The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Soon after the Chinese New Year.

Zhou suddenly sent a letter and came to the door.

After graduating from high school last year, he went to the Hanlin Academy, and later worked in the Qinglisi of the Ministry of Revenue. Mingjin heard that he has now been promoted to the Qinglisi, a fifth-rank deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Because of his honest conduct.

Another student of Mr. Meng.

He is very influential among these newly appointed young officials.

The older Mingjin gets, the more physical discomfort she has.

The weather has been very cold recently, so she was too lazy to go out on weekdays. She always stayed in the house, chatting with Hua Sui and the others, reading or painting, or throwing a ball of wool to Rui Xue and watching it run around the house.

No one knew why Zhou Que suddenly came to visit today, but Ming Jin still received him.

Today, my grandmother returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Ming Jingheng's wife, his current sister-in-law, was also found to be pregnant.

It happened that the weather was clear today, and my grandmother made a special trip back home when she heard about this.

It’s a good opportunity to see her two granddaughters-in-law as well.

Last year, my second brother also married Miss Xu.

Now he is in the officialdom and has also entered the Dali Temple.

Because it had just stopped snowing, the snow on the ground had not completely melted yet. Aunt Pei was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to travel, so Ming Jin asked someone to invite Zhou Que directly to her yard and met him while sitting outside.

"Master Zhou, please come in."

"Thank you."

Ming Jin was sitting in the house drinking tea when he heard a deep male voice coming from outside.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young official in a blue official robe coming in from outside.

It is still the end of the year and the weather is still cold.

Zhou Que wore a cloak over his official robe to keep warm, but when he was still outside, he took off the cloak and gave it to the maid who served beside him, so as not to bring the severe cold outside in.

Seeing the look in Mingjin’s eyes.

However, Zhou only looked at her for a moment and then immediately lowered his eyes.

"princess."

He lowered his head and greeted Mingjin.

Two years have passed, and Zhou Que is now almost eighteen years old.

It was the stage of transition from youth to young adulthood. His voice was noticeably deeper than before, and he looked much taller.

Ming Jin has rarely met Zhou Que since he returned to Beijing last year.

Both are busy.

Besides, at this moment, she had no other thoughts.

Seeing this suddenly, Ming Jin couldn't help being dazed as he saw that his face was becoming more and more like that in his previous life, but there was no longer a hint of sinisterness between his eyebrows and eyes as before.

Until Hua Sui's voice came from beside me.

"master."

Ming Jin came back to her senses and realized that Zhou Que was still standing outside and hadn't come in. She hurriedly said, "Come in and sit down."

Zhou then responded and came in.

He sat opposite Mingjin and said thank you again when he took the tea brought by the servant.

Ming Jin and the others finished serving tea and snacks, and then asked him, "There's not much work to do today? Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place?"

Zhou said, "I took a job today."

"Ok?"

Ming Jin looked puzzled, and didn't understand why Zhou Que took the job and told her about it.

He is now not only Mr. Meng's favorite student, but also the heir of the Meng family. Not to mention that the officials in the Ministry of Revenue dare not make things difficult for him, even if there are people who really need help, there are still many people willing to help him.

It's not like he's here to ask her for help.

However, Zhou quickly solved her doubts.

"We are going to Jiayuguan to transport supplies." Zhou added.

Zhou glanced at Ming Jin's eyes that suddenly widened, but he continued to lower his eyes, stroking the wall of the tea with his fingertips. He continued to finish what he had said before: "Because I am leaving today, I came to ask you if there is anything you need me to pass on to the prince."

Of course there is!

Mingjin has made several sets of clothes and shoes for Gu Mingheng recently.

She had originally been thinking of sending someone to ask who the court was going to send this time and when they would set off so that she could hand these things over, but she didn't expect Zhou to come.

"Wait a minute, I'll go clean up." Ming Jin said as he stood up immediately.

She was so excited that she forgot that she was a double. When Aunt Pei and Hua Sui saw this, their faces changed in shock.

