First Concubine

Chapter 217 The Princess is happy (1)

After leaving Tian'anju, Qiao Hui pressed her head, which was a little dizzy, and said, "Two mothers-in-law, big heads."

Shui Linglong hid her face and laughed at her: "Two people love you, and you make a profit, isn't that good?"

The two of them continued walking, and Qiao Hui sighed: "It doesn't matter, we have to leave in a while anyway, and my father-in-law is here too."

Zhuge Liufeng is here too? Shui Linglong blinked, and then thought that this was the first year of paying taxes in Kashgar. As the clan leader, it was normal for Zhuge Liufeng to come to repay his duties. Moreover, Yunli had conferred the title of heir apparent and princess on his children, so it would be unjustifiable for him not to come to express his gratitude. Shui Linglong said in a brisk tone: "Second brother and second uncle are okay, right?"

Qiao Hui nodded and smiled happily: "Thanks to my uncle for dealing with it and persuading my father-in-law a lot. My father-in-law respects my grandfather and uncle the most in his life, and he is always willing to listen to my uncle's words."

Shui Linglong said "hmm". Qiao Hui looked around, held Shui Linglong's hand and whispered: "Sister-in-law, do you feel that the princess and the second lady are not getting along well?"

Of course I did, Shangguan Hong never called Leng Youru "sister-in-law" from the beginning to the end. She kept calling her "princess" and "princess". But what does that mean? A person like Shangguan Yan who treats everyone well from the first moment turns out to be a poisonous scorpion. People can see their emotions on the outside, but maybe they don't have such deep intentions. Shui Linglong straightened her temples and said, "What do you think?"

Qiao Hui said thoughtfully: "Actually, I think this is normal. After all, the prince and his wife had a deep love for each other. The princess stepped in and broke up the couple, causing the prince and his wife to be separated. Although the princess did not do it voluntarily Yes, it is human nature to dare not complain against the superior emperor, but can only complain about the princess who married into the Zhuge family. Besides, the old lady said that the second lady was originally the best friend of the prince's mother, and the prince often chased her when he was a child. Will the second lady run away?"

Shui Linglong gave her an appreciative look: "Yes, maybe Shangguan Hong is fighting for Shangguan Qian."

Qiao Hui tilted her head and muttered: "Sister-in-law, you still don't believe my reasoning!"

Shui Linglong nodded her head and smiled slightly: "What's the use of believing it or not? As juniors, we should avoid the grievances of our elders as much as possible. Otherwise, if we make a mess, we won't be scolded, and our husbands will be harmed. Something bad happened.”

Qiao Hui smiled coquettishly: "I'm still planning to inquire, but what my sister-in-law said is reasonable. We can't drag the prince into the water just to satisfy temporary curiosity. His situation is already embarrassing. I can't do anything to help, but I definitely can't. Make trouble for him."

This child is really annoying. Shui Linglong touched the hair on her temples and said goodbye to her with a smile, but suddenly she saw a group of people carrying a soft sedan heading towards the back mountain in a panic from a distance. There seemed to be a person lying on the soft sedan!

"Hurry up! What are you waiting for... Ouch! Slow down, don't get hit!"

"Mom Yu, please don't rush me. The more you push the slaves, the more urgent it will be. The more hasty you are, the more likely things will go wrong! If you go faster and slower, the slaves don't know which order to obey you! This path is difficult to walk!"

The woman called "Mother Yu" is about forty years old. It's dark and she can't see her face clearly from a distance, but the tassels on her bun that flicker for a long time are eye-catching. For a servant to dress so well, it shows that her status is not high. Low, there are not many mothers with high status in the palace, and there are even fewer mothers who wear gold and silver. Maybe she is... Shangguan Hong's personal mother? Shui Linglong asked Qiao Hui: "Have you seen my mother? She seems to be from the second room. There is no manager named Yu in the house."

Qiao Hui tilted her head, thought for a while and said: "There are many people here today, but I didn't see them one by one. They all live in Xianglan Courtyard. The second lady said that all the men are in the palace today to talk with the emperor. I don’t have time to meet everyone one by one, I will introduce it to you tomorrow.”

Tomorrow I will choose a time to introduce everyone one by one. So, as expected, there are still people who have not been introduced. Shui Linglong looked at the team that was driving into the night, no one could be seen but there were soft footsteps, and she looked thoughtful.

