Chapter 364: Cover-up

Zhu Xu originally came out to warn Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng.

When he went to the second floor, standing on the terrace on the second floor, he happened to see the scene of Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng frolicking, thinking of Zhu Heng's firmness in refusing to marry in the morning, and Zhu Heng's weakness when he appeared in the afternoon.

That's too much, isn't it?

The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and it is at this age that these two people don't know how to avoid suspicion, and they don't think they cause him much trouble?

But when he stepped out of the Qin'an Hall and saw the smile on his son's face and the sparkle in his son's eyes that were brighter than fireworks, those accusatory words suddenly became speechless.

Who knew that when he wanted to send his anger to Zeng Rong, he was also facing her smiling face, and what's more, this girl actually had the audacity to reach out to him to ask for a red seal, and he actually didn't refuse her.

Hell, when did he get led by the nose by two kids?

But why was he moved by this girl again when he saw Zeng Rong give the red seal to Zhu Heng.

Also, although the words that this girl said casually seemed to be nonsense, there was always a simple truth in the nonsense, and it was easy to impress others.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu also gave birth to a bit of playfulness, and stretched out his hand to Zeng Rong and said: "Girl, come and don't be rude, I have given you a red envelope for the New Year, should you also give me something back?" I also want to suppress the evil, the bad ones will stay this year, and the good ones will be brought to next year. ”

Who knew that Zeng Rong heard this, and his eyes widened, "Isn't it?" Your Majesty, you are the Emperor, how can you ask the lower officials for a return gift? Since ancient times, I have only heard that the emperor gave a red seal to his subordinates, how can anyone give a red seal to the emperor? ”

Zeng Rong inexplicably remembered the words of his eldest brother, "Since ancient times, only the master has given the subordinate monthly money, how can there be a subordinate who gives the subordinate monthly money?" "I used it smoothly.

"Who prescribes it? I said that there is, and I am not allowed to set a precedent? Zhu Xu blew his beard and glared back at Zeng Rong.

"Okay, you are the emperor, you have the final say, Xiaguan Ming'er will send the things to the study early in the morning, and ensure that they are the best products to suppress evil spirits." Zeng Rong responded.

In the days when Laba was injured, she was lying on the kang and bored, thinking that the New Year was approaching, and there was nothing else to give back to the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Zhu Heng.

"What about me? What about my New Year's gift? Zhu Heng was not happy and asked.

"I'll send it tomorrow, too." Zeng Rong replied.

Zhu Heng still wanted to say something, suddenly, there was a loud "bang" on the side of the lake, and soon, a huge firework bloomed in the air, illuminating the air with a little stream, but unfortunately, the streamer is a streamer after all, with a beautiful falling arc, it instantly disappeared in the dark.

With this loud noise, the drum music in the Qin'an Hall stopped, and soon, a group of people stood on the terrace on the second floor, and the queen mother was surrounded in the middle.

Zeng Rong also knew that the fireworks were the signal, and the next thing was the real fireworks feast, one after another explosions sounded in the air, and the fireworks in the sky bloomed wantonly in the air, like one blooming flower after another, the entire imperial garden was illuminated, and at the same time, it also illuminated the faces looking up.

Seeing those black and oppressive figures not far away, Zeng Rong thought of this time last year, when he was originally running for fireworks, but he didn't think about it, but he picked up the second prince who fell in the snow.

The two who thought that the clouds and mud would never intersect again stood together to welcome the New Year after a year.

What kind of fate is this?

Zeng Rong looked at Zhu Heng, Zhu Heng happened to look back at her, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Laughing at what? It's silly, it's ugly. Zhu Xu turned his head with a disgusted expression.

This girl seems to have a kind of magic, and after getting along with her for a long time, she will be affected by her, no, he has also become stupid, his eyes are always on these two people, and he will make some unbelievable actions from time to time.

Just like Fang was in the main hall of Cining Palace, he didn't think much about it, just looked at Zhu Heng sitting in a wheelchair, thinking about the grievances that this child had suffered over the years, he couldn't help but walk over and pick him up.

A year ago, he would never have believed he would make such a move.

You don't need to ask to guess how much shock his move will cause and how much trouble it will bring to Zhu Heng.

But at that moment, he really didn't think much about it, just thinking that he was a father, and wanted to make up for the lack of care for his son over the years.

And at this moment, looking at the smiles of these two people, he couldn't say words of reproach, on the contrary, he stayed here specially in order to cover up for the two children.

But what are the consequences of this?

Even if he is an emperor, he can't protect whoever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants.

It's like Zeng Rong's background is a big flaw, no matter how bad Zhu Heng is, he can't marry Zeng Rong as a wife, and it is a great grace to be able to give her the title of concubine.

I don't know how long it took, the lively mid-air finally fell silent, Zhu Xu personally stepped forward and pushed Zhu Heng's wheelchair, "Go back and listen to the play, it's cold outside." ”

It's okay not to say it, but when he said this, Zeng Rong also felt cold, jumped a few times, and said with a smile: "It's cold, go back to the emperor and the second highness, and the lower officials will go in first." ”

It's not that she doesn't understand etiquette, but she thinks that the emperor must have something to say to Zhu Heng when he pushed the wheelchair himself, maybe it has something to do with her, so she can only avoid it.

Who knew that Zeng Rong had just lifted the curtain and entered the hall, and when she was about to walk to the corner, the Queen Mother called her to stop.

She had just come down from the terrace on the second floor, and together with those concubines, she saw the emperor, Zhu Heng and Zeng Rong watching the fireworks outside the door.

This scene was linked to Zhu Heng's sudden appearance in the afternoon not long after Zeng Rong entered the door, and everyone always felt weird.

The Queen Mother guessed the inside story, but it was not yet time to announce it, so she boldly called Zeng Rong over, just to ask a few words to dispel the suspicions of these two people.

Not to mention anything else, she is still very confident in Zeng Rong's astuteness.

"I was upstairs just now, and I saw you with the emperor and Heng'er, what happened?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xia Guan didn't see the fireworks in the old year, and this year I was fortunate enough to serve the emperor, so I wanted to go out and have a good time, who knew what a coincidence, Xia Guan happened to meet Sister Amei when she went out, and the Queen Mother must also know that Xia Guan and Sister Amei have a deep relationship, so the two of us played around for a while, and the emperor should have come to find His Royal Highness." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was very satisfied with this answer, "Also, the mourning family forgot that you came from an embroidery workshop, and it is not uncommon for you to come to Cining Palace to find her." ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother ordered someone to get two red envelopes, saying that she would give Zeng Rong a New Year's money.

While waiting, the noble concubine spoke.
