The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

The adult princes of the Xianxi Dynasty are eligible to attend the court meeting even if they have no actual position.Under normal circumstances, no one would be too tempted not to participate.Even those who are lazy and unwilling to move, such as His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Duanwang, in order to obtain information, maintain their image, show concern for state affairs, and show sympathy for their father, they will always try their best to get up on time and doze off to go to the morning court.

So far, the only one who has never participated in the regular morning court is the sixth prince, King Xiu.Then again, the other princes all had administrative duties, even if it was just an honorary title.Only King Xiu, probably the time is too short, the emperor has not had time to seal anything.If Song Wei didn't come to the morning court, at most he would give people a lazy impression, and he had nothing else to say.

Therefore, Zongzheng Temple has received the imperial edict to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness King Xiu, and the person concerned is still sleeping with his head covered, thinking that it will take a while.

After the emperor came down from the court that day, he sent his servants to Prince Xiu's mansion to pass the decree, ordering the six princes to attend the early court from now on, and there must be no mistakes.

When Song Wei heard the emperor's oral order, she was sitting with Dong Sang on the top of the octagonal pavilion in the green peach forest and shooting slingshots.The night before last night, he and Dugu Mian stayed on the top of the pavilion for midnight, and he selectively forgot about everything else, except for the cool breeze and the good view.So he climbed up from the branch with hands and feet, called Dongsang together, and hit Taozi with a slingshot.

It turned out that after the flowering period, the green peach trees in the yard were densely covered with fruit.Song Wei asked the gardener specifically, and said that this variety is specially for enjoying flowers, and the fruit taste is not good, and regretting it, she used it as a target to play with a slingshot.This peach fruit is not delicious, but it still attracts many birds to peck at it and adds many live targets.Dongsang practiced Taoism and refused to kill, so the two just made clay balls and put them on the slingshot, specially to scare and tease the birds.

Qingyun stood under the pavilion, finished conveying the emperor's oral order, and waited for the sixth prince to reply.

Blue Indigo stood on one side, knelt down on behalf of the master to receive the order to thank the master Long En.Fortunately, it was just a verbal instruction, if it was a royal decree of yellow silk, a crowd of people would have kowtowed at the incense table, and the master would still be squatting on the top of the pavilion and shooting a slingshot.

Butler Lan can receive orders for His Royal Highness King Xiu, but cannot answer for him.

Relying on the friendship of the sixth prince who once lived in the bedroom, Qingyun stood on tiptoe and said in a sharp voice: "The gate of Lingxiao opens at Maoshi, and all officials gather outside Lingxiao Hall at three quarters of Maoshi. Your Highness must not miss the hour tomorrow."

"Puff! Puff!" After a few sounds, something slammed on the toes, startled the chief servant and chief executive to jump up and down.When I looked closely, I recognized several mud pills.

Song Wei lay lazily on the tiled surface: "Got it."

As for Dongsang, in order to avoid the misfortune of the fish pond, he jumped off the gazebo a long time ago and swished back to his room.

Qing Yun patted his chest with a stiff smile, Lan Di pulled him to drink tea in the front hall to calm down his shock.

Butler Lan frowned and sighed: "Oh, why did this happen? When His Majesty the Sixth Highness was with His Majesty in the palace, father and son were good."

Qingyun knew much better than him, so he sighed and felt that the emperor specially asked Yao'er to restrain him.Recalling that the sixth prince was willing to stay in the palace at the beginning, it was only because the emperor was seriously ill, a thought flashed in his mind, he left immediately, and went back to the palace to share his worries with His Majesty.

Song Wei lay alone on the top of the pavilion looking at the sky.Hearing a "whoosh" from his side, he turned his head, and sure enough, the boy Dongsang came back again, still holding two jars of wine in his hand.

Daxie: "The one who knows me is Dongsang!"

One jar per person, touch the mouth of the jar lightly, and start drinking.

Dong Sang is a typical well-behaved boy, before he moved into Prince Xiu's Mansion, he never drank alcohol.Song Wei used wine to meet a confidant, and a thousand cups are rare, there are many heroes in the world who get drunk, and there is a way in the world when drunk... Shaken by many fallacies and heresies, he began to learn to drink from him, and made rapid progress.

