First Concubine

Chapter 244: Kill the chicken to scare the monkey (3)

Zhuge Liuyun cleared his throat, "The princess is pregnant and can't stand the stimulation. She has only been waiting for such a child for twenty years. Just say to Xiao Qian...I am busy with official duties and can't spare my time! Wait until the princess's anger subsides." I'll go see her again."

Gong’s mother was slightly startled. Why did these words sound so familiar? Ah, she remembered that when the wife was pregnant with her son, Mother Qiao, who was beside the princess, also came and begged the prince, saying that the princess was not acclimated to the environment and had vomiting and diarrhea, so she asked the prince to go and see the princess. At that time, she felt that the princess must be trying to charm the prince, so she lied that the wife complained of chest pain before going to bed. The prince stayed at the bedside of the wife and only sent a doctor to diagnose the princess. The prince also said the same to Qiao’s mother. of.

 Now, it’s all the other way around! But what if the reverse is true? She will never give up! Does the princess think that everything will be fine if the prince is **** in the palace? dream! The prince belongs to his wife, no one can take it away!

In the flower hall, Xun Feng and Shui Linglong were discussing relief supplies. The south suffered a severe flood this time, with fertile fields destroyed and people displaced. The South-to-West Water Diversion Project and the construction of two dams almost emptied the national treasury. The royalties that the court could allocate were limited, so it mobilized the powerful dignitaries and businessmen to raise donations. As a solid supporter of Concubine Li, Li Jing donated all the money he earned except for necessary operating expenses. For a time, Concubine Li and Li Jing became famous, and they were faintly surpassing Bingbing and the Yao family, especially for the victims of the disaster in the south. I was full of praise for this kind-hearted empress.

"Although we don't participate in the disputes between concubines and powerful people, we still have to respond to the call of the court. What I mean is that donating 30% of the income of World No. 1 Street can just offset part of the tax. Now that you are in charge, these I have to ask your opinion first." Xun Feng analyzed it seriously.

Shui Linglong adjusted her expression and made sure to smile sincerely and gently, "Since it is the call of the imperial court, of course we must respond. Thirty percent is more moderate. We have a family and a family, so we can't compete with Li Jing. Other officials' families are 20% Our income is about 10% more than theirs, which is already pretty good.”

Guo Yan looked at Xun Feng with a smile, raised his hand and said, "Count me in, I have a lot of private money!"

Shui Linglong scolded him, "That should also be charged to the Guo family's account!"

Guo Yan curled his lips, it had nothing to do with the Guo family, he earned it himself! In his previous life, he had watched Xun Feng reorganize the economy, and he had learned more or less from it, and had made a fortune in his shop.

Xun Feng blinked and felt that Guo Yan was looking at him strangely, as if he had something to do with him, but he clearly had nothing to do with him.

Guo Yan saw that his tea cup was empty, and hurriedly stood up to fill it for him. He smiled so flatteringly that it made Xun Feng's heart tremble, "Thank you very much."

Guo Yan chuckled, "I should, I should. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me. Even if Li Jing dares to come to Tianxia No. 1 Street to cause trouble, tell me and I will destroy his shop! Or I will beat him up directly." He won’t be able to get out of bed for three months, let’s see if he still dares to come out and jump around!”

Xun Feng's eyes were full of surprise, and he opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time. Guo Yan was so happy in her heart, she felt that such a cute Xun Feng was so cute! It wouldn't be bad if they could stay like this for the rest of their lives. Although their parents have no hope of remarriage, they don't hate each other and can think about each other. This may be the most perfect situation.

After Guo Yan left, Xun Feng approached Shui Linglong and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, is...General Guo..." He pointed to his head, "Is there something wrong here?"

Poof—Shui Linglong squirted out a sip of tea.

After leaving the flower hall, Shui Linglong returned to Mohe Courtyard. Just as Gong's mother walked towards the second entrance with an angry face, the two met unexpectedly. Gong's mother had previously visited her brother and sister in the name of Guan Qian, so Shui Linglong and She recognized it.

Mother Gong scolded the princess **** in her heart, thinking why she was not tortured to death in Kashgar. It was all her fault because the second master came out for no reason at that time and interfered with her, taking care of her food, drink and medical treatment. Otherwise, she would have starved that vixen to death!

Shui Linglong saw that she was lowering her head and not looking at the road, and was about to hit the sycamore tree at the corner, so she reminded her loudly: "Mother Gong!"

"Oops!" Shui Linglong called her a step too late, but when she turned around, she couldn't see the road and hit a big tree. Mother Gong gasped several times in pain, "Good luck to the Crown Princess!"

 She did something bad with good intentions. Shui Linglong sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Is it okay, Mother Gong? You go to the flower hall and sit for a while, I will ask Doctor Hu to take a look at it for you!"

Mother Gong waved her hands, her face wrinkled due to pain and said: "No need to trouble the Crown Princess, my skin is rough and thick, a small injury will not be a problem." She looked across Shui Linglong and asked expectantly: "No I saw my brother and sister, what were they doing? "

It can be seen that she really cares about her babies. Shui Linglong's eyes softened a bit, "It's time to fall asleep. The two children are very sleepy."

Gong's mother's eyes, which had always been full of anger, finally had a hint of joy when she mentioned the child, "Sleep more, you will grow taller! The eldest lady was quite able to sleep when she was a child. Several times, the slave has finished a piece of embroidery. She is still sleeping soundly."

