First Concubine

Chapter 119 The mystery of life experience (4)

This look of astonishment pleased Zhuge Yu, who smiled slightly: "Zhou Wu is a poor farmer in Yancheng. He was sold into the palace by his biological father and became an eunuch. He has been working for a certain palace official. He is considered a confidant! Shang Gong was infected with the epidemic once, and Zhou Wu stayed with her in the cold palace for half a year. In the end, 'Zhou Wu' died, and 'Jin Shang Gong' survived the epidemic. I guess it was at that time that Xun Feng gave Zhou Wu a cure. After the operation, not only did Jin Shanggong look like a woman, but his body also became a woman, so the Jin Shanggong you see now is not Jin Chen at all, but Zhou Wu. Naturally, he will not care about Master Jin's life or death. "

It was not easy to check this information. He only gathered the exact information after the wedding banquet started. He was planning to go find her and explain things to her. It would be better for her to just slip out of the back door with Guo Yan!

Xun Feng even thought that she and Guo Yan would kidnap Jin Chen’s father. There was a hint of chill in Shui Linglong's eyes. This was not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing was that ten years ago, Xun Feng was less than ten years old, and he could... be able to perform such a complicated surgery! What kind of monster is he?

Zhuge Yuzhuang spoke as if unintentionally: "Although he is sinister, he will not use force on women. I guess he has other motives for arresting you. Think carefully and see if he has done anything weird to you." ”

Shui Linglong bit off the thread and said thoughtfully: "What a strange move? He blindfolded me, and then I felt something cold and slippery on my neck, and then you came."

 Cool, slippery, tongue? Is Xun Feng still being frivolous about Linglong? Then he's going to chop him up!

Shui Linglong put away her needle and thread and folded her clothes: "What's so special about Jin Shang Palace?"

Zhuge Yu suppressed his anger and said: "I know some things like Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, fortune telling and fortune telling."

Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu said in unison: "Leech!"

 Pingnanhou Mansion.

Xun Feng watched the plump leech squirming around in the porcelain bowl. He couldn't help but stretch out his slender jade-like fingers to gently poke its fat body. The smile on his lips was as warm as the wind, as if what he was poking was not a leech. , but the water is exquisite.

Jin Shanggong looked at Xun Feng with his left arm bandaged and showed a slightly crazy smile. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I have only read the records in books, but I have never practiced them. I don't know the specific effects. Guaranteed!"

Xun Feng seemed to say casually: "Then I will be the first one to eat crabs!"

Jin Shanggong said sincerely: "Although Shui Linglong is a noble person in the fiefdom, she really does not have the destiny of being a queen. The prince must think carefully and change her fate. Maybe... the final result will be a lose-lose situation! There is no shortage of beautiful women around the prince. If If you really like Shui Linglong, you can take her as your own, but... the future Feng position is not suitable for her!"

Xun Feng continued to poke the leech in the bowl. The leech wanted to **** his blood, but he hid quickly, "What you don't understand is that some people can't tell what is good, but they just saw her right and thought she was suitable. "The most important thing is that no one has ever made him suffer one after another. This is really... so interesting! And only women who are smart enough are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

In the Mohe Courtyard, Shui Linglong blinked and said in confusion: "Why is he sucking my blood with leeches?"

Zhuge Yu thought of some of Kashgar Qing's witchcraft and his eyes darkened: "I will find a way to get it back. You should rest early and tell your husband-in-law directly what you want to check or do in the future. Do you understand?"

"Yeah." Shui Linglong smiled and nodded, walked over and held his arm. This time she was really satisfied with Zhuge Yu's performance! She took the initiative to kiss his handsome, wheat-colored face and said with a smile, "My husband is the best!"

Zhuge Yu raised the corners of his lips in amusement.

With the lessons learned from the past, Shui Linglong simply told the whole story about Concubine De and Xiao Anzi, including the cooperation between Zhuge Liuyun and Concubine De, as well as her determination to protect Guo Yan. As for the one who accidentally overheard in the corner, Shui Linglong didn't mention the person. In her opinion, since Zhuge Liuyun didn't mind, she didn't need to care either.

After listening to Shui Linglong’s explanation without any personal emotions, Zhuge Yu’s eyes flashed with a very strange dark light...

 Inside the main courtyard.

Zhuge Liuyun was sitting in a wheelchair, playing with a finely crafted brush in his hand. Zhuge Xi stood opposite him, looking slightly uneasy.

“Are you alone today?” Zhuge Liuyun asked calmly and powerfully.

Zhuge Xi lowered his eyes to cover up his erratic expression, and tried his best to calmly say: "Yes! I just wanted to walk around, so I didn't take the maid and my wife with me. Seeing Xiao Anzi's hurried expression, I was confused, lest Concubine De would betray her. The queen was doing something... bad, so I followed her."

