First Concubine

Chapter 265 The Fall of the Ren Emperor (1)

Dong Jia's residence was full of distinguished guests. Ah Jue, wearing a bright red wedding dress, shuttled through the Huibin Pavilion, chatting and laughing with all the distinguished guests. Young and promising, he lost the humility caused by his poverty and was filled with self-confidence and calmness. At the door of Huibin Pavilion, Shui Linglong gave him the gift from the Zhenbei Palace, and he thanked him happily, "Thank you, eldest sister, for coming to my and Qing'er's wedding. I can be where I am today, thanks to eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law's care. If there is any use for me in the future, my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law will definitely speak up, and I will never be stingy or refuse anything I can do!”

Shui Linglong took a deep look at his expression and found no dodge in his eyes. She felt a little relieved and said, "Being kind to Qing'er is a way of repaying your brother-in-law and me."

Ah Jue bowed his hands and said seriously: "Yes, I remember. Qing'er waiting for me for so many years and marrying me is a blessing I couldn't ask for, and I will cherish it."

Shui Linglong looked past Ah Jue and said inadvertently: "Aunt Dong Jia, oh, no, Dong Jia's concubine is here too? Where is she? I just happened to go to say congratulations to her."

Ah Jue's eyes dimmed slightly, "She just went to see her cousin. There is no need to congratulate or not. This is her own choice. I hope she won't regret it. If it hurts the reputation of the palace, I will apologize to the eldest sister on her behalf!"

Shui Linglong twitched the corners of her lips and pointed out something else: "That's all, she is her, you are you, and you are my brother-in-law. I will never be separated from you because of an outsider."

These words were stinging, but at the same time they also reminded Ah Jue to make a choice between Shui Lingqing and Dong Jialin. Dong Jialin dared to help Xun Feng frame up Shangguan Qian and the elderly and pregnant princess like Xun Feng did. Is there anything terrible that can’t be done? Dong Jialin's kindness and Qiao Hui's kindness are not of the same type. Dong Jialin is bound by morality and law, and she wants to work hard to be a woman who conforms to the times and is recognized by everyone. If everyone recognizes her, everything will be fine for her; if she does not recognize her, she will rebel after a long time. In order to step into the circle of upper class society and to pursue her love, she would rather commit herself to Prince An as his concubine. This shows that she is a person who will work hard to the end if she sets her sights on the goal.

Shui Linglong said goodbye to Ajue and went to Shui Lingqing’s new house. In the new house, Shui Lingqing was sitting in the middle of the bed wearing a bright red Xia Pei, with a heavy phoenix crown inlaid with east pearls on her head, and golden tassels hanging on both sides of her cheeks. When the sun shone, it shone brightly. Shui Lingyue felt extremely unbalanced when she saw that the daughter of a lowly concubine who had been bullied by her so much that she dared not even cry had transformed into a famous minister's wife. She and Shui Lingxi had the highest status, but ended up having the worst life. Shui Lingyu's boring melon both gave birth to a son and made a lot of money. But what about her? Staying all alone in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, without a man or an heir! Glancing at Shui Lingxi, who had become an abandoned wife for her second marriage, she felt that God was still treating her well. Thinking like this, a smile appeared on her face, "Fifth sister, congratulations, you have now become the wife of the Vice Minister. You have the authority to hand the sign to the Queen, please remember to come see me when you have time."

Shui Lingqing has not forgotten that Shui Lingyue promised to be nice to her before, but then turned around and slapped her in the face. Shui Lingqing smiled politely and said, "I understand, Concubine."

Shui Lingyue hated the title of "concubine" and was old-fashioned, but she still smiled happily because she had not forgotten how she got the opportunity to watch the ceremony and what purpose she planned to achieve by watching the ceremony. "Among us sisters, the eldest sister and the fifth sister are the best married. I used to be blind, but after experiencing so many things, I understand that the eldest sister is a truly blessed person. Who among us wants to live a good life? They all have to be blessed by the eldest sister, what do you think?”

Shui Lingxi said with a smile: "What the fourth sister means is that the Queen Mother and the Queen in the palace are no longer blessed people. I wonder what the Queen Mother will think if this word reaches her ears."

