First Concubine

Chapter 120 Secrets of the Royal Palace (1)

After Mrs. Wu left, everyone waited for the old lady to fall asleep before leaving the yard one after another.

After leaving Tian'anju, Leng Youru called Shui Linglong and said with a calm expression: "Has the little day come this month?"

Shui Linglong replied: "I just came to talk to my mother and concubine."

Leng Youru said "hmm" and said, "Forget it, you are still young. You just need to be more restrained in sexual intercourse, so that you can get pregnant more easily."

A strange emotion flashed through Shui Linglong's heart, and the ordinary words seemed... a bit strange to her ears. Shui Linglong said respectfully: "I will try my best to give my mother and concubine a grandson."

 “That’s good.” But he didn’t even move his eyelids!

Shui Linglong took a deep look at Leng Youru. Ever since Dong Jialin's incident, she couldn't feel the slightest bit of fairy energy from the princess anymore. She felt that the princess was hiding very deep, so deep that maybe even Zhuge Liuyun couldn't. See her true face.

As soon as Shui Lingqing entered Mohe Courtyard, she rushed over to her with tears on her face and almost knocked Shui Linglong down on the couch!

Shui Linglong tried her best to steady her figure and stretched out her arms to hug her: "How can you be so reckless and ladylike? I just praised you in the morning, and now you make a mistake! I don't know how many servants rushed in all the way? Are you like this?" His crying face was exposed, and his prestige was completely destroyed!"

Shui Lingqing twitched and said: "Sister! I'm so happy, really so happy! At that time, my brother-in-law told me that I still didn't believe it at all. Now that Ah Jue understands Yuan, I don't have any doubt at all. Oh! Sister, you are so kind to me!”

  A Jue in the understanding of Yuan? That poor boy whose mind is full of love between men and women... is he in love with Xie Yuan? Shui Linglong opened her mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. Of course, she did not ignore the words "Brother-in-law told me" from Shui Lingqing's mouth. She blinked and said, "What did your brother-in-law say to you?"

Shui Lingqing rubbed her head in Shui Linglong's arms: "Brother-in-law said that you hit me to make me remember, but in fact the person you care about most is me. Otherwise, you wouldn't do it quietly." Jue asked such a good person to be his tutor. The Taifu is the person who teaches the prince, so you went to teach a poor boy like Ajue. Sister, you must have put a lot of thought into it!"

　　When did she ask the Taifu to be A Jue's tutor? She doesn't have such good intentions, and even if she did, she wouldn't have the ability! Shui Linglong was speechless for a long time.

Shui Lingqing said again: "Sister, I was wrong. I was so naughty before. It didn't mean that I had really become bad. I was just afraid that you wouldn't care about me and didn't want me anymore, so I fixed so many things... In the future, I Promise never again!”

Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows. It turned out that it was not her stick education that corrected Shui Lingqing.

Zhen said goodbye to Mrs. Wu in person, and met Zhuge Yu at the second entrance. Zhen looked at Zhuge Yu who was also looking happy and said, "Did Yu'er encounter something happy?"

When asking this question, she was quite expecting Zhuge Yu to notice her mental state and ask her back. Women can always talk about their pleasures.

"Second Aunt." Zhuge Yu nodded politely and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a friend who knows Yuan." He didn't mean to answer Zhen's question!

 Is Jieyuan a friend of Zhuge Yu? Didn't Mrs. Wu say that the other party was not a young master from an aristocratic family? Madam Zhen followed her curiosity and asked, "Who is it?"

 Zhuge Yu glanced at Mr. Zhen meaningfully and said, "Oh, Dong Jialin's brother, Dong Jiajue."

 Dong Jiajue? Zhen was stunned for a moment...

As soon as Zhuge Yu returned to Mohe Courtyard, Shui Linglong happily greeted him. First, she helped him unbutton and take off his court clothes, then brought him warm water to wipe his face, and put on a loose dark-colored regular clothes. He sat on the chair.

Shui Linglong massaged his shoulders and said, "Zhuge Yu, Ah Jue passed the Jie Yuan test!"

Zhuge Yu took her hand that was rubbing on his shoulder, gently pulled her, and held her on his lap: "Well, I got it." No more words!

Shouldn't this man take the opportunity to ask for credit from her and make her feel grateful to him?

Shui Linglong relaxed her body and leaned on his shoulder. The faint fragrance and manly breath on his body smelled very good. She took a few deep breaths and raised her palm-sized face to look at him: "Are you going to please Ah Jue?" "Master?"

