first princess

Chapter 105
The old lady was thinking about something, so she found an excuse to let Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingxi go back, and she dragged Shui Linglong into the bedroom. Mother Wang closed the door for the two of them. The old lady did not hide her inner excitement, and asked Said: "You can see your aunt when you enter the palace?"

Shui Linglong smiled slightly, and replied: "I see." It didn't say whether the Empress Empress allowed her to go, or she asked for the grace herself.

The old lady said expectantly: "How is your aunt? Are you doing well in the Leng Palace?" In fact, even she herself thought it was absurd to ask such a question. What kind of place is the Leng Palace?Can it be good?

Shui Linglong brushed back the hair from her temples, slightly raised the corners of her lips and said, "My aunt is in good health, her belly is quite big, she should give birth next month. I sent some banknotes, clothes and supplements to my aunt, Aunt asked me to tell you not to worry about her."

"Okay, okay, okay." The old lady nodded, these are not the main points, the old lady's eyes flashed, and she said, "Linglong, look... If your aunt gives birth to a prince this time, is there any possibility Get out of the cold palace?"

This is to test whether she is willing to help Shui Chenxiang out of the cold palace.Shui Linglong pretended not to understand, she blinked her bright eyes and said: "It was Lord Long Live who demoted my aunt into the palace back then, and Linglong couldn't figure out what Lord Long Live was thinking."

The old lady's breath was stuck in her chest. Did the eldest granddaughter really not understand her hint, or did she understand and didn't want to express it?The old lady held back her displeasure, and said with a smile: "Linglong, grandma is thinking that if your aunt regains her Sacred Heart, there will be another person in the Zhenbei Palace who can speak in front of the Long Live Lord. Your fourth sister has always listened to As far as your father is concerned, your father is currently more close to Pingnan Wangfu than Zhenbei Wangfu, and these two families are deadly rivals... In short, your fourth sister will not be able to help you much in the future. Your aunt is different. If you help her out of the limbo this time, she will definitely remember your kindness."

Dear grandma, my aunt was so kind that she almost sent me to the dragon bed of Lord Long Live. I will never forget this kind of kindness!

Shui Linglong suppressed her smile, and said with embarrassment: "Grandmother, this matter is not whether Linglong wants to help, but whether Linglong has the ability to help. The son's reputation was not good at the beginning, so the princess chose me as a little concubine. , but it is an indisputable fact that I married into the palace. Before I had a firm foothold in my in-law’s family, I used the power of my in-law’s family to take risks to seek a future for my aunt. What would my mother-in-law, father-in-law and even the old lady think of me? The palace has quelled the civil strife in Kashgar, and it is at the cusp of the storm, if we intervene in the family affairs of the Long Live Lord, it will inevitably make the Long Live Lord feel that we are arrogant because we are favored and have lost the rules of the monarch and ministers!"

The old lady understands what Shui Linglong said, but people are selfish, she doesn't care whether the Zhenbei Palace is dangerous or not, as long as Shui Chenxiang walks out of the cold palace safely and wins the sacred heart, she will be Amitabha!And what she never expected was that Shui Linglong would have the guts to open up these connections with her in such a way. This girl... seems to be not as easy to control as she imagined!The old lady was annoyed in her heart, but quickly turned around again, Linglong was a married daughter again, just like the water that was poured out, if she wanted her to do such a great favor, I had to give her the same great favor, But what can I do?

Shui Linglong put down her teacup and said, "Grandmother, take a break first, I'll go and see Fifth Sister, and I'll come back later to accompany you for dinner."

The old lady patted her hand: "Go! That child seems to be sick again in the past few days. Your mother invited her to see a doctor last night. She said it was a cold or something. Be careful and don't pass it." Sick."

Shui Linglong thanked her and left the Fushouyuan. Ye Mao twisted the fruit basket and followed behind her. Last time the queen rewarded a basket of lychees, she gave some to the masters of the palace, Zhuge Yu ate a few, and she took the rest. Bring it over and clear it up for Shui Ling.

When passing by a bamboo grove, Aunt Zhou suddenly came out of the forest holding Miss Six, who was more than a month old. Auntie, hello, great auntie, best wishes!"

Why do you need to do such a great gift?Shui Linglong frowned suspiciously, and said, "Aunt Zhou, get up quickly."