The two have very different personalities and experiences, but their brain frequencies are extremely compatible in some aspects. In just a few months, the more they get along, the more harmonious they become.

Dong Sang is the apprentice of Master Baoying, but this apprentice was sent by someone else, and he has a different origin.Baoying real person is proficient in medicine and pharmacology, but not good at fighting.Dongsang's martial arts come from his family.Last year, Song Wei went out to fight, the emperor was critically ill again, Baoying real person went to the palace for diagnosis and treatment, and Dongsang went back for a few months because of family affairs.Now that the emperor is in good health, it is said that Master Baoying should have left the palace long ago.Probably the two old men hit it off too much, and there were fewer and fewer old brothers who could chat with the emperor, so Sun Baoying was left in the palace for a long time.

Song Wei learned about this while chatting with Dongsang, but didn't ask in detail.

The two were drinking slowly, and Dongsang asked, "Are you going to court tomorrow?"

Song Wei shook his head: "No."

Dongsang's eyes lit up: "Then shall we still chase the pigeons?"

Song Wei couldn't help laughing: "Go after the pigeons. Xiao Li will come too."

If Duguli was present, there would probably be one more question, what should I do if I don't go to the early court, Dongsang didn't even have this question.Song Wei felt from the bottom of her heart that as long as she talked to these two, her whole body would be comfortable.

The so-called chasing pigeons is a new game developed by the three of them.It's not yet August, the weather is not cold, and the dawn is early. As soon as the sun comes out, the pigeons are released.Song Wei and Dong Sang set off from Prince Xiu's Mansion, and Dugu Lai set off from Xianhou Mansion.The four pigeons meet halfway, perhaps because the scenery in Dongcheng is the best, and they often fly to the bank of Luoxia Lake before returning.The two sides compete to see who will catch up to the finish line first.On Song Wei's side, there is the donkey, Nang Ang, who is holding back, and on Dugu Li's side, there is a brother Tuyouping who can't ride well.

Before dawn the next day, Li Yi and others urged His Royal Highness King Xiu to get up and pack up, ready to go to court.Song Wei deliberately went against the grain, and moved slowly without saying a word. She had to defecate and pee in a while, and dragged on until she had to be late. The two housekeepers inside and outside were so anxious that they broke out in sweat.Finally got on the horse and went out, Song Wei threw the court clothes into Qin Xian's hand, turned around and ran away.On the other side, Dongsang let out the pigeons, rode a horse, and brought Nang Ang along with him. He came out from the back door of the palace with a smile, and met him at the fork.

They ran wildly all the way, and finally gathered by Luoxia Lake.Dugu Lai saw Song Wei and Dong Sang from afar, and waved his hands happily.Qin Xian had one head and three big ones, and couldn't laugh or cry.The early dynasty couldn't catch up no matter what, so they had to send people into the palace to report to the emperor, and stayed behind to protect the sixth prince.

In the early morning, there were not many idlers, but the blue sky was vast, the mountains and rivers were quiet, and the scenery was particularly beautiful.

The entourage of the Xianhou Mansion laid out a few simple cases and presented a food box.Everyone eats and drinks, which is the most comfortable thing.

Song Wei looked at the sparkling lake, and suddenly said to Dugu Lai: "Little Lai, if I don't have time in the morning, you and Brother Dongsang can chase pigeons to play."

"Hey, brother Xiaoyin, why are you not free in the morning?"

"I might..." Song Wei scratched her hair, "I have to go to court early."

"Oh..." Dugu La was a little disappointed, but not surprised.Brother Xiaoyin is the prince, so it's normal for him to go to court early.

As a prince, getting married and going to court are the most basic obligations.

Song Wei thought: I didn't come back to be a prince.After so many things, I thought the emperor's father understood, but he still didn't understand.After all, I underestimated the stubbornness of being a king and a father.

Or, in fact, everyone else understands, and the only one who doesn't understand is yourself.

