Tang Xuan

Coming out of the Daming Palace, Lang Shixin looked at his son and teased him, "Captain of Shangqi? Are you a fifth grade?"

Lang Huai's mind was still on Chunjun, and he replied casually: "How can you compare with Daddy's first-class Duke? Don't make fun of me! Let's go back quickly, because the banquet just now is not full."

Behind it is the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, a symbol of the supremacy of imperial power, but Lang Shixin felt a warm current pass by.I got into the carriage sent by my family, and I really ordered to go back quickly.

The gate of Duke Mu's Mansion is on the south side, and it has been completely decorated.Wei Shi was dressed in a phoenix purple gauze gown, the silk flowing between his arms, his temples were raised high, and his steps were shaky jade. He stood behind the door first, waiting quietly.

As the head of the family in the Mugong Mansion, her demeanor is truly well-deserved.

More than ten years have passed, the beautiful young lady of the Pei family in the past, now looks dim, but she has to wear heavy makeup, as if to stop the passage of time.Mrs. Pei quietly stretched out her hand to pull her son Lang Wei, and said in a low voice: "Stand up straight, the master doesn't like tired and lazy people the most!"

Father was not in the mansion for five years, and Mrs. Pei was always arrogant and indulgent. If it wasn't for Mrs. Wei's supervision, I am afraid that Mrs. Lang would be even more dandy.Today is fine, Mrs. Pei watched her son wash and wash up early in the morning, and prepared a sand blue round neck thin shirt for him, not allowing him to mess around like in the past.Lang Yu looked displeased, but there was nothing he could do about it.Fortunately, the youngest son, Lang Heng, is quite polite, standing obediently and not speaking much.

Not long after, Langshi's new carriage arrived.

Lang Huai got out of the car first, ignored the servants squatting, jumped off the carriage, turned around, and stretched out his hand to help Lang Shixin get off.

The father and son turned around at the same time, one in purple and one in red, facing their family members, both showed sincere smiles.

All the servants of Duke Mu's mansion saluted and said in unison: "Welcome master and son back to the mansion!"

As the hatchback approached, Wei Shi took Pei Shi and Lang Yu with their luggage.Lang Huai hurriedly bent down, and said: "Huai has met my aunt, second brother, and third brother." He raised his head, without concealing his joy, and said to Webster, "I have met my mother."

Wei Shi ignored him, turned sideways and said: "The news from the palace has just arrived, and my mother is very relieved, and she said that she did not insult the wise ancestors. Master, should I go to see my mother first?"

"It's natural." Lang Shixin ignored Pei Shi, walked side by side with Wei Shixin, and said, "I haven't returned home for five years, thanks to having you at home."

"Master, what are you talking about? This is what a concubine should do." Wei Shi's face was indifferent, but he couldn't help but look at the scar on Lang Huai's left eyebrow, which inevitably showed a worried look.

"Mother, don't worry, it's a skin injury. But it's a scar, it doesn't matter." Lang Huai hadn't seen him for many years, but Lang Huai still saw through Webster's worry and interjected.

"It's not big or small." Wei Shi spat, although he felt distressed, he was still relieved.Not long after, I walked to the small courtyard where the old lady lived.

The father and son knelt down and saluted together. The old lady had bad legs and was reluctant to move around, so she let Lang Huai come over first.

"Well, I've grown so much taller, but I'm too thin." Grandma felt distressed when she saw her grandson, not to mention that she hadn't seen her grandson for many years?Lang Huai was not awkward either, so he knelt aside, raised his head and said, "My grandson eats a lot, grandma, don't worry, he will get fat in just a few months, so don't be disgusted by that time."

"This kid." Webster shook his head and said, "We'll pass on the dinner here today. Our family is so lively. What do you think, mother?"

"Well, make more things that Huai'er likes, and you can send someone to look at them." The old lady pulled Lang Huai up, made gestures, and said, "This child looks like Shi Xin when he was a child."

