Zheng Taichang/Zheng Xiuyuan, who originated from the Zheng family in Xingyang, a family with five surnames and seven hopes, was a middle-aged official with a tall stature and a dignified appearance; but when he spoke, he had the elegant and scholarly air of his family background. As a fire broke out in one of the auxiliary halls of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he, as the Taichang Shaoqing who stayed in Beijing, had no choice but to avoid it.
As the mistress of the East Palace, Concubine Pei had reason to summon him specifically to inquire about the specific situation. Although this was just a formality, after the routine questioning, he inevitably met Mrs. Zheng, and couldn't help but sigh slightly solemnly.
"Jin Ping, are you okay?" But he still took the initiative to say hello: "I'm still good. I have both my daughter's comfort and my empress' regard for me." Madam Zheng said calmly: "It's just that I'm still good." There is something unclear. Did the previous message come from my brother’s original intention?”
"Jin Ping, do you only want to know this?" Zheng Taichang frowned even more tightly, but then relaxed and sighed: "I don't know if you want to believe it or not. The oral message did come from me, but it was not my original intention. It has nothing to do with our family; it’s just someone in the middle who makes his own decisions.”
"Brother, you and I have known each other for more than twenty years!" Madam Zheng unexpectedly changed her name: "Even if I was fined and confiscated and sent to the palace, you never stopped helping me; I will always be in my heart. . But what kind of family relationship makes you want to keep it secret?"
"Jin Ping, our family naturally has its own difficulties. Even I can't help but be burdened by it, and I have to be a taboo for His Majesty." Zheng Taichang also said helplessly: "But I never thought that someone would secretly cause trouble and change the situation. You are in such an unbearable situation; they clearly promised that they would only find a good match for you."
"A good match? A good match!" However, after hearing these words, Madam Zheng's tone became deeper and deeper, and her body trembled slightly with anger: "How can I be the family member? How can I care so much! The family family is really for me. I have found a good match, but when my lover is no longer there, I am heartbroken."
"The only thought I have now is to raise my daughter well and to escape from the suffering of being driven by others. I have survived the ten years before I was in court. Now I am just lucky enough to move to the East Palace, so what? How can my eldest brother and my family be so caring and considerate?"
"Twenty-sixth lady...don't you think that you can stay away from the disputes in the East Palace and stay out of it from now on?" Zheng Taichang also looked slightly solemn and called out to Madam Zheng: "It comes from the favor of the king. You will eventually get tired, so you can only choose a better formula to last longer!"
"You...you...how could you make such unwarranted assumptions and conjecture about me?" Madam Zheng's face changed slightly when she heard this, and Cui Ran burst into tears and said, "Could it be that I am in Taichang's heart? Can we only get ahead by using sexual intercourse and flattering the emperor?"
"Of course I don't mean it this way, but you are still in Shaohua, so you can't stop it, from your family or even others!" Zheng Taichang also said with a troubled face: "For today's plan, the best solution is , that is, to choose one among the heroes under the East Palace Gate."
So, after this unhappy brief meeting, Mrs. Zheng returned to the house in Mingfuyuan. Although there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she seemed to be much more relaxed and relieved. Then she gave birth to a child without any warning. He hugged his daughter who was writing a bibliography with a sad face.
"Wan'er, Wan'er, from now on my mother will only have you as her closest relative." Madam Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "How could you, my mother, suddenly talk about these things?" Girl But he didn't know why and said: "Daughter is not always the same, there is also Mr. Li."
"Yes, there is Mr. Li Nu. He is not a relative, but he is your relative." Hearing this, Zheng Niang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Tian, who was licking his paws and watching the excitement; he couldn't help but raise his head. Lai wondered: "Woman, what does this have to do with me? Did you make a mistake?"
"But I, Meng Langhe, have overstepped my bounds. Your husband is a heavenly immortal class who transcends the world. How can he be on the same level as the ordinary people like us." Madam Zheng couldn't help but said with a hint of sadness: "Even I am just a touch of Wan. It is only through my son’s light that I am lucky enough to receive support and guidance from my husband, so how dare I expect that.”
"Actually, it's not impossible, or there's no chance." Jiang Tian said in turn: "As long as you can create enough fun for me, it's not impossible to consider it and give you some hope in your lifetime." However, Zheng When the lady heard this, her expression suddenly became strange.
"I don't know, sir, what kind of fun do you need?" In a short time, a blush spread quietly from her ears to her cheeks: "I...I don't know if I can do it?" Jiang Tian But he waved his paws: "It's actually very simple; as long as it brings enough changes."
"Change...?" Madam Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then her thoughts changed with some difficulty: "What kind of change is it?" Jiang Tian shook his tail again, avoiding the girl's uncontrollable sneak attack and said; "From myself and the fate of others, to the changes of an entire era.”
Hearing this result, Mrs. Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart; but she felt a little embarrassed and confessed to herself, and she felt a little regretful and empty about her unreasonable suspicions and random thoughts. After all, she had just made up her mind to cut off contact with her family for the sake of her daughter.
