The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

In May of the first year of Chengxing, the eldest son of the emperor was born.

The new emperor has been enthroned for more than half a year, and he has become more and more popular among the people. He won a man in one fell swoop, which is naturally celebrated by the whole world.The people pinched their fingers and counted, yo, the baby was born in only seven months.According to the official explanation, Dao was the queen who was young and had her first child born prematurely.This reason is also justified.Of course, it is unavoidable that there are those who love to gossip, speculate that the emperor and empress are deeply in love, and that the pre-marriage is secretly tied, and so on.

In Qingxia Temple, the courtyard where Marquis Xian brought the six princes whose identities have not been revealed back to Beijing lived, the space is large enough, and the location is secluded, where the empress raised her fetus and gave birth.

Song Wei looked at the chubby little face exposed in the swaddling baby, stretched out his finger to poke it, and quickly retracted it.

It's so soft, it's almost like a balloon filled with water. It makes people worry that if you use a little more force, it will be punctured, and then the water will drip all over the bed.But it's so slippery, after poking it like this, the fingertips seem to be covered with a layer of gelatin, and I can't help but twist it for a while.Song Wei gently fiddled with the baby's swollen cheeks, reluctant to stop.The soft and tender little face was like a ball of jelly, and it trembled and trembled with his movements.

His Majesty the Emperor had a good time, and every time he fiddled with it, he couldn't help dubbing it: "Boying..." The lingering sound lingered, weird and vivid.

Xiang Jin was stunned by his surprise, and it took a while to recover, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, no!" She was an insider, paused, seeing Song Wei's wide-eyed smile, and then continued respectfully, "Prince... I'm too young to be teased like this, I'm afraid I'll be frightened."

Song Wei withdrew her hand resentfully, and said: "Why are you so scared, you can't wake up after being so teased, you really slept like hell."

Listening to his unrestrained speech, Xiang Jin almost couldn't hold back her tears when she thought of her miserable young lady and the miserable child in front of her.After thinking about it, the emperor didn't seem displeased when he directly called himself the prince. Perhaps, the days to come might not be as sad as expected.

Concentrating his mind, he said: "Li Yuyi said that the little prince is not born with a congenital deficiency, and he is not as lively as ordinary babies. If he is older, he will naturally be able to take care of him."

Song Wei nodded.Before he came to see the child, he met Li Yi first, and he already knew everything he needed to know.In fact, when the child was born one and a half months ago, the secret report was delivered to the palace by Mu Ping himself.The news was blocked until this time before the premature birth was announced.As a new father who misses his wife and children, he can't wait to visit him in person.According to Li Yi's report, the child was injured in the mother's womb, and even if it was remedied later, the development was relatively slow.Even though she was born at full term, she is still thinner than normal babies.It happened to be a fake and it turned out to be real, so there is no need to worry about the full moon wine being exposed in public.

Seeing that the child was still awake, Song Wei prepared to leave.Suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand to pinch the baby's ear, rubbed it inside and out, and it really was for the "Ruyi Golden Hook".Well, anyway, it is indeed the son of the Song family, so I am not sorry for my father.Unexpectedly, it was just this one that woke the child up, before he opened his eyes, his mouth was about to cry.Song Wei hurriedly withdrew her hand, but seeing the little guy whimpering, trying to open his eyes and blinking a few times, he suddenly cried out "Wow!"With a slender neck and a round head, her voice was surprisingly loud, which startled Song Wei.Like a conditioned reflex, he sent his fingers over, trying to shut the child's mouth, while he hurriedly coaxed: "Hey, don't cry, don't cry, little ancestor..."

The little guy grabbed his fingertips in one bite and stopped crying.After sucking and sucking, he found that the sucking was not enough, so he was very angry, and tried hard, biting the aura of a little wolf dog with his bare gums.

"Ouch!" Song Wei pulled out her finger and screamed.Xiang Jin, who was full of sentimentality, couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, be careful! The little prince must be hungry, and I will take this servant to the empress. Your Majesty..." Xiang Jin looked at Song Wei, hesitating to speak.

Song Wei waved his hand: "Go, I won't go there."

After the baby was born, he did not live with his mother, but only breastfed him every day.Because the matter was secretive and afraid that the nanny would be unreliable, Duguying obeyed Li Yi's arrangement, actively cooperated, and fed the child by herself.However, apart from the hug during breastfeeding, Xiangjin was taking care of her the rest of the time, and the mother never took a second look.Before giving birth, she had asked Li Yi privately for sterilization drugs.Li Yi didn't dare to make the decision, so he secretly reported to Song Wei, expressly stating that with the Queen's current physique, it would be difficult to conceive after giving birth, and the sterilization medicine would do great harm to the body, and it might affect her lifespan.

