The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

After entering September, all kinds of rumors and rumors about the sixth prince spread to all directions of Daxia centered on the two major cities of Xidu and the capital without him being aware of it.

The culture of Xianxi is the most curious and open, and the people have a strong spirit of entertainment.The identity of the birth mother of the sixth prince is mysterious. I have been living among the people for 20 years. I was established as a prince shortly after my return. She is young and handsome, romantic and passionate, can drink, sing, ride and shoot, and is good at bow... All these are enough to attract attention and create The topic quickly sparked a powerful gossip about the secrets of the royal family.

Ordinary people generally don't consider who is suitable to be a prince from a political point of view, it is probably more similar to the audition activities of entertainment programs for later generations.Whoever has a miserable life experience, looks good, and has many talents is easier to win the vast majority of popular votes.The new prince is full of stories, and with the help of caring people, his popularity has skyrocketed.It is conceivable that in a few more months, I am afraid that it will exceed the sum of the former prince's 20 years of low-key accumulation.

At the beginning, Song Wei himself perfunctorily produced countless versions of the adventures in the southern border in the Fanfang Persia Winery, and finally spread it inside and outside Daxia through the mouths of various Fan merchants and Xuanmen disciples wandering around.In this way, the image of the sixth prince as loyal, courageous, wise and courageous has also been established.

Ever since the emperor fell ill three years ago, and then the third prince, Concubine Shi Gui, had a change in the palace, the royal family hadn't had a big fuss for a long time.So all the people in the government and the public looked forward to it, waiting to see the new crown prince's canonization ceremony and wedding ceremony.

From mid-September, the interior and exterior of the Imperial City, the Prince's Mansion, and the main streets of the capital began to be decorated.Many shops and households in the city took out the lanterns and curtains that had just been put away for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and hung them extravagantly, beaming with joy.

When Song Wei was urged by Zongzheng Siqing to try on the dress again and again, she felt nothing but inexplicable irritability.The matter of getting married and marrying a wife was really imprinted in his mind when he was escorted by the Duke of Ming to carefully study and practice the various etiquettes of the big wedding.To be honest, looking back on the remaining memories of several lifetimes, this kind of experience is still the first time.It feels weird and absurd, and a little at a loss.

The canonization ceremony of the prince is similar to the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and conferring the title of King Xiu, and there is no pressure.But the wedding ceremony is cumbersome and unfamiliar, and all kinds of strange and solemn precautions and etiquette requirements make people crazy.Compared with the essence of this marriage, these superficial forms full of symbolic meaning are especially absurd.Song Wei wrote absurdly absurdly, so with the professionalism that absurdly has become accustomed to, he memorized the links such as invitations, house making, make-up reminders, weddings, etc., as if he was participating in an encyclopedia knowledge contest.

Although at the moment of making up your mind, you already know what will follow.When all of these things became real, every step of the way, Song Wei looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh—the pressure was huge, and the depression was deep!

He learned from Cheng Guogong that the eldest daughter of Xianhou's mansion got married, and the woman in charge of the marriage was Mrs. Cheng Guogong, that is, the bride's aunt.Marquis Xian resigned from the early court on the grounds of marrying a daughter. In fact, except for patrolling the city every day, he just spent time in the northern part of the city to handle official duties and basically ignored family affairs.

As early as when he decided to choose Duguying as the crown princess, the emperor directly sent someone to send a letter to the old Hou Ye Duguchen, explaining the reasons for the inside story.Dugu Chen called his son to scold him, but in the end he had no choice but to do anything, since he had enough energy to spare, so he simply let go and ignored him.

Every time Song Wei hears this, she can't wait to seal Yu Wengao's mouth with raw glue.As a result, not only did he not shut his mouth every time, but he also listened to the end with a blank expression.Why didn't he understand what Cheng Guogong meant.Although Xianhou can no longer play the role of lover, he is indeed a loyal and capable minister.As a future monarch, we must treasure and cherish it.Cheng Guogong never got a reply or a statement from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he did not hesitate to make euphemistic admonitions in different ways.