Last time he said that he would lock up Ah Jue to vent her anger, but she didn't take it to heart at the time. It didn't matter how he dealt with Ah Jue, as long as he didn't come out to cause trouble for her. She didn't expect that he... spent so much thought on it. Teach Ah Jue to become a talented person. Not only that, he also taught Shui Lingqing attentively.

Zhuge Yu chuckled lightly and tapped her nose: "Don't you blame me for making my own decisions?"

"It's too late to thank you, so why should I blame you? Besides, Shui Minyu didn't get first place, I wish I could shout long live it!" Shui Linglong looked at him and smiled softly: "Thank you, Zhuge Yu."

Zhuge Yu held up her face and kissed her pretty red lips. He didn't help Ah Jue just to make her grateful. If she felt psychologically burdened and felt that she owed him, he would I thought I was doing something unnecessary. After patting her on the shoulder, Zhuge Yu said nonchalantly: "What a big deal, don't be estranged from me!"

Shui Linglong nuzzled into his arms and felt her inner happiness index skyrocketing. The days without a knife to lick blood and a vow of eternal love were dull, but very warm.

Zhuge Yu just let her cause trouble on him, and it was rare for her to take the initiative.

I don't know what came to mind, Shui Linglong's expression changed, she sat up straight and asked: "How is Shui Minyu's score this time?" According to memory, Shui Minyu should be the Jie Yuancai of this session, and even if Jie Yuan is defeated If Ah Jue is taken away, Shui Minyu can also take second place! The second one was Qiao Ying, the young master of the Qiao family. She didn't know who was changing history. Could it be that like Leng Wei, he changed it inexplicably?

 Zhuge Yu's eyes flashed with narrowness, and he looked at her with a wicked smile.

Shui Linglong's eyes suddenly widened, and she said with some disbelief: "Could it be...you did something?"

Zhuge Yu picked up the tea cup, looked at her slightly red and swollen lips, fed her two sips, and then drank the cup she drank from: "This time, I will take out the bad breath for you!"

Shui Minyu is indeed somewhat intelligent. Although he has always pretended to be mediocre in the academy, he secretly fawns over many princes and princes. If he is allowed to rise to prominence, there will probably be another Xun Feng minion in the court in the future. He sent two stunning "little beauties" to Shui Minyu to seduce him day and night. The people he gave were professionally trained, and they were definitely not comparable to the two sweethearts sent by the Prime Minister's Palace. After all, falling behind in studies is secondary, is it the key...

Zhuge Yu whispered a few words in her ear. Shui Linglong took a sip of tea from his cup and suddenly choked on her throat. What a trick!

In the Shangshu Mansion, the old lady was sitting on the throne, staring gloomily at Qin Fangyi who was full of tears. The tea cup in her hand was placed heavily on the table, and she noticed a harsh sound. However, the most irritating thing was not that sound, but Her words: "What did you teach your good legitimate son to be like? He was just ridiculous at home, but how come he was so shameless and shameless when he went to the academy? Who did he inherit this from?"

Even if Qin Fangyi is arrogant and arrogant, she has no confidence this time: "Mother, Minyu... Minyu was confused for a moment, something happened... I'll talk to him later... I'll talk to him later..."

The old lady was filled with anger: "Say? What are you going to say? What can you say that will work? Can you save his reputation? Can you send him back to Xishan College? How much manpower and material resources did Shuifu spend on trying to get a place for admission? This It’s a good thing, I’ll be defeated in a few days! I’m really going to be **** to death by you!”

Shui Lingxi wanted to persuade her, but she moved her lips and swallowed her words again. The eldest brother had indeed gone too far this time. How could he have a quarrel with a man in the classroom and be caught by the dean!

Qin Fangyi felt angry in her heart. She was more sad than anyone else when her son had an accident. Instead of comforting her, the old lady scolded her bloody. How could there be such an unreasonable mother-in-law in the world? Is it her fault that her son is a bad student? It’s the father’s fault if he doesn’t teach him! The old lady couldn't bear to blame her son, so she took out all her anger on her head! How unreasonable!

The old lady's lungs were about to burst with anger, and she punched the table: "Why don't you send someone to get that embarrassing evil thing back?"

Shui Lingxi's eyelids twitched and she pretended to be worried: "Grandma, in my opinion, if something like this happens to our eldest brother, we can't just sit back and wait for death. We have to find ways to relieve the pressure on all parties."

