The weather warms up quickly, and within a few days, the sun has already brought heat.
Many of the flowers and plants in Yu Fong Yuen have also grown buds.
Mingwei simply took the two little ones outside to enjoy the scenery.
Duofu brought the fruit wine, poured a glass for each of them, and then said, "My wife ordered me to drink only one glass."
Mingxiang cheered and picked up the glass cup.
The red wine looks particularly beautiful in a glass cup.
"It's so sweet!" Ninth Young Master Mingkun took a big sip.
The fruit wine has a very light taste and is sweetened with honey. It is originally meant for children to drink.
Mingwei only took a sip and then put it down.
It was so sweet that she didn't like it.
The era when she was born was already the most turbulent time in Northern Qi.
The Northern Qi Dynasty lasted only a hundred years. After Taizu came Emperor Wen. When Emperor Wen died, he was the first deposed emperor, then the Ling Emperor, and then the later deposed emperor. In the following twenty-seven years, five emperors passed through, and in the fifth year of the last emperor, the Beihu invaded
Completely end this dynasty.
Before and after, there were only three emperors who reigned for more than ten years: Taizu, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Ling.
She was born during the most chaotic twenty-seven years.
At that time, rituals and music had collapsed, and the people were in dire straits.
Mingwei's first memory is of wandering around the world with his master.
Of course the master would not let her go hungry, but in that era, stability was a luxury.
Sometimes, they are guests of princes, and the bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive. And in difficult times, it is common for them to sleep in the wild and eat dry food.
This makes Mingwei feel rational and calm about food.
Of course she likes food, but she never lets herself indulge in it.
"Third Aunt is so kind! Unlike my mother, who always takes care of us," Mingxiang said.
Ming smiled: "If I were your mother, I might control you more strictly."
"Impossible!" Mingxiang waved his hand, "The third aunt is the best in the family. The second aunt is always very serious and controls the sixth brother so much that he dare not speak loudly. As for the sixth aunt..." She curled her lips and said, "Guan Liu
The trivial matters in her uncle's house are enough to keep her busy."
"Oh? Is there a lot going on in Uncle Six's house?"
"Why not much? Seventh sister, let me tell you..." Mingxiang was very interested.
There are many girls in the Ming family, but most of them are born to two masters in the capital. Apart from the eldest daughter of the second master who is married, they are the only ones left in Dongning. Mingwei was ill before, and Ming Xiang had no time to play at home.
Now I finally have a girl of the same age to communicate with.
"Our sixth uncle is the most romantic in our family. There are many warblers and swallows in the house. Moreover, he is also a frequent visitor to Tianxiang Tower. I heard that he even provokes beautiful young widows..."
"Eighth sister!" Ming Kun suddenly raised his head and said, "My mother said that you, a girl, should not be so rude. This is not what a girl should say."
Mingxiang stared at him when he was suddenly scolded by his younger brother.
Mingwei suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Well, the fourth aunt is right, the eighth sister should not talk about it in the future, otherwise it will be bad if others hear it. However, we are sisters, so just keep it secret."
Mingxiang's face turned gloomy: "Don't Seventh Sister not know this? I will only say it this time."
Then he sighed: "Our sisters are all in the capital! We usually don't have anyone to play with. Seventh sister, you are well now. I will take you with me when I go out to play in the future. The peach blossom grove in Wang's family in Qidong County is very beautiful. Come on, come on.
It’s about time, it’s almost time to post a flower appreciation post.”
Mingwei's fingers gently brushed the glass cup: "Prince Qidong?"
"Oh, the seventh sister doesn't know. Prince Qidong is Jinshang's nephew, and his fiefdom is here. He has two daughters, who are about the same age as us. We usually have a good relationship with me."
Mingwei remembers Prince Qidong.
He is the son of King Qin, the second son of Taizu.
In the twenty-seventh year of Yuankang, a human tragedy occurred in this dynasty.
The three eldest sons of Taizu, the prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Jin fought with each other, and eventually all three were injured. The prince died, the king of Qin died in exile, and the king of Jin committed suicide.
Taizu lost three sons at once and was so heartbroken that he only lasted a year before passing away.
Then King Zhao ascended the throne, and this is the present day.
In order to show kindness to his elder brother and his descendants, except for the extinct Prince Sihuai, the children of the King of Qin and the King of Jin were all given the titles of princes and princesses.
If she remembered correctly, this Prince of Qidong County was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner a few years later.
She read about this matter from the notes of her predecessors, but the writing was vague.
However, if a county king can be deprived of his title, it is mostly a matter of great rebellion.
Is the relationship between the Ming family and Prince Qidong very good? I have never seen any description. However, it is also possible that the descendants of the Ming family are not worthy of the record.
Seeing the sun setting in the west, Mingxiang didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly took his brother back.
And Mingwei went to the willow tree to have a look.
"Miss, what will happen next after the wall is demolished?" Duofu asked worriedly.
Ming smiled, picked up a branch, and drew a circle around the willow tree.
"Don't get into this trap and nothing will happen."
In fact, it has no impact at all whether this wall is demolished or not. It is easy to change the formation, it just requires moving a few positions.
She wanted to tear down the wall just to test Mr. Ming Si.
Now it seems that there is something wrong with the fourth master, but he is not the mastermind.
Well, I have to find another way to lure out the mastermind...
…
Ming Xiang had just mentioned Qidong County Prince, and the next day, the fourth lady came for this matter.
Mingwei entered the room and happened to hear her say: "...Auntie mentioned that day that Xiaoqi had recovered from her illness and it was time to go out for a walk. The flower viewing party at the Prince's Palace was a good opportunity. Who would have expected that this would happen?
, Mingxiang is not going well either."
"Mom, fourth aunt." Mingwei greeted, and nodded to Mingxiang, who was pretending to be a lady.
Mingxiang suddenly became energetic and waved: "Seventh sister, let's sit outside."
With that said, he went outside first.
Mingwei followed him, but before he could say anything, Mingxiang said with a grimace: "I've been waiting for so long, but now I can't go to the prince's palace."
"Why?" Mingwei asked, dutifully being a listener.
Ming Xiang sighed: "Because a fatal person has come."
"Um?"
"Have you ever heard of Marquis Boling?"
Mingwei thought for a moment: "It seems like... Princess Mingcheng's consort?"
"That was a matter of the previous generation!" Mingxiang said, "The current Marquis of Boling is the eldest son of Princess Mingcheng."
"oh……"
Princess Mingcheng is the eldest daughter of Taizu. In her early years, she followed Taizu to conquer the world and made many achievements. It can be said that she is not inferior to other women.
Her consort is Yang Wang, Marquis of Boling, who is also a fierce general.
It is a pity that their descendants were not successful, and there were no characters worth recording. Later generations will remember Princess Mingcheng, mostly because of the Mingcheng Academy that was passed down to the end of the country.
"What kind of person is this?"
"He is the third young master of Bolinghou Mansion! He is very famous in the capital!"
Mingxiang's tone was complaining, but his eyes were shining.
