A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 109

“His Royal Highness.” After seeing His Royal Highness coming back, Jiuzhu dignifiedly pulled her to sit down at the table and asked carefully: “Have you encountered something unhappy?”

“A little bit unhappy.” Wang Chen sighed: “You said, if someone pretends to be the young me and says it’s your benefactor, what will you do?”

“I definitely won’t believe it.” Jiuzhu didn’t even think about it, and replied: “The queen mother is so beautiful. Just one glance at her makes it impossible to forget her beauty in a lifetime.”

“I was pretty good-looking back then, did you recognize me when I first met?” Wang Chen was a little bit sour.

“Men’s eighteenth change.” Jiuzhu looked away with a guilty conscience, not looking at Wang Chen: “Adults and children are still different, but I thought you were a little familiar at the time.”

“How much is a little bit?” Wang Chen raised his eyebrows and pointed his finger at his face.

Jiuzhu smiled and kissed where he was pointing: “So much.”

King Chen glanced at her length, okay, more than the funeral money paid to the “General General”.

“If there is no mother and concubine, only me? Other people pretend to be, what would you do?

“I won’t believe it.” Jiuzhu shook his head earnestly: “It is impossible for others to know how I was rescued back then. Every sentence and action may be exposed. If there is a fool who dares to impersonate…”

“how?”

“I sent him to ascend.”

“What a coincidence, in the last few days, someone has just pretended to be you.”

“Huh?” Jiuzhu blinked: “So you went out early today to do this?”

“Speaking of speaking, Dragon Guard also found an interesting thing.” Chen Wang said: “The person who pretended to be you, also named Ming, is from Lingzhou Ming’s family. Eleven years ago, he once lived in your house. For a while.”

Jiuzhu’s expression is complicated: “It turns out that it’s her…”

“Father-in-law and mother-in-law told you what happened back then?” Wang Chen saw that her expression was wrong and thought Jiuzhu was upset, so he hurriedly comforted her: “Father-in-law and mother-in-law are just picking her up. In their hearts, your daughter must be the most important. “

“Yeah.” Jiuzhu nodded: “In two days, I will go back and talk to my mother about this.”

If she didn’t treat her like a pearl and love her like her life, how could the mother discover that the little girl was a fake substitute only by instinct?

This woman pretended to be her twice in a row. Doesn’t she have a life of her own?

Ming Jisi and Ming Zhenyu were flustered, Eun Gong lost power, and feared Ming family revenge. For the next few days, they stayed in the yard and dared not go out.

After waiting for a few days, the powerful Ming family didn’t come to the door. After they gradually settled down, they dared to go out.

When I inquired outside, I just mentioned the Ming family’s daughter, and the people in the streets all started to talk.

“Daughter of Master Ming, you know, the pretty lady from the domineering prince’s house.”

“Hey, isn’t it the overbearing prince’s sharp treasure?”

“You are all talking nonsense, it is clear that it is a fairy going down to the earth, and you will have three lives with the fairy.”

Ming Zhenyu was dizzy when she heard it. Are these people in the capital thinking something abnormal?

“Girl, if you are interested, you can go to the teahouse and sit and listen. That’s a wonderful thing.”

Although Ming Zhenyu thought these people were not very good at it, she still went to the teahouse they said.

Why are the refreshments here so expensive? Are they made of gold? She glanced at the wealthy daughters who were dressed in silk satin, suppressed the reluctance in her heart, and ordered the cheapest tea and snacks.

In recent years, the family life has become more and more difficult. It is said that the three brothers of the Ming family used to send money to the clan every year to encourage the children of the family to study. Later, the three brothers separated from the family, and all the land bought by the three brothers for the clan was collected back, and then distributed to the local county government and the poor people.

It is precisely because of this that no one said that the three brothers are not, but countless people praised them for their noble character and kindheartedness.

In the past ten years, only one of the elder brothers in the family was admitted as a talent, and the other juniors were not successful. The Ming family, which was once prominent in Lingzhou, has since fallen.

It’s not that the clan elder didn’t try to ease the relationship with the three brothers, but they were determined to stop interacting with them.

After listening to the overbearing prince and Miss Qiao in the teahouse, Ming Zhenyu’s mind was a little confused. Nowadays, the three generations love is no longer popular, but the hundred generations love?

The phenomenon of comparison is becoming more and more serious, and even the plot of the story cannot be avoided.

Unexpectedly, the Ming family not only retrieved their daughter, but also allowed her to marry the most favored Chen Wang as the princess. If she hadn’t been debunked by Shen Ying, she was now the princess?

However, the rules of the royal family have always been very big. How can one let the superior prince marry a woman who has been living among the people for more than ten years and has an unknown past experience?

Could it be that the Ming family concealed something?

She inquired again, and it was clear to her. Things were as she had guessed. The Ming family claimed that Ming Jiuzhu was frail, so she was fostered in Taoist temple since she was a child, and only after life and death did she take her home.

Thinking of this, Ming Zhenyu sneered, and she had been living outside for more than ten years. Who knew that Ming Jiuzhu had come into contact with the ninth-rate stuff before entering Beijing?

