first princess

Chapter 102: The Desire of the Palace (3)
Concubine De took a look at Xiao Anzi who was stupefied, and said with sadness from her heart, "How did she die?"

Shui Linglong replied according to the official statement: "They said she died of illness."

Xiao Anzi burst into tears.

Concubine De clenched her fists, her eyes flickered and said: "To be honest, Xiao Anzi and his sister were originally from Quanzhou. They were separated for many years since childhood. Xiao Anzi has been inquiring about her sister's whereabouts. The maid you are talking about should be Xiao Anzi." Little sister, the other jade pendant you picked up belongs to Xiao Anzi."

Xiao Anzi hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Shi Zifei, for finding the jade pendant for this slave, and thank you Shi Zifei, for taking care of my slave sister during her lifetime."

Shui Linglong understood that the eleventh prince was scratched by a cat after she left the palace last time, Concubine De asked for orders to catch the cat in person, it was fake to catch the cat, but it was real to find the jade pendant.

Concubine De took a step forward and grabbed Shui Linglong's hand: "Who gave you the spices you use?"

Shui Linglong blinked, contemplated for a moment and still chose to tell the truth: "I did it myself."

Concubine De's eyes lit up suddenly, her voice trembled: "Who taught you the recipe? But your mother?"

Shui Linglong's pupils shrank, and there was a strange sense of familiarity: "Yes."

Concubine De's eyes turned red: "Your mother..."

Before she could ask about her appearance, Xiao Anzi lowered her body and interrupted her words: "Your Majesty! It's getting late, let's go to Pantao Garden quickly! The Eleventh Prince should be in a hurry!" Eleven princes" these words!
Concubine De's hands loosened in admiration, and all the emotions in her eyes faded instantly, as if the approachable woman just now had never existed before, and she became a Concubine De who is superior again: "The smell of this spice is really good, my palace I was very curious at the moment, don't blame the concubine, let's go to the Pantao Garden with me."

Shui Linglong glared at Xiao Anzi, she was sure that if he hadn't interrupted her just now, Concubine De would have given some information that might be useful to her.Accompanying Concubine De to pick peaches, and went to Chengde Palace to get a box of jewels, Shui Linglong bid farewell to Concubine De to go to see Shui Lingyue, but along the way, she heard news that shocked her!
Bingbing slipped into the water, the third princess sent someone to find Yunli, but Yunli left Bingbing and went directly to Guiyi Palace to rescue her!

All of a sudden, rumors about Yun Li and her scandal spread wildly.Some people said that the position of princess should have belonged to her, but Bing Bing thought of dirty tricks to take her position of princess.Some people also said that if she hadn't had feelings for Yun Li, she wouldn't have saved Yun Li back then, and Yun Li and her were the couple who really loved each other, but they couldn't help but marry each other.Under the bombardment of these explosive gossip, the petty fight between the three princesses and Princess Taj seemed dull.But fortunately, there was another piece of earth-shattering news that dilutes the smog a lot—the princess is pregnant!

Shui Linglong went to the Millennium Palace to visit Shui Lingyue, but was told that Shui Lingyue had gone out. Thinking that she had just ordered Zhifan to give a gift, Shui Linglong left a message and went to the gate of the palace.

When passing by the Royal Garden, Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu with a serious face met unexpectedly, and Zhi Fan followed Zhuge Yu at a distance behind Zhuge Yu.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows!
Zhi Fan lowered his head timidly and ran over: "This servant is worried about the safety of Shizi Concubine, so...so I followed Shizi."

Shui Linglong let out a "hmm", thinking about more important things, she asked Zhuge Yu, "Why did you enter the palace?"

"I couldn't wait for you, so I came in to have a look. Unexpectedly, I ran into the unconscious princess on the way, and I rescued her." He said very honestly and expressionlessly, and looked at the water steadfastly. exquisite.

Shui Linglong narrowed her eyes and smiled: "So you saved Bingbing, didn't you let others know?" Yun Li and her were rumored to be having an affair, if Zhuge Yu had another quarrel with Bingbing, it would be really... horrible!
Zhuge Yu knocked on her forehead: "You think everyone is like you! I let the third princess keep it secret."

This is... unaffected by gossip?Shui Linglong took the initiative to put her little hand into Zhuge Yu's palm, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Refuting the rumors, ha ha."

