First Concubine

Chapter 197 The truth about premature birth (4)

 The third princess laughed secretly. Fortunately, this princess prepared onions! snort! The Tao is as high as the devil, Guo Yan, can you escape from my grasp? Gathering back the pride in her heart, the third princess hugged her right foot and burst into tears: "My foot is sprained, wuwu... it hurts so much... I can't walk... I just wanted to see Linglong, so I followed you. I didn't mean to follow you... Wuwu...you don't need to hit me..."

beat? He just...just...accidentally shook her hand away and never thought of hitting her. Guo Yan didn't want to see the third princess cry. When she cried, he became very upset. He pressed his forehead and said helplessly: "I didn't hit you... I... alas! Okay, I'm sorry, I apologized to you, please forgive me." cool down."

The third princess blinked her tearful eyes. Their onions are so useful. Stop crying: "I'm not angry, but I can't walk. Why don't you ask Xiaohan to carry me back to the carriage and go home. Just in time. , I don’t need to disturb you and Linglong’s mother and son reminiscing.” He said, waving to Xiaohan.

Xiaohan twisted his fat body and hurried over, and said in a naive manner: "What are your orders, princess?"

"you…"

“You can take a stroll around the mansion first while the princess and I go to visit the Crown Princess. I’ll call you when we leave!” When the third princess was about to answer, Guo Yan immediately interrupted the third princess. Thinking of the third princess being carried on Xiaohan's back, he felt very uncomfortable!

The third princess almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered her mouth with her sleeves, whimpering and saying: "Okay, you... help me up... I'll try walking..." Before she finished speaking, her body became light, but it was... He was picked up by Guo Yan. The third princess nestled in Guo Yan's arms, smiling crazily, haha! It turns out that men only like her if she shows weakness. From now on, she will just pretend to be a little sheep!

Shui Linglong watched Guo Yan bring the third princess in. The third princess lowered her head and smiled shyly: "You guys talk, don't ignore me, I'll sit down for a while."

Shui Linglong shed a few goosebumps: "It's rare for you two to come together. How can you leave one alone and only care about the other?"

 The third princess continued to lower her head and smiled "shyly". Shui Linglong's heart felt hairy. She pulled Guo Yan to sit down next to the third princess and asked with a smile: "How are you doing recently?"

 The third princess replied shyly: "It's very good."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows and glanced hopefully at her flat belly: "Is there any movement?"

The third princess's eyes dimmed and she shook her head: "No."

There has been no movement for so long. According to the memory of the previous life, the third princess became pregnant when she and Guo Yan were in the same room. Why is she infertile in this life?

 Guo Yan looked at Shui Linglong, who was frowning slightly, and then at the third princess who couldn't hide her uneasiness. His eyes moved and he smoothed things over: "The imperial doctor checked the pulse and said that there is no problem with the body. It will be over in a while."

 The third princess glanced at Guo Yan gratefully. Shui Linglong just wanted to laugh, she already knew how to protect her wife. She didn't mean to question the third princess, she was just comparing the differences between the past and present lives. Perhaps, Guo Yan and the third princess were very affectionate in the past life, but Xun Bin in this life is always aloof, and it is difficult for a woman to get pregnant if she is under great pressure. Shui Linglong smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's good for you to be young and out of the world of two. Zhi Fan, take the children out."

Unexpectedly, before Guo Yan and the third princess took a serious look at their brother and sister, there was a scream from outside the yard like a little fool killing a pig: "Ah-ah--ah--"

Guo Yan frowned fiercely, stood up, and strode to the door of the yard!

Xiaohan ran all the way. When he saw Guo Yan, he jumped on Guo Yan as if he was seeing a savior, and said tremblingly: "Ghost... I just saw a ghost... female... female ghost..."

Guo Yan can't stand Xiaohan's behavior of jumping on him at every turn. Is this still a man? Guo Yan threw Xiaohan to the ground and frowned: "Why are you so crazy in broad daylight? Where did the female ghost come from? I think you have become possessed recently. Go back and burn incense in the temple to drive away evil spirits!" After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the yard, but Xiaohan grabbed his arm and said firmly, "General, I really didn't lie! I saw a female ghost last time in the woods near the capital!" That one! She changed her clothes and lost her hair, but I recognize her eyes and face, especially her pointed chin... I’m not lying to you! "

 Guo Yan made a "tsk" sound, looked back at him and said: "Since you are a ghost, how can you run out and wander around in the broad daylight? If you are nervous all day long, I will send you back to the military camp!"

