First Concubine

Chapter 60: Competing for calculations (6)

Zhuge Liuyun couldn't swallow this breath: "She is in love with the prince. She will not marry him unless he is the prince. She is seeking death and survival in the palace. Such a person is really not worth your trouble!"

Zhuge Yu’s thick eyebrows frowned and fell into silence.

Zhuge Liuyun thought Zhuge Yu would be furious, but after waiting for a long time, he only waited for a sentence: "I understand."

 Henceforth, nothing more.

Zhuge Liuyun was so angry that his eyes were about to burst: "You are so stubborn!"

Zhuge Yu turned around indifferently, stopped when he stepped out of the threshold, and said coldly: "Don't question my decision, I will kill anyone who touches her! If you don't want all your secret guards to be wiped out, don't attack the Shui family!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and the secret guard who ran out to find out the news turned into a corpse and lay at the door.

Zhuge Liuyun's fists suddenly clenched, and the undercurrent in his eyes was like a death vortex, with endless suction, as if it wanted to swallow up all the people's consciousness...!

Shui Linglong’s marriage to the prince and Zhuge Yu has not been announced to the outside world. No one wants to lose face in advance before the dust settles.

Shui Hangge personally came to Lingxiang Courtyard to visit Shui Linglong. He was very considerate and caring, as if he wanted to make up for the fatherly love he owed her for more than ten years.

"Linglong, you have worked hard these days helping the old lady with the housework. I brought you some blood swallows. You can ask Mother Zhong to cook them for you later... Also, in a few days, I will go to Quanzhou to organize medical work. If you are interested in this grand event, I can take you to see it. I heard that His Highness the Prince will also go..."

Shui Hangge kept chattering, Shui Linglong looked at him with a half-smile, and he felt uncomfortable, so he asked: "Linglong, why are you staring at me?"

The curve of the corners of Shui Linglong's lips seemed to be there but not there yet: "I want to ask my father when he will give my mother the title of legitimate wife."

Shui Hangge opened his mouth and took a breath, "Your mother has been dead for a long time, this..."

Shui Linglong's smile faded: "Father, my mother was kicked out of the Dong Jia clan because of you, and she was reduced from a wife to a concubine when you promised her to stay together for the rest of our lives. Don't you feel it at all? Guilt?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but...I can't!" Shui Hangge turned sideways.

Shui Linglong walked around to him, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What's wrong? You can turn me from a Crown Princess to a Crown Princess, and then to a Crown Princess. My dear father, you are omnipotent in my heart! "

"You..." Shui Hange realized that his daughter was sarcastic at him, "Is this the way you talk to me? I am your father! Even if you marry the prince and become the queen, I will always be your father! "

 But in the previous life, all you gave me was a document severing the relationship between father and daughter!

Shui Hange seemed to feel that he had gone too far, and his tone softened: "I'm just giving you back what originally belonged to you! How angry are you? Isn't the prince better than Zhuge Yu? Back then, Qin Fangyi secretly I was completely kept in the dark about asking you for the jade pendant. I always thought that the Crown Prince really liked Ling Xi, so I agreed to change the candidate for the Crown Princess. I also don’t want you to marry someone who doesn’t love you. In that case, you He won't be happy! But after this incident, the prince has completely understood his heart, and you have feelings for the prince, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have saved him yesterday. I’m trying my best to offend Zhenbei Prince’s Palace, but also to fulfill your mother’s last wish, so that you can have a good marriage!”

"It's better to say it than to sing it. If Shuilingxi hadn't been in this situation, would you have thought of me? Kick me away when you don't need it, and pull me back when you can use it. I think the role of father is You can protect me from the wind and rain, protect me from bullying, and allow me to be stubborn all my life! But father, what did you do to me? If you want me to get married, you can give me my mother back! , Even if you are a beggar on the roadside, I will marry you without hesitation!" After saying this, Shui Hange was speechless. Shui Linglong stood up angrily and said coldly, "Also, father, before my mother died! , you’re not around!”

　Shuihangge is mute!

Shui Linglong closed her eyes and lay back on the soft couch: "I'm so tired and want to sleep."

"Then...you sleep!" Shui Hangge hit a soft spot and reluctantly threw up her sleeves and left. He had the final say whether to marry or not. When was it really her turn to make the decision? It's just that jade pendant...Oh! You have to find a way to **** it from Qin Fangyi!

After Shui Hangge left, Shui Linglong opened her eyes and called Ye Mao in: "Ye Mao, is my second uncle doing business in Taizhou?"

Ye Mao scratched his head: "It seems so. The second master hasn't been back for many years, but he is in Taizhou."

The old lady gave birth to three sons and one daughter in her life. The third uncle died young. After the second uncle got married, he moved away from the capital and went to Taizhou. Shui Linglong has never met this second uncle in his past life. But one thing is certain, Since the second uncle has not returned to Beijing for many years, he must have had some unpleasant experiences with the old lady or Shui Hange. Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows: "Call Mama Du."

In the evening, Mrs. Du came to Lingxiangyuan on the pretext of delivering cakes. Shui Linglong got straight to the point and asked directly why her second uncle left Beijing to go into business. Mother Du sighed: "The old lady loved the second master very much when he was alive. The third master passed away early, and the second master was the youngest son. Later, the old lady made the decision to marry the second master, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Wei family."

