First Concubine

Chapter 261: A warm family(1)

Chapter 261 A warm family (1)

The Queen Mother looked at Shui Linglong and said with a pleasant look: "The Crown Prince has made great contributions to assisting the Queen. I will accompany you to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I will receive many rewards from you."

Shui Linglong followed the Queen Mother back to the bedroom. As soon as she entered the door, the Queen Mother could no longer hold up and fell to the ground. Shui Linglong turned pale in shock, knelt down and half-hugged the Queen Mother into her arms, "The Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother spat out a mouthful of black blood and asked weakly: "Linglong, how shall I treat you?" Her voice was too weak to be heard.

Shui Linglong wiped the blood from the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, and replied with her eyes fixed: "The Queen Mother treats Linglong well." Although Eunuch Zhang used coercion and inducement to Shui Hangge and forced her to marry into the Prince's Mansion, he never really harmed her.

The Queen Mother coughed, and blood spilled out again. She squeezed Shui Linglong's hand with her remaining strength, and gasped: "I know...the Supreme Emperor...has done something that I'm sorry to...the Zhuge family and the Leng family...Youru is my cousin. , I feel...I feel bad...but what makes me feel even worse is...he did this...all for you...and your mother..."

Shui Linglong's heart was shocked, Queen Mother...what do you mean?

"I... just found out not long ago that... Nuomin... Before marrying your father, Nuomin... had a relationship with the Supreme Emperor... The reality of the couple... Nuomin gave birth to a daughter, but somehow she was poisoned by the Zhuge family's unique poison... and died. The... The Supreme Emperor... decided that it was the Zhuge family who did it... so he wanted to take revenge on the Zhuge family... take revenge on Kashgar Qing... Ahem..." Blood flowed out of the Queen Mother's mouth like a column of water, "But Linglong, you... maybe you... are that child... "

Shui Linglong shook her head, "Impossible!"

 The Queen Mother lowered her hands feebly, "Maybe...the truth...has become an unsolvable mystery...with the death of Nuomin..."

Shui Linglong’s pupils moved, “My father is Shui Hangge!”

The Queen Mother said weakly: "No matter what, you...you just want to keep...keep...his...blood...send...Xiao Qi, Eleven and Twelve...to the desert for the sake of...your mother...and the Supreme Emperor's friendship..." Bei! Promise me...you, promise, me!"

How similar is this scene to the previous life? But Shui Linglong didn't agree in her previous life. In this life... Shui Linglong nodded with tears in her eyes. The Queen Mother smiled contentedly in Shui Linglong's arms and closed her eyes, "Also, I also went to Mobei together... Tell the third princess for me that I will come back to see her when I have time..."

The breeze rises, dark clouds cover the sky, and a star falls in the sky...

The next day, there was news that the Queen Mother rushed to Mobei with several princes overnight. Because she was leaving in a hurry, she did not say goodbye to Yunli and the third princess. The third princess was angry for a long time. At the same time, Concubine Li's persecution of the emperor and the queen mother was made known to the world. Concubine Li was beheaded in public, all the men of the Li family were beheaded, and the women and children were exiled to the bitter cold places in the east. Shui Lingxi married Li Jing, so she could not escape death. However, Li Jing divorced Shui Lingxi before the imperial edict was issued. In this way, Shui Lingxi had nothing to do with the Li family, so there was no need to go to the east.

Shui Linglong did not delve into what the Queen Mother told Shui Linglong, nor did she tell Zhuge Yu. Since she couldn't find the answer anyway, why bother herself? Shui Linglong understands what to keep in mind in just a few decades of life.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is December, and every household is busy. Shui Linglong ordered people to decorate the palace, hung red lanterns on the corridors, planted money oranges on the roadside, and sent many flowers to various courtyards. Paintings and New Year’s goods. After doing this, Shui Linglong thought about making winter clothes for the masters in the house and buying some fireworks.

Shui Linglong called Liulu and Zhifan, and took her brother, sister and brother Hao to the palace's carriage and went to the No. 1 Street in the World. Although without Xun Feng, the operation of World No. 1 Street has been greatly affected, Shui Linglong and Guo Yan worked together, and most of the business has stabilized.