"You don't have to worry too much. If the empress doesn't even have the ability to suppress even a little rumor, she won't be able to sit on the phoenix position." Zhuge Yu held her hand tightly, and walked with her towards the gate of the palace.

Shui Linglong tucked her temple hair behind her ears, and asked tentatively, "Why do you believe me?"

Zhuge Yu said calmly: "Trust is an attitude, there is no reason."

Shui Linglong was startled for a moment, and then felt a little warm in her heart. In his eyes, the crux of the two lifetimes was so simple that there was only one attitude. The simplicity in the emotional field has not deteriorated in the slightest.Shui Linglong smiled knowingly, Zhuge Yu noticed her expression out of the corner of her eye, and the corners of her lips curled up into a curve that seemed to be there.

After a while, Shui Linglong restrained her smile, and said in her usual tone: "It doesn't matter whether the Queen can suppress the rumors or not, the important thing is that the news has already reached the ears of the Long Live Lord, and Yun Li will inevitably be reprimanded by the Long Live Lord The thing she was worried about still happened. The imperial concubine set up such a big trap. It was to appreciate the painting, it was a big fire, and it was to expose the secret way. The purpose was just to make her believe that everything was just a pure coincidence. The devil's claws secretly reached out to Yunli and Bingbing.

Zhuge Yu didn't say a word, actually before he found Shui Linglong, he heard that Yun Li was called by the emperor to go to the Imperial Study Room, what else could this visit be but reprimand?He changed the topic: "Why did you go to the imperial concubine's palace?"

Shui Linglong told Zhuge Yu the ins and outs of the day in detail, Zhuge frowned thickly, "It must be the concubine's fault!"

Shui Linglong patted the center of her eyebrows: "The noble concubine made such a fuss, causing Long Live Lord to have an opinion on Yun Li, and the third prince's road to seize the heir apparent has taken another big step."

Zhuge Yu nodded.

Shui Linglong said again: "The third prince is not the only beneficiary. Yun Li is solely responsible for the case of the Pingnan Palace. Once this incident happens, Lord Long Live will definitely suppress Yunli's contribution in order to sound the alarm for Yunli. The trial will probably be postponed for a while." During this time, Xun Feng will desperately destroy the evidence, or...bribe Yunli!
Zhuge Yu stopped and looked at Shui Linglong: "Xun Feng colluded with the noble concubine?" Xun Feng and the third prince were fighting to the death, so how could they collude with the third prince's mother and concubine?

Shui Linglong didn't dare to show how much she understood Xun Feng's methods, so she leaned into his arms lightly to prevent him from seeing the disgust and hatred in her eyes when she mentioned Xun Feng: "Princess Taj appeared in the royal garden too It’s a bit of a coincidence, and it’s also a bit of a coincidence that the princess suddenly fell into the water. Of course, this is my guess, and I have no evidence. I was just thinking, the artillery like Princess Taj is aimed at where, if someone leads her to the three Where the princess and the princess often appear, a dispute is inevitable."

Today's incident, the most traumatized is Bing Bing.

Xun Feng found out that she and Bingbing conspired to drive a wedge between him and Yunli, so Xun Feng seized the opportunity and staged a good show. Apart from political purposes, he hoped that Bingbing would feel resentment towards Yunli and breed hatred towards her. Jealousy, in this way, the person who is finally isolated is actually Bingbing.This is Xun Feng punishing Bingbing for helping her sow discord between Yun Li and him!

Shui Linglong took out the handkerchief, wrote a line of words on Bingbing with the charcoal pencil she carried with her, and asked Zhifan to send it to Weiyang Palace.

After Zhifan left, Zhuge Yu's ears moved, and he lowered his head to kiss Shui Linglong's slightly pursed lips. Shui Linglong was startled, subconsciously wanting to stay away from him, but he pulled her hard into his arms, And took her out of the palace gate and stepped into the carriage.

Behind the rockery, Shui Lingyue tightly tightened the veil, she didn't expect such gossip, Zhuge Yu could still treat Shui Linglong as before, holding hands was fine, he dared to kiss her like that in broad daylight!Zhuge Yu is really kind to Shui Linglong!
Si Xi withdrew his surprised gaze, and asked: "Madam, do we still want to ask the Lord Long Live? Now that the crown prince is being scolded by the Lord Long Live, it is a good time to intercede for the Pingnan Palace."