The surface of the lake is shimmering and unpredictable.Under the lively and lovely light and shadow, there is a deep and turbulent undercurrent.

The six princes are going to get married, and King Xiu is going to court, all of which are things that should happen after recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan.But the sixth prince is unwilling to get married, and also unwilling to go to court.The emperor was well aware of his temper, but if he insisted on such an arrangement, he might be unable to step down from the court.

Could it be that the old man is addicted to looking for abuse?

What is he trying to do?

And Dugu...how much does he know?

Intuitively smelling a hint of conspiracy, Song Wei held the puff pastry in her hand and put her brains into it.However, the brain capacity is not enough after all. After thinking about it, I have a headache, and I can't think of a reason.

"Brother Xiaoyin, isn't the shortbread delicious?"

Hearing Dugu Lai's question, Song Wei realized that the cake in her hand had already been completely cooled.

"It's delicious. I'm full. Let's go back." Song Wei stood up, made a gesture, and half of the shortbread flew out obliquely, and was thrown into the water to feed the fish.

No matter what the emperor thinks, don't do what you don't want to do, and no one can force me.

Duguli was full of words waiting to be told to Xiaoyin's elder brother, because Song Wei's expression and posture were suddenly different, so he couldn't say a word.

His Highness the Sixth Highness refused to go to the morning court, so the servants couldn't tie him up.The emperor didn't send anyone to remind him, and it seemed that nothing happened.Originally, every afternoon, he was supposed to go to the palace to copy the book and pay his respects, but now Song Wei automatically canceled it.Other miscellaneous activities in the palace, if you don't come to invite, of course you won't go.I made a special trip to invite you, but I still won't go.Within a few days of this, news spread that the emperor was ill again, and had not made an early court visit for three consecutive days.

When someone came from the palace again, saying that His Majesty missed the sixth prince when he was ill, and invited the sixth prince to visit him in the palace, Song Wei finally let go.

Quarrels and cold wars, even if they work, are not good ways.Always try face to face, the possibility of communication.

Seeing His Highness nodding, Lan Butler hastily summoned servants and maidservants to tidy up and change their clothes.Song Wei called Dong Sang over: "You haven't seen Master for a long time, right? Go into the palace with me and talk to your master." When the steward went out to arrange the entourage, he immediately waved the servants out of the room and talked to Dong Sang. Sang Chi Chi Gugu bit his ear for a while.

A group of people entered the palace smoothly, but saw a few people standing outside the gate of the bedroom, their clothes and equipment were quite similar to the group behind Song Wei.Lan Di caught up with him and reported in a low voice, "It's His Royal Highness King An."

Song Wei and the second prince had already taken many photos, but they didn't leave a good impression.Last time in the shooting competition, I was too busy playing tricks on the fourth prince, so I didn't pay attention to him.She didn't take Dugu Mian's stupid remarks seriously afterwards.Today, I was going to have a formal heart-to-heart talk with the emperor, and I was too lazy to socialize with idle people. When I heard that King An was inside, I turned to Dongsang and said, "Then I'll go with you to see the real person first."

This is completely against the rules.Butler Lan pleaded helplessly and stood in front.

During the tug-of-war, the second prince came out.This time it was Song Wei who was helpless, and stood with her head bowed: "I have seen the second brother."

King An has been recuperating from illness all year round, he does not see the sun, he is fair and thin, and looks very gentle.Just the same, don't talk.Opening your mouth will hurt others, and when you become mean, even your own father will not let it go.

When first persuading the fourth child, it had nothing to do with him, and he was quite calm.This time, King Xiu chose his concubine, as the only remaining single prince, who was favored by the emperor and attracted many covetous.The second prince couldn't help being entangled by his aunt and aunt, so he came to recommend his little cousin to the emperor, and seeing the culprit, he couldn't help feeling extremely irritable.

"It turned out to be the sixth brother. You can be regarded as coming. I don't know how much the portrait of a noble lady is on the royal father's case. I just wait for the sixth brother to pick it. The father chooses the concubine for the sixth brother. Worrying and exhausting, the old disease has relapsed. Six In my father's heart, my brother's life-long event is probably more important than government affairs and military affairs."

