First Concubine

Chapter 103: Desire in the Palace (4)

Bizhu cried out in pain, and after taking a closer look, she realized that the person sitting in the tub was not the prince, but the prince's concubine! She instantly felt that the sky was falling...

Zhuge Yu read for a while, guessing that Shui Linglong must have woken up, so he got up and went back to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the door, he found Shui Linglong sitting on a chair with an indifferent expression, holding a storybook, but not reading it, as if she was very unhappy! Liu Lu and Zhi Fan stood on both sides holding their breath, not even daring to breathe.

 Zhuge Yu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Shui Linglong lowered her head and flipped through the storybook, and said calmly: "It's nothing, the water is too hot, I just feel uncomfortable after washing."

Zhuge Yu looked at Liu Lu and Zhi Fan, and said in a deep voice: "Who is serving the hot water today?"

Zhi Fan hesitated and said: "Yes...it's Bi Zhu! Liu Lu and Zhong's mother asked for a half-day leave, and Bi Zhu temporarily took over Liu Lu's position."

 No wonder she was upset. Bizhu was a maid sent by his mother and concubine. She had just walked in and it was hard to attack Bizhu, lest people think that she was deliberately going against his mother and concubine. Zhuge Yu waved his hand and said seriously: "That maid is very careless. I don't like her very much. Drag her out and sell her."

Zhifan's scalp went numb and his legs trembled as he walked out of the bedroom. Liu Lu followed closely behind him. After making sure that no one was around, he took Zhifan's hand and whispered: "You see clearly that you are fighting for the prince's possessions with the crown prince's concubine." What happened? The water is too hot to wash. What bad reason did the prince give? Bizhu was the princess's maid, and the prince gave it away without asking! Why don't you wake up in vain? My plan!"

After Zhi Fan and others went out, Zhuge Yu went to sit down next to Shui Linglong, put his arms around her, and said with a faint smile: "Not satisfied?"

Shui Linglong's pupils moved left and right, and the corners of her lips gradually raised, but she still tried her best to suppress it: "Just so-so."

Zhuge Yu smiled, patted her shoulder with one hand, and touched her soft belly with the other: "Are you hungry?"

Shui Linglong took his claws away and said honestly: "I'm hungry."

 Zhuge Yu's eyes narrowed and he said, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Shui Linglong thought for a while and said, "You can eat whatever you want, I can do it." In addition to the princess who loves to eat vegetarian food, the prince opened a small kitchen, and Zhuge Xi got pregnant and opened a small kitchen. Others include the prince. They all ate public meals. It was not good for her to be special when she came. Moreover, her and Zhuge Yu's tastes were very different. As soon as she ordered the food alone, she knew that it was not what Zhuge Yu wanted.

"Your Majesty, Huarong, please see me." Ye Mao reported outside the door.

When Hua Rong came in, she had a food box in her hand. She glanced at the newlyweds in the room, lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "I have sent cold medicine to the prince on the order of the young lady. The young lady said, since you are infected with the disease, It’s time to rest after the cold. Don’t worry about paying your respects to the old lady. The young lady has invited the second lady and the fourth lady to play leaf cards with the old lady tonight. The old lady is very busy and I’m afraid she won’t have time to entertain you!”

The prince was injured, so the old lady was worried and followed him. She will stay in the capital until the prince recovers. Today, I was supposed to pay my respects to the queen first, and then to the old lady. Who knew that Shui Linglong overslept, and it was delayed until now. Shui Linglong originally planned to have dinner before going to the old lady's yard, but now Zhuge Yu...is sick?

Shui Linglong subconsciously raised her hand and touched Zhuge Yu's forehead, just like touching a child: "It's not hot, what's wrong with it?"

Zhuge Yu cleared his throat, a hint of shyness flashed across his obsidian eyes.

Hua Rong hid her face and smiled.

Shui Linglong glanced at Hua Rong, withdrew her hand, and said a little shyly: "Since you are sick... just drink medicine."

Hua Rong put the food box on the table, turned and left. What cold medicine? It is a medicine for men to replenish their bodies. The young lady is afraid that the prince will drain his body due to excessive indulgence.

"Did you hear me?" Seeing Zhifan's lack of response, Liu Lu couldn't help but raise the volume.

Zhifan's mood was very complicated. She couldn't tell when she started to like the prince. Maybe it was the prince who saved her from the blood bat's mouth, or maybe it was just his look that stunned Fanghua. In short, she couldn't control her heart. When she closed her eyes, all she could think of was the prince's appearance.

 When she heard that the eldest lady was going to marry the prince, her heart felt heavy...