The Ming family must be very scared of this and be known to others.

The crime of deceiving the emperor must be copied.

Mingjia.

When Shen Ying saw her daughter enter the door, she disgusted and said, “I just went home a few days ago, why are you here again?”

Before he finished his words, he held Jiuzhu’s hand: “What do you want to eat at noon, I’ll cook it for you, why didn’t Your Highness come with you?”

“His Royal Highness was called to Taiyang Palace by the emperor.” Jiuzhu read the names of several dishes, and took Shen Ying’s hand: “Mother, there is heavy cooking fume in the kitchen, you talk to your daughter.”

Seeing her daughter’s expression, Shen Ying guessed that she might have something to say to herself, and sat down with her: “Your father and brother are on duty today. It’s rare for us to talk to each other.”

The mother and daughter talked about daily life. Jiuzhu asked about the little girl who was sent by Ming’s family in Lingzhou to replace her eleven years ago.

“That little girl’s eyebrows are a little similar to your father. When you were just born, there was a mole on your forearm, and she also had a mole on her arm.” Shen Ying said with disgust when he mentioned the things that Ming’s family in Lingzhou did back then: ” When she got off the carriage back then, the first time I saw her, I felt that she had no fate with me.”

Jiuzhu held Shen Ying’s hand.

“You are different. When I saw you, I knew in my heart that this was my child.” The disgust was replaced by warmth: “Perhaps it is the influence of blood in nature, or God can’t bear our family for the country and the people. Many sacrifices were made, and the magpie’s nest had to be occupied by others, so I was reminded.”

Recalling the events of the past, Shen Ying was extremely indifferent to the Ming family in Lingzhou: “In order to entrust them to promise to support you, we gave them all the valuable things in our body. Since your grandfather’s generation, every year you can’t get them. Going to Lingzhou with little money, we thought they would look at their love for these years and take the money to support you. We didn’t expect that they would take the money and abandon you in the wilderness.”

In the last year of Xiande, the world was chaotic, and a child who was less than a month old was thrown into the wild. How many hopes would he survive?

Shen Ying hated the Ming family in Lingzhou. If it hadn’t been for the thought of his majesty’s accession to the throne, he needed courtiers’ assistance. The two of them would rather not care about the mundane words and ruin the entire Ming family in Lingzhou.

However, without the protection of their line, the Ming family in Lingzhou declined within a few years, and there has been no such thing as the Ming family in Lingzhou for a long time.

When people all over the world mentioned the Ming family, they only thought of the Ming family in the capital city.

“Mother, I received a message that the little girl who came to Beijing pretending to be me has entered Beijing.”

“She still dare to come?” Shen Ying sneered: “We didn’t settle accounts with them, they even sent it to the door.”

“She came to meet her benefactor. When she was eight years old, she fell into the Huaxi River and was rescued by her benefactor.”

Shen Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted: “She actually pretended to be you again?!”

“Mother is not angry, father, queen, mother, and your Royal Highness have already known about this.” Jiuzhu poured a cup of tea to Shen Ying: “Daughter is now a relative of the emperor, posing as a relative of the emperor, implicating the three clans. After 50 In 1970, the descendants of the Ming family in Lingzhou were unable to participate in the imperial examination.”

Hearing this, Shen Ying was a little surprised.

The daughter has a gentle personality and rarely gets angry, and even her tone of voice has the gentleness that is unique to Lingzhou. This is really not like what she said.

“Master said that the cultivator pays attention to repaying grievances by virtue. Dacheng statutes are virtue, and if a daughter uses Dacheng statutes to deal with this matter, it is tantamount to repaying grievances with virtue.” Jiuzhu’s smile was innocent and pure and kind: “If you don’t follow Dacheng statutes, it’s a big rebellion. Justice, Grandpa Sanqing is here, and he will witness his daughter’s deeds of good deeds.”

Shen Ying opened her mouth and closed it silently.

Good one repays grievances with virtue, supports justice, accumulates virtue and does good.

There is nothing wrong with it.

“Princess, Madam, there is a visitor outside saying that it is an old friend, and I want to talk to my wife.”

Jiuzhu looked at the steward of the message: “Is it a man or a woman, how old is it?”

“Back to the princess, the person here is about a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman.” The lady in charge said: “She has no greetings. The origin is unknown. The old woman thought privately that it would be better not to see her.”

“A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman?” Jiuzhu and Shen Ying looked at each other and thought of a person at the same time.

“Let her in.” Jiuzhu smiled: “I am also very curious about what kind of person this girl who dared to pretend to be a relative of the emperor.”

Stepping into the gate of the Ming family, Ming Zhenyu glanced over this house that had appeared countless times in her memory. The tall tree in my memory doesn’t seem to be that sturdy, but the people still seem taciturn.

Before stepping into the main hospital, she hesitated for a moment.

Back then, she stood here, listening to Shen Ying’s doubts, and never stepped into this yard ever since.

“Girl, please follow me.” The steward leading the way called her.

“Sorry, I haven’t been here for many years, I almost forget what it looks like.”

