First Concubine

Chapter 155 The Grandpa Arrives (2)

After bidding farewell to the old lady, Qin Fangyi went to Mohe Courtyard again. The sun was good today. Shui Linglong ordered people to place a soft couch, a round table and some sweet snacks under the peach tree in the backyard, and she held Duoduo and fed it small pieces of meat. Son. Duoduo grew a whole circle, filling Shui Linglong's arms to the full. Zhi Fan and Ye Mao also picked up the pieces of meat and rushed to stuff them into Duo Duo's mouth.

"Duoduo, is it delicious?" Shui Linglong narrowed her eyes into two crescent moons and asked.

Zhifan touched Duoduo's warm little head and said seriously: "Duoduo is getting bigger and bigger. If you are afraid of accidentally bumping into someone, you should put it in a slave's house to raise it."

Shui Linglong shook her head: "No, the main house is so big, where is there no place for it to rest?"

Duoduo yelled "Aoao" twice, seeming to agree.

At this time, Mother Zhong finished her work in the small kitchen and came over with an anxious look on her face: "Oh my god! Miss, how can you stand up to the wind? If you are sick, the prince should be angry with you again!" Then she looked towards Zhi Fan and Ye Mao, "You two are also fooling around, don't you know how to stop me!"

Ye Mao scratched his head and smiled naively: "I'm not cold." So the eldest lady should not be cold either!

Zhi Fan shrank his neck angrily. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to persuade her, but besides the Crown Prince and Mother Zhong, who could persuade the eldest lady to do so?

Shui Linglong was originally afraid of the cold, but she couldn't get it these days. The sun was really bright today, so she wanted to bask in the sun. Shui Linglong said kindly, "You won't get sick if you get some sunshine."

Mother Zhong refused. She had to give her all her loyalty even though she risked being rejected by the eldest lady. She said angrily: "No! I can rely on you for anything. You have to listen to me on this matter! You are not cold, little prince." It’s cold too!”

“Little persimmons are not cold!” Shui Linglong joked slowly, holding a piece of persimmon in her hand.

 But Zhong’s mother’s attitude was very firm. Shui Linglong always respected her, so she obeyed her. As soon as the front foot entered the house, the back foot Qin Fangyi came. Shui Linglong met Qin Fangyi in the Nuan Pavilion. The two of them were sitting on the edge of the kang with smiles on their faces, as if they were very affectionate.

Qin Fangyi kept true to her profession: "Oh! Let's talk about Minhui. Your third sister has gone too far. He is your father's son after all. How can he disobey his father and give up his studies and go into business? Even if he wants to go into business, he has to do it. What's the point of staying in the capital and traveling to Quanzhou or Jiangnan? It's not only the Shangshu Mansion, but also your sister who is embarrassed!"

Qin Fangyi doesn't care about Shui Minhui's future. She only cares about two things. First, how much family property will Shui Minhui get if she leaves? Second, whether the old lady can let Shui Minhui go, and if she can't let him go, will she be mad to death?

Shui Linglong drank the rose water in her hand, while Qin Fangyi continued to mumble alone: ​​"Your third sister asked Governor Jiang to talk about the matter, and I was confused. Is it great that she married the governor? She didn't earn much respect for her mother's family, but she started to It's suppressing my mother's family's momentum! Why did I... raise such a daughter?" After saying this, his greedy eyes glanced at the rare jewelry on the Duobao grid.

Shui Linglong pretended not to see it, and said calmly: "Mom, don't worry, I believe my father can handle it properly. Blood is thicker than water. Minhui no longer wants to become an official, and he can't bear the cold." Xin, what do you think? "There is no way to use the power of the palace to overpower Governor Jiang!

Qin Fangyi hit a soft nail and curled her lips unwillingly. If she had known earlier, she should have killed this girl! Or, he is trying to fawn over this girl! As a result, she didn't pay attention to both ends, and she couldn't move up or down. She was worse than a little Shui Lingqing! Qin Fangyi almost broke her silver teeth and said with a smile: "I heard that your fourth sister has been a little frustrated in the palace recently. Long live the Lord has not been to her Yuehua Palace for many days. She didn't listen to me when she was at the height of the sun. I advise you to fall out of favor now! According to me, things take turns, and everyone has to stand at the top, and the possibility of falling off the cliff cannot be ruled out. Keeping a line in life is equivalent to giving yourself the capital to save your life, Linglong Do you think mother is right?"

