Chapter 236, don't dare to argue
The nursery rhyme can't tell the reason for this dislike, obviously the girl in front of her has not grown her eyebrows and eyes, and her body has not been drawn, even if she changes her hairstyle and silk clothes, she can be placed in the pile, and she will not be the most eye-catching one, such a person should not pose a threat to her.
But she just didn't like it.
The nursery rhyme thought for a while, and it wasn't until the eunuch came out to pass the word, Zeng Rong curtsied to her, and followed the eunuch into the Qianning Palace, that the nursery rhyme figured out this problem.
This girl is too exquisite, not at all like a person of her age, only half a year after entering the palace, she got to know several of the most powerful people in the palace, the queen mother, the emperor, the queen, she, and Zhu Heng, also successfully changed from a small embroidery girl in the Shanggong Bureau to a female official in the inner chamberlain.
This ability, this ability, even she was inferior to herself back then.
You know, how many little palace maids in the Shanggong Bureau have never had the opportunity to meet these masters of the harem in their lives.
But this girl did it in only half a year, what is there in this that she doesn't know?
It is said that after Zeng Rong entered the Qianning Palace, he was brought into the queen's house, that is, the east room used by the emperor to eat before, when Zeng Rong entered, the queen was sitting on the kang and coaxing Zhu Shen to play, and when she saw Zeng Rong, she ordered the nurse to take Zhu Shen away.
Zeng Rong knelt down to say hello.
"Let's be even, just come back from Cining Palace?" Queen Wang asked.
"Back to the Queen, yes."
"How is the second prince? Have you taken the medicine? ”
Zeng Rong saw that as soon as the other party came up, he asked the second prince directly, obviously not wanting to give her any room for maneuver, so he had to bow down and reply: "Go back to the queen mother, eat, the second highness is not clear whether the second highness is good or not, the lower official is just sending medicine." ”
Hearing this, Queen Wang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Do you want to tell the palace that the medicine has been delivered for more than an hour." ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the next official accompanied the queen mother and the second prince to talk."
"Oh, what did you say?"
"When I went back to the queen's mother, I told some interesting things about the lower officials when they were in their hometown, and also told some jokes about the lower officials when they first entered Beijing."
Queen Wang looked at Zeng Rong again and smiled, "You are indeed very smart. ”
"Don't dare, the queen praised it falsely, and the lower officials just told the truth." Zeng Rong replied more and more respectfully.
Or it shouldn't be called respect, it should be panic, because if you listen carefully, you can hear her voice trembling.
There's no way, she can't afford to offend any of these masters, but she can't tell the truth, and the lie involves bullying the king, what can she do?
After listening to her words "tell the truth", the queen smiled again and asked, "What a good truth, this palace asks you, what is your impression of the second prince?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the lower official is not familiar with the second highness, and the lower official is a servant, he is the master, and the lower official does not dare to discuss it."
Queen Wang grinded her teeth secretly, she was enough to give Zeng Rong face, she didn't ask her about her relationship with Zhu Heng directly, she only asked two innocuous questions vaguely, and knew that Zeng Rong was lying, she didn't expose her, but she didn't expect this girl to be bold, and directly gave her a "dare not discuss", didn't she blame her? It's she, the queen, who is leading her to discuss the rights and wrongs of her master!
Is this okay?
Queen Wang wanted to clean up Zeng Rong, but this was the emperor's territory, and the emperor was in the upper study opposite, maybe she would come over at any time, she didn't want the emperor to misunderstand that she was targeting Zeng Rong and the second prince.
But it's not okay to do or say anything, doesn't it fuel this girl's arrogance, and she is still the queen in her eyes?
"Okay, very good, I don't dare to talk about it, you mean that this palace can't ask you about it, and this palace doesn't deserve to ask you about it, even so, this palace asks you, what is the lord and what is the servant?" Queen Wang looked at Zeng Rong with a smile and said slowly.
Seeing this smile and listening to the tone of the other party's speech, Zeng Rong instinctively felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly knelt down, "Empress Qiyu, the lower officials don't dare, the lower officials have no such intentions, the lower officials are just confused for a while, forgetting the old saying, rules are dead, people are alive, and the lower officials are confused." Xia Guan's first impression of the second prince was gentle and elegant. ”
"It's been over a long time ago, what's not to dare to talk about?" Queen Wang knew that Zeng Rong was prevaricating her, but she didn't want to really turn her face with her, a queen mother and an emperor were all things she had to scruple about.
As soon as she finished speaking, there were two laughs outside the door, and then, the emperor strode in, "Haha, haha, I don't dare to talk about it, this girl is really bold, after scolding the queen mother and scolding the queen, girl, you also touch, how many heads do you have on your neck?" ”
"Your Majesty." Queen Wang was busy getting off the kang and curtsy.
Zhu Xu waved his hand, sat opposite the queen, and asked Zeng Rong: "Come, tell me, what does the queen ask you, you don't dare to talk about it." ”
"Your Majesty, concubines..." Queen Wang didn't finish her words, but was stopped by Zhu Xu waving her hand.
"Back to the emperor, the queen asked the lower official what his impression of the second prince was, and the lower official replied that he was not familiar with the second highness and did not dare to discuss it, and the queen said that it was not a vain discussion, but a question, and the lower official replied with two words." Zeng Rong didn't know how much the emperor had heard, and he didn't dare to hide it for the queen.
Furthermore, this issue does not involve any privacy, so there is no need to hide it.
"Oh, which two words?" Zhu Xu also wanted to know what Zeng Rong thought of Zhu Heng.
Zeng Rong repeated those two words.
Zhu Xu nodded, "Even if you still have a little eyesight, it's not hopeless." ”
Zeng Rong lowered his head and did not answer.
Zhu Xu didn't want Zeng Rong to answer, but said to Queen Wang: "Queen, let this girl send medicine to the queen mother, it is my meaning, the queen mother likes this girl, saying that she is from the countryside, don't look at sometimes stupid, but stupid is good, can be funny, can coax people, work diligently, and have skillful hands, so I let her go over to enlighten and enlighten the queen mother." ”
Queen Wang naturally couldn't refute the emperor's words, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, the concubines also have this intention, the queen mother is going to Puji Temple early in the morning to make incense, the concubine means, it is better to let Zeng Rong accompany the queen mother, and there is also a person to talk on the road." ”
"It's okay, just arrange it according to the queen's wishes." Zhu Xu would never embarrass the queen in such a trivial matter.
Besides, with Zeng Rong here, maybe he can take Zhu Heng out to let off steam, didn't he go to a rally last time because of this girl Zhu Heng?
Zeng Rong saw that the two of them touched their lips, and gave her another problem, and she wanted to refuse, but she really didn't have the guts.
"Girl, aren't you happy?" Zhu Xu noticed Zeng Rong's reluctance.
"It is an honor for the lower officials to return to the emperor."
"Alright, let's go down. Remember, Ming'er is a good student to accompany the Queen Mother, if there is a problem, only you ask. ”
"Whoa." Zeng Rong agreed with a bitter face.
