"In the second year of Hongwu, the emperor named the Zheng family as Concubine Li and lived in the Purple Smoke Pavilion."

"Princess Ningyang was born in the twenty-third year of Zhizheng, the specific birth date is unknown, and the place of birth is unknown." Julang continued to report.

Princess Ningyang was born in the Zhizheng period, which means that when she was born, Emperor Zhu was still leading the righteous army to fight in the south and north, and it was a difficult time for the war.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself lived a life of exile.

There's no way to set up a living quarter.

In the most difficult time for Emperor Zhu, Empress Ma gave birth to Zhu Biao, and he couldn't take care of it by his side. Later, when Zhu Biao was two years old, Queen Ma traveled to several dangerous areas, so she sent her son to him.

Both the queen and the crown prince are like this, not to mention an ordinary concubine, a daughter born.

"Didn't you record it afterwards?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, the record of the living room is related to the purity of the royal blood and the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, all records must be detailed and testified. "The living room said, "And the situation when Concubine Zheng gave birth to Princess Ningyang, everything is her side of the story, and she is a princess, so it is not recorded in the living note." ”

"It's only recorded in a separate booklet."

The living room is as rigorous and serious as the ancient historians.

In order to be truthful, they will do a lot of research before the verdict can be made.

That is to say, even the crown prince Zhu Biao, Yan Wang Zhu Di, and other princes born to Zhu Yuanzhang before the establishment of the dynasty have conducted many investigations and research in their living quarters after the fact.

Confirm that they are real royal blood, without adulteration and falsification.

When the doubt is too big, it is necessary to conduct a 'paternity test'.

However, because of the chaotic situation at that time, their research work was very difficult. The rigorous attitude of doing things is generally used on the prince, and they are not so concerned about the identity of the princess.

"Ningyang is our daughter, that's for sure." Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the past. At that time, it was his righteous son Zhu Yong who honored Concubine Zheng as a gift.

After venting, he immediately put the matter behind him and went to the front line to command the attack on Chen Youliang.

A year later, the next person reported to him that Concubine Zheng had given birth to a daughter for him. At that time, the war was tight, and he didn't care about such a trivial matter at all, and waved his hand to let the person who reported it retreat.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he remembered it and canonized the Zheng family as a concubine and his daughter as the princess of Ningyang.

Now that I think about it carefully, Zheng was in the army back then, and he was always guarded by the army, and there was no chaos in the middle, and the time was right, it was his biological daughter.

"Stand down." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Retire!"

"Let Liu Zhongzhen come in." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Soon, Liu Zhongzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked in the door.

"Intended!" Zhu Yuanzhang directly questioned Liu Zhong, "Princess Ningyang, marry Qin Yu one day." All the etiquette rules of the woman are handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and they must be handled in a big way. ”

"What? Princess Ningyang, you want to marry Mr. Qin!? ”

When Liu Zhongzhi heard this, his hands shook and he almost couldn't hold the pen.

Immediately knelt down to the emperor: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Empress!" ”

Qin Yu, a great talent, was finally won over by the emperor and became the emperor's own family. Many princes in the court and the officials of the feudal realm all wanted to use marriage to win over Qin Yu, but it had no effect.

Can't even find a way.

Unexpectedly, in the end, such a good thing was succeeded by the royal family.

You must know that Emperor Zhu has made a lot of efforts to this in the past, and sent Princess Ningguo to him, but Qin Yu is not interested in her. And today, a happy event suddenly fell from the sky.

"It's a great joy indeed." Emperor Zhu said happily.

It turns out that Mr. Qin likes Princess Ningyang, not Princess Ningguo! Liu Zhongzhi thought in his heart. But then I felt that something was wrong, Princess Ningyang seemed to be too young.

"Your Majesty, why is it Princess Ningyang and not Princess Ningguo?" Liu Zhong asked.

"Who are you asking this question?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Princess Ningyang's age...... It seems a little out of place. Liu Zhongzhi said again.

"Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, marry it first, and then talk about it, it will be his child daughter-in-law." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's draft a purpose." This will is given to Concubine Li, how to write it, you should be clear. ”

"The minister understands what the emperor means." Liu Zhong said.

Just now he heard the emperor say that he was marrying Princess Ningyang to Qin Yu, instead of marrying him, so he understood what the emperor meant. In other words, the tone of this decree cannot be condescending.

……

Purple Smoke Pavilion.

A beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in luxurious costumes, was bored and teasing the parrot in the cloister. Sure enough, her face is peerless, although she has given birth to a daughter, she is still a peerless beauty.

Although life in the palace is rich, it is really boring.

Although she is a concubine, she has only seen the emperor once. After giving birth to her daughter, she didn't even get a chance to sleep. No way, the family background is not as prominent as others.

Even the emperor did not show up in person when he canonized her as a concubine and her daughter as a princess.

It's just that a eunuch came and pronounced a holy decree.

Her daughter's name was also given by herself.

In ancient times, patriarchy was severe.

In ancient times, many princesses did not have official names, especially those from relatively humble backgrounds. For many of their lives, they have never seen their father's face.

The entire Purple Smoke Pavilion, except for a few palace maids who served her, seemed deserted.

She doesn't have a palace fight here.

gave birth to a daughter, who will fight with her?

Several palace maids dozed off in the inner room, and a little girl crouched on the desk to practice writing. Princess Ningyang reads and writes, and she also taught her personally, and there is no teacher.

She is ten years old.

The little lotus showed its sharp corners.

The food was a bit good.

The appearance is similar to that of her mother, and she is a beautiful woman who is alive.

For seeing the emperor again, and even being favored by the emperor, Concubine Zheng has no hope. Similarly, she has no hope for her daughter's future.

If nothing else, Princess Ningyang will be used by the emperor as a tool to entrap ministers after a few years of adulthood, and give marriage to the son of a minister.

As for the character of the minister's son, it was not in the emperor's consideration at all.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

At that moment, an elongated voice rang out.

When Concubine Zheng heard this, she was immediately excited in her heart, and immediately stood up from the railing.

The emperor's decree, she has not received it for three years.

And she guessed the content of the holy decree, most likely announcing that she would go to bed tonight. She has always obeyed the law in the palace, and she has not participated in the palace fight, so what else can the holy decree do besides letting her sleep?

No, why did the emperor suddenly remember to let me sleep?

Is it because I'm so beautiful?
