This article is a historical novel. This time, there is no trampling or other content. It is just to explain the background. After all, this period of history is not an eye-catching era, and there are no heroes. Of course, there is nothing wrong with skipping this paragraph and reading it directly, even if it is a fiction. Below is the text.

In the 14th year of the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty (1449), during the Tumu Fort change, Ming Yingzong was captured, and his younger brother was regent in danger. Ming Yingzong’s son Zhu Jianshen was abolished in Jingtai three years ago, and left him. The maid Wan Zhener is wandering in the market, and sees a man who is a fortune teller. Wan Zhener feels something and asks for a divination. The master said: “Your life is so precious that you can’t say it. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and there are three thousand beauties in one.” Wan Zhen’er was overjoyed and never wanted to let her go. Hearing what the fortune-teller said, she became more determined to stay behind. In the next five years, she and the abolished prince stood alone, inseparable from each other, and fell in love with each other.

In the eighth year of Jingtai, Ming Yingzong seized the door and the crown prince was restored. Thinking of his love, Wan Zhen’er’s words were all obeyed. Or if the prince has an affair with Wan Zhen’er, the prince will kill him with jealousy, Wan Zhen’er is not angry but happy, and suddenly recalls the words of the hexagram, happily.

In the eighth year of Tianshun (1464), Emperor Yingzong collapsed, and Prince Zhu Jianshen came to the throne. He was Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to make Wan Zhen’er the queen, but the Queen Mother refused. At that time, the imperial concubine was thirty and five years old. Although Xianzong was only eighteen years old, she was lucky for the imperial concubine. In the second year of Chenghua, the imperial concubine gave birth to a son and died young. The imperial concubine was thirty and seven, and she was no longer born. However, it was also fortunate for Xianzong. Empress Wu was jealous of her, so she picked it up and held the court staff to blame. Wan Zhen’er cried and complained to Xianzong, was furious, abolished all the cold palaces of the Wu family, and established the Wang family as the queen.

One day, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty inspected the harem and saw Ji Shi, a young and beautiful court lady in charge of the royal storehouse. Fortunately, Ji Shi became pregnant in just one night. The court lady Ji was shocked, fearing that the imperial concubine Wan Zhener would be held accountable, but the deal was done, even if the child was reported to have fallen, her life would be lost, so it is better to fight him. In the palace, there are always female officials who check women’s menstruation to prevent infidelity. Because Ji was pregnant, her menstruation was cut off, but the female officer lied that Ji was sick, so she stopped her menstruation. But Wan Zhen’er was suspicious by nature, so she demoted Ji’s family to the cold palace. Seeing that Ji’s belly is getting bigger and bigger, the situation has become clear, but Wan Zhen’er doesn’t pursue it, and let it go.

In the sixth year of Chenghua (1470), the Ji family gave birth to Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty who later became the emperor, in Lenggong. The abolished Empress Dowager Wu led all the maids, and the servants guarded the door. Although the Wu family was abolished, the family was quite powerful in the court, and no one dared to act rashly, let alone kill the prince in full view. However, Wan Zhener sent WuEunuchs, guard the door of the delivery room, and anyone who delivers meals must be strictly checked and recorded. This is a method that everyone knows. The eunuch who guards the door holds arsenic in his hand, administers medicine during the inspection, and then blames Song Fancai after poisoning the person to death. Wu also had no choice but to strictly order his subordinates not to approach the delivery room, so as to implicate himself.

Ji looked at the rattling swords outside the house in horror, and was deeply worried about the fate of herself and her children. Just a year ago, the 4-year-old Crown Prince Mourning died in the palace for no apparent reason, while the biggest suspect, Wan Zhener, was unscathed. The house leak happened to rain all night, and due to fright and malnutrition, Ji had no milk. Looking at the hungry child who kept crying, not only felt sad.

Mrs. Ji went out of the room, saw Mrs. Wu, and said that there was no milk.

“Sister, don’t worry too much. My sister will help you find a way. Wan Zhen’er can’t do anything to me,” Wu comforted, and left helplessly.

Ji looked at the crying child in the room, and sighed, the child has not eaten or drank all day and night, it is midsummer, what should be done. For two hours, the child’s lips were chapped, and the crying continued for short periods of time. Suddenly, Mrs. Ji saw Mrs. Wu drifting towards him. She was overjoyed and rushed to meet her.

“It’s not polite to see Ben Gong, so casual.”

Ji Shi was surprised, why Wu Shi acted like this, but after thinking about it, she was already a thorn in Wan Zhen’er’s side, so it was no wonder Wu Shi acted like this.

“The golden lotus hasn’t been tied up yet, so I’m ashamed to go out. You are inconvenient, go and help Ji Jieyu.” Mrs. Wu winked at the two maids on the left and right, and the two maids went to remove Ji’s golden lotus and bound her feet again. Ji was originally the daughter of the chieftain of the Yue people. She didn’t bind her feet when she was young. When the South Vietnam rebellion was defeated, Ji was captured and sent to the palace as a slave. Her feet were only bound when she was 8 years old. The two maids put a bag of things in the sole of the foot, and then strangled it with a foot wrap. Mrs. Ji immediately understood Mrs. Wu’s good intentions, but the two maids did not hold back their hands and bound their feet with the greatest strength. Mrs. Ji couldn’t bear the pain, and beads of sweat and tears poured out.

Finally, when the entanglement was finished, Mrs. Wu grabbed Mrs. Ji’s neck and said softly, “The bag contains milk powder made by the Mongols using a secret method. Just wash it away with water. Back then Temujin used this as his army’s ration to conquer the world.”

Regardless of the pain in his feet, Ji climbed into the house anxiously, and took out the two packs of milk powder, but there was no water, and the child could not swallow it. Although the water in the tank outside the house was full, as long as it was brought into the house, it would be interrogated by the eunuch standing guard at the door, and the water in the tank could not guarantee that it was not poisoned.

The child could no longer cry and fainted. Ji’s heart sank, he poured urine into a bowl, mixed it with milk powder, and poured it into the child’s mouth. The child woke up immediately. Although the milky white milk had a strong smell of urine, the baby still swallowed heavily and even choked. Seeing the child drinking his own piss, Mrs. Ji suddenly had a feeling, a strange feeling, a little shy, but more excited, what a noble prince, maybe even the future emperor, actually drank his own piss. But mother immediately dismissedFor such a thought, the weather is sunny, but the child’s future does seem to be bleak.
