First Concubine

Chapter 164 Ready to move (2)

Shui Linglong smiled and said nothing, and Mrs. Zhen showed a hint of loneliness: "To put it bluntly, I brought a pair of children to the capital, which is no different from living as a widow. The prince is determined to serve the court. In the future, we, mother and son, will probably all be here. Take root in the capital." After saying this, there was moisture in his eyes.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows. After the diligence card, she played the sympathy card. What kind of trouble did Zhen want to make?

Mrs. Zhen took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said with some embarrassment: "I made you laugh! Let's get back to business. It's the princess's birthday in a few days. What the old man meant is that we haven't had guests in the house for a long time, so we took the opportunity to have some fun, but Since it’s not the whole year, we don’t want to be too extravagant. Just ask everyone to hand over their handkerchiefs and come and gather together. You know, I have only come to the capital for a short time and I don’t know many people. How can I hand over handkerchiefs to others? , let me ask you, do you have anyone who wants to post?”

Shui Linglong blinked and raised a just right smile on her lips: "Has the second aunt asked the princess about it?"

Zhen's smile froze: "I plan to ask the princess later." Seeing that Shui Linglong didn't respond, she added, "I was going to find the princess. You are close here, so I came over first. "

Shui Linglong smiled calmly and said: "I see, then Second Aunt, please go back as soon as possible. If it's later, I'm afraid the prince and princess will have to rest."

 The guy who doesn’t have enough food and salt! Zhen took a deep breath and left Mo Heyuan with a smile on her face.

As soon as she left, Shui Linglong’s smile faded. Zhen's wishful thinking was really good. First she showed that she was hard-working, then she said that she was widowed and lonely, and then she was ranked in front of the princess. There were only two central thoughts: First, I am the master of the house, you You can raise your baby with peace of mind; secondly, there are two daughters-in-law in the royal family. As long as you and I work together to isolate the princess, you will be the mistress in the future.

 In the final analysis, if Mrs. Zhen wants to hold on to the power of Zhongfu for a long time, she must coax Shui Linglong to calm down and isolate the princess so that she cannot stand up! It's a pity that she calculated the twists and turns in the house correctly, but she failed to calculate the exquisite idea. No matter how ferocious the poisonous snake is, it has no room for resistance when it encounters the snake catcher and the snake fork. Now Leng Youru was restrained by the old man with the snake fork, and the old man's meaning is very obvious, that is, peaceful coexistence! Shui Linglong was stupid to hit the old man's gun!

Zhi Fan came over and removed Zhen's bowl, and said hesitantly: "Miss, the second lady went to the study in the outer courtyard to find the old man. When she came out, her face was full of anger, and she didn't know what she talked about with the old man."

Shui Linglong drank the warm water in the cup: "People's hearts are not like snakes swallowing elephants. She was quite content with the status quo at first, but now she is just afraid of greed. But she is not a serious wife. How can the old man spoil her?" Has she heard from Amber?"

Zhifan nodded: "Hubo said that the prince was originally engaged to Miss Lin from Kashgar Qing. On the wedding day at the end of spring last year, Miss Lin and the Fourth Miss were chatting in the room together, but the Fourth Miss drank too much and stumbled. When they got to the bathtub, Miss Lin was afraid that she would fall into the pool drunk, so she quickly followed her to take a look. As a result... the fourth lady accidentally knocked Miss Lin into the hot pool. "

Shui Linglong's eyes darkened: "Zhuge Shu was only thirteen years old last year, why did he drink so much wine?"

Zhi Fan’s eyes flashed and he didn’t answer! Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows and said, "Does this have something to do with Prince An's entry into the capital? Did he escape because he was afraid of taking responsibility?" If this is the case, Kashgar Qing and the others will not be able to go back.