But she instinctively wants to find someone for her daughter to rely on; even if it is just a fairy in the form of a cat. Just as Madam Zheng was worrying about gains and losses, the eunuch's announcement suddenly came from outside: "By order of the Zhongdian (Crown Princess), I am giving Zhang and my daughter the food palm book."
Later, a large load of exquisite food boxes was carried in by two Huangmen eunuchs; they were opened, displayed, packed and laid out in turn, with more than ten dishes in different utensils; Youzi also brought the newly made hot food. The steaming fragrance also made the girl's face suddenly light up and she immediately cheered up.
Among them, there are as many as eight kinds of meat dishes on celadon plates: roasted lamb tail, lamb crisp, goose breast, fish with wine meal, roasted tender chicken with lotus root, Jin Ling Feast/butter sausage, wild rice and deer dumplings; in addition, there are Paired with a large bowl of Tonghua soft beef soup, chicken and rice fish soup and Ju Sheng Nu (crispy meat cake).
There was even a yellow-glazed bottle of light wine "Grandma Chun" with floral paper on it, and a bowl of pre-mixed tea. At first glance, it looked like it was not the food official's office that supplied the majority of the people in the East Palace, but from a small number of people in the courtyard dedicated to beauties. The hot dianshan bureau is even the handiwork of the prince's lawsuit.
This can be regarded as a kind of comfort and statement from the Crown Princess Pei from the inner court of the East Palace! When the eunuchs who delivered the food retreated one after another, the atmosphere in the room, which was still somewhat solemn, became relaxed again with the girl's involuntary abdominal rumble.
"Mr. Linu, you are the elder who teaches Nunu, and you are also the benefactor of Nunu and my mother." But she still swallowed her saliva instinctively, trying hard not to look at these dishes, and respectfully faced Jiang The man in charge saluted and said, "According to etiquette, I ask you to have your meal first."
"Okay!" Jiang Tian nodded without being polite. He jumped up to the edge of the table and was about to tear open a piece of fried and brown goose breast with his claws. Suddenly, he felt the light blocking the top of his head. The shadow was that of Mrs. Zheng who was leaning down; she said softly:
"Thanks to Sir for your support and thoughtfulness, I will let you chat with me for the time being. Let me serve Sir for dinner." As she spoke, she took advantage of the situation to hold Jiang Bituo on her lap and picked up a piece of goose breast with chopsticks. , fed it to Jiang Tian's mouth: "Sir, are there any taboos?"
"..." Jiang Tian swallowed it in his mouth as a conditioned reflex, and tasted it carefully while saying: "There is nothing taboo. What you see now is just one of my incarnations, not a real raccoon slave. You can taste it." Of course, you don’t need to care about most things in the world.”
Although he was a little surprised by this, he still accepted the other party's kindness. Although in the current cat form, Jiang Tian uses his mind to eat, which consumes very little energy; but since someone is willing to do the work for him, he doesn't mind letting go and enjoying it.
"Nu Nu can do it too." Then, he saw that the girl was following the same example, holding up a bright red piece of wine meal and fish meat, and brought it to Jiang Tian's mouth as if offering a treasure and trying to please him: "Mr. Li Nu, please use it slowly." However, I don't know whether she was careless or something else, but she leaned forward.
In an instant, he lost his balance and pressed against the edge of a plate of jushengnu (crispy meat cake) on the table, causing it to tilt up and fly; knocking over the yellow glaze bottle containing wine, he also threw out a large piece of fish. The chopsticks landed directly on Mrs. Zheng's chest and collarbone; she was immediately in a panic.
At the moment when the girl screamed out in surprise, the giant saint slaves flying in the air were instantly immobilized one after another; they fell back into the tray one by one as if by magic; and the wine bottles that overturned and spilled some wine liquid, Standing without wind, he righted himself and moved back to his original position.
As for the piece of fish meat that landed on Madam Zheng's chest, it disappeared; not even a trace of stained juice was left. Jiang Tian chewed it in his mouth a few times and said, "The taste seems to be just right." The next moment, Mrs. Zheng reacted, and her face was stained with red.
The girl who was unaware of it couldn't wait to grab Jiang Tian, who was squatting on her lower abdomen. He lifted it up in the air and exclaimed with excitement and joy: "Mr. Li Nu... Mr. Li Nu, this is it." Have you recovered your supernatural powers and extraordinary skills? It’s really amazing!”
"You naughty kid, why are you so startled? Do you still want to have a good meal?" Then, Jiang Tian easily got rid of her bear hug and gave a shudder on the little headband; With tears in her eyes, she habitually squatted on the ground holding her head. "Sir, Nunu is really curious!"
"Wan'er, you are so ungrateful! You have wasted all the manners and etiquette I usually taught you." At this time, Madam Zheng, who had suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, also took out an uncommonly used tassel. Maintain a deterrent attitude; have a tendency to join mixed doubles if they say something wrong.
However, the next moment, the girl who shivered and stood up hastily knocked over the tea pot again in a panic; so this sumptuous dinner was accompanied by the banging of utensils, chasing and collisions. And the laughter, the girl's whines and tears, were eaten slowly.