 “Wow!” Sister opened the curtains with her white and tender hands, and couldn’t help but exclaimed when she saw the busy traffic and numerous shops outside. When she shouted like this, my brother couldn't sit still anymore. He stood on Liulu's legs and opened the curtains. Only then did he realize that the scenery outside was very different from that of the palace. Everything was moving!

 “Giggle…” He laughed out loud, very excited. The elder sister noticed that his voice was louder than her own, so she snorted unconvinced and screamed again at the top of her lungs. Then, the elder brother also increased his volume and screamed...

Shui Linglong and the others laughed from ear to ear. While laughing, Shui Linglong noticed with sharp eyes that Brother Hao was a little out of place. Brother Hao should be happy to finally go out, but he drooped his head and kept playing with the jade pendant and tassels hanging from his waist, thinking a lot. Shui Linglong handed a piece of coconut milk red bean cake to Brother Hao, "Brother Hao, what are you thinking about? Can you talk to Jin Jin?"

Brother Hao glanced at the pastry that he usually loved so much but now didn't even bother to take a bite, and remained silent. Shui Linglong put the cake back on the plate, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, held his hand again, and asked gently: "Do you miss your father?"

Mu Hua is Xun Feng, and everyone in the capital probably knows it, but Leng Youru is afraid that Brother Hao will not get it out of his mind, so she has been trying to hide it, but the six-year-old child said it is not big or small, and his father is traveling He has not returned yet, and his mother has never returned to her parents' home. He can feel something strange more or less. Seeing that he didn't answer, Shui Linglong didn't push him anymore.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the No. 1 Street in the World. Everyone got off the carriage. Zhi Fan hugged his sister, Liu Lu held his brother, and Shui Linglong held his brother Hao. The group walked into the first shop. . This is a maternal and infant store that specializes in selling maternal and infant daily necessities, clothing and children's toys. The area is not large, but the layout is clever. There are two doors from the outside to the inside, with a total of three rooms. Shui Linglong was a regular customer, and the shopkeeper personally received her, "Oh, why is the Crown Princess free to come to my shop today?"

Shui Linglong smiled slightly and said, "Go out to do some New Year shopping and customize some winter clothes for the house."

The shopkeeper looked at the child next to Shui Linglong and said with a smile: "This must be my cousin!" There was a hint of inquiry in the smile.

Brother Hao is sensitive by nature, even Shui Linglong couldn't tell the clues, but he frowned in disgust. The shopkeeper's smile froze when he met his wary and repulsive gaze.

Shui Linglong touched Brother Hao's head and said, "Yeah." She didn't say much.

The shopkeeper looked at his sister and brother again, "Young master and young lady, right? Just like my cousin, they are both handsome!" As he said that, he turned around and took a handful of candies from the financial room and put them into the hands of each of the three children.

 Brother smiled happily. The sister pouted her lips, not liking it very much, but she still smiled in a dignified manner. Only Brother Hao loosened his hand and the candy fell to the ground. The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed, and Shui Linglong took a deep look at Brother Hao. Brother Hao was so numb that he squatted down and picked up the candy in his hand, and said: "It's so cold, my hands are frozen. "

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Prince Princess, you can take a look at it as you like!"

Shui Linglong smiled and nodded, "Shopkeeper Wen, please go and do some work while I hang out with the children."

After the shopkeeper left, Shui Linglong led a group of people into the third room, opened the curtain and saw Yao Xin and Jin Jue standing next to the shelves selecting cotton baby suits.

Jinju touched the pink suit with a crescent moon embroidered on it and couldn't hide her joy as she said, "Oh, this is beautiful! Children's things are so cute! How about we also buy a pink suit?"

Yao Xin touched the pink one and then the blue one, hesitantly.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, with strong surprise flashing in her eyes. She looked at Yao Xin's belly. The winter clothes were too thick and did not show her pregnancy, but Yao Xin did what almost every pregnant woman would do: touch her belly from time to time. So... Yao Xin is pregnant? If so, this child must be Xun Feng’s!

While Shui Linglong was thinking about it, Brother Hao beside her ran towards Yao Xin and said, "Mother!" He said abruptly, with a hint of excitement.

Yao Xin and Jin Jue turned sideways in surprise at the same time. Here, Brother Hao had already come to her, raised his little face and said, "Mother." Although they had only been together for a short time, he didn't get used to it very well, but there was a recognition in his heart. Know: This is his father’s wife and his aunt.

