First Concubine

Chapter 109: Cesarean section (2)

Only then did Prince An remember that she was an orphan, and the mention of Jiangnan undoubtedly mentioned her sadness. Prince An apologized: "I'm sorry, it brought back sad memories for you."

Dong Jialin shook her head as if nothing had happened: "I disturbed the prince's interest. It's getting late. The prince should go back and rest. I'm going back too." Bow down to Prince An.

Prince An Jun said gently and politely: "I will send it to you."

Dong Jialin pursed her lips: "Then...there is Prince Lao'an."

The two of them walked down the steps side by side. The clear moonlight illuminated their slender figures, and the September night breeze brought a bit of coolness, which was refreshing.

At the entrance of Lanxiang Pavilion, Dong Jialin bid farewell to Prince An shyly and walked into her yard.

Unexpectedly, just when King An was about to turn around and leave, Dong Jialin's scream like a pig being slaughtered came from inside! Prince An trembled all over. He rushed into Dong Jialin's house without caring about the differences between men and women and the rules of the courtyard. He saw Dong Jialin leaning against the closet with a pale face. A pile of clothes were scattered on the floor, including women's skirts and obscene clothes. trousers, bellyband... And among those clothes, dozens of black caterpillars were crawling around...

 Princess Prince An pulled her out of the room with a red face, and ordered his servants to clean up the scene.

By the pond not far from the back door of the yard, Zhuge Shu and Shui Lingqing were laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt from laughing. Zhuge Shu said, "Did you hear it? She screamed like a slaughtered pig! Haha... She deserves to be scared to death!"

Shui Lingqing clapped her hands happily: "That's right! I don't think she is worthy of Prince An! Prince An is such a talented person that he should marry... the daughter of a wealthy family!" She originally planned to say, "Heirloom" Miss", but when thinking of his own identity, he omitted the word "direct descendant".

Zhuge Shu's face suddenly darkened: "How can a daughter from an ordinary family be worthy of my second brother?"

Shui Lingqing was startled. Is it true that the princess is the only one worthy of this?

Zhuge Shu put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly: "Huh! If she continues to pester my second brother, I will do more than just put caterpillars into her clothes!"

Shui Lingqing pursed her lips: "That's right! What's her relationship with the Zhuge family? Why should she stay in the palace and not leave? Look, you are the prince's cousin, and I am the prince's concubine's biological sister. The two of us are Who is she if she is qualified to stay in the palace?"

 Why does this... sound a little uncomfortable? Zhuge Shu frowned and corrected the words in her words that she didn't like: "I am the granddaughter of the old lady! The palace is my home!"

This is like many poor children staying with rich relatives. If you ask them where do you live? He would say, I live in my grandma's house, but in fact it is his aunt's house, and the person in charge is not his grandma.

Of course Zhuge Shu is not a poor child, but privately she still prefers to be an old lady.

Shui Lingqing feels that she has a closer relationship with the palace. She is the eldest sister’s biological sister!

Zhuge Shu took her hand and quickly put the unpleasantness of this moment behind him: "Let's go. If you go back late, you will be scolded!"

Unknown to them, as soon as the two of them turned around, Prince An appeared in front of them like a ghost...

Inside the courtyard wall, Dong Jialin could no longer hold back her tears as she heard the footsteps of the three people walking away.

"Miss!" The personal maid Xing'er finished her work and looked around for Dong Jialin. She heard her low sobbing in the backyard. She carefully knelt down and said, "Miss, life in the palace is not easy. Let's go back to Yao. Go home!”

"Is it my fault that I became an orphan? Do I want to lose the love of my father and mother at a young age? Is it wrong that I rely on my own efforts to find a suitable husband? I didn't give Yao Cheng the love that Leng Wei did Drugging, causing trouble for Zhuge Xi, and instigating relationships with others! I just try to please everyone seriously! What's wrong with this? Is it because I am an orphan that I am destined to be inferior to others? A fat gentleman or a martial arts scholar whose name is unknown?" Dong Jialin cried more and more fiercely.

　　　Xing'er didn't know how to answer the call.

Dong Jialin wiped away her tears and said: "From Jiangnan to the capital, we have faced so many difficulties and obstacles. What is this setback?"

