Chapter 498, Trap
Although the court meeting on this day was noisy, Zhu Xu was still satisfied with the final result, and finally reached an agreement, it is better to leave this matter to the local famous family, and if someone takes the lead, there will definitely be someone to follow.
So, after the end of the day, Zhu Xu announced Qian Yi's visit again, and Zeng Rong didn't know what he talked about, but after Qian Yi left, Zeng Rong was taken to the side hall, Zhu Xu was sitting there eating, and the people from the catering bureau were distributing vegetables on the side.
Seeing Zeng Rong enter the door, Aunt Chen took the initiative to hand over the chopsticks of Bucai to her, and went down with someone herself.
Zeng Rong took the chopsticks, arranged a few dishes for him according to Zhu Xu's preferences, and didn't dare to speak, and after Zhu Xu put down the chopsticks, Fang asked in a low voice: "The emperor is angry?" ”
Zhu Xu gave her a cold look, Zeng Rong muttered: "Xiaguan has really reflected in the past few days, and he is quite frightened, if he wants to say wrong, the fault is that Xiaguan should not bring food to the palace, but Xiaguan also thinks that this thing is not in the palace, and wants to bring it in for everyone to try something new, I really didn't expect to cause such a big disaster, and Xiaguan is also wronged, who knew that she suddenly came up." ”
"Are you wronged? I see if you remember to eat or not, think about it, because of this bit of food, how many times have you caused trouble? Not to mention anything else, the Dragon Boat Festival in the old year, if I hadn't arrived in time, your face would have been broken, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, because a few pieces of moon cakes caused less trouble? If I hadn't tried to protect you, would you still be able to jump here? That month's Huanyi Bureau was in vain? I warn you, don't think that you can come here if I promise you anything. Zhu Xu said a long sentence for the first time.
I've never seen a troublemaker like Zeng Rong, if he really marries Zhu Heng, he will definitely not be able to stop, he can't clean up the mess for these two people all day long, right?
"Back to the emperor, all these things happened before the winter solstice? Not after? Do you rest assured, the lower officials must be cautious in their words and deeds? No more gluttony. Zeng Rong obediently made a guarantee.
She knows it too? The emperor can tell her this, does he really love her as a junior? Besides, what the emperor said is also true.
Zhu Xu gave her a cold snort? Got up and left? Zeng Rong sat down.
After finishing the meal for a while, Zeng Rong came out of the side hall, and saw a palace maid standing in the middle of the hall greet her, saying that the imperial concubine wanted to see Zeng Rong.
"Huh? But sister? I still have something to do? Can I take a leave of absence from the emperor first? Zeng Rong was dumbfounded.
The other party pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Lady Zeng, I have reported to the emperor." ”
Zeng Rong heard this, so he had to follow the other party out, but he didn't forget to call Ah Chun? The two followed each other into Yaohua Palace.
Although the flowers and plants in the yard are covered with straw, can you enter the upper room? There is still a dark fragrance floating, Zeng Rong glanced at it? I found that there was a huge pot of daffodils on each side of the high table, which was much larger than the one in Zhu Heng's study? And this pot of daffodils is an ice crack kiln? Extraordinary at first glance? Even Zhu Hengna couldn't take it out.
Zeng Rong wanted to appreciate this rare kiln, and the palace maid standing outside the first room in the east had already spread inward, and Zeng Rong heard a voice, "Let her in." ”
As the door curtain was lifted, a strong strange smell hit Zeng Rong, and at this time she realized that it was no wonder that the other party wanted to put two large clumps of narcissus in the hall.
Not only in the hall, but also in this room there are two large clusters, one on the kang table and the other on the round table in the middle of the room.
Despite this, he still couldn't hide the disgusting smell, Zeng Rong tried to restrain the look on his face, afraid of handing the other party a handle.
No, Tong Yao was sitting in front of the kang, with a gauze scarf covering her face, only revealing her two eyes, and at first glance, she was still a little alien.
"Xia Guan has seen the imperial concubine." Zeng Rong knelt down and saluted in a proper manner.
"Do you know why Hongu is wearing a turban?" Tong Yao glanced at her, didn't tell her to get up, and asked slowly.
"Hui Niangniang, I know, the emperor has already trained the lower officials, and the lower officials are really frightened, and the lower officials have promised the emperor that they will never bring food into the palace from outside the palace in the future, otherwise, there will be a heavy punishment." Zeng Rong replied respectfully.
"That's it, those who don't know are not guilty, you can't be blamed for this matter alone, the emperor also ate the things that day, it is the palace's poor physique, can not adapt to this spicy thing, the palace is looking for you today, it is not to blame you for anything, it is to let you list a menu for the palace, the people in the hospital said that the palace needs to be cautious about eating and drinking this month, and can not eat any hair or hot things, but the palace thinks, the people of the food bureau may not know what hair or hot things are, if you make a list for the palace, remember, it will take a month."
Zeng Rong knew that this was a trap, but he had to jump in, without him, the emperor agreed to let her come over, presumably he also knew what the imperial concubine was looking for her, if she refused directly, I was afraid that the emperor would also be unhappy.
After a little consideration, Zeng Rong replied: "Back to Niangniang, it's not a big problem to make a list, and the officials of daily hair and hot things also know a little bit about it, but it's a bit difficult to make a mistake, I don't know when Niangniang wants this menu?" Also, is there anything else to abstain from in the mother's daily diet? ”
"Naturally, the sooner the better, this palace does not eat spicy things, there are no special things that need to be abstained from, remember, don't send things, don't use hot things, and don't use spicy things. If this is not the case, you will come up here for the palace, and you will have to toss it again after you go back. ”
After Tong Yao finished speaking, he immediately called someone to prepare a set of pen and ink for Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong hurriedly interjected when he heard it: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Xia Guan can't come up with this menu alone, you need to go back to consult some books, and you also need to find someone to discuss." ”
"Oh, I wonder what book you want? The main palace can order someone to help you find it, and the main palace can also help you call it. Tong Yao stared at her and asked.
"Hui Niangniang, I'm afraid that there is something wrong, what the lower officials are looking for is Zheng Cairen, Zheng Cairen used to stay in the Catering Bureau, and the lower officials who listed the menu for the emperor before were looking for her help, and she knows more dishes than the lower officials." Zeng Rong replied.
She didn't want to pull Zheng Jiao into the water, but she could change someone, Tong Yao would really call someone over, she didn't want to stay in this house for an hour or two.
Besides, it's winter now, there are few dishes to eat, don't want to send things and don't want hot things, she really doesn't know how many dishes she can eat, the key is that the other party also pointed out that it will take a month, and too many repetitions will definitely not work.
Moreover, if the other party's face is not good after a month, Zeng Rong can imagine what awaits her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hate the emperor a little, knowing that it was a pit, she had to let her jump.