 In the quiet courtyard, Brother Hao stood behind the desk and painted red carefully.

Zhuge Liuyun listened to Uncle Yu's report at the door, and rushed into Leng Youru's yard without even changing his court clothes. He looked like he was going to punish Brother Hao, "Why do you want to punish Brother Hao? If the children fight, just slap him." No, why don’t you ask him if he has any difficulties or grievances?”

Brother Hao was initially relieved when he heard someone supporting him in the small study. But after hearing this, he became impetuous again. He felt that he was right and that the **** Xuyang was wrong!

Leng Youru did not give Zhuge Liufeng face this time: "No matter what the grievance is, biting is wrong."

Zhuge Liuyun took a breath, cleared his throat and said, "Then you punished him too harshly. He only needs to be copied ten times. Wouldn't it cost his life fifty times?"

Leng Youru took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "If his life had been lost so easily, he wouldn't have been able to wander from South Vietnam to Da Zhou."

Zhuge Liuyun choked and almost lost his breath. He put his hands behind his back and walked around the room. After he stood still again, he looked at Leng Youru: "Oh, you still remember that he suffered so much back then. In this case, you should treat him well and not let him suffer any injustice. It is normal for children to make noises. If you are so smart, can't you come up with other... easy ways? "

"Easy way?" Leng Youru twitched her lips with a half-smile, "Is the prince kowtowing to Xu Yang to admit his mistake? Then the prince personally went to the small study to ask, between kowtowing and tracing the red line fifty times, Brother Hao Which one do you want to choose?"

Brother Hao lowered his eyes and refused to kowtow to death!

Zhuge Liuyun's expression turned ugly. He felt that this woman was becoming more and more bold, and she was paying less and less attention to him. However, every time he confronted her, he seemed to... lose a little bit of confidence! Shame on you!

Leng Youru put down the unfinished account book in her hand and said calmly: "Having suffered hardship is not an excuse for him to act recklessly. The prince indulged Xiao Yu in this way at the beginning, which resulted in Xiao Yu's naughty, arrogant and arrogant temper. Does the prince want to turn Brother Hao into the second Xiao Yu? The prince doesn't say how good Xiao Yu is now, it's because Xiao Yu met Linglong! Of course, Xiao Yu's biggest change came from the prince's change. "But if everyone's growth requires the death of a close relative, don't you think the price is too high?"

 Zhuge Liuyun was speechless! Leng Youru added: "I know that the prince is ashamed of Shangguan Qian and Ling'er, but he cannot unconditionally indulge Brother Hao just because of guilt!"

Zhuge Liuyun was stabbed in the foot and couldn't accept it for a moment. He hummed almost without thinking: "It's not your biological child anyway, so I won't feel bad if you treat me harshly!"

Leng Youru’s long eyelashes trembled, and a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes. As soon as Zhuge Liuyun finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he couldn't help but apologize. He just took out a small blue and white porcelain vase from his arms and put it on the table: "That...ahem...I brought it to you from Kashgar Qing." , good stuff." As soon as he left, Leng Youru threw the things into the trash can without saying a word!

Shui Linglong returned to the room. My sister and brother were not awake yet. They were probably too tired from playing during the day and would sleep until dawn. Halfway through, my brother peed on the bed once, but my sister didn't. She hummed a few times while half asleep, and Xiaoxia quickly peed her.

Shui Linglong kissed the babies’ faces and planned to wash up. Zhi Fan carefully reported: “I just heard from Xiaoxia that my sister coughed twice in her sleep.”

 My brother has never been sick even once in his life, but I have to take medicine every three days. Shui Linglong held her sleeping sister in her arms, feeling extremely distressed, but said in a calm tone: "Let's stew some Sichuan clams and pears tomorrow morning." If you still cough in the afternoon, you will have to call a doctor again.

Zhi Fan responded respectfully: "Yes."

Shui Linglong took off her shoes and went to bed. She did nothing but held her sister in her arms in a daze, thinking that she couldn't drink the bitter concoction. However, her sister, who was used to being squeamish, drank it down in one gulp without crying. , Shui Linglong wished she had suffered this crime for her.

