Zeng Rong's question was blurted out without thinking, which not only frightened herself, but also shocked Zhu Heng, and for a while, both of them were silent.

Zeng Rong regretted that he spoke recklessly, for fear that the other party would be embarrassed, and a fool also knew, how could he get used to it and not care?

Zhu Heng was a little excited, he knew that he was not wrong, this girl really felt sorry for him and understood him, but he couldn't protect her or help her, and a deep sense of powerlessness defeated him again.

"Uh, Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, has he?" Zeng Rongxian broke the silence.

She saw the dishes on the high table and the bowl of rice that no one had touched, and remembered her intention.

"It's hot, I don't have much appetite. By the way, why do you have time to come over today? Aren't you on an errand with the inner warden? Zhu Heng diverted the conversation.

Zeng Rong would not believe such a clumsy lie, it was not yet April at this time, and he still needed to wear a thin cotton jacket or thick jacket, how could he enter the bitter summer?

"The emperor ordered me to reply to the queen mother, and by the way, I sent two dishes back to the queen mother, and the queen mother said that you learned that the emperor announced the imperial doctor, worried about the emperor's condition, and was depressed, so he specially sent me to solve it for you." Zeng Rong stared at Zhu Heng's face after speaking.

Sure enough, Zhu Heng was stunned at first, and then understood the queen mother's intentions, his face was slightly red, he was embarrassed to look at Zeng Rong, and turned his head to the side, "Oh, how is my father's illness?" ”

"Back to the Second Highness, I was just stuck by the fish bone, and the fish bone was pulled out, and it would be fine." After speaking, Zeng Rong remembered the food box he was carrying, and said: "The emperor sent a steamed anchovy to the queen mother, and the queen mother ordered me to bring it, Your Royal Highness loves to eat it?" ”

"Steamed anchovies?" Zhu Heng shook his head, "There are many anchovy bones, I was also stuck by fish bones when I was a child, and I don't often eat fish." ”

"It's because there are many thorns that it tastes good." As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Rong suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Obviously, the emperor himself was just stuck by a fish bone, and he wanted to send a thorny anchovy to the queen mother, and the queen mother asked her to send it to Zhu Heng, didn't the queen mother know her grandson's preferences?

After hesitating for a moment, for fear of follow-up trouble, Zeng Rong planned to think of a way to call Amei in to help him pick fish bones.

So, she walked to Gao Ji with the food box, touched it with her hand, and the six dishes were cold, so she put down the food box, walked to the door, called the two eunuchs over, and ordered them to take the six dishes out and heat them, and then serve a bowl of hot rice.

After the two eunuchs went out with the dishes, Zhu Heng looked at Zeng Rong and said, "Actually, I don't have to be so troublesome, and I can't eat much." ”

"Don't bother, you're the second prince, can this little thing be called trouble?" Zeng Rong said as he lowered his head and brought out the two dishes in the food box, "Are you hungry?" Eat something else to make up for it first? ”

"Not hungry." Zhu Heng shook his head.

"Second Highness, this anchovy has a lot of bones, why don't you call Sister Amei in to help you pick the thorns? Also, the fish has to be eaten while it is hot, and it will be fishy when it is cold. Zeng Rong said.

"No, I'll do it myself." Zhu Heng replied, his tone was light, and the person also faded.

Zeng Rong realized that he was anxious, and he didn't dare to ask the reason, so he had to say: "But didn't you say that you rarely eat fish?" ”

This time, Zhu Heng didn't answer her.

Zeng Rong was also silent again.

It's not that they don't want to say it, but they can't ask what they want to ask, and the difference in status makes them have too many taboos between them, and the more they say, the more wrong they are.

After thinking about it, Zeng Rong found a pair of chopsticks and a clean small saucer, and began to pick fish bones by himself.

There's no way, you can't let him eat like this, in case he really gets stuck by the fish bone, she will be in trouble in the end.

Zhu Heng saw Zeng Rong's movements, and pushed the wheelchair over, "Don't be so troublesome, I can spit out fish bones by myself." ”

"Don't bother, it's only troublesome if you get stuck, yesterday the emperor suffered a lot of sins because of this fish bone, and he had to take two days of decoction." Zeng Rong said while picking the fish bones, without looking up.

Seeing this, Zhu Heng also lowered his eyes, looked at the small plate of fish that had been picked, and asked, "What are you doing in the inner prison?" Isn't it in the Catering Bureau? ”

"Back to the Second Highness, I'm in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau." Zeng Rong glanced up at him, a little confused by him.

Could it be that he didn't lock himself up because she was punished?

If he really cared about her, how could he not know where she had been assigned after four days?

"Isn't it what the people in the catering bureau should do to run errands and deliver food?"

Zeng Rong realized that it was not that he didn't care, but that he cared too much.

It's a pity that she can't afford it.

After thinking about it, she simply dared to ask: "What mistake did Sister Amei make, and why did the Queen Mother punish her?" ”

Zhu Heng turned his head over, looked through the window, and looked at Amei's figure standing in the courtyard, "Actually, it's nothing, it's that I don't like this place anymore, I want to go back to Chuhua Palace to live, and the Queen Mother is unhappy." ”

"That's it?" Zeng Rong was a little unconvinced.

Zhu Heng wants to move back to Chuhua Palace, but there is no reason to punish Amei because of this, right? Amein can dominate Zhu Heng's thoughts?

"It's a little bit angry. As for you, you're okay with the inner warden, have you ever been punished? Zhu Heng subconsciously glanced at Zeng Rong's knees.

In fact, since Zeng Rong came in, he has noticed Zeng Rong's walking posture, which is no different from a normal person, but he still can't let go in his heart.

"Fortunately, it's easier than in the embroidery workshop, and I was punished once, and the Queen Mother taught me yesterday, saying that as a subordinate, I should share the worries of the master, let me remember this lesson."

"You came here yesterday, and your father sent you here today?" Zhu Heng felt that something was not right.

What is my father doing, a pharmacopoeia bureau, frequently running to Cining Palace, is it necessary?

"Yesterday, the Queen Mother learned that the emperor announced the imperial doctor, and sent someone to ask, it happened that I was from the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, responsible for recording medical records, and the emperor sent me here, and today the emperor has returned to normal, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be worried, so I sent me here again, and by the way, let me send two dishes to the Queen Mother." Zeng Rong explained.

This reason seems to be in the past, Zhu Heng did not continue the topic, but asked Zeng Rong what the specific responsibilities of the Pharmacopoeia Bureau were, in his impression, recording medical records should be the errand of the imperial doctor, why did a pharmacopoeia bureau pop up.

In fact, because he has been self-contained for many years, he is not very clear about many affairs in the palace, and he has no interest in caring and inquiring.

He is not stupid, from the content of the lectures given to him by Mr. over the years, he only involves piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and he understands that some people don't want him to know too much.

He is a person who doesn't want to make trouble for himself or others, so he simply ignores it and simply closes himself off.

When Zeng Rongzheng explained to Zhu Heng the responsibilities of the Imperial Medical Department and the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, two eunuchs came in with two food boxes, and after bringing out the dishes, the two eunuchs took the initiative to leave.