The old lady's gray eyebrows twisted: "What can be done? In less than three days, this scandal will spread throughout the entire capital!"

Shui Lingxi's lips curled up, and she said seriously: "The eldest sister is now the crown prince of the Zhenbei Palace. If she can persuade the eldest brother-in-law to mediate, the future of the eldest brother may not be hopeless."

Qin Fangyi immediately refuted: "No! You can't ask Shui Linglong for anything!" Finally, she found that the old lady was looking at her with sharp eyes like a knife, as if she wanted to poke her into a sieve, so she said softly, "Linglong We have just married into the palace and have not yet established ourselves. How can we have the nerve to cause trouble to Linglong? "

 The most important thing is that Shui Linglong doesn’t care about Shui Minyu’s business at all! Shui Linglong could just roll on the bed laughing!

Shui Lingxi disagreed: "After all, the eldest sister is the daughter of our Shui family. How can she get rid of the Shui family's troubles? The eldest brother has a bad reputation. As his sister, how can she be dignified?"

The old lady nodded thoughtfully: "Then... you go to the palace later and tell your eldest sister what I mean. By the way, bring your fifth sister back. It's not a problem for her to stay in the palace all the time. Son, cause trouble to your eldest sister."

Shui Lingxi was so happy that she could finally go to the palace openly!

After everyone left, Mother Wang walked in with preserved fruit. Thinking of the conversation just now, Mother Wang sighed: "Old madam, do you think the eldest lady will really help the eldest young master?" The relationship between the two of them was not very good at the beginning. !

The old lady was so tired that she seemed unable to open her eyes: "Everyone in the family doesn't let me worry about it. Chenxiang hasn't left the cold palace yet, something happened to Minyu again, but the only girl I can rely on is Linglong!"

Mother Wang stopped talking. In her opinion, no matter it was Shui Chenxiang or Shui Minyu, the eldest lady would not lend a helping hand.

The old lady has had a bad appetite recently and always likes to eat some preserved fruit to appetizer. She picked up a plum and put it into her lips. She held it for a while and it was so sour that she spit it out on the plate. Mother Wang wiped her mouth. If she He thought thoughtfully: "I have to think of a way to give that girl a little favor..."

 But what does she lack? Money or power? She is not short of money, but he cannot give her power.

 What can I do for her...

 Prince’s Mansion.

Yun Li was sitting in the study reading, and a few coughs came out occasionally. Aunt Cheng frowned and knocked on the door with a bowl of snow pear and Sichuan clam soup: "Your Highness, this servant is Aunt Cheng."

Yun Li glanced sideways at a piece of clothing behind the gauze cabinet and said in a hoarse voice: "Mommy, please come in."

Aunt Cheng slowly walked in, bowed, and placed the steaming pear and Sichuan clam soup on the round table: "Your Highness, you have female officials who have not been here to attend your bed for more than a month, but they are not serving you well? Now? There are many new beauties, and the Queen mentioned last time that two beauties would be assigned to the Prince’s Mansion.”

Yun Li's eyes flashed, he put his fist against his lips and coughed heavily. Aunt Cheng was worried: "Your Highness, you have worked too hard, you should take a rest!"

Yun Li followed her words and sighed: "I am afraid that I will disappoint my mother, so I asked Aunt Cheng to explain to her for me. The imperial doctor told me to rest and not have **** in the short term. Aunt Cheng does not have to arrange it in the future." I'm waiting for you, please treat me well and I'll let you know."

"This..." Grandma Cheng glanced at Yunli suspiciously. Yunli coughed a few more times, and she resisted her doubts and stepped out.

After making sure that Mother Cheng had gone far, Yunli smiled in the direction of the gauze cabinet and said, "Let's go, come out!"

Bingbing came to Yunli with a smile, picked up the pear and Sichuan clam soup, and planned to serve him to drink, but suddenly said timidly: "Did the imperial doctor really say that your highness is not suitable for sexual intercourse? Then... I will pay attention to it."

Yunli's gentle eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly and said, "Well, I guess it won't be appropriate to have **** for more than half a year."

 He felt a little sad for this girl to please him in such a way.

Bingbing was secretly happy. When he gets better and she gives birth, the two of them can have **** again!

Yunli couldn't help laughing when he saw the silly look. What a careless girl!

Royal rules are very strict, and there is only so much he can do. Fortunately, now that he is in the prince's palace, she can control her even if the emperor is far away, but that may not be the case after entering the palace.

