Zheng Concubine's father is the eighth grandson of Zheng Hun, a master craftsman of Cao Wei, and her mother, Pan, is a member of the Changle Pan family, all of whom are famous families.

Zheng Yi, the elder brother of Zheng Concubine, the word Jingbo, was the chief historian of Situ Zuo at the time. Mrs. Zheng Yichang has a daughter, called buckwheat, at this time it is the year of cardamom, although it is not the appearance of the country and the city, but it is bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles and jade bones.

Because the Zheng family lived in the same palace with the Li family, they rushed to the inner hall in a short time.

When the Zheng family entered, he made a regular salute to the Li family, and said with a smile: "The concubine wanted to come to congratulate Madame, but she was afraid that Madame would be tired from returning from Madame Luo's palace, so she didn't dare to come and disturb." ”

Li beckoned and motioned for Zheng to sit beside him, and Fang smiled: "Ah Mei is well-informed." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Taking care of Mrs. Luo's mother and son seems to be easy, but in fact, it is quite a heavy responsibility, and I am afraid that I will be unable to live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Madam, you are ingenious, don't say that you only take care of Mrs. Luo's mother and son, that is, the whole palace is taken care of by you, and it is not impossible." ”

Li Shi listened to it, but said humbly: "Ah Mei has praised it, Your Majesty has made a statement, how dare I disobey it, I am just reluctant to make it difficult." ”

Zheng smiled and said, "Madame and everyone are both courteous and courteous, and everyone in the palace praises Madame for both internal and external cultivation. If the concubine can be taken care of by his wife after giving birth, it will be a great blessing for the concubine. ”

Li covered his mouth and chuckled, and said: "It is the queen's responsibility to take care of the postpartum concubines, and without Your Majesty's will, how dare I act as the queen's responsibility." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "However, Ah Mei lives in the same palace with me, and the queen takes care of her, and I should do my best to make your mother and son healthy." ”

When Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed.

While the two were talking, the palace maid brought the bowl inside.

Huan Dan took it, gently placed it on the table in front of Zheng, and said with a smile: "Concubine Zheng, Mrs. asked the small kitchen to cook Tianxi soup for you." On this day, the soup is made with the water of the early morning of spring, supplemented by angelica, ejiao, and peony, which can nourish blood and stabilize the fetus. This is the prescription obtained by the lady who made a special trip to consult the imperial doctor's order, and you can drink a bowl while it is hot. ”

Zheng was full of smiles, thanked Li, and felt that Li was amiable and approachable.

After Zheng's drink of Tianxi soup, Li Fang said slowly: "Ah Mei is a mother for the first time, and now that the birth is imminent, I am afraid that Ah Mei is afraid in my heart, and I want to ask His Majesty to allow Ah Mei's family to enter the palace to accompany her, but Mrs. Luo gave birth first, and her family members have never entered the palace, so I will not break the rules." ”

Zheng handed the bowl to Huandan, turned his head to Li and said: "The concubine knows that Mrs. Zhi thinks about me, and the concubine doesn't say much, and the gratitude is in her heart." ”

Li Shi smiled and said leisurely: "Between you and my sisters, how can I say that I am grateful." Ah Mei will wait for the birth with peace of mind, and when the moon is full, she can routinely reunite the relatives of her mother's family in the palace. ”

glanced at Huandan, signaled him to leave, and then said to Zheng with a smile: "I heard that Your Majesty is going to choose a right and left son for the prince today, and my sister is about to give birth, and there should be a lot of happy events in the palace." ”

"Choosing the right and left sons?" Zheng asked.

Seeing that Li nodded, Zheng sighed lightly and said: "This left and right son is the one who opened the prince's house, and one of them will give birth to the eldest son for the prince, so that 'the son and the noble mother die', and I don't know whether it is happy or sad." ”

Li got up and walked to the incense burner, personally added the ingredients of Herui incense to the furnace, and then turned to Zheng and said: "As the saying goes, women follow their fathers at home and marry their husbands, so our women should abide by this rule. ”

Returning to the front of the couch and sitting down, Li continued: "Although Taizu has set the 'death of the son and the noble mother', the glory of the mother clan is unmatched. Besides, the relationship between the person who opened the house and the prince is different from that of others, and this kind of affection is not available to ordinary people. ”

Sighing lightly, the Li clan continued: "There is no daughter of the same age as the prince in my clan, otherwise, I will definitely send her to the palace to share the glory of my mother's clan." ”

Zheng smiled and said, "Madame's words are reasonable, since she is the daughter of a family and enjoys the blessings of the family, she should be responsible. ”

Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, only looked at Zheng, but did not make a sound.

Zheng glanced at Li and said, "The concubine has a niece in her family, who is in the age of cardamom, although she is not jade-looking, she is a delicate and transparent daughter. If he is lucky, he can be guided by Mrs. Ke and can enter the East Palace, it will be the blessing of his three lives. ”

Li was secretly happy in his heart, but said quietly: "I remember, in the old years in the West Palace of Pingcheng, your mother brought this fellow girl to visit you. It's a well-spoken, delicate child. ”

At this point, Li Shihu sighed lightly and said, "Although I have the responsibility of assisting the harem, I have no power to influence the prince. I have the heart to help, but I am afraid I can't do it. ”

Zheng was stunned in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Madame Ying is brilliant and will definitely help her succeed." ”

Seeing that the fire had arrived, Li said: "Although Ah Mei and I are not blood relatives, we are like sisters. Although I don't have the talent in Ah Mei's mouth, I am willing to help Ah Mei. ”

Zheng was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to make a big salute, but was stopped by Li.

Zheng made a regular salute and said happily: "The concubine will hand over the letter to her father and ask him to prepare early." ”

Li Shi nodded and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, you go to ask Your Majesty to show me, just say that labor is imminent, and I am irritable in my heart, and I want to pick up my niece from the family to accompany me." ”

Zheng looked dazed and said, "Madam, you said that Mrs. Luo did not have any family members in the palace before giving birth, how can a concubine..."

Li Shi smiled faintly and said, "It's okay to be an unmarried woman, you just have to go to find Your Majesty, and I will take care of the rest." ”

When Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed.
