It's not time for you to stop smoking now. It will not be too late for you to do so after your recovery" I said: "Isn't it true that you hate me for my smoking? If you don't like it, I will stop it at once. You ever told me that smoking did harm to being pregnant." The Emperor said: "Forget it! It is Zheng Chili (note: the son of Zheng Xiaoxu) and Zhang Chenghe who said that. It is not believable. There are many smokers who can still give birth to babies as usual. You don't need to mind it. Furthermore, the doctor Bo (a female doctor from the German Hospital eversaid that a little smoking was better than drinking. On the condition that you do not smoke too much, it does no harm to your body and it ever[sic does some good to it. Have you ever seen any foreigner who does not drink? They do at every meal and they are productive!" I am so grateful that the Emperor is so enlightening. That the Emperor does not believe in the slanderous talk shows that he sets his affection on me and shows his consideration for me."