Shui Lingyue's face changed slightly. At this time, Shui Linglong walked in slowly. Shui Lingyue gave Shui Lingxi a weak look, then stood up quickly, walked to Shui Linglong's side, held her arm affectionately, and sat down. Arriving at the Grand Master's chair opposite the bed, "As mentioned, Cao Cao is here. It's a coincidence that eldest sister is here."

Shui Lingyue and she were incompatible in the boudoir. Why do you treat her so intimately today? Shui Linglong brushed off Shui Lingyue's hand without leaving a trace, stood up and sat next to Shui Lingqing. Without asking what they were talking about about her, she said to Shui Lingqing: "Qing'er, congratulations."

Shui Lingqing blushed and leaned on Shui Linglong's shoulder, too shy to speak.

Shui Linglong held Shui Lingqing’s hand and asked softly: “Have you read the book I asked someone to bring to you?”

 The book is, of course, a complete collection of sexual **** skills. She was afraid that Shui Lingqing would not understand it, so Shui Linglong also made detailed annotations. Shui Lingqing's face was so red that she was about to bleed, and she said in a voice as weak as a mosquito's hum: "Well, look... take a look... a little bit..."

Shui Linglong looked at her "silent" appearance like a little rabbit, and smiled narrowly, "A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. He has three days of wedding leave, so there is no need to be too polite."

“Ah! Sister!” Shui Lingqing really wanted to dig a hole and get in.

Shui Lingyue looked at the eldest sister and the fifth sister teasing each other, and seemed to understand why she was so miserable in high places, alas! You reap what you sow!

A few people chatted for a while, and it was not until the maid outside urged that the banquet was about to begin that Shui Linglong and his party got up and left.

When she crossed the threshold, Shui Lingxi wanted to walk at the front again like she did before she left the palace. This time, Shui Linglong did her best to cross the threshold before her. She turned back and said with a smile: "Second sister has been married twice. , How come you still don’t understand the rules?”

Shui Lingxi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but what could she say? In terms of teeth order, Shui Linglong is the eldest sister; in terms of identity, Shui Linglong is the Crown Princess! Not knowing what she thought of, Shui Lingxi's eyes flashed and she smiled happily.

After Shui Lingxi left, Shui Lingyue called to Shui Linglong at the corner of the corridor, "Sister, don't blame the younger sister for being too worried. You'd better be careful with the second elder sister."

Shui Linglong took a deep look at Shui Lingyue, thanked her and walked away. Regardless of whether Shui Lingyue reminded her or not, she would always be careful about Shui Lingxi. She had not forgotten the scene at the maternal and child store where she and Yao Xin almost died under the horse's hooves. A woman with no martial arts skills who uses embroidery needles, hates her and Yao Xin at the same time, and has appeared nearby, well, no matter how you think about it, Shui Lingxi is very suspicious! Of course, Shui Lingyue's sudden show of kindness to her was somewhat beyond her expectation, so she didn't know what Shui Lingyue was up to.

As soon as Shui Linglong left, Si Xi asked inexplicably: "Madam, the second young lady really wants to harm my eldest aunt?"

Shui Lingyue raised her orchid fingers and touched the beaded flowers on her bun. Her eyes were no longer as flattering as before, and there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes, "How do I know if Shui Lingxi wants to harm Shui Linglong? I'm just here. It's just a bet! If Shui Lingxi is harmed, Shui Linglong will naturally remember my favor; if Shui Lingxi is not harmed, be careful and sail the boat for ten thousand years. I just reminded Shui Linglong to be careful and didn't sow discord. In short, it won't do any harm to me. of."

Si Xi said something like he didn’t understand. Shui Lingyue frowned, "Tsk! Forget it, Shui Linglong is suspected of being seriously ill. If I try to persuade her, it might be counterproductive! Come here."

Si Xi handed it to his ear, Shui Lingyue covered her mouth with the back of her hand and whispered a few instructions. Si Xi's eyes widened, he looked around and then asked nervously: "Will he be discovered?"

Of course there are risks, but Shui Lingyue will not tell Si Xi this. When the general asked the soldiers to charge into battle, did he say "you have a half chance of dying" or "believe that you will definitely win"? Shui Lingyue looked at Si Xi, her eyes flashing as she said, "Can't you be more careful? This is the Vice Minister's Mansion, they don't dare to mess around."