Maybe Duguying did it for herself, maybe she was really disheartened about the relationship between men and women, Song Wei didn't think it mattered.Xiangjin who rushed to salute and resigned said lightly: "Tell your lady, do what you have to do, don't think about it all day long. If your body is broken, how can you help me work? If she doesn't work, I have to work hard." Find another useful person."

Xiangjin obediently agreed.Song Wei waited for her to go out before turning to see Master Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing walked around the temple with him.It was the beginning of May, just after the Yulan Festival, and the climate in the mountains was neither too hot nor too cold, the flowers and trees were flourishing and gorgeous, and the scenery was excellent.

The two of them were strolling in front, and Qin Xian led a few cronies around him from afar.

Except for the trip to the old emperor's burial, Song Wei was detained in the city for almost a year.Finally got a chance to go out, gossiping with Xuan Qing, not forgetting to flirt with flowers and grass to attract bees and butterflies, as if he was on a spring outing.

Seeing his appearance, Xuan Qing secretly sighed.Walking to an open and uninhabited place, Song Wei's good mood was interrupted, and said: "Your Majesty, Xuan Qing has a few words of advice, if you want to take the liberty, please listen to your Majesty."

Song Wei held a wild flower in her hand and turned her head: "Oh? It's okay for the Master to speak bluntly."

"Your Majesty got married and the Queen gave birth to a son. This is the end of the matter. Although Xuan Qing disagrees, she can only do her best to share the worries for her majesty. Now that the prince has been born smoothly, your majesty must have some calculations in his mind. Some things are better to prevent them before they happen than to fix them. Forgive Xuan Qing's blunt words, People's hearts are unpredictable, Your Majesty...you must be vigilant."

"Thank you, Venerable Master, for reminding me." Song Wei conveniently pinned the wild flowers to her ears, and smiled, "Isn't Taoism the most concerned with cause and effect? ​​This matter is a good cause, why is the Venerable Master worried that it will inevitably lead to evil consequences in the future?"

Xuan Qing was speechless.

Song Wei put her hands behind her back and looked up at the sky: "The future will be long, and everything is possible. The present is short, but I hope to be worthy of my heart."

Consciously fooling around with the ministers of the state all day long, his literary talent has greatly improved, he stopped and pondered for a while, and then said: "The Master is right, people's hearts are unpredictable, so we must be vigilant. But I don't think it is necessary to be vigilant against a baby who is just a baby. Baby. As long as he calls me daddy, I will take him as my son and take good care of him. I am not raised by my own parents, so I am not attached to this matter. In any case, it will not ruin the foundation of my ancestors. "

Speaking of this, I turned around and smiled: "The master also said that the matter has come to an end, so I can only do my best to share my worries. In the future, I am afraid that there will always be something to rely on, and I still need to ask the master..." Blinking eyes, "Please help me I share my worries."

Xuan Qing was dazzled by the handsome face with flowers on the sideburns, and was unable to refute for a while.I only feel that Song Wei is calm and open-minded, with a well-thought-out plan, and it is so contagious that it makes people trust and look forward to it for no reason.I have to admit that the former sixth prince really looked like an emperor.

On the ninth day of June, the emperor's eldest son celebrates the full moon.Because the first emperor's filial piety period has not passed, so there is no need to make arrangements, but according to the rules of etiquette, there are quite a few that should be there.

According to the seniority, the newborn prince belongs to water, and the Hun Tianjian presented a bunch of characters with water next to it for the emperor to choose.Before Song Wei watched it, the word Song Jiang popped up in his mind, feeling embarrassed.The people around thought that the emperor was so happy to be a father that he lost control, and laughed foolishly along with him.

The princes of the state agreed that the word "governance" was the most appropriate.No matter how educated Song Wei is, she also understands what this word means.In the end, through Xuan Qing's mouth, he said that the prince's body was weak, and the name was too heavy for fear of hurting Fuze, so he denied it.Politely ask the baby's mother, Duguying prefers the word "di".Song Wei thought about it, but didn't agree.Finally, he hesitated between "Ji" and "Qian", and chose the latter.