As soon as Song Wei heard Dugu Ying's reaction, she knew that Dugu Ying cooperated very well.The sixth prince told Xianhou that he liked his daughter, but Xianhou would definitely not believe it.But Miss Dugu and her father confessed their admiration for His Royal Highness King Xiu, and once took advantage of His Royal Highness's residence to recuperate his wounds to wait for an opportunity to express his love, but Xianhou would most likely believe it.

Song Wei thought to herself: After Dugu, your daughter loves the yuppie Xiao Wenqing.Although his first love was a scumbag, his taste didn't change that easily.You scumbag, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to find out...

September 26.In the morning, the prince canonization ceremony will be held.Woke up early in the morning, proclaimed the edict and received the imperial seal all the way to pay homage to heaven and ancestors. After tossing and tossing non-stop, it was already past noon.Others still had a serious lunch, Song Wei hurriedly ate a few snacks, and was arrested to change clothes to prepare for the wedding.

Weddings in the Xianxi Dynasty also followed the ancient system, and the ceremony was held at dusk, leaving just enough time to welcome the bride.

The chariot and horse team to welcome the relatives set off from the palace and headed for Xianhou Mansion.How gorgeous and magnificent, needless to say.Because they couldn't help coming in and out outside the warning distance, the people in the capital could say that they came out all over the city, and the alleys were empty, just to see the new prince's face and demeanor.

The emperor forced his sick body, accompanied by his cronies, to climb to the gate of the palace to overlook.Song Wei knew that it was one thing for the emperor to witness the whole process to comfort Lao Huai, but more importantly, he was afraid that he would change his mind temporarily and run away, so he simply sat on top of his head and supervised to the end.

According to the rules, the groom must personally drive a carriage to meet the bride. Song Wei has a royal guard on the left and right sides, and he himself is just putting on a show.Looking up at the canopy above the gate tower that marks where the emperor is, I said to myself, "Hey, my son, I can't jump off the car even if I want to, so why don't you worry about it...

The sky gradually darkened, and the wedding chariots and horses arrived at the woman's house just before dark at an auspicious time.The emperor specially sent some of the most talented servants to serve as bridesmaids, and gorgeous and festive makeup reminder poems followed one after another.The accompanying maids, congratulators, and onlookers were laughing and joking, scrambling to help and yelling: "The new wife, come out! Come out!"

The audience cheered so much, Song Wei felt that as a leading actor, she had to work hard.He stood up, bowed repeatedly with a smile on his face, and finally pushed open the door of the Hou Mansion.

The carriage went straight into the front yard of the Hou Mansion amidst the cheers of the crowd.The bride's two younger brothers led Feng Guanxiapei's older sister out and sent them to the car.

When the bride got into the car, Dugu Mian was standing behind her daughter.Song Wei's gaze went to both sides, and his mind wandered in emptiness.In the eyes, there is a pair of brothers, Dugu Li and Dugushi, the elder brother is full of grievances, and the younger brother is serious and dignified.A thought involuntarily popped into my mind: If you are a father, please transfer to Dongnan and leave.The elder sister is afraid that she will marry with two oil bottles.Today's scene is just a rehearsal.

He didn't want to see Dugu Mian, but Dugu Mian wanted to talk to him.

Before the crown prince boarded the car, Xianhou took a step forward and said, "Your Highness."

Song Wei slowly turned her head.

The Xianhou Mansion has been deserted for many years. Tonight, the lights are shining, the stars and candles are shining brightly, the splendor is dazzling, and the brocade mantle is condensed.Relatives, friends, congratulators, maidservants and servants in the courtyard are all dressed up in colorful clothes and are in high spirits.

Song Wei decided to give Zu Xianhou face.Smiling attentively, politely: "What orders does Mr. Yue Zhang have?"

Dugu's expression froze, and then he returned to normal, staring straight at him, and slowly said: "Ying'er... treats His Highness with infatuation, I... implore Your Highness... don't... let her down."

Song Wei didn't seem to expect him to say such a sentence, the smile on her face froze for a while, before she said: "Don't worry, I won't treat her badly."

Turning his head and lifting his legs, he stepped onto the car.

"Your Highness!"

Song Wei stopped her movements: "What orders does Hou Ye have?"