Zhifan replied: "It should be! The clan leader got angry with the boss and said that he would let the fourth lady take care of Miss Lin's life. The old lady pretended to be sick and dragged the fourth lady to wait in front of her to buy some time for the prince. The county. Wang was originally doing nothing in Kashgar Qingting, but he suddenly made a great contribution in that melee. However, the third young master who was originally eagerly anticipated by the whole clan did not get anything. Afterwards, Long live the Lord named the second young master as the county king. The prince immediately handed over the instructions to serve the imperial court, and said that he would bring his biological mother and sister to the capital, and he agreed. "

 Wang Anjun Wang’s trick of secretly changing the concept is very good! The emperor didn't know what Zhuge Shu was doing. He thought it was normal for a man to wander around and take care of his family, so he approved Prince An's surrender with a stroke of his pen. In fact, the emperor didn't care whether Prince An brought his biological mother or his younger sister. Or maybe it was his wife. The emperor only wanted to use this person, but he made a batch of memorials, which invisibly gave Zhuge Shu a protective umbrella. If Zhuge Shu did not enter the capital, Prince An would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"The prince is smart." Shui Linglong smiled: "This reminds me of a saying, a tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. The prince does things in a high-profile manner and lives in a low-key manner. As a concubine, he has come to today step by step. It is not like The second wife is so easy to be proud and complacent, she is indeed a talented person. No wonder Dong Jialin would rather be a concubine than to become his woman. It's just a pity that Miss Lin's wife died unexpectedly after being married to her."

Before the words "ignorant" came out, a thought suddenly flashed through Shui Linglong's mind. Something went wrong on the night when Qiao Hui and Prince An were getting married. The consummation ceremony was only completed the next day, and the saboteur was still Zhuge Shu.

Are these... a coincidence?

While thinking about it, Ye Mao pushed the door open and walked in: "Miss! The princess is sick!"

"What? The princess is sick? Is it serious?" Qiao Hui put down the pen in her hand and asked Xiu'er with wide eyes.

Xiu'er went to the dining room to get supper. When she heard the news, she rushed back to report the news. She was still panting: "It seems to be quite serious. Even the old lady and the prince were alarmed. Second Young Madam, should we go and have a look?" ?”

Qiao Hui took the wet handkerchief and cleaned her hands: "Have the Crown Princess and the Second Lady gone?"

Xiu'er swallowed her saliva and said: "The second lady left Xianglan Courtyard very early and never returned. I don't know if she went to the main courtyard. However, the Crown Princess went towards the main courtyard after hearing the news. "

 Qiao Hui changed into a set of plain clothes and took off the gold hairpin on her head: "Where is the prince? I asked him to come with me."

Xiuer thought for a while and said, "It seems to be in Qinghuixuan."

Prince Anjun discusses government affairs with the old man in the study room in the outer courtyard every night. Is he making an exception today? Qiao Hui didn't think much, glanced at the food box in Xiu'er's hand, and said as she walked out the door: "You guys share the midnight snack."

Xiuer felt blessed, looked at the pale Qiao Hui, and said with concern: "I will make you a cup of brown sugar water. You can drink it before you go!"

Qiao Hui touched her slightly aching belly. The amount she had received this month was not much, just a little bit, but the pain was severe. She shook her head: "No, I'll drink it when I get back."

The February night wind was so cold that it felt like a knife cutting her face. Qiao Hui shivered and continued to move forward. Passing through the hanging flower door and walking around the corridor is Prince An's room. A burst of laughter came, and Qiao Hui's footsteps stopped. It was the voice of Prince An.

"Why are you trying to fight me? Isn't the food in your bowl delicious?" Prince An put a piece of fish meat that he was going to eat into Zhuge Shu's mouth. Zhuge Shu smiled with satisfaction, "The food in my second brother's bowl is not delicious." fragrant!"

Prince An patted her head lovingly: "Eat more dinner and try to eat less late-night snacks, so that you can stay in good health. Do you understand?"

Zhuge Shu pursed her red lips and said, "But you can only have late night snacks with your second brother! Dinner and other things are all at your table, grandpa, and we, grandma, are at the same table. You can't even see it!"

These words made King An chuckle again: "Eat, just eat, it depends on what people do? Can't you eat if you can't see me?"

 Zhuge Shu nodded seriously: "Yes!"

Prince An was stunned for a moment, with strange emotions rolling out of his heart, but in the end he did not dare to think deeply. He only smiled and said, "How will you eat when you get married?"

Zhuge Shu threw herself into his arms and burst into tears. King An was at a loss, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about getting married. You are still young. We won't mention it until you have had enough fun."

 Seeing this, Qiao Hui couldn't stand it anymore. Men and women were not seated at the same table when they were seven years old. She and her two brothers had no physical contact since they were sensible. How old is Zhuge Shu? Fourteen! How could you... eat your brother's chopsticks and still cry in his arms? Isn't this a privilege that she only has as a wife? Qiao Hui felt sour in her heart. She bit her lip and said, "Ms., are you there? The princess is sick, and I would like to ask you to come with her to see her."