One person per side.

He quickly held her arm.

Zhou saw that she had stood firm, and then he retracted the hand that he had extended subconsciously earlier.

Aunt Pei also shouted: "My dear girl, please don't be so rash. What if you get bumped?"

Then he said to Mingjin, "You stay here and talk to Lord Zhou. I and Huasui will go in and pack your things."

After hearing her say this, Ming Jin did not refute.

She was helped to sit down, and she told them a few places, and also told them to remember to take the letters she had written to Yixian recently on the desk. After she gave all the instructions and waited for them to go and get the things, Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief and took another sip of tea.

"Why are you sent there suddenly?"

Mingjin asked Zhou Que.

This kind of job has always been done by minor officials, but Zhou's current status does not allow him to do such a hard job.

Zhou continued to stroke the tea wall and said, "The teacher asked me to practice more."

After listening to this, Ming Jin didn't think much about it. She just thought that Mr. Meng was really trying to train Zhou Que to make his resume look better.

Little did they know that this was actually Zhou Que's own request.

When Mr. Meng heard this, he frowned.

Ming Jin added: "I was busy last year and didn't have time to congratulate you on your graduation."

Zhou shook his head and said it was okay.

Neither of them was a talkative person, and after a few words, Aunt Pei and the others packed their bags and came out.

"Master, please take a look at these. Are they all complete?"

Hua Sui brought something to show Ming Jin.

Ming Jin carefully looked through them one by one to make sure that everything she prepared for Gu Mingheng was there without any omissions. She then withdrew her hand and said, "That's all. Pack it carefully. The weather in Jiayuguan is not good."

Hua Sui agreed and took it aside to continue packing.

Ming Jin turned around and asked Zhou Que: "When are we leaving? If you are not in a hurry, you can have lunch at the palace first. It is almost time for lunch now."

Zhou refused: "No, I still have to report to the government office."

This was the time for him to take some time off. After getting his things, he would go back to the Ministry of Revenue and prepare to set off with the large group.

Mingjin didn't insist either.

Zhou probably didn't have much time, so she was grateful to him for making the special trip, so she asked him to wait and called Brother Ying over.

Brother Ying is good at Qinggong.

Mingjin asked her to go to the kitchen to pack some food so that she could take it with her and eat it on the way.

"Need not……"

However, Zhou found it troublesome and refused out loud.

But Ying Ge always listened to Ming Jin. As soon as Ming Jin finished giving his instructions and Zhou Que started talking, she had already jumped lightly and left the yard like a bird.

The words Zhou Quena hadn't finished speaking were suddenly stuck in his throat.

Ming Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw his silence.

She suppressed her smile and said to Zhou Que, "It will be soon. Wait a moment. You have to make this trip for me. I can't let you leave hungry."

However, Zhou did not refuse this time and just nodded gently.

He caught a glimpse of the smile in Mingjin's eyes, and his brows softened accordingly.

It's just that he is usually quiet and silent.

No one noticed.

Brother Ying came back soon.

He took a bag of food and handed it to Zhou Que.

The things arrived, but Zhou did not refuse. After taking them, he thanked Mingjin.

Then he took his things and prepared to leave.

Ming Jin did not try to keep him this time and asked someone to send him out.

However, Zhou did not refuse. He nodded to Mingjin and left. When he was about to reach the yard, he suddenly stopped and turned back, clutching the food in his hand.

"princess."

He turned around and called Mingjin.

Ming Jin hummed, then continued his words and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou looked at Mingjin.

He actually had a lot to say and ask.

He wanted to ask, what she said when she helped him, wasn't it true? She didn't help him for the sake of reward, right?

Regarding this, he already had the answer in his heart.

What he wanted to know more was why did she help him in the first place?

But Zhou never understood.

Obviously, they were just strangers at that time.

But under Mingjin's bright eyes, Zhou had so much to say but he didn't know where to start.

