First Concubine
Chapter 43: Mother and son first meet (2)
Chapter 43 The first encounter between mother and son (2)
Shui Linglong said with a cold face: "I have never been angry with Miss Guo. Now, please let me go. Since you have helped me a little, I will pretend that I haven't seen you tonight. You can go."
that's all? Guo Yan felt a little disappointed. They were the closest people in the world, but they were strangers in front of him. His heart was filled with unwillingness, annoyance, grievance, and even anger. But soon, he calmed down. Being able to see her alive was already a hard-won blessing. What else could he hope for? He deserved the cold treatment she gave him, not to mention that this cold treatment was nothing compared to the harm he had caused her in her previous life.
He smiled slightly again, and his eyes overflowed with deep happiness: "I will carry you back."
Just like you hugged me when I was little.
Shui Lingqing went back to her room and took off her torn coat, put on a light green brocade spring dress and a plain moonflower skirt. She wiped the dirt on her shoes and made sure she was dignified before walking out the door. The eldest sister had told her to please the Jade Concubine, so she couldn't neglect her etiquette.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she bumped into Shui Linglong, who was in a hurry. She was shocked: "Sister! Why are you back? Are you here to see me?"
So be it! Shui Linglong's face turned slightly red. Thinking of being held by Guo Yan like a baby all the way, she felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, she didn't feel any bad ambiguous aura from Guo Yan, and , who never likes to get close to others, does not reject getting along with Guo Yan. This is really strange! She pulled Shui Lingqing into the room. Qiao'er was sorting out the coat that Shui Lingqing had changed. When she saw Shui Lingqing folding it back so quickly, with the eldest lady beside her, she couldn't help but be startled, and then bowed. The ceremony was: "Eldest Miss, Fifth Miss!"
Shui Linglong's gaze swept across Qiao'er's face, fell into Shui Lingqing's surprised eyes, and said solemnly: "Listen, you don't know what I'm busy with in the kitchen tonight, and you don't know what I'm doing. When you returned to your room at that time, you just wandered around the kitchen. Before you could figure out the situation, your father-in-law called you away. When you finished changing your clothes and passed by the North Room, you found that I had already rested. Yeah, you don’t know anything, remember?”
Shui Lingqing was startled: "Huh?" She clearly knew what the eldest sister was doing! And she stayed in the kitchen for a long time. Did the eldest sister want her to lie?
"Qing'er, do you listen to the eldest sister?" Shui Linglong asked seriously. Shui Lingqing nodded, "Well, I listen to the eldest sister. I will say whatever the eldest sister tells me."
Qiaoer hurriedly said: "This slave also listens to the eldest lady!"
Shui Linglong sighed with satisfaction, and suddenly recalled what happened in the small kitchen. The corners of her lips gradually raised a cold arc. With the lessons from her previous life, she did not intend to fight to the end recklessly in this life, so she She didn't kill Shui Lingxi immediately, but some people were just mean!
The room was full of branches. She was sitting on a chair and dozing off. When she heard the door open, she suddenly woke up and subconsciously called out: "Miss?!"
"It's me." Shui Linglong responded lightly. Zhifan quickly stood up, walked around the screen, closed the door and bolted the door, then turned on all the lights in the room. She looked at Shui Linglong carefully and found that Shui Linglong His face was not very good-looking, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the food he cooked was not to the taste of Concubine Jade, and she received her cold face?
Zhifan welcomed Shui Linglong and sat down on the soft couch, then went to the ear room to fetch warm water for Shui Linglong to cleanse her hands. In Shangshu Mansion, Shui Linglong soaked her hands in milk or goat's milk morning and night. The palace was not as good as her own home, so she had to make do with it. .
Shui Linglong was like a wooden figure, letting the branches manipulate her, her mind constantly thinking about what to do next.
Zhifan followed Professor Shui Linglong's steps: washing the palms, backs of hands, between fingers, fingers, and nails one by one. Then he brought essential oil and massaged her slowly. Seeing that her young lady was deep in thought, she did not disturb her. Unexpectedly, she accidentally lowered her head and saw a bit of mud on the train of Shui Linglong's skirt. The road from the kitchen to the east room is clean and dry, and most of the floors are covered with bluestone or marble floors. Where did the mud come from? And it hasn't rained for many days, so even the grass in the garden doesn't have anything like this.