Xing'er sighed: "Miss, my servant has checked and it was Xiao Tao who served the tea who put the insects into the clothes. Do you think we should tell Miss Zhuge to evacuate Xiao Tao from the yard?"

Dong Jialin also sighed: "Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. You have to learn to read people's faces when you are living under someone else's roof. If it's not Xiaotao, it could be someone else. Zhuge Shu is the serious master of the house. Who does she want to bribe in my yard, an outsider? It's easy, and... if you anger her, her methods will only become more subtle and fierce. Now that you know there is something wrong with Xiao Tao, you should keep an eye on Xiao Tao's movements and carefully check everything she touches." After all, he is just a child, and he will not really kill her. He is just teasing her to vent her anger, "Did you get back the fabric I asked you to buy?"

Xing'er nodded: "I bought it."

“Set up the embroidery frame and I will make it tonight.”

“Miss, you didn’t sleep last night to sew the footwear for the old lady, so you should rest tonight. It doesn’t matter if the second lady is two days late, and the second lady didn’t press for it.”

"Have a rest?" Dong Jialin touched her thin face and smiled bitterly, "As long as it can change the plight of poverty, what's not worth it even if I go blind in one eye?"

In the Mohe Courtyard, Zhuge Yu walked out of the clean room after taking a shower and sat on the soft couch opposite the bed. He was wearing ice blue clothes, with a different kind of coldness all over his body, and his black hair was wet and hanging down. His face was as dark and shiny as silk. His handsome face was as beautiful as before, but the smile at the corner of his lips was meaningful, vaguely... twitchy!

Thinking of what he did to her in the clean room, Shui Linglong was so ashamed even though she had lived two lifetimes. Shui Linglong lowered her eyes, walked to his side with a towel, took off her shoes and got on the bed, kneeling before him Wiping his hair that was full of water drops behind him, Shui Linglong's mood gradually calmed down without looking at his evil face, and she started talking about the topic: "Where did you do Ah Jue? He seems to be Didn't go back to Yao's house." After coming out of Zhuge Liuyun's yard, she went to see Zhuge Xi before returning to the yard. Zhuge Xi told her that Ah Jue seemed to have left Yao's house.

  Her fingertips felt cool and soft as they slowly roamed over his hair and scalp, very comfortable, just like her mother's hands in her memory, but with the tenderness of a wife. Zhuge Yu curled his lips, picked up a secret report, and said while browsing: "Oh, I locked him up to vent my anger for you."

Well, Ah Jue was also wrong in this matter and should be punished! Shui Linglong didn't think deeply, she just wiped it, her hands suddenly rested on his shoulders, and her eyes fell on the secret report: "What is it?"

Zhuge Yu said: "The progress of the project of diverting water from the south to the west."

Shui Linglong narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Has work started yet?"

Zhuge Yu handed the letter to her: "Not yet, work will start at the end of the month."

Shui Linglong unceremoniously took the letter that a boudoir woman was not supposed to read and read it with interest.

Zhuge Yu's hair is about seven to eight times dry, but not dewy yet. She looked at it seriously and didn't notice that Zhuge Yu also took off his shoes, moved behind her and wiped her wet hair.

Zhuge Yu used his slender fingers to carefully comb her long black and smooth hair, and felt the silky touch slowly flowing between his fingers. His movements became gentle involuntarily, as if he was afraid of startling her reading. Or break even one of her black hairs.

Shui Linglong looked at the massive amount of high-density information in the secret report, and the surprise in her eyes became more and more obvious. She even reported what type of nails were used. How capable is that spy? In this way, she can relax a little. The diversion of water from the south to the west is a major project that benefits Kashgar Qing. If it is good, Kashgar Qing can have a good harvest.

“Do you know what treasure Prince Mobei brought to Zhou Dynasty to present to the emperor this time?” Zhuge Yu asked softly.

Shui Linglong took over his words casually: "What?"

 "Mobei treasure map "Guanyin Buddha Lotus"."

Shui Linglong was slightly startled: "Huh? He also has "Guanyin Buddha Lotus"! Which one is the real one?"