"No, I really...I...ah! Look! It's her!" Xiaohan jumped to his feet anxiously, glanced at the visitor, and pointed towards the person. Guo Yan followed the direction she pointed and saw a young woman with delicate features walking slowly towards her. The person was holding a little girl about three or four years old. Guo Yan raised his eyebrows. How could this be? She looks like a half-ghost?

 Xiaoxia and Xiao Qiuyan returned from visiting relatives and met Guo Yan at the gate of Wisteria Courtyard. Although they didn't recognize each other, they could tell that the other person was of high status. Xiaoxia pulled Xiao Qiuyan and saluted Guo Yan. After the two entered the door, Guo Yan crossed his hands on his chest and asked Xiang Xiaohan: "Are they the female ghosts you saw?"

Xiaohan scratched his head: "No, no! That person just disappeared in a blink of an eye!"

Guo Yan slapped his head hard: "I'm warning you for the last time! Say anything to me again! I'll really send you back to the military camp!"

Xiaohan held his forehead, squatted in a corner angrily, and drew circles...

"Madam! You are here! My cousin refuses to eat, and my servant has tried to persuade her to do so, but to no avail. Do you think you should go and see your cousin first?" At the corner, the Defu family stopped Shangguan.

Shangguan suddenly retracted his outstretched leg, glanced at the Wisteria Courtyard, and frowned: "Send the lychees in."

Guo Yan entered the room and took turns hugging Brother Hong for a while with the third princess. Sister Hong was too young and they, novices, did not dare to hold him. The third princess liked children very much. She brought all kinds of toys to them and made funny faces regardless of her appearance. The elder brother was very proud and peed on her. The third princess twitched her lips, ordered someone to fetch spare clothes from the carriage, and took a bath in the clean room. While she was taking a shower, Shui Linglong and her son had some alone time to be intimate.

“How are you doing recently?” Shui Linglong made a cup of coconut milk and handed it to Guo Yan.

Guo Yan held up the tea cup with both hands and took a sip. He felt comfortable all over and his mood relaxed unconsciously. He looked down at the milk bubbles in the cup and said with a normal expression: "I still haven't found Xun Feng. I walked along the capital. I searched several routes to the east, but found nothing. Even Jinshang Palace seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news about it. Zhuge Yu seemed to be looking for it, and our people had encountered it a few times. "

This is Xun Feng's ability. Even if he wants to hide, even the Emperor can't dig him out! Shui Linglong looked into his worried eyes and said softly: "It's a matter of time, we will always find it."

"Are you really... not going to let him live?" Guo Yan hesitated for a moment and then asked bravely. If that was the case, he would rather Xun Feng hide in a place where no one could find him for the rest of his life.

This is the second time Guo Yan asked the same question. Compared with the upset last time, Shui Linglong seemed very calm at this time. She looked at the pair of babies sleeping soundly on the crib and was speechless for a moment.

Guo Yan tugged at the hem of his clothes and his eyes dimmed: "My younger brothers and sisters have a complete family, you..." He glanced at Shui Linglong with a complicated expression, then lowered his eyes, "Can you leave half of it for me?" He wanted to He didn't have much, just half a family was enough. Linglong already belonged to Zhuge Yu, Zhuge Hong and Zhuge Yan. This was a world that he couldn't fit into even if he squeezed his brains out. Xun Feng was different. Even if Xun Feng married a wife and had children, he could still survive. Stay with Xun Feng every day.

Shui Linglong was stunned and looked at her son in disbelief. He didn't look like what he remembered, but he had all the expressions in her memory. Once upon a time, he was the same size as her brother, nestling in her arms and waiting for food. In the blink of an eye, he could no longer openly call her "Mother". Since her rebirth, she has been planning her own happiness, planning Zhuge Yu's future, and planning the future of her brother and sister, but it seems that she has not calmed down to think about what Guo Yan needs. He seemed to have become very powerful in this life, so powerful that he no longer needed her protection, so she deceived herself and ignored his vulnerability. It turns out that he is no different from other children. He wants a complete family and wants to be the only one for his parents. However, it was Xun Feng in his previous life and she in this life, both of which ruthlessly shattered the dream he had woven.

Putting aside the mixed feelings in her heart, Shui Linglong stood up and took him into her arms: "If he doesn't provoke me, I won't fight him to the death. Bin'er, this is for you." Please don't think that I don't care about you, Don’t think that I love Brother Hong and Sister Nan more than you, it’s just that they are smaller and need more careful care from me.