She thought that the steward would ask when she had been here, but the steward just leaned slightly to her, and then led her to continue walking inside.

Entering the door, she looked at Shen Ying, who was sitting up high, with a happy smile on her face: “Little girl Ming Zhenyu, I have seen my wife. Eleven years have passed, how is my wife?”

“Ming Zhenyu?” Shen Ying took a sip from her teacup, turned her head and asked Jiu Zhu, “Does our family have such a relative?”

Jiuzhu shook his head: “My daughter never heard you mention it.”

The smile on Ming Zhenyu’s face froze. She thought that Shen Ying would be shocked, angry, or upset when she heard her name, but she didn’t react at all, but she didn’t even remember who she was.

She doesn’t believe that Shen Ying can’t remember her name!

“Why madam pretends, the little girl called you a mother back then.” Ming Zhenyu looked at Ming Jiuzhu who was sitting next to Shen Ying: “It seems that Madam found her biological daughter and forgot my fake daughter.”

“Since you know that yours is a fake, why bother to be ashamed of me in front of me?” Shen Ying said with a cold face, “When you were young, I sent you back to Lingzhou. Now you have grown up.” , Only hit it with a broom.”

Unexpectedly that Shen Ying’s words were so unpleasant, Ming Zhenyu could no longer suppress the anger in her heart: “I dare to stand here, and I won’t be afraid of your revenge.”

Jiuzhu laughed out loud.

Ming Zhenyu turned to look at her: “What are you laughing at?”

“Oh, nothing.” Jiuzhu shook his head innocently, holding the tea cup, looking innocent and ignorant: “You continue to say, don’t worry about me.”

Any ruthless words must be said in one go, and if it is planned halfway, the momentum will fall.

Ming Zhenyu was stunned by Jiuzhu with an expression of “You continue to say, I want to watch the excitement”, she was so embarrassed, she held back for a while, and then revealed the purpose of coming to Ming’s house today: “I know your secrets.”

“What’s the secret?” Jiuzhu couldn’t help asking, but she wasn’t asking Ming Zhenyu, but Shen Ying.

Shen Ying shook her head slowly: “I don’t know.”

Could it be…

She frowned slightly, did she know the true level of Jingzhou and Jiuzhu’s painting skills?

“Your husband and wife are bold enough to deceive the royal family, so you don’t worry that the secret will eventually be leaked?” Ming Zhenyu frowned when she saw Shen Ying, and said triumphantly: “To deceive the emperor is a capital crime.”

Shen Ying raised her eyes to look at Ming Zhenyu, only to brag about her painting skills, how could she be deceived?

Their Ming family did not rely on painting skills to conquer the royal family.

Shen Ying was silent, and Ming Zhenyu asked confidently: “Shen Ying, over the years, because you drove me out of the capital, I have suffered countless scorns and ridicules. Have you ever thought about my life?”

“The culprit who made you ridiculed and blinded is not me, but the greedy and shameless Lingzhou Mingjia.” Shen Ying sneered: “Why should I care about how a liar is doing?”

“I’m a liar, what are you guys?” Ming Zhenyu pointed at Jiuzhu: “You conceal her origins and ask her to marry the royal family to please the emperor and the queen, and enjoy the glory and wealth. Isn’t it a lie?”

Jiuzhu held the teacup tightly, slowly widening his eyes: “Huh?”

Her origin?

The Wuming Taoist Temple of Wuming Mountain in Lingzhou is indeed a bit shabby, but their family didn’t hide it from the royal family.

“Shen Ying, an hour later, I am waiting for you in Changfengpo in the western suburbs. I hope your mother and daughter will come with sincerity.” After speaking, she turned and left.

After she left, Jiuzhu remained silent for a long time: “Mother, is she here to fight the autumn wind?”

And playing so confidently and aggressively, it’s no wonder that he can do things like impostors.

Ming Jisi waited for a while at the gate of the Ming family, and saw Ming Zhenyu come out: “Is the matter clear to their family?”

“I made an appointment with them to meet in Changfengpo, the western suburbs, and talk to them at their house. I am afraid that I will suffer.

“What can I lose?” Ming Jisi lost interest when he saw that his sister hadn’t gotten the benefits: “You go to Xijiao and wait, and come back early to cook dinner. Your benefactor’s old lady made a meal. I can’t eat it. used.”

Ming Zhenyu endured forbearance and nodded after a long while: “Okay.”

Half an hour later, the king of Chen came to Ming’s house to pick up Jiuzhu and returned to the palace. He heard that Jiuzhu had gone to Changfengpo in the western suburbs and turned around to Changfengpo.

Changfengpo is famous for its strong wind, Jiuzhu and her mother-in-law went here to make the wind shave?

“Mother, it’s windy outside, don’t go out.” Jiuzhu lifted the curtains and glanced at the grass on the top of the hill that was toppled by the wind. “Wait for her to come to us.”

Seeing the Ming family carriage approaching, Ming Zhenyu hurriedly set up a mysterious sitting posture and waited for Shen Ying’s mother and daughter to come up. But when her waist was sore and her legs hurt, there was no movement in the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

What do you mean, playing with her?
