Chapter 20 Princess Mingchen
"Wow... wow..." Weeping softly and immaturely, a baby girl carved in pink and jade was sent to this world. Before the mother readily accepted and loved her, she wanted to leave quietly.The midwife and the imperial doctor sent by the palace tried everything they could, but they were unable to stop the blood gurgling from the inner palace...
The child gradually adapted to this world, buried in the warm breast of the wet nurse, and turned rosy little by little under the feeding of the milk; but the mother drained the blood in her body drop by drop, and her face became more and more pale like paper .Finally, the exhausted mother was not rescued, and before she died, she only cried and left a sentence: Sun, Moon, and Star, her name is Qiu Mingchen...
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Changwu, General Qiu Shan, who had accompanied Emperor Zhu Yi to fight across the country and was also a good brother of the Emperor before he ascended the throne, died heroically in the northern battlefield at the age of 36.
On April 29, the second year of Changwu, General Akiyama's wife, Yeshi, gave birth to a daughter, Qiu Mingchen, who also died of hemorrhage after giving birth. She was only 28 years old.
On the first day of May in the second year of Changwu, the emperor thanked General Qiushan, who had conquered almost half of the country and had great achievements in founding the country, and specially brought his young daughter into Weiyang Palace, where she was raised by the queen and conferred the title: Princess of the Ming Dynasty.
Time flies, stars change, in the autumn of 18th year of Changwu, Qiu Mingchen, who has been carefully raised by the royal family for 16 years, is already a slim girl, with fair appearance and moderate stature, but she is unruly and willful with a bad temper. Most people in the palace They don't even like her, so they keep them at a respectful distance, for fear of being fooled by her.
The emperor had already given her the Yixin Palace. The kind-hearted queen knew that her parents had both died since she was a child, and she was very pitiful, so she was very pampered, better than her own flesh and blood. Gradually, she developed a domineering attitude towards Mingchen. Temperament, the queen is also helpless about this, but she thinks that in the future, if she finds a well-matched person who can subdue her and marry, maybe her temper will be restrained, and her pet will be used to it, so she really can't bear to be strict with her.
On this day, Mingchen came up with a whim and decided to go to the Xishan Mountains in the suburbs of Beijing. Early in the morning, she dragged her best friend, Sixth Brother, and brought a few bodyguards to quietly leave the city. "Sixth Brother" is actually Six princes.The current prince Zhu Tianjun, the second prince Zhu Tianchen, the fourth princess Zhu Tianyu and the sixth prince Zhu Tianxi were all born to the empress, so the relationship with Mingchen is closer than the children born in the side palace.
Near noon, the group finally reached the peak of the first mountain range.His Highness the Sixth Highness and the guards, even though they often practiced martial arts, were a little out of breath, so they all sat or lay down to rest.Only in the morning, I don't know where I got so much energy, I went on to the edge of the cliff, stood silently on the high place, let the mountain wind blow my face, very comfortable, she put her hands in front of her mouth, and walked towards the depths of the mountain. Shouted loudly:
"Father...Mother...how are you over there..." Mingchen knew her own background since she was a child, and the queen never deliberately concealed it, fearing that it would be more difficult for her to accept it when she grew up.
Unexpectedly, impulsively, Xing headed up the mountain too fast, shouting loudly, suddenly showing the exhaustion of physical strength, and even a little dizzy.The dizziness didn't matter, but the place was wrong, it was on the edge of a high cliff, one didn't stand firmly, and fell straight down in the morning...

"Morning, morning! You finally woke up!"
Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was her beloved Zifan. She was filled with grief and joy for a moment, and she cried out:
"Zifan, it's really you..."
