Chapter 180 The cinnabar mole of the eldest princess
Xia Mingzhu?
Hua Jingyao's heart moved, this name sounded familiar.
Is it a coincidence?
She didn't dare to disturb Princess Zhaoyang, so she kept listening calmly.
Princess Zhaoyang continued, "I was your age at that time, innocent and innocent. I like anyone who is good-looking."
Hua Jingyao secretly complained in her heart that you also like good-looking people now. Not only do you like them, but you also want to collect them.
"Xia Mingzhu is beautiful, the best among the noble girls. She rode a red horse. When she stood there, she was like a blooming peony. The ladies next to her suddenly became her foil." Princess Zhaoyang's eyes were bright, with a smile on her lips, and there seemed to be stars in her eyes. After so many years, as long as she remembers Xia Mingzhu's beauty, Princess Zhaoyang is still fascinated.
"Xia Mingzhu is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She is so beautiful. When I see her, I think of a word, "The beauty of the world is so beautiful."
Hua Jingyao didn't know if she was dazzled, but she actually saw the princess's mother seemingly swallowing.
Mom, where is my dad, have you forgotten my dad?
"Then which noble girl is this Xia Mingzhu?" Hua Jingyao quickly changed the subject. She was worried that her mother would develop a new hobby because of this memory - collecting beauties!
Princess Zhaoyang finally pulled her daughter back. She took a sip of sour plum soup and said, "She is the daughter of the old Ping'an Hou's sister. The Xia family is a fourth-rank military position. Xia Mingzhu's father retired due to illness. Her younger brother was young and had not yet taken office. Her mother had passed away and there was no grandmother in the family. Her father was worried that it would affect her future marriage, so he sent her to her grandmother outside the capital. At that time, the lady of the Ping'an Hou's mansion would find her a marriage."
Xia Mingzhu's biological mother passed away. If she had no elders' education, she would inevitably be criticized after marrying into her husband's house. Therefore, her family sent her to Mrs. Nie.
Hua Jingyao immediately sorted out Xia Mingzhu's situation at that time.
Although the Xia family had a fourth-rank military position, but her father was sick and younger brother was young, and no one was an official. She lost her mother and eldest daughter. Although she was temporarily raised by the Grandmaster, she was just a poor relative of the Ping'an Marquis' Mansion, and in the eyes of these noble girls at that time, she was just a poor relative of the Ping'an Marquis' Mansion.
"Did she go with the girl from the Marquis of Ping'an?" Hua Jingyao asked. More than ten years ago, the girl from the Marquis of Ping'an should be Luo Junzu's aunt.
"That's not. She was brought by the second girl from the Qingyang Body Mansion. The eldest girl from the Qingyang Body Mansion is the current wife of Marquis Ping'an, but she was still the prince's wife at that time." When Princess Zhaoyang said this, she put away her star eyes just now and looked at her daughter seriously.
Hua Jingyao saw the exam in the princess's eyes. Her mother was examining her.
"I understand. If the second girl from the Prince's Mansion of Qingyang would never have brought Xia Mingzhu out without the answer from the prince's wife, she would have brought Xia Mingzhu out, let alone to the Queen and you. The reason why the Prince's wife did this is probably the grandma's idea. The Marquis of Ping'an was going to praise Xia Mingzhu! In this way, the Nie family is not bad to Xia Mingzhu."
Princess Zhaoyang nodded with satisfaction and pinched her daughter's pink and tender face as a reward.
"You are right. At that time, the Nie family really wanted to praise Xia Mingzhu because the Nie family wanted to marry her and keep Xia Mingzhu in the Nie family as their daughter-in-law. Because Nie Yuanshen is the second son, his wife's origin and family background cannot be higher than his sister-in-law. Nie Mingzhu's background is not obvious, and he knows the bottom line. It is the second son's wife that the Nie family wants. More importantly, Nie Yuanshen likes it!"
Princess Zhaoyang sighed again and said, "Who doesn't like such a beautiful and lovely person? When I saw her, I wanted her to enter the palace to be a female official for me, but unfortunately..."
Hua Jingyao suddenly realized that no wonder the princess's mother even knew the Nie family's thoughts about Xia Mingzhu. She thought that she wanted Xia Mingzhu to enter the palace to be a female official, not only thought about it, but also took action. She only learned that Xia Mingzhu was the daughter-in-law appointed by the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion, so she could not enter the palace. She had to give up her thoughts.
Looking at her mother's regret, Hua Jingyao was almost certain that if Xia Mingzhu had really entered the palace at that time, her father might not have had anything to do in the future.
Fortunately, there is no!
"What happened later? Why did Nie Yuanshen marry Princess Minghui?" Hua Jingyao asked.
"That time, Cuju Xia Mingzhu was very popular. She was the daughter of a military general. She had some immediate skills, and she looked so beautiful again, so beautiful..."
Before Princess Zhaoyang could continue to speak, Hua Jingyao quickly interrupted her and said, "Mom, please talk about the serious matter."
Princess Zhaoyang glared at her, cleared her throat, and continued, "Just when the Cuju was about to end, Minghui's horse was shocked for some reason and hit Xia Mingzhu. Although Xia Mingzhu dodged, she was still hit and flew out of the horse and broke her leg. Afterwards, the Empress gave her a lot of medicinal herbs and asked the imperial doctor to treat her. Princess Qing personally brought Princess Minghui to the door to apologize. The Ping'an Marquis's Mansion will no longer pursue the matter, and the matter will be left alone."
"At that time, Princess Minghui hadn't been to the Yudai River to walk her horses, right?" Hua Jingyao asked.
"You are right, Minghui didn't have this hobby at that time. At first, Xia Mingzhu was recuperating from Marquis Ping'an. At that time, I wanted to visit her, but I don't know who was talking too much. I told the Empress Dowager about my desire to be a female official, and the Empress Dowager refused to let me go. Helplessly, I had to let someone stare outside Marquis Ping'an's mansion." When Princess Zhaoyang said this, she felt a little wronged that only a little girl could feel.
Hua Jingyao held back and did not laugh out loud. The Empress Dowager was worried that you would find a female princess to come back, so she didn't let you go.
"Stupid girl, what are you thinking? My mother was only eleven years old back then." Princess Zhaoyang rolled her eyes and threw them over, looking angry.
Hua Jingyao quickly begged for mercy: "Mom, I was wrong. I can't let you pinch your face. You can pinch whatever you want."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled with a pursed lips, and indeed reached out to pinch her daughter's little face, but she didn't use any force and was gentle.
"Later, I heard that Xia Mingzhu left the capital and went to the Shen family to recuperate in the village of Xiling. I heard that a Taoist priest came to the mansion to see him and said that Xia Mingzhu was not suitable for recuperating in the mansion, and might suffer from disability. The lady believed it and sent Xia Mingzhu to the village of Xishan."
"Who would have thought that Xia Mingzhu never came back after she left, and it was said that she was taken back by her family. But later I went to the Shen family in person to ask, Mrs. Ping'an, the wife of the prince back then, had her eyes flashed and she was lying. The grandmother also disappeared from that time, saying that she wanted to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. I came out of Ping'an Hou's Mansion and asked me to call the second girl of the Qingyang Bo Mansion, who was friends with Xia Mingzhu. When I heard me ask about Xia Mingzhu, the second girl cried. She said that Xia Mingzhu was not in harmony with her stepmother, and the Xia family would not come to pick Xia Mingzhu up. She suspected that Xia Mingzhu was dead."