He stammered a few times with his thin lips.

Finally, under Ming Jin's gaze, he just looked at her bulging belly and whispered to her, "It's cold outside, please take care of yourself."

"it is good."

Mingjin agreed with a smile.

After that, Zhou said nothing, retracted his gaze, and left.

Ming Jin looked at his figure, and waited until Zhou Que left the yard before he was helped back to the room by Aunt Pei and the others.

"Master Zhou is eighteen this year, right? It's time for him to get married."

"I went out a while ago and heard a lot of people talking about Lord Zhou. Some of them wanted to marry their daughters to him."

"I don't know who Mr. Zhou will marry in the future."

Aunt Pei was chatting with Mingjin with a smile on her face.

Ming Jin thought about the person Zhou Que talked about in his previous life, and he didn’t know if he could marry the person he liked in this life.

I don’t know who his crush is.

But no matter what, without the control of Gu Jiarou and Song He, Zhou will finally be able to embark on a bright and smooth road in the future.

She was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

……

Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Mingjin was seven months pregnant at this time.

My body is getting heavier and it’s not so convenient to go out.

Chunyu was always there in the Tzu Chi Hall, so whenever she had any instructions, she would just ask someone to pass the message, or when Chunyu came to their house, Mingjin would tell her in person.

The war at the border finally saw a turn for the better.

Unfortunately, the second prince contracted a serious illness and died. The Zuo Xian Wang who followed him on the expedition was originally at odds with him. Although the Zuo Xian Wang was brave and good at fighting, he also made many enemies in Tatar. It was said that there were many voices within Tatar that attacked the Zuo Xian Wang.

If we can capture this Zuo Xian King, it will not be difficult to defeat the Tatars.

March.

There is good news in the war again.

The current Khan of Tatar believed the instigation of others and thought that Zuo Xian Wang had really killed his two sons. He wanted to lead a large army to rebel against Tatar and establish himself as Khan.

The Khan of Tatar issued three edicts to urgently recall the people. He also threatened the family of Zuo Xian Wang and chose the right general to take over the position of Zuo Xian Wang to fight against Daqian.

Less than half a month later, the Tatars were defeated.

It has been more than eight months since it started in July last year.

The war that had lasted for eight months was finally coming to an end. There were cheers everywhere in the capital, and there was joy throughout the government and the public.

It's spring again, and the weather has become much warmer.

Mingjin was also happy about the news. With her big belly, she enthusiastically ordered everyone in the palace to redecorate the palace.

Just waiting for her husband to return from the battlefield.

If it was still in time, Yixian might even be able to see the birth of the child.

Just thinking about this, Ming Jin was overjoyed.

But when she thought about her current condition, she felt worried again.

"Grandma, have I gained a lot of weight?" After all, she was pregnant and there were two babies inside. How could Mingjin not have changed?

I just didn't pay attention to it before.

She began to worry again. What would she do if Yixian came back and didn't recognize her?

"What's fat?"

Princess Fuhua was very unhappy when she heard this. She held Mingjin's hand and said, "Besides, you are fat because of the child. You have suffered so much for the old Gu family. Don't say that Yixian is not such a person. If he is, you will see how I will deal with him!"

When Mingjin heard his grandmother say this, that little bit of worry he had disappeared.

Of course she knew that her husband was not that kind of person.

Think so.

Mingjin's heart was filled with anticipation and happiness.

Late March.

The war was a complete victory.

The elderly Tatar Khan also died after ordering the death of Zuo Xian Wang.

Without the Khan and the brave and warlike Zuo Xian Wang, the Tatars have now become a loose sand, with various forces falling apart in the struggle for power.

There was no need for Daqian to do anything, as they no longer had the ability to fight against them.

Same month.

The new Khan of Tatar sent a letter of surrender, expressing his willingness to return to Daqian and become a vassal state of Daqian. However, there was also news from the border that King Chang'an Gu Mingheng had died on the battlefield.
