First Concubine

Chapter 183 The mysterious visitor (4)

Xiaohan nodded solemnly: "I definitely saw it! I promise by patting my chest! She looks very thin and tall! Uh... not particularly tall! Anyway, a bit taller than the third princess! She has a pointed chin and big eyes..."

 The tall and thin person must not be Jin Shanggong, that woman is as fat as a pig! Guo Yan waved his hand: "Apart from this, do you have any other discoveries?"

 The blood in the pit? Xiaohan licked his mouth: "No!" The general must not let the general discover that the animal trap he made can't trap the little beast!

Guo Yan closed his eyes weakly: "Go back home!"

 Xiaohan smiled and passed the test!

But as soon as Guo Yan left Mo Heyuan, Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in. It was hot in summer and he was covered in sweat from running around. Zhi Fan didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his face, and only gasped: "Miss! My slave… I asked about it…”

“Drink some water first.” Shui Linglong pointed to the tea set on the table.

Zhi Fan's heart moved, and he poured herbal tea, drank two large cups, and then said, "I went to the second entrance and asked Mother Zhang. Mother Zhang said that a certain sedan chair was carried directly in." Mansion, she didn’t see clearly who was sitting inside.”

Mother Zhang is the old mother at the second door. She has been the concierge since the early days of the palace. She has no other skills, but she always does this strictly. How could she let someone who can't see her face be allowed to do so? People enter the palace? Shui Linglong twisted her eyebrows: "Who is leading the way?"

 “Uncle Yu!” Zhi Fan replied.

"So, it's the prince's sedan!" Shui Linglong's first reaction was that the prince carried the aunt, but she quickly denied this speculation. The aunt's sedan could not go to the main entrance, even if it was the concubine rewarded by the emperor, she could only go Side door, so I exclude my aunt. So, maybe it's a guest? Shui Linglong asked again: "Where was it carried?"

“The courtyard in front of my eldest aunt when she left the pavilion was Qingya Courtyard. The servant caught up with the sedan and happened to see the prince entering Qingya Courtyard from a distance.”

 In all likelihood, it was Zhuge Xi who came back, but he was hiding from the others. Shui Linglong thought of Sister Hui. The relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter was always delicate, and Mrs. Yao was protective of her little one. It was not impossible for her to blush. While thinking about it, Little Persimmon started to make trouble again, kicking Shui Linglong several times until Shui Linglong wanted to pee. Shui Linglong stood up and started walking in the room.

Zhi Fan looked at Shui Linglong's frown and knew that little persimmon was acting up again. Zhi Fan remembered Leng Youru's previous instructions and suggested: "Miss, please go and ask Doctor Hu to come and take a look! The princess said that if the child moves too much, it should be taken seriously."

Shui Linglong was actually a little puzzled. The fetal movements were not so severe in her two pregnancies: "It's hard work for you, so tell Ye Mao to go!"

"Okay!" Zhi Fan responded with a smile. The eldest lady was becoming more and more considerate of her. Does this mean that her efforts were rewarded?

About two-quarters of an hour later, Ye Mao opened the curtain and came in panting: "Miss... Doctor Hu... Doctor Hu has gone to Qingya Courtyard!"

Shui Linglong was startled, Zhuge Xi...is ill?

In the Bauhinia Courtyard, Dong Jialin had a chat with Prince An and was waiting for him to take a bath: "Prince, I heard that a guest came to the house and stayed in the yard of my aunt. Could it be... Did my aunt secretly return to her parents’ home? Is Master Yao treating her badly?”

Needless to say, when the sedan entered through the gate, he happened to be returning from a social gathering. The breeze blew and the curtains were lifted, and he could see the appearance of that person clearly... Prince An's eyes flashed, and he leaned lazily in her arms. , turned his head and kissed her charming scenery, and said: "Let's not get involved in the eldest family's affairs! It's not our turn to comment on the eldest sister."

Dong Jialin's eyelashes trembled, and she said with a smile as usual: "Yes, I remember it, and I will abide by my duty in the future." After saying that, he lowered his body, and the place he liked was better brought to him. In the mouth.

 Prince An's eyes darkened, and he pulled her in. There was another ups and downs.

In the Pingting Pavilion, Qiao Hui was counting the cloth needed for tomorrow: "Ruan Yanluo, I am dressed too brightly, and it goes well with Aunt Dong Jia. The sapphire blue moire brocade belongs to the prince, and the autumn fragrant Shu brocade belongs to the second lady." , I keep the lavender agarwood satin for myself..."

While sorting the cloth, Xiu'er looked at the tired Qiao Hui and advised: "Second Young Mistress, we can do it again tomorrow morning. You can rest first."

