Chapter 1357: Deep Palace
Except for Li Zhongyi, most women living in the palace have a boring life.
Due to the confinement of the palace rules, the range of activities of the women in the palace can be described as pitifully small.
Empress Dowager Xue usually doesn't have any entertainment activities, so she likes to play mahjong and chat about gossip.
On the days when they were so idle, everyone was sad, and Li Zhongyi's women were scrambling to play mahjong with Empress Dowager Xue. After all, it's a rare opportunity to show your face.
If the Empress Dowager Xue is served well, and let her blow a small breeze to Li Zhongyi from time to time, it will be extremely beneficial.
Empress Dowager Xue is also very considerate of the difficulties of women in the palace, her friends are basically changed every day, today they are Zhesaihua, Li Qiniang and Li Cuixuan, and tomorrow they will be replaced by Zhu Niang, Fei Meiniang and Tang Shuyi, impartial, just right.
Since Li Zhongyi and Li Dahe are both famous doctors, pregnant women in the palace not only do not need to stay in bed all day long, but also have a lot of activity.
At present, there are four pregnant women in the palace, namely Li Cuixuan, Li Qiniang, Peony and Ye Xiaolan.
Li Zhongyi's medical advice to them was that after three meals a day, they must rest for two quarters of an hour, walk slowly for another two quarters of an hour, and they are absolutely not allowed to stay still in bed.
In the great aristocratic family of this era, pregnant women giving birth are as if they have walked through a ghost gate, which is very dangerous.
The core root cause lies in the lack of understanding of fertility in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is believed that pregnant women should not move as much as possible in order to meet the way of raising the fetus.
In fact, pregnant women in aristocratic families, because the family conditions are very superior, are too ruthless, and the calories consumed by exercise are seriously insufficient, which can easily lead to a large fetus and dystocia.
Today, accompanying Empress Dowager Xue to play mahjong are Li Cuixuan, Li Qiniang and Fei Meiniang. Li Cuixuan and Li Qiniang have been pregnant for more than eight months, their bellies are upright, and it is very inconvenient to move.
Empress Dowager Xue was worried that they would fall, so she specially ordered someone to make a few sofas invented by Li Zhongyi for pregnant women.
"Qi Niang, I heard Brother Zhen say that you are not allowed to drink chicken soup every day?" Empress Dowager Xue asked Li Qiniang with a smile.
Li Qiniang bowed and said: "Yes, the emperor said that it is not appropriate to make up too hard, so as not to cause big trouble after entering the delivery room in the future." ”
Li Cuixuan subconsciously touched her belly, if this baby gives birth to a male baby, then her hard life is about to come to an end.
The women in the palace, no one is looking forward to having a daughter, they are all eager to give birth to a son.
As the saying goes, more children are more blessings!
To put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Xue also likes to have more grandchildren, and if there are more grandchildren, the people of the old Li family will prosper.
Especially in the royal family, once a man becomes a scarce thing, there will be a lot of trouble in the inheritance of the country!
"Cui Niang, how did you sleep yesterday?" Empress Dowager Xue paid attention to Li Cuixuan impartially.
Li Cuixuan hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "After returning to my mother, the concubine rested for a while yesterday and slept for four hours at night. ”
Empress Dowager Xue nodded frequently, her son is capable, and the concubines who serve around her are more beautiful than the other, and each one can speak better than the other.
Among Li Zhongyi's women, so far, none of them are stupid people with big breasts and no brains.
Even Peony, who once stood on the wrong team, now knows that he is holding Li Zhongyi's thigh and refuses to let go.
Fei Meiniang is as quiet as ever, playing cards silently, playing cards silently, as if she is invisible, and will never cause any trouble to anyone.
It is also strange to say, the more Fei Meiniang has an indisputable attitude towards the world, the more willing Empress Dowager Xue is to find her to play mahjong with her.
Fei Meiniang plays mahjong has a characteristic, faithfully implemented the principle of no father and son in the casino, the Hu card, she absolutely wants Hu, do not want to make the Empress Dowager Xue happy, and deliberately do not win the card.
After a long time, Empress Dowager Xue also saw clearly that Fei Meiniang was really here to play cards for entertainment, and there was no other trickery.
As early as the time of Shu Kingdom, Fei Meiniang was already the concubine of the Sixth Palace, what did she not understand about the rules of the palace?
It is precisely because she has no other thoughts in mind that Fei Meiniang has always performed in her true colors in front of Empress Dowager Xue, and she will never be soft.
This person is a strange animal, the more Fei Meiniang doesn't want to be kitsch, the more Empress Dowager Xue likes her.
"Mei Niang, I heard that the peony flower you raised, how many leaves are left?" Empress Dowager Xue exposed the defect of not knowing peonies with one mouth.
However, the women here only acted as if they hadn't heard it, and only fools who had no vision would pierce this.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubines didn't pay attention, and after more sun, the leaves were a little withered." Fei Meiniang described the fact of the peony flower suffering in a straightforward manner.
"If you don't have time to serve it, just send it to me, and I'll take care of it for you." Empress Dowager Xue said tentatively with a smile while typing out a picture of 80,000.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely hit the snake and climb up the pole, and push the boat down the river to give the peony to the Empress Dowager Xue.
