I heard that there was a great drought in the west of Donghu, and we couldn't find a water source for dozens of miles, so we changed the route halfway, entered from the east of Donghu, and went to Beiyu through its border.

We avoided the drought, the cracked land, and the dry water grounds, but we never expected to encounter wolves, and they were packs of steppe wolves.

Most of the eastern part of Donghu is still green and grassy, and when he first stepped on the grassland, Sun Denglan, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty who led the way, breathed a sigh of relief, and he would reach Yujian, the capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom, two and a half months faster than the original route.

In fact, His Royal Highness did not blame General Sun for his misjudgment, after all, no one thought that Donghu would be in the year and a half of the country drought in the year and a half of the princess's marriage, General Sun asked Her Royal Highness the princess for the first time and evening, and then asked for peace, and kept saying that he had mistaken the good day of entering the national capital, I know, in fact, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't care about the good day and bad day at all, and what she was worried about was her biological mother Chen.

The night before we left Liangzhu, she asked me to go to see her mother, and she naturally couldn't go in person, and the princess who wanted to kiss must not let people get sick, even if this person was her mother.

The night I went to see Chen Meiren, she had countless pustules on her body, just like the toad I saw in the pool behind the Langya Hall when I was a child, and I heard that this kind of pustules can infect people.

The doctor tried his best to cut open the newborn pus every night, and cleaned her wounds with clean dew, but the next day there were countless pus, and I didn't dare to tell Her Royal Highness the princess when I went back, but said that her mother was still resting, and I took a look at it and was taken out by the palace maid.

When I returned to my mother's dormitory, I dragged the words out, and my mother put down her work, and as if she had not heard what I had just said, she looked out the window at a pine tree for a long time, and then she said, "What can I do if I don't live long?" ”

I was still young at the time, and I couldn't hear my mother's voice, I only felt that she seemed to have tears in her eyes, and when she turned around, I realized that I was wrong, and my mother didn't cry for Chen Meiren.

She can't feel sorry for Chen Meiren, among the seven concubines of the Southern Wei Dynasty, the lowest status is my biological mother Yuan, she has suffered much more than this Chen beauty, but she has never screamed, which is like that Chen beauty, the knife has just been burned by the imperial doctor and brought to her before she starts to move the knife, she screams not like a person, shouting for His Majesty to come and see her.

His Majesty did not come, she waved her hand and smashed a pair of two-color glazed white-born long-necked pottery bottles, the fragments fell at my feet, the palace people thought they were scared of me, in fact, my surprised moment was distressed, distressed porcelain pieces all over the ground, my mother liked to collect white-tire pottery the most, but unfortunately the Southern Wei Dynasty Shaobai porcelain, the only one on the royal family, was also given by His Majesty to the concubine and several other favored beauties.

I should have followed my brothers and sisters to call Your Majesty my father, but the eldest concubine didn't allow it, my mother was a tribute girl of a small tribe in the west of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and it was no different from the white porcelain that came over as tribute, at least in their eyes.

My mother's low status also affected me and my brother, and I didn't get the title of lord until I was eleven years old, and my sisters and sisters were born with those.

The daughter of the eldest concubine was crowned Princess Jingru at the age of three, which is understandable, she is a princess, Chen Meiren was extremely favored when she was young, her girl was born a beauty billet, His Majesty often held her on his knees to feed her, Chen Meiren is good at music, she can dance within three steps, my mother said that Chen Meiren has a pair of jade feet, pointe flowers, and later His Majesty named Chen Meiren's child Wenyin, this sound comes from the sky, ask where in the world?

I thought that apart from the eldest princess, his favorite was the third princess who asked for a sound.

After all, when we were studying the palace rules together, the top bottle was supported by the book, and His Majesty did not allow the grandmothers to "abuse" the three princesses again, and the third princess was also named a princess by His Majesty when she was seven years old, and she personally drafted the title, Princess Jinglu.

Xiao Qi Xiaojiu and I were standing next to the third princess, also sweating profusely under the sun, he never cared about it, he would only cover the eyes of the third princess with his sleeves, but he was afraid that the sun would burn Princess Jinglu's bright eyes.

My mother is His Majesty's fifth concubine, I am the fifth among His Majesty's daughters, my brother is fifth among the princes, my mother sometimes laughs, and our mothers and five are on the bar.

Princess Jinglu has always been the most favored, no one would have thought that His Majesty would let her go to Northern Qi to make peace, the day the holy decree was issued, everyone in the palace was surprised.

Although the Northern Qi Dynasty is rich, it is thousands of miles away from home, and if you want to come back in your lifetime after marrying, there is no way out.

Coincidentally, Chen Meiren fell ill the day after the decree came, and during the months she was about to get married, Princess Jinglu spent most of her time taking care of her mother.

I like Princess Jinglu very much, it has not changed since I was a child, after Chen Meiren was sick, the concubine immediately blocked her Siru Palace, in fact, she did not block and no one went to visit Chen Meiren, she has always been arrogant and domineering and Jiaoren fell ill, I don't know how many people's hearts, only my mother, let me visit her secretly, I don't like Chen Meiren, but I like Princess Jinglu, so I happily agreed to my mother.