"Miss." Zhi Fan called, looking at Shui Linglong steadily, expecting Shui Linglong to tell her what happened, not only because she cared about her master, but also because it represented his trust in her. But she has never been a mistress, so of course she doesn't understand her mistress's position. Sometimes it's not that the mistress is too lazy to speak up, or that he doesn't trust the maid, but that staying aloof sometimes makes people more motivated to work hard than opening up.
Shui Linglong looked at Zhi Fan and said calmly, "Remember, you haven't been to the kitchen tonight."
Without answering her questions, he directly issued a death order.
Zhi Fan's heart twitched as she was promoted to eldest maid and followed the eldest lady into the palace. She couldn't help but feel a little elated, thinking that her intelligence had finally surpassed Ye Mao and Liu Lu. However, she didn't know that sometimes cleverness was mistaken for cleverness, and the eldest lady valued her a little too much. She is a smart person, but she hates others using this smartness on her.
It turns out that being sincere is not enough, she also has to learn to be honest.
In the east room, Concubine Yu lay down undressed. It was already late at night and she was still not sleepy. It was reasonable that Shui Linglong didn't bring the food, but she still felt a little uneasy. Maybe it was because of the emperor. Left without saying hello?
“I want to eat pineapples. Are there any pineapples?” Concubine Yu asked casually.
Officiant Xin replied softly outside the curtain: "To tell you the truth, there are no pineapples in the capital this season."
Concubine Yu disagreed: "There is none in the capital, nor in the south? I heard that the inspector from the south sent two baskets of pineapples last time. Didn't Guanju Palace get some?"
Official Xin looked confused and didn't know how to answer. Concubine Yu turned over with a little force and a pain in her stomach. She took a breath and almost lost her soul. She hurriedly covered her stomach and didn't notice what happened next. After the bad reaction, he felt a little relieved and sighed, with a rather impatient tone: "I know, turn off the lights. If Xiao Dezi comes back to life, just stand outside the screen."
Xiao Dezi took the needle and thread prepared for Shui Lingqing and walked around the inner courtyard. The emperor had already left. He ate most of the dishes on the plate, drank some milk wine, and started eating in the kitchen. It was obvious that the emperor was serious. Tight with joy. Xiao Dezi went to Shui Lingqing's room again. Shui Lingqing was taking a bath. It was Qiaoer who saw him. He smiled and handed the needle and thread to Qiaoer, and said tentatively: "Miss Qiaoer, please tell Fifth Miss, Yufei She doesn’t need to go to the Queen’s place.”
Qiao'er smiled brightly and said: "The eldest lady just gave you the same order!"
Concubine Jade clearly asked Shui Linglong to carry the dishes personally, but Shui Linglong didn’t go. Could it be that the emperor pardoned her? Xiao Dezi couldn't help but feel a little happy: "Okay! I've offended Miss Fifth so much today. Sister Qiao'er, please give me a nice word!"
Qiao'er smiled and said: "Look what my father-in-law said, it was just an accident. You are too serious. Please forget about this, lest it spread out and make people think that Miss Fifth is so narrow-minded!"
Xiao Dezi's smile froze: "That's right! That slave will leave first, and the fifth lady will sleep in peace!"
After saying that, he turned around, smiled coldly, and slapped the maid who had a swollen face and pretended to be fat!
Looking at Xiao Dezi's retreating back, Qiaoer's eyes turned cold, what a shameless eunuch!
Xiao Dezi stood at the door of the North Main Room for a while without hearing any movement or seeing any light in the room, so he went to the East Second Room to report back: "Madam, the dishes and milk wine in the kitchen have traces of being tampered with, Miss. After returning to the house, I don’t know if Lord Long Live asked her to go back. The servant wanted to see the eldest lady, but the eldest lady stopped and it was difficult for the servant to force her way in. "
What Concubine Yu wants is not such worthless news! Concubine Yu picked up the pillow and threw it at Xiao Dezi: "Get out!"
The next day, Shui Ling got up early in the morning and went to the North Main Room, planning to ask Shang Shui Linglong to go to the front to meet the Concubine Jade. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shui Lingqing stepped into the room, she heard Zhi Fan sobbing, and her heart broke. With a tremble, he walked around the screen in a few steps and saw Shui Linglong lying on the bed with a pale face: "Sister! Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Shui Linglong didn’t respond!
