first princess

Chapter 130 The Lantern Festival Disturbance (1)
After checking Shui Lingqing's homework in Moheyuan, Shui Linglong couldn't help showing a knowing smile. Shui Lingqing used to be so rebellious, even ran away from home at the expense of self-destruction, but now she can become so well-behaved, I have to say , her stick education lost to Zhuge Yu's warm therapy.

Shui Lingqing put down the book in her hand, blinked her flickering eyes and said, "Eldest sister, why hasn't brother-in-law come back? It's been more than a month!"

Shui Linglong tucked her temple hair behind her ears, smiled softly, "I just wrote a letter saying that I will be back in a few days."

Shui Lingqing tilted her head and said expectantly: "Can you catch up with the lantern festival three days later? I heard from Qiaoer that the lantern festival is so lively and fun!"

Shui Linglong nodded her forehead and laughed out loud: "If you want to see the Lantern Festival, just say so, and beat around the bush in front of eldest sister!"

Shui Lingqing snuggled into Shui Linglong's arms, and said sweetly: "I've never seen a lantern festival when I'm so old!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while before having dinner. Shui Linglong still didn't eat the spicy dish specially prepared for her. She was sure that there were conventional contraceptives in the dish, so she couldn't conceive a child.

After dinner, Shui Lingqing reluctantly went back to her yard, Shui Linglong called Zhifan: "Ask Liu Lu why she plays red beads."

Zhi Fan was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Miss suspects that Hong Zhu has lied?"

Liu Lu has a poisonous mouth, capricious and selfish, her servility is less than that of ordinary maids, and she is more difficult to control, but she is not stupid, she has received so many blank stares and sarcastic remarks in Shui Minyu's yard before, and she has never taken the initiative to get rough with others However, if Hong Zhu hadn't said something that was really unbearable, Liu Lu would not have exploded on the spot.Shui Linglong picked up the storybook and said calmly: "You just do it."

Zhi Fan respectfully said: "Yes, I have remembered."

Shui Linglong pursed her lips. She ate too many spicy snacks recently, so she got angry, and her lower lip had a bump.Shui Linglong put down her book, looked at the plate full of chili skin and pretzels on the table, licked her lips, and decided...to avoid it tomorrow!

"Miss! You can't eat any more!" Seeing Shui Linglong picking up another piece of pretzel full of spicy peppers, Zhi Fan hurriedly advised, "Master Shizi will be back in a few days, your mouth is swollen, Poor appearance, it is inconvenient to serve the son."

Shui Linglong compared it carefully in her heart, and still felt that the pretzels were better than Zhuge Yu: "What a big deal, you're so surprised! Just put some mint cream on it at night, so hurry up and do it Your job!"

After eating a few pieces of pretzels and drinking a glass of goat's milk, Shui Linglong took a walk in the room while touching her round belly.While walking, she was thinking of Guo Yan, God knows she would like to grow a pair of wings, fly to the border of Mobei, and hear him say that he is her Bin'er!
With Zhuge Liuyun's promise, she believed that Concubine De's people would not be able to succeed, if Concubine De was stronger than Zhuge Liuyun, Concubine De would not be attached to Zhuge Liuyun after all these years.

And another thing that made her happy was that the third princess did not report any good news, which was very different from the previous life. See, the fate of the third princess had changed. What reason did Guo Yan have to fight to the death in the previous life?
With this in mind, Shui Linglong put down the pastry in her hand, cleaned her hands, took out the embroidery basket, and made winter clothes for Guo Yan.

In her previous life, she was separated from him for five years, and she missed him so much that her heart ached. God has eyes, but in this life, they actually met again.Whether the original body is not important anymore, anyway, she will cherish him well, love him, and make up for all the shortcomings of the previous life.

Days, hurry up, hurry up...

Zhifan found Liu Lu in the house, seeing her sweaty face, she must have come back not long ago, and she didn't know what she did, her eyes were so flustered!Zhifan poured her a glass of cold water: "Where did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time." In fact, she had just left Shui Linglong's master bedroom.

Liu Lu cleared her throat, not daring to look at Zhi Fan's probing eyes, and covered up the slightest unnatural look by drinking water: "Oh, I was so stuffed up, I took a walk in the mansion for a while."