Zhuge Liuyun's sharp eyes slowly swept across her face, then looked at her bulging belly, and said sternly: "You are old enough. You should understand the stakes. No matter what you hear, you will give it to me." I'm rotten in my stomach, understand?"

Zhuge Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting around the eldest princess!

After this incident, Shui Linglong's attitude towards Zhuge Yu changed a little. In the past, Zhuge Yu would wait for Shui Linglong to wash up while he was sleepy in the morning, but now she woke up with him refreshed.

Zhuge Yu usually went to the study to have breakfast because he was afraid of disturbing her. This was the first time he did this in the house.

 The breakfast was very rich, including a bowl of corn soup, a plate of fried cabbage, two bowls of beef noodles, a cage of crystal steamed dumplings, and four donkey meat buns.

 Zhuge Yu used one more steamed bun and half a bowl of corn soup than usual. Anping reported Zhuge Yu's meal situation to Shui Linglong every day, so Shui Linglong knew it well even if she had never seen it.

Shui Linglong blinked her bright eyes and said with a smile: "Come back early in the morning, I'll wait for you at home."

A soft spot in Zhuge Yu's heart was touched. Before she came, the palace was just a shelter from wind and rain to him, but now it is a home. Zhuge Yu touched her little head and pressed a kiss on her forehead: "Well, I'm going to court. Be happy at home."

Shui Linglong smiled and nodded, looking at his back as he left gracefully. Is it an illusion or something else, she actually had a trace of... Oh! An indescribable feeling.

After Zhifan put away the tableware, Shui Linglong was still looking at the door in a daze. Zhifan suppressed his laughter and went out of the house. When he met Liu Lu on the corridor, he told Shui Linglong's strange behavior to Liu Lu, and Liu Lu laughed: "Our eldest lady is beginning to have a crush on Fanfan!"

Zhifan said happily: "I hope the eldest lady will open up her heart to the prince soon. I am anxious to watch from the sidelines!"

Liu Lu poked Zhi Fan with her elbow: "Hey, hey, hey, you haven't given up yet, right?"

Zhi Fan opened her evil arm and rolled his eyes at her: "I'm not allowed to compete for favor, and you're not allowed to like me secretly?"

Liu Lu sighed, feelings are not like a scar that can be healed and the pain forgotten. Is it wrong to like someone? As long as you recognize your identity, there seems to be nothing wrong with having a little fantasy in your heart!

Shui Linglong went to Wisteria Court to visit Shui Lingqing. She has become a lot more honest since she gave her a good beating last time. When Shui Linglong entered the room, she was copying copybooks carefully at her desk and didn't even hear Qiaoer's announcement.

Qiaoer knelt down to Shui Linglong and planned to say hello. Shui Linglong made a sign of silence. Qiaoer understood and stepped aside respectfully.

Shui Lingqing has changed a lot in the past two months. Her facial features have become longer and her stature has become taller. She looks like a big girl at first glance.

The way Shui Lingqing was tracing the copybook seriously made Shui Linglong feel that stick education was actually quite reliable!

After practicing calligraphy, Shui Linglong took a deep breath, put the brush on the pen holder, stretched, and turned around to find Shui Linglong standing at the door, looking at her with a smile on her face.

Shui Lingqing was stunned for a moment, then walked around the desk and threw herself into Shui Linglong's soft arms: "Sister!"

Shui Linglong touched her pink face and said gently: "Have you had breakfast?"

Shui Lingqing smiled and said: "I've eaten! I've eaten a lot, a bowl of noodles, a bun and two dumplings!"

Shui Linglong looked satisfied: "Why have you been so good recently?"

Shui Lingqing tilted her head and said: "Because eldest sister is good to me! I know that eldest sister loves me the most! Don't worry, eldest sister, I will never make trouble again in the future, and I will be obedient!"

Shui Linglong was confused. She had deliberately neglected Qing'er a lot recently. Where did the words "good" and "most painful" in Qing'er's mouth come from?

Shui Lingqing looked at Shui Linglong's astonished look and suddenly realized that she had spilled the beans. She smiled quickly and changed her words: "I know blessings when I am living in blessings! In short, I have grown up and am more sensible than before! "

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows doubtfully, and then looked at Qiao'er. Qiao'er quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Shui Linglong.

 After bidding farewell to Shui Lingqing, Shui Linglong went to Tian'anju to pay her respects to the old lady.

 The old lady sat on the edge of the kang, her face flushed: "But is it true?"

On the chairs on the left, Leng Youru, Zhen, Zhuge Xi and Zhuge Shu were sitting in sequence. Opposite them, there was an honored guest who was smiling with crooked eyebrows and answered the old lady's words: "It's not true. The third girl of the Qiao family, even Lord Long live praised her! She even held her in her arms when she was a child. Lord Long live said that this child is a blessing at first sight, and her future match will definitely be a worthy one!"