Aunt Zhou couldn't afford it, she continued to beg with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, maidservant... Can you say a few words?"

Shui Linglong said indifferently: "You say."

Aunt Zhou's eyes reunited with brilliance: "The feet of the concubine Zhen are slightly different from those of ordinary people. She can't walk far and falls easily. I don't know if she suffered any hardships in the palace! The maid made a few pairs of shoes, please ask the eldest aunt Help give it to Concubine Zhen!"

Remembering that last time Shui Lingyue didn't come to visit Aunt Zhou when she returned to the mansion, Shui Linglong sighed: "You ask someone to put the things in the concierge of the second gate, and I will take them with me when I go out."

Aunt Zhou blessed Fushen gratefully: "My maidservant and Miss Six thank you for your kindness!"

The midsummer in August is very hot, especially the cicadas on the trees are constantly barking, which makes people feel more irritable.

Shui Linglong wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and handed it to Ye Mao to keep it away. Ye Mao put it in the left purse, and took out a new one from the right purse, and handed it to Shui Linglong.

The woman guarding the door saluted very respectfully, Shui Linglong nodded slightly, and walked into Shui Lingqing's room.

Qiaoer was not there, only a little maid about eleven or twelve years old was sitting on a stool in the outhouse, embroidering a purse with her head down.

Shui Linglong's cold light swept away: "Where is Qiaoer?"

The little maid was shocked!After looking up and seeing the person coming, he hurriedly bowed: "Going back to the aunt, sister Qiao'er is sick and sleeping in the room, and the fifth lady has the servants take over."

Shui Linglong opened the curtain and entered the inner room.

The doors and windows are closed, the light is dim, the light green curtain covers the big bed, and there is a faint scent of rosin in the smoker.

Shui Linglong raised the curtain and lifted the quilt to see, she was stunned for a moment, where is anyone?Just a bunch of pillows!
The little maid timidly said: "Missy drinks tea, how is Missy Fifth?"

Shui Linglong's sharp eyes swept across the little girl's clear eyes, she probably didn't know, or no one in the yard knew, Shui Lingqing just disappeared out of thin air!Shui Linglong recalled Qin Fangyi's intentional approach to her and creepy smile this morning, her eyes sharpened, could it be that Qin Fangyi did something to Shui Lingqing?

Shui Linglong walked to the round table and sat down, held up the teacup and shook it, and then denied the guess in her heart, no matter how bad Shui Lingqing was, she was also Shui Hangge's daughter, and she was a daughter who did not pose any threat to Shui Lingxi, Qin Fangyi He dared not and did not need to kill Shui Lingqing.But Qin Fangyi's malicious smile really showed that she knew something!
Shui Linglong said to Ye Mao: "You go and ask Shizi to come over, just say Miss Fifth is very ill, please ask him to take a look."

After Ye Mao left, Shui Linglong ordered the little maid again, "Bring the medicine prescribed by the doctor to Miss Fifth."

Not long after, Zhuge Yu stepped into the yard, and Shui Linglong went with him to Qiaoer's room. After examining the unconscious Qiaoer's pulse, Zhuge Yu frowned: "She took the tranquilizing medicine, and she will only wake up at sunset. And she's not sick, and she's in very good health."

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Yu checked the medicinal materials prescribed by the doctor for Shui Lingqing, half of which was wind-cold medicine, and half of which was tranquilizing medicine.

I don't know what came to mind, Shui Linglong got up suddenly, walked to the dressing table, checked all the boxes and drawers inside and out, her eyes gradually became cold...

Qing'er's bracelet, which she regarded as jewelry, was gone!

Zhuge Yu knew that she always cherished this younger sister, and now that something happened to her, she might feel very uncomfortable.He walked to her side, held her cool hand, and kissed her forehead again: "You send someone to search quietly in the mansion, and I will go outside to look for her, and I will definitely find her, trust me."

Shui Linglong subconsciously wanted to lean on Zhuge Yu's shoulder, but she gave up the idea after only a moment. She withdrew her hand, blinked, and said with a complicated expression: "Please."

Zhuge Yu told Shang Shufu that there was an urgent matter in Zhenbei Wangfu, so he took Shui Linglong back to the mansion first, and took Shui Lingqing to stay in the Wangfu for a few days, and sent her back when she recovered from illness.Now that the old lady has a request from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, there is no reason why she should not agree. The old lady let go, and Shui Hangge didn't have much to say.

