When she returned to her residence in the Inner Third Institute, she saw that Zheng Jiao's house was still lit, and Zeng Rong knocked on her door.

From Li Ruolan's copywriting, Zeng Rong saw one thing, during her visit to Yaohua Palace, the emperor announced the imperial doctor, and Zheng Jiao of the Pharmacopoeia Bureau went.

According to Li Ruolan, after the imperial doctor came out, Zheng Jiao stayed in the upper study for more than a quarter of an hour, and she didn't hear what was said.

"I guessed you'd come looking for me, and I was looking for you, what's going on?" Zheng Jiao opened the door and saw that Zeng Rong was the only one, so she pulled her in and asked.

Zheng Jiao should have come out of the quilt, wearing only a set of pink obscene clothes, wide-legged obscene pants of the same color, a long red thin cotton robe on the outside, her hair was scattered, her lips were red without dotting, her eyebrows were not described, her face was not powdered, her autumn pupils were cut and cut, she was like water, she was as beautiful as Qing, and she was moving.

Zeng Rong was stunned for a while.

"Why are you looking at me stupid?" Zheng Jiao shook her hand in front of Zeng Rong.

"No, people say it's good to see beauties in the moonlight, but I'm appreciating beauties in the candlelight, and it's really a little more mysterious and graceful than in the daytime." Zeng Rong said while pushing her on the kang, it was a little cold at night this season.

"What words? Are you saying I don't look good in the daytime? Zheng Jiao turned around and glared at Zeng Rong, and there was a great tendency for Zeng Rong to pounce on him if he was not satisfied with the answer.

"Calm, Yazheng, Sister Zheng, I mean that with your appearance and talent, you actually lost the election, and those people are so blind." Zeng Rong smiled flatteringly.

"Virtue, no wonder people say that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, I follow you and learn to splash skin." Zheng Jiao glanced at Zeng Rong, got on the kang and entered the bed, and patted the position next to him and asked Zeng Rong to sit over.

The two of them talked about business, the emperor was fine today, only said that he was tired, and ordered the imperial doctor Zeng to help him with acupuncture and massage for a while, and then did leave her, asked her hometown, asked her age, asked her talent, what she learned, what books she had read, etc.

"I told him that I was learning to play the piano and Go with you, but I didn't expect him to find you so soon." Zeng Rong replied, she didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, could it be that he was really interested in Zheng Jiao?

It doesn't make sense, Zheng Jiao has been serving him for several months, and the emperor definitely spends a lot more time with her than Zeng Rong, it doesn't make sense that he didn't like it, but now he has changed his mind because of Zeng Rong's two sentences.

"I guess there must be a reason, when did he look at me?" Zheng Jiao said that it was not lost to be fake.

"Well, the process is not important, the result is important." Zeng Rong pushed her and said.

"What process and what result? How old are you, what nonsense? I'm also planning to leave the palace and return to my hometown in a few years. Zheng Jiao was shy.

She will never admit that she has no thoughts about the emperor.

"Yes, yes, I said nonsense, but I didn't say anything, I just told the emperor that I was learning Yaoqin and Go with you, saying that I envy your elegance when you play the piano and chess, and the emperor didn't say anything else." Zeng Rong knew that the girl was thin-skinned, so he hurriedly took back his words.

After speaking, Zeng Rong suddenly thought of the imperial concubine, and said: "Remember, you must not tell Aunt Cui about this, to be exact, don't say it to anyone, whether it is me learning the piano with you or I recommend you to the emperor, don't say a word to outsiders." ”

She was afraid that it would reach the ears of the imperial concubine, Zheng Jiao couldn't stay in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau anymore, and she was still waiting for Zheng Jiao to help her find Zhu Heng's medical case. Qishu.com

Besides, if this matter is revealed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zheng Jiao to see the emperor in the future, Zeng Rong analyzed the benefits and disadvantages to Zheng Jiao, but she did not mention the imperial concubine, only said that the harem women are jealous, and it is difficult for a serious concubine to come out, let alone a small female official.

"Don't worry, I've already experienced it." Zheng Jiao laughed at herself.

Seeing this, Zeng Rong guessed that something unpleasant must have happened when she ran for election, most likely because someone secretly replaced her with Chen Cang.

Zeng Rong was not interested in this and did not ask any further.

Three days later, when Zeng Rong was resting, the emperor called Zheng Jiao again, this time, the emperor left Zheng Jiao's hand to talk about a game, Zheng Jiao listened to Zeng Rong's and gave his best, although he still lost half a son in the end, but the emperor won this game not easily, and there was a hearty feeling of meeting the opponent in chess.

Since then, if the emperor is not busy in the afternoon, he will occasionally ask Zheng Jiao to go over to play chess with him, and sometimes talk about calligraphy and painting, but there is one point, most of them will pick Zeng Rong's absence.

After the Winter Clothes Festival, the weather quickly turned cold, and the cotton jacket and cotton pants were also on the body, Zeng Rong was always worried that he would catch a cold when he did acupuncture for Zhu Heng again, so the acupuncture place was replaced by the kang, and the queen mother knew that he was afraid of the cold, so she ordered someone to burn the big kang for him early.

Because October 17 is Zhu Heng's seventeenth birthday, Zeng Rong began to catch up with a round ornament after the Double Ninth Festival, the picture is four rabbits playing in the bamboo forest, originally she wanted to embroider the bamboo bear, but thinking that her bamboo bear painting was seen by the emperor last time, if the emperor saw the bamboo bear embroidery, he would definitely be able to guess that she sent it at a glance.

After the things were embroidered, Zeng Rong entrusted the masters of the manufacturing department to make a rosewood tray, and after making it, Zeng Rong packed it on a cardboard box, and tied a bow with a red silk on the outside of the carton.

Coincidentally, on the 17th, Zeng Rong was on the morning shift, and after getting off duty, she went back to the three residences first, and took things to Cining Palace, this point should be no one, if someone celebrates his birthday, it should also be before breakfast, but the emperor didn't go, Zeng Rong didn't know if he forgot, didn't dare to remind him.

Sure enough, Zeng Rong was silent when he entered Cining Palace, and when he saw Zeng Rong, the palace maid at the door pointed to the east room where the Queen Mother was a daily visitor, Zeng Rong thought that the Queen Mother was on a lunch break, and did not go to see her, and went directly into the backyard.

Unexpectedly, when she entered the house with the box excitedly, a woman in green suddenly appeared in the room.

Because the light in the hall was a little dim, Zeng Rong recognized it for a while before he recognized the other party as Zhen Qing, who was selected in the same batch of female officials as Zeng Rong, but she entered Cining Palace and Zeng Rongjin's inner chamberlain.

I heard that the Queen Mother intended to put Zhen Qing next to Zhu Heng, but Zhu Heng didn't agree, what happened when she appeared here this time?

Zhen Qing was not surprised to see Zeng Rong, and smiled, "Second Highness is not here. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Luzi came out, saw that it was Zeng Rong, and hurriedly told her that it was Zhu Heng in the Queen Mother's house.

"In the Queen Mother's house?" Zeng Rong suddenly had a bad premonition.

It turned out that the palace maid who showed her the way just now did not say that the Queen Mother was taking a lunch break, but wanted to tell her that Zhu Heng was in the Queen Mother's room, thinking of Zhen Qing's appearance, Zeng Rong guessed that Zhu Hengzhun was listening to the training.

Whether it is acupuncture treatment or decoction treatment, it is carried out in secret, and if an outsider is allowed to come in at this time, who knows what her attributes are?

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Heng to accept her.