When entering the room, Zhuge Shu was already sitting upright. Qiao Hui looked at Zhuge Shu with a smile: "Fourth sister is here too!"

Zhuge Shu endured the discomfort, stood up and saluted Qiao Hui: "Second sister-in-law."

Qiao Hui pretended not to see her red eyes and said gently: "Mr. sir, let's go see the princess."

Prince An showed a faint smile: "Okay." He patted Zhuge Shu on the shoulder again, "Are you going with us, or are you staying to eat by yourself?"

Before Zhuge Shu could speak, Qiao Hui said softly: "Fourth sister is eating."

 Sickness came like a mountain, and Leng Youru was really unconscious this time. In Zhuge Yu's memory, Leng Youru was in excellent health, and he could handle minor illnesses and disasters on his own without taking medicine. But now, she was lying quietly in Zhuge Liuyun's arms, and her once cold face gradually turned pale, reminding her of a candle that was about to burn out, and she didn't know when the sparks would be extinguished.

Zhuge Xiaotian glanced at Zhuge Liuyun, who looked downcast, and Zhen Shi, who was crying so hard, and then looked at Zhuge Yu, who looked complicated, and frowned: "How is it?"

Zhuge Yu sighed quietly: "I have lost the will to survive."

Zhuge Liuyun's heart twitched hard and his mouth opened in disbelief.

They lived so hard in the past because they wanted revenge, but now everyone has reaped their own happiness. Zhuge Xi and Yao Chenghe will have a pair of sons as before, and Zhuge Yu and Shui Linglong, Qin Se Harmony, have given birth to a new life. It was Zhuge Liuyun who had Zhaoyun as a substitute to remember his former love. She was sterilized and lost her son. What else did Leng Youru have who was deprived of the chance of revenge? Since the palace is as cold as hell, why did she stay in the palace where everyone wanted to see her, while abandoning Yan'er who was waiting for her embrace underground?

Zhuge Liuyun's arm holding Leng Youru was trembling slightly, and his voice was also trembling uncontrollably. Even he himself didn't know what was going on: "Is there no hope?"

An indistinguishable glint flashed in Zhuge Yu's eyes: "When a person wants to die, even the gods can't save her, let alone she is already suffering from such a severe cold!"

Shui Linglong glanced at Zhuge Yu's gloomy face with solemn gaze, but said nothing. She could feel that Zhuge Yu had feelings for the princess, otherwise he would not tolerate the princess's mistakes again and again. And when he watched the princess hurt him again and again, he felt uncomfortable inside, right? These people either sympathized with the princess's early experiences, or lamented the disasters Zhuge Xi and her suffered, but who really took a look at Zhuge Yu? Look at how uncomfortable he is, who was abandoned by his biological mother at the age of three and has been plotted by his aunt for many years. Shui Linglong held Zhuge Yu's tight hand. Zhuge Yu's eyes moved and he held hers instead.

Mrs. Zhen sobbed and cried: "Oh, what should I do? I was discussing celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday this morning, saying that she had to have a good birthday this year. Why did my sister-in-law just..."

"Shut up! You're breathing well, why are you howling?" Zhuge Xiaotian shouted angrily, and Zhen was so frightened that she quickly shut up. She knew what the old lady was angry about. It wasn't her wailing words, but what happened in the afternoon.

She said to the old man: "Miss Dong Jia was so angry that the Crown Princess hit the wall and suffered a severe head injury. Ming'er also went to visit with good intentions. Unfortunately, there was no outsider in the house that day. No, Lone Man With widows living in the same room, many things are unclear. Although Miss Dong Jia's parents are dead, her brother is very promising. He tried to understand the Yuan Dynasty last autumn, and he is aiming for the top spot this year. If it weren't for us. We have decided to get married in Suchenghou Mansion first, Miss Dong Jia and Ming'er are truly a match made in heaven!"

Unexpectedly, the old man scolded her and said, "You don't have a good son, so you let the two of them have a secret love, and you have the nerve to say it was just a coincidence? Is Qiao Hui sick, lame or something, and can't serve her?" Your son? You thought of taking a concubine for your son without thinking! Do you think the Zhuge family is the only one here in Kashgar? You are a fool!" After recalling, Mrs. Zhen looked at Zhuge Yu and looked at him. I briefly saw the shadow of that person, and my headache became even more intense!

