The house was very clean, but deserted. Except for Snow Parrot and Haiyan, there was no one else there.
The buildings on the south side are different from those on the north side.
They live in a small building, with guests living on the first floor and resting on the second floor.
Mingwei likes the second floor. She can see the flowers and trees outside the yard, and the air she breathes seems fresher.
Seeing red lanterns hung everywhere in the house, Mingwei asked: "It's so festive, is your house going to hold a happy event?"
Xue Ying replied: "Yes, Master Ten is getting married. This is why the old lady returned to her hometown."
"Ten..." Mingwei calculated silently in his mind, "But that Tang Yulang who is famous all over the world?"
Xue Ying smiled, with a bit of pride: "I didn't expect that Master Ten's talent and fame would spread to Northern Qi. Exactly, our Master Ten is the one known as Tang Yulang."
Mingwei murmured: "I have admired your name for a long time!"
Historically, the Tang family at this time was a period of great talent.
Among young people, there is Tang Xi in literature and Tang Luo in martial arts.
Tang Xi was the tenth of the same generation as Dai Guogong. He was famous since he was a child. He also looked like Pan An and was known as the Yulang of the Tang family.
Tang Luo is the eldest son of the Tang family. He has now taken over the military power and is stationed on the border of Qi and Chu.
In comparison, the future Marquis of Wuxing, Tang Shao, is still very low-key now.
If I remember correctly, it seems that he only had a casual job. What exactly he did, Mingwei cannot remember, and there seems to be no record in the history books.
But in a few years, he will be even more prominent than his brother.
Tang Luo inherited the title of Duke of Dai, while Tang Shao rose through the ranks, rising step by step until he was granted the title of Marquis of Wuxing and became a powerful minister with one hand covering the sky.
He truly brought the Tang family, which was already so powerful that the imperial family had to give in, to the point where "I only know that there is Duke Tang but not His Majesty."
It's just one step away from replacing it.
Will he be the person chosen by Xing Gong?
"When Master Tang gets married, will everyone else come back? For example, the eldest son and the second son?"
Xue Ying said: "The eldest young master will not come back. The second young master has said that, but his whereabouts have always been erratic, so it's hard to say."
Mingwei was very sorry: "I heard about the reputation of the eldest and second son in Qidi, and thought I could see it with my own eyes! However, it would be nice to see Yulang of the Tang family!"
Seeing her happy face, Snow Parrot couldn't help but sympathize with her.
Miss Ming Qi, with perfect appearance and good temperament, is really an impeccable lady from a famous family. If she were still in the Northern Qi Dynasty, how glorious would it be to marry into the royal family in the future?
Now that we have arrived in Nanchu, our status is awkward, we have no one to rely on, and we don’t know what the future will be like. It will be reduced to pieces in the blink of an eye.
What a pity.
…
Early in the morning, when Tang Xi came to say hello, Mrs. Tang was still asleep.
"Tenth brother." Mrs. Tang was waiting outside.
Tang Xi nodded and pointed to the cubicle, and the two of them went there to talk, one after the other.
This Yulang of the Tang family is the eldest son of Mrs. Tang. He is only in his early twenties, a little younger than Mr. Tang.
He has a tender face, fair face, handsome appearance, and a rare talent, so it is no wonder that he is called Yulang.
"Miss Mingqi, what's going on?" Tang Xi opened his mouth and asked.
Mrs. Tang sighed and roughly recounted what Bai Ling said.
"...That's what it is."
"So, she was actually brought back by Miss Xiuyi?"
"Yes." Mrs. Tang asked with concern, "Will there be trouble? After all, he is a prince and has kidnapped the future princess. Will Northern Qi invade?"
Tang Xi thought to himself: "The Yue King of Qi State has a strange life experience. If it is really his fiancée..." He shook his head, "There is a high possibility that it will be ignored."
"how?"
"The King of Yue is actually a direct descendant of the royal family of Qi. His grandfather is the prince Sihuai. He stayed with Princess Mingcheng since he was a child and did not return to the clan until the year before last year."