Shui Lingqing's heart trembled again, and an ominous premonition spread through her heart. She sat by the bed, held Shui Linglong's cold hand, and asked Xiang Zhifan: "What's wrong with my eldest sister? Zhifan, please stop crying." , tell me! Wasn’t my eldest sister fine last night? Why can’t she hear me now?”
Zhifan sniffed and sobbed: "Eldest...eldest lady...I don't know what happened. Maybe I kicked the quilt...maybe I caught a cold after going to the toilet at night..."
Shui Lingqing's heart suddenly panicked. She had always followed her eldest sister, without wind or rain. Her eldest sister would make decisions for her in everything. Now that her eldest sister fell ill, she suddenly seemed to have lost her backbone. As if at a loss what to do: "Sister! Wake up, I...I'm so scared!"
Zhifan wiped his tears and stood up to pour a cup of tea for Shui Lingqing. Shui Lingqing waved her hand away. Zhifan comforted her and said, "Fifth Miss, please stop crying. It won't help if you cry. It's better to inform the Jade Concubine quickly. Please Your Majesty, please send an imperial doctor over!"
"Yes! Yes! Please call the doctor!" Shui Ling stood up in a clear voice, wiped her tears and walked out. She ran rampantly and bumped into Shui Lingyue as soon as she opened the door. Shui Lingyue's foot was stepped on hard, and she Feeling pain, she glared at the person who came in displeasure, and was about to get angry. After seeing the person and the location of the incident clearly, her anger suddenly got stuck in her throat, "It's the fifth sister!" Pixiao said hello without a smile, He lowered his head and started to sort out the dress that was as clean as new.
Shui Lingyue wore a pink embroidered white jasmine jacket. She looked slender and fair-skinned. She wore a lily bun. She was a bit mature for her age. However, she was so charming that it didn't make people feel awkward. The bun On the left is a gilt orchid hairpin and a pair of jasmine-white jade hairpins, and on the right is a fresh little peach blossom. She turned her beautiful eyes and looked at her. What she held was fresh, bright, delicate and moving.
Among the five sisters, apart from Shui Lingxi, Shui Lingyue is undoubtedly the most beautiful. Even if they see her every day and every month, Shui Lingqing is still shocked by Shui Lingyue in front of her. She feels that today’s The fourth sister seemed to be a little different. Shui Lingyue felt uncomfortable, so she cleared her throat and looked away. Shui Lingqing just murmured: "Fourth sister... you... you are so beautiful!"
Originally she just wanted to show off and be nice to Shui Lingqing, but after hearing this, Shui Lingyue's smile became a bit real. She touched the orchid hairpin on her head, glanced at the room with her peripheral vision, and asked, "Are you going to go there?" Say hello to Concubine Jade? Why didn’t eldest sister come out with you?”
Shui Lingqing's tears that she had finally stopped burst into her eyes again: "Eldest sister...Eldest sister is sick! She's unconscious...I...I was just thinking of asking Concubine Jade to hire a doctor!"
Could it be that something happened to Shui Linglong after she left the kitchen yesterday? Shui Lingyue's eyes flashed with meaningful light, and she smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, you are so old, you are not afraid of the Jade Concubine's jokes even if you cry. You are close to the eldest sister on weekdays, don't make people laugh. Sister didn’t teach you well!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Lingqing stopped crying.
Seeing that the three words "Shui Linglong" were so useful to Shui Lingqing, Shui Lingyue didn't know whether to be happy or worried. A piece of meat was neither competitive nor fragrant. Without Shui Linglong, Shui Lingyue didn't think there was anything rare about Shui Lingqing. , after this commotion, Shui Lingyue felt that if Shui Ling was clear about her, it would be better than Shui Linglong was vague, then she would also be happy. After thinking about this, Shui Lingyue pulled out a jasmine white jade flower and put it on Shui Lingqing's bun, like a kind and generous sister: "Look at you, are you dressed too plainly? What will you lack in the future? Just tell the fourth sister, the fourth sister will treat you better than the eldest sister. "
“Huh?” Shui Lingqing was stunned...
"Since I'm here, I'll go in and see the eldest sister." Shui Lingyue lifted up her skirt and walked into the bedroom with great dignity.
