In the face of the increasingly strict scrutiny of Queen Wang, Zeng Rong was a little weak-hearted, and any senior embroiderer should be able to see that her embroidery skills are by no means a year's foundation.

But Zeng Rong can't do this thing, no matter what she says, she can't justify herself, saying that she has been learning embroidery since she was a child, and she can expose her lies by asking someone casually, saying that she only studied for one year, so it is well documented, and if she is not good, she will be thick-skinned, saying that she is more talented, it is better than being exposed by others, right?

Sure enough, after Empress Wang looked at Zeng Rong for a moment, she lightly opened her lips and asked, "So, you are extremely talented?" ”

"Go back to my mother, I don't dare, but diligence can make up for it."

"Read?"

"Back to Niangniang, skimmed a few books."

"Oh, how did Hongu hear that you were from the countryside in a trance?"

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid lived in the academy for a while, and followed Mr. to recognize some words."

Queen Wang watched Zeng Rong fall silent again, obviously, Zeng Rong's answer was unexpected by her, it seems that she knows too little about this little palace maid, or rather, she is a little underestimated.

How can someone who can be sent into the palace by the Xu family, who can make his mother frustrated, who can be hated by Chu Chu, and who can be remembered by that woman, how can there be no merit?

And the merit of this little palace maid must be her cleverness, judging from the fact that she can reach the level of others for ten or eight years when she learns embroidery for one year, I am afraid that she can also top others to officially enter the academy for ten or eight years, and ordinary women from families are nothing more than that.

It's no wonder that so many people like and remember, what are you afraid of from a low background, it's easy to control from a low background, how many real family girls will be willing to be released and used as chess pieces?

"What books did you read?"

"Back to the queen, at the beginning it was some ordinary enlightenment readings, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", etc., and later entered Beijing, found a job in the embroidery workshop, and wanted to earn more silver, the slave maid learned to draw patterns by herself, and read some poetry books." Zeng Rong said thoughtfully.

"Oh, and you can draw?"

"Back to the queen, there will only be a little graffiti."

"Since you have this ability, wouldn't it be unyielding to stay in the Shanggong Bureau? Do you have any intention of changing jobs? ”

"Back to the queen, but I can only embroider." Zeng Rong's eyes widened, pretending not to understand the other party's words.

Queen Wang tugged at the corners of her mouth, didn't explain, didn't look at her, but looked down at the portrait on the kang table, this is the portrait of a woman who is suitable to marry an official above the fifth grade in the capital just sent, and it is time to add some newcomers to the palace.

This time, taking the opportunity of the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, the Queen Mother invited the princes, county kings and the descendants of the marriageable royal families scattered in various fiefdoms to Beijing, and most of the sons who stayed behind in the capital have also reached the marriageable age.

Queen Wang also wanted to take this opportunity to add a few newcomers to the palace, and they all said that men like the new and hate the old, so she didn't believe that if a few immortals were in front of her, could the emperor still not be moved?

It's just that this person is really difficult to choose, not only to be beautiful, but also to be smart and clever, to be able to figure out the emperor's thoughts, and to be able to think with her, and to be able to dodge the woman's open guns and arrows, which is a bit difficult.

None of those big families are thinking about their own interests, she doesn't want to bring down that woman and then make herself a fierce rival and leave a trouble, so she wants to find one from low-ranking officials or distant relatives of the Konzhi clan.

Coincidentally, that day, her mother took Chu Chu into the palace, and when she talked about Zeng Rong, she didn't take it to heart at first, she was just an embroidery girl, even if it was recommended by the Xu family, what could she do? She can't enter the inner palace, no matter how smart she is, she is blind.

As for Zeng Rong and her mother's little holiday, she didn't pay attention to it, she is the queen, the queen of the world, can she be like a little palace maid? If it is passed out, what will the queen mother think, what will the emperor think, that woman is worried that she can't catch her handle.

Even if she later knew that this woman named Zeng Rong was the woman who made regular clothes for her and embroidered Tilian for that woman, she didn't want to see Zeng Rong, because she knew that Zeng Rong was just a little embroiderer, and what she embroidered or not could only obey the arrangement of her aunt in charge.

So, she sent someone to the Shanggong Bureau to check, only to learn that Zeng Rong was not only close to Liu Chunmiao, but also close to Qin Chuxue.

Moreover, in order to win over Zeng Rong, Liu Chunmiao actually gave her a fox fur cloak, and it is said that the woman also sent a pair of gold bracelets to Zeng Rong through Liu Chunmiao.

That's kind of interesting.

Originally, she wanted to see the excitement, but the palace magistrate beside her said that she was afraid that these two groups of people were interested in the Xu family behind Zeng Rong, since this was the case, why didn't they also intervene?

The Xu family, Xu Fushan, a scholar of the cabinet, an important minister in the court, the emperor's most trusted right-hand man, has much more say in the matter of establishing the prince than these women in the harem.

So, she ordered someone to call Zeng Rong over, wanting to see what this embroidery girl looked like, and there were so many people who were worried about it.

It's just that when she saw Zeng Rong at this moment, she was a little disappointed, she was too young, at this age, even if she was brought to her side, I was afraid that she would not be able to help her for the time being.

Another thing that she doesn't like is that Zeng Rong has a holiday with her mother's family, and the girls are small-minded, so it is not easy to turn the page, and if she is not even, others will use it to deal with her.

Instead of this, it is better to keep her by your side, use it if you can use it, and ruin her if you can't use it.

Thinking about it like this, she had the intention of tempting, who knew that this stinky girl actually pretended to be stupid with her, then pretended, she wanted to see who could calm down.

Zeng Rong really did not have the confidence of the queen, and after estimating the work of half a stick of incense, Zeng Rong took the initiative to speak: "Back to the queen, the slave maid does not think that staying in the embroidery workshop is Qu Cai, and it is the blessing and glory of the slave and maid to be able to make clothes for the queen mother and the queen. It's just that the slave maid has only been in the palace for three months, and it is the first time to enter the harem. ”

When Queen Wang heard Zeng Rong mention the Queen Mother, she also remembered something, it seemed that Zeng Rong's work at hand was the regular clothes of the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, so she couldn't move Zeng Rong for the time being.

It's just that she is not willing to be bought and used by Liu Chunmiao and Qin Chuxue, so she quickly put on a smiling face, "That's it, it's hard for you to have this filial piety, get up, this palace doesn't mean to embarrass you, this palace just appreciates your talent and doesn't want to bury it." ”

After speaking, she glanced at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid entered the inner room, and after a while, came out with a box.
