Gan Lao nodded, "Do you know the origin of your name?"

"I don't know, please give me advice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"You didn't have that name until you were four years old. Zhao means light. ”

Ming Zhao frowned, "But I remember that I was called Zhao'er by my mother since I was a child, how could I have this name when I was four years old?"

Gan Lao shook his head, "It's because you have a very smart mother. ”

Eighteen years ago, Shang Jun recruited women from various countries on a large scale to enrich the harem. Zhai is a small country that has always been dependent on the big Shang to survive, so he took this opportunity to send the princess Mingzhijun to Yindu, hoping to curry favor with Shang Jun. It's a pity that although Ming Zhijun was born with a beautiful appearance, he seems to be ordinary among the many beauties waiting for the fish. In the end, she didn't even get the position of lady, only became a maidess, only one level higher than the lowliest palace maid. Of course, I didn't see Shang Jun's face.

Ming Zhijun originally planned to rely on his own efforts to win a place in front of Shang Jun, and then fight for the interests of his home country. Who knew that after entering the palace, I knew that the battle in Shangjun's harem and Zhai Guo's harem were not the same concept at all. In less than three months, more than a dozen women who entered the palace at the same time died, and the cause of death seemed to be an accident, but it was a fool to think that it was an accident.

Ming Zhijun is a wise woman, after seeing the cruel situation in the harem, she immediately chose to keep a low profile, dressed very plain every day, lived with trepidation, never left the slightest handle, gave others the opportunity to frame herself, and lived quietly for about half a year.

One day, Shang Jun held a grand celebration banquet in the palace. As a female envoy, Ming Zhijun also has to take on the duty of serving at ordinary times. Her task that day was to take a few palace maids to wait in Shang Jun's changing room, and if Shang Jun needed to change his clothes halfway, they would be ready to serve at any time.

On that day, Shang Jun was very happy, drank a few more glasses, was a little drunk, accidentally spilled the wine on himself, and got up to change clothes. He was used to seeing harem concubines with heavy makeup on weekdays, and when he suddenly saw the beautiful and elegant Ming Zhijun, he felt very fond of it, and on a whim, he was fortunate to Ming Zhijun in the dressing room.

Ming Zhijun thought that he would never be favored by Shang Jun in his life, but who knew that he had become Shang Jun's real woman in this dressing room. It's a pity that Shang Jun was half drunk and half awake, and he even forgot to ask Ming Zhijun's name, and then he didn't even remember this person.

Soon after, Mingzhi-kun found out that she was pregnant. It stands to reason that if she is pregnant, she will be treated better in the palace, and she can even ask the queen to raise her position to a higher level. However, Ming Zhijun did not do so. She carefully concealed her pregnancy, and was still busy every day, so as not to let people know that she was pregnant.

A female envoy named Chen Yan, who was close to her, scolded her for being stupid, "You hide your belly so that no one can see it, and if you give birth to a child in the future, if you are suspected that it is not Shang Jun's child, what will you do?"

Ming Zhijun shook his head with a smile and gently touched his stomach, "Don't be afraid." When Shang Jun was in the changing clothes hall that day, his personal chamberlain Cui was guarding outside. Naturally, he would have reported it to the recorder. ”

"However, if you hide it like this, you can only eat the same thing as us, what should the child do?"

"It's okay, my kids are fine, I can feel it. He's going to understand me, and I'm doing this so he can survive. ”

"That's what you said, I heard that several concubines and their wives have had miscarriages recently. The imperial doctor said that they were not in good health and could not keep the fetus, but I don't believe it! Could it be that so many people could not keep the fetus at the same time? That is too coincidental!"

Ming Zhijun nodded, his eyes were deep, "Yes, it is not easy to give birth to a child safely in this palace!"

Eight months later, Ming Zhijun's stomach could no longer be hidden, so she bought a medical woman, pretended to be sick, locked herself in the room every day, and relied on Chen Yan to help take care of her. That night, wind and rain, Ming Zhijun felt very uncomfortable in her body, she estimated that she was about to give birth, so she called Chen Yan.

"Yan'er, have you done what you were asked to do before?"

"It's done, the palace maid who was pregnant with the guards has been hidden in my room, and it seems that she was born in the past two days. I've already told her what you've said, and she's agreed. ”

Ming Zhijun nodded, "After the matter is completed, I will send her to escape from the palace and give her all the money I have prepared!"

"Don't worry!"

That night, Ming Zhijun had a dream that he was in the dark and was panicking, when suddenly there was a "boom" sound in his ears, as if something was hitting something. She followed the prestige, and found a crack in the darkness that surrounded her, and the light came in from the outside, and it was very dazzling. She was about to walk over when she heard a roar, and a dragon smashed through the darkness and flew out of the light-filled crack, breaking the darkness. Mingzhijun was trying to see the appearance of the dragon clearly, but suddenly felt that his feet were in the air, and he immediately woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she felt that something was wrong with her stomach, and it turned out that the amniotic water had broken. Although she has never given birth to a child, it turned out that in Zhai Guogong, she heard an experienced old lady talk about these things. It just so happened that Chen Yan was worried about her body and came to see her. Ming Zhijun instructed her to deliver herself. Chen Yan spent a lot of effort and finally helped Ming Zhijun give birth to the child.

"Yan'er, is it a man or a woman?" asked Ming Zhijun, sweating profusely, holding on to the last trace of clarity.

"It's a boy!" Chen Yan's tone was a little heavy.

"Did she give birth?"

"Not yet, but I'm looking at it soon, she was complaining about a stomachache before I came over. I'll get you in here, and I'm going to go see her. ”

Ming Zhijun nodded, and Chen Yan quickly took care of the child, put it next to Ming Zhijun, and then walked to her own house.

That palace maid really gave birth tonight, Chen Yan had just delivered a child, and she already had experience, so she quickly helped her deliver the child.

"Envoy Chen, is it a daughter?" the palace maid looked at Chen Yan with wide eyes.

Chen Yan nodded happily, "It's a daughter! It's a daughter! You've helped us a lot!"

The palace maid closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Great! Fortunately, it's a daughter! In this way, both our mother and daughter have a chance to live!"

"Rest quickly, I'll go over there first! Remember what I told you, just hide in this room, and don't make a sound!"

The palace maid nodded, and looked at the swaddling baby girl in Chen Yan's hand with affection, "You go to the Ming maiden envoy quickly!"

Chen Yan nodded, and walked quickly to Ming Zhijun's house with the baby girl in his arms.

The next day, Chen Yan reported to the queen on behalf of Ming Zhijun, saying that she had given birth to a daughter.