Zhi Fan sat on the couch at the head of the bed and sobbed softly. Shui Linglong lay on the head of the bed with a pale face, a few strands of black hair sticking to her sweat-stained temples, making her look even more frail and frail. Remembering that she had searched all over the small kitchen and around the small kitchen last night but could not see Shui Linglong's shadow, she couldn't help but wonder, where did Shui Linglong go at that time? Are you hiding in a dark place where no one knows, or have you returned to your room? There was a hint of coldness in Shui Lingyue's crystal eyes, but she said softly: "Sister, I am the fourth sister, can you hear me? We are going to pay tribute to the Jade Concubine. It is not good to miss the time. "
Having said that, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement in Shui Linglong.
Are you really sick? Not just pretending? Shui Lingyue moved to the bedside, held Shui Linglong's hand, and planned to pinch her hard to see if she was really dizzy or fake. Who would have expected, when the soft, sponge-like plain hand fell into her palm When she picked it up, she instinctively held it with both hands, for fear of breaking it! It is said that hands are a woman's second face. Obviously, Shui Linglong's "face" is much more beautiful than the others! It is slender and soft, as smooth as jade, as delicate as fat, and more delicate than a baby's skin. Let alone pinching, even a slight touch will cause the skin to be scratched. Shui Lingyue frowned and gently put Shui Linglong's hand back into the quilt: "Go and say hello to Concubine Jade, and invite an imperial physician to come by the way."
During breakfast, Concubine Yu heard the news that Shui Linglong was in coma. Her expression changed immediately and she immediately invited Dr. Chen, who she was familiar with, to come over. After checking Shui Linglong's pulse through the curtain, Imperial Physician Chen asked Zhi Fan about Shui Linglong's sleep at night.
Zhifan replied: "The eldest lady always sleeps well. I don't know if it was because she was new here last night, but she screamed several times in her sleep."
Scream? In fact, there is nothing wrong with Miss Shui's pulse. It can be said that it is very good. However, as an imperial physician, if he cannot give a reasonable explanation, it is not that the eldest lady is not sick, but that he is incompetent in diagnosing the disease. Imperial Physician Chen stared at her and said: "The eldest lady is not ill." The young lady must have been surprised and had a slight chill.”
Concubine Jade was confused. What does it mean to be frightened? Did the emperor do something he shouldn't have done to Shui Linglong in the kitchen last night? If he really did it, it shouldn't be so calm this morning. The emperor is romantic by nature, but he will not take whoever he wants without giving him status. Generally speaking, the emperor is a very responsible man. Damn it, what happened last night? What happened?
Doctor Chen prescribed some medicine to relieve shock and treat wind and cold. Concubine Yu assigned two experienced maids to accompany Zhifan to serve Shui Linglong. Unexpectedly, after one night, Shui Linglong's condition was not properly controlled, but she started to have a seizure in the middle of the night. I had a high fever. In addition, there were many small red spots on my back, stomach and thighs.
The imperial doctor could not look at Shui Linglong's body, which was reported by the palace maids. The imperial doctor Chen checked Shui Linglong's pulse again. This time, he no longer dared to say that Shui Linglong was just frightened or caught a cold. He changed the prescription. Two days later, Shui Linglong's condition became more serious. She even had red rashes on the back of her hands and face. For a while, the news that Concubine Jade's niece had a strange disease spread like wildfire, and soon reached the Queen. In the ears.
Originally, the family members of the palace concubines had to visit the queen first when they came to the palace to visit relatives, but the queen did not want to see the Jade Concubine. Therefore, the queen spared Shui Linglong and her party before they entered the palace to pay their respects. But now people are leaving the palace. There was no reason for her to just ignore it, especially that illness... it sounded scary!
The third princess was playing on the swing in the imperial garden. The palace servants reported that the Prince Consort was here. The third princess was so happy that she immediately jumped off the swing and ran to Guo Yan. She said with a smile: "You are here!"
"Well, I'll ask the emperor for permission after I leave the court to come and see you." If he hadn't had the title of Prince Consort, he wouldn't have been able to enter the harem. Remembering how Zhuge Yu was so anxious at the gate of the palace and had no other choice, he I feel really happy, hum! There is no way to **** Linglong from him! Soon Linglong will find out who treats her best in the world! Of course, the pleasure only lasted for a moment. What he was more worried about was that he couldn't sleep all night long, fearing that she would be separated from him before he even called her "mother". He clearly remembered that when he carried her back to the room that night, she was still fine. Why did she fall so ill in the blink of an eye? At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had so little control over her situation!
“Guo Yan, what are you busy with these days?” the third princess asked with a sweet smile.
