The figure is slender and weak, with a pointed melon seed face, a pair of big black eyes, which occupy almost half of the face, and a look of cowardice with a little apprehension. Duchess Zhenguo was half-lying on the bed, looking at the "daughter" that the husband had found for her in front of her, and sighed slightly in her heart.

Yes, she already knew about the "plan" of her husband and eldest son, and the day after they discussed, Jun Miao'er revealed the news to her with a little uneasiness. Jun Miao'er's careful thinking, she also knows, and wants to succeed to her name to be her daughter - no, her daughter's position is irreplaceable. Her daughter, who doesn't know where to suffer, how can she let others enjoy everything that Bao'er deserves?

Looking at the thin and poor little girl in front of her, she seemed to see her daughter - with a yellow face and thin muscles, she was submissive. Jun's heart ached suddenly! With tears in his eyes, he gently beckoned the little girl to come over.

Ding Fang'er hesitated for a moment, and quietly cast her eyes on the handsome and tall prince of Zhenguo. She is the daughter of an ordinary peasant family in Dingwa Village, and her family has many children and is living in poverty. Since she was seven or eight years old, she has been helping the family with all kinds of work, making pigweed, lighting fires, cooking, and doing laundry. The family was too poor, and the eldest brother was almost twenty years old and had not yet married a daughter-in-law, so she voluntarily sold herself to be a maid and exchanged money for the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law.

The day after she was bought by someone's teeth, this god-like man came to her and asked her to pretend to be his young and lost little sister, and let her remember the fabricated life story. Later, she learned that this was a great general with great military achievements, the prince of Zhenguo. 、

The prince of Zhenguo promised her that if she did well and could make the Duchess of Zhenguo happy, he would arrange a good family affair for her in the future, prepare a rich dowry for her, and give her parents a sum of silver, so that their family could live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

Although Ding Fang'er was a little timid, the superior treatment made her muster up the courage and agreed to the request of the prince of Zhenguo. She knew that the youngest sister of the prince of Zhenguo was separated from her family when she was an infant. The Duchess of Zhenguo did not know what her daughter looked like. And the reason why she was chosen was that she had a pair of big eyes that were similar to the Duchess of Zhenguo.

Ding Fang'er was taken from that small town in the north to the bustling capital, and her heart was like a dream. Especially when I saw the towering and majestic Zhumen of Zhenguogong, the courtyards layered on top of each other, and the fairyland-like gardens, pavilions, and pavilions...... She pinched herself hard to make sure it wasn't a dream!

Under the service of several maids who were whiter and more beautiful than her, she washed and bathed, and changed into a dress that was even more gorgeous and beautiful than the county magistrate in the city. Standing in front of the mirror, looking at her unfamiliar self, Ding Fanger was in a very complicated mood. Huang Liang is a dream, she plays someone else's life. For a moment, she greedily thought: what if...... She is the lost daughter of the Chu family, how good it should be!

However, this thought was only fleeting. She knows that only by honestly playing her role well is the right way out for her. Silently recalling the words that she had already mastered, she was soon brought to the Duchess of Zhenguo.

The Duchess of Zhenguo is very beautiful, and her smile is very gentle, which makes people forget the tension unconsciously. Thinking of the mother at home who always shouted at her to do this and that, she felt that the lady in front of her was more in line with the definition of "mother" in her heart.

Jun took the little girl's hands. The small hands were rough and chapped, and the knuckles were red and swollen, and they looked like hands that had been working all year round. Her heart hurt again - will her daughter be like the little girl in front of her, who is suffering from poverty and hardship?

Ding Fang'er saw the Duchess of Zhenguo crying silently, and suddenly panicked, and looked at the prince of Zhenguo at a loss - what to do, she made the Duchess of Zhenguo cry!

Ding Fang'er whispered softly: "Husband...... Madam? ”

Jun wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and squeezed out a smile: "Silly boy, you should call me 'mother'." All these years, you have suffered! As he spoke, Jun choked up again. Through the little girl in front of her, she seemed to see her hard-working daughter, a daughter who had not been blessed for a few days after giving birth......

"No...... Fang'er is not bitter. Ding Fang'er kept in mind her mission - to make the Duchess of Zhenguo happy, and she recalled the remembered words in her heart, "Although the family is a little poor, my father and mother love me, my brothers let me, and my younger brothers and sisters are also obedient." Fang'er didn't feel bitter at all...... Mother, don't cry. ”

Hearing this, Jun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, showed a gentle smile, took her hand, and asked her how much land there was in her family, how many people, what she ate, and what she did every day. From the little girl's answer, she pieced together her daughter's life in the past twelve years.

Perhaps, her daughter's life will be better. When she entrusted her daughter to Lan Xiang, she hurriedly gave her jewelry and the silver she was carrying to the faithful maid. She knew Lan Xiang's temperament and would not do anything harsh to her daughter. With that money, Lan Xiang and her daughter should have more life than this little girl. Thinking like this, the gloom on Jun's brow dissipated a little.

Zhen Guogong and Chu Da rarely saw this, and their hearts were much more settled.

"Madame, it's time for you to drink your medicine!" Jun's eldest maid, Pan'er, came in with a bowl of warm boiled water and a porcelain bottle. She skillfully took out a pill from the porcelain bottle, pinched open the wax shell on the outside, and broke the pill into a fingernail-sized block. Jun took these medicines with warm water, rinsed his mouth, and showed a little fatigue between his eyebrows.

"Madam, you rest for a while, my daughter will settle down in the Pearl Pavilion first, and then come over to talk to you in the afternoon......" Zhen Guogong personally took the pillow behind Jun and asked her to lie down.

Jun grabbed his hand, shook his head lightly, and said, "Mingzhu Pavilion is too far away, and it is inconvenient for my daughter to come here." It's better to let Fang'er talk to her in the blue yarn cupboard next door to me, and it's convenient! ”

Pearl Pavilion, which sounds like the name of the attic, is actually a beautiful courtyard next to the main courtyard. Every flower and plant, every ornament, and every kind of furniture in it are selected and purchased by Jun's own hands, which is extremely exquisite, flashy but not luxurious, simple and extraordinary. Every object in the courtyard is poured into her deep thoughts and love for her daughter.

Pearl Pavilion, as the name suggests, takes the meaning of "pearl in the palm of your hand". Pearl Pavilion, only her Bao'er is qualified to live in it. Let Ding Fanger live in the blue yarn cupboard, on the surface, it seems that she loves her daughter and is reluctant to let her daughter leave her sight. The mystery of it, only the Jun family himself knows - how can the "fish eye" found by the husband's son be occupied by her dove and occupy the yard belonging to her daughter? If her daughter finds it back one day, where will she get a Pearl Pavilion for Bao'er?