  Si Xi had to bite the bullet and respond.

“Hey, isn’t this the famous lady Shui Lingxi in the capital? She actually has the nerve to hang around?”

As soon as Shui Lingxi arrived at the door of Huibin Pavilion, she met a group of wealthy people. In view of her unusual history, everyone looked at her with gloating eyes. Among them, the most unbearable one was undoubtedly the one who was once Shui Lingxi slapped Guo Rong, and the sarcastic words just came from her mouth.

Shui Lingxi raised her head and looked at the group of followers who used to surround her but were now led by Guo Rong, and sneered in her heart. When Guo Rong saw Shui Lingxi not answering, she took a step forward and said casually: "Feng Shui has changed, Shui Lingxi, you are also today? I wonder who is the watchdog now? Ah, I remembered it. You're not even a watchdog, your awesome brother is still in the cell!"

"You..." Shui Lingxi turned livid with anger and turned to leave, but Guo Rong grabbed her arm, "What, are you afraid? Where did your arrogance go? You were abandoned by a man twice, and You feel dirty and shameless, so you can’t see anyone anymore, right?”

Shui Lingxi became so angry that she wanted to slap her to death. In fact, after looking around with her sharp eyes, she did so.

Snapped! A crisp slap suddenly sounded at the door of the courtyard, like a firecracker exploding, which made the hearts of all the girls tremble! Shui Lingxi must be crazy. How dare she hit Guo Rong? Guo Rong is the sister-in-law of the third princess. It is no exaggeration to say that even the palace concubine has to give her some respect. How can an abandoned woman who has been played by men twice find the courage to slap her?

Guo Rong raised her hand and slapped Shui Lingxi back hard, "Do you think you are still the former unofficial crown princess? You don't know what you mean, but you dare to slap the crown princess of Guangping Marquis Mansion. Today I will show you some color." Look!" After saying that, he slapped him again.

Shui Lingxi was hit again, and her cheeks on both sides were swollen. She was like a ferocious beast whose tail had been stepped on. She threw herself at Guo Rong with both arms and struggled with him.

Guo Rong actually only wanted to bully Shui Lingxi and didn't think Shui Lingxi had the courage to fight back. Just like when she was bullied by Shui Lingxi when the Guo family was in decline, she could only grit her teeth and swallow the bitter water. So, now that Shui Lingxi was ruthless, she was a little afraid. Once people are afraid, they will fall behind. Sure enough, within two rounds, Shui Lingxi pinned Guo Rong to the ground. Wu Lian'er and Lu Yiyi tried to break up the fight, but they were kicked up and down by Shui Lingxi or Guo Rong.

When the third princess took Yao Xin's arm and headed towards Huibinge, she happened to encounter this scene. She immediately darkened her face. Regardless of her current physical condition, she let go of her hand and ran towards the two of them. Yao Xin was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. Straight up.

Yao Xin hurriedly said: "Princess! Princess! You are pregnant! You can't run!"

The third princess is so angry, how can she be heard? Yao Xin held Jin Jue's arm with one hand and held her four-and-a-half-month-old belly with the other hand as she was accustomed to. She sped up her pace slightly and chased the third princess.

At this time, it was time to sit down. The male guests stayed inside and did not move around, but the female guests slowly walked in from different directions. They were quickly attracted by the farce, and they all looked like they were watching a good show.

Dong Jialin and Feng Yanying turned a corner while chatting and laughing, and were about to approach the door when they suddenly saw two figures falling at their feet. They were both startled and took a step back. Then Feng Yanying exclaimed, "Miss Shui, Princess Rong, you... what are you doing?"

Dong Jialin's pupils moved, and when she saw the people struggling together, she was no longer surprised, but she still opened her mouth wide, her almond-shaped eyes widened and said: "Why are you fighting? This will hurt you! Let go quickly !”

As she spoke, she tried to separate them, but Feng Yanying was one step ahead of her, holding her hand and looking at her belly.

Dong Jialin's eyes flashed and she paused for a moment. A cold wind suddenly blew beside her, but the third princess passed her by in a flash and stood in front of Shui Lingxi and Guo Rong. The third princess pointed at the two of them and said sternly: "Let me go! Do you hear me?"

Guo Rong obediently let go, but Shui Lingxi didn’t, bang! Another slap hit Guo Rong's face.