Zhifan sat down on the stool: "What are you blocking? I have advised you, don't use chicken feathers as arrows. After all, those people were sent down by the princess. They don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Even if they are more arrogant, we You have to bear with it. You are good, you refused to listen to repeated admonitions, and became addicted to bullying! What kind of status is Hongzhu, you dare to ask her to pour Yexiang! She deserves to contradict you!"

From Liu Lu's mouth, if you ask her directly, you may not be able to say that the aggressive method is more effective.

Sure enough, Liu Lu's expression sank when she heard the words: "She contradicts me less often? Don't I usually bear it? These people have eyes that grow to the top of their heads. I'm poking their spirits for the eldest lady!"

Zhi Fan keenly grasped the wrong part of her words: "Since you can bear it normally, why can't you bear it this time? In my opinion, you are just arrogant and complacent, and you take yourself too seriously! You are a big The young lady's maid beat the person sent by the princess, if the young lady hadn't been clever enough to behave herself in front of the old majesty, there would be rumors that the young lady disrespected her mother-in-law in the manor tomorrow!"

"You..." Liu Lu glared at Zhifan, sat down too, suppressed her anger and said, "You don't have to provoke me, I didn't intend to hide this matter from you, even if the eldest lady asks, I will tell the truth. You Do you know what that bitch Hongzhu said? She said that the eldest lady had an affair with the prince. First, the eldest lady rescued the prince in the Yao Mansion. That time happened to coincide with the second lady's illness, and then the prince rushed into the palace regardless of life and death. Rescuing the eldest lady in the fire scene, no one in the capital knows who doesn't know? I was really impatient, and I was afraid that she would spread the word, so I beat her."

"Nonsense! That time it was the empress who ordered the crown prince to rescue the imperial concubine! The eldest lady was just inside by the way!" This is the official statement, but as slaves, they must insist on it!Zhi Fan looked at Liu Lu with an expression of disbelief, and said again, "No wonder you didn't puncture Hong Zhu when she was talking nonsense, but luckily you held back, if not, she tried her best to deny that she said that, and you would Become the instigator of the gossip and gossip about the eldest lady and His Royal Highness in the palace. If you really get to that point, the first person who can't get around you is the eldest son."

After a pause, Zhi Fan nodded Liu Lu's forehead, "It's probably because of your disastrous face that arouses people's envy!"

Liu Lu opened Zhifan's hand, but inadvertently revealed a very delicate twisted gold emerald bracelet, and Zhifan grabbed her wrist, "Where did you get it? I don't remember you having such a precious item!"

Liu Lu pulled Zhi Fan down, muttered a few words in a low voice, Zhi Fan's expression changed, "So... there is such a thing?"

In the Xianglan courtyard, Zhuge Shu was sitting on a stool, and Mrs. Zhen picked up a feather duster and brushed it hard at her arm!
Liu Zhu was shocked, and quickly hugged Zhuge Shu and took this heavy blow for her. She frowned in pain and broke out in cold sweat.

Zhen was dizzy and shook her head in anger, her chest heaved for a while, like a continuous sea wave, stirring up countless waves: "Get out of here! Stay outside, no one is allowed to come in! Otherwise, I will kill one by one! "

Hu Po tugged at Liu Zhu's skirt and signaled her to go out. They, as slaves, could not interfere with this kind of thing.

Liuzhu didn't feel sorry for Zhuge Shu at all, she was more concerned about the future of the second wife, if the second wife really broke Zhuge Shu, the old lady would definitely resent her, without the protection of the patriarch, the old lady is the only one right now The big tree, the second wife is determined not to offend the old matriarch.

Liu Zhu reminded: "Second Madam, the old lady loves Fourth Miss, you can swear, but don't be violent."

Zhen Shi waved her hand, Liu Zhu and Hu Po stepped back.

Mrs. Zhen threw down the feather duster, and said in a calm tone, "Shu'er, tell your mother the truth, on the day your second brother and Miss Lin got married, when you pushed Miss Lin out of the bath, were you...drunk or not?" ?”

Zhuge Shu's heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale...

When Zhen looked at her daughter's expression, combined with the scene she saw in the pavilion earlier, how could there be any reason she didn't understand?Her daughter didn't accidentally knock Miss Lin into the hot pool, but on purpose!