Before leaving, Shui Linglong found Mama Du: "Go and find out if there are any suspicious people around the gate of the house these days!"

Suspicious person?Madam Du rolled her eyes suspiciously, but she followed Shui Linglong's instructions and went to the porter to interrogate carefully, and reported truthfully when she came back: "The street in front of the Shangshu Mansion was originally lively, and there are many people walking around. It's suspicious. The guards didn't notice, but there is a vendor who sells Jiangnan desserts, his cakes are cheap and delicious, many people buy them, even the old lady sent someone to buy a few yuan."

Jiangnan pastry?Shui Linglong clenched her bare hands, her voice became a little colder: "Has anyone bought it in Miss Fifth's yard?"

Mother Du's scalp was numb by Shui Linglong's suddenly cold voice: "The people in Miss Wu's yard, think about it, it seems... the guard said that Qiao'er bought it a few times, because the number of times she bought it was based on the guards. I also remember it. But the strange thing is that the vendor is no longer here today, and he only set up a stall for two days even though the business is very good..."

Shui Linglong left Ye Mao to wait for Qiao'er to wake up, while she met Shui Hangge, and after a few pleasantries, she returned to Zhenbei Palace.

This time Qin Fangyi really didn't do anything, she just turned a blind eye and let Shui Lingqing get out of Shangshufu in disguise.If Shui Hangge really wants to blame her, she can't bear any responsibility. It's only been a few days since she took charge of the house again?Now all the people in the house are the old lady's people!And Shui Lingxi was already engaged, so she was not afraid that Shui Lingxi would not be able to find her in-law's family after Dong Chuang's incident happened. As for Shui Lingqing's life or death, that was not her concern at all.

Inside the Changle Pavilion, Qin Fangyi grinned from ear to ear, ate a lychee and spit out the core, then picked up another one.Floods hit the south this year, and lychees were priceless, but Xun Feng sent a cartful full of them to their mother and daughter!I don't know if Shui Lingyue's little hoof listened to her words and let the emperor listen to her.

Shui Lingxi looked at the smiling Qin Fangyi, frowned and asked, "Mother, how can you still laugh? Shui Linglong married such an excellent Mr. Ruyi, have you been staring at her without seeing her?"

Shui Lingxi actually didn't know if Shui Linglong was arrogant or not, she didn't look at Shui Linglong at all, from the moment Zhuge Yu appeared gracefully and calmly in Fushouyuan, she couldn't see anyone else in her eyes up.

It wasn't the first time she saw him, but...

She didn't know how to describe it, but she always felt that Zhuge Yu was very different from before. In the past, she looked at Zhuge Yu just like looking at a beautiful porcelain doll.This time, I felt that from head to toe, from the brow to the fingers, every part of him exudes a strong masculine atmosphere, and every smile or indifference expression has a relaxed and calm expression.

Every girl has a hero in her heart, and at this moment in Shui Lingxi's heart, the face of this hero gradually highlights the outline of Zhuge Yu.

Shui Lingxi blushed, and grabbed her hands so tightly that she almost rubbed a good silk handkerchief to pieces.

Qin Fangyi was immersed in her own world, not aware of her daughter's strangeness: "Mother is happy, mother has made a good marriage, this is also a merit!"

Shui Lingxi asked absently: "What is a good marriage?"

Shui Lingqing and a poor boy who ran out of nowhere!Oh, a merchant and a concubine are really a perfect match!I don't know how Shui Lingqing knew that person, but she didn't care how she did, anyway, she was happy if Shui Lingqing was disgusted enough!Of course, she won't tell her daughter about this, what if her daughter learns badly?Qin Fangyi picked up another lychee and said with a smile: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just a servant girl in the Zhuangzi matched with a servant boy in the mansion."

Shui Lingxi didn't care about this at all, but just asked Qin Fangyi's topic casually, Shui Lingxi touched her hot face, struggled for a moment, and then said softly: "Mother, I don't want to marry Xun Shizi anymore .”

Qin Fangyi's hand trembled, a round litchi rolled to the ground, the little maid quickly picked it up, Qin Fangyi raised her hand, the little maid happily wiped the dust on it with a handkerchief, then put it in her mouth, Walked out while eating.

