Jinghe opened a corner of the sedan curtain and looked at it, it was indeed in the direction of Yongshou Palace, so he put his mind at ease, secretly thinking in his mind what he was going to say to the concubine Niangniang later, and after a while, the sedan chair stopped, and Ziying opened the sedan curtain to support her.
Jinghe got out of the sedan chair, and Zi Ying stepped forward and said to the eunuch guarding the door: "Youlao, this father-in-law, is the general gift, my wife is the lord of Chengyang County, and I want to ask to see the concubine." ” The concubine Niangniang has a good eye for the lord of Chengyang County, and since the waiter is from the Yongshou Palace, she naturally knows this, and stepped forward to salute Jinghe, and said: "Madame is unlucky, the concubine Niangniang just went to the Shufei Niangniang Palace to speak." ” As soon as the words fell, the footsteps of the concubine could be heard from a distance, and Jinghe raised her eyes, but it was the concubine's Feng Yuan who returned to the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief, Lianbu gave way to the side of the road, and waited for the chariot to get close before he saluted and said: "Chengyang County Lord Chu Xu knocked to see the concubine Niangniang." ” The concubine stopped and sat down, and walked down with the help of the peach note, and said with a gentle smile on her face: "It turned out to be Chengyang," and stretched out her hand to invite her into the house together, and said, "Let's go, I just got a few tricks here, you are proficient in embroidery, just come to choose one for me." ” Quiet and kind, as she entered the main hall and sat down.
The peach note brought the tea, Jinghe took it in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the concubine.
The concubine wore a smoky brocade robe, with only a few emerald hairpins inserted into the big bun, and a little bit of motherly gentleness and kindness, but still a little bit of nobility that was difficult to despise, she hurriedly lowered her head and said: "I haven't seen you for half a month, and when I see the concubine Niangniang Da'an, the concubine is very happy." ” The concubine smiled: "You kid has a heart, now that you have become a parent, you look more stable, unlike the one who came back to the palace to see me, like a frightened kitten, the hair is standing up, both hands are nervously holding, if it weren't for the fact that the palace is very sure that there is no grudge with you, I'm afraid I have to worry that you are here to seek revenge!"
He laughed when he said this.
Jinghe listened to her talk closely, and relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Let the mother see and laugh." ” The concubine shook her head with a smile, her eyes showed a bit of kindness, "You girl is a good girl, staying outside the palace is very beneficial to the people of the world, but when you enter the palace and wade into this troubled water, it will be difficult to keep the original color, how could I harm a simple and kind good girl for my own selfish desires?"
” Jing and Yan Yan understood the concubine's good intentions to change her mind, her heart warmed, she lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you concubine for your understanding." ” The concubine was supported by the peach note, and came to support her in person, Jing He hurriedly stood up, and helped her sit back on the kang with the peach note, and then sat back on the chair by herself.
"I was in a hurry when I entered the palace last time," Jinghe said: "If the mother does not give up, the concubine is willing to ask for peace for the mother." ” A smile on the corner of the concubine's lips opened, and she said slowly, "Okay," said and raised her hand on the edge of the kang, and the peach note stepped forward and put a handkerchief on the concubine's wrist, and the concubine waved her hand and said: "Since it is the county lord of Chengyang who asks for the pulse of the palace, there is no need to stick to these false courtesies," and said: "Move a handful of embroidery piers." ” The imperial doctors checked the pulse of the nobles in the palace, even if they didn't have to kneel, they couldn't sit quietly, but Jinghe was not the imperial doctor, but the British duchess of Chengyang County.
Jinghe said thank you diagonally and sat down, stretched out her hand and put it on the wrist of the concubine, and said after a while: "Niangniang is just a little weak in qi and blood, because the blood does not nourish the heart, so the heart is deficient in yang and restless, the spleen is not healthy, the source of qi and blood biochemistry is lost, and there is some yin deficiency, so there will be symptoms of upset and sleeplessness and fatigue. ” The concubine bowed slightly, and said to the peach note: "In the future, the phoenix body of the palace will be regulated by the master of Chengyang County, and there is no need to work as a doctor from the hospital." ” Jinghe was terrified, and only said: "The concubine is not good at learning, how dare she compare with the doctors in the hospital, the mother is like this, but the concubine is frightened." ” "Okay," the concubine smiled slightly and raised her hand to help her up, and said to Taojian: "You go to the Tai Hospital to spread the word, we two talk and talk, and no one needs to serve in front of us." ” Jinghe couldn't insist anymore, so he only prescribed a prescription to nourish the heart and spleen, and said: "Niangniang can take more longan meat every day, which is the most nourishing blood and qi." ” The concubine bowed slightly, picked up the tea bowl to leisurely drink tea, her eyes were smart and clear, and she seemed to see through Jinghe's thoughts, just waiting for Jinghe to speak first.
After the peach note retreated, there were only two people in the warm pavilion, the concubine and Jinghe, the room was quiet, Jinghe knew that this was the concubine who was creating an opportunity for her, if she wanted to ask the concubine what she meant, now was the best time, she took a deep breath, looked up and put on a shallow smile on her face, "The concubine is here today, and there is something I want to ask the concubine." ” The corners of the concubine's lips curled into a smile, looking at Jinghe's eyes very soft, she didn't answer, but asked, "I don't know if the county lord of Chengyang understands our Great Zhou's feudal system?"
” The second mention of the seal?
It seems that the problem is indeed here, Jinghe stared over with blazing eyes, waiting for the concubine to solve the mystery.
The concubine stood up and said slowly: "Our Great Zhou Dynasty refers to the female dependents of the first to fifth grades, the wives and mothers of the first-grade and second-grade officials are all named first-grade ladies, the third-grade is given to the lady, the fourth-grade is given to the Gongren, the fifth-grade is given to the pleasant, and the sixth-grade is given to the Anren, but an official can only be awarded two wives at most, the main wife and a stepwife, if the official is promoted, even if the first lady has died, the first lady must be posthumously awarded first. ” That's why she didn't make the gift for a long time?
The concubine seemed a little unbearable, and said: "No matter how noble the lady is, even if she is a princess, she still has to perform the concubine in front of the first lady. ” Jinghe suddenly understood, no wonder Concubine Xian had something to say in the conversation, she must have a way to cover her up and make her not so embarrassed, so she blatantly made a request.
Jinghe stood up and said goodbye, the concubine stood up, stepped forward to help her, took her hand and walked forward, and said in a slow but very amiable tone: "This matter will be turned around for you in front of the emperor, but after all, this matter is determined by the number of etiquette, and it is not easy to say how it is." ” Jinghe turned her head, looking at the concubine who was full of worry and love, and felt a little emotional for a while, she bowed and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ” Coming out of the Forbidden City, Jinghe thought about it repeatedly, Zi Ying saw her solemn expression, and asked with concern: "Madame, are you tired, why don't you serve you and rest for a while." ”