Qiao Hui rubbed her temples, and said with force, "The embroiderer will come over tomorrow morning, and we'll do the inventory tonight, so as not to be in a hurry and something goes wrong." It's quite a blessing to have a capable mother-in-law. My sister-in-law and brother have a lot of things. Everything is managed by the princess herself. Apart from occasionally learning to do the accounting, the sister-in-law has nothing else to worry about... But she, the mother-in-law, is almost too lazy to take care of the second house. Maybe she feels uncomfortable after being deprived of her authority, so she is a little decadent!

After finally counting the cloth, Qiao Hui took out her account book and began to calculate the budget for the second house next month. Count until the moon is halfway up. Xiu'er brewed a cup of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea and put it in Qiao Hui's hand, and said, "Second Young Mistress, it seems that the eldest aunt has returned home! Moreover, when I just went to the warehouse to move boxes, I saw Doctor Hu running to the inner house in a hurry. I looked in the direction. , it’s also Qingyayuan. Could it be that my eldest aunt was bullied by the Yao family?”

 Qiao Hui covered her face with her sleeves and yawned: "Don't talk nonsense, my eldest aunt and uncle are in a good relationship."

"Is there finally Aunt Leng? Now, Aunt Leng's child is living in Mrs. Yao's yard. It hurts like a darling! I'm not sure what happened to Sister Hui. Then Doctor Yao and the eldest daughter will The debt is settled on the eldest aunt, and bumps and bruises during disputes are inevitable..." Xiu'er regretfully made up a story about family ethics, and she told it very eloquently!

Qiao Hui looked solemn: "Then... you send a piece of Ganoderma lucidum to Qingya Courtyard. Remember, don't inquire about anything, lest people think that the second room is restless."

"I know." Xiu'er responded respectfully and was about to open the door and leave. Suddenly a strong figure walked in slowly. Xiu'er was startled and quickly bowed and saluted: "I have seen the county king. Wang Wanan!”

Since Xiu'er suggested that Qiao Hui should not care about Dong Jialin's life or death, Prince An no longer had a good impression of her. Prince An said coldly "Yeah" and Xiu'er hurriedly exited, even forgetting to take the Ganoderma lucidum! When she turned around to go back to get it, Prince An closed the door with a bang!

 Qiao Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she smiled sweetly: "Mr. Sir." She poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to him.

 Wang Anjun drank a little and said in a pleasant manner, "Who do you want Xiu'er to see?"

 Qiao Hui repeated Xiu'er's words: "... It must be that the eldest sister is back, so I thought of sending a piece of Ganoderma lucidum to express my feelings."

King An Jun glanced around and saw the neatly arranged cloth and the neatly written account books, and his heart moved, this is what he should do when marrying a wife. He came closer to Qiao Hui and whispered a few words in her ear. Qiao Hui suddenly changed her color when she heard this: "Ah? The one from Qingya Courtyard...how...how...could it be..."

Shui Linglong walked and walked around the house until she was sure that Little Persimmon was asleep, then she carefully lay back on the bed. For about a quarter of an hour, Little Persimmon kept hiccupping. She also encountered this situation when she was pregnant with Bin's son. Her belly trembled regularly. At that time, she was just a little girl who was inexperienced in the world. She was so frightened that she immediately started crying: "Woo... the baby's heart is beating out. You Touch it, it jumps against my belly..."

Xun Feng laughed so hard: "Silly girl! Can it still beat when the heart beats out of the chest? If you touch it again, is it in the same rhythm as your pulse? The heartbeat of the fetus is much faster than that of normal people. He has swallowed Amniotic fluid, hiccups."

It turns out that there were times when she was so stupid and naive.

Zhuge Yu returned to the house, and Shui Linglong had just laid down. Zhuge Yu walked to the bedside, kissed her gently, then held her wrist and checked her pulse. Everything was normal, and then he said softly: "My son, is he good today?" ?”

Shui Linglong snorted: "I only care about your son, but not me! Let me ask you, what would you do if I gave birth to a daughter?"

 Zhuge Yu lay down and held her chubby body in his arms: "How could it be a daughter? It must be a son!"

Shui Linglong had a conflict with the "son theory": "What if she is a daughter? Do you not like her anymore?"

Zhuge Yu chuckled softly and said with a smile, "Little fool! I will love whatever you give birth to! If you have a daughter like you, I will love you even more!"

"You're a little idiot!" Shui Linglong replied to him angrily, but her heart felt warm. Due to the general environment, boys were favored over girls, and Zhuge Yu was an only child. If she couldn't win a boy at one stroke, not only the old lady, but also My lord, even Zhuge Xi will be extremely disappointed. So, she is a bit stressed.