Qin Fangyi looked at Shui Lingxi, withdrew the smile on her face, and asked, "Why don't you want to marry Xun Shizi again? Didn't you tell mother that Xun Shizi is handsome, very gracious, and very understanding of women's hearts?" ? Do you think that something happened to Pingnan Wang and his two sons, and Pingnan Wang's mansion will never recover?"

Shui Lingxi pursed her lips: "Let's just count it!"

Qin Fangyi sighed: "Daughter, mother told you that the case of the Pingnan Palace may not be without a turnaround. The prince and the third prince joined hands to bring down the Pingnan Palace, but until now they have not been able to gather all the evidence. Do you know who it is? Are you dealing with them in secret? It's Shizi Xun! He fights against a crown prince and a prince by himself, don't you think he is something in the pool?" This is the truth that Shui Hangge told her, but she never thought that There is also a time when it comes in handy, "Look, the crown prince is injured now, and the case of the Pingnan Palace has been put on hold for the time being. This is entirely the plan of Xun Shizi. You just wait to see Xun Shizi bring justice to the Pingnan Palace!"

Shui Lingxi can't hear...

Qin Fangyi thought that her daughter was simply worried about her own future, and continued to follow her advice: "You are destined to be an imperial concubine, you must firmly believe in this, if Prince Xun marries you, he will win the world in the future!"

Then I would rather marry Zhuge Yu and help him conquer the world!
These words took a turn in Shui Lingxi's stomach, and when he uttered it, it became - "Mother, I... I don't have that kind of feeling for Xun Shizi, and besides, he doesn't really like me, so what if he really likes me?" Will you only give me the position of side concubine?"

In fact, what she thought was that since she was a side concubine, she might as well marry Zhuge Yu!It's hard to say whether Xun Feng will marry a woman more beautiful than her in the future, but it's half possible!But Zhuge Yu's official concubine is Shui Linglong, the probability of her winning against Shui Linglong is [-]%, so there is no risk at all!
When Shui Linglong returned to the palace, it was just after lunch time, she didn't eat but she didn't feel hungry, so she went directly to Tian'anju to return the old matriarch and the princess, it's rare that today the princess is talking and laughing happily with others.

"... I look very good. The color is pure and the pattern is novel. It's not like the usual embroideries, which are pretty or tacky." Leng Youru looked at a round fan and commented with a slight smile.

Mrs. Zhen looked at Feng Yanying who was sitting on the opposite chair, and said happily, "Oh, you are such a lovely cousin. It's the first time I've heard the princess praise someone in the few days I've been in Beijing!"

Feng Yanying held her hand, and smiled kindly: "She just has a pair of hands that can't be idle, and she has to mess around here and there on weekdays. I'm satisfied if you don't think she's annoying, and I can't praise her! Don't dare to do it."

Dong Jialin lowered her head and smiled.

Mrs. Yao gave Feng Yanying an angry look: "Who would say that about my cousin! I saw that Lin'er really has a pair of skillful hands, and all the quilts I cover in winter are all embroidered by her herself! Those wives asked me when they saw it. Which embroidery house ordered it, I said it was my daughter-in-law's cousin, they didn't believe it at all!"

The old lady and the concubine sat on the top of the kang with mats, Mrs. Zhen, Zhuge Xi, and Yao Cheng sat at the bottom left, and Mrs. Yao, Feng Yanying, and Dong Jialin sat at the bottom right. They were probably afraid that Zhuge Shu's words would be inappropriate. The king of the county took her to fly a kite.

Although Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi have divorced in name, who doesn't know that Yao Cheng is now living in the capital of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion?The spit stars almost flooded Yao's house!A well-spoken eldest son gave up the position of patriarch and his bright future, and rushed to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to be his son-in-law, which completely embarrassed the three generations of the Yao family's ancestors!
The Yao family's attitude has always been extremely low, and the Zhenbei Palace treats them very politely.

Mrs. Zhen smiled gently and said, "Why are Mrs. Yao and Second Young Mistress free to come over today?"

Mrs. Yao glanced at Yao Cheng nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "Oh, since it's hot, I'm worried that Xiaoxi won't have much appetite, so I specially brought some appetizing fruits and pastries to Xiaoxi." It's a bit strange to come to the door after only three days after attending the banquet.