This is to tell Shui Linglong that when she asked Shui Lingyue for help, Shui Lingyue ignored her with her eyes high. Now that Shui Lingyue has fallen to the bottom, she will not help Shui Lingyue. Shui Linglong is very favored now, but can Shui Linglong guarantee that she will be so favored for the rest of her life? If you fall out of favor, Shangshufu will be your only supporter, so Shui Linglong, you should rely on me now! Unfortunately, after experiencing the painful lessons of her previous life, Shui Linglong knew that Qin Fangyi and Shui Hangge were like blood-sucking leeches that could only get in but not get out! When you are prosperous, they will try to fawn over you in every possible way to get benefits. Once you fail, they will do nothing but cut ties with you! Shui Linglong touched her belly and said with a faint smile: "Mother is right. Fourth sister... indeed deserves it!" You deserve it too! Shui Lingxi deserves it even more!

Qin Fangyi became so angry that she wanted to slap him in the face! But both Zhifan and Ye Mao stared at her eagerly. She didn't have the confidence to even yell out loudly, especially when she thought of the crazy prince who even dared to tie explosives to his body. It was not difficult for her to deduce that if she was injured What kind of revenge will Shui Linglong get?

 Qin Fangyi winked at Shui Lingqing. Shui Lingqing is disgusted with this situation. What the eldest sister wants to do is her business. You used to treat her badly and now you want to take advantage of her. Isn't it true that the eldest sister owed you in her previous life? Shui Lingqing bit her lip, and for the first time in her life she disobeyed her aunt's mother's wishes: "Sister, when will you have a baby? Is it okay this year?"

 Qin Fangyi was so angry that she fell backwards!

After Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingqing left, Mother Zhong sneered disdainfully: "It's all Madam's money you spent. You really think of yourself as your mistress!"

Shui Linglong was too lazy to be angry with Qin Fangyi, so she went back to the bedroom and planned to take a nap. Her biggest reaction to pregnancy this time was not vomiting, but lethargy, so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.

Zhifan took off her shoes and underskirt for her, and whispered: "I have inquired, it seems that the person who was pregnant with twins was the prince's biological mother. But who is the biological mother, and what happened to the prince's sister? Amber doesn’t know.”

Shui Linglong was shocked, Zhuge Yu was actually one of the twins of the year? What about my sister? Where have you gone? Did he die like Zhuge Yan?

 “What qualifications does a man who abandons his husband and son have to live in the world?”

 “I really hate being left behind…”

These are what Zhuge Yu said when he was extremely excited. Could it be that Zhuge Yu's biological mother didn't die, or his sister didn't die either, but her biological mother took her sister away and abandoned him? But is this also the reason for birthdays? Afraid of thinking of his sister and biological mother. If that was the case, then leaving Guo Yan halfway would be a huge blow to him. Shui Linglong grabbed the lapel of her chest. At this moment, she really felt that she had done something wrong. Not in a high mood, Shui Linglong turned over and fell on the bed. Unexpectedly, before she could close her eyes, she heard Ye Mao announcing outside the door that Zhuge Xi was here!

Bai Ju looked at Zhuge Xi's curling back, widened her eyes and said, "This is the second time that the eldest aunt is visiting the crown prince. The prince loves the crown prince, and the old lady and the eldest aunt also favor the crown prince. The second young lady also loves the crown prince. But there is no such treatment! Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant again, her position in the palace... is really stable!"

Bai Mei smiled coldly: "So what if there are children? Didn't the princess also give birth to a son and a daughter? As a result, the old lady rushed as soon as she wanted, and the prince and the eldest aunt said 'no'?"

Bai Ju frowned: "You... just have a problem with the Crown Princess, right?"

Of course she has some opinions. The last time Hongzhu caused trouble, the imperial concubine used her as a raft to beat up the servants in the yard. She is still angry! But this was not the reason for her to continue to wait and see. She felt that the princess's matter... was not over! Bai Mei smiled: "No objection!"

Bai Ju pushed her shoulder and said earnestly: "We entered the house at about the same time, I'm stupid, you helped me a lot, I remember it in my heart, but this time you really can't see me clearly. . Previously we suspected that the Crown Princess had fallen out of favor, but as a result, the Crown Prince carried the Crown Princess into the courtyard in a grand manner, which made everyone see clearly the status of the Crown Princess in his heart. As long as Anjun was there, she would never come back. The king wants to become an official in the court, but the second lady can't afford to make big waves. Now all the winds in the palace are blowing towards the pregnant princess. Even the Leng family didn't come to ask for justice for the princess. It's really true. Yes, you should quickly show your loyalty to the Crown Princess!"

