The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

The next day, Song Wei woke up naturally after falling asleep.After staying in bed for a while, I got up to have breakfast.As soon as the rice bowl was put away, Qin Xian was called over: "Let's go."

Qin Xian was at a loss: "His Royal Highness, go...where are you going?"

"Go to your old master's house."

Qin Xian was stunned: "Didn't Your Highness say last night that you will invite His Majesty before you go?"

Before noon was a fixed time for the emperor to discuss matters with his ministers, Qin Xian took it for granted that Song Wei must enter the palace in the afternoon, and then go to the Xianhou Mansion.Just in the morning, I sent someone to the Suwei Army Yamen to inform Lord Hou in advance, so that His Highness the Sixth Highness would not be caught in the air.

Song Wei said disapprovingly: "It's the same to greet my father in the afternoon, first go to Xianhou Mansion."

"This... But, Lord Hou is probably not at the mansion right now."

Song smiled: "I'm not here to see him, what does it matter if he's here?"

Seeing Qin Xian's perplexed face, he said again: "Still...the Marquis Xian is not at home, I can't go to his Xianhou's mansion? According to you, if I'm not at home in my Prince Xiu's mansion, can he come after Dugu?" ?”

No matter how slow Qin Xian was, he was able to react.Last night, Master Hou should have come but did not come, His Highness the Sixth Highness was angry.

Ji Zhongsheng wise: "Your Highness wants to go out, you should ask Manager Li first."

Li Yizheng and Blue Indigo counted the fixed assets of the Palace together, checking for omissions and making up for vacancies by the way.After being invited by the maid, after listening to Song Wei's request, after thinking about it, he felt that no matter the relatives of the emperor or the courtiers, there were very few people like the sixth prince who stayed at noon at noon.Going out at this time greatly reduces the chance of accidents.He didn't care about the awkwardness between the young couple, let alone Qin Xian's dilemma, he nodded in agreement immediately.In view of the fact that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was going out for the first time, he decided to accompany him in person as a precautionary measure.

Qin Xian didn't expect Li Yi to agree, and was immediately dumbfounded.Woke up by his loud voice, he hurriedly gathered his hands and arranged for carriages and horses.On the one hand, he sent someone to report to the Yamen of Suwei Army in Beicheng immediately.However, from the Wangfu to the Xianhou's Mansion, it is much closer than going to the Suweijun Yamen.I just hope that the sixth prince will be merciful, and don't make any troubles while Lord Hou is away.

In the past, Emperor Taizong moved his capital to Yuancheng, with its own overall planning, and the princely mansions were relatively concentrated.From the Qianli Wangfu, where Song Wei lives now, to Xianhou's Mansion, it took only two quarters of an hour to ride a horse.Even walking, more than half an hour is enough.Song Wei followed Li Yi's advice and took the carriage with the highest safety factor.In front of the gate of Dugu's mansion, Zheng'er Bajing handed over the post, begging to see the old Hou Ye with the courtesy of a junior.

Dugu Chen's health is getting worse and worse, and he only feels a headache when he receives the invitation card from the sixth prince.He did not attend the knighting ceremony yesterday, apart from physical reasons, of course there are many ulterior reasons, trying to keep out of sight.Unexpectedly, the sixth prince would not let him go, an old man, and came to the door the next day to make trouble.Desire to ask for illness to disappear, but also afraid of causing future troubles.

There are thousands of mistakes, all of which are caused by the son raised by Dugu's family.Dugu Chen had no choice but to be supported by his servants, and tremblingly walked out of the front hall to meet the distinguished guests.I made up my mind that no matter what the visitor said, I would pretend to be deaf and dumb until the end.

Song Wei didn't wait for him to look like he was about to bow down, so he rushed up to support him, and said with a smile: "How is the old Hou Ye? I actually came to play with Xiao Li, and asked to see the eldest son of the Hou family, after all, it's inconvenient It's a sin to disturb the old marquis."

Dugu Chen didn't know what to say about him, so he could only reply: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Your Highness is still like this... Cough, the childlike innocence is still there."

Song Wei seemed a little embarrassed: "I know that Xiao Li is studying at the moment. It was out of helplessness that I lied to him last time, causing him to be punished for no reason. I feel very sorry and want to apologize in person."

Dugu Chen doesn't care much about his grandchildren, but pays a lot of attention to them.All because of the sixth prince, the grandchildren of the direct relatives were tied up and punished to kneel, and there was resentment in their hearts.When Song Wei mentioned this matter, Dugu Chen snorted, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the prince of the other party coming to apologize to the prince of the Hou family.Or just because it was this prince who came to apologize, not the other prince, the matter seemed logical.Hearing what Song Wei said, she turned her head and told the servants: "Go and call the eldest son."

Song Wei hurriedly said: "Don't dare to bother the old Marquis too much, please help your servant to lead the way, I'll just go and see the eldest son."