 “Woooo…” Guo Rong cried.

The third princess took a step forward and grabbed Shui Lingxi's shoulder, "Hey! I have an order from this princess. Are you deaf? Didn't you hear it?"

Shui Lingxi seemed to be extremely angry. She didn't even wait for the third princess to finish her words before she scratched her wrist with her backhand. A piece of flesh was removed from the third princess's wrist. The third princess was so painful that her whole body became cold and she almost collapsed on the ground.

Yao Xin also rushed to the scene at this moment. She didn't even care that she was pregnant, so she stretched out her hand to pick up the third princess. This dangerous move frightened Jin Jue out of her wits. She wanted to hold Yao Xin back and prevent her from getting involved in the fight between Shui Lingxi and others, but somehow, she tripped with her right foot and rushed towards Yao Xin instead. With this pounce, Yao Xin, who was unprepared, would fall belly-down to the ground.

“Ah—no—” In panic, Jin Jue couldn’t stop the car and could only cry out like a ghost.

In the flash of lightning, Dong Jialin reached out to grab the kumquat, and then Feng Yanying also reached out to grab it. Unfortunately, Dong Jialin missed it, even too hard, and she knelt on the ground. Feng Yanying caught something, but there was only a piece of clothes. With a stab, Jin Jue's skirt was torn open, but she still bumped into Yao Xin.

When the third princess heard the noise, she turned around suddenly and saw Jin Jue bumping into Yao Xin. Yao Xin trembled and threw herself to the ground. The third princess almost instinctively let go of Shui Lingxi, and instinctively stretched out her arms to catch Yao Xin. However, the impact was too great, and she could not stabilize her body at all. She had to use all her strength just as the two of them were about to fall to the ground. He pulled Yao Xin's body with all his strength, so that Yao Xin turned his back to her and pressed her down to the ground.

Hiss—The third princess felt severe pain in her **** and elbow, "Ouch, it hurts so much!"

At this time, those who were fighting stopped fighting, and those who were watching the excitement did not dare to watch. They all retreated, fearing that their wrestling with the third princess would have some unclear relationship.

Yao Xin turned pale with fright, moved her body, knelt down and asked, "Princess, how are you? Do you want to call a doctor?" After saying this, she glanced at the wound on the third princess Hao's wrist, and her expression changed. It’s a change of, “How did this happen?”

Guo Rong glared at Shui Lingxi fiercely, "She caught her! I can see it clearly!"

The huge noise disturbed the male guests inside, and everyone walked out one after another. The one at the front was Guo Yan. As soon as he heard the noise outside, he thought of his little fool who loved to get into trouble. As expected, it was really her! Guo Yan took three steps at a time to hold the third princess, who was screaming in pain, into his arms. While touching her pale face, he said anxiously: "If I don't look at you for a while, you will get into trouble! How are you doing now?" "

Yao Xin's face was already full of tears, "I'm sorry... I'm... I'm sorry... I hurt your child..."

child? Guo Yan's expression suddenly changed. He picked up the third princess and said to the oncoming Ah Jue: "Is there a doctor? An imperial doctor? Hurry!"

Shui Linglong came from afar and met Ah Jue by chance, who was in a hurry to ask for a doctor. Ah Jue glanced at her embarrassedly, without even the time to explain, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Shui Hange clasped his hands behind his back, and after learning about the situation from Li Cai'er and others who were watching the excitement, he glanced at his unkempt daughter coldly, "You really embarrassed the Shangshu Mansion! Why don't you tell the third princess now?" Apologize to Concubine Rong, and then go in and take a shower! Look at what you look like!"

Shui Lingxi looked aggrieved, shed two lines of tears, and said reluctantly: "Third Princess, I'm sorry. Princess Rong, I'm sorry."

Guo Yan glanced at Guo Rong, and Guo Rong lowered her head guiltily.

Shui Linglong, however, looked thoughtful as she looked at the furious Shui Hangge and Shui Lingxi, who was extremely fierce a second ago but now looked pitiful.

The side room for guests to rest was at Zhilanxuan near Huibin Pavilion. Guo Yan carried the third princess and walked to Zhilanxuan. Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, bang! It seemed like something fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at it intently and were stunned for a moment...
