When Zeng Rong entered the study, Imperial Physician Zeng had already left, and he saw Zhu Xu and Zhu Heng, the father and son, frowning coldly.

Obviously, the two did not get along.

As for what was discussed, Zeng Rong didn't know, but seeing this scene, she realized one thing, her perception of the emperor seemed to be one-sided, in the matter of Zhu Heng, the emperor was cold-blooded and cruel enough, he was definitely a derelict father, but he had to fight with her own father.

Zeng Rong was confused for a moment, what she couldn't figure out was why the emperor would be so tolerant of her, an outsider, but so cold-blooded to his own son?

Seeing Zeng Rong standing in the middle of the room without moving, his eyes were obviously empty although he was looking at him, Zhu Xu guessed that this girl must have been distracted again, most likely thinking that he had bullied this kid again.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu tried to be as gentle as possible and asked her if she had thought about what to say.

"Back to the emperor, there is something that the lower officials can't figure out." Zeng Rong blurted out without thinking, but as soon as the words came out, she regretted it again.

"Exactly." Zhu Xu spit out a word and glanced at Chang Dezi standing at the door.

Chang Dezi retreated to the door, drove away the people in the main hall, and guarded the door of the main hall by himself.

"Back to the emperor, what the lower officials can't figure out is that in the eyes of the lower officials, the emperor is a good person, tolerant, generous, and kind, although occasionally a little... Speaking of this, Zeng Rong paused, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't find the right word for a while.

Zhu Xu thought that she was weak-hearted, picked up the teacup, and said disappreciatively: "Say it, I don't blame you, the entire harem, you dare to accuse me." ”

"Back to the emperor, in short, in the lower officials, the emperor is definitely a good person, that is, he is a little cunning, he doesn't ask directly if he wants to know something, he wants to bully others, force the lower officials to confess, and make the lower officials tremble, I don't know what is wrong." Zeng Rong gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart.

How do you know that Zhu Xu was so angry that he blew his beard, "Okay, very good, cunning, bullying others, what else to say, I have to bully you today, otherwise, you still have the emperor in your eyes?" ”

After speaking, Zhu Xu saw that Zeng Rong was still standing, and shouted again: "Kneel." ”

"Qi Qi father, Ah Rong's knees can't kneel for a long time, it's the son who is wrong, not her, the father punished him for kneeling, and the son took it for her." Zhu Heng hurriedly pleaded.

"Second Highness, it doesn't matter, the emperor is tolerant enough, it is the lower officials' mistakes first, the lower officials always put themselves in the wrong position, thinking that they are not slaves, thinking that the emperor is not the emperor. For more than a year, Xia Guan is really grateful to the emperor, and he has made up for the lack of fatherly love for Xia Guan for many years. Really, Xiaguan's mother died early, and his father married his stepmother soon, and Xiaguan had to take care of housework and pull his younger brothers and sisters at a young age. Therefore, over the years, the lower officials didn't know what it was like to have their parents' love, until the lower officials met the emperor, although the emperor reprimanded the lower officials, but the lower officials knew that the emperor had never really been angry with the lower officials, he was teaching the lower officials to do things, and he was guiding the lower officials. ”

Zhu Xu was a little moved when he said this, snorted lightly, Zeng Rong smiled, and said: "Actually, it's more than that, the emperor knows that the lower officials are congenitally deficient and the day after tomorrow also loses money, and always finds various reasons to give vegetables to the lower officials to make up for their bodies; When the lower official is sick, the emperor will order someone to announce the imperial doctor to the lower official; The lower officials were bullied, and the emperor would also find them back for the lower officials, and the lower officials remembered these. ”

"Let's get down to business." Zhu Xu was uncomfortable when he heard this, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Heng, for fear of seeing a pair of hateful eyes.

Over the years, he owed this child so much.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zeng Rong turned to Zhu Heng, "Second Highness, in fact, the emperor loves the house and Wu to the lower officials like this. He knew how much gossip would be caused by a trip to Cining Palace, and it would even affect the reputation of the royal family, but he still chose to succeed, just because you need Xiaguan, and because Xiaguan can help you, not only acupuncture, but also the emperor's way of life. By following the emperor, the lower officials can learn more about the emperor's way of life, and at the same time, they can also expand their horizons and patterns, which are also what His Royal Highness lacks. ”

Zhu Xu saw that Zeng Rong only mentioned the way of life, vision and pattern, and did not mention the changes in the court and the operation of the government, so he nodded secretly, this girl is really an understanding person, and she can be taught.

"What do you mean? What do you want to tell me? Zhu Heng suddenly felt that Zeng Rong at this moment was very strange and very erratic, obviously close in front of him, but he was too far away to grasp.

"Second Highness, I want to tell you, look ahead, you have come out of the mud of the past, don't dwell on it anymore, let's look forward together." Zeng Rong said.

Seeing that Zhu Heng's eyes showed horror and uneasiness again, Zeng Rong crawled to his side and took the initiative to hold his hand for the first time, she wanted to tell him that she was there, she had not changed, not retreating, not compromise, but being honest.

"Look, look, Ah Rong understands a lot better than you, when did I say that I couldn't fulfill you? Even Ah Rong can see my good intentions, you are good, this vision is slightly stronger than the eyes of a mouse. Zhu Xu also praised Zeng Rong in person for the first time.

The main thing is that Zeng Rong said all the things he wanted to say but couldn't pronounce in his mouth, the fact is that he has tried his best to make up for Zhu Heng for more than a year, he thought that Zhu Heng could perceive it, and he didn't ask the child to be grateful, but only asked the child to let go of his suspicions and accept his compensation.

But the father and son had a disagreement again, and Zhu Heng counted the previous account again, the reason was that Zhu Heng wanted to take Zeng Rong away and stay with him as the aunt in charge, and it happened that Chuhua Palace was also short of people.

Zhu Xu didn't agree, saying that it was useful for him to keep Zeng Rong, and it was also for Zhu Heng's good, but Zhu Heng didn't listen to it at all.

As a father and an emperor, there are some things that Zhu Xu really can't say, even if he thinks that he is wrong, he must not admit it in his mouth.

In this way, it became the horizontal eyebrows that Zeng Rong saw when he entered the door.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness is not a rat, he also pretends to be the emperor in his heart, but occasionally when he is in turmoil, the last time the lower official mentioned to him the resistance to the tax reform, he immediately expressed his willingness to help you, so he had a correspondence with the Qian family and donated 200,000 taels of silver." Zeng Rong said good things for Zhu Heng.

Although Zhu Xu also agreed with this passage, he was unwilling to admit defeat, or he was quite unhappy when he saw Zeng Rong going around like a wall grass, this girl probably forgot whose territory this was!

But then again, he has been able to coexist with Zhu Hengping for more than a year, thanks to Zeng Rong maneuvering in the middle.

It's just that it's good to know what these two people are doing, and there is no need to force the two of them to admit it, the most important thing at the moment is how to return this girl's innocence, and put the rest aside for the time being.
