After touching a stick of incense, Zeng Rong walked out of Kunning Palace with a small box, stood outside the gate of Kunning Palace, looked at the three words above his head, and then looked at the small wooden box in his hand, Zeng Rong felt a chill.

She has escaped this level for the time being, but what about the future?

This time, the stop was obviously for the sake of the queen mother's regular clothes in Zeng Rong's hand, but what about three months later? The Queen Mother's birthday is over, what reason does she have to refuse the queen?

Also, if the imperial concubine knew that the queen had her mind on her, what would she do?

With this small box in his hand, Zeng Rong guessed that the queen should know that the imperial concubine rewarded her with gold bracelets, otherwise, she would not also give Zeng Rong a pair of gold bracelets, and her pair of gold bracelets was obviously thicker and more valuable than the imperial concubine's pair.

Obviously, this is to tell Zeng Rong clearly, don't think that she doesn't know the small actions behind her, let Zeng Rong weigh it himself!

Since the queen can put eyeliner next to the imperial concubine, most of the queen also has people from the imperial concubine, therefore, Zeng Rong has a hunch that he is afraid that the imperial concubine will find her soon, and then, what should she do?

Because most of the houses in the palace are similar, the difference is the plaque on the gate and the length of the courtyard wall, Zeng Rong entered the harem for the first time, and he didn't know the way, and he only looked down and thought about his heart, so it was easy for her to get lost.

Standing at a small intersection, Zeng Rong froze, squinted and looked up at the sky, and then looked down at his shadow, originally wanted to distinguish the direction according to his shadow, but forgot that it was almost noon at this time, so he had to beat his head in annoyance.

But she didn't dare to walk around, she looked around, and saw four guards passing under a wall not far away, and Zeng Rong hurriedly ran over.

Who knew that before Zeng Rong approached, the two immediately stopped her, "Stop, which palace are you from?" ”

"I'm sorry, two big brothers, can you ask, where is the embroidery workshop of the Shanggong Bureau?"

The leader looked at Zeng Rong and saw Zeng Rong dressed as a palace maid, but pointed out the direction to Zeng Rong.

It's a pity that Zeng Rong's sense of direction is very poor, and he asked again: "I'm sorry, can I bother you to be more detailed, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake again after a while, and I have to ask someone." ”

"Which palace are you from?"

"I'm sorry, I'm an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop, the first time I entered the harem, I just came out of Kunning Palace, and I got lost." Zeng Rong explained with a smiling face.

"Kunning Palace?" The guard, who was still in the lead, asked, "Where's the token?" ”

"What token?" Zeng Rong was asked, but soon remembered that the palace maid of the Shanggong Bureau had to hold the token of the aunt in charge when she entered the harem, but she was taken away by the palace maid next to the queen at that time, and Liu Chunmiao didn't give her any token at all.

"Without a token, the female workers of the Shanggong Bureau are not allowed to enter the harem, don't you understand this rule?" The other party asked.

"I'm sorry, it was the palace maid next to the queen who went to the Shanggong Bureau to summon me, and the aunt in charge didn't give me a token, but only let me follow." Zeng Rong explained.

"What's in the box you're holding?" Still the lead question.

"It's the queen's reward, this big brother, I'm the embroidery lady of the embroidery workshop, I'm really here to see...

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the door open, and a figure ran towards Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong stared at the figure with wide eyes, this is too coincidental, right?

"Ah Rong, it's me, it's me, you're stupid, aren't you?" Ah Mei ran to Zeng Rong and shook her hand.

"Sister Amei." Zeng Rong stepped forward and hugged her, tears erupted from her eyes, at this moment, she was indeed very excited and vulnerable.

But she also knew that this would not be the time to cry, so she wiped her tears and took a few steps back, "Come, let me see you, how are these days?" Do you have... ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's go, I'll take you in, this is the back garden of Cining Palace, it's beautiful inside, and there are a lot of plum blossoms. Ame interrupted her.

"Is this appropriate? In case you encounter ... Zeng Rong didn't want to go in.

The queen mother's back garden, in case she collides with the queen mother, how many heads does she have?

"It's okay, it was Your Royal Highness who heard a noise outside and ordered someone to come out to take a look, I heard your voice, and I was busy with this errand." Ah Mei pushed Zeng Rong to the door, and whispered to Zeng Rong: "Let's go, It's His Royal Highness who wants to see you, this is a rare opportunity, if we can ask for his consent, the two of us can be together again." ”

"He wants to see me? Why? Zeng Rong didn't want to go intuitively, although she wanted to enter Cining Palace, but entering Cining Palace and serving His Royal Highness were two different things.

"By the way, are you two highnesses sitting...

"Amei, Second Highness asked you to bring people into the pavilion on the rockery." A eunuch of about twenty years old came.

Zeng Rong couldn't ask the next words, so he had to follow Ah Mei and the eunuch brother into a very inconspicuous small door, if someone hadn't told her, she would never have imagined that it would be the back garden of Cining Palace, and after entering, there was only one path leading to the depths, and on both sides of the path was a clump of plum groves, some of which were in full bloom, most of them had begun to wither, and there were also a few rare buds.

"It's a good fragrance of plum blossoms, but it's a pity that I missed the best time to enjoy the plum blossoms." Zeng Rong took a deep breath and said.

"No, I came just when I came, especially the heavy snow at the root of the year, enjoying the plum blossoms in the snow, it was really beautiful, much better than the plum blossoms I embroidered." Amei also took a deep breath, squinted her eyes and smiled, but after laughing, there was a trace of bitterness on her face.

Zeng Rong freed up a hand to hold her hand, "Sister Amei, you... ”

"It's okay, let's go, I'll take you to see His Second Highness." Ah Mei put on a smiling face and led Zeng Rong to a rockery.

There is a pavilion on the rockery, and in the middle of the pavilion there is a set of stone tables and chairs, on which a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy wearing a big red cloak sits on the stone chair, and two guards stand next to the young man.

On the stone table is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but the pen has not yet been put down, the ink of the inkstone is polished, and the paperweight is pressed.

"Second Highness Qiqi, this is the good sister of the slave maid in the embroidery workshop before, Zeng Rong." Amee pulled Zeng Rong forward and said.

The other party's eyes looked at Zeng Rong, and when Zeng Rong was hesitating whether to kneel, the other party spoke, "Excuse me, the ground is too cold." ”

Zeng Rong heard that the other party's voice was so gentle, and there was a feeling like a spring breeze, and he suddenly had a good feeling, and hurriedly handed the box in his hand to Amei, and curtsied, "Thank you for your mercy, the slave maid entered the harem for the first time, and accidentally got lost, disturbing the Second Highness, and I hope that the Second Highness will forgive me." ”

"Oh, the first time you entered the palace?" The other party stared at Zeng Rong carefully.

Zeng Rong seemed suspicious when he heard this tone, and this voice seemed to be a little familiar, so he couldn't help but look up at the other party, could it be the boy that night?