Dugu Chen wished that he would quickly disappear from his eyes, and said: "The east courtyard has been empty, so please move over there, Your Highness, and take a rest."

Song Weili took his farewell thoughtfully, and followed his servants to the east courtyard of the Hou Mansion where he had lived for more than three months.The furnishings in the courtyard have not changed, as if they have returned to their own home.Song Wei swaggered into the main room and fell on the bed.Even Li Yi lived here for three months at the beginning, and he was familiar with the way and made tea and snacks.

After a while, I heard the sound of "dong dong dong" hurried footsteps outside the door, which was the sound of short-legged trotting.Song Wei immediately sat up.The door was knocked open with a "bang", and Dugu Lai rushed in.Seeing the person sitting on the bed, he stopped suddenly, his chest heaved, not only because he was running, but also because he was excited.

"Song, Brother Song!"

"Xiao Lai." Song smiled and waved at him.

Duguli didn't raise his leg: "You, you're not dead?" He stammered anxiously

Song Wei wondered: "I'm not dead——do you think I'm dead?"

Dugu Lai squeezed his fists and stared at him: "You are not dead, why don't you come back? You said go and come back quickly, but you didn't plan to come back at all, did you?"

It turned out that the child thought so.Song Wei said in her heart, go and come back quickly, I never said this, I'm afraid it was your dear sister who said it.At this moment, it would be too hurtful to be more serious.Walking up to the child, squatting down, touching his head, and asking softly, "Have you been spanked by your father? Does it hurt?"

Dugulai immediately remembered all the fright and grievances he had suffered because of Brother Song.After this year, I will be eating like a ten-year-old, and I feel that I have grown up a lot, and I am a man, and I can no longer cry like I was a child.I just tried my best to hold back but couldn't hold it back, tears fell down, sobbing: "You, uh, you lied to me...why are you, uh, you lied to me?"

Song Wei couldn't help but want to laugh.Knowing that he must not laugh at this time, he turned his head and coughed twice to cover up.Holding the child's shoulders to apologize: "Xiao Lai, I'm sorry."

Dugu Lai sobbed for a while, and asked, "Then, are you still leaving?"

Song Wei shook her head: "Well, I won't be leaving for now."

Dugu looked at him with blinking eyes: "Then...do you still live in our house?"

Song smiled: "I also have a house in the capital now, we can visit each other from time to time."

"Oh." Dugulai looked at him a few more times, and asked, "Brother Song, Daddy said last night that you are His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." of.Looking at Song Wei suspiciously: "Is it true? Are you really His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?"

"It's true." Song Wei thought about it, and added, "I don't like being a prince, so I ran out secretly. I lied to you because I was afraid that you would accidentally leak the news. It's not that Brother Song didn't believe you. Wait until you grow up The older you are, the more you will understand.”

Who knows that Dugu Lai said solemnly: "I understand. I don't like being the eldest son of Xianhou, and I often want to sneak out. But I can't bear my sister, if I run away, she will cry. And daddy will definitely arrest me Come back," he said, clutching his buttocks with lingering fear, "will still beat my ass to pieces..."

Song Wei rolled her eyes and almost looked up to the sky and sighed.How many lives have been wasted in vain, and no kid can figure it out.

Unexpectedly, Dugu asked again: "Brother Song, you are really His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, right?"

The child had ulterior motives on his face, not knowing what he was up to.Song Wei couldn't help laughing, and emphasized again with a smile: "Really. I won't lie to you this time."

"Then..." Dugu looked around, swished to close the door, and ran back.Anxious and worried face, "Brother Song, can you save sister, save sister?"

Song Wei was shocked: "What happened to your sister?"

"My sister was locked up by my father, and even I was not allowed to see her. My father even beat my sister. I have never seen my father beat my sister..." Dugu Lai's eyes turned red again when she said this.

Song Wei was shocked.What kind of urgent family matter did Dugu Mian return home to deal with last night, which actually caused the father and daughter to fight?Thinking about it again, Dugu Ying is silent on the surface, but bold in the dark, could it be that he has done something more amazing than releasing his father's male favorite privately?

Then he asked, "Why did your father beat your sister?"

Dugu Lai thought wholeheartedly that Brother Song was promoted to be a prince, and his rank was higher than that of his father. He recognized it, so he didn't go to the palace examination. Dad found out about it yesterday, and when he came back at night, he was very angry..."

The Jingzhao Yamen and the Suwei Army jointly searched for the missing No. 10 Jinshi. After searching and searching, they found a servant who was sent for the examination.According to the clues leaked from his words, deeds and utensils, he followed the clues until he found the Xianhou Mansion.After Dugu received the report from the deputy general of Su Weijun, he only had time to leave a message for Song Wei, and immediately rushed home to interrogate his daughter.Duguying confessed and didn't repent at all, and almost killed his father from anger.

Song Wei recovered from the shock, and couldn't help admiring: "Only the top ten in the palace examination can go, your sister is so amazing!"

