Chapter 135: Reciprocity
After Lu Lotus left, Zeng Rong carefully combed through her words.
First of all, she got a message that the first queen had been dead for more than ten years, and the new imperial concubine was really high-level, no wonder her son was able to become a great treasure in the end, and after succeeding to the throne, he wantonly slaughtered and suppressed officials at all levels related to the queen and queen, in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the root cause to prevent future troubles.
Such a person is too vicious and has no bottom line in doing things, she must stay away.
Secondly, Zeng Rong made a mistake before, Wang Tong is not the queen of his mother and son, but borrowed the light of his brother Wang Bai, this kind of marriage with quid pro quo is mostly without emotion at all, on the contrary, her existence will always remind the emperor of his incompetence and helplessness as an emperor, so it is not surprising that their mother and son are not favored.
Presumably this is also an important reason why the Wang family is willing to marry the Xu family for Qin and Jin, after all, at that time, Lord Xu's official to the first assistant of the cabinet should have a greater say in the matter of establishing the prince, but after all, people are not as good as heaven, but this heaven refers to the heaven of the Son of Heaven.
Third, the origin of Green Lotus is a bit suspicious, and the purpose of entering the palace is by no means simple, but what Zeng Rong doesn't understand is who is the person behind her, how can he push out a person who lacks scheming and ability, isn't she afraid of being implicated?
Fourth, who is Liu Chunmiao, the queen or the imperial concubine? If you say that you are jealous, it should be that the imperial concubine is even more jealous of the son of the former queen, right?
It's a pity that Zeng Rong doesn't know what kind of hidden illness he has, but from the fact that he can send someone to visit Qin Chuxue, at least his mind is normal and he won't be a fool.
Fifth, whether the person who framed her this time was the queen or the imperial concubine, she had always thought that it was the current queen, but after listening to Lu He's words, she was not sure.
When she was contemplating and pondering, Ah Mei came over with a food box, and saw Zeng Rong sitting upright and entering a state of contemplation, thinking of the green lotus she had just met, Ah Mei walked up to Zeng Rong and asked, "What do you want?" Isn't that what she said again? ”
"You go and close the door." Zeng Rong glanced behind her and said.
Ah Mei put down the food box, turned around and closed the door, no one will come to the workshop at this point on the left and right.
"Just now, Lu Lotus asked me to beg Aunt Qin, but I didn't agree." Zeng Rong didn't dare to tell the imperial concubine and the former queen, she was afraid that Ah Mei would announce the secret to Duke Liu, and she would definitely be implicated at that time.
"It's best if you don't agree, Aunt Qin will definitely not be able to call the shots in this kind of thing. But she's really hateful, why should she encourage you to come out if she doesn't want to come out? Stay away from her in the future. Ame said disdainfully.
Zeng Rong nodded, "I know, but don't ask her about this, just pretend not to know, I'm afraid that if you ask, she will have to blame me again, maybe the three of us will have to fight." ”
"Hit it, who is afraid of her?" Ah Mei is worried that the breath last time has not been smooth.
"I'm afraid, okay? It's really delayed my embroidery work, in case I am kicked out of the palace or even lose my life, are you willing? Zeng Rong regretted it a little, so he shouldn't tell the truth.
But as soon as Amei came in, she asked, "Shouldn't she say anything", this "she" obviously refers to the green lotus, that is, she bumped into the green lotus on the way over, but Zeng Rong is the only one left in the workshop, if she denies it, she is afraid that Amei will be suspicious.
Fortunately, she understood Amei's temperament and didn't say all those words, although she really wanted to ask Amei about the imperial concubine.
Amei was frightened by Zeng Rong's coaxing, but she didn't dare not agree.
Zeng Rong picked up the rice bowl at this time.
After the meal, Amei packed up the food box and left, Zeng Rong was busy again, and after a stick of incense, the green lotus came back, she stood next to her embroidery frame, looked at Zeng Rong for a while, and stopped talking, Zeng Rong replied to her, "Don't worry, this matter is too related, I don't want to die yet." ”
After speaking, she didn't look at the other party again, and the green lotus lowered her head and bit her lip, and also sat down and picked up the needle.
Ah Mei came about half an hour later, saw the green lotus, gave her a roll of the eyes, saw Zeng Rong shook his head at her, but did not come forward to provoke, helped Zeng Rong add some charcoal to the foot stove, made tea, she moved a stool to sit next to Zeng Rong, picked up the book and read.
This is what Zeng Rong taught her to do, originally Zeng Rong didn't want her to accompany her, but Amei didn't do it, Zeng Rong thought about the big night, he was a little scared in the workshop alone, and he longed for someone to accompany him in his heart, so in order to find something to do for Amei, he found her a book for her to read.
Ah Mei can't ask for it, and she also knows what her weaknesses are, so the two of them read books and embroider one person, and no one affects anyone, but for the sake of Zeng Rong's eyes, Ah Mei will stare at the hourglass from time to time, and every half an hour will ask Zeng Rong to drink some water or feed her a snack or something, and will also get up and walk around, or ask Zeng Rong for advice on what he doesn't understand.
Seeing this scene, Lu He was envious and jealous, but she didn't dare to stir up trouble again, these two people, she couldn't afford to provoke anyone.
On the contrary, when Zeng Rong and Amei left, she had to accompany the smiley face, otherwise, she would not dare to walk at night alone.
From this day on, Zeng Rong except for sleeping and going to the toilet, the rest of the time is almost in the workshop, every morning, half an hour earlier than others, two meals a day are delivered by Amei, a meal is at most a quarter of an hour, at night others apply for the end of work, she will not leave until Xuzheng.
After Liu Chunmiao found out, he came to see her a few times in the evening, and also sent her some pastries, and also gave her a delicate small hand stove.
Qin Chuxue also came to see her, that day it happened that Zeng Rong was using gold foil thread to outline the lace of peony petals, which was the kind of three-dimensional lace with a little hollowing, which was a stitch developed by Zeng Rong in his last life, which can only be applied to gold foil thread and silver foil thread, and other embroidery threads are soft and can't make hollow patterns that are established.
This is she studied for a long time to realize, I remember that Xu Jing gave her a hairpin, inlaid with a peony flower made of gold leaf, in order to repay him, Zeng Rong studied for half a month, with gold foil line and silver foil line to Xu Jing embroidered a belt with a hollow plum blossom pattern, very gorgeous, but also chic, and unique.
It's a pity that this belt was later seen by Lord Xu, and he reprimanded Xu Jing, saying that it was too ostentatious and too extravagant, and Zeng Rong never embroidered this kind of thing again.
I didn't expect to use it this time, and I am not afraid of ostentatiousness and luxury.
Qin Chuxue had never seen this kind of embroidery, studied it for a while, and learned that this was Zeng Rong's self-created stitch method when he embroidered the upper last time, Qin Chuxue looked at her with a bit of indescribable research.
