After about half an hour, Zeng Rong entered the gate of Yaohua Palace, and stood at the foot of the steps of the upper room while waiting for the eunuch's report while admiring the flowers in the courtyard.

The lilies are gone, the roses on the wall are gone, replaced by chrysanthemums, and most of them are famous products, what ink chrysanthemums, green peonies, green clouds, West Lake willow moon, etc., everything, put into a variety of shapes, competing for beauty, even with a little more light and elegant fragrance in the air, Zeng Rong couldn't help but sniff.

No wonder the emperor came to Yaohua Palace twice in three days, this woman does have a little skill, and it is not only the timeless flowers that are pleasing to the eye in this courtyard, but also the beauty that is more delicate than flowers.

When he entered the door of the upper room, Zeng Rong was still savoring the lightness of the tip of his nose, and he couldn't help but have a little smile on his face, this scene fell in Tong Yao's eyes, and before Zeng Rong saluted and said hello, Tong Yao asked first: "It seems that our Zeng Shiguan must have something good today, he smiled so happily, it is better to say it and make the palace happy." ”

Zeng Rong hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, "Back to the imperial concubine Niangniang, Xia Guan was amazed by the chrysanthemums in the Niangniang courtyard, Xia Guan is so big, I have never seen such a beautiful chrysanthemum, and I also know that chrysanthemums originally have so many varieties and colors, and chrysanthemums turned out to be this fragrance, which is really a long insight." ”

The imperial concubine was sitting on the kang at this time, she had just woken up from her lunch break, she was a little tired and heavy, but after hearing this, her mind was a little clearer, she smiled, and said tentatively: "Oh, this palace remembers that you will also like the lilies in the yard when you come in summer, and you will like this chrysanthemum again." It seems that you and Bengong's preferences are a little similar, and if you knew this, Bengong should have brought you to your side, and there is a person who talks to relieve boredom every day. ”

"Back to the imperial concubine, Xia Guan is a vulgar person in the countryside, how can he have such an elegant preference, and he doesn't have to be abrupt with this good flower?" After speaking, Zeng Rong didn't wait for the other party to reply, and held the embroidered scriptures with both hands and sent them to the palace maid next to him.

When the palace maid took over the scriptures, Zeng Rongfang said: "Back to Niangniang, the lower official is here to send the scriptures, and I also ask the mother to check, this scripture was embroidered by a sister of the Shanggong Bureau before Niangniang, and her embroidery skills are not under the lower officials." ”

Tong Yao didn't really want Zeng Rong to embroider any scriptures, she just wanted to make things difficult for her in the back garden that day, but Zeng Rong actually rejected Zhu Wu in front of the emperor.

At that time, not to mention how angry she was in her heart, according to her previous temper, she really wanted to clean up Zeng Rong well, let her see what would happen if she offended her.

In the past two years, she has more Buddha nature, Xu is older, and she has less of the heart to fight and win, and then, with Wang Tong entering the palace, with the birth of the ten princes, her focus has gradually shifted, the emperor is no longer the only one in her life, her son is the most important reliance in the second half of her life, she must push her son to the throne, otherwise, their mother and son don't want to have a peaceful life.

Zeng Rong saw that the imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and he didn't take this scripture, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Qiqi Imperial Concubine, this matter is the fault of the lower officials, the lower officials are irrefutable, I just ask the mother to be magnanimous, don't worry about the lower officials." ”

Tong Yao saw Zeng Rong put his posture so low, and felt a little soothed in his heart, and said: "That's it, this palace also knows that you are embarrassed, and this palace is not so unreasonable to make things difficult for you for this little thing." ”

"Xia Guan thanked Niangniang." Zeng Rong curtsied.

"Okay, some little things, the left one is wrong and the other is thankful, and those who don't know think that this palace is a mean person. By the way, you just said that the embroiderer of this scripture is better than you, why has this palace never heard of this person? Tong Yao said as she took the scriptures from the palace maid next to her and looked at them.

It's her son's font, it's really well embroidered, and at first glance, I thought it was her son's writing panel, and the bearing, folding, turning, hooking, etc. are all very well connected, and I can hardly find anything wrong.

"Hui Niangniang, this sister doesn't read much, she can't design her own patterns, and in terms of embroidery skills alone, she is indeed stronger than Xiaguan. However, she is no longer in the Shanggong Bureau, and she has also become a female official in the Department of Medicine. Zeng Rong replied.

Zeng Rongyi said, Tong Yao guessed that it was the green lotus, these days the green lotus has been running to the Yaohua Palace, sending all kinds of tonic to Yu Bing, that girl is much easier to deal with than Zeng Rong, the desire to climb the high branches in her heart is all written on her face, Liu Chunmiao had recommended her before, and she wanted to send her to Yaohua Palace, but she didn't like it.

However, Zeng Rong would be a bit surprised by such a person, reasoning, these two people should not be all the way, could it be that there is a secret that she doesn't know?

"This man is close to you?" Tong Yao asked.

Zeng Rong shook his head, "Fortunately, we have quarreled before, that will be in the Shanggong Bureau, the two of us have equal embroidery skills, and we are somewhat competitive, but now that we are separated, we are more open-minded than before." ”

Tong Yao understood as soon as she heard it, and she said, these two people are not all the way at all, and now they are open-minded because there is no conflict of interest, because Zeng Rong is by the emperor's side, and that green lotus has a plan.

Si Yaosi, Si Yaosi's place is good, can she also consider giving her a little sweetness?

"That's it, if you're free another day, you bring her to see Bengong, and say that Bengong thanked her first." After speaking, Tong Yao glanced at the aunt in charge beside her.

The aunt in charge went into the back room.

"By the way, you often go in and out of Cining Palace, do you know why the second prince quit his husband and stopped studying?" Tong Yao changed the subject.

"Back to Niangniang, I heard the old lady say that he was not in good health and needed to recuperate, but His Royal Highness said it himself, saying that Mr. was old-fashioned and boring, and he didn't understand it before, and then he went to Guozi to listen to the debate and realized that reading is so different from reading." Zeng Rong pondered and replied.

Before she came, she thought that the imperial concubine might ask about Cining Palace and Zhu Heng, Zhu Heng has recently changed medicine to food supplement and suspended school, Zeng Rong has already thought about the rhetoric on the road.

"What do you mean, could it be that he also wants to go to the Guozijian?" Tong Yao believed this, and leaned forward, which is a subconscious action when people are in a hurry.

"That's not true, the lower official asked him, and he shook his head, saying that others don't have to look at him like monsters every day."

Tong Yao also believed this at first hearing, but soon she found a problem, this kind of topic is generally only confided in people who are close to each other, if Zhu Heng and Zeng Rong are good, Zeng Rong has no reason to betray Zhu Heng, if the two are just ordinary master-servant relationships, with Zhu Heng's personality, he will never say this, that is a person who has been closed off for ten years and is difficult to approach even his father, how can he easily confide in outsiders?