"My little girl has to be married to her husband, but I have a lot of things on my mind. After the wedding ceremony, I will go to the Fuwei barracks to inspect the defense of the capital. In addition, His Highness probably already knows that I... Please transfer to the southeast, and His Majesty has already agreed. Just wait... In the future, His Highness will ascend the Great Treasure, and the minister will go to the southeast to garrison. So... I will not bid farewell to His Highness alone."

Song Wei maintained the posture of one leg straddling the carriage pedal, looked at the lively and laughing crowd, and nodded: "En."

Dugu then lowered his volume: "I... I hope that Your Highness... is safe and healthy, and that everything goes smoothly."

The bridesmaid waiting outside the gate of Hou's mansion had already started to urge her, Song Wei knew that she couldn't delay any longer.

"May the Marquis of Xian go here... to spread his reputation abroad, and he will succeed in no time."

He jumped into the carriage and drove out slowly.

The official wedding ceremonies and banquets for officials are all held in the Zichen Hall in the palace.The Prince's Mansion also set up several banquets, dedicated to entertaining close relatives and guests.After paying homage to the parents and ancestors of heaven and earth in the palace, toasting a round of wine to the congratulatory officials, the carriage drove the newlyweds back to the Prince's Mansion.After drinking the wedding wine under the witness of the closest relatives and friends, the best man announces the completion of the ceremony, and the whole ceremony is considered to be over.

According to the custom of Xianxi, the cup of acacia wine is held by a boy in colorful clothes.It happened that there were two young sons who had just entered school in Duanwang's mansion, so they took on this important task.Among the man's relatives, neither the emperor nor King An could come out to accompany the wine, so King Duan was obliged to volunteer and stay in the prince's mansion to entertain the guests.This job is easy and pleasant, and it can also take the opportunity to improve the relationship with the sixth child. Song Fei is very devoted to it.

Ever since he said a few words alone in the Xianhou Mansion, Dugu Mian really didn't look at the sixth prince again.Meticulous, step by step to complete the etiquette that needs to appear on the stage, when the guests are drinking happily, at some point, they quietly leave.

Song Wei originally planned to drink a few more glasses and passed out after getting drunk.Later, I remembered that I had to negotiate with Duguying at night, and I would definitely suffer a loss if my mind was confused, so I stopped angrily.Thanks to King Duan's strength, he led a group of noble children to hold the wine for the prince.So when Song Wei was pushed into the new house, she was quite sober.

Money scorches the eyes and spreads gold accounts, and red candles burn red makeup.Eyes dazzled with joy.

Song Wei waved back the group of waiters, leaving only Li Yishou inside and outside.Stepping into the last door, I saw two girls, Xiang Jin and Mu Jin, and asked, "How is your young lady?"

After the two maidservants finished their salutes, they said: "Miss is well, waiting for Your Highness."

Song Wei nodded: "Get me some cold water. Is there anything to eat?"

Xiang Jin went out to fetch water, Mu Jin led him behind the screen, and the table of wine and food remained still.

Dugu Ying had already taken off the hijab by herself, and sat on the other side of the couch leaning on the soft cushion.

Song Wei was so hungry that her chest stuck to her back, she sat down at the table and started eating.After eating a few mouthfuls, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

Li Yi hid soup, medicine and meals in the carriage in advance because he was afraid that the eldest lady would not be able to support him to the end.At this moment, the ceremony was finally over, and the hearts of several insiders were relieved, and they were all exhausted.

Dugu Ying is not quite used to the prince's behavior, he was slightly taken aback, and then said: "The concubine did not wait for His Highness, but already had a meal by herself, Your Highness, please forgive me."

Song Wei took a few more bites, and said vaguely: "You and I don't need to be so hypocritical, just do what you want. Don't be hungry and have trouble."

After wolfing down his meal, he washed his face with cold water and signaled the two maidservants to go out and guard.Pull up a chair and sit opposite Dugu Ying.

"I will stay in the mansion for these three days. You and your girl will sleep inside the screen, and I will sleep outside the screen. After these three days, I will live in the palace. Li Yi will come back every day. If there is anything wrong, tell him to send a message. Ask him to do whatever you want. The guards in the mansion are all members of the court guards, and the closest guards are three feet outside the main bedroom corridor. If you don’t call them, they won’t come.”