Dugulai was close to his frequency band, and immediately echoed when he heard the words: "Yes, I also think my sister is very good. During the spring examination last year, my husband said that if my sister was a man, she would definitely be able to pass most of the scholars. She really took the exam when she was on Enke. No wonder she was sneaky and pretended to be sick to prevent me from passing. I really want to see how she looks in men's clothes..."

Dugu Lai's focus was clearly all off.

When Dugu hurried home last night, he was asking about homework in his sister's room.Because the siblings were very close, the father and his son were interrogated together, so Duguli was present from the beginning to the end.During the reprimand, it was inevitable to dig up old accounts, Song Wei's identity was public, there was no need to keep concealing it, so he exposed His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince by the way.

Duguying disguised herself as a man to take the imperial examination. This matter is quite big, but it is not too big if it is not too big.Anyway, Song Wei didn't think it was something worth fighting.Don't you see those Hua Mulan daughters-in-law and the like are all passed down as good stories.Besides, a girl, in this era, has such courage and talent, at least Song Wei really admires it.How proud I am to have such an awesome daughter.Dugu, an old antique, actually beats up people.

Ask Dugu Lai: "Is this why your father beat your sister?"

"Well, daddy asked who gave my sister the certificate, but my sister never said anything. Dad was so angry that he slapped my sister. Dad asked me again, but I really don't know..."

Song Wei understood immediately.Miss Hou Fu disguised herself as a man to take the imperial examination, maybe it wasn't serious, but the serious thing was that her family didn't know about it, who did it for her by forging her identity?Duguying refuses to say, it's clearly the rhythm of eating inside and outside.Rich people are most taboo about this.

Dugu Lai said anxiously: "Brother Song, Daddy locked my sister in the attic, and won't give her food if she doesn't admit her mistake. Please save her, okay?"

Song Wei stroked her chin and pondered.Looking at Dugu Ying's acting style, it really doesn't look like he would be so stunned. Could it be that there is something inside?But that is the housework of the Hou Mansion, no matter what happens to Dugu, she will not starve her daughter to death.What really matters is to wipe out the bad influence of Miss Dugu deceiving the emperor and disturbing the government as soon as possible.

In any case, let's repay the favor of Young Master Dugu first.

Ask Dugu Lai: "Little Lai, in the past, if your siblings made mistakes and caused disasters, would it be useful to ask your grandfather for mercy?"

Dugulai frowned: "It doesn't matter, grandpa is always on daddy's side... and daddy is not allowed to tell about this matter, grandpa doesn't know yet."

I see.Song Wei nodded, the old man did not spoil his grandchildren.If Old Master Hou knew about this, he would definitely not let Dugu Lai have a chance to meet him.

"Then...who will plead for mercy?"

Dugulai suddenly burst into tears: "It would be great if grandma didn't die, as long as I hide with grandma, daddy won't be angry..."

Song Wei tilted his head and suggested, "What about your uncle and aunt? Are they useful?"

Dugu Lai was inspired by this, and immediately stopped crying: "Ah, Brother Song, you are right, the eldest aunt likes the elder sister the most, and it will definitely work if she pleads with Daddy!"

Song Wei continued to inspire: "Is this good? I'll try my best to tell your father, and you can also find a way to inform your aunt, how about it?" While talking, she blinked her eyes.

Dugulai worried: "But I can't leave the house...Brother Song, can you tell my aunt for me?"

Song Wei shook her head: "I'm not familiar with your uncle and aunt, they won't believe me. For such an important matter, there must be someone who is familiar with and reliable, right?" While speaking, she continued to blink her eyes.

Dugu looked at him in a daze for a while, and suddenly realized: "Ah! Brother Song, there is a way!"

So when Song Wei left Xianhou's Mansion, a young man who was most trusted by Prince Dugu was mixed into the team.The boy slipped away halfway and went straight to Duke Cheng's mansion.The sixth prince and his party entered the palace leisurely, greeted the emperor and had lunch.

On the other side, the guards sent by Qin Xian to report to the Suweijun Yamen were in vain, because Dugu went down to report to the emperor and plead guilty, and did not return to the Yamen in time.The emperor didn't know how to solve Duguying's matter for a while, so he scolded Marquis Xian and kicked him out.After Dugu arrived at Suweijun's yamen, he realized that Song Wei had gone to his own house, so he hurried to the Hou's mansion.When he entered the door, the sixth prince had already left, without touching him at all.

Song Wei stayed in the palace until after dinner.Caught by the emperor, he read the memorial for a long time, and then played two games of bad-smelling chess with him.The emperor didn't mention Enke's matter, and Song Wei didn't ask about it either, just trying to make his father happy.

Finally returning to the palace, Lan Di, the housekeeper who was staying in the mansion, immediately greeted him: "Master Hou is waiting for His Highness, we have been waiting for a long time."

Song Wei raised the corners of her mouth in the twilight and smiled faintly.