Yao Xin looked at him first, then quickly cast her gaze behind her, trembling her long eyelashes, and said, "Prince Princess, are you... coming to go shopping too?"

Shui Linglong smiled and nodded, and glanced at her belly openly, "It's been more than two months, right?"

"Yeah." Yao Xin did not deny it, but was not willing to talk more. She lowered her eyes, touched Brother Hao's shoulder, and said softly: "It seems that he has grown taller."

Brother Hao asked: "Mom, when will you go back to your hometown?"

Yao Xin was stunned for a moment and looked at Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong shook her head at her, and she realized that Brother Hao didn't know what happened to Xun Feng yet, "It's coming soon."

Shui Linglong walked to Yao Xin, put the pink clothes in her hand back on the shelf, and picked up a set of blue baby clothes, "This is more suitable."

“Mom, why are you out shopping in such a cold weather? Your hands are all red from the cold, look!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll just buy some toys and clothes for your sixth sister. You’ve been chattering all the way, aren’t you tired?”

 Clear voices of conversation came from the second room, and then, the bead curtain swayed, and Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows. They were really enemies on a narrow road.

Shui Lingxi took Qin Fangyi's arm and walked into the maternal and child store. The Li family's incident caused a storm in the city. She was lucky enough to escape a punishment and was even said to be "miraculous". She married twice, and each time she was... Something happened to her husband and she left the marriage, which ended badly. To put it mildly, it was because she was unlucky; to put it worst, it was because she had a fate that was against her husband. She was under a lot of pressure to go out in such a complicated "situation".

Beside the shelves, several women saw Shui Lingxi walking in. They laughed a few times and started gossiping. A woman with beautiful features in green pointed at Shui Lingxi and said, "Hey, did you see that? That's the Shui family." The second young lady, the former crown prince’s concubine, the concubine of the Crown Prince of Xun Mansion, and the legitimate wife of the Young Master of the Li family, is quite beautiful.”

The woman in blue next to her said disapprovingly: "What's the use of being beautiful? If you don't make your husband prosperous, you'll still be a poor husband. Whoever marries him will be unlucky. Fortunately, our prince didn't marry her. Otherwise, wouldn't the great Zhou Dynasty be destroyed?"

The woman in green hid her face and laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking, "According to me, she is really thick-skinned. She should not have discussed marriage after she was divorced by the prince earlier, and she should always be with him after she reconciled with Prince Xun. Qingdeng, she's married to the son of the Li family again! No wonder God doesn't like this kind of free-spirited woman. I really feel sorry for Prince Xun. If he didn't have a relationship with her, Prince Xun wouldn't be involved in stealing treasures. case."

The woman in blue nodded like a fool, "Yes, yes, I heard that the former Concubine De was caught by the Queen Mother after she put things in her car. She was a disaster, and whoever got in trouble would be unlucky! Prince Xun married Miss Yao is not like this. The emperor ordered the case to be re-examined, and it is hoped that Prince Xun will be redressed!"

The woman in green raised the handkerchief in her hand, "I think it's better for Prince Concubine Shui. Prince Zhuge was such a **** in the past. Ever since he met Prince Concubine, his whole person has been completely transformed. Now when Prince Zhuge is discussed in the capital, everyone is in high spirits. ”

The woman in blue nodded again, "Yes, yes, and the imperial concubine can give birth to two babies. Shui Lingxi has been married twice, and she hasn't even had a bubble in her stomach."

 …

Shui Lingxi's face turned green with anger. She really wanted to rush over and scold them. Qin Fangyi grabbed her wrist and whispered: "Why are you so anxious? The streets are full of such discussions now. You teach them a lesson one by one." , can you teach them a lesson? Let me tell you, the more they talk nonsense, the higher your attitude will be to despise them! Make them realize what it means to be a "clown"!

The truth is that since her daughter was ill and unable to marry the prince, she had heard such rumors from time to time. At first, she was very angry and had quarreled with people. In the end, instead of blocking those people's mouths, she actually asked them to spread it. The pain got worse, and over time, she became helpless and became a habit. It really went in one ear and out the other.

Shui Lingxi glared at those people angrily, and opened the curtain with Qin Fangyi to enter the house. As soon as she entered, she saw Shui Linglong and Yao Xin chatting happily. Sister and brother were running after Brother Hao, Zhi Fan and Liu Lu was busy and sweating profusely...