Bingbing said again: "Your Highness, I want to go to the palace to see Linglong." The main reason was that Shui Minyu had such a scandal, and she was afraid that Linglong would be in an embarrassing situation in the palace, so she wanted to support her.

Yunli’s generous palms covered her slightly protruding belly: “Can I take the car?”

Bingbing smiled and said: "Well! It has been more than three months. The imperial doctor said that now is a relatively stable time."

Yunli smiled warmly: "I asked Chuyun to accompany you."

In the Mohe Courtyard, Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu had some afternoon desserts. Zhuge Yu sat at the desk and read the secret report, while Shui Linglong leaned on the couch and read the storybook. Today she is reading "The Romance of the West Chamber", the content is acceptable, Shui Linglong Linglong looked more engaged.

Zhifan opened the curtain and came in. Just as he was about to salute and say hello, Zhuge Yu raised his head and gave her a sign of silence. Zhi Fan understood, stood at the door and reported silently. Zhuge Yu locked the secret report into a drawer and slowly Walked out of the room.

Outside the Mohe Courtyard, Anping was waiting in the cold wind with red eyes. When he saw Zhuge Yu, he bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Yu saw something wrong with his expression, stared at him and asked, "Is the matter done?"

Anping wiped the tears from his eyes: "The leech is destroyed, Xiaoyi... is dead!"

 The price for stealing something from Xun Feng must be heavy.

 Zhuge Yu's obsidian-like eyes flashed with a dim light: "Where is the body?"

Anping reluctantly replied: "Buried, on a long **** ten miles east of the palace."

Zhuge Yu's eyes were empty, as if he could accommodate the whole world, but there was no focus when he looked closely: "Take me to his grave to burn incense."

 …

Shui Linglong rubbed her sour eyes, put down her notebook and took a look, and found that Zhuge Yu was no longer in the room. She still didn't seem to have her eyes on Zhuge Yu.

 In Shangshu Mansion, she was used to being accompanied by many people in the house. After marrying into the prince's palace, Zhuge Yu didn't like being disturbed, so she gradually got rid of this habit.

 After a while, two distinguished guests came.

Bingbing and Shui Lingxi arrived at the palace at almost the same time. They first went to Tian'anju to greet the old lady, and then went to Qingyouyuan to visit the princess, and then they arrived at Shuilinglong's Moheyuan together.

Shui Linglong picked up the tea cup and glanced at Shui Lingxi. She found that Shui Lingxi was dressed in a fancy dress, so she couldn't help but squint her eyes: "Did the second sister just come from Pingnan Hou Mansion today?" Dressed like this grand? Even at Bingbing's birthday party, Shui Lingxi didn't dress so beautifully!

Shui Lingxi's face changed slightly and she smiled unnaturally: "I came directly from home. How did eldest sister think about what my grandmother asked me to mention?"

Shui Linglong smiled lightly and said, "I can't help Minyu with anything. As for Fifth Sister, it's good for her to be my companion here."

She doesn't care what Shui Minyu does! She is also happy for Shui Lingqing to stay in the palace! After all, she can go here often on the pretext of visiting Shui Lingqing! Shui Lingxi deliberately showed an embarrassed look: "I can understand that the eldest sister has the difficulties of the eldest sister. I will talk to my grandmother later."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows. Was Shui Lingxi's head caught in the door?

Bingbing wanted to have a personal conversation with Shui Linglong, but Shui Linglong was stuck here and she couldn't say anything, so she stood up and left: "I'm leaving. I'll see you again when I have time."

Shui Linglong stood up and said, "I'll see you off." Then she looked at Shui Lingxi and asked, "Shall my second sister come with you?"

Shui Lingxi secretly scolded Shui Linglong for being stingy. She was driving her away before her **** was even hot from sitting on it? The most important thing is that she has not yet met Zhuge Yu, so she is unwilling to do so!

Shui Lingxi thought for a while, then suddenly held her belly and said, "I...I seem to have a bad stomach. I want to borrow your clean room for use. You can send the Crown Princess out of the house first. I will leave by myself later when I am done." ”

Bingbing glanced at Shui Lingxi with disdain and said to Shui Linglong: "You don't need to send me off. You still have guests, so I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord. Let's reminisce about the past and have a long future."

Shui Lingxi was so angry that her teeth itched, but because of the situation, she couldn't get angry.