Zhuge Yu knew what she was worried about, so he rested his head on her neck and sighed comfortably: "Don't think about it. It's the same to me if you have a son or a daughter, really. You live with me, but you don't At worst, we can move out. Anyway, the emperor has given me a new general's mansion, and I haven't lived in it yet. "

This man's words moved her, a hormonal disordered woman, so much that she was afraid that she would be criticized after giving birth to a daughter, so she would rather move out of the house and live alone than suffer any injustice... Shui Linglong twisted her chubby body and gave him a A big kiss: "Zhuge Yu, you are so kind!"

 I said it without being pretentious, no need, my parents are still alive, so moving out of the house and living alone is likely to attract criticism. Are you kidding me? She really dared to pack Zhuge Yu away!

 Little Fatty...Zhuge Yu thinks she can be called this name in the future. Not to mention, Shui Linglong had really gained a lot of weight, and edema accounted for most of it. Not only her legs, but also her fingers and face were severely swollen. When her hands were spread out, they looked like bear paws, which made Zhuge Yu jump with fear.

"Zhuge Yu, have I gained weight again?" Zhuge Yu played with Shui Linglong's chubby hand, and Shui Linglong asked. She loves beauty and is narcissistic. She really can't accept the appearance of a fat girl in the bronze mirror, so she hasn't looked in the mirror since last month.

 Zhuge Yu massaged her swollen hands distressedly and said slowly: "It's normal for pregnant women to be a little fatter, and I don't dislike it."

 The key is that I dislike it... Shui Linglong held her forehead, what kind of pregnancy was she carrying? This situation has never happened in my previous life! He complained, complained, and snored not too weakly. Zhuge Yu kissed her chubby cheek, listened to the sound from her nose, and smiled slightly, thinking she was quite cute like this.

Zhuge Yu planned to take a bath and go to bed. Ye Mao reported at the door and Uncle Yu asked to see him. Zhuge Yu refused: No see!

When Shui Linglong woke up, it was already broad daylight. The old man was not here, so no one in the house had morning exercises. Why should we be diligent when we can be lazy? Shui Linglong was so sleepy that she couldn't hear the deafening shouts. Zhi Fan and Ye Mao served Shui Linglong to change clothes and wash up together. Every day when they saw Shui Linglong, they noticed that her belly had grown a lot. The two of them were shocked and stunned. Ye Mao asked: "It's so... so big. Can her belly... be... Broken?"

Shui Linglong was playing with Jin Chai’s hand for a moment, and Zhi Fan patted Ye Mao on the head. He really couldn’t speak! Zhifan remedied: "How could it burst? Usually, it won't survive."

Shui Linglong took a breath...

After having breakfast in Mohe Courtyard, Ye Mao explained the fever last night: "Uncle Yu asked to see the Crown Prince, he looked very anxious, but the Crown Prince refused without asking the reason, and his tone was particularly bad. ”

Yu Bo is Zhuge Liuyun's confidant. It seems that he came to Zhuge Yu with Zhuge Liuyun's instructions. If this is the case, why did Zhuge Yu refuse him? Zhuge Yu knew why Uncle Yu came to him, so he deliberately avoided it? Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Did the Crown Prince go to Qingya Courtyard last night? Did he go to Tiananju to have dinner with the old lady this morning?"

Zhi Fan was very glad that she admired Zhuge Yu and therefore paid special attention to his whereabouts. Otherwise, she would not be able to answer such a tricky question when asked by the eldest lady. She said respectfully: "No, the prince came directly from the study room last night. , I didn’t leave until this morning, and I didn’t go to Qingya Courtyard. The breakfast I had at Mohe Courtyard was a little less than usual, just half a bowl of noodles and a crystal steamed bun, and I only took one bite of the steamed bun.”

　　That said, Zhuge Yu was in a bad mood and even lost his appetite. This must have something to do with Uncle Yu's request for an audience. If she had guessed that Zhuge Xi was back last night, she no longer thought so after listening to Ye Mao's story this morning. Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Xi have a very good relationship. If Zhuge Xi returns home, it is unlikely that Zhuge Yu will not visit. Shui Linglong thought again that Dr. Hu went to Qingya Courtyard last night, and that Uncle Yu came to see Zhuge Yu in the middle of the night... and that the princess was so upset when she heard some news that she smashed the cup... This...

"Ouch! Where did this **** come from! He actually broke into the courtyard of the Crown Princess! Why don't you hurry up and get out?" Suddenly, a sharp shout from the gatekeeper came from outside. Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows and said, "Go. See what's going on."

Zhifan nodded and walked out of the room quickly. Half a quarter of an hour later, he came in dejectedly, stepped on the threshold with one foot, and fell down and ate mud like Anping.