A thought flashed in Shui Lingyue's mind. Qin Fangyi had just written to her to ask her to take the opportunity to intercede for the Pingnan Palace, and now the prince who is in charge of investigating the case was scolded by the Lord Long Live. What a coincidence!

Or did Qin Fangyi expect such an opportunity?
Wicked!
Shui Linglong frowned: "Go back to the Millennium Palace!" She still decided to curry favor with Shui Linglong. After Shui Linglong became Zhuge Yu's master, she will become the master of Zhenbei Palace in the future. Can Shui Lingxi do it?joke!Don't let her go all out to help the Pingnan Palace get out of trouble, and then turn around and marry a concubine, then what is Shui Lingxi!What can I give her, Shui Lingyue!
As Zhuge Yu said, the rumors in the palace lasted less than an hour before they were suppressed by the empress. The empress declared that Yun Li had obtained her order to rescue the noble concubine and the eldest concubine. Called into the imperial study room, it became the version of "rewarding the emperor for meritorious deeds".A steady stream of rewards entered the Prince's Mansion as if they didn't need money, and those hearsay people gradually believed the Queen's words, but the outside world got the news that Yun Li Yingyong was seriously injured and needed to rest for a month, and the case of the Pingnan Palace was temporarily put on hold !
Prince's Mansion.

Bingbing was lying on the bed, weeping silently, Yunli was also terrified when she heard the news that she fell into the water, so Bingbing asked him: "Your Highness, if you knew that I fell into a coma at that time, you would still go to Guiyi Palace to fight the fire with your own will ?"

Yun Li answered her with silence.

Wei Shi twisted the handkerchief to wipe her daughter's face, and said while wiping, "I feel very uncomfortable, don't you?"

Bingbing was just crying silently at first, but when Wei Shi asked, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears: "Mother! I have worked very hard to accept him and Linglong! Even, I found that I also I like Linglong's calmness and maturity, and I can't help but want to get close to her and make handkerchiefs with her, but now...now I'm so jealous of her! Jealousy is going crazy! Why does she have someone who loves her, and she also loves her? Husband, why is he still occupying the prince's heart? Why is the queen full of praise for her? Why does she let all my efforts go to waste without doing anything?"

Wei followed her daughter's words and sighed: "Yes, my Bingbing is so good and works so hard, why would she want to destroy your family?"

Bingbing was stunned when she heard the words, as if Linglong didn't deliberately sabotage it, it was always the prince's wishful thinking...

Wei put the handkerchief and water basin into the clean room, took off his shoes, lay down next to his daughter and hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Think about it again, did Linglong really do nothing for the prince? Who exposed Xun Feng's ambition?"

It's Linglong.

"Who conspired with you to make the prince see Xun Feng's ambition clearly, but not let the prince know that she has made such a contribution?"

It's Linglong.

"And who secretly brought down the third prince, didn't let him get that military merit, and turn around to deal with Xun Feng?"

Still Linglong.

The hostility in Bingbing's eyes is not so strong anymore, she can only be considerate of the prince in life, but it is Linglong who really helps the prince stabilize the country.

Seeing her daughter showing self-blame, Wei smiled with relief: "When people are angry, they only think of the other party's shortcomings, so they tend to be impulsive, stupid and make irreparable mistakes. But I believe, my Bingbing It will not be such a person. My Bingbing is kind, magnanimous, intelligent, and contented, and Shui Linglong is not as good as you. She is insidious, stubborn, selfish, and greedy. These may be related to her unfortunate childhood experience, but no matter what, she is by no means As glamorous as you can see, her heart must have hidden pain that no one can understand, no less than yours now. So, why are you jealous of her?"

Bingbing bit her lip and said nothing.

Knowing that her daughter listened to it, Wei continued to follow her persuasion: "She helped the prince not because of the so-called love between a man and a woman. You can rest assured about this. I would rather believe that she didn't want to make Xun Feng feel better than she did to the prince. Xin, didn't Linglong write you a letter? What did she say?"

Bing Bing paused, and said: "Ask me if I still remember what Bao Linxuan said."

"Then what did you say?"

"I said, 'For the crown prince, I will die even if I die!'"

Wei Shi nodded her forehead: "He could be smashed to pieces, why not allow him to pretend to be a human being in his heart?"

