When Liu Chunmiao saw Zeng Rong mention the word "you", she naturally referred to her and Qin Chuxue, as she expected, this child really held a grudge.

"You're going to see your Aunt Qin?"

Zeng Rong nodded, "I went to look for her after dinner that day, she didn't admit it at first, saying that she forgot to remind me, saying that she had seen me draw patterns with her own pen before, and I didn't expect that I would directly draw the pen of the second prince." Later, under my repeated questioning, she said that it was good for me not to tell me this, afraid that I would be too careful, saying that she just liked me, that I was very talented and motivated, that I wanted to do the best no matter what I did, that she admired my character very much, and that she also pitied my life experience, nothing more. ”

"Didn't mention the second prince?"

"I mentioned it, admit that it was the pen of the second prince." Zeng Rong blinked.

"I mean, she didn't tell you what kind of person the second prince is?" Liu Chunmiao asked.

"Said it, the first queen's sister-in-law."

Liu Chunmiao was so angry with Zeng Rong that she grinded her teeth secretly, and asked directly: "Did she say that the second prince had any hidden diseases, or was it something different from ordinary people?" ”

"No, she only mentioned that the second prince is the son of the first queen, and she was the palace maid next to the first queen before, oh, by the way, there is another sentence, the second prince is well educated, and he writes a good hand, this is what I mentioned first, I praise the second prince's words are good, and she is the second prince is better educated. By the way, aunt, since the second prince is the sister-in-law of the former queen, he should also be the eldest son of the emperor. Queen Mother, how could the Queen Mother give me a pair of peony flowers? Also, Aunt Qin, I won't tell you anything, I haven't slept well these nights, and I can't figure it out. After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he looked at each other with a smile.

She knew what Liu Chunmiao wanted to ask, but she wanted to say this from Liu Chunmiao's mouth, not Qin Chuxue.

Liu Chunmiao really believed Zeng Rong, mainly because Zeng Rong pretended to be too similar, plus she was not very old, she had just come out of the countryside for less than a year, her experience was simple, and it was too normal to figure it out.

And the reason why Qin Chuxue didn't tell the truth is easy to understand, the Queen Mother has an order not to discuss or pass on anything about the second prince, Qin Chuxue has just been punished for the second prince, so naturally she doesn't dare to disobey the will of the Queen Mother at this moment.

In fact, the second prince rarely shows up, not to mention the Shanggong Bureau, on the harem, there are also many new eunuchs and palace maids who don't know his existence, let alone see him, because he rarely walks out of his Chuhua Palace, and the Queen Mother found him a gentleman, it is said that most of the time he is indulged in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is not surprising that he is well educated.

The reason why Zeng Rong was able to be matched by Qin Chuxue and the Queen Mother at the same time is probably because she is full of talent, palace maids are easy to find, talented palace maids are too scarce, the second prince has been like this in his life, the Queen Mother definitely wants to find him a hearty person, who can accompany him and understand him.

To be honest, Liu Chunmiao is also very sympathetic to the second prince, but the battle in the harem is so cruel, if Zeng Rong does not have the Xu family behind her, she is also willing to fulfill the second prince, and she will not push Zeng Rong in front of the imperial concubine.

"It's no wonder you can't figure it out, this second prince is different from ordinary people, I don't talk much about it. In short, he is not a normal person, the Queen Mother also feels sorry for him, and wants to find a caring person to take care of him, you are smart, you can learn well, and you are from the countryside, down-to-earth, able to endure hardships, and not hypocritical. Liu Chunmiao stared at Zeng Rong after speaking, she wondered if Zeng Rong understood her hint.

Sure enough, Zeng Rong did not disappoint her.

"Auntie, do you mean that taking care of this second prince is hard work? Do you have to be down-to-earth and not pretentious? ”

"Let's just say that, practical, capable, careful, kind, patient and patient, tolerant, long-term, lively, laughing, enlightening, and it is best to know a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Liu Chunmiao counted the same, and looked at Zeng Rong and smiled after speaking.

Zeng Rong also stretched out his hand to face himself one by one, and then smiled bitterly: "Auntie, are you according to my own special conditions?" ”

"That's why the Queen Mother can fall in love with you, otherwise, do you think it's so easy to pass today? When did you see the Queen Mother say something and regret it? It's called resistance, resistance, you know? Liu Chunmiao accentuated the tone of the word "resisting the purpose".

Zeng Rong suddenly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and asked tremblingly: "I understand, I understand, I want to kill the head of the resistance." That, that, that I, am I, do I have to go? ”

"It's up to you what you think? By the way, there is one thing I remember mentioning to you, the selection will be held after the queen mother's birthday, and a group of female officials will be screened out in the harem after the selection, and a few female officials need to be added to the inner warden, and you should be able to win with your strength, do you have this idea? ”

"Can I count it?" Zeng Rong shook his head, paused, and continued: "Auntie, I'll be honest with you, in fact, if you don't tell me this, I am inclined to enter Cining Palace, you think, the queen and the imperial concubine both have the intention of wanting me, no matter who I go to, I will offend the other, therefore, I think entering Cining Palace is the best arrangement, so that both of them are offended, which means that they are not offended." But I listen to you, it seems that the second prince, uh, in short, does not approve of me entering Cining Palace, and wants me to go to the inner chamberlain. If I can make my own decisions, I would rather stay in the embroidery workshop, be an embroidery girl quietly, and wait for a few years to be released to find someone to marry. My aunt also knows that I come from the countryside, although I am a little clever, it is limited to studying knowledge or embroidery skills, and the battle in the harem is too complicated, I don't like it, and it is difficult to adapt. ”

"No one is born with a penchant for fighting, you're young, take your time. However, it is unlikely that you will stay in the embroidery workshop, so you should think clearly as soon as possible, make up your mind, and don't regret it in the future. ”

After Liu Chunmiao finished speaking, she carefully discussed the pros and cons of these four options with Zeng Rong, and also mentioned that female officials are not absolutely unable to release people from the palace to marry, especially the female officials of the inner chamberlain, who are basically a son of heaven and a courtier.

Of course, she said this more obscurely.

But Zeng Rong understood, his eyes lit up, and he asked with hope: "Really?" Aunt means inner chamberlain... ”

Before he finished asking, Zeng Rong's eyebrows drooped down, and he muttered: "It's useless, the Queen Mother fell in love with me, I definitely can't escape, who in the palace can be bigger than the Queen Mother?" ”

"If you are willing to go to the inner chamberlain, I will show this old face to ask the imperial concubine for you, the imperial concubine is wise and knowledgeable, and she is the first to fall in love with you, who knows that the queen will insert a lever, she is not good at fighting with the queen, but it is still okay to help you say a few good words in front of the emperor."

Zeng Rong was noncommittal when he heard this, biting his lip and thinking for a while before looking up at Liu Chunmiao.