Duguying stood up, bowed and worshiped: "Your Highness's kindness is unforgettable; I can't repay you with a grass ring. The concubine had originally planned to follow His Highness's suggestion and seek shelter from Master Xuanqing. I didn't expect..."

Song Wei waved his hand: "Come on. There's no need to talk about these nonsense now." Suppressing the boredom in his heart, he asked, "Why did you tell your father? He didn't get suspicious at all? Mu Ping really didn't talk too much?"

Dugu Ying sat up straighter and said calmly: "It is exactly as His Highness expected, when Daddy returned home that day, he questioned me in private. I admire Your Highness from Chen, and I dared to confess my love to him, but he was furious, but he couldn't do anything. Your Highness may not know , Dad once promised that I would choose my own husband, and he would never interfere, so..."

Hearing this, Song Wei opened her mouth in a daze, feeling bitter and funny in her heart, pounding her chair and laughing loudly.

"Ha! What a coincidence, your father promised you to choose someone yourself, and my father promised me to choose someone myself. They probably never dreamed that they would choose someone in the end. Haha..."

Dugu Ying refused to laugh with him, and continued to say in a serious manner: "The matter Li Yuyi ordered me is not difficult. Originally... the original fetus was less than four months old, and it has not yet conceived. Thanks to Li Yuyi's good medicine, the pregnancy The symptoms improved day by day, and there was no obvious abnormality at that time. My father entrusted the marriage to my aunt. How can he talk about the matter? How could father ask him about the private conversation between father and daughter? When the news of the prince's marriage came, General Mou was puzzled. Doctor Li has already explained it carefully to His Highness."

On the ninth night of the eighth lunar month, the young lady had an emergency attack. Although Mou Ping didn't see it, based on the movement and Li Yi's hints, he could naturally guess what the illness was.Afterwards, Song Wei issued a banning order, and he saw the young miss talking with his father alone, so it was logical that the two had confessed to Lord Hou.In fact, as long as the eldest lady was not sneaked in and got pregnant when he was in charge of security work in the mansion, this matter has nothing to do with him.Regarding the private affairs of the main lady, it is the best policy to pretend not to know or not to see or listen.

On August 24th, Dugu Mian was so angry by Song Wei in the palace that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, so she hurried home to confront her daughter.This matter has nothing to do with Mu Ping from the beginning to the end.On August [-], the emperor changed the crown prince and gave him a marriage. Mou Ping was shocked and full of suspicion.It just so happened that Li Yuyi was in the mansion for a follow-up consultation with the eldest lady. General Mou took the opportunity to secretly stop her and inquire about it.

Li Yi said sadly: "General, there is no need to worry. The child was not saved in the end. The eldest lady is resting. A few days ago, His Majesty and Lord Hou urged His Highness to choose a concubine, and His Highness angrily chose the eldest lady. It was a mistake, so it was decided like this." That's it. General Mou, you and I can just sit on the sidelines, but don't make any more trouble."

Seeing that Master Hou was depressed and in a very bad state, Mu Ping wanted to persuade him at first.After a few more thoughts, I held back again.The sixth prince is established as the prince at this time, so he will definitely be the emperor.If my Lord Hou really continues to be so ambiguous with the future emperor, who knows if it will cause disaster in the future.It's not a bad thing to get rid of it.In all fairness, for Miss Tai to marry as a crown prince, both for Lord Hou and for Dugu, there is a lot of benefit and no harm.

Balancing left and right, Mou Ping thinks Li Yuyi's sentence "don't add more chaos" is really pertinent.

Song Wei listened to Duguying's words, and contacted Duguying's actions today, it can be seen that Mouping really did not add trouble.He thought to himself, if it were Qin Xian's straight heart, he would definitely not be able to hide this matter.Mu Ping is a smart person, and a smart person thinks a lot, but it is not easy to expose him.

Said: "In a few months at most, Li Yi and my father will report the news that the princess is pregnant. You should know it."

Duguying bowed his head in response.

Song Wei leaned back in the chair, half-closed her eyes: "Now, let's talk about the three chapters of agreement between you and me."