Guo Yan felt happy and laughed "hehe". The two chatted for a while, and Zhi Fan walked into the room with a basket of fresh lychees in his hand: "Miss, Madam just came here. I heard that you were meeting guests, so she left the lychees and left. "

"Madam?" Guo Yan looked at Shui Linglong in confusion, "Didn't Prince An's mother get beaten so hard that she couldn't get out of bed? Has she recovered?"

"Put it on the table." After Shui Linglong ordered Zhifan, she replied according to the official statement, "She is not the mother of Prince An, but the first wife of the prince in Kashgar. She lived in South Vietnam for more than ten years. A few days ago Back to the palace."

Guo Yan was not very concerned about Zhuge Liuyun's romantic affairs, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Shui Linglong looked at the account books sent back by Shangguan family on the desk and fell into deep thought.

　　One month passed like a fleeting moment, and in the blink of an eye, the brother and sister had reached sixty days. The brother had grown to eight pounds and eight taels, and the sister had grown to five pounds and sixty ounces. The jaundice had completely subsided. My brother's first smile was given to Shui Linglong, and my sister's was given to Zhuge Yu.

 In terms of feeding, Shui Linglong still concentrates on feeding her sister and her son, and occasionally gives some benefits to her brother, without being too unfavorable. Shui Linglong tried to let Xiaoxia and Qiu Sanniang feed her sister, but her sister refused to take other people's milk just like when she was born. As a result, Shui Linglong had to cancel all social activities. Even Bingbing posted several times asking her to go to the palace to reminisce about old times, but she could only politely refuse. Watching her sister grow up day by day, and recalling how she was smaller than a cat when she was born, Shui Linglong felt that no matter how much effort she put in, it was all worth it.

 “妗妗!妗妗! Here we come!”

While Shui Linglong and her brother were having a great time, a crisp and pleasant child's voice came from the door, and after a while, Brother Zhi pulled Brother Hao in.

Brother Zhi has curved eyebrows and narrow phoenix eyes. He has inherited a bit of Feng Yanying's Jiangnan flavor. He wears a crescent white brocade suit, with a gourd-shaped jade pendant hanging around his waist and tied with a red tassel. He is the same age as Brother Hao. , but he is more than half a head taller than Brother Hao. He stands with Brother Hao like a big brother. Because of Feng Yanying's instructions, he usually takes good care of Brother Hao.

Shui Linglong smiled and looked at the person walking towards her: "Is school going to end early today?" It was half an hour earlier than usual.

Brother Zhi clasped his fists and bowed to Shui Linglong in a polite manner: "Hello, Jin Jin! In reply to Jin Jin, today Brother Hao and I have completed the master's task ahead of schedule. The master will leave school early as soon as he is happy. ”

Even after living in the house for more than two months, Brother Hao's introverted character still hasn't improved much. He lowered his head, not looking at Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong was used to Brother Hao's fear and rejection of her intentionally or unintentionally, so she didn't take it to heart. She just smiled and said: "Go to the clean room and wash your face quickly. There is delicious food here."

"Thank you Jin Jin!" Brother Zhi bowed politely again, then looked at Brother Hao beside him, and said seriously, "Let's go, let's go wash our hands and faces. We can only eat after we are clean!"

Brother Hao didn't say anything. Brother Zhi shook his head and sighed like a young adult. He took him to the clean room. Zhi Fan followed and waited on the two young masters inside.

When we came out, there were fresh fruits - lychees, grapes and honeydew melon - on the table, four-color snacks - ingot cake, coconut-flavored water chestnut cake, purple sweet potato and yam cake, original egg tart, and two cups of milk mixed with a little honey. They were not used to it at first, but after being fooled twice by Shui Linglong, they gradually fell in love with the taste. Brother Hao picked up the cup and drank it. The sound of him swallowing milk filled the room. Brother Zhi frowned, but didn't act like him. Instead, he walked to Shui Linglong first and greeted his brother and sister: "Jinjin, how are Brother Hong and Sister Nan doing today?"

Shui Linglong smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhi. They are all very good."

"Yeah." Brother Zhi smiled happily, "Can I have fruit and snacks?"

Over there, Brother Hao was already devouring his food. Shui Linglong glanced at Brother Hao and said kindly, "Of course, these snacks are just for you to eat. You don't need to ask Jinjin, just eat them."

Brother Zhi obediently picked up a piece of honeydew melon and handed it to Shui Linglong's mouth: "Jinjin eats it first! Master teaches us: As a son, when you are young, you should be close to your teachers and friends, learn etiquette, and you must be filial to your elders and be kind to your teachers and friends. ”

Zhi Fan sincerely praised: "Master Yao learned his lessons well!"
