Riding the Pheonix Chapter 18: Previous events

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 Garden have 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: "Madam ordered, you can only drink one glass."

Ming Xiang 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 was originally meant for children to drink.

Mingwei only took a sip and then put it down.

It's so sweet that she doesn't like it.

The era when she was born was already the most turbulent time in Northern Qi.

Northern Qi Kingdom Zuo only lasted 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, from The Beihu invasion completely ended this dynasty.

Back and forth, 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 to follow his master and wander around the world.

Of course the master would not let her go hungry, but in that era, stability was a luxury.

Sometimes, they are the guests of the prince, and the bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive. When times are tough, sleeping in the wild and eating dry food is common.

This makes Mingwei feel rational and calm about food.

Of course she likes food, but she will never let herself indulge in it.

"Third aunt is so kind! Unlike my mother, who always supervises us." Mingxiang said.

Ming smiled: "If I were to become your mother, I might control you more strictly."

"Impossible!" Mingxiang waved her hand, "The third aunt is the best in the family. The second aunt is always very serious, and the sixth brother does not dare to speak loudly. As for the sixth aunt..." She curled her lips, "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 more? 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 second master's eldest daughter who was already married, they were the only ones left in Dongning. Before, Mingwei was ill and Mingxiang had no playmates at home, but now he finally has a girl of the same age with whom he can communicate.

"The sixth uncle in our family is the most romantic, and 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, "Mom said, you are a girl, you should not be so rude. This is not what a girl should say."

Suddenly being scolded by his younger brother, Mingxiang stared.

Mingwei suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Well, the fourth aunt is right, the eighth sister should not say it anymore, it is not good for others to hear. However, we are sisters, if you tell me quietly, I will definitely not say it. Get out."

Ming Xiang's face turned gloomy: "Don't Seventh Sister not know this? I will only say it this time."

As he spoke, 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 so beautiful. , counting the time, it’s almost time to post a flower appreciation post.”

Mingwei's fingers gently brushed the glass cup: "Prince Qidong?"

"Oh, 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 defeated. 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.

Nowadays, benevolent and righteous, he treats his brother's descendants favorably. Except for the heirless Prince Sihuai, the children of King Qin and King Jin have all been granted the title of prince and princess.

This Prince of Qidong County, if she remembered correctly, was deprived of his title a few years later and demoted to a commoner.

She read about this from the notes of her predecessors, and the words were vague.

However, if a county king can be deprived of his title, it is mostly a matter of great rebellion.

Does the Ming family have a good relationship with Prince Qidong? I haven't seen any description. Of course, it is also possible that the descendants of the Ming family failed to live up to expectations and were not worth recording.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, Mingxiang did not dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly took his brother back.

And Mingwei went to take a look at the willow tree.

"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 enter this circle, and nothing will happen."

Actually, whether this wall is demolished or not has no impact at all. Changing the formation is easy, just moving a few positions.

She wanted to tear down the wall just to test Master 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...

……

Ming Xiang just mentioned Prince Qidong~IndoMTL.com~ The next day, the fourth lady came for this matter.

Mingwei entered the room and happened to hear her say: "...Auntie mentioned it that day, saying that Xiao Qi had recovered from his illness and it was time to go out for a walk. The flower viewing banquet at the County Prince's Mansion was a good opportunity. Who would have expected that it would happen If this happens, Mingxiang will be in trouble."

"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, but before he could speak, Mingxiang pulled him and complained: "I waited so long, but now I can't go to the prince's palace."

"Why?" Mingwei asked, dutifully being a listener.

Ming Xiangxue sighed like a master: "Because a fatal person has come."

"Huh?"

"Have you heard of Marquis Boling?"

Mingwei thought for a while: "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 women.

Her consort, Bolinghou Yang Wang, is also a fierce general.

It is a pity that their descendants are not successful and there are 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.

"Who is the person who wants to die? Is it related to Marquis Boling?"

"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.

Mingwei asked casually: "Oh? Why is he famous?"
