After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

It was because this child was so extraordinary that he ignored his age.

He even felt that this child might have some magical powers.

Because he vaguely heard the child mention something about "spiritual power".

He must treat such an extraordinary child well.

Emperor Ming no longer hesitated and said, "I have a liking for this child, so I will give her a name in advance. What do you think?"

It was a great honor for her to be given a name by the emperor himself before she was even one month old. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Ming's sister, Princess Huiyang, had this honor.

Qu naturally nodded in agreement.

"How about calling her Ming Rong? The word Rong comes from the phrase "melting moon over the pear blossom courtyard, and gentle breeze over the willow catkin pond." I think it's a good idea."

Qu was immediately surprised.

"Ming" is the name of the country, and Your Majesty will be called Emperor Ming when he ascends the throne.

Even the name of Princess Huiyang, the late emperor's favorite, deliberately avoided the country's name and the emperor's title.

Qu was so frightened that she knelt down.

"How can I bear this word? Your Majesty, please embarrass us!"

Queen Qu was also surprised.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about homophones?"

"No, I mean the Ming in Ming Dynasty. I gave this name to this child because I saw that he is a blessed person. You don't have to panic."

"This……"

"Why? I gave you this name, and you don't like it?"

The Emperor Ming was asking about Qu, and there was already a hint of unhappiness between his brows.

Qu knelt down quickly.

"That's not what I meant. I just..."

She wanted to refuse, but she saw Queen Qu shaking her head gently at her.

Qu could only express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Qianqian is able to receive this honor because of Your Majesty's great grace. Our whole family will remember your Majesty's kindness."

Only then was Emperor Ming satisfied.

He glanced at Wen Qianqian. The little baby seemed to be very sleepy, but he tried hard to keep his eyelids open, which made him smile.

Emperor Ming smiled, and Qu was relieved.

……

Changchun Palace.

Defei was reciting Buddhist scriptures with her eyes closed, when suddenly the string of the Buddhist beads in her hand broke and the beads rolled to the ground one by one.

She raised her eyelids, vaguely a bad omen.

"My lady, I will help you pick it up..."

The old nanny stepped forward but was rejected by Concubine De.

"No need, I can do it myself. Go get some rice. I haven't picked up any rice today."

Defei's daily life was very simple. After getting up in the morning and finishing her meal, she would first copy a scroll of scriptures.

Then start chanting sutras and collecting rice.

Picking up Buddhist rice means kneeling on a cushion and picking up a grain of rice every time you recite a Buddhist scripture.

The Buddhist rice must have been offered.

Concubine De would pick up half a bowl of Buddhist rice every day. On the day when the eldest prince was made crown prince, she picked up a whole bowl of Buddhist rice.

Over time, she developed back pain, but it never went away.

Everyone in the palace knew her piety and her indifference to the world.

This time, His Majesty will certainly do the same as before. No matter what happens, he will not suspect her as a Buddhist.

However, this time, he had only picked up three grains of rice when a noisy sound was heard outside.

"Your Highness is reciting scriptures, what is the matter with you, Eunuch Zhao?"

"Of course it's something important. Please ask the Empress Defei to come out!"

"Your Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed when she is reciting sutras, so Eunuch Zhao might as well wait for a moment."

"Haha, this matter can't wait today."

Concubine De frowned.

"Who is making noise outside?"

The old nanny went to open the door, but saw Zhao Baozheng beside Emperor Ming looking at her with a smile.

Behind Zhao Bao, there were two imperial guards.

One of the guards said, "Please ask Madam Defei to come out. His Majesty wants to see you."

The tone can be said to be quite impolite.

Zhao Bao turned his head and reprimanded the guard: "The Empress Defei is the mother of the Crown Prince. You must not be presumptuous."

"Yes……"

"Empress Defei, your servant Zhao Bao is here to ask you to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity on the orders of His Majesty."

Concubine De heard everything going on outside clearly.

She put the Buddhist rice away and stood up from the mat, without a trace of panic on her face.

She is now assisting in the management of the six palaces, and all the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to go through her hands. If they go to her, they should just go through the procedures and ask a few questions, so she is not panicked at all.

"Eunuch Zhao, why is His Majesty so anxious?" She walked to the door and asked even though she knew the answer.

Eunuch Zhao smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."

"Let's go then!"

Concubine De asked the old nanny to support her.

However, just as she took two steps, Zhao Bao stood in front of her again, looking very apologetic.

"Anything else?"

Zhao Bao smiled and said, "My lady, I am here on His Majesty's orders to 'tie' you over. Please stretch out your hands and don't make it difficult for me."

Defei raised her eyelids, and her peaceful face finally revealed an expression that was different from usual.

"What did you say?"

She could hardly believe her ears.

Zhao Bao repeated it again patiently.

"His Majesty said that I should personally tie you up. Madam Defei, I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he raised the whisk in his hand, and the two guards behind him stepped forward to tie up the man.

"Ridiculous! How can this be possible! This is the Empress Defei!"

The old nanny became anxious and quickly stood in front of Concubine De.

"My queen is the mother of the prince. How dare you kidnap her? Aren't you afraid that the prince will find out and...?"

"Aunt Qiu!"

Concubine De has regained her composure.

"They are also acting on orders, don't make things difficult for them."

"But……"

"Madam Qiu, don't you want to listen to me?"

Nanny Qiu had no choice but to shut her mouth, but she was extremely angry inside and stared at the two guards.

She wants to remember their faces, the queen will not let them go!

"Thank you, Empress Defei, for your consideration. Don't worry, we will only tie you up gently and won't hurt you." Zhao Bao said, giving the two guards a look.

The two guards bypassed Nanny Qiu and tied up Concubine De's hands with hemp rope.

It was just a formality, with the clothes tied lightly on the hands, but it still caused many palace maids and eunuchs to gossip about it along the way.

Concubine De had lost all her face along the way.

But she was neither humble nor arrogant, as if her hands were not tied at all, and she was still as calm and gentle as before.

Seeing this, Zhao Bao couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of what Zhang Shun from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

However, Defei's confidence all came from her trust in Zhang Shun.

She was sure that Zhang Shun would not betray her, and would not dare to betray her.

As long as she keeps calm, today's events will soon be over.

After a stick of incense, Concubine De finally arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, Concubine De saw Zhang Shun kneeling on the ground, writing something quickly.

She turned a blind eye, pretending that she was not familiar with Zhang Shun, and walked up the steps without looking around and entered the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

There was a crowd of people standing in the hall, including... the queen who had not been seen for a long time.

"Your Majesty, may you be well. Your Majesty, may you be well too."

Even with her hands tied, Concubine De was still as decent as before, and greeted the two people at the top one by one.

Wen Qianqian, who was extremely sleepy, suddenly raised her eyelids, and her little face was full of excitement about eating melon.

[Here she comes, the most pretentious woman in the entire harem is here! 】

[Don't mention it, don't mention it, he really looks kind and benevolent. ]

[But how could you know that the number of lives she has taken could pile up into a mountain! ]
