Knowing that Zeng Rong had no idea of returning to Cining Palace for the time being, and the emperor did not have a clear will to let her pass, Qin Chuxue was disappointed, but she didn't feel that it was a bad thing, at least, the emperor was willing to let Zeng Rong take care of Zhu Heng, which showed that the emperor began to have this son in his heart and would take the initiative to care about this son.

That's a step forward and a good sign.

Also, she always felt that Zeng Rong had just mentioned Zhu Heng's legs and that Imperial Doctor Lu, and he must have meant something, but Zeng Rong didn't have full confidence and evidence now, and some words couldn't be said, so she waited patiently.

While talking, Xiaocui came back, and the news she brought back was that the Queen Mother personally sent Zhu Heng to Kunning Palace, and I heard that the emperor, the queen, the imperial concubine, and other concubines also rushed over.

Presiding over this ritual was the master of Puji Temple, who was higher than the abbot master, and a total of forty-nine monks came, and the pomp was very large.

Qin Chuxue couldn't sit still when she heard it, the bigger the pomp, the more grand the opening ceremony, the grandeur also meant that it was cumbersome, and the cumbersome meant that it took longer, and it also meant that Zhu Heng would suffer more crimes.

Zeng Rong wanted to say goodbye, but seeing that Qin Chuxue was anxious again, he had to stay and have breakfast with her, and he was appeased.

Coming out of Qin Chuxue, Zeng Rong went to Liu Chunmiao's side again, Liu Chunmiao was inspecting the workshop, Zeng Rong learned that she taught the hollow circle edge needle method of the gold leaf thread to Hongling, Meiying and Xiuzhen, all three of whom entered the palace with Zeng Rong, are not very old, literate, and can read some simple poems and articles, and are the key people supported by Liu Chunmiao.

Zeng Rong chatted with everyone for a few words, and also checked the acupuncture of the three of them and pointed out the shortcomings of the other party, and then left with Liu Chunmiao.

"Tell me, why do you have time to see me today?" Liu Chunmiao took Zeng Rong's hand and asked, it could be seen that he was very happy.

"I'm going to Kunning Palace over there today, and I just happened to take an errand out." Zeng Rong said with a smile.

"Kunning Palace? You mean the first queen's ritual? "Liu Chunmiao has been busy preparing clothes and accessories for the Dragon Boat Festival for the palaces these days, and has dealt with the palaces a lot, so he knows a little about the affairs of the harem.

"Even my aunt knows about this, presumably the entire harem has spread all over it, I don't know what the rumors my aunt heard?" Zeng Rong wanted to know what outsiders were saying about the matter, and whether they were overwhelmingly supporting the queen.

Liu Chunmiao saw that Zeng Rong was still leaning over as before, so it was obvious that she didn't have anything to do with her, so she reached out and poked Zeng Rong's head, gritted her teeth and said: "Little smelly, you are so close to Qianning Palace, but you came to me to inquire about the news, let's say, what do you mean?" ”

"How many meanings can I have? I just want to hear what others say about this former queen, my aunt must not know, at the beginning, the second prince did not agree to do this ceremony, it was the queen mother who took him to Puji Temple to change his mind, and I went with me that day, and it was at the emperor's will to enlighten the queen mother. Zeng Rong knew that she was close to the imperial concubine, and some things would definitely not be hidden, so it was better to take the initiative to say it herself, and maybe she could get other effects.

Sure enough, Liu Chunmiao saw that Zeng Rong was so honest, it could be seen that she didn't treat her as an outsider, so she smiled and said, "How else can you evaluate it, the first queen has been dead for so many years, how many people still remember her?" Zuo just said that she couldn't let go of the second prince and wanted to stand up for the second prince. It's you, tell me, are you still adapting to being on duty over there these days, aren't you in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, how could the emperor order you to enlighten the Queen Mother? Also, what are your chances of meeting the emperor? Is the emperor good to you? ”

Liu Chunmiao asked several questions in one breath, and Zeng Rong picked some answers that could be said, which focused on the fact that she went to Yaohua Palace to pull out fish bones for the emperor on her first day on duty and was punished for kneeling. v5

"Auntie, I still haven't figured this out, why did the emperor choose me? I was really blinded at the time, and when I was hesitating whether to accept or refuse, the emperor lost his face, and I had to take the job hard, but I didn't get the credit in the end, but was punished to kneel for two hours, and even the imperial concubine couldn't intercede for me. ”

Zeng Rong also analyzed this matter afterwards, the emperor was probably impatient with the torture of fish bones at that time, and when he heard that Imperial Doctor Zeng said that he wanted to find someone with small hands, he couldn't wait, so he ordered Zeng Rong indiscriminately, but he knew that the crooked hit was right.

Liu Chunmiao had never heard of this, so when she learned that Zeng Rong had crossed the imperial physician to clip the fish bones out of the emperor's throat, her eyes widened, she pushed Zeng Rong away, and looked up and down.

"Auntie?" Zeng Rong didn't know what he meant.

"No, I have to take a good look, I have to get to know you again, you kid, what should I say to you? Luck against the sky, or courage against the sky, you dare to take this errand, a little bit of the pool, the head is going to land. Liu Chunmiao shook her head while thinking about it, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

If something really went wrong that day, she wouldn't be able to get rid of it, because Zeng Rong was recommended by her.

"Don't be so reckless in the future, your Aunt Liu and Aunt Qin's lives are in your hands." Liu Chunmiao gritted her teeth and poked her again, but she didn't use much force.

"Got it." Zeng Rong muttered.

"By the way, you haven't told me what happened when you went to Puji Temple that day, why did Your Royal Highness change your mind?"

"It is said that it was because of a signature, when I went out shopping with Sister Amei, I was not in front of it, but it can be seen that after talking to the abbot master, the queen mother is much more relaxed, and there is a smile on her face, although the second prince is not so obvious, but he is also much relieved."

Zeng Rong didn't want to continue this topic, so he took the initiative to talk about the imperial concubine, saying that the imperial concubine interceded for her that day, and later warned her that only when she became stronger could she not be trampled on by others.

How can I get stronger? There are more women in the palace who want to become stronger, but how many have really become stronger?

"Auntie, I'm only thirteen years old, what do you think I need to do to become stronger? First of all, I have nothing to think about the emperor, I just want to be good and bad, and I don't want to be punished. Zeng Rong leaned on Liu Chunmiao again.

"I should ask you this, you are content, you have only been here for a few days, up to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, down to me and your Aunt Qin, who doesn't speak for you and who doesn't protect you, I've been in this palace for almost 20 years, and I'm not as popular as you."

After all, Liu Chunmiao didn't believe that Zeng Rong didn't think about the emperor, otherwise, why didn't she go directly to Cining Palace instead of going to the inner chamberlain, to put it bluntly, didn't she just want to avoid Zhu Heng's waste?

It's just that she's still young, and there are some things that can't be rushed.

Taking a step back, even if Zeng Rong doesn't think about it, it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't have it, it doesn't mean that the imperial concubine doesn't have it, the imperial concubine is getting old and decrepit, and if you want to envelop the emperor, you have to find a few young and tame people like Zeng Rong.