Shui Lingxi could not help but think of four words in her mind - happy and happy. Her heart twitched inexplicably, especially when she saw Yao Xinming Jinji taking a blue baby suit, a strong feeling of jealousy came over her.

Yao Xin is pregnant! Forget it about Shui Linglong, after all, she has been married to Zhuge Yu for so long, but Yao Xin and Xun Feng have only been together for ten or twenty days, so why do they have children? Counting Xun Feng and Li Jing, she had been married for two years, and there was no movement at all! How could God be so unfair? No, Shui Linglong’s happiness is also very hateful! She is a concubine, and she is a legitimate daughter. Why should a concubine be happier than she is? These two women are so annoying!

“Mom, second sister, what a coincidence?” Shui Linglong said hello lightly.

Qin Fangyi walked over with a smile on her face, "Yes, what a coincidence. Your sixth sister can memorize some "Three Character Classic" when she is more than two years old. I will buy her something to reward her. I didn't expect you and Miss Yao... Oh, Mrs. Xun They’re all here.”

Whether Yao Xincheng admits it or not, she is nominally Xun Feng's wife and is pregnant with Xun Feng's child. She wants to reconcile with Xun Feng, but Xun Feng doesn't show up. Who should she find to write the letter of letting go? Yao Xin responded politely: "Mrs. Shui, Miss Shui."

Shui Lingxi raised a smile that would captivate the whole country, and the color in the room was instantly taken away, "Mrs. Xun."

Shui Linglong called the three children over to greet Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingxi. The three children stood in a row politely and saluted one by one. Brother Hao and Brother Hao didn't have much reaction. They were the same as others, but it was Sister who picked up the candied haws in Zhifan's hand and licked it all over, then handed it to Shui Lingxi, "It's delicious, here it is."

Shui Lingxi looked at the candied haws covered in her sister's saliva and felt that it was neither a pick nor a pick.

Sister stood up on tiptoes with a smile, opened the purse around Shui Lingxi's waist, and stuffed the candied haws into it, "You're welcome."

Shui Lingxi looked at the exquisite object that she had spent ten days embroidering. In the blink of an eye, it was stained by the saliva of Tanghu Lu and this little girl. She was already in a bad mood and became more and more panicked, but the other person was a child. With a one-and-a-half-year-old child, what could I care about with her? She forced a smile and replied: "Thank you, thank you, nephew, daughter, son!"

 The sister giggled, she was pure and cute, and she was innocent.

Qin Fangyi smiled and distributed red envelopes to the children, and everyone thanked them happily. The sister took the red envelopes in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Fangyi's purple gold and ruby ​​necklace. After a long while, she stretched out her soft jade fingers and pointed at Yao Xin. A pearl flower on the head, "beautiful."

Shui Linglong was slightly startled. Did this child interact with people too much today?

 Yao Xin took off the beaded flower and put it on her sister’s hair. “It’s an honor to be praised by my sister! I’ll give it to my sister as a gift.”

“Thank you!” Sister said with a smile, then pointed to the purple gold and ruby ​​necklace around Qin Fangyi’s neck, “It’s beautiful.”

 …

Qin Fangyi walked out of the shop in disgrace, vowing to avoid Shui Linglong's daughter whenever she saw her in the future! Is this kid here to collect debt? She dressed up very elegantly today, just because she didn't want to be looked down upon! Who would have expected...who would have expected...Qin Fangyi looked down at her empty wrist, thinking about the missing earrings, and felt so painful that she wished she didn't go out today. After getting on the carriage, he found that Shui Lingxi had not followed, so he asked the maid beside him: "Where is the second young lady?"

The maid replied: "I went to the toilet."

It would have been better to wait where she was, but when she thought of her sister, with that innocent smile on her face, constantly squeezing her in disguise, Qin Fangyi felt a little creepy, as if she had seen a debt collector! Squeezing the handkerchief in her hand, Qin Fangyi gasped and said, "Stop the carriage in the alley next to it and wait for the second lady."

On the other side, Shui Linglong and Yao Xin finished shopping and checked out of the maternal and child store. Zhi Fan and Liu Lu carried their brother and sister up first, followed closely by brother Hao. After Shui Linglong paid the bill, she discussed the street's operating conditions with the shopkeeper and told Yao Xin some pregnancy knowledge.