"Hmph!" Bai Mei weighed the oranges in her hand and said disapprovingly, "It is precisely because the Leng family did not come to make trouble that I felt that there was something fishy about the princess! The Leng family is no worse than the Zhuge family, why should my daughter be kicked out? They left the husband's house and they didn't even show their anger? "

"This..." Bai Ju thought Bai Mei's words... were not unreasonable! She paused, blinked and said, "But the old lady's attitude is so determined..."

Bai Mei raised her eyebrows and snorted: "Don't forget, the man is always the one who calls the shots in this house!"

"Man? Which man in the house dares to comment on the old lady's decision? Not to mention the prince, not even the prince." As he spoke, Bai Ju's pupils shrank and he looked at Bai Mei in disbelief, "You Refers--"

 Bai Mei nodded: "Just watch! If that person also protects the Crown Princess, I will kowtow to the Crown Princess and surrender!"

Shui Linglong was about to put on her shoes and go to the ground. Zhuge Xi held her down and said, "Those who are pregnant, don't pay attention to these false courtesy. Sit down! I will talk for a while and then leave."

Shui Linglong no longer insisted and ordered Zhi Fan to serve tea and cakes. Then she smiled and said, "Are you relieved to leave Brother Ji and Brother Xin at home?"

"I'm worried! Don't make me feel guilty!" Zhuge Xi scolded Linglong Shui. Not to mention, even though he only left for a while, his mind was filled with the smiling faces of the two children, which was heartbreaking!

Shui Linglong leaned on the soft pillow embroidered with vermilion jasmine, smiling lightly. She understood Zhuge Xi's feelings at this time, and she also looked forward to the healthy arrival of the little life in her belly.

Zhuge Xi sighed: "You got pregnant immediately after setting up a small kitchen. It can be seen that the princess did do something before! Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so you and Yu'er won't have to wait five years like me and your brother-in-law!"

Shui Linglong smiled happily: "Thank you, eldest sister, for worrying about me."

Zhuge Xi waved his hand: "If one family doesn't talk to each other, how can you have a stable pregnancy? Don't be like Leng Wei!"

Shui Linglong blushed slightly and said softly: "My husband said there is no problem."

Zhuge Xi looked at this once green and tender face, but now it gradually gained a bit of charm, especially those pair of gleaming autumn eyes, like the setting sun shining on the thin ice, reflecting a seductive coldness. It is really beautiful. Things, in one or two years, I don’t know how gorgeous they will be!

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Shui Linglong found Zhuge Xi staring at her in a daze and asked softly.

Zhuge Xi regained consciousness: "Oh, it's nothing. Didn't you enter the palace last time? Did the queen talk to you about the princess?"

Turning to the main topic, Shui Linglong ran away a lot. She sat up straight and told Zhuge Xi the conversation with the Queen, including the Queen's kindness and power, very clearly word for word.

After hearing this, Zhuge Xi broke into a cold sweat on his forehead: "You are so brave, you dare to play tricks on her like that! You are not afraid of her treating you!"

 What does “Cherish the blessings when you are in the midst of blessings”? Isn't this an insinuation that the queen's cousin is not blessed even though she is blessed?

Shui Linglong smiled slightly and said lightly: "The Queen has been able to sit on the throne for many years because of the word 'stable'. The palace is now the prince's solid backing. Even for the prince's great cause, the queen will not give me any help." Jizizi, and I am not feeling well in the Zhen concubine palace, the queen specially sent Zhang Yuanfang to diagnose me. This kind of comforting and coaxing attitude is not unobvious. "

Zhuge Xi's eyes gradually darkened: "It doesn't feel like... the Queen's style. I have gotten along with the Queen's aunt quite a lot, and I know her character fairly well. She usually doesn't do things like thunder and rain... made!"

Shui Linglong's pupils moved from side to side, and she said cautiously: "Sister, I suspect that the Queen's question is just a formality."

Zhuge Xi’s long eyelashes trembled and his expression became solemn: “What…mean?”

