Chapter 530: Overestimated
That night, Zeng Rong took Zhu Xu outside for more than an hour, from Qianmen Street back to Chang'an Street, visited the lantern festival, and also visited the night market, Zhu Xu's heart disease did not go to Zeng Rong did not know, but she knew a little, Zhu Xu saw this prosperous scene, touched a lot, and asked Zeng Rong whether the people in the capital were so comfortable and rich, and what the people in her hometown ate during the festival, what they played, whether they could not worry about food and clothing, etc.
Zeng Rong answered him one by one, and also took him to sit among the people and listen to them talk about the most discussed topics in their daily lives, in addition to the year and harvest, but also war, taxes, grain prices, diseases, etc.
Of course, there are also some rumors and gossip about the royal family or officials, coincidentally, I happened to hear someone talking about today's princes, it seems that Zhu Wu's reputation among the people is not small, saying that he only knew people at a young age, but did not say anything specific, only mentioned his relationship with the Fuguo family, mentioned the prominence of the Yue family, full of envy.
Maybe they don't know much about the other princes, and they only mention a few words, but they also know that Zhu Heng is not good at doing things, and it seems that they are limited to this.
When he heard this, Zeng Rong specially paid attention to Zhu Xu's expression, but unfortunately, the other party was too good at controlling her emotions, and she couldn't see the joy.
Back in the palace, when passing by the three inner institutes, Zhu Xu stopped, looked at Zeng Rong seriously and said, "Girl, I didn't mistake you." I remember, the road is simple, enlightenment is in heaven, I hope you don't forget your original intention. ”
"When I go back to the emperor, the lower officials will keep it in mind." Zeng Rong replied with a straight face and curtsied.
Zhu Xu didn't say anything more, turned around and strode away.
Zeng Rong was woken up by Ah Chun the next day, and Fang learned from Ah Chun's mouth that the news that she accompanied the emperor out of the palace for a night tour last night still spread out. It is reported that the emperor has been summoned by the Queen Mother, and Ah Chun called Zeng Rong up to freshen up and prepare for summoning at any time.
Who knew that after waiting for a day, she didn't see anyone looking for her, but she heard that the emperor went to Kunning Palace after coming out of Cining Palace, and stayed in Kunning Palace for breakfast, and went to Yaohua Palace after coming out of Kunning Palace, and no one knew what he said.
In the next three days, no one still came to Zeng Rong, it seemed that everything was very calm, Zeng Rong did not go to the study, stayed in the three institutes to be busy embroidering wedding dresses, during which he went to Cining Palace for Zhu Heng acupuncture, the Queen Mother saw that she did not mention the matter of leaving the palace that night, and only told her to take care of Zhu Heng.
The twentieth day of the first month resumed the court meeting, Zeng Rong began to get up early and follow the court again, because of the backlog of government affairs during the New Year, there are many twists and turns and topics that need to be discussed, and the time of the court meeting has been extended for a few days, Zeng Rong needs to sort out a lot of copywriting, and he goes out early in the morning, and basically comes back after dinner.
What surprised Zeng Rong was that this time Queen Wang's premature birth and dystocia were such a big thing, Wang Bai did not propose to investigate the matter thoroughly at the court meeting, and even in the upper study, he did not question the matter.
After all, all the evidence and testimony at the beginning were from Chong Zengrong, and later, the Queen Mother found out that most of the matter had nothing to do with the imperial concubine, such a good opportunity, the Wang family didn't take advantage of it, this shouldn't be.
Zeng Rongcai didn't believe that Queen Wang didn't know who was behind it, and he didn't believe that the Wang family was willing to suffer such a big loss, the only possibility was what Zhu Xu promised to Queen Wang.
Will it be the crown prince?
Otherwise, how can you explain that the emperor didn't let Zeng Rong help sort out the folds in the next few days?
However, this explanation doesn't seem to make sense, at least the emperor still allowed her to follow the court.
Zeng Rong didn't tell Zhu Heng about his confusion, for them, the top priority was that Zhu Heng could stand up and become a normal person, and then he had hope to do something else.
It's a pity that Zeng Rong still overestimated the bottom line of the family, the Wang family didn't make a move before, not because they had any kindness to her, but because they were not sure that they could hit it with one blow, and Queen Wang's premature birth was a matter of the inner court.
No, with the end of the Spring Festival, with Ouyang Si's first class in high school, the court questioned Ouyang Si's twists and turns flying towards Zhu Xu like snowflakes, pointing the finger at Zeng Rong, they suspected that Zeng Rong revealed the topic of Spring Fu to Ouyang Si by entering and leaving the study, the reason is that Ouyang Si is not a talent in the first case, nor is it a move in Xie Yuanzhong, and he can only be said to be in the middle and upper, why there has been such a rapid improvement in just a few months after entering Beijing, it is really doubtful.
Zhu Xu publicized the article of Ouyang Sidian's test on the spot, but this could not suppress those doubting voices, some people said that Zeng Rong gave Ouyang Si a thorough question in advance.
Not to mention anything else, Zeng Rong goes in and out of the court meeting every day, and can go in and out of the study at will, she must know the exam questions of this Spring Festival, not only that, but she also revealed some of the content of the court meeting to Ouyang Si, so Ouyang Si can respond so in line with the holy will.
At a critical time, Xu Fushan stood up and said that Ouyang Si was his student, and he had been to the Xu Mansion to ask him about the important affairs of the court and politics in the past few months.
Also, Ouyang Si has not been going to Taixue to listen to studies these days, and some are channels to inquire about major affairs of the court and politics.
And Zeng Rong, as a female official in the inner court, rarely goes out of the palace, where is the time to mention an outsider?
It's a pity that Xu Fushan's voice was quickly questioned, and coincidentally, Xu Fushan himself also had a son who participated in the Spring Festival, but he didn't even have a tribute, so his answer was not enough to believe, let alone to rely on.
On the contrary, someone put it forward, saying that Ouyang Sihui would enter the palace to visit Zhu Heng every other day, and Zhu Heng had worshiped this Mr. Ouyang Siwei, which was strange in itself.
There are so many celebrities in the capital, even if Zhu Heng doesn't look down on those old scholars, the ready-made cousin of the Qian family is also the same as Ouyang Si who entered Beijing to take the exam, and he is his own relative, why didn't Zhu Heng worship Qian Hong as a teacher but worshiped an outsider who couldn't beat with eight poles?
You must know that this time Qian Hong also won the second class with the Jinshi, and after the assessment, he was named Shu Jishi, and his knowledge will definitely not be bad.
Not to mention, the Qian family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and there have been generations of literati, and what is Ouyang Si's background, how can he be better than Qian Hong?
Ouyang Ruoying, the household servant, didn't like to hear it again.
In theory, Ouyang Si is his fellow countryman and his own family, he should avoid suspicion, the problem is that once Ouyang Si's evidence of cheating is confirmed, even his face will be dull.
What's more, the other party is a hero based on his origin, he absolutely does not approve, he himself is the best example, he is also from a rural area, although he is not a poor family, but he is by no means a big family, just a small landlord with a slightly more solid family.
