Coming out of Qianning Palace, Du Juan led Zeng Rong through the alleyway to Yaohua Palace, and on the way, Zeng Rong asked Du Juan what he knew about this imperial concubine.

I don't know if it's because of fear of talking shallow or if I don't really know much about it, the cuckoo basically doesn't know anything, either shaking his head or pursing his lips and smiling.

"What about the rumors? There must be a lot of rumors about her, right? Zeng Rong didn't give up and asked again.

"I haven't heard anything about the rumors, Aunt Cui never talks about these things behind her back, if you really want to inquire about anything, why don't you ask Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui is old in the palace and has a lot of contact." The cuckoo shook his head again.

"That's it, I'll just ask casually, don't you dare to find Aunt Cui to touch this mold, when I was in the Shanggong Bureau before, the two aunts heard us privately talk about the harem masters, they would reprimand us, and punish us for betraying the palace rules." Zeng Rong smiled and rounded the conversation back.

After that, Zeng Rong took the initiative to shift the topic to the flowers and plants in the yard, from the edible roses planted in the nursery of the Pharmacopoeia Bureau to the safflower and other medicinal materials in the nursery of the Taiyi Administration, and from the orchids and hosta flowers in the Cining Palace, to the roses on the walls of the Yaohua Palace and the lilies in full bloom in the wrong season, Zeng Rong commented one by one, saying that his favorite is the edible roses in his yard, which can be seen and eaten, and by the way, Zeng Rong also praised Cui Yuanhua's craftsmanship.

While talking, the two stood outside Yaohua Palace, and Du Juan gave the basket to Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong took the basket and wanted to ask her to go in together, but Cui Yuanhua spoke, and it was impossible for Du Juan not to listen, the temptation along the way, Zeng Rong had seen the other party's prudence, and he would not answer any questions that were easy to cause controversy and trouble, so Zeng Rong was not bored.

When Zeng Rong entered, the imperial concubine was talking to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman dressed as a concubine, both of them were sitting on the kang, the imperial concubine was sitting in the right position, and the concubine was sitting on the edge of the kang with half of her body on her side, with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered, only to see a black and shiny green silk and a snow-white side face.

Hearing Zeng Rong report to his home, the other party half-tilted his head and turned to look at Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong looked back at each other generously, and he couldn't take his eyes off, at that moment, Zeng Rong first thought of a beautiful woman who I saw pity, with crooked willow eyebrows, autumn pupils, face like white jade, Yan Ruochaohua, a smile, all delicate and amiable, even the black and dense green silk seemed to have a bit of intoxicating style.

Seeing that Zeng Rong was a little stupid, the imperial concubine couldn't help but laugh, "How?" Haven't seen a beauty before? ”

"Back to the imperial concubine, the lower official is from the countryside, and he is indeed lonely and unheard of and has limited knowledge, and please don't blame the lower official for being abrupt." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

The last sentence was said to this concubine, in exchange for a shallow smile from the other party, like a ripple.

"Oh, how is it compared to Hongu?" Tong Yao joked.

This is an important proposition, Zeng Rong thought about it for a while, and replied: "Back to the imperial concubine, each has its own good." ”

"Then tell me, what is a good method?" Tong Yao asked.

"Back to the imperial concubine, one is young, one is mature, young and young, delicate, shy, mature and calm, calm, elegant, and please forgive the two masters for the lack of talent, I can't find more beautiful words to describe your goodness."

"It's a little interesting, young, delicate, shy, calm, calm, elegant, really interesting, no wonder the emperor treats you differently." Tong Yao nodded and said with a smile.

These words sounded like a compliment, but they made Zeng Ronghou's spine suddenly feel a chill, and he hurriedly bowed and replied: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the lower officials are stupid, and the emperor should punish the lower officials, and the lower officials must remember the teachings of the emperor and the imperial concubine." ”

"That's it, this palace has nothing to teach you, look at you scared like this. Come, get to know it, this is a poppy beauty, surnamed Yu, a beauty who has just entered the palace, you must have not seen it, the palace is also to see her born weak, afraid that she will miss home or something, so I often call her to come over to enlighten and enlighten. By the way, this palace heard that you are smart and studious, only eight buckets, coincidentally, our poppy beauty is also a rich and rich five-car person, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, it is better for you to talk to her, this palace is ashamed, just a rough person, a little bit of words, compared to you. The imperial concubine smiled.

"Qiyu Imperial Concubine Niangniang, these words are really annoying to the lower officials, the lower officials are from a vulgar family in the countryside, and they are fortunate to live in the academy to recognize a few words, and they have not even read a few books. Zeng Rong replied tremblingly.

To be honest, she really didn't understand what the other party wanted to do to kill her like this, who didn't know that she was from the countryside, even if she was lucky enough to read a few books, she would never be able to get close to Cai Gao Badou, not to mention, Qin Qi, with her identity in this life, she didn't even have a chance to touch it.

"You're from the countryside?" The poppy opened her mouth and said the first words after Zeng Rong entered the door, her tone was slightly surprised, and at the same time a little displeased.

Seeing this, Zeng Rongfang somewhat understood what the imperial concubine wanted to do, but after understanding, she couldn't understand the other party's routines anymore, was it necessary to use her as a lowly female official to stimulate this new favorite who had just entered the palace?

"Hui Niangniang, yes, Xiaguan just entered Beijing in the old year, and entered the Shanggong Bureau in October to be an embroidery girl, and he entered the inner prison for less than ten days, and he has been in his hometown in the countryside before, struggling for food and clothing." Zeng Rong simply lowered himself.

Who knew that the imperial concubine heard this and smiled: "Sister Yu, don't be coaxed by Zeng Zhangshi, don't look at Zeng Zhangshi's coming from the countryside, skillful, the queen has a phoenix wearing peony clothes, and the birthday clothes of the Queen Mother's birthday are all from the hands of this Zeng Zhangshi, and even the shoes worn by the emperor are embroidered by this Zeng Zhangshi." Also, last time the emperor was stuck with a fish bone, and even the imperial doctor couldn't do anything, and he was also hand-picked by Zeng in charge to help clip it out. Speaking of this, the palace is also curious, you said that you went to work on the first day, how did the emperor know that you would catch fish bones, but he hand-picked you, could it be that you have seen it in Cining Palace before? ”

Zeng Rong was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and replied: "Qiqi Imperial Concubine, the lower official did see the emperor outside the gate of Cining Palace once, and the imperial concubine and the queen mother were also present that time, and then the meeting was the first time the lower official went to work, and caught up with the emperor who was stuck with a fish bone, what the lower official said was absolutely true, as for why the emperor appointed the lower official, the lower official was also very confused, and the lower official was also blinded at that time, so that the emperor was angry, mistakenly thought that the lower official did not perform his duties, and punished the lower official for kneeling for two hours. ”

As soon as Zeng Rong's voice fell, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the door, saying that the emperor had arrived, and when the imperial concubine and Yu Meiren heard it, they hurriedly got off the kang and wanted to go out, but without taking two steps, the emperor strode in.