Shui Linglong said sternly: "What I mean is that the Queen does not want to interfere with the affairs of the Prince's Palace and the Leng Family. The Queen is angry because she is just annoyed by my boring gourd-like attitude. She definitely does not really want to use me as a breakthrough for the reconciliation of Father and Princess. "This is a conclusion based on the memories of his previous life. Yun Li has always wanted to win over the Leng family. Unfortunately, Leng Chengkun and Leng Yixuan are both incompetent and will not participate in the struggle for imperial power, even if Leng Chengkun is the queen. cousin. In this life, the situation remains the same. It is impossible for the queen to fail to see that one is the Leng family who cannot be used for her own purposes, and the other is the Zhuge family who fully supports the prince. The queen is stupid to offend the latter.

"Going through the motions? Someone who can make the Queen go through the motions..." Zhuge Xi covered his lips with one hand and stared with almond-shaped eyes, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Shui Linglong nodded, looking away from Zhuge Xi's face and looking at the curtain at the foot of the bed: "The emperor was attracted by the Leng family's determination not to participate in the struggle for imperial power, so he proposed the marriage of the Leng family's daughter to Kashgar. Qing, if not, it would be easy for an ambitious family and a nation that believes in gods to unite to become independent. "Maybe there are other reasons, but she... has no evidence!

Zhuge Xi nodded thoughtfully: "It seems...that's the truth."

Shui Linglong added: "Leng Wei was wronged at the Yao family back then. I heard that Mrs. Leng came to the house and had a big quarrel with Mrs. Yao. It can be seen that the Leng family also protects their shortcomings. But this time they didn't show any expression at all. This is not too much. Is it weird? "There is no evidence that Leng Wei was framed by Leng Youru one after another. Since she did not disclose it to anyone except Zhifan, the relationship between the Leng family and Leng Youru should not be tense.

Zhuge Xi said uncertainly: "The princess has indeed gone too far this time. Do they know they are in the wrong?"

Shui Linglong pouted and said, "Don't Leng Wei take the blame for that?" No matter who was the culprit, in everyone's eyes it was Leng Wei who plotted against Yao Cheng. Wasn't Mrs. Leng also picky about the Yao family?

Zhuge Xi stopped talking. Shui Linglong looked at her and said tentatively: "Sister, does our Zhuge family still have a secret master?" The person on the surface is Zhuge Liuyun, but secretly...

 Zhuge Xi seemed to have been touched by some horrifying memory, and his face instantly turned pale...

 Zhuge Yu went to the military aircraft after going down to court. Before leaving, he patted Prince An on the arm and said, "Now is not the best time to find a position for you. I will recommend her to the emperor when the princess's matter is completely resolved."

Prince An was overjoyed. It seemed that he had done the right thing about Bai Fumei! Sure enough, as long as he pleases the Crown Princess, his career will not be hopeless!

 “Thank you, brother!”

Zhuge Yu's expression was still cold and awe-inspiring: "The minister of the Ministry of Rites has asked for another month's leave. You are busy doing things. If you have more political achievements, the emperor will pass it faster."

"I remember." Prince An's face was filled with a knowing smile. He didn't know what he thought of. His smile faded, but he was still happy. "I and Prince Cheng have not known each other before, but we have a good relationship now." Well, he has a new concubine and invites us to come over for a drink, brother, let’s join him!”

Zhuge Yu condensed his eyes and gave him a meaningful look: "No, you can go alone. I have other things to do. Remember to come back early. My younger siblings have just entered the house and are helping my second aunt with the general affairs. They are also very **** their hearts."

Prince An was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Well, I have a sense of propriety and won't do anything random!"

Zhuge Yu patted his shoulder again, turned around and got into the carriage. It was time for dinner when he arrived at Moheyuan, and he was in a hurry on the way, fearing that she would be hungry waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the main room, Shui Linglong came up to him with a smile, and stretched out her slender green fingers to unbutton the buttons of his court clothes: "Is there a lot to do today? Is it hard?" Her tone... was extremely gentle!

Zhuge Yu hugged Shui Linglong and kissed her hard, as if he didn't believe that this virtuous and beautiful wife was his Linglong. He looked at her again and then said, "It's not hard work, we just discussed the transportation." It is confirmed that Guo Yan will **** the drought prevention materials to Kashgar, and they will be leaving in the next few days. How are you feeling today? "

Shui Linglong replied: "I just vomited once after lunch break, and I don't feel any discomfort at other times."

 Zhuge Yu breathed a sigh of relief! Shui Linglong unbuttoned his buttons and unbuttoned his belt. He raised his arms in cooperation and looked at the soft and beautiful her: "Are you so happy today?"