This is just the beginning, my mother not only asked me to visit her, but later asked me to bring a lot of jujube mud balls to Chen Meiren, every time Princess Jinglu received it, I think, Chen Meiren has not fallen to the point where she can't afford to eat jujube mud balls, but my mother insisted that I send them, just like that, Jinglu and I slowly began to talk.

In the past, she was a phoenix bird in the tops of the sycamore treetops, and she couldn't fight with me, but since her mother was sick, she was no longer a sacred bird in the treetops, and could only go down to the mortal world to play with me.

Jinglu can read a lot of poems, and she can go to the Zunde Hall with a few other princesses to study with Mr. Xiu, who was His Majesty's former teacher.

Later, His Majesty became His Majesty, and ordered him to teach the princes and princesses, and I did not have the privilege of being with them, and I was very sad all day listening to the sound of reading coming from the Zunde Hall from afar.

My mother comforted me and said that one kind of person has its own way of living, but I just felt sad why I could get what I wanted without much effort for others, but I didn't even have the opportunity to work hard.

Jinglu was not favored, I was vaguely happy in my heart, so that she could play with me all the time in the future, after telling my mother this, my mother gave me a backhand slap, which made my ears ring.

She said, when did I teach you to gloat! I wanted to tell her that I wasn't gloating, I just, just wanted to fight grass with her, fight crickets, enjoy the coolness, and eat melons. I like this sister very much.

My mother did teach me a lot of things, the first thing she taught me was to take other people's words to heart, and she taught me by her own example.

Every time I say something to her, whether it is good or bad, she will take it to heart, for example, I said, I want to go to Zunde Hall with Princess Jinglu and them, she will let my brother come back early after class, and teach me what I learned in class today, so I know the hundred generals of the Southern Wei Dynasty, the customs of the countries, and the great rivers between several countries......

His Majesty sometimes makes the children of meritorious heroes the lords, and most of these meritorious heroes will find teachers for their daughters, teach poetry and history from an early age, and not to mention literacy.

I'm a child of His Majesty, and I can't find a decent teacher to read and write, but fortunately my brother is very patient, and what he learns during the day will slowly teach me at night, otherwise—otherwise I can't read the book of words outside the palace, Persona, and Yeyanji......

My brother said that I would suffer a big loss sooner or later, and he didn't tell my mother about the decent books I read, and I was very grateful to him, but as soon as he said this about me, I swallowed all the words in my mouth.

Your Majesty asked Princess Jinglu to pick a happy woman, she picked me, which I expected, I had to send her to Northern Qi and then return to Southern Wei with the rest of the escort team.

Your Majesty looked at me a few times, and didn't seem to recognize who I was, I was thirteen years old, but this Southern Wei Imperial Palace was so big, in the thirteen years, I saw him only a handful of times, and the number of times he came to see my mother was also very rare.

The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty believed in the bloodline and the gods of the Nine Qian, the original Seven Kingdoms, the Great Zou, the Later Wei, the Northern Yu, the Li'er, the Boxi, the carving, the Donghu, were all believers in the Nine Qianshen, and later the Great Zou destroyed the Later Wei, and after a few decades of leaving the ear and swallowing the Later Wei to establish the Southern Wei.

Regardless of whether the country is destroyed or not, the kings of these new countries always value the bloodline of the Seven Kingdoms, even if his concubine is the princess of the dead country, as long as she is a descendant of the previous dynasty, she is worthy of the title of any concubine, on the other hand, other small tribes, even if they are smeared with the royal family on the battlefield, a sentence of impure blood, the woman who pays tribute can only become the side room of the concubine, my mother is in such an embarrassing situation.

I was afraid that His Majesty would not recognize me, so I first reported to my family and said: "Your Majesty Duo'an, the little girl is the daughter of the Yuan family, arrogant, ten ...... this year"

He interrupted, "That's it, that's it, you want her to follow you, but when you come to Yujian, you must not be presumptuous, and you must not forget your identity." He said to Princess Jinglu.

I'm also his daughter, but he doesn't want to hear me even a complete sentence.

"You must follow the princess, you must prepare your shirts and clothes, and the road is bumpy, so you must not let the princess get cold." But he said it to me.

I was wrong, I thought that Jinglu was already the same as me, and His Majesty no longer favored her, but when I came to him, I knew that he still cared about this daughter in his heart, and I was also his daughter, but in his eyes, I was just an ordinary palace person.

I lowered my head and hid my grievances, my mother didn't know how many grievances she swallowed for me and my brother in such a palace, I couldn't embarrass her, "Yes, the little girl understands." ”

Later, I came out of Jinglu and heard Jinglu and His Majesty say, Jiao'er is the master of the five Weng, I didn't hear what His Majesty said, but he won't talk about me after all, he looks down on my mother's background the most, my brother is a man, he may raise his eyes to see once, but I'm just a woman, an insignificant woman, just like my mother.
