Chapter 378: Disciplined
Dugu Weiwei raised a crying face, and saw Xiao Duo wearing a prince's honor guard in a hazy eye, standing solemnly in a big dress, looking over with his eyes, but he couldn't hold back a smile on his face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiao Duo's formal style should have been ordered by the emperor to welcome Xiao Ke.
Xiao Jun, Shen Ling and other friends were all there, looking at her with a smile, and Shen Ling even scraped his fingers twice on his face to make embarrassing movements.
Dugu Weiwei continued to stomp his feet: "What are you laughing at?
The friends laughed even more cheerfully, and Xiao Jun replied like her: "I'll laugh, I'll laugh!"
After crying like this, the depression accumulated in Dugu Weiwei's chest dissipated a little.
Dugu Weiqing handed over a handkerchief, pretending to be disgusted: "Wipe it quickly, your face is like a cat." ”
Dugu Shaotang took the handkerchief, wiped his daughter's face, and said, "Wei Wei has grown taller and thinner. Oh, by the way, why are you alone? What about the prince, what about your third brother and fifth brother?"
"I'm not in a hurry to see Daddy! they're all behind, and the big black horse is running fast, so I'll go first. ”
Of course, she won't tell her father and brother about the mess, she hasn't sorted out her mind yet, but she is blindly uncomfortable in her heart, and she just wants to leave Xiao Ke far away under impulse, as for how to face him next, she really hasn't thought about it in her heart.
After talking like this for a while, Xiao Ke had already caught up, followed by Amin, Ajie and Li Jing and other men guarding Xiao Ke.
Xiao Duo stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Lonely will follow the will of my father and welcome the emperor's uncle back to Beijing." ”
With Xiao Tong's attention to the jade seal of the country, he couldn't wait to go out of the city to greet him in person, and considering various reasons, he finally sent the prince to greet him.
Xiao Ke nodded, said wait a minute, and then bowed his head to Dugu Shaotang's father and son, who gave him a salute, and said to Dugu Weiwei, who hung his head and didn't look at him: "Weiwei ......"
Dugu Weiwei raised his face, smiled as if nothing had happened before, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, go back to the palace to resume your life, presumably the emperor is in a hurry." ”
She smiled in front of people, not letting others see their gaps, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and her eyes were no longer close and attached to the past, full of alienation and coldness, as if she had erected a barrier in her heart to isolate him.
Xiao Ke's heart was uncomfortable for a while, and somehow it became like this in a blink of an eye, and the girl's careful thinking His Royal Highness King Ning really didn't understand.
Seeing Dugu Weiwei turn his head and talk to Xiao Jun and the others with a smile as if nothing happened, Xiao Ke said helplessly: "I'll see you again tomorrow." ”
With so many people, now is not the time to settle things.
Early the next morning, when Xiao Ke went to Dingbei Bofu to find someone, Dugu Weiwei had already gone to Shen Mansion to visit his grandfather and grandmother.
He just returned to Beijing and had accumulated a lot of things, so he had to go to his own affairs first.
On the third day, I heard that she had entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and by the time he hurried there, the person had already left. Just wanted to chase him, the eunuch of the Taiji Hall came over to spread the word that the emperor wanted to see him.
He followed the eunuch to the Taiji Palace, and Dugu Shaotang was kneeling on the ground to be trained.
Seeing him come in, Xiao Tong pointed to Dugu Shaotang on the ground and said to him: "Xiao Liu came just in time, you, Lord Taishan, are in your forties, and you are in the prime of life, but you are going to pick a son for me to tell you to grow old!
The day before yesterday, when he returned to Beijing and presented the jade seal of the country, Xiao Tong was overjoyed, remembering that this matter was all due to Dugu Weiwei's merits, but she was a little girl, and she was about to be Princess Ning, and it was not appropriate to add the county lord and the county lord, so she put the credit on her father's head.
At today's court meeting, Xiao Tong announced that the jade seal of the country had been found, and he was full of ambition to say that the orthodoxy of the Great Wei Dynasty was ordered by the heavens, and finally said that he could find the jade seal of the country, and Dugu Shaotang contributed a lot, so his earl was promoted to a marquis, and the north was changed to the marquis of Dingbei.
Dugu Shaotang thanked him on the spot, and then said that he had frequent injuries and illnesses, and he was getting older, so he wanted to quit the matter of Xiao Cavalry and go home to retire.
Xiao Tong didn't say a word at that time, and when he got off the court, he took him to the Taiji Hall and reprimanded him.
Xiao Tong gave Xiao Ke a thorough word to Xiao Ke in advance about the matter of sealing Dugu Shaotang, so Xiao Ke knew what Dugu Shaotang was thinking as soon as he heard Xiao Tong's words.
Dugu Shaotang is Xiao Ke's father-in-law, he is in charge of the city's defense, and his two sons control the dragon and tiger guard, and Xiao Ke is the youngest son of the first emperor.
So in order to avoid suspicion, Dugu Shaotang had this plan at the beginning of Dugu Weiwei and Xiao Ke's family affairs, and it was not until now that Dingbei Bo was changed to Dingbei Hou, and Dugu's family was prosperous, like cooking oil in a fire, he made up his mind to put it into action.
Xiao Tongyi's sentence "When I have a small belly and chicken intestines can't tolerate people" shows that he is completely clear about Dugu Shaotang's thoughts, and he is angry because of Dugu Shaotang's villainous heart.
Dugu Shaotang immediately fell to the ground and pleaded guilty: "The minister has no such idea, the emperor is broad-minded, tolerant and generous, and the minister is very admired......"
This is a fact, Dugu Shaotang said very sincerely, Xiao Tong listened, and his face softened a little.
"Ranchen is indeed a frequent injury in recent years, and he is unable to deal with military affairs......"
Xiao Tong's face finally eased a little, but after hearing this, he became angry again, picked up a cup from the table and smashed it, scolding: "! Speaking of which, I still think that my measure is narrow, when I can't hear it? Roll on, Xiaoliu, send your father-in-law back to the house for reflection, I am upset!"
The cup that was smashed over was caught by Xiao Ke with his foot stretched out, and then he reached out and took it and put it on the side of the table.
If this is smashed, Dugu Shaotang will not dare to hide, his head will definitely bloom, and Dugu Wei will be sad when he goes back, so he will block him.
Xiao Tong glared at him.
Dugu Shaotang didn't dare to explain anymore, bowed to the ground, and said, "The minister retires!"
Then he followed Xiao Ke out of the gate of the Taiji Palace.
The two of them didn't say anything one after the other, and went all the way back to Dingbei Bofu. Oh, in the future, it will be changed to Dingbei Hou Mansion.
After the court meeting, Dugu Shaotang was taken to the Taiji Hall by the emperor, but what happened at the court meeting was quickly spread by the officials of the next court.
Therefore, when Dugu Shaotang returned to the mansion, the people in the mansion had already heard about this time.
So the scene that should have been a lively celebration was a little weird because of Dugu Shaotang's resignation.
Dugu Shaotang and Xiao Ke entered the study together, and Dugu Weiwei rushed over on the back foot.
As soon as she entered, tears began to fall.
"Daddy, is it because of me, it's because of my marriage to His Royal Highness......"
Although she doesn't understand politics very well, she can figure it out quickly with a little brain.
"If that's the case, then I won't get married, and I won't be Princess Ning anymore, so my father won't have to resign. ”
Her father is in the prime of life, and he is a member of the second rank of the imperial court, and it is the time when he is full of ambition and meritorious service. In order to avoid suspicion, it is also appropriate to let the three brothers of the Dugu family quit their duties to make way for him, how can he retire because of her marriage?