Mother Gong was not only Shangguan Qian's companion, but also Zhuge Xi's wet nurse. Unfortunately, she gave birth to three daughters in a row, all of whom died of strange illnesses. Her husband's family thought she was an unlucky person, so they forcibly divorced her from the house. Fortunately, Shangguan Qian did not dislike her because of her past, but treated her as before. Keeping the friendship between master and servant in mind, when Shangguan Qian was forced to leave by Shangguan Yan, she followed her without hesitation.

Shui Linglong smiled noncommittally, "Mama Gong, do you want to go sit in the Mohe Courtyard? In half an hour, my brother and sister will wake up."

Mother Gong shook her head and her smile gradually disappeared, "No, Madam is unwell, I have to go back and take care of her quickly." As she said that, an idea flashed in her mind, and the corners of her mouth raised again, "Prince Concubine, please go see Madam with the prince. Come on! If you bring it up, the princess will definitely have nothing to say!"

What does it mean that "the princess will definitely have nothing to say"? Did Leng Youru not allow Zhuge Liuyun to visit Shangguan Qian? Shui Linglong's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, "I will talk to the Crown Prince when he comes back, and then listen to the Crown Prince's opinion."

Mother Gong's eyes dimmed, "Prince Concubine, are you afraid of offending the princess? Don't forget that Madam is the biological mother of the Crown Prince and your serious mother-in-law! When your mother-in-law is sick, as your daughter-in-law, you should serve her at the bedside. , and even if you can't serve your mother-in-law, you should still try your best to think about your mother-in-law!"

Shui Linglong's face suddenly darkened when she heard this, and her tone also darkened, "Is this what Madam meant? Madam asked you to deliberately provoke the princess, asked me to go see her, and asked me to find ways to trap the prince as well, right? ? "If Shangguan Qian is this kind of woman who plays tricks on her mind, it would be very disappointing.

A trace of panic flashed in Mother Gong's eyes, she lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "Slave... I remember that Madam wants to eat Li Ji Yuanbao Crispy. I haven't bought it yet. I have to go first!"

Shui Linglong glanced coldly at her back, which was almost running away, and frowned, this Mother Gong is very problematic!

 But in fact, Gong’s mother did not leave the house immediately. After Shui Linglong walked away, she walked back and went in the direction of the school. She couldn't take the older one away, so she wanted to take the younger one away. She took out candies and coaxed Brother Hao for a while, but unfortunately Brother Hao just didn't buy it. Mother Gong was very angry. What kind of ecstasy soup did Leng Youru, that shameless vixen, pour into her child? Whether it's the Crown Princess or Brother Hao, everyone seems to be on her side. If this continues, how can Madam have a good life?

In the middle of the moon, my brother and sister went to bed. Shui Linglong finished her bath and leaned on the bedside to read. Zhuge Yu came back a little later than usual and looked a little tired.

Shui Linglong put down her book, put on her shoes, walked up to him and started to untie his court clothes, "Are you having a social event?"

Zhuge Yu raised his arms so that she could undress him, "No, I just came back from the general's mansion. As soon as I left the military airport, Uncle Yu was waiting at the door and said that my mother was not feeling well, so I went."

Shui Linglong unbuttoned his belt and placed it on the table nearby, then began to unbutton his clothes, "Is it serious?"

Zhuge Yu frowned slightly and said softly: "It's nothing serious. It's just that the weather suddenly turned cold and the wind chill caused her to cough. She has been suffering from this problem for a long time."

Shui Linglong took off his heavy court clothes and loosened his bun, "Mother Gong came into the house today."

 “What is she doing here?” The tone was not very good.

Shui Linglong's pupils moved, and she said with a normal expression: "Oh, it means that my mother was not feeling well, and she asked my father to go and have a look. Then my mother and concubine seemed to disagree, so she asked me to convince my father. I said I would wait until you come back to ask. did you mean."

A cold light flashed through Zhuge Yu's obsidian eyes, "Ignore her! From now on, you will ignore whatever she says. I have arranged a maid for my mother. If anything happens, I will call Anping to inform you."

He didn't seem to like Mother Gong very much. Shui Linglong nodded, "Well, I understand. You can go take a shower."

But Zhuge Yu hugged her slender waist, lowered his head and kissed her soft red lips, then opened the skirt of her clothes, buried his head in it, tasted it carefully, and said vaguely: "Sister, I haven't weaned you yet." What, huh?"

Shui Linglong's face blushed slightly, and she pushed his head away with both hands, "Go take a shower quickly, there is hot water!"

Zhuge Yu narrowed his eyes slyly, and then picked her up when she was not prepared, "I will serve my wife to take a bath for my husband!"

 “Alas—you—”

boom! The door was closed, and a moment later there was the sound of water splashing and murmurs...

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and a dark shadow was strangely far away from the maple forest, and it "lurked" towards Qingyouyuan very vigilantly. At the gate of the yard, one of the gatekeepers went to the toilet, and another one was yawning. He picked up a stone and threw it into the distance. The woman was instantly alert and asked, "Who?" She walked over there and took a look. She didn't see anyone coming back to guard the door. Little did she know that the shadow had already slipped into Qingyouyuan.

He effortlessly felt under the window sill of Leng Youru's room and gently pushed open the window. He poked his head in and turned around to make sure there was no potential danger, then tiptoed over the window sill. Unexpectedly, there was a short strip hanging under the window sill. stool! Just enough for him to step on, otherwise, he would have to fall again!

He stepped on the low stool to the ground and groped his way to the bed like a little thief. When he smelled the familiar fragrance of orchid, he smiled knowingly, took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.

Leng Youru turned over. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