Not long after, Prince An and Qiao Hui also came. They greeted the elders first, and Zhuge Liuyun's voice, which seemed far away but still near, slowly sounded: "You guys go back!"

 After leaving the main courtyard, Zhuge Xiaotian stopped and looked at the sky. Leng Youru must not have anything to do now. Putting aside his inner personal feelings, there will be a disaster in the palace, and Leng Youru may be the one to stop it...

Shui Linglong glanced back at Zhuge Xiaotian and whispered to Zhuge Yu: "You go back first, and I will say good night to grandpa."

Zhuge Yu was in a bad mood, he frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally gave in to her gentle smile.

Shui Linglong turned around and walked to Zhuge Xiaotian, and bowed politely: "Grandpa."

Zhuge Xiaotian looked at her with his cold, iron-like eyes, and Shui Linglong felt a vast military power rushing toward her face. The soft sound of wind beside her ears suddenly sounded like flying sand and rocks, wasting her slender body. She held her bare hands to withstand the pressure that Zhuge Xiaotian would burst out from time to time. An imperceptible light flashed across Zhuge Xiaotian's eyes, and then he said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Shui Linglong said: "When I was a child, I often heard my mother say that when I got sick, I would lose my temper and would not eat or take medicine, so the disease would not be cured. So every time she spent hundreds of dollars just to coax me to take medicine and eat. A hair, but I never buy it. Now that I am about to become a mother, I can understand my mother's loving heart. I think the princess will understand your painstaking efforts one day."

 The wind, horse and cow are irrelevant! This girl chirped a lot of fundamentals...fundamentals... An idea flashed in Zhuge Xiaotian's mind, and his probing eyes turned to Shui Linglong.

Shui Linglong raised her head and smiled: "Good night, grandpa."

"Well, take a rest early!" After saying seriously, Zhuge Xiaotian turned around and disappeared into the boundless night with a meteoric stride.

Back at Mohe Courtyard, Zhuge Yu finished washing and lay down on the bed. Shui Linglong lay beside him and hugged him from behind. Zhuge Yu didn't make a sound or move. Shui Linglong didn't know when Zhuge Yu's knot in his heart would be opened. Whenever he felt angry, he would feel stuffy in his stomach. Today, he just managed to fulfill his promise before sleeping in the bedroom, otherwise he would definitely want to lock himself in the study again. This is a bad habit!

“Zhuge Yu.” Shui Linglong pressed her face against his back and called softly.

Zhuge Yu ignored her. Shui Linglong propped herself up on her elbows, picked up his shiny black hair and swept it across his face. She smiled lightly and said, "Mr.

Zhuge Yu's closed eyelids moved, but he remained silent.

Shui Linglong's smile faded and she wanted to scold him. You must know that even though she always reminded herself to respect him, her temper was also terrible! This thought circulated in his mind, and when he recalled how pitifully he sat alone at the gate waiting for his mother when he was a child, his anger disappeared.

 Children who lack maternal love, huh? Then she must be gentle! Shui Linglong touched her arm with her bare hands, softly, like a feather scratching her arm, and leaned over to place a gentle kiss on his face: "Xiao Yu."

This time he moved his lips, but... there was still no sound!

Shui Linglong turned her beautiful eyes and climbed onto Zhuge Yu's body to sit on her. Then she forced him to turn his face, which was pretending to be asleep, and narrowed her eyes: "Pay attention to me! There's also little persimmon!"

 Zhuge Yu... just didn't respond! Shui Linglong hit him on the head cruelly. Don't tell me, she finally reacted. Zhuge Yu opened her eyes with admiration, and there was still anger in her eyes that could not be dispelled in time. For fear of scaring her, she quickly turned away and sighed: "It's very late, don't make trouble, go to sleep." Bar."

Shui Linglong turned over in frustration and lay on the inside of the bed, which was "a thousand and eighty thousand miles away" from him. Zhuge Yu sighed quietly, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her petite body into his arms. Shui Linglong kicked him back!

This kick did not use much force, but it happened to hit the delicate part of the thigh, which was painful. But remembering that she was counting the days in Zhuangzi waiting for Shui Hangge to come see her, he felt that she was a child who lacked father's love, so he had to be tolerant. He hugged her tightly, kissed her snow-white neck, and explained: "I'm not angry with you. Don't think too much about it. Be good and go to sleep."