Now, she finally entered the palace with the eldest lady, and became one of the few maids who could freely enter and leave the bedroom. Compared with other maids, she actually has a great advantage...

Seeing that she remained silent, Liu Lu was so angry that she punched her shoulder: "Aren't you always very talkative? Why have you become a gourd today? Do you want to be able to go in and out of the bedroom freely? There are many opportunities to meet the prince, will you be able to seduce him one day? "

Zhi Fan remained silent. He was hurt by Liu Lu’s beating and only glared at Liu Lu.

When Liu Lu saw her like this, he knew that he had guessed it right. Liu Lu gritted his teeth and said harshly: "I'm not attacking you. Zhifan, just take a pee and look in the mirror. How does your appearance compare to Bizhu's?" Not to mention Bizhu, even Ye Mao is prettier than you! You look like an ugly guy and think you are a hottie. If I were the prince, sleeping with you would be disgusting!"

Zhifan's self-esteem was greatly impacted, and he became angry and said: "You...you...you're too much! Don't you just have a face that is shy of the moon? Who doesn't know about your bad things? First, you were The young master is sleeping, and then you are dragged out to pick up customers! What else do you have besides this face? You are as dirty as a prostitute in a brothel! How can you pretend to be innocent and noble in front of me? "

Snapped!

Liu Lu slapped Zhi Fan!

Zhifan covered her red, swollen and painful face, and was about to curse, but she saw a pair of green eyes full of tears, and her words were stuck in her throat.

Liu Lu sniffed, her big tears falling down, but her tone was as normal as usual: "So you Zhifan always think of me like this! Okay, I won't care about your business anymore, you are Whether you are an honest maid or you fly on a branch and become a phoenix, it has nothing to do with me, Liu Lu! This dirty woman is not worthy of being your friend!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around sadly and strode back to the room.

Zhi Fan looked at Liu Lu’s back and cried aggrievedly.

After Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu had dinner, they insisted on going to the old lady’s yard.

 The old lady is sixty-one years old this year. She is round and round, and looks very happy. Her hair was **** in a simple bun with silver threads. Unlike other old women who like to wear forehead wipes, all the hair in front of her forehead was combed into the bun, revealing her smooth and broad forehead. She said it was cooler this way.

 The old lady threw away her cards and laughed loudly: "I'm confused! Hurry up and pay for it!"

Mrs. Zhen leaned over and took a look, widened her eyes and said, "Oh, mother, are you too lucky? If you win more than ten games in a row, will you give us a way to survive as juniors? If you continue like this, I have to drink the northwest wind!"

Zhen is the mother of Prince An and Zhuge Shu. She has a long face, deep eyes, slender eyebrows, and a small black mole on the corner of her lips, which adds a bit of charm to her beautiful appearance. Shui Linglong is also here. On the way, I learned that Zhen was not Zhuge Liufeng's first wife, but his equal wife.

Zhuge Shu put down the cards in his hand and said with a smile: "That's what grandma can do. Auntie, don't you think so?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Leng Youru who was quietly enjoying tea at the side.

Leng Youru smiled and said nothing, and Zhuge Xi hurriedly echoed a few words: "I haven't had such a good fight in a long time. Jiang is still old and hot. I lost everything today and come back tomorrow!"

The old lady gave her an angry look: "Come again tomorrow? I'm not afraid of teaching my great-grandson a bad lesson!" After saying that, his shining eyes turned to Zhuge Xi's slightly bulging abdomen.

Zhuge Xi touched his belly, and a rare softness appeared in his eyebrows: "How did he know? He is still a little meat ball now!"

Leng Youru looked at Zhuge Xi's belly, her eyes a little dark.

"It's been five months! Has the baby moved?" Zhen asked happily.

The maid removed the cards, put on a new tablecloth, served delicious cakes and tea, and took a wet handkerchief to the masters to clean their hands one by one.

Zhuge Xi wiped his hands and handed the handkerchief to Hua Rong, and said calmly: "It just started in the past two days, not much, maybe once or twice at night." He put a cherry in his mouth.

Mrs. Zhen took a sip of the iced sour plum soup, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "It must be a son! When I was pregnant with the prince, the fetal movements came late, and there were not many. When I was pregnant with Shu, I had fetal movements just four months old. Everyone said that my nephew Like uncle, don’t be as lazy as the prince in your belly, then you have something to worry about.”

　　Everyone in the room laughed out loud, except Leng Youru, who smiled faintly, like a jade Guanyin, and was incompatible with the noisy world and endless family relationships.

The old lady pretended to be displeased and glared at Mrs. Zhen: "Why is Ming'er so lazy? I think he is very diligent and can do it better than the girl Shu!"