The family sat down to eat, Lang Huai was really hungry, he ate four bowls of soup cakes before recovering, and slowly ate the dishes.Lang Shixin naturally put on the appearance of a patriarch, very dignified.

No matter how unconvinced Lang Wei was, he had to pretend to sit still.It's just that he was always tired and lazy, and after a while his back became sore and his back ached, and his face gradually showed an expression of impatience.Lang Shixin saw it, and when dinner was halfway through, he excused and scolded: "Look at your appearance, you are not as good as Heng'er! What are you still doing here? Go back and study!"

As if he had received an amnesty, Lang Cong left in a hurry after pleading guilty.Wen Shu?Don't be ridiculous, he immediately sneaked out of the mansion, and heard that the oiran of Anxiang Building is preparing for the listing in two months' time.Even if you can't see anyone, it's good to sit and listen to the music anyway.Regardless of the curfew, he hurried to Pingkangfang.

At the end of the meal, the old lady looked tired, and Lang started to leave, and shyly took out a packet of spices from his pocket, saying: "Grandmother, my grandson didn't have much money at that time. I brought you some. Try it."

The old lady became more and more happy, and said: "Okay, I will try it tonight."

After a few people came out of the small courtyard, Wei Shi said: "Master, I have been separated from my son for a long time, can I talk alone?"

Lang Shixin couldn't help being taken aback, looked at the woman in front of him, but couldn't help but bow his head in her gaze.It’s better to be guilty, he laughed at himself, coughed to cover up the past, and said: "Why not? Then I will go to Xikuayuan. Huai'er, these days are good for rest, Yuci Chunjun is close to the body, so it is easy to use."

"Yes, take my son off to father?" Lang Huai responded, and seeing Lang Shixin wave his hand, he took Pei's Lang Heng away on his own.

The mother and son looked at each other, and Wei Shi finally showed a real smile, and said in a low voice, "Go, mother even made you dumplings!"

Back in the main room, Lang Huai first saw Mr. Zhu who had changed back into women's clothes, and only heard her say: "Master, look at me, how much powder I put on, it's still much darker than Amei and Alan!"

Lang Huai avoids her, and also smiles: "Although you had to rush to follow, you can't blame others."

Mei Jun followed Wei Shi, but Lan Jun was also his personal maid. At this time, she smiled and said: "I have said it, I will recover if I have a good life." After the three joked, they said: "Ma'am, everything you ordered Ready."

Lang Huai couldn't help standing up straight when he saw his mother's serious expression.

The west pavilion has been tidied up, Wei Shi took Lang Huai in, and ordered Lan Jun to guard outside, and no one was allowed to come in.

Tao Jun came in with a food box, but his expression was unusually flustered.

Lang Huai had already guessed something in his heart, but he really didn't know how to ask.The mother and son sat at the marble-topped sandalwood round table. Tao Jun carefully took out the dumplings from the food box and served a bowl of soup.

At this time, Webster showed the feelings a mother should have for a child who has returned from a long journey. He stretched out his hand to caress Lang Huai's cheek, and then passed between his eyebrows, as if he was afraid of pain, so gentle.

However, what she said was surprising!

"Huai'er, what mother regrets the most now is that she shouldn't fight for a moment, and pretend that you are a good girl as a male, so as to stabilize her position. But if you make a wrong step, you can't make another mistake." Wei Wei After all, it is Webster, looked at Lang Huai and said: "This is the prescription I have been looking for for many years. After you drink it, the woman's monthly worries will disappear. However, if this is the case, in the future, even if I hide my name, I will restore my daughter. body, you can't bear children, and you lose the qualifications to be a mother."

It turns out that the well-known teenager Qidu Wei Langhuai is actually a girl?

Wei Shi was in a difficult situation for a while, hugged Lang Huai, and cried: "Huaier, mother knows that you have grown up now, and you have your own opinions in everything. But mother still persuades you, why do you have to suffer so much? Mother can arrange for you Die, you go to the rivers and lakes to have fun, find a caring person, and don't care about these dirty things!" Now she really regrets the foolish things she did at the beginning, but she was wrong all the time, and she wanted to come back. If it is exposed, I am afraid that the entire Mugong Mansion, including the Wei family in Longxi, will not be at peace.