Bingbing put her arm on Wei Shi's waist, and rubbed her head against her arms: "Mother."

Wei's language said earnestly: "Bing Bing, mother has never seen any storms in this life? You listen to mother's persuasion, don't think about how much you have lost, but see how much you have gained. You have a husband who is envied by a big Zhou woman and a Their unmatched identities, and now they are pregnant with their sweetheart's child, tell mother, don't you really feel happy?"

Putting aside today's incident, the prince actually treated her pretty well... Bingbing pouted and smiled coquettishly: "If I can't be a good wife, I will try my best to be a good mother! Anyway, the one who crawled out of my stomach must have nothing but love in my heart." Me alone! Just like I like dad very much, but I love my mother the most!"

"Spoof!" Wei Shi laughed, she knew her daughter's heart knot had been opened, so she didn't say more, just pulled the quilt to cover her daughter, and patted her on the back to coax her to sleep.

Bizhu is an older servant girl in Zhenbei Palace, first she worked in Leng Youru's yard, after Zhuge Yu got married, Leng Youru sent her and another maid, Hongzhu, to Mohe Yard to serve tea.He said he was serving tea, but Zhuge Yu didn't like many people wandering around in the room, so he didn't allow other maids to enter the room except for the lush leaves, branches and willows brought by Shui Linglong.

Liu Lu walked out with a basin of clothes, and rubbed her sore waist with her hands from time to time. When Bi Zhu saw her, she stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you, Liu Lu? But what's wrong?"

Liu Lu sighed and said: "Here comes the sunflower water, my waist is sore and my stomach hurts, but I haven't finished washing my master's clothes!"

Bizhu smiled and said: "I'm done with today's work, I'll wash it for you!"

Liu Lu said embarrassingly: "This...isn't that good?"

Bizhu snatched the basin from her directly, and said with a sweet smile: "Everyone should help each other! Maybe I will need you in the future!"

Liu Lu half pushed and half agreed, and said again: "It's hot now, and the clothes dry quickly. When the clothes are dry, you remember to remind me to put them away. I... go back to my room to sleep first."

Bi Zhu nodded: "Go to sleep! I'm here!"

After walking a few steps, Liu Lu turned her head and said solemnly: "You must remember to wake me up, otherwise when Shi Ziye comes back, no one will take a bath for him, and he will lose his temper."

Bi Zhu's eyes flickered, and she swore: "Well, I'll call you!"

Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu went to Xiangmanlou to have a delicious meal, strolled around Qinghu for a while in the afternoon, and then huddled together in the carriage until Shui Linglong "fainted" and Zhuge Yu licked his lips contentedly, and then from her He got off his body and called Anping to drive back to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, Shui Linglong showed no sign of waking up at all. Zhuge Yu picked her up by the waist, flaunted her back to the Mohe Courtyard, put Shui Linglong on the bed gently, and Zhuge Yu went to the study, passing her to the family. The elder sent a message, saying that he was not feeling well, and he would bring Shui Linglong to visit him tomorrow morning.

Zhuge Xi laughed when he heard this, who is the fool?It's clear that you made the little girl dizzy!Working so hard during the day is really "young and promising"!
Zhuge Xi touched his swollen abdomen, and ordered: "Hua Rong, boil a bowl of wind-cold medicine for the son." I have to cover you up.

Not long after Zhuge Yu left, Shui Linglong woke up. She rubbed her sore legs, frowned and said, "Ask Liu Lu to fetch water, I want to take a bath!"

Zhifan opened the curtain and went out.

In the clean room, Shui Linglong was soaking in the hot tub, and closed her eyes comfortably. For a while, she was thinking about the charming scene when Zhuge Yu possessed her crazily, and for a while, she was thinking about how to teach the concubine and Xun Feng a lesson. Xun Feng wanted to take advantage of this month to destroy all the evidence, but that was impossible, because...

At this time, Bi Zhu walked in with a set of clean clothes: "Master, this servant has brought you a change of clothes."

Shui Linglong's dizzy consciousness suddenly regained consciousness, and she turned her head to look at the other party!I saw Bizhu wearing a bean green double-breasted top, with the tube top pulled down extremely low, a pair of plump breasts ready to come out!
And Bizhu called her "Master"? !

Shui Linglong picked up the towel and threw it at Bizhu's face!