"Grandma! You guys are talking all over the place, why are you getting involved with me?" Zhuge Shu pursed her red lips, "I'll tell you if you don't want to see me. I'll shave my head and become a sister-in-law tomorrow, so I won't be an eyesore to you!"

Mrs. Zhen secretly winked at her daughter. Why is she so incapable of taking a joke? The old lady likes her so she compares her with Ming'er, but she is better and doesn't know how to praise her at all.

Just at this time, Dong Jialin walked into the room carrying a tray. Five bowls of different colors and shapes were placed on the tray, each bowl containing drinks of different flavors. She bowed to everyone in the room and said softly: "Old lady, princess, second lady, cousin-in-law, fourth lady."

The old lady had already learned from Zhuge Xi that Dong Jialin had taken care of Zhuge Xi for a long time some time ago. After getting along with him for a few days, Dong Jialin had a gentle personality and was well regarded by others. She looked at Dong Jialin and said pleasantly, "What delicious food has Miss Lin cooked today?"

Dong Jialin put the tray on the table and said gently: "The honey lotus root powder is for the old lady, the rose tea is for the princess, the green plum and grape juice is for the second lady, and the coconut milk and almond juice is for the fourth lady. Cousin-in-law I couldn’t eat ice, so I made a cup of longan and red date tea.”

“It’s hard for you to understand everyone’s habits so clearly.” The old lady smiled appreciatively, took a bite of the honey lotus root powder, and felt extremely comfortable from the throat to the abdominal cavity, “But did you put mint in it?”

Dong Jialin smiled sheepishly and said: "You have already seen this. Originally, I thought that although summer is hot, older people have poor stomachs and drinking too much ice-containing things is always bad for the body, so I added a little mint to act as ice cubes, I thought I could get away with it!”

 The whole room started laughing again!

Zhuge Xi took Dong Jialin's hand, and Hua Rong quickly moved a piece of cake for Dong Jialin to sit down next to Zhuge Xi.

Mrs. Zhen looked at Dong Jialin, with a flash of light in her eyes: "She is such a sweet-hearted person. None of the daughters of our Zhuge family are so considerate!"

It was just a polite word, but Zhuge Shu was displeased: "That's because all the daughters of our Zhuge family are loved by their fathers and mothers! There is no need to do such things as flattering others!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, including the old lady!

Dong Jialin lowered her eyes and tightened her hands on the hem of her skirt. Tears rolled in her eyes, and she resisted to prevent them from falling.

Zhuge Xi looked at this little cousin and said sternly: "Apologise to Miss Dong Jia quickly!"

Zhuge Shu snorted coldly and looked at the sky: "I'm not wrong! Why should I apologize to her? Don't you want people to tell the truth? Is she wronged? I just have this temper. If I can't stand it, I will reply Go to her Yao family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Cheng and Prince An opened the curtain and came in. They played chess in the study all afternoon and even forgot to eat dinner. They planned to go to the old lady's yard to have dinner together, but they just entered. When the house heard Zhuge Shu's heart-wrenching remarks, Yao Cheng's face turned ugly. Dong Jialin was the cousin of the Yao family. Zhuge Shu drove people directly back to the Yao family. Yao Cheng had the illusion that he was also disliked. Now he He has become extremely sensitive since he had nothing. In addition, he can only rely on notes to maintain his memory every day, and he has extremely low self-esteem...

Prince An looked solemn: "Little sister! Don't be rude! Apologize to Miss Dong Jia quickly! Otherwise, I will send you back to Kashgar tonight for Qing!"

As soon as he heard "send back to Kashgar for celebration", Zhuge Shu turned pale with fright. He blinked his eyelids quickly and stood up to face Dong Jialin. He said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I didn't speak clearly. Please forgive me." And the attitude is extremely perfunctory.

Mrs. Zhen glared at her son resentfully!

 Prince An looked at his sister with a hint of anger in his eyes, not paying attention to the powerful glances directed at Zhen.

Dong Jialin tried her best to hold back her tears.

Zhuge Xi sighed slightly.

Leng Youru was drinking scented tea, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

 The old lady was in a daze, her face not very pretty.

It was such a strange scene when Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu entered the room.

Shui Linglong blinked and said with a smile: "Tong Yan Wuji, Miss Dong Jia will not take it to heart."

Dong Jialin's long eyelashes trembled, and she quickly followed Shui Linglong's words and said, "What the Crown Princess said makes sense. I was so surprised that I couldn't recover. I really didn't take it to heart."

Zhuge Shu couldn't help but take another look at Shui Linglong!
