After Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng returned to the palace, the two separated, Zeng Rong went to Qianning Palace, one was to return Chang Dezi's token, and the other was to ask the next day's duty time.

Who knew that it was a coincidence that the emperor and Chang Dezi were not there when Zeng Rong entered the Qianning Palace, but he happened to meet Li Ruolan on duty, who was sorting out the documents for the afternoon, saying that the emperor had met with several cabinet members after the morning break, and he would go to the imperial garden to relax.

When Zeng Rong heard this, he guessed that the meeting in the afternoon might not be very smooth, but the emperor did not indicate that she would return to the Inner Court Bureau, so although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask more, didn't dare to ask for help, and didn't even dare to bother more, and chatted a little bit about her in the Huanyi Bureau, Zeng Rong left the side hall and sat on the threshold of the main hall while waiting for someone to talk and laugh with the little eunuch on duty.

After about half an hour, Zhu Xu strode in, when the twilight was getting deeper, Zhu Xu didn't notice that there was a person sitting on the threshold at first, it was Zeng Rong who recognized his figure and got up and ran down the steps to salute him, and he recognized Zeng Rong.

"Something?" Zhu Xu replied to Zeng Rong's two words, but his footsteps did not stop.

Zeng Rong had no choice but to follow him and said, "The lower officials have come to ask the emperor for what preparations need to be made when he is on duty tomorrow." ”

Zhu Xu paused when he heard this, stopped in front of the threshold, looked at Chang Dezi and asked, "Where is there a shortage of people recently?" ”

"This? The old slave heard that the Pharmacopoeia Bureau and the Inner Court Bureau were not short of people for the time being, so he also said that there was a shortage of people in charge of the Diet Bureau. Chang Dezi shook it for a moment and bowed back.

Reasoning, this errand is good, and it is easy, only need to serve the emperor for two meals, and the emperor has always liked Zeng Rong's meals, and he will also reward Zeng Rong with a few dishes after each meal.

When Chang Dezi was secretly complacent about his wit, Zhu Xu splashed him with a scoop of cold water, "It's not good, it's too cheap for her, and it can't achieve the effect of punishment and warning." ”

These words were too unexpected, Chang Dezi raised his head and glanced at the emperor, but he didn't speak again.

This was one of the few times in recent years that he had misunderstood the Holy Will.

"In this way, starting tomorrow, you will get up at the end of the day, and you will record the major events of the court every day in the apse." Zhu Xu pondered for a moment and said.

"Huh?" Zeng Rongwei was really taken aback.

There is a precedent for female officials to follow the previous dynasty, but the problem is that Zeng Rong became the first in this dynasty, which will definitely cause criticism from many parties.

This is one thing, and the second is that getting up at the end of the day is definitely a big test for her, especially in the winter.

Third, there are records of historians at every court meeting, and there is more than one, Zeng Rong's move is of little significance.

"Don't want to go?" Zhu Xu coldly threw three words.

"If you want to go, go back to the emperor, the lower officials can't ask for it, this is a good opportunity to train the lower officials, ordinary people can't ask for it, the lower officials are just too surprised to be stupid." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

This is not all praise, not to mention anything else, just this year's career as a female historian, her horizons and pattern have broadened a lot, and she is no longer limited to the ego, she will jump out of the trap of a harem woman and analyze the problem from the perspective of the big ego.

For example, she helped the emperor to anger Wang Bai before, helped Zhu Heng analyze the importance of tax reform and the role of the Qian family in it, and when Queen Wang was angry, she helped her deal with the aftermath regardless of her previous suspicions, and even included her persuading Zhu Heng to marry, and so on.

As soon as he thought of this, Zeng Rong faintly felt that it seemed that the emperor was deliberately cultivating her.

It is a leap from the Pharmacopoeia Bureau to the Inner Court Bureau to be a female historian, and it is a leap from an internal historian to an external historian, and this kind of opportunity is indeed not available to ordinary people.

As for the emperor's purpose of cultivating her, it was difficult for her not to think about Zhu Heng.

It's just that she didn't understand one thing, the emperor shouldn't know that Zhu Heng was receiving treatment in secret, with Zhu Heng's current conditions, there is no reason why the emperor would pick him, right?

A person who needs to be in a wheelchair for life and is not yet humane, how could the emperor want him to be the crown prince?

Or is there any agreement between the emperor and the Qian family?

When Zeng Rongzheng lowered his head and meditated, he saw that the emperor had stepped into the threshold, and when Zeng Rongzheng was hesitating whether he should follow up or retire, the emperor's question came from the top of his head, asking her why she left the palace today.

Zeng Rong introduced Ouyang Si's origin, saying that he was his life-saving benefactor, and he entered Beijing to prepare for next year's Spring Festival.

"Did you help him find someone?" Zhu Xu entered the outer study and sat at the desk.

Zeng Rong hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the teacup and poured him a cup of tea in front of him, and then said: "Xiaguan wants to help him introduce Master Xu, but Master Xu is not at home, but Mrs. Xu gave Xiaguan a post." She also knew that Ouyang Gongzi was the life-saving benefactor of Xia Guan, and she also admired Ouyang Gongzi when he was from a poor family, and he was able to win the title at a weak age. ”

"A poor family, only the age of the weak crown?" Zhu Xu was also slightly surprised.

Today he has seen Qian Yi's son Qian Hong, although Qian Hong is only in his early twenties, but Qian Hong is from a Jiangnan family, the family has a rich collection of books, and has been cultivated as the head of the family since he was a child.

Zeng Rong saw that the emperor was quite interested in Ouyang Si, so he told Ouyang Si's resume that Ouyang Si had to work in the academy for two years because his family was poor and could not afford to pay for it.

"Back to the emperor, he has not been idle in the past two years, teaching and educating people while self-taught, in the year when Xiaguan entered Beijing, he was admitted to Xiucai in one fell swoop, and became a student, Xiaguan did not expect that two years later, he won the promotion in one fell swoop." Zeng Rong said.

"Is there a match?"

Zeng Rong shook his head, "Back to the emperor, the lower officials don't know, they didn't get married two years ago." Seeing him today, Xia Guan was busy helping him find a place to live and catch the wind and wash the dust, so he didn't ask. ”

Zhu Xu stared at Zeng Rong for a while after hearing these words, Zeng Rong inadvertently raised his head and met the other party's gaze, hurriedly lowered his head again, thought for a while, and said: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness went out of the palace today to see Ouyang Gongzi, the two talked very happily, and His Royal Highness also borrowed a few reading notes from Ouyang Gongzi, saying that Ouyang Gongzi has a high understanding, novel insights, and practicality. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, he really didn't know that Zhu Heng was out of the palace again.

It seems that this son is really interested in this girl, and he chases so closely, for fear that he will be abducted.

But then again, this life-saving benefactor is so young and talented, Zhu Xu really doesn't believe that Zeng Rong didn't have any thoughts about him before, shouldn't this kind of life-saving grace be promised by himself?

Could it be that the other party didn't look down on this girl, and this girl followed Mrs. Xu into Beijing in a rage, or did she climb up Mrs. Xu just for the kid surnamed Ouyang?

That's not right, this girl is not small, and that kid is from an average background, why doesn't he look down on this girl?
