Chapter 325: Admitting Mistakes
Zeng Rong saw Zhu Heng sneering again, knowing that he must have been deeply injured this time, and the father-son relationship that was easily repaired was only afraid that it would be in jeopardy again.
"No, isn't it the first time that the Dragon Boat Festival has mentioned the reduction of taxes?" Zeng Rong suddenly remembered something and asked.
"How is it possible, it must have been discussed by the court first before it reached the ears of the students of Guozijian. Also, Uncle Qin also told me that during the war with the Tatars in those years, he ordered people to raise millions of taels worth of food, clothing and silver taels from the Qian family, but he has treated my mother and me like this all these years. Zhu Heng's hands clenched, and then his whole body trembled.
"Okay, don't think about this, it's all over, you should think about the people of the Great Zhou, this country is not only your father's, but also the people of the Great Zhou." Zeng Rong squatted in front of Zhu Heng and took the initiative to break his palm.
"But he, but he didn't leak any wind for me, he hid me to death, I don't know anything, my uncle and they, they still think I can, I can sit on..." Zhu Heng covered his face with both hands, and tears gushed out from between his fingers.
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Zeng Rong understood, and hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the back of his hand, and at the same time wanted him to sober up, some words must not be spoken.
"Ah Heng, look ahead, I believe that planting good causes will definitely bring good results, and your uncle's good deeds will definitely bless you, you believe me." Zeng Rong said as she put the silk handkerchief into his palm, and then she put away the letter.
After Zhu Heng's mood stabilized a little, Zeng Rong pushed him to the front of the Luohan collapse, and slowly moved him to the Luohan couch with his arms.
It's just that when Zeng Rong reached out to help Zhu Heng take off his outer pants and middle pants, Zhu Heng grabbed her hand, "You... ”
He hoped that he had passed this level because of love and liking, not because of pity and impulsiveness.
"I've figured it out." Zeng Rong nodded, and at the same time twisted his head slightly, no matter what, the other party was also a foreign man to her, and it was normal for her to be shy and blush.
Seeing that Zhu Heng didn't believe it, Zeng Rong took out his silver needle, "Actually, I didn't think about it before, it's because my skills are not proficient." ”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Heng hurriedly let go of her hand and wanted to lift her skirt, but as soon as his hand touched her skirt, he realized that something was wrong, and retracted his hand again, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you, your legs should be full of needle eyes like your hands, right?" ”
"No, I'm also the one who has worshiped the master twice." Zeng Rong would not admit it, let alone let him see it.
Zhu Heng didn't say anything about this, but looked at her deeply, let go of his hand, and turned his body back.
Zeng Rong withdrew his outer pants and middle pants, and first pricked six stitches in his two thighs, only one hip bone point had a faint sense ability, and the rest of the acupuncture points were still silent.
Because there are more acupuncture points this time, when Zeng Rong returned to Qianning Palace, it was almost dark, the emperor was sitting on the circle chair to review the chapters, Li Ruolan was sorting out the copywriting in the hall outside, Zeng Rong was afraid of alarming the people inside, so he was just about to walk to Li Ruolan's side lightly, and when he asked if anything had happened in this hour, there was a cough inside.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Dezi walked out and scolded Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong had to honestly withdraw his legs, entered the outer study, and saw that the emperor didn't even raise his eyelids, Zeng Rong had to kneel, "Your Majesty, the lower official Zeng Rong admitted his mistake." ”
"Wrong? What's wrong with you? Zhu Xu's gaze still fell on the music in front of him.
"You shouldn't be untrustworthy, but this matter is really not bad for the lower officials, the lower officials saw that the imperial concubine had not moved these days, and really thought that she was not in a hurry, and besides, the old man of the queen mother is an elder, so naturally the elder is here first." Zeng Rong argued.
"Chang Dezi, go outside and find a few tiles." Zhu Xu commanded.
"Huh? Your Majesty, don't you want your subordinates to kneel on the tiles? The lower official's leg should be abolished, if the lower official's leg is abolished, how can the lower official serve the emperor? Zeng Rong squeezed his eyes hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears.
It's a pity that the tears didn't squeeze out, but let the emperor see her intentions, and directly smashed the music in his hand at her, Zeng Rong instinctively dodged, and then crawled to pick up the music and got up to send it over.
"Kneel, did I get you up?"
When Zeng Rong heard this, he had to kneel down again, "The emperor is angry, if you have something to say, if you think that the lower officials have done something wrong, you can say it well, and the lower officials must change, just don't be angry with the emperor." ”
"I don't have the leisure to train a liar who is full of lies, three-legged toads are hard to find, two-legged people are there, how many can I find available?"
"Your Majesty, have you ever seen a real toad? Do you know how many legs a toad has? Zeng Rong deliberately diverted the topic.
"Chang Dezi, where are the tiles I asked you to find?" Zhu Xu saw that Chang Dezi didn't move, so he glanced at him.
Chang Dezi bowed down and took the two little eunuchs in the house out.
"Your Majesty, the lower official is not full of lies, but he has no choice but to tell a white little lie, and the lower official is also doing this for the sake of the reputation of the Third Highness." Zeng Rong muttered.
Zhu Xu didn't hear it clearly, but when he heard the words "reputation of the Third Highness", he raised his eyes to look at Zeng Rong and waited for Zeng Rong's explanation.
"Back to the emperor, before the queen mother's birthday, the lower official received an errand to embroider a birthday character for the queen mother, asking for sixty different pen styles of longevity characters, but the lower official couldn't write it, so he had to ask Aunt Qin for help."
Zeng Rong gave a detailed statement of how he found Qin Chuxue to ask for longevity, how he embroidered the font on his regular clothes, and how he was recognized.
"At that time, Xia Guan really didn't know that it was the font of His Second Highness, but he felt that this font was much better than Xia Guan's, how did he know that there were still these inside information? Fortunately, the Queen Mother covered up the past for her subordinates. Back to the emperor, the scriptures brought by His Royal Highness were also copied by himself, and the lower officials were worried that they would repeat the old mistakes, so they had to refuse the Third Highness, and asked the emperor to learn from it. ”
"Isn't it just a picture?" Zhu Xu said that he didn't understand, and he didn't say that he wanted to give it to Zeng Rong, it was just a reference item.
"Back to the emperor, the lower officials also questioned Aunt Qin like this at that time, and Aunt Qin also said this, she said that it was the regular dress of the Queen Mother's 60th birthday, if the Queen Mother knew that it was the font of the Second Highness, she would be very pleased, so she went to find the Second Highness. But at that time, some people did talk about this, thinking that it was because the lower official and the second highness had a personal relationship before they got the second highness's banner. Zeng Rong said angrily.
Zhu Xu pondered for a while, then raised his hand and motioned for Zeng Rong to stand up.