Zhen thumped her heart in grief: "What crime did I do? How could my daughter be a mad devil?"

Zhuge Shu fell to her knees at Zhen's feet, and begged tearfully, "Mother, you... don't tell second brother, I beg you..."

Seeing her always stubborn and proud daughter humbled like a slave at this moment, the fire that Zhen's finally suppressed ignited again in her pleading: "Wake up! You and your second brother are siblings! How can you Have such unethical feelings for him? Hurry up and stop this idea for me!"

Zhuge Shu's teardrops fell down.

Zhen pressed her temples and roared, "Liuzhu! Amber! Come in!"

Two servant girls entered the room tremblingly.

Zhen sternly said: "Miss Si caught the wind and cold, take Si Miss down, no one is allowed to visit without my order! Miss Si is not allowed to go out without permission!"

After Zhuge Shu settled down, Liuzhu went back to Mrs. Zhen, seeing how haggard Mrs. Zhen seemed to have aged ten years overnight, she sighed slightly: "The most important thing right now, Ma'am, is to find a way to deal with King Cheng. It is true that King Cheng was at fault first, but at that time he was drunk, but Miss Si was sober, and she pushed him down the steps without giving King Cheng a chance to explain, causing King Cheng to be very angry. Even though, as King An said later, he was protecting himself and had no intention of hurting anyone, he was still hurt."

Thinking of the trouble her daughter caused, Zhen's head hurts!Cheng Junwang is not a thing, even a little girl who is not as good as Ji is not spared!

Liuzhu suggested: "Look, should we discuss this matter with the prince and concubine, and ask them to help us deal with it once or twice?"

Mrs. Zhen waved her hand, disapproving: "That's not necessary. Although the king of Chengjun is a mess, he has an upright father. He was wrong about this matter. Shu'er is a child. How can he care about a child? Besides With Qiao Xu present, he always wants to speak for us."

Liuzhu nodded: "That's the reason. Liulu's side..."

The anger in Zhen's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a smile with unknown meaning: "She only saw King An and King Cheng fighting, but she didn't see the one behind. Nu'er came back behind Liu Lu, slave Nu'er doesn't know anything, so it's even more impossible for Liu Lu who arrived earlier than Nu'er to discover the truth behind."

Liuzhu looked at Zhen's meaningful smile, and she felt deep doubts in her heart. She saw the bracelet given to Liu Lu by the second lady. It was a birthday present given to the second lady by the old lady. It is enough to give money, but I gave it to an object that the second wife loves for 10 minutes!

Could it be that the second lady wants to bribe Liu Lu to be an internal response?
No, Liu Lu's old lady is in the Shangshu Mansion, it is impossible for her to betray the imperial concubine, if she must be bribed, the orphan Zhi Fan is the first choice.

And looking at the expression of the second lady, it is obvious that there is a certain purpose, then, what is the second lady planning to do?
Mrs. Zhen didn't notice Liuzhu's strangeness, so she held back her momentary pleasure and got back to business: "I'll write a letter to Mrs. Qiao, and if you send it overnight, you must personally deliver it to Mrs. Qiao, understand?"

In Mohe Courtyard, Shui Linglong had just finished her walk to digest food, and Mother Zhong cut a plate of honeydew melon and came in. Shui Linglong couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so she sat down with Mother Zhong, took a piece of honeydew melon and brought it to her lips, Smiling gently: "You eat too."

Mama Zhong was so moved that she burst into tears. She was indeed sad for a while after the young lady's temperament changed drastically, but now she was relieved.

Shui Linglong stretched out her hand and touched the blood scab on Zhong's mother's forehead: "Does it hurt?"

Mama Zhong shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little bit of skin! I didn't stand still, I fell, and I don't do other people's business! Really! You...don't be angry with them because of this, okay?"

Shui Linglong looked at a plate of fragrant fruits, and suddenly lost her appetite. She respected Zhong's mother, so she didn't show any face, but said in a normal tone: "I know what to do, you go back to the room and rest."

I thought Mother Zhong was sincerely holding the fruit for her to eat, but I didn't expect that she was pleading for Hong Zhu and the others in disguise!Mama Zhong's temperament is that one thing is worse than one thing. She understands that what she cares about is not Mama Zhong's pleading behavior, but that Mama Zhong has learned to use her compassion for her to achieve a certain purpose!Although the starting point is for her good!

