Chapter 112: Princess Concubine
The news that Ming Zhijun suddenly gave birth to a daughter surprised the queen very much. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She didn't expect that in this palace, there were still things she didn't know. However, Mingzhijun is just a princess of a small country, and she is a low-level female envoy, and she gave birth to a daughter, and the queen doesn't care. After she sent someone to the chronicler to verify, she asked the personal palace maid to confirm the sex of the baby, and learned that it was indeed a daughter, so she reported it to Shang Jun.
However, there were many babies born in the palace in those days, including the sons of several concubines. Shang Jun's mind was on these sons, and he didn't care about his newborn daughter, and he didn't even bother to reward his name. The queen asked the chamberlain to promote Ming Zhijun, who had given birth to a child, to a lady according to the custom, and then stopped caring about this matter.
The indifferent attitude of Shang Jun and the queen was exactly what Ming Zhijun wanted, and after she deceived everyone with the daughters of the palace maids, she secretly sent their mother and daughter out of the palace, and then dressed up her own son as a daughter to raise her.
"Mrs. Ming, what are you going to name him?" asked Ming Zhijun while teasing the baby in the cradle.
Ming Zhijun, who had just come out of confinement, had a little more mother's tenderness on her face, she looked at the child, "Just call her Concubine!"
"Hello, that's a pretty good name. Chen Yan gently poked the baby's face with his hand, "Concubine, little concubine, I will take care of you in the future." ”
Three years later, the three-year-old concubine was lying on a high tree, looking enviously at the palace maids and chamberlains walking outside.
"Aunt Xuan, why can those palace maids and chamberlains go out, but I can't?"
"Concubine, come down quickly, be careful to be seen! Your mother will come back soon, and she will scold me when she sees you in the tree!" Chen Yan stretched out his hands high, trying to hug him down.
But Fei'er hugged the branch and turned back solemnly: "It's your request to go to the tree, and it's your child's fault to go to the tree, why does your mother scold Aunt Yan? ”
"Oh, you kid, why are you so stubborn?
"No, I'm going to watch it for a while, and I finally wait for my mother to go to the inner chamberlain to get the monthly money, so I can come up and look outside for a while!"
"Uh-huh!" a voice snorted.
Yu'er didn't reply: "Aunt Yan, if you have an uncomfortable throat, drink some hot water." That's what Mother said. ”
Chen Yan looked at Ming Zhijun who was standing under the tree with a gloomy face in embarrassment. Ming Zhijun glared at Yu'er's back, "You listen to your mother so much, why do you still want Aunt Yan to carry you to the tree?"
"Huh, mother, are you back, you miss you so much!" Yu'er turned around and threw herself down from the tree with a big smile, and Mingzhijun hurriedly stepped forward to catch her.
She nodded her nose, "Don't think that by playing this kind of trick, you can fool the wrong thing just now." You know what to do!"
"Yes!" she jumped off her mother and walked dejectedly into the side room. It was where her mother did her needlework, and it was also the place where she thought about it.
"Madam, are you too strict with your concubine?" Chen Yan looked at her back with a look of unbearability.
"No way, this is the best protection for her. Mingzhijun also had heartache in his eyes, but it was more firm.
"What will I do in the future? I can't let him stay like this, right? The fact that he is a man will be exposed one day!"
The queen's son will soon be seven years old, and it is customary to be made crown prince at the age of nine. After the crown prince's status is settled, I will find an opportunity to reveal the identity of the concubine. For the queen, the crown prince is uncertain, and any son of Shang Jun is a roadblock in her eyes. ”
"Fortunately, Yu'er has always been kept in the house, and only needs to attend the annual year-end palace banquet, otherwise his true identity will not be hidden for so long!"
Mingzhi-kun gave her a funny look, "If you don't help that little villain, his identity will be hidden for longer." ”
"No way. You'er looks so cute, as soon as he spoils me, I can't help it!" Chen Yan frankly admitted that he was eaten to death by a three-year-old cute baby.
Another year passed, and on this day, Chen Yan began to be busy early in the morning, and Yu'er walked around behind her like a little tail.
"Aunt Xuan, what are you busy with?"
"Today is your birthday, and Aunt Yan wants to make something delicious for you to eat. ”
"What is a birthday?"
"Your birthday is the day you were born. You're four years old, so you were born four years ago today!"
Yu'er's eyes widened, "How was it born?"
"Huh, how was ......it born? This ......" Chen Yan picked his head for a long time, not knowing how to answer, "Why don't you go and ask your mother!"
You'er lowered her head, "Mother hides in the house all day doing needlework, and she must have forgotten that today is You'er's birthday." I'd better not ask her. ”
"How so? Madame is the one who loves her best, and it will make your mother sad to think so. Four years ago, she was in so much pain that she gave birth to you!"
"Pain?" said for a moment, stretching out her fingers tied with strips of cloth, "Is it more painful than my hand being cut by a knife?"
Chen Yan smiled: "It's probably as painful as cutting ten fingers!"
Hearing this, her eyes widened, and she clearly remembered the feeling of pain and tears when her finger was cut. If you cut ten fingers, how painful it must be!
Chen Yan saw that she kept looking down at her fingers, stopped talking, and went to work on her own business.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at the side room, where her mother was immersed in needlework, and the needlework she made could be sold by a familiar attendant in exchange for some money. She pursed her lips and tiptoed out the door, walking in the direction of the Imperial Garden. She had seen the Imperial Garden from the trees before, and knew how to get there.
Remembering her mother's instructions and not letting others see her, she dodged all the way to the Imperial Garden.
"Wow! What a lot of flowers! When you look closer, it's even more beautiful than in the trees!"
She jumped up happily, she looked left and right, and when she was sure that there was no one nearby, she reached out and picked up the flowers, "Mother gave birth to me and suffered so much, so I will send her some beautiful flowers to make her happy." Anyway, she also likes flowers, and embroiders on those silk cloths every day. ”
She was busy and chattering, but she didn't know that there was a person standing not far behind her, looking at her busy little figure with great interest.
"Your Majesty, do you want the slave to report?" said Mr. Cui respectfully. Standing next to him was none other than Shang Jun himself.
"Do you know her?" Shang Jun pointed to the child in front of him with interest.
"Please forgive me, it seems to be a certain princess, but just looking at the back, the slave and maid can't tell the difference. ”
"Princess?" Shang Jun frowned, "Why don't I remember her?"
