"I'd rather do it myself," Cui said with her eyes and her voice sad and guilty. "When the Empress Dowager was alive, I didn't serve her much. Now the Empress Dowager is in such a hurry. Whenever I think of it, I feel very guilty, but there is no other way to remedy it. I can only exert myself on these little things."
"I know that you are always thoughtful. Compared with other concubines in the harem, you are the most sensible one." Zhong Zhiheng patted Cui's hand gently and said, "you have been unknown for so many years. I look at you and think about your position in the first Jin Dynasty. After the Empress Dowager is buried, I will confer you as the imperial concubine and cooperate with the sixth palace. ”
"long live, my concubines are filial to the empress dowager, not for these reasons." Cui was so busy that he fell to his knees and said to Zhong Zhiheng in fear. "My concubine is the daughter-in-law of the empress dowager, and my concubines are filial to the empress dowager, which is just a matter of course. Long live doesn't have to praise my concubines for this. I really deserve it."
"It's not only because you are filial to the empress dowager, but also because you are the rare one in the harem. I want you to be a role model for all the concubines when I promote you," said Zhong Zhiheng, helping Cui get up, while saying, "besides, the princess of Huijun is about to have a baby. You, as a mother, should be promoted."
"Yes, thank you very much for your grace!" Cui's heart was so happy that he was busy and grateful.
"Hasn't there been any movement from the princess of wheatshire?" Zhong Zhiheng took a sip of tea and asked in a slow voice, "isn't Qin law over this morning? Why haven't you come back yet? "
Zou's concubine of Hui County began to suffer from abdominal pain more than ten minutes later. Zhong Zhiheng's grace allowed Qin Lv to follow Zou's birth in the past, but it was almost dusk before Qin LV came back.
"Long live, don't worry. Women don't spend all their time trying to have children? When my concubine gave birth to Minge, I cried all day and all night in the dormitory, and then I was born. "Cui smiled and looked at Zhong Zhiheng as if he was a little flustered. Cui asked cautiously," long live, do you remember? "
"Remember, when Minge was born, she was not much more than a kitten. The Empress Dowager looked at her and said that she was afraid she would not live. Fortunately, Minge survived," said Zhong Zhiheng in a deep voice, turning her head to look at the picture of the woman on the wall, pausing, and then saying, "when siyao was born in Mingwei, it was not easy. Siyao was so thin and small, but Mingwei was born It's still in a long horizontal position, but it's broken siyao... "
Cui was shocked at hearing the words, and then he looked at the women's portraits on the wall with Zhong Zhiheng. Zhong Zhiheng never mentioned Xu siyao. Since Zhong Mingwei was demoted to Ninggu pagoda, Zhong Zhiheng didn't even mention Zhong Mingwei. The women in the back palace have no eyesight to see them, and naturally they don't say that Zhong Zhiheng doesn't like to hear them. Only when it's never in this palace There have been Xu siyao and Zhong Mingwei. Unexpectedly, the cold is not small, but Zhong Zhiheng suddenly mentioned it.
"Yes, the empress was really offended at that time. She suffered from abdominal pain since she was a child at night. She still couldn't bear it until the next evening," Cui said with emotion. "I went in to see the empress once. She was almost as wet as she had just fished it out of the water. Although she was young, she was not a mother But I also know that it's not easy for Empress. At that time, looking at her, I couldn't help crying for a long time. "
"Yes, you were already in the palace at that time," said Zhong Zhiheng, nodding his head heavily and turning his head to look at Cui. "How much do you remember? Did siyao cry at that time? What did she say? "