This time I begged her, but if the situation is serious next time, will she have to force her?

Mother Zhong touched a soft nail, smiled awkwardly, got up and left the house.

Zhi Fan happened to ask for news from Liu Lu, and when she came in, she heard the conversation between the two, and saw the frustrated look on Mama Zhong's face when she turned her back, she put down the curtain, walked to Shui Linglong and said, "Mama Zhong I'm afraid I'm sad, but in fact, you don't need to tell Mama Zhong if you are angry with Hong Zhu and the others, and if you say yes, Mama Zhong's heart will be eased."

Shui Linglong glanced at the confused Zhifan: "Usually you look very smart, but at critical moments, your mind turns into lard! If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, then there will be three. If I agree with Mama Zhong today, I will pay you back in the future." Mother Zhong must be the spear that those people use against me!"

Zhi Fan's almond-shaped eyes widened: "Miss, do you mean that Mama Zhong's pleading was instigated by someone?"

If this is the case, then the eldest miss will cut off the hope of those people once, and Mama Zhong will not be used endlessly.She has always thought that the young lady has no heart, and the reason why she treats Mama Zhong well is because she respects the wet nurse, but now it seems that she has misunderstood the young lady.

Zhi Fan smiled gratifiedly, and repeated what Hong Zhu had said to provoke Liu Lu on purpose: "...Miss, it's justifiable for Liu Lu to make a move."

"What? Do you think I've punished Liu Lu and Lu Lu severely?" Shui Linglong raised her voice, obviously displeased.

Zhi Fan lowered her eyes: "I don't dare."

Shui Linglong said: "Just because she always bullies others, this fine is not unfair at all! Also, you send someone to keep an eye on Hong Zhu's movements. Maybe gathering people to fight is just an appetizer, the main event behind."

Zhi Fan respectfully complied, and then told the whole story about Liu Lu's encounter with King An and King Cheng, and about Liu Lu's reporting to Mrs. Zhen: "...the second lady felt that Liu Lu had done a good job in reporting the letter, so she rewarded her Gold bracelet."

"That's all?" Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows. Liu Lu was annoyed that Mrs. Zhen was instigating her to do coolies, and secretly scolded Mrs. Zhen. Now, she would be so kind as to inform Mrs. Zhen so that Mrs. Zhen could go out in time?
Zhifan nodded: "That's all she told me." Could it be that Liu Lu was hiding something?
Liu Lu did conceal part of the truth of the incident, just as Shui Linglong suspected, Liu Lu didn't have the kindness to inform Zhen Shi, she just wanted Zhen Zhen to see her daughter and son commit such scandalous things and jump up in anger.But Liu Lu didn't tell anyone about Zhuge Shu's kissing King An.

Even to Mrs. Zhen, Liu Lu only said: "It's not good, it's not good! Second lady, you should go and see it quickly! I don't know who the king of Chengjun is fighting with! That man is well dressed, and the servant must be from a noble family. My son! I don't know if the people next to them have persuaded the two of them!" She specially took a short cut and ran all the way to enter Zhen's yard before Nu'er, clearing away the suspicion in terms of time.

In Tiananju, the old matriarch and Shui Linglong were sitting on the kang. Ever since Shui Linglong "frightened" the old matriarch once, the old matriarch has been very obedient when eating, occasionally wanting to eat sweets, but holding back.

The old matriarch and Shui Linglong turned the flower rope while smiling and said: "Has Yu'er started?"

Shui Linglong smiled shyly: "Well, we will arrive in the capital in seven days."

The old matriarch looked at Shui Linglong's flat belly, narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, "When Yu'er comes back, you don't have to greet me, whoever wants to sleep as long as you want!" She wants to work as long as she wants at night, and she wants a great-grandson!

How could Shui Linglong not understand what the old lady meant?He turned the flower rope into a new look, and gave a soft "huh".

The old lady liked Shui Linglong's shy appearance the most, and immediately pinched her tender face with her hands, but the "bridge" that she had managed to pull out was destroyed in one fell swoop.

The old lady threw the string away in frustration: "Stop playing with this, childish!"

Shui Linglong snickered in her heart, but she showed a calm look on her face: "When Second Aunt comes back, how about we play leaf cards together at a table?"