Shui Linglong didn't sleep much all night, fearing that her sister would have phlegm stuck in her throat and not be able to cough it out. This happened once, when her sister was five months old, she fell asleep in a daze. , Zhuge Yu suddenly woke up from his sleep when he heard something was wrong with his sister's breathing, and found that his sister's face was blue. Zhuge Yu was so frightened that he sucked out his sister's phlegm with his mouth, thus saving his sister's life. Since then, neither of them has been able to sleep well. Fortunately, my sister stopped coughing at night and was in good spirits when she woke up in the morning. Shui Linglong was relieved!

"Mom, I want a hug!" Sister stretched out her little arms towards Shui Linglong and called softly.

Shui Linglong held her sister, Xiaoxia held her brother, Zhi Fan and Ye Mao took the children's clothes and toys, and they went to Tian'anju together. Worried about her sister last night, Shui Linglong finished her business. Now she thought about it and said, "Zhi Fan, Ye Mao, you two are not young anymore. What do you think of your marriage? Is there any support at home?" If arrangements are made, I can let him go."

Zhi Fan's eyes dimmed, Shui Linglong glanced at her, and then finished what she had not finished, "No one has arranged it, so I will try my best to find a promising marriage for you."

Ye Mao scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "The slave's mother didn't find one for the slave. She said that it's good for the slave to serve the eldest lady like this. It doesn't matter whether you marry or not. Anyway, it's good for the younger brothers to continue their incest."

Shui Linglong took away her little paw that was grabbing her hairband and gave her a clean rattle. She licked it happily. Shui Linglong laughed, looked at Ye Mao and said, "You're married." You can still come to me as an errand. Tell your mother what I say, whether to look for you outside or in the palace. Don’t delay this important event in your life. I will also prepare a gift box for you to get married. "

 “Thank you, Miss.” The two of them thanked each other at the same time.

“Where are you Zhifan?” Shui Linglong asked again.

Zhi Fan followed Shui Linglong, lowered his eyebrows and said: "My slave... I don't want to get married. I am an orphan. There is no such thing as continuing the incense, and I don't need to support my parents. I am used to being free on my own. If I really get married, , You may not know how to serve your parents-in-law.”

Shui Linglong asked: "What if you don't have to serve your parents-in-law? Are you willing to get married?"

Zhi Fan’s eyebrows twitched and he panicked: “I won’t marry! I won’t marry you! I’m just like Miss Ping’er, I just need to comb my hair and be a mother!”

Xiao Xia sighed: "Silly girl, you think it's okay to get married when you are young now, but when you reach middle age or even old age, you will know how lonely a person is. Young couples always come to keep company, bumping into each other for the first half of their lives, and relying on each other for a few years after. "

Zhi Fan bit his lip and said nothing, Shui Linglong shook her head. She originally saw Anping looking for Zhi Fan a few times in private, and thought they were in love, but it turned out that it was King Xiang who had a dream and the goddess Wu Xin.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at Tian'anju. According to Qiao Hui, everyone would meet relatives from the clan this morning. Shui Linglong adjusted her expression and carried her sister into the main house.

"You bastard! Get down on your knees!" A man who was about the same age as Zhuge Liuyun and had a similar appearance pointed at Xu Yang's head and scolded him!

Xu Yang bit his lip and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. Shangguan Hong closed his eyes and turned his face away, expressing that he was helpless. Xu Yang glared fiercely at Brother Hao, who was leaning next to Leng Youru, and knelt on the ground unwillingly. The old lady sat on the head of the kang, Zhuge Liuyun and Leng Youru sat on the main seat on the left, Shangguan Hong, Zhen Shi, Qiao Hui, and Prince An sat opposite. The man who just scolded Xu Yang, Zhuge Liufeng, stood in the center. Compared with Zhuge Liuyun's handsomeness, Zhuge Liufeng is more handsome and heroic.

Zhuge Liuyun's expression turned solemn: "Second brother, what are you doing? Don't let the child kneel down. The child is old and has his own dignity."

Liufeng cupped his hands and said sternly: "Yesterday, this little beast bumped into Brother Hao. Today I specially sent him to stand on a thorn bush to plead guilty!"

"That's right..." Zhuge Liuyun paused and said consolingly, "There's no need to mobilize so many people. They are all children. They can't make a sound with a slap. Everyone is at fault. Xu Yang is injured. Please call him quickly. stand up!"

Liufeng looked at Xuyang coldly: "Why don't you apologize to Brother Hao quickly?"

