It turned out that the Queen Mother also knew her grandson too well, and knew that Zhu Heng might not be willing to give Zhen Qing face, so she specially sent Aunt Yuan to say hello.

There are so many people outside waiting to see Zhu Heng, she doesn't want to mess up this scene.

Zhu Heng really didn't want to give Zhen Qing face, but he couldn't ignore the face of the Queen Mother, for this reason, he put forward a condition and wanted him to go to see the people, but it didn't work out to take Zhen Qing like this, the reason is also very simple, how can there be a reason to bring a concubine to the party, if you want to bring it, you can only bring a palace maid or a eunuch. Therefore, it is okay for Zhen Qing to accompany him to attend, unless she changes into palace maid clothes.

Aunt Yuan knew that she couldn't screw Zhu Heng, so she didn't insist anymore, so she had to order Zhen Qing to change into a palace maid's clothes.

Zhu Heng had no objection to this, but he also made up his mind, ordered someone to call Amei, and took the two palace maids to the main hall, but he did not favor one over the other.

The Zeng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also very lively, Chen helped the cook to make a table full of dishes, and Zeng Fuxiang also pulled Zeng Rong to talk away, saying that he did not feel sorry for his sister, nor did he forget the hardships that his sister had endured over the years, but as the eldest son in the family, as the main labor force in the family, he knew how difficult it would be for his father to leave him.

is also a person in his forties, Zeng Chengchun is several years younger than Uncle Qin, but he looks much older than Uncle Qin, not to mention the gray hair on his sideburns, and his back is a little rickety.

Zeng Fuxiang said that these are not to excuse his father, but to be ashamed that he, as the eldest son in the family, did not fulfill his responsibility to take care of his younger siblings, nor did he fulfill his mother's last wish.

Although these words did not get Zeng Rong's approval, they successfully dispelled Zeng Rong's anger.

The eldest brother is kind-hearted, and the foolishness and filial piety in his bones are not so easy to change, she can't see him a few times a year, so why bother to embarrass him?

Instead of causing the two brothers and sisters to fall apart because of this, why don't you bring the second brother and Ah Hua together first, and have the two of them show up to say the word and teach him by word and deed than she is more effective than her?

Thinking about it like this, the breath in Zeng Rong's chest also dissipated.

At the dinner table, Zeng Rong deliberately brought out the topic of bitter and sweet memories, and several people recalled the situation when they spent the New Year in their hometown, which would be really poor, and when they were young, they would kill a chicken at home, and if they were lucky, they could go to the ditch or Qingshan Lake to touch two fish, and the rest were a few kinds of green vegetables, and tofu was considered a good thing.

But even so, after Tian Shuilan entered the door, their brothers and sisters couldn't eat much of this chicken, basically one piece of chicken was gone, and the rest naturally satisfied Tian Shuilan's cravings, because she was pregnant not long after she entered the door.

"It's a strange thing, I usually hate this woman so much, but now I have two more glasses of wine when I talk about her, big brother, you can't be confused, if you want to jump back, she really can't get rid of that leech." After Zeng Guixiang finished speaking, he made a leech sucking blood.

"The second brother is better than anything, I have to compare this, I am most afraid of this." Zeng Hua pouted and said.

"What are you afraid of, you haven't gone to the ground, what you're really afraid of is Ah Rong." Zeng Fuxiang said.

"Big brother knows that I don't like it? Didn't you mean to block me again? Zeng Rong replied with a pun.

"It's the fault of the eldest brother, the eldest brother will not be in the future, the eldest brother will be a good big brother in the future, and don't let us Ah Rong work so hard." Zeng Fuxiang also replied with a pun, and reached out to touch Zeng Rong's head.

At this point, the two of them have talked about it, let go of each other's knots, and the happiest person is Chen, who has to toast Zeng Rong with water instead of wine.

With Chen taking the lead, Zeng Guixiang and Zeng Hua also made trouble, four brothers and sisters plus Chen, five people while eating while reminiscing about the past and imagining the future, crying and laughing and making trouble, unconsciously, Zeng Rong also ate a few more glasses of wine, slightly drunk.

The carriage of the Xu family appeared at the mouth of the alley, and when Zeng Rong left, Zeng Hua hugged her and was reluctant to let go, crying and crying, saying that he would like to thank her for giving her a home, and then saying that he felt sorry for her so hard, and said that she didn't rob her people, and she would not do anything wrong with her at any time.

Zeng Rong knew that she was also drunk when he heard it, so he hurriedly ordered Ziluo to cook her a bowl of sobering soup, and at the same time took her back to the backyard early.

Seeing Ziluo send Zeng Hua back to her house, Zeng Rong said goodbye to the two brothers, she has already explained what should be explained, with Uncle Qin here, she believes that they will not be able to suffer.

Back in the palace, Zeng Rong first went back to the Inner Court Bureau to find Li Ruolan to sell her leave, Li Ruolan was not there, she told Aunt Liang and went back to her own residence in the Inner Three Institutes, planning to rest for a while to sober up and then go to Qianning Palace, which will make most of the emperor have a family banquet in Cining Palace.

Who knew that Zeng Rong was woken up by a knock on the door as soon as he squinted, it was Xiao Quanzi next to the emperor who came to pass the word, and the emperor's meaning ordered her to go to Cining Palace quickly.

"Cining Palace?" Although Zeng Rong's wine was not very sober, he also understood that Cining Palace was holding a family banquet, what could she do as a female historian?

Is this royal feat recorded? Isn't it every year? Didn't Li Ruolan also pass?

"Yes, the emperor has sent his servants out several times to ask you if you want to return to the palace." Xiao Quanzi urged eagerly.

When Zeng Rong heard this, he also knew that he would soak his face in cold water first to get rid of the wine, and then he followed Xiao Quanzi into Cining Palace.

Far away, Zeng Rong heard the sound of silk and bamboo drum music, and when he entered the main hall, he found that Cining Palace was really lively, there were drummers and musicians on both sides of the gate, and there were several women dancing in the middle of the hall, which came out of the palace music workshop.

There is a circle of dwarfs around the hall, and the west side is sitting the masters of the harem and the princes and princesses who have not yet reached adulthood, the first one is the noble concubine, and the east side is sitting is the adult prince and the children of the clan, the first one is empty, and the second one is Zhu Wu.

There are three people sitting in front of the main hall, the queen mother is in the center, the emperor is in the east, the queen is in the west, Xiao Quanzi led Zeng Rong to move to the back porch along the root of the wall, Li Ruolan is sitting cross-legged in front of a low table, she is recording today's family banquet.

As soon as Xiao Quanzi left, Li Ruolan told her that Zhu Heng had just quarreled with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and left the table angrily, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor were very angry, which would make her anxious to find her, and also wanted her to persuade Zhu Heng.

Zeng Rong didn't move for a while when she heard this, she wanted to know why she quarreled, with Zhu Heng's temperament, he didn't force him to the last resort, he wouldn't easily quarrel with the Queen Mother, let alone in front of so many people, the Queen Mother was the elder he respected the most, how could he disobey her old man?

Li Ruolan didn't want to hide it from Zeng Rong, and directly told her that it was because of family affairs.

These words succeeded in making Zeng Rong shut up.
