Chapter 365, Maintenance
The concubine didn't know who Zeng Rong was, but because of the entrustment of the eldest princess of Yanyang, she had to inquire about Zhu Heng, and only then did she know that there was such a person.
But the problem is that this kind of thing is just a rumor, and no one has reached a conclusion, only that the Queen Mother once fell in love with her and wanted to give her peony flowers but she refused.
Now Zeng Rong has become a female historian by the emperor's side, and the position of female historian is generally not easy to resign, so everyone dare not speculate about the holy will at will.
At that time, the noble concubine didn't take Zeng Rong into her eyes after hearing it, a little palace maid from the countryside, even if she was promoted to a female official, she was still as lowly, at most she was just a bed-warming girl next to Zhu Heng, and she couldn't even rank up the concubine, so she didn't have to worry.
But when she was on the terrace on the second floor, she learned that this little girl with a hippie smile on the face of the emperor and the second prince was actually Zeng Rong, and the concubine was furious.
This girl is too unruly.
Who is the Emperor?
That's the Son of Heaven, a god-like figure, but she is not respectful at all, and she has no sense of awe, is this okay?
Reasoning, there is the queen mother and the queen here, and if you want to teach Zeng Rong a lesson, it will not be her turn to be a noble concubine, but the queen mother is obviously partial to Zeng Rong, and the queen is most likely to dare to be angry and dare not speak, and she has to stand up and say a few words as an elder.
"Since the emperor is looking for the second prince, why are you, a little palace maid, pulling the emperor to laugh all the time?"
When the noble concubine asked this, not only Zeng Rong was startled, but even the Queen Mother and others were surprised. First of all, the concubine is not a person who is willing to do a lot of things, she has lived in the harem for many years, and rarely gets together with everyone except for major festivals; Secondly, Zeng Rong's matter has been decided by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the Queen Mother has just praised Zeng Rong and has ordered someone to take the red seal with her.
"Back to the concubine, the lower official didn't pull the emperor to laugh, the lower official didn't dare, and the lower official couldn't, just because the lower official came from the countryside, and it was the first time in his life to see such beautiful fireworks, and he was very surprised, the emperor was pleased with the shallow knowledge and fuss of the lower official, and specially joked a few words, so it was just." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.
"Why, I can't laugh at you anymore?" Zhu Xu's voice came from behind, and he pushed Zhu Heng in, just in time to hear Zeng Rong's words.
"Back to the emperor, it was the concubine who was asking the lower officials, and the lower officials were stating the facts." Zeng Rong turned around, still respectfully replied, very different from the lively and coquettish person who was outside the door just now.
"Your concubine? What did the concubine ask you? Zhu Xu looked at the concubine.
"Back to the emperor, the mourning family saw that this little girl was too presumptuous in front of the emperor, and she didn't comply with the palace rules, so it was not a serious matter to ask more."
The concubine didn't dare to look at the emperor, let alone be presumptuous in front of the emperor.
In just a moment, she has already understood that this stinky girl named Zeng Rong is definitely not ordinary, she can envelop the emperor at a young age, even the queen mother and the second prince are facing her, and she is a rootless and powerless old lady who is blindly mixed with something!
"Back to the emperor, the noble concubine is also the first time to see Historian Zeng, her old man is used to following the rules, she must be a little uncomfortable." Tong Yao stepped forward and said with a smile.
Zhu Xu saw that Tong Yao was helping to speak, although he didn't like this, he didn't care about anything, but asked Zeng Rong to kowtow to the concubine and admit his mistake.
Zeng Rong scolded a few words, but he also kowtowed to the other party in a proper manner, but it happened that the female official next to the Queen Mother took two red envelopes, and the concubine couldn't let Zeng Rong kowtow in vain, so she had to look at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid handed over two red envelopes with great eyes.
After receiving these four red envelopes, Zeng Rong also kowtowed to the Queen Mother, "Thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother and the noble concubine, and the lower officials wish the Queen Mother and the noble concubine the golden monkey blessings, longevity and health, and the rest of the years to come, more than every year, and peace every year." ”
"This kid, his mouth is really good, come here, this palace will also give you two red envelopes, and also ask for two auspicious words." The queen quipped.
It's just two red seals, which can please the queen mother and the emperor, what can't she bear?
When Zeng Rong heard this, he had to kowtow to the queen as well, "Xia Guan wishes the queen's mother the golden monkey Zhaoxi, everything goes smoothly, and the rest of her life will be endless, and good luck will not stop." ”
"For the rest of your life, you will continue to live and your good fortune will not stop." Wang Tong repeated these twelve words, and smiled, "This palace likes this, come, this is the palace to reward you." ”
After speaking, the queen took two red envelopes from the palace maids beside her and sent them to Zeng Rong in person.
The queen sent a red envelope, and the imperial concubine and several other concubines couldn't watch it, the emperor was worried that Zeng Rong's knees knelt down one by one, but he was afraid that he should complain about him again, and besides, how could there be so many auspicious words that were not the same?
Therefore, without waiting for the imperial concubine to speak, Zhu Xu said: "That's it, I don't have the time to listen to you grinding your teeth one by one, let's pay a New Year's greeting to everyone." ”
When Zeng Rong heard this, he had to kneel on the ground and turn around to salute the concubines present, and finally returned to Li Ruolan with a large number of red envelopes, and listened to the drama with peace of mind.
The two of them left after supper, and when it was already over, the children of the clan who lived outside the palace also had to go back to keep the New Year, and the emperor and the queen also had to go back to Kunning Palace to keep the New Year, which was the ancestral system.
This time, Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan did not follow into Kunning Palace.
Zeng Rong, who returned to the Inner Third Institute, was sleepy and tired, threw those red seals on the kang table, and even saved washing and went into the bed.
But this night she didn't sleep well, the palace was also full of firecrackers, one after another, Tiangang Ma Ma Liang was woken up by Zheng Jiao, their inner guards to kowtow to the emperor, but also to go to the palaces around, because after dawn, the emperor has to go to the previous dynasty to accept the worship of civil and military officials, the queen mother and the queen also have to meet the court women, so they only have to accept the worship of the palace maids and eunuchs in the half hour of Mao Zheng.
After a simple wash, Zeng Rong changed into new clothes in the palace, a red dark pattern jacket and a green long skirt, just about to go out, Zeng Rong suddenly remembered that he had promised the emperor's gift, and hurriedly turned around and took a small ornament embroidered by himself, the thing was too big to put on her body, she could only use a piece of silk, together with a few souvenirs she brought to Chang Gonggong and wrapped it up and hugged it out.
and Zheng Jiao and others rushed to Qianning Palace together, a group of people had already knelt in the main hall of Qianning Palace, and a group of people were retreating.
To be honest, it makes no sense to quit after kowtowing and shouting "Congratulations on the New Year, congratulations to St. Ann".
Where does the emperor remember who has been here?
Moreover, most people rarely have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and the emperor does not know him at all, and he will not pay attention to these faces.
Of course, acquaintances like Zeng Rong are exceptions.
