Concubine Ming gently brushed the hair between her sideburns, showed a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Speaking of which, it was already twenty years ago. My parents died when I was a child, and I lived with my only brother, but my brother was a hopeless gambler. When I was fourteen years old, my brother, who had lost nothing, sold me to a bully who was in charge of several gambling stalls as a concubine for the sake of gambling money. My brother and the bully met in a restaurant, and in order to prevent me from escaping, my brother tied me up with a rope and brought me to the bully, and he took the money and ran away without me.

I tried to struggle, I tried to shout for help, but everyone was afraid of the bully and didn't see it. Just as I was about to be taken away by the bully, a teenage girl at a nearby table stopped me, and the little girl was the queen. At that time, she was holding a piece of mung bean cake, and while biting it, she glared at the bully and said: 'This sister doesn't want to go with you, she doesn't want to go, you tie her up and take her away, you are robbing the people's daughter, how can you rob the people's girl in broad daylight?' At that time, when the bully heard her say this, he immediately slapped the table and was about to be fierce. However, before he could make a move, several of the queen's guards had already pushed him to the ground. ”

Concubine Ming paused, looked at Bei Juese again, and said, "The queen asked me to loosen my ties, but she calmly and calmly ate the plate of mung bean cake in front of her slowly before she said to me: 'This sister, I will deal with this wicked person, you can go back with confidence.'" With that, she asked the guards to pick up the bully and prepare to leave. At that time, I had already been sold by my brother, and I could not go back and let him sell me again, so without much thought, I knelt down in front of the queen and begged her to let me stay by her side as a slave and a maid to repay her great kindness. Guess what the queen said at the time? ”

Concubine Ming deliberately stopped talking, but Bei Juese shook her head directly and said, "I don't know." ”

Concubine Ming had no choice but to continue: "The queen said, 'I don't need you to repay any great kindness. However, if you have any difficulties in the future, sister, go to the Pingjun Mansion to find me. With that, she left. Later, I learned that she was the lord of Yuehua, the pearl of King Pingjun. A few days later, homeless, I really went to the Pingjun palace to find the queen, and the queen didn't say a word and asked someone to arrange an errand for me in the palace, and later, after a short time, she transferred me to her side as an errand. The queen was a very kind and easy-going person, and she treated everyone around her very well, including me. She never treated me as a subordinate, on the contrary, because I was four years older than her, she always treated me as an older sister. Over the years, the relationship between the Queen and I has gone beyond the ordinary master-servant relationship, and our relationship has been as deep and intimate as that of sisters. I grew up with the queen, accompanied her to marry Nanmian, and thought that I could accompany her to see the birth of the child, and then accompany her to the end of her life, but I didn't expect that she went before me. Speaking of this, Concubine Ming's face darkened, and she sighed lightly and did not say anything more.

After listening to Concubine Ming's words, everyone fell silent. After a while, Dong Wushu asked: "Princess, there is something I don't understand very well, I want to ask for advice." ”

Concubine Ming turned her head to look at Dong Wushu and said, "Dong Gongzi, please speak." ”

Dong Wushu said: "Since the princess and the queen are like sisters, why didn't you accompany the queen when she returned to her parents' house?" ”

Concubine Ming said: "A few days before the queen returned to her parents' house, I suddenly fell ill and was so sick that I couldn't even get out of bed, so in the end I couldn't go with me and stayed to recuperate. ”

After answering, Concubine Ming asked rhetorically: "Why does Dong Gongzi have such a question?" ”

Dong Wushu smiled casually and said, "It's nothing, it's just a curiosity to ask." ”

His answer is obviously that he said it and didn't say it. However, Concubine Ming didn't plan to chase after her anymore, she just smiled lightly, and then turned back to gossip with Bei Juese.

Concubine Ming and Bei Juese couldn't talk for long, and it was time for Nanling to take a nap, so she had to take Nanling back.

Before leaving, she said to Meng Qing: "Xiaoqing, you have to take care of the prince and help him get familiar with the environment in the palace as soon as possible." ”

Meng Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, princess, Meng Qing will definitely do her best to take care of the crown prince." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Bei Juese reacted quickly and said: "Mother, there are already enough palace people here to take care of my daily life, and there is no need to trouble Miss Meng anymore." ”

Concubine Ming smiled and said: "Xiaoqing grew up in the palace since she was a child, she is very familiar with everything in the palace and the various relationships between the royal family, with her, she can help you get familiar with all kinds of things in the Nanmian court as soon as possible." Besides, Xiaoqing's skills are good, with her and Meng Chao protecting you together, the king will be more at ease. ”

Bei Juese still wanted to refuse, but Concubine Ming had already said: "Let's just decide." Let's go back first. ”

After speaking, Concubine Ming pulled Nanling, who had already begun to fall asleep, and left, and soon walked away.

Bei Juese peeked at Meng Qing, Meng Qing smiled and bowed to him, and said proudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, from today onwards, my brother and I will protect you, and no one will dare to trouble you in the future!" ”

"Thank you, thank you." Bei Juese said a little weakly. I already thought that Meng Qing, the hot girl, was not easy to mess with, and subconsciously wanted to keep a safe distance from her, but I didn't expect that she would stay by her side now. An invisible pressure was inexplicably pressed down to the north.

However, this pressure lasted less than a day before disappearing. Because, after getting along with Meng Qing, Bei Juese found that she was not a hot girl who couldn't be messed with, her hotness was just used to deal with people she didn't like, and for others, she was actually a warm-hearted and easy-going person.

So, while learning Nanmian from Chen Yu seriously, Bei Juese listened to Meng Qing's detailed description of Nanmian's national conditions and the relationship structure of the royal family, and finally waited for the day when he left the palace ten days later to worship his ancestors in the Nanmian royal cemetery.

The cemetery of the Nanmian royal family is on the Mifeng Mountain, which is fifty miles south outside the city of Nanmian, and it takes almost half a day to go there from the palace, so you have to set off to the destination in the middle of the night and arrive at Mifeng Mountain before dawn.

Although it was pouring rain before departure, it did not stop the departure time of the convoy. King Nanmian gave an order, and all the convoys set off on time in the rain. In the cemetery of the Nanmian royal family, in addition to the members of the Nanmian royal family who are buried for generations, it is also the location of the mausoleum of the lord of Yuehua, and the king of Nanmian is eager to bring the northern beauty to the spirit of the deceased wife at this moment, so that the spirit of the deceased wife in the sky can see that the sons of the two have grown up.