Mrs. Zhen turned sideways and patted Zhuge Xi's somewhat cold hand, and said with a smile, "Isn't it true? Even my niece is full of praise for Miss Qiao San!" Although she didn't know why Zhuge Xi changed her mind, she succeeded. , she is happy!

Zhuge Xi's long eyelashes trembled in an irregular rhythm: "Oh, I had a few chats at the banquet yesterday, and I found that she has extraordinary conversational skills and excellent temperament."

 Leng Youru glanced at Zhuge Xi!

As if she had seen her second great-grandson, the old lady's eyes flashed with golden light: "Mrs. Wu, I leave the matchmaking to you. After all, Su Chenghou is a relative of the emperor, and we will never accept the betrothal gift. "No, if the other party has any requests, just ask them!"

Mrs. Wu collected her thoughts, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips: "I just went to the Suchenghou Mansion this morning and chatted with Mrs. Qiao for a while. Mrs. Qiao accidentally mentioned that she was interested in the third girl's husband's family. It’s easy to ask for other things. We don’t care about wealth or poverty for the time being. To be simple, before the third girl gets married, her husband’s family is not allowed to take concubines!”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the old lady and Mrs. Zhen changed. Dong Jialin was still waiting. Although she had lost her memory, Feng Yanying was pressing hard. They had to give the woman an explanation as soon as possible! Besides, whether a woman is pregnant or not is not like spring plowing and autumn harvest. Could it be that if Qiao Hui has not been pregnant for three or five years, Prince An will not take concubines?

 The old lady is not happy!

Mrs. Zhen is not very happy either!

Mrs. Wu understood the concerns of the Zhuge family. She looked at Zhuge Xi, who only got married five years later, and smiled at the old lady and said: "But Mr. Qiao said that Mrs. Qiao's request was too much. Who can say about the pregnancy?" That’s right! If you can’t conceive for one year, you can take a concubine to your husband’s family!”

 Old Taijun and Mrs. Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, they could still afford it in a year.

Zhuge Shu snorted, looked at the sky and said, "You don't care whether my second brother takes a concubine before we get married? Can a man's heart be controlled? Is she ugly or has no talent or virtue? That's not true. confidence!"

Shui Linglong had just opened the curtain and heard Zhuge Shu's words about carrying guns and cannons. She shook her head and went in to greet her elders: "Grandma, concubine, second aunt, eldest sister." Then she looked at Mrs. Wu, He said politely, "I haven't seen you for a long time, madam. How are you, madam?"

Mrs. Wu stood up quickly and gave Shui Linglong a half-salute in return, and said kindly, "Everything is fine with me. Thank you for your concern, Crown Princess."

Shui Linglong greeted Zhuge Shu again and then sat down next to the old lady. The old lady peeled off a candy corn and gave it to Shui Linglong to eat. Shui Linglong was embarrassed to tell the old lady that her little great-grandson was in trouble again...

Leng Youru looked at Shui Linglong’s flat belly, her cold eyes tightened, but she didn’t say anything!

Everyone chatted all over the place for a while, and Shui Linglong roughly understood what they were talking about, which was that Prince An finally settled on Qiao Hui, the third lady of Suchenghou Mansion. Shui Linglong was a little surprised. Zhuge Xi, who had previously strongly opposed it, didn't say anything this time. It even... seemed like she was the one who brokered the marriage!

 Changing orders day by day is not like Zhuge Xi’s style.

But it’s fine no matter what. Anyway, according to her observation, Zhen’s original crush was also Qiao Hui, but Dong Jialin had to delay.

Mrs. Wu used the cup lid to stir up the floating tea leaves in the cup, and said with a mysterious look on her face: "This time Qiu Wei's results are out!"

“Oh?” Mrs. Zhen became interested, “Is the young master of Suchenghou Mansion in high school?”

Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea, glanced at Shui Linglong, and said: "Qiao Ying, the second son of Su Chenghou Mansion, was selected and ranked second!" Shui Minyu and Shui Minhui of Shangshu Mansion... were not nominated on the list. .

"Ouch! The second place is really amazing! Second Young Master Qiao from the Su Chenghou Mansion has really shined this time!" Mrs. Zhen finished speaking with uncontrollable joy, glanced at her daughter, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Shui Linglong tucks her hair back from her temples. If she remembers correctly, Shui Minyu ranked first in the local area this year and became Jieyuan, and finally the top pick in high school. Shui Minyu usually hides in the academy because she doesn't want Mu Xiu. Yu Lin, but not without real talent and learning.

“Who is the first Jie Yuan?” Shui Linglong wanted to be sure.

Mrs. Wu stared for a while and thought for a while, then said: "I can't remember his name. I've never heard of that personage. Anyway, he's not a young master from an aristocratic family!"

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, has history changed again? Who changed it?