Divers, wading in water, hiding deep, advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, and coincident with one's life experience.Besides, Song Qian, giving money is so flattering.Song Wei repeated it twice, very satisfied.Master Xuanqing made a special divination for this, and it was very auspicious.So everything is approved.Because the eldest son of the emperor was born in the zodiac of wood and lack of soil, the emperor gave him a nickname "Muddan".Others dare not call it, but the emperor himself and the child's uncle are the happiest.

As early as May when the prince was just born, congratulatory gifts from all over the world had already been on the road, trying to send them to the capital before the full moon.The grandpa of the child stationed in the southeast, Xianhou Dugu, of course, has another important gift.

Cai You, one of Dugu's powerful confidantes, made a special trip back to give gifts.Song Wei heard that Marquis Xian was busy supervising the building of warships and exploring offshore routes, and nodded to express his understanding.

Since the day Dugu Mian arrived in the southeast, there has been a special memorial to be presented to the emperor every month.Not only that, but after ten days and a half months, there was a letter from Feige.It's just that whether it's a memorial or a letter, coming and going are all business affairs, plus formal greetings.There is hospitality and concern, but no personal ambiguity, even if you ask the secretary to read it aloud, there is nothing wrong with it.

Song Wei was very disappointed at first, so disappointed that she didn't even bother to write a personal reply, after discussing with the princes, she drew up an opinion, asked the secretary to write it for her, and stamped it herself.After running several times to Chongming Mountain, I couldn't restrain myself from recalling over and over again what the two of them had said at the top of the mountain on the night of farewell, and suddenly realized that what should be said had already been said.From now on, it's all in silence.

Whenever the sun rises in the early morning, I stand alone on the top of the mountain and look at it. I see the future is misty and the reality is heavy. Only the promise in my heart will compete with the sun and the moon for glory, and the country will grow together, dispelling the loneliness of the eternal night and the haze of the road ahead.At this time, he would deeply understand the heavy affection behind every memorial and letter of Dugu.Nothing needs to be said.Nothing... don't be afraid.

In April, under the insistence of the emperor and the acquiescence of the Marquis Ying, the Sangong agreed to Marquis Xian's plan to expand the southeast coastal defense and open up ocean routes.As for the part of the funds that are insufficient in the treasury, some future HNA trade preferential policies have been exchanged for the investment of several large commercial families.

Stones from other hills, can learn.The civilian shipbuilding and navigation industry in the Xianxi Dynasty was already very developed, but the experience in military use was insufficient.An imperial decree from the emperor added [-] new student quotas, plus many in-kind rewards, and exchanged them from King Cochin for the most skilled senior craftsmen.This group of craftsmen brought their country's latest shipbuilding and navigation technology, traveled by water from the coast of Jiaozhou, went straight to Guangling, the largest and most prosperous seaport in the southeast of Daxia, and directly belonged to the Marquis Xian.

Therefore, Song Wei actually knew what Dugu Mian was busy with and how busy she was.

Cai You finished reporting everything in detail, and he talked for almost two hours.Finally, he took out a small silk bag from his bosom. With sharp eyes, Song Wei recognized that it was the same as the bag containing the Wanbao conch last time. He was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Could it be the conch that your Lord Hou picked up?"

Cai You also smiled: "It's not a conch, it's a pearl shell."

Song Wei took it and pinched it, it looked like a bag of small flakes.Open it and put it in the palm of your hand, there are a bunch of round and shiny buttons-buttons.Because it is polished from pearl shell, the color halo is flowing, soft and magnificent.

But I heard Cai You said: "It's boring at sea, Lord Hou often uses this to pass the time, and it is said that he can also practice the strength and accuracy of his hands by the way."

Song Wei poured the shell buttons on the desk, making a crisp sound.Cai You said: "There are ninety-nine and eighty-one pieces in total. I have carefully collected them all the way, not daring to lose one."

Song Weiqiang resisted the desire to count: "Well, thank you for your hard work. Summer is here, and there are often storms at sea. Although state affairs are important, the safety of soldiers must be the first priority. Tell me this to your Lord Marquis."

Cai You automatically replaced the subject of "safety" with Xianhou, solemnly agreed, and kowtowed to retreat.

Within two days, the emperor took the opportunity of making clothes for the prince and asked to temporarily add some sets of underwear for himself, without sewing belts or buttons.The people below couldn't figure it out, but although the imperial decree was strange, it was really a trivial matter, and they should be followed honestly.After the clothes were finished, Song Wei asked the trustworthy court lady beside her to do it, supervised by herself, and nailed pearl shells on each piece.
