Ming Shang was the daughter of the Weaver Mother in the palace. Because of her excellent embroidery skills, she was raised by the Empress Dowager. In the winter of the year when she had hairpins, Prince Xiao Jingzhi went to the Empress Dowager's palace to ask her to be his concubine.
Ming Shang heard that His Highness the Prince was courteous, gentle and restrained in his treatment of others. She only hoped that he could treat her better.
As she wished, Xiao Jing told Hui Hui that he liked her and promised her the title of Crown Princess when his love was strong.
Ming Chang was very content and served him wholeheartedly.
Not long after, Ming Chang was pregnant. When she happily told Xiao Jingzhi, Xiao Jingzhi changed his gentle look towards her and said coldly: "Chang Chang, this child shouldn't be in this world."
On the day Xiao Jingzhi ascended the throne of God, Ming Shang found out that there had always been a girl living in the Chaohua Palace in the East Palace. She was Xiao Jingzhi's sweetheart and his queen. The wife in his heart had never been her.
The woman forced her to drink the poisonous wine. It was not until that moment that Ming Chang understood why Xiao Jingzhi said her child should not be brought into this world.
As a concubine, she should not have given birth to a child before he married his first wife.
When he opened his eyes again, Ming Chang went back to that winter, when Xiao Jingzhi was begging for her with the Queen Mother. Ming Chang looked at the humble man in front of him, Ji Yue Qingfeng, and refused.
She had been deceived by that lie all her life, and she wouldn't want to look at him again for the rest of her life.
——
The fact that Prince Xiao Jingzhi asked to marry the embroidered girl Ming Chang who was raised at the Queen Mother's knees as the crown prince, but was rejected outright, spread to everyone in the capital and everyone was confused, including Xiao Jingzhi.
He had promised her the position of crown princess, why didn't she still want to look at him?
During the flower viewing party in spring, he stood by the lotus pond and watched her talking and laughing with other men. In the summer retreat, he also watched her accept gifts from other men. The veins on the back of her hands bulged and he could no longer tolerate it.
But she only said lightly: "Does His Highness the Crown Prince also have to intervene in the matter of marriage between a man and a woman?"
Later, the most dignified and unique prince knelt in front of Ming Chang, holding her delicate face with trembling hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chang Chang, I give you my lonely heart."
But she doesn't want it anymore.