"Mother, I don't think there's anything wrong with the child." Lang Huai had no blood on his lips, but his eyes were firm. He sat upright and said calmly, "What's more, even if I leave, if there are some clues to reveal my identity, I'm afraid that the whole Lang family will die. There is no one left alive. Although my younger brothers are not close to me, but their blood is difficult to break, how can I kill them because of me?"

Wei Shi didn't hesitate anymore, and handed over the already warm medicine bowl, tears streaming down his face, "Huai'er, mother's obsession that day caused you to suffer for the rest of your life. If you keep this medicine, I'm afraid you will have it again in the future." Opportunities can only be given up!"

Lang Huai didn't know how to answer for a while.Yes, she is a woman.Because of Lang Shixin's favoritism, Wei Shi had no choice but to set up this trap, but he never thought that what was really trapped was his own flesh and blood!

And all of this stems from the absurdity of Duke Mu's mansion back then.

Lang Shixin followed Emperor Ming when he was ten years old. Although he was ten years younger than him, he was deeply trusted by Emperor Ming.Old Duke Lang chose Wei Muyan, the most beloved lady of Longxi Webster's, as his wife, and Ruizong also issued an imperial decree to marry him.But he didn't expect that Lang Shixin's love was Pei Shuang of the Pei family, and he also had the guts to make an excuse to accompany Ming Huang not to return to Beijing to get married.Later, when Emperor Ming ascended the throne, he wanted to understand this koan and reconnect with his attendant.But Webster's heart was arrogant, and he only said that the late emperor did not dare to disobey.After such a delay, it will be the tenth year of Kaiyang, and Wei Muyan is already in his twenties.Old Duke Lang died of illness, and Lang Shixin kept his filial piety for three years, and it could not be delayed any longer. The old lady made the decision and welcomed the two daughters together.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Pei were pregnant one after another. Out of selfishness, Lang Shixin told Emperor Ming that whoever gave birth to a son first would be made the heir.This sentence caused an uproar in Mugong's mansion, and Wei Qianyi was even more dissatisfied with Lang Shixin, so he gave him a face at the court.

And how could Wei Shi of the Mugong Mansion endure such a shameful humiliation?What's more, if a boy is not born, I'm afraid that in the future the status of the justice's wife in the country will have to be relinquished.Now that the old lady is still alive, Lang Shixin doesn't dare to do anything, but everything in the future is unknown.She planned ahead of time, and left Chang'an by means of abortion before she gave birth, and lived in Wei's other courtyard next to Xiangji Temple, only hoping to give birth to a boy in the future, all these plans were just faux pas.

Unexpectedly, God gave birth to a daughter instead of what people wanted.

On the pretext that a fairy dreamed of him, Wei took Lang Huai to worship the Buddha and eat fast in another courtyard, concealing the real identity of the baby, fearing that she would be discovered when she was young.This stay is five years.

Five years later, Lang Huai was established as the eldest son, and the stubborn Webster took her back to Chang'an.In this way, Lang Huai pretended to be a man from his daughter and raised him all the time.She is active by nature, so Webster hired a famous teacher to teach her in civil and martial arts.Lang Huai is indeed a hundred times more talented than her younger brother Lang Yi who is three days younger.She is also willing to work hard, so she has made rapid progress in all aspects of her studies.Later, he studied under Wei Qianyi and got the true biography.And by chance, I got Gongsun to learn swords.

Later, Lang Shixin led the army to go out, and Lang Huai volunteered to join the army. With his own efforts, he was exchanged for the captain of Shangqi, and reached the sky in one step.

Now among the sons of meritorious service in Chang'an City, only Lang Huai has the eyes of the Ming Emperor, and he is very favored.That being the case, the monthly matter must not be kept.