Mrs. Tang remembered: "That's the one! When we heard about it, we thought it was a strange thing."
"Exactly." Tang Xi said warmly, "So, if it is the fiancée of the King of Yue, nothing will happen to her. The Emperor of Qi will not be willing to use force for her. Besides, isn't she not married yet? It would be better to change to another fiancée.
That's it, it won't damage the royal family's face, and there's no need to go to war. If a fight breaks out, we will be in trouble, and Qi is not very sure."
The two countries have been at peace with each other for decades, and it is not that easy to start war again.
According to the current situation, unless there is a gap in the national power of the two countries, one continues to weaken and the other becomes stronger, and the gap reaches a certain level, a war will occur.
Otherwise, one side will not be sure of victory and the stalemate will continue.
"...Miss Ming Qi, the moment she was kidnapped to Nanchu, it was no longer possible for her to become a princess. Her current situation can be said to be that she is running into walls with no way out. She is too light, and Northern Qi
There is no way to fight for her, and there is probably no one to save her. And for the sake of the royal reputation, even if she returns to Northern Qi, the marriage must be abandoned. What options can a woman who has been abandoned by the prince have to give up?
If you spend your whole life practicing meditation in a temple, you will be considered lucky."
Mrs. Tang thought the same thing. If it were Southern Chu and a future princess was kidnapped and sent to Northern Qi, the prince would definitely be replaced by a famous lady in the blink of an eye. With such a certain status, the fiancée would not be important.
"Then there will be no problem if we keep her?"
Tang Xi shook his head: "There is no need to worry about Northern Qi, but you have to pay attention to Kyoto."
Mrs. Tang thought for a while: "Should I say something?"
"Send a message over there." Tang Xi said, "I'm afraid I still need to explain it, otherwise, if I let them find out the news on their own, they will become suspicious again."
This they refer to the Nanchu royal family.
The relationship between the Tang family and the royal family is very delicate.
The aristocratic family was too powerful, which meant that the imperial power was divided up.
Nowadays, the Tang family's influence is spread throughout the government and the public, and the relationship with the royal family is already on thin ice and cannot withstand any turmoil.
Mrs. Tang nodded silently.
Tang Xi added: "If she is smart enough, she should please her mother. In Nanchu, she is helpless and has nothing. Her destiny is in our hands. If we are happy, her life will be better.
It's better, we are not satisfied, knocking her down is just a matter of moving a finger."
Mrs. Tang understood deeply: "My tenth brother said this, it was like a revelation. I already know how to deal with this Miss Mingqi."
Tang Xi cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Miss Ming Qi has learned martial arts. I will send a few masters to guard the area around the guest house. I'll leave the rest to my sister-in-law."
"It should be."
The two of them stayed together for a while, and then Mrs. Tang woke up.
Looking at each other, Tang Xi asked: "How long has mother been asleep?"
Mrs. Tang calculated in her mind: "I slept late last night, about... more than two hours."
Tang Xi nodded: "Much better than before."
The two of them straightened their expressions and went into the room to talk to Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang rubbed her forehead and said tiredly: "You guys came too early. There have been a lot of things recently. I have time to take a good rest."
Tang Xi sat by the bed, took over the maid's work, helped Mrs. Tang sit up, and said softly: "My son has not seen his mother for half a year, and he misses her very much, so naturally he has to come early."
Mrs. Tang immediately smiled and nodded at him: "I know how to coax my mother."
"What I said is true."
"Okay, okay, I believe you." With her young son by her side, Mrs. Tang was in a good mood. Even the nightmare just now was no longer important. "We are getting married in a few days. Are you happy?"
Tang Xi replied: "I'm a little nervous, but my mother picked the person, so I think it will be good."
Mrs. Tang smiled and nodded: "Mother has been paying attention to her for a long time. Miss Ling has a good temper and some talent. She will definitely be able to harmonize with you."
The mother and son talked for a while, and Tang Xi asked: "How did mother sleep just now? Is she still..." (To be continued)