Shui Linglong held up the teacup: "Wei family? Which Wei family?"

Du's mother twitched her lips: "He is not famous. My father is a fifth-rank official and is not very conspicuous in this part of the capital. Miss Wei's father and brother encountered a landslide while visiting relatives together, and they and their car were drowned in the mudslide. Since then, the Wei family has been in decline, and the old lady wanted to regret the marriage, but the second master didn't agree, so she knelt at the old man's door and begged for three days and three nights, saying that she didn't want to be that unsympathetic person, and Xu was more open-minded. The second master married Miss Wei during his hot filial period. Not long after the marriage, the second wife became pregnant. However, the old lady always disliked the second wife, and she was forced to make rules in the morning and evening when she was pregnant. Later, the second wife became pregnant. The lady accidentally broke a jade object while greeting the old lady. The old lady punished the second lady by kneeling for half an hour, and the second lady had a miscarriage. The second master had a big quarrel with the old lady and left the water house with the second lady three days later. , left the capital and never came back again!”

This second uncle is very affectionate and righteous!

Mama Du sighed with regret: "Although the old lady didn't say it, I understand that the old lady actually misses the second master very much..."

Later, Mother Du talked a lot, but it was basically of no value. Shui Linglong ordered Ye Mao to send Mother Du away. Zhi Fan presented a plate of fresh fruits and asked: "Miss, what do you want to ask the second master?" Should I? Is it because he wants the second master to speak up and ask the old lady not to cancel the marriage between the eldest lady and Prince Zhuge? But the second master... doesn't know the eldest lady, would he be willing to open this door for the eldest lady?

Shui Linglong didn’t answer.

Zhi Fan sharply took down the exquisite honey tea, replaced it with a cup of warm water, and cut a plate of pineapples: "Miss, you said such a thing, why didn't the prince come? Will the prince come? Angry?"

This is what Shui Linglong is confused about. In her opinion, Zhuge Yu is impatient, puts everything on his face, and acts vigorously and resolutely. The old lady took Shui Lingqing to Zhenbei Palace this afternoon. She knew what the old lady was doing without even thinking about it. went! The old lady was afraid that she had been overwhelmed by the events one after another, and had even lost her basic ability to judge! What is the family background of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion? Is it really up to the Shangshu Mansion to choose the Crown Princess? If we simply break off the engagement, the Zhenbei Prince's Palace will be angry. At worst, they will break up from now on, and no one will owe anyone! Madam Pian was greedy and not only wanted to keep her position as Crown Princess, but she was also reluctant to give up the big tree of Zhenbei Palace. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhenbei Palace, but since the old lady had done so badly, Zhuge Liang Why didn't Yu react at all?

 Or... he doesn't care?

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, picked up a piece of pineapple, and said calmly: "You think too much, how could he be angry? I'm afraid it's too late to be happy, your lady has no appearance, no backing, and she is a concubine, eh , It’s really wronging him.”

Zhi Fan’s eyes dimmed, could my uncle be that kind of person?

Shui Linglong reached out her hand to get another piece of pineapple, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of the dazzling emerald gold bracelet on Hao's wrist. She took off the bracelet, put it in the makeup box and locked it, without giving the key to anyone else. Carry it with you along with the two jade pendants of Nova and Chi. After wearing it for a long time, I suddenly took it off, and my wrist felt lightly, which was a bit unfamiliar.

Zhi Fan watched Shui Linglong shrinking the bracelet given by Zhuge Yu, as if locking up her own heart. She frowned slightly: "Miss, how about... this servant goes to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and asks Ask my uncle? Maybe he doesn’t know about this!”

Shui Linglong glanced at him coldly: "When did he become an uncle? I'll give you twenty!"

"Yes!" Zhi Fan knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to hesitate, so he slapped himself twenty times without mercy.

After finishing a plate full of pineapples, Shui Linglong felt a little exhausted. She stood up and walked around the house a few times. Then she wrote a post to the third princess and asked someone to send it to the Yao Mansion. At dusk, the third princess replied to the post. , inviting Shui Linglong to come over for a small gathering. Shui Linglong directly threatened to go to see the prince, and Shui Hangge agreed without even thinking.

Shui Linglong took Ye Mao with her and got on the carriage to Yao Mansion.

As night falls, the sky is so dark that there is no light. The crescent moon and stars disappear into the clouds. The air is muggy and the clouds are thick. It looks like there will be another heavy rain tomorrow.

The carriage gradually left the downtown area and turned into a sparsely populated alley. The night pearl on the top of the sedan chair shone brightly, illuminating a bright area.

Shui Linglong leaned on the soft pillow and closed her eyes to rest. Ye Mao thought she was asleep, so he didn't disturb her.

Just as the carriage was about to leave the narrow path, a loud sound suddenly came from the distance!

Shui Linglong suddenly opened her eyes and pressed the back of Ye Mao's neck, forcing her to bend down with her!

　　咻!

The sharp arrow flew in from the side window, flashed past the two people's backs, and was nailed to the door panel! The flame on the arrow flickered and burned in the carriage!