Song Wei was taken aback for a moment, then became furious.He turned his head and stared at Lan Di and Qin Xian who were following behind him.Those two people obviously didn't dare to look at him, and avoided him humbly.

Song Wei sneered inwardly: The whole world knows that I want to marry a daughter-in-law, but I don't know it myself.

Leaning at Wang An: "It's not a strange thing for a father to pick a daughter-in-law who fell ill from exhaustion. Brother Huang has always been in poor health. It's really rare to talk about a sister-in-law who has never been married so energetic. My younger brother is rude and hasn't come to the door yet. Paying respects, Brother Lao conveys greetings to the emperor's wife, nephews and nieces on behalf of the younger brother."

After finishing speaking, he raised his leg and entered the courtyard door of the bedroom.

"You!" Wang An's pale face flushed red with anger when he met a master who was meaner than himself for the first time.Trying to bear it, Song Wei's provocative eyes could not help replaying in his mind, thinking angrily, what a pity for those similar eyes.

Song Wei hurriedly rushed into the bedroom, but the internal attendant who was passed on couldn't stop him, so he trotted in and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Highness is here!"

The emperor chose a concubine for King Xiu, almost with great fanfare, thinking that it would soon be passed on to his son's ears through the mouth of others, waiting to see how he reacted.After a few days of the cold war, I was secretly happy, thinking that it was a sign that my son had begun to compromise.But he didn't expect that Song Wei was in a bad mood these days and didn't interact with friends at all.Xue San, who always took the initiative to report when he was well-informed, happened to return to his hometown to get married and had not yet returned.The guards in Prince Xiu's mansion are all from the Marquis Xian's side, and it is impossible to reveal it if they know it.Li Yi and Lan Di were on the emperor's side, but they were frightened by the Sixth Highness. Without the emperor's express words, neither of them would be willing to be cannon fodder.In this way, Song Wei walked to the door of the bedroom and happened to bump into the second prince before learning about it.

Therefore, it is worthless to count a thousand calculations and a bad character.

The emperor sent someone to invite his youngest son into the palace every day, but he never invited him once, and he didn't expect him to come today, but he did.Of course the picture of the beauties on the royal case was not taken away, the medicine bowl was hurriedly placed in a prominent position, and as soon as he made a weaker appearance and leaned against the head of the bed again, his son came in.

"Cough! Cough...Xiao Yin, you are here..."

Song Wei stopped in her tracks.Full of resentment and anger, facing the wrinkled face of the emperor, his joy was beyond words, and he suddenly choked.The frail old man in front of him is his biological father in this life.He is also the latest, but most competent father in several lifetimes.

If you can't bear to be hard, then let's be soft.

Go forward a few steps and walk to the dragon bed.He suddenly bent his knees and knelt down slowly.

"Father, you withdraw the imperial decree to choose a concubine."

The emperor looked at him at the same level: "Xiao Yin, this is a big deal, you have no joke."

"Father, I'm not going to fief, I'll just stay in the capital. Don't get a woman to scare me. It's not easy for us father and son, can't we all feel at ease?"

"It's not easy for a father and son...Xiao Yin, since you recognize me as a father, you should know that I am also an emperor. You are my son, so you are naturally a prince. How do you know that this discomfort is not for the future Take it easy? I won't hurt you after all..."

Well, we couldn't reach an agreement, so we had to turn over our cards.

"Father, although I recognize my ancestors and return to the clan, and my mother's tablet has also entered the ancestral temple, I have never given filial piety to my mother. Speaking of it, it is too unfilial. Starting today, I will keep filial piety for my mother who died early for three years. She rests in the Nine Springs." Song Wei said solemnly, and silently apologized to her mother.If she is really her own mother, she will definitely not blame her son for making such a bad move out of helplessness.

After hearing a few words from him, the emperor felt as if he lost his soul and was completely stunned.

Suddenly regaining consciousness, he slammed his fist on the bed hard: "I won't allow it! Nizi! Do you want me to die without regret?"
