First Concubine

Chapter 264 A warm family (4)

Sister stretched out her little arms and said, "Great-grandmother, give me a hug!"

 The old lady was overjoyed and held her sister on her lap. When she was first born, she was a little bigger than a mouse and there was no hope of being able to feed her. The old lady looked at Shui Linglong with a smile and said with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, my child! Thank you! Thank you for making Xiao Yu so good, raising the children so well, and taking good care of the entire Zhuge family. !”

"It's me who should say thank you." I never dreamed that my husband's family would be so harmonious. There were frame-ups and quarrels, but in the end, people's hearts defeated the madness. Along the way, what touched me the most was the husband's deep love and old age. Taijun is tolerant regardless of the consequences. Shui Linglong held Zhuge Yu's hand and just thought about going on like this in this life.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhuge Yu took the children to the backyard to set off fireworks. The children had a great time, and even Brother Hao’s face was dyed with a bright smile by the gorgeous color.

When the time was approaching, Zhuge Yu hugged the children and went with Shui Linglong to the secret room of the study to worship Nuo Min... Lying on the bed, Zhuge Yu kissed Shui Linglong's hand and said softly: "After the new year, I will send grandma back, Take my mother back to the capital by the way."

Shui Linglong found a comfortable position in his arms and said lazily: "Are you sure there is nothing else?"

 Zhuge Yu cleared his throat, "Why can't I hide anything from you?"

Shui Linglong smiled and said nothing, waiting for him to finish speaking. Zhuge Yu changed his tone to a lighter tone, "Didn't I tell you last time that something happened in the temple?"

“Well, what’s wrong?” Shui Linglong asked seriously.

"This starts with our Kashgar Qing belief. A thousand years ago, there were two big kingdoms in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one was the Northern Qi and the other was the Great Xia. The Northern Qi was led by the Helian family, and the Great Xia was led by the Zhuge family. Among them, , the country of Daxia was composed of two tribes - Kashgar Qing and Mobei. Later, the two tribes split, and then they went their own way. Compared with Kashgar Qing, Mobei has a vast territory, sufficient resources, and a prosperous population. Therefore, Mobei has developed better than Kashgar Qing, but the reason why Mobei did not annex Kashgar Qing is that according to our Kashgar Qing, the Nuwa Temple is within the territory of Kashgar, and Nuwa has blessed all the people of Kashgar."

Shui Linglong blinked, "As for the temple, can't you build one yourself?"

Zhuge Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Yes, but there is no sacred fire built by myself, so I cannot pray for the country and the people. The Shangguan family has always chosen to send thousands of gold to protect the temple. In fact, it is to protect the sacred fire."

Shui Linglong only asked doubtfully: "What then?"

Zhuge Yu frowned and said in confusion: "Then not long ago, the holy fire suddenly went out, and even the investigation could not find out the reason."

Shui Linglong’s eyes widened, “Can’t you light it up again?”

Zhuge Yu nodded, "Okay, the key is how to do it. That thing is very mysterious. The last time I sneaked into the forbidden area, I was almost burned to death by it. But it didn't burn me to death. I guess it has started to weaken since then. ”

Shui Linglong was heartbroken when she heard this, "How could you do such a dangerous thing?"

Zhuge Yu k Nationality. This group of people, it’s true! Grandma cries every day, you don’t know, her crying ability is better than the old lady. Oh, let me think about it, there is something flammable, I sneak into the forbidden area and light the sacred fire again. superior!"

Shui Linglong hugged his strong waist tightly, "Zhuge Yu, you are running around here and there. We gather less and separate more. When will we end?"

Zhuge Yu looked at her angry look and laughed, "Have you fallen in love with me? Really? Really?"

Shui Linglong turned over and gave him a small butt. Zhuge Yu patted her chubby little butt, bit her ear and said, "You can't bear to leave, right? One day is like three autumns after not seeing each other, right? Hey! This is what I want! This time, I have to be here I'll stay in Kashgar for a year and a half, and when you miss me so much that you burst into tears, I'll come back!"

Shui Linglong picked up the pillow and threw it at him, "How dare you!"

Zhuge Yu kissed her blushing cheek and said, "I dare, but I can't bear it."

Shui Linglong closed her eyes and ignored him, but Zhuge Yu gently took off her bellyband. She stiffened, "What are you doing?"

 “Linglong, give me another child!”

After the Lantern Festival, Zhuge Yu submitted a memorial to Yunli about returning to Kashgar for celebration. Yunli approved it, and Zhuge Yu took the old lady and stepped onto the carriage. Zhuge Liuyun was reluctant to leave his mother, and also submitted a letter to the court, hoping to allow the Zhenbei Palace to move back to Kashgar. Yunli did not refuse immediately, but approved: to be considered. Compared to the Supreme Emperor's ruthless determination, Yun Li was indeed much gentler.

