In addition to the mountains and forests where bandits are entrenched, most of Ganzhou is plains, and it is not difficult to dig wells, but rivers are scarce. So even in the backyard of the rich and noble, there are few lakes.

The huge Zhang family is also in the corner of the garden, and a small pond is built one zhang square. Most of them are also used to place rockeries, and what can really accommodate you is the size of a tank, which can barely hide a person.

On the night of the Zhang family's accident, everyone was hiding in panic. The first thing that came to mind of this little Zhang girl was the small pond.

So she didn't hesitate to run over and jump in.

endured the cold autumn water, hid inside, and didn't dare to move.

Then, the rebels broke in.

burning, killing, plundering, adultery, and cruelty.

The screams and cries for help that night, but those who have experienced it will be indelible for the rest of their lives.

But the point of Miss Xiao Zhang's words is not this.

"I wasn't the only one who thought about it that night and came to the pond......"

There is a little seventh uncle,

There are five aunts and daughters,

There is also a second sister-in-law, she is still holding her two-year-old nephew, and she didn't say that she should let it go.

……

But they, after seeing the little girl Zhang hiding inside, all of them didn't say a word, turned around and ran.

The second sister-in-law was afraid that her son would shout out, so she covered the child's eyes and didn't let him see who was hiding inside.

But what surprised Miss Zhang the most was her third cousin.

She and this third cousin are only two months apart, because of the discord between their mothers, they have not been in the mood since childhood.

It can be said that water and fire are incompatible.

That night, by the pond, when the third sister saw her in the water, she was stunned for a long time. Then, the rebels found here.

Then the third sister, she was lying on the edge of the pond and was **.

She cried and begged for mercy.

But it has been blocking this small pond, and no one has found the sister in the water.

Until finally, before she died, she held a hosta in her hand, pushed it into the water, and pushed it into the arms of her sister in the water.

This is the third sister's most valuable jewelry given by the elders of the family two months ago. The third sister cherished it so much that she wasn't even allowed to look at it before.

But before she died, she gave her the hosta she cherished the most.

is still holding the pond tightly, so that most of the body is lying on the water, covering the cousin who is hiding in the water and has always been in a discordant relationship.

……

When Miss Xiao Zhang said this, most of the people in the hall, not only the female dependents, but even the palace maids and eunuchs, all cried.

Just like Gu Zan and Master Fang, men like them couldn't bear to turn their heads.

Emperor Yan Cheng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, and he forced himself to look at this girl who had not shed a single tear from beginning to end.

for these are his people, his people.

He had to look at her, remember the calamity she had bebound, and remember the responsibility on his shoulders!

And his eldest son, Min Bai, has a straight body, and his father has the same expression.

In the end, Miss Zhang raised her thin face, which was only the size of a palm, and looked straight at the king with a pair of black and white eyes, as if looking straight at that day, the dark night.

She still has a heavy filial piety on her, but she is not allowed to wear white when she enters the palace. can only wear a shallow and almost snow-white apricot pink dress, with her pale and thin face, just like an apricot blossom in the cold spring of February.

Faltering.

but he who is strong will not fall.

"Later, when it rained and the torrent came, the rebels set fire to it and ran away...... At that time, I dragged the third sister into the pond, hugged her, and spent the night......"

Then, there are still a few surviving clansmen of the Zhang family.

Someone is crazy,

Someone is disfigured,

There are also people who did not die in the war, but after the incident, they jumped into the well.

The living are also like a group of walking dead.

But Miss Zhang doesn't!

She didn't seek death, and she didn't go crazy.

After burying her cousin and her people, she desperately searched for all the food she could find, seizing every opportunity to live.

She had eaten rats, snakes, and even wild dogs.

Until the army of the imperial court came, she did not hesitate to find them, report her real name, and ask for help.

"My surname is Zhang!

I am the daughter of the Zhang family, the blood of the Zhang family!

No matter what the family went through, they raised me. In times of greatest crisis, my relatives, even if they are not so affectionate and not so harmonious. Each of them, sheltered me.

So I'm going to live, I'm going to live well for all of them, together!

However, because of what happened to the Zhang family, I lost my reputation.

Whether I'm innocent or not, people will always point fingers. And although the world is big, no matter where I go or where I marry, it will bring endless humiliation to others.

And I would never want to change my name or surname. So—"

She suddenly changed from kneeling to kneeling. To the king on the dragon chair, pay homage.

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world and the most powerful person in the world. Can the little girl beg you to give Zhang's daughter a decent and dignified way to live? If not, please give me a dignified death! ”

No!

Queen Xu was so shocked that she almost stood up in public!

No wonder this little Zhang girl is willing to obediently follow her into the palace, it turns out that her goal is not to marry a man at all.

She is going to marry His Majesty, the most powerful emperor in the world!

And such a girl who has experienced the death of the family, her heart is no less condensed than those old people who have experienced decades of wind and frost.

She can even be more stoic and tenacious than them.

In order to live, in order to live better, she will do everything.

As long as the emperor has half pity for her. Obviously, the emperor will definitely have it. He is a gentle person, otherwise he would not tolerate Concubine Xu Xian like this.

Then she will definitely become her biggest rival in the harem.

Empress Xu, who accidentally lured the wolf into the room, hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, either or arrange her in the palace of the concubines......"

But what can she do in her queen's palace?

The palace maid can't do it, it's too low. The emperor will definitely not allow it.

The female officials in the palace are all her henchmen, who is better?

After a little hesitation, Emperor Yan Cheng had already spoken.

"No need, place the Zhang family in another palace and seal the jade concubine. Ice clear jade, beautiful jade flawless jade! ”

This is the second concubine in the palace, in addition to Concubine Xu Xian.

Of course, among the four concubines, she is not yet on the turn.

But being able to get a jade character is already precious.

It is still a jade that is clear and clean, and a jade that is beautiful and flawless.

It was admitted by the emperor himself.

In the future, there will never be anyone who will take Miss Zhang, and now it is the past of Concubine Yu to talk about things.

No one in the palace dared to say it, and the folk discussion would not reach her ears.

"Emperor Xie Longen...... Thank you, Emperor Longen! ”

Miss Zhang, who has never shed a single tear, is in tears at the moment.
