Princess Mingcheng and Marquis Yang Wang of Boling are a couple of gods.
Before Taizu launched his army, he was a military prince. Among his children, Princess Mingcheng was the oldest. She learned martial arts from her father since she was a child. When she was only thirteen years old, she went on an expedition with her father and made great achievements.
Yang Wang, Marquis of Boling, also served under Taizu. They worked together for many years and finally got married.
In Mingwei's time, there were people who made up special plays to sing their stories.
This Princess Mingcheng was fierce on the battlefield, but privately she was indifferent to fame and fortune.
When this dynasty was established, Taizu intended to make her the princess of the country, but Princess Mingcheng was unwilling. Later, she and Marquis Yang Wang of Boling retired and returned to their fields. They stopped participating in court affairs, turned to studying, and built a women's academy.
From then on, there was a tradition in the capital for women to study.
Mingwei respected this princess very much. Although the Northern Qi Dynasty did not last long and the women could not break out of the prison, many women benefited from it over the past hundred years, which was an immeasurable merit.
"Princess Mingcheng and her consort passed away three years ago. The current Marquis Boling is their eldest son. As for this third young master, we should call him uncle."
Ming Xiang talked about the affairs of the capital city with all his treasures.
"He was quite pitiful. Before he was born, his father had an accident. Not long after he was born, his mother also died of depression. Fortunately, Princess Mingcheng, a grandmother, was here, so he didn't suffer much. I heard that when the princess and the consort were there,
I doted on him very much. Therefore, my temper was a bit perverse..."
"Oh." Mingwei nodded. A spoiled young man understands.
"He is famous for three reasons. The first is his eccentricity. Princess Mingcheng takes pity on him. She respects her eldest sister and loves him very much. Even the prince has to give in in front of him. He is moody.
Anyone who offends him will be in trouble. He also loves to have fun, spend time and night, play music every night, and loves wine and beautiful women the most..."
Seeing Mingxiang's twinkling eyes, Mingwei understood: "The fourth aunt said you can't go either. Is it because of this?"
Mingxiang nodded: "Yes. I heard that Mr. Yang is very ridiculous. If he likes her, it doesn't matter whose girl it is. Even if she doesn't do anything outrageous, letting him tease her will always bring bad reputation.
Therefore, all the families in the capital who have daughters avoid him."
This is really...ridiculous.
"What about the second reason?"
"The second reason is that he suppressed his wife's fate."
Ming Wei raised his eyebrows: "How many of them have been killed?"
Mingxiang held out three fingers: "Three!" After thinking for a while, "To be precise, it should be to punish the six relatives. His parents died early, he has no brothers, and his wife... Anyway, even his fiancée was killed by him, and now he can't.
No one dares to marry him."
"It is said that the first one was a baby, and the girl from that family died before she grew up. The second one was made by him when he was ten years old, and he also died of illness within two years. By the time of the third one, that girl was going to die.
I thought I was pretending to be a sister-in-law, so I almost ran up the mountain, but the sister-in-law didn't take it seriously and fell to death..."
Ming Xiang spoke so vividly that Ming Wei couldn't help but laugh: "You know quite a lot."
"Who doesn't know these things? When I went to the capital two years ago, my ears were calloused!"
Ming Wei thought to herself that many people in the world have far-fetched ideas and don't know whether Mr. Yang's fate of suppressing his wife is true or a legend.
"There is a third reason, seventh sister, what do you think it is?" Mingxiang winked at her.
Mingwei shook his head: "I can't guess, what is it?"
Mingxiang chuckled and whispered: "I heard that he is very good-looking, and not even the concubines in the palace can compare with him. That's why I will tolerate him again and again. Good-looking people are always good-looking.
You’re taking advantage!”
Seeing her eyes shining brightly, she seemed to be ready to make a move...
"Would you like to see it?"
Mingxiang's face fell and he scratched the pillar: "Mom won't let me go."
Mingwei said: "If this Young Master Yang is really so ridiculous, it's really hard to go. Just to take a look, it's not worth ruining your reputation."
Mingxiang is not her. She will get married in the future. It would be bad if it affects her marriage.
"I know!" Mingxiang continued to scratch the pillar, looking like he wanted to endure it but couldn't help it. "I just want to take a look and see what he looks like. I heard that his mother and Concubine Pei are sisters, and he is Xiaomu, so
She looks very similar to Concubine Pei. Concubine Pei is famous for her beauty..."
Concubine Pei? Mingwei remembers it. She was Emperor Wen’s favorite woman, and even if she died, she would be buried in the same coffin.
Of course, this definitely didn't work.
How could the imperial concubine be allowed to share the coffin with the emperor when there was an empress of Yuan Dynasty? At this time, the Northern Qi Dynasty had not broken its rules.
"Be patient!" Mingwei could only comfort her, "If the fourth aunt doesn't want to, you can't see her either."
Mingxiang could only groan and rub his face, but the fourth lady heard him and scolded her: "Be quiet, don't be like a monkey!"
After the fourth lady said this, she went back.
She came here to explain to Mrs. Mingsan.
In the past, Miss Mingqi had the disease and could only hide in a deep house. Now that Mingwei is better, she is always asked to go out to meet people.
Mrs. Ming San actually doesn't care. She has decided to marry her daughter back to her parents' family. It doesn't matter whether Ming Wei goes out or not.
Mingwei didn't care either, she was more concerned about what kind of ghost was hidden in this house.
In the following days, Mr. Ming Si came again several times.
He didn't say anything or do anything, he just stood aside and watched.
Mingwei let him look at it, just in time to tell whether the Fourth Master understood it himself or if someone else was guiding him.
The first time I came back to look at it, Mr. Mingsi seemed confused, but the second time he looked at it carefully for a long time.
After that, he stopped coming.
Ming smiled, it seemed that someone else understood.
If that person knew she understood, would he take action?
Mingwei didn't wait for the man to take action, so he waited for Mingxiang.
"Seventh sister, seventh sister!"
Seeing Ming Xiang sneaking into Yu Fangyuan, Ming Wei was surprised: "What are you doing?"
He was hiding and hiding, not daring to let anyone know.
"Shh!" Mingxiang pulled her down, hid behind the flowers, and whispered in his ear, "I want to go out, do you want to come with me?"
Seeing her like this, Mingwei suddenly had an idea: "You don't want to secretly visit Mr. Yang, do you?"
"Haha!" Mingxiang felt a little embarrassed when she saw through him, "I just took a sneak peek and wouldn't meet him, so I won't have a bad reputation!"
"..."
"If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself!"
Mingwei felt that he still needed to ask a few more questions: "Are you going alone? Where are you going to see? Will you be discovered?"
Mingxiang said: "He will arrive in Dongning today! The prefect brought the gentry to greet him, and my father and second uncle will also go! I know where they will pick him up, just go nearby and take a sneak peek. The sixth brother is with me, and we have already
Waiting outside."
"..." Mingwei had a headache. How did she convince Minghao? Wasn't he always bullied by Mingxiang?
"Seventh sister! I called you because I wanted to be nice to you. Even if you don't go, you can't expose me!" Mingxiang quickly declared when he saw that she wasn't very interested.
"Don't worry." Mingwei thought for a while, "I'll go with you."
To prevent these two children from causing trouble.