She buried her head in her mother's arms and said, "Mother, my son has been in Saibei for five years. At the beginning, I wanted to earn some military service so as to keep your status. But after five years, my son's original intention has changed."

"I don't want to be a petty and weak idiot. I want to make contributions and defend my family. If this is the price," Lang Huai broke free from his mother's arms, and the corner of his left lip curled up, looking full of evil spirits. Listen to her say: "Then, pregnant with children is as sweet as it is."

In the past, Emperor Gaozong's Empress Wu was involved in politics. Later, Emperor Gaozong died, and Emperor Ming's father Ruizong was abolished. He became emperor himself and changed the country's name to Dayin.In the last years of the empress Shenlong, she returned to Ruizong and restored her status as empress Gaozong.In the next three years, Empress Wu died of illness in the Hanliang Hall of Daming Palace and was buried with Emperor Gaozong.

Although the royal family was restored to Qingming, women in the Tang Dynasty had an open-minded atmosphere, and most of them practiced the four books and six arts since childhood.On the streets of Chang'an, there are often young girls dressed in men's clothes, wearing headdresses, and riding flowered horses, which are considered fashionable.

What's more, the arrogant Lang Huai, if she is asked to restore her daughter status and give up everything she has now, no matter what, she is unwilling.

Wei Shi already knew that Lang Huai would make such a choice, wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "Huai'er, if you want to show off your face, mother will definitely support you with all your strength."

Only then did Lang Huai sit at the table with peace of mind, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the warm dumplings.I remember that when she was a child, she also liked meat dumplings the most. No matter how dignified he was, Webster would wrap some for her every now and then.After five years of not eating, Lang Huai almost poured water into her mouth, as if she hadn't eaten at all just now.

"Slow down, no one will fight with you." Wei Shi's heart ached, he held back, poured warm water for her, and said softly, "Be careful of choking."

Soon, a plate of dumplings will be eaten.Lang Huai didn't wipe his mouth, picked up the bowl of soup, looked at his mother, exhausted all the strength in his life, and swallowed.

It took Webster seven or eight years to prepare this bowl of medicine for tigers and wolves.It will destroy a woman's most important uterus, but it will also remove the most fatal flaw in Lang Huai's body.She was also afraid that the efficacy of the medicine would not be known, and she would kill Lang Huai herself, so she sent Mei Jun, who was good at medicine, to search for prescriptions from various places, and formulated this sure-fire medicine.The bitter soup entered her stomach, Lang Huai thought she could bear it, but she never thought that the knife-like pain almost made her lose her mind in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, he was well-prepared, Tao Jun knocked out Lang Huai who was still trying to hold back with force, and helped him onto the bed with a half hug.After he took his pulse, he said in a low voice: "Ma'am, the medicine is working. I'm afraid I'm going to see red soon, the little one is waiting outside, you can call me anytime."

Wei Shi just hummed, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat off Lang Huai's forehead.Not long after, Mr. Zhu said: "Ma'am, I'm so popular."

Lang Huai's reputation as a riding captain spread throughout Chang'an City. The news of her illness naturally attracted much attention.

This time it will be raised for more than a month.Ming Huangzhun's rest and bathing period ended, and Webster also asked Lang Shixin to ask Ming Huang to give him permission to rest for another month.Lang Shixin also went to see Lang Huai several times, and he knew that the loss must be huge, and he had to take care of his life, otherwise it would be easy to fall to the root of the disease.

He originally wanted to invite the Imperial Physician Enzhun of the Ming Dynasty to show him, but Wei Shi said: "The frontier is cold, but if you have a strong baby, you won't say anything. Now I just ask you to ask for some leave so that she can recuperate. .Could it be that after joining the army, she has to be beaten like those reckless men? What is her identity, the master doesn't know?"

This insinuation made Lang Shixin feel guilty, and since then he never asked about Lang Huai's recuperation, but ordered Lang Qiao to send countless supplements.He also went to ask Emperor Ming for Lang Huai, and personally went to the Imperial Forest Army Wei Qianyi to ask for leave, all of which were ignored.