 Zhuge Yu said thoughtfully: "I don't know."

Shui Linglong turned around and realized that he had been wiping her hair behind her. Shui Linglong took the towel from his hand and said, "I'll do it myself!"

Zhuge Yu looked at her white and cute little hands holding the soft and shiny black hair and wiping it carefully. Zhuge Yu's eyes darkened. Her hand should be touching him!

Zhuge Yu threw her down on the soft couch. Shui Linglong glared at him angrily. He rubbed her fleshy little earlobes and felt her body tremble slightly. He smiled evilly and said something else. He pointedly said: "You liked what you did just now, didn't you?"

Shui Linglong thought of the pleasure he gave her in the clean room, and her little face turned red instantly.

The delicate kiss gently fell on her white and tender face, making her slightly itchy. She subconsciously avoided it, but Zhuge Yu clasped her kisses on both sides and whispered seductively: "Shall I give it to you again? "

 “Prince Concubine! Prince An wishes to see you!”

 All **** comes to an abrupt end! Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu were both stunned. Shui Linglong was the first to react. She opened him up and sat up. She walked behind the screen and started to change clothes: "Prince An, please wait a moment!"

Zhuge Yu was so angry that his nose was filled with smoke. It came at the wrong time!

After Shui Linglong was fully dressed, she met Prince An and Shui Lingqing, who looked frightened, at the gate of Mohe Courtyard. Prince An briefly told the story of Zhuge Shu teasing Dong Jialin, and in his words, Shui Lingqing was picked out. It seemed that all the responsibilities belonged to Zhuge Shu, but Shui Linglong understood that since King An personally "sent" Shui Lingqing back, it meant that Shui Lingqing had done something wrong!

Shui Linglong glared at Shui Lingqing with hatred, and Shui Lingqing was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Zhuge Yu who was following closely. Shui Linglong looked at Prince An and said apologetically: "I will discipline Qing'er well."

Prince An is indeed very angry, not because they have made things difficult for Dong Jialin, but because they are so naughty at a young age, and there is no telling what they will become in the future! He suppressed his anger and cupped his hands: "Shu'er has led your younger sister into mischief. I am here to apologize to my sister-in-law."

Shui Linglong smiled slightly and returned a half salute: "The prince's words are serious. I failed to discipline my sister well. It has nothing to do with Shu'er. Please forgive me."

Prince An stared at him and said, "Farewell!"

Shui Linglong nodded. After Prince An left, Shui Linglong stepped into the yard and looked coldly at Shui Lingqing who was hiding behind Zhuge Yu: "Come in!"

Shui Lingqing was so frightened that she trembled all over. She tugged on Zhuge Yu's sleeve and whispered, "Brother-in-law, save me!"

Zhuge Yu shook his head and sighed: "Bless yourself!" This time it was indeed too much.

As soon as Shui Linglong entered the room, she took out a ruler and spanked Shui Lingqing hard, until her white calves were covered with purple marks. Then she said in a cold voice: "You are getting more and more outrageous! You promised me that you would do your homework tonight, but you went out to make fun of people! You feel great, don’t you?”

Shui Lingqing denied it: "I...I didn't do anything..."

Snapped!

Shui Linglong hit Shui Lingqing on the leg with a ruler again. Although she wanted to slap her in the face for her panic, she had a principle when teaching her children, that is, not to slap her in the face. No matter how insulting it is, even parents should not do this to their children.

Shui Lingqing screamed in pain. She was very angry and angry that her eldest sister didn't believe her! Lying is her business, but the eldest sister should believe her, even if she lied! She cried angrily: "I really didn't do anything! If you don't believe me, you don't believe me!"

Shui Linglong's lungs were about to burst with anger: "You didn't do anything? Okay! From now on, copy the "Female Commandments" for me a hundred times, and I will go to bed when I finish copying it! Ye Mao!"

 Ye Mao pushed open the door and walked in: "Miss!"

Shui Linglong said sternly: "Look at her! She is not allowed to be lazy! No one is allowed to copy for her!"

 “Yes!” Ye Mao agreed quickly and dragged Shui Lingqing, who looked unhappy, out of the house. Alas! Even she knows the temper of the eldest lady, and she hates it the most when others fool her. Wouldn't it be nice for the fifth lady to just admit her mistakes? It must make both sisters unhappy!