Old Taijun said dullly: "Last night... wasn't it Brother Hao who snatched Xuyang's jade pendant? Why did Xuyang apologize?"

Liufeng glared at his son and said respectfully to the old lady: "To tell you what to say, it was Xu Yang who insulted Brother Hao first. Brother Hao was so angry that he wanted to **** Xu Yang's jade pendant as punishment, but Xu Yang refused. After continuing to scold, the two started fighting. After all, it was Xu Yang who was responsible for this! And not only did he not repent, he also lied and put all the blame on Brother Hao. How could I have done it in the first place? Didn't you slap him to death?"

 This is the mantra of the old man! Shui Linglong opened the curtain and came in, just in time to catch a flash of coldness in Shangguan Hong's eyes as she looked at Leng Youru. It was fleeting and too fast to be caught. Shui Linglong looked at Leng Youru again. Leng Youru held Brother Hao on her lap. She didn't even raise her eyelids, but frowned, as if she was disgusted. Of course she didn't hate Brother Hao. Well, then who do you hate?

Xu Yang reluctantly apologized to Brother Hao: "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."

Brother Hao snorted and dove into Leng Youru’s arms. Qiao Hui suddenly saw the curtain shaking and smiled happily: "Sister-in-law, you are here!"

 Everyone then looked at Shui Linglong. While everyone was distracted, Shangguan Hong pulled his son up and took him into his arms. Liufeng looked at Shui Linglong: "This is..."

Shui Linglong smiled sweetly, hugged her sister and blessed her body: "Second uncle, I wish you good luck. I am Linglong."

The woman in front of him was as bright as a pearl, as gorgeous as a peach and plum, with a slight smile that seemed to be floating in the wind. Liu Feng reminded him of someone who was as extraordinary as her. The difference was that her watery eyes were It was as calm as a bottomless pool, but that person's eyes were always flashing with vitality. I don't know what he thought of, Liufeng's eyes flickered slightly, seeming gloomy and regretful, but then disappeared in the blink of an eye: "It's Linglong, what a beautiful child!" After saying that, his eyes fell on the sister, Shui Linglong. He looked at his sister and said, "Hurry up and call Grandpa Er."

 Sister shouted in a dignified manner: "Grandpa!" Everyone in the room laughed!

 Qiao Hui took her brother from Xiaoxia's hand and said happily: "Brother, you are also called Second Grandpa! Hurry up! I asked Second Aunt to give you candy!"

 Brother puffed up his cheeks and shouted seriously: "Ah!" Everyone was laughing so hard!

Shangguan Hong said: "Look at me, brother, he and Xiao Yu are exactly the same mold!"

The corners of the old lady's eyes were slightly wet: "Isn't it? Sometimes when I hold my brother, I can't tell whether I'm holding my brother or Xiao Yu." After a pause, he asked Zhuge Liuyun, "When will Xiao Yu return?"

Zhuge Liuyun replied respectfully: "It's the end of the month."

Liufeng hugged his brother and gave him a bunch of small goldfish. He also gave Liufeng a big gift - his super invincible boy's urine. Shui Linglong's face was a bit confused, but Liufeng laughed loudly: "This is a good sign! It means that the child likes me! I will have great luck this year!"

 “Haha.” Sister laughed, Shui Linglong’s face became more and more uneasy.

Liufeng gave her an anklet made of purple gold with four small bells around it. When she moved her steps, the silver bells were crisp and sweet. The elder sister liked it so much that after sitting on the kang, she hugged her feet and started chewing on them. This naive look made everyone laugh non-stop.

Xu Yang was nestled in Shangguan Hong's arms. His ears hurt and his heart felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't laugh! Seeing Brother Hao sitting on the princess's lap, hugging her neck and rubbing her, Xuyang became even more angry, but he dared to be angry but dared not speak out. He was so stunned that he was afraid of being violent, and he was afraid that it would cost his life. It doesn't even count, but Brother Hao is definitely a life-threatening person. well! How embarrassing.

Zhuge Liuyun smiled and quietly held Leng Youru's hand. Leng Youru's expression froze and she brushed it away calmly. The corner of Zhuge Liuyun's mouth twitched, but he still looked at the amusing sister and brother laughing, but his hand touched Leng Youru again. Brother Hao tilted his head and looked, frowning strangely, and then...