In February, Leng Youru entered the preparation stage for giving birth, and the whole palace became nervous. After Shui Linglong approved the account books, she began to count the equipment in the delivery room. While counting, she said: "This wooden basin is not good, it is a bit irritating, please replace it; With this set of clothes, it is a bit thicker; I have to prepare a millet pillow for the child to sleep on... I changed the recipe this month, removed the wild mountain chrysanthemum and replaced it with king oyster mushroom, voila..." As he said this, his stomach tumbled, and Shui Linglong bowed. He pointed his body into the spittoon and vomited wildly. Breakfast was in vain again.

Mother Zhong stroked her back distressedly and said, "Can you take a break? She was born on February 27th. It's only the second day of February. Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"

Shui Linglong straightened up and was about to speak, but she was shaken again and vomited. Zhi Busian handed over a glass of warm water and said blankly: "The young master and the young lady didn't seem to vomit so much when they were pregnant."

After Shui Linglong finished vomiting, all the strength in her body seemed to have been drained, and she kept breaking into a cold sweat. She rinsed her mouth and leaned back on the chair. It took a long time to calm down, "The princess is an advanced maternal age and has suffered from hemorrhage. The risk is too great. Buy all the best blood-replenishing herbs, and the princess must eat two meals of blood swallows a day.”

The key is that she doesn't understand what Xun Feng said about blood type testing, blood transfusion treatment, etc. If Leng Youru suffers from a hemorrhagic collapse, the probability of survival according to her age and body... is really not optimistic. Opening the drawer and looking at the scalpels that had to be cleaned every day, she took a deep breath.

At this time, Liu Lu opened the curtain and came in, "Miss, why haven't you gone out yet?"

"Going out?" Shui Linglong pressed her dizzy head, "Should I go out today?"

Mother Zhong and Zhifan looked at each other, and then Mother Zhong slapped her thigh hard, "Oh! Today is the day when the fifth aunt and Grandma Dong Jia are getting married. Look, we have all forgotten! The banquet is at Dong Jia's house tonight. Listen. The emperor and the queen are also going to attend the ceremony! Grandma Wu is so lucky to be married to such a happy man!"

Zhi Fan echoed: "It seems that the concubine has also been allowed to go together. This wedding is probably unprecedented and will never happen again."

Liu Lu curled her lips and said, "Is such a big pomp really good?"

 “Prince Concubine, the second young lady wishes to see you.” Outside the door, a report from the maid suddenly came.

Shui Linglong said in the usual tone: "Please come in, Second Young Mistress."

When Qiao Hui came in, she was holding a rectangular brocade box in her hand. She smiled and greeted Shui Linglong, "Sister-in-law, are you a little overjoyed?"

Shui Linglong welcomed her to the official chair and sat down. Liu Lu presented her with two cups of red bean paste. Shui Linglong held the cups in her hands and sighed with a smile: "It's the same as before."

"That's really hard, sister-in-law. Everyone in the house is pregnant, but you are the most unhappy this time. Look at you, you have lost weight again." After finishing speaking with a sigh, Qiao Hui suddenly couldn't speak the next words.

Shui Linglong looked at her worried look and asked, "If you have anything to do, just tell my sister-in-law."

Qiao Hui touched her five-and-a-half-month-old belly, with a troubled expression on her face, "Logically speaking, the people sent by our government to watch the ceremony this time should be me and the prince. After all, the prince has to accompany the princess at all times when she is pregnant, and you are in the first three months of pregnancy." Yue, it is not suitable to travel, but..." After a pause, his face became very ugly, Mother Zhong, Liu Lu and Zhi Fan retreated knowingly, Qiao Hui bit her lip and said: "It just happened that Prince Xun mentioned Dong Jialin. As a concubine, this... the prince is going to be very angry! He thinks that Dong Jialin will also go, so he... doesn't want to go to the banquet. "

At this juncture, Dong Jialin was mentioned as the concubine. Who said that he didn't want to take the opportunity to win over A Jue? Sometimes, a thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest. Even though Ah Jue is only a third-grade servant, under certain circumstances, he can play an unexpected role. Xun Feng is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals.

Shui Linglong raised her smile and said, "Oh, Lingqing is my sister. I was planning to go. You put the gift here and I will convey my feelings to you and the prince later."

Qiao Hui felt relieved, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

After Qiao Hui left, Shui Linglong glanced at the hourglass on the wall, covered her face with her sleeves and yawned, "Change clothes, it's getting late."