However, Fei Meiniang didn't seem to understand, and while knocking down all the cards, she smiled and said: "That dare is good, when the concubine can't take care of it, it will definitely trouble the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Xue pushed a small silver ingot in front of her to Fei Meiniang, and said with a smile: "You are almost crazy about flowers." ”
These words are somewhat sour, and if they are someone else, they can't stand it anymore and want to get up and apologize. However, Fei Meiniang just didn't hear it, not only did she not ask for guilt, but accepted the silver ingot given by Empress Dowager Xue with a smile.
Li Qiniang admires it so much, the person who dares to play tricks in front of the Empress Dowager Xue, except for Tang Shuyi, can be regarded as Fei Meiniang.
Seeing that Fei Meiniang refused to let out the peony flowers, Empress Dowager Xue couldn't help but hum helplessly: "People are more delicate than flowers, and flowers are more expensive than people." ”
This is another Foshan shadowless mouth, ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it, but Fei Meiniang is concentrating on shuffling the cards, just as if she has not heard this level of gossip.
As the saying goes, three women in one play!
Now, it's four shrewd women, tied together, isn't it a good show?
Empress Dowager Xue was mainly in a panic, and brought her prospective daughters-in-law to play mahjong with her, one was to distract herself, and the other was to help Li Zhongyi take care of the pregnant woman.
After all, Empress Dowager Xue has given birth to three children, and her experience in childbirth can be described as very rich. In addition, Li Zhongyi supplemented the medical advice that conforms to the common sense of modern fertility, and the women of the old Li family have not had any major trouble in childbirth so far.
Under normal circumstances, when the hostesses in the palace gather to play mahjong, Kang Ze will wait at the gate of Empress Dowager Xue's palace.
Although it is said that it is not his turn to serve tea and water, the snacks that the hostesses like are all in Kang Ze's mind.
Normally, Li Zhongyi doesn't have a lot of trouble with Kang Ze, however, the hostesses in the palace are much more difficult to serve than Li Zhongyi.
This one thinks that the hot water is too slow, which one says that the food is too salty, and what is even more terrible is that the pregnant hostess said that she has an uncomfortable stomach, and that tossing energy can simply kill Kang Ze.
Although he was a little busy, Kang Ze's heart was still quite full. One day, if he is not busy and is idle all day long, it means that the sky has fallen and he has fallen out of favor.
"Kang Duzhi, our mother said that the sour jujube she likes has actually cut off the supply." Xue Yue, the confidant female official beside Concubine Li Cuixuan, came out of it and covered her face with a few heads, "What's the matter, Kang Duzhi, your old man thinks that our mother has neither power nor power, so it's easy to bully, right?" ”
As soon as Kang Ze heard it, he knew that the person who came was not good, so he hurriedly hunched his waist and said with a smiling face: "Sister Xueyue, look at what you said, even if you borrow eighty of my guts, you don't dare to snub Cui Niangniang." ”
"What do I tell you, if Cui Niangniang lacks anything, you must give it to me as soon as possible. How did you guys get on errands? Kang Ze caught his disciples and grandchildren, and he scolded him.
In this palace, who can be offended, and those people can't afford to offend at all, Kang Ze has a clear account in his heart.
Li Cuixuan is one of the things that Kang Ze can't afford to offend!
The answer is actually very simple, Li Cuixuan's identity is noble, and she looks like a disaster for the country and the people, which is very pleasing to Li Zhongyi.
Kang Ze was right, he really didn't dare to offend Li Cuixuan, and he couldn't afford to offend.
In these years, no wind is as strong as the typhoon next to the pillow!
"Xiao Xiangzi, what are you still doing? Hurry up and find sour dates for Sister Xueyue......" Kang Ze flew up and kicked Xiao Xiangzi's ass hard, Xiao Xiangzi couldn't catch off guard, and actually fell into the mud.
Xueyue don't giggle with amusement, Kang Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got through the dangerous storm.
The things in the palace are simple and simple, and everyone is in place to serve the good masters!
To say complicated, it is complicated to die!
After all, it's easy to offend big people who shouldn't be offended because of some inconspicuous little things.
Usually it's nothing, but I'm afraid that when I respond to the scene, someone will take eye medicine in front of Li Zhongyi, and the fun will be great.
In addition, in today's palace, Kang Ze is no longer alone in charge. The deputy capital knew that Meng Yao had already made a lot of noise, so he set up another mountain in the palace and pulled up a group of sub-teams.
Kang Ze has always been very jealous of Meng Yao, after all, when he was still a powerless and powerless empty servant, Meng Yao was already the deputy governor of the Inner Servant Province.
At that time, Meng Yao relied on being the confidant of the Empress Dowager Fu, so he didn't take Kang Ze seriously at all, and gave him a lot of hardship.
Later, after Du Qinniang hooked up with Li Zhongyi, Kang Zecai turned over and became the number one chamberlain in the palace.
It's just that Kang Ze's time on the throne is too short, far less than Meng Yao, who has big roots and deep roots, how can he not be taboo?
With Meng Yao standing at his side, Kang Ze was even more energetic, vowing to serve all the nobles in the palace comfortably and properly.
There is competition, there is pressure, there is motivation, Li Zhongyi is not wrong at all!