After the two of them went out, Shui Linglong called Zhifan again: "Bring me my dowry."

Zhi Fan held the dowry, and Shui Linglong carefully selected a pair of peacock walking sticks, a jade feather gold hairpin and a pair of sapphire flower diamonds, and said calmly: "Send it to Miss Dong Jia, just say that I apologize to her." ”

On the other side, Zhuge Shu was nestling in Zhen's arms, crying her eyes out. Prince An looked at her indifferently, his sharp eyes wishing to peel off a layer of her scalp!

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Why did the second brother want to hurt her?

"Aren't you very courageous when you tease people? Why are you crying now?" Prince An's voice sounded like a cold pond!

Zhuge Shu said angrily: "Why don't I just tease her a little? I didn't really hurt her! Why are you so anxious? Are you really attracted to her? She is just a homeless orphan girl. , what makes you worthy of you? Let me tell you, I will not only tease her today, but I will also tease her tomorrow, and I will tease her again the day after tomorrow... I will tease her every day until she is kicked out of the palace. !”

Prince An said sternly: "Are you still being unreasonable?"

 Zhuge Shu's eyes widened: "I'm not being unreasonable!"

Mrs. Zhen started to make peace: "Okay, okay, you two brothers and sisters should say one less thing. Shu'er, you have indeed gone too far this time. How can you catch caterpillars? What will happen if you are stung?" Okay? Mom will feel bad! There are so many ways to tease people, why can’t you change it?”

"Mom!" King An was furious, "Shu'er's temper was spoiled by you, so she made such a big mistake! For whom did I rush to the battlefield to fight for that military glory? Not to clean up the aftermath for her. "This military merit should have belonged to his third brother. His father had sent the most capable people to protect him. As soon as the third brother made great achievements, his father announced that he was the successor to the clan leader. He was just a follower. He was just a soldier fighting at the back. If Zhuge Shu hadn't made such a mistake, why would he have risked disobeying his father and offending his aunt to rush to the front and seize the military glory? He also exposed the strength he had hidden for many years. Now, even his father is afraid of him! Why should he stay in the capital to develop? Because Kashgar...he can't go back!

Zhuge Shu's neck shrunk and she nestled in Zhen's arms and stopped talking.

Mrs. Zhen glared at her son and said, "Okay, okay, it's all because I, the mother, didn't teach you well. If you want to blame, just blame me!"

 “Mother—” Prince An gritted his teeth!

Zhuge Shu grabbed the lapel of Zhen's clothes and trembled all over.

Mrs. Zhen hugged her trembling daughter tightly and her face darkened: "Okay! Besides, your sister will have nightmares again! I will send an apology to Miss Dong Jia. No matter how good she is, she is still an outsider, and you can't do it for her. Treat your sister harshly!"

 Zhuge Shu smiled with satisfaction, her mother still loved her!

After Dong Jialin took a bath, Myolie walked in with two gifts. One was from Shui Linglong, which included a pair of peacock steps, an emerald feather golden hairpin and a pair of sapphire flower diamonds; the other was from Zhen. , a picture of pure gold and emerald head and face.

Xing'er looked at her young lady's expression carefully and asked, "The Crown Princess said that she wanted to apologize to you. The Second Madam said that the Fourth Young Lady was young and ignorant, please forgive her."

Dong Jialin glanced at the gifts given by the two people. It was obvious that Shui Linglong had chosen them carefully. The colors and styles complemented her temperament and clothing. Was it a gift from Zhen? It was luxurious, but she did not have suitable clothes to match it.

Dong Jialin took out two double-sided embroidered fans that were lightly scented with fragrance. One of them had a Jiangnan lake scene embroidered with colorful threads. It was considered the rarest item for her to get rid of. Logically speaking, the more expensive one should be given to Mrs. Zhen, but after thinking about it, she still handed the fan with a view of the Jiangnan Lake to Xing'er's hand: "Give it to the Crown Princess. Thank you for her jewelry." Then she took another one. A koi carp playing in the water said calmly, "Give it to the second lady!"

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
