first princess

Chapter 139 The Reunion (5)
With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

In the 21st year of Emperor Jing, the Mobei War was victorious, and Guo Yan embarked on the road back to Beijing with the letter of surrender from the Tai royal family.

On the first day of the new year, the sky cleared up and the ground was covered with snow. Looking from a distance, the entire palace was a vast expanse of white.

Shui Linglong is greedy for warmth, so she nestles in the quilt and stays out of bed.

Zhuge Yu got up to change his clothes. He always prefers ink colors and doesn't like complicated totems. Today, he also wore a silver brocade suit with water-reflecting patterns, and a white jade pendant hung around his waist. It matched the exquisite jade pendant. The tassels of the jade pendant last night Shui Linglong tied it into a small concentric knot, he likes it very much!

He smiled narrowly at Shui Linglong!
Shui Linglong remembered the madness and presumptuousness of last night, her cheeks felt hot, and she quickly tucked her head into the quilt.

Zhuge Yu smiled lightly, with a hint of evil charm and uninhibitedness, and his tone was even more twisted and twisted, making people dizzy: "Now you know how to be shy, huh?"

Shui Linglong swears that she will never have sex with another woman again, it's really hard to get off!

Zhuge Yu went to the closet, opened the closet door, and began to choose today's outfit for her, a red embroidered apron apron, a pair of plain white cotton underpants, a set of cotton underwear of the same color, and a blue narrow The long coat with the waist slanted, the short coat looks better, but the long coat is warm.

The moment Shui Linglong watched him hold the panties in her palm, her expression changed instantly...

After choosing the clothes, Zhuge Yu took off his shoes and went to bed, hugged her together with the quilt between his legs, and dressed her neatly, even the most loving father in the world is nothing more than this for his daughter.

After the two washed up, they went to Tian'anju to pay New Year's greetings to the old matriarch. Shui Linglong's right hand was placed in a hand warmer, and Zhuge Yu held her left hand.On the road, the cold wind howled, like a knife scraping a person's face, causing pain and pain, breathing into the air, like a white mist, making people feel colder and colder.

Not long after walking, Shui Linglong's little ears turned red from the cold, Zhuge Yu stopped, stuffed her left hand into a warm hand to cover, rubbed her cold ears with his fingertips, and said to Zhifan: "Take Come here with that silver fox cloak."

Zhifan turned around and ran into Mohe Courtyard, took the cloak Zhuge Yu requested, Zhuge Yu put it on Shui Linglong, tied it with a ribbon, and then led her to walk again.

The corner of Shui Linglong's mouth raised an uncontrollable arc, and after looking around, she smacked Zhuge Yu's handsome face with lightning speed...

In Tian'an Residence, Zhuge Liuyun and Leng Youru accompanied the old lady sitting on the kang, and Mrs. Zhen sat on the raised chair beside her. Everyone's faces were filled with beaming smiles, even the indifferent Leng Youru kept it up. A faint smile.

When Leng Youru let go of her self-esteem and took the initiative to keep Zhuge Liuyun, the cold war between the two of them for more than a month came to an end, and the rumors about Leng Youru falling out of favor were also self-defeating.From everyone's point of view, a direct wife is a direct wife, not comparable to one or two concubines who seduce the Lord, so what if Zhao Yun is favored?Still can't shake the position of the princess in the prince's mind!
Shui Linglong doesn't think much of it, she looks beautiful on the outside and her heart is hesitant, and only the person involved can understand the feeling. If Zhuge Liuyun was a prodigal son from the beginning, maybe Leng Youru didn't have such a reaction in her heart, but Zhuge Liuyun has been the same for 20 years Leng Youru has long been used to the days when Zhuge Liuyun must be loyal to her no matter whether she loves Zhuge Liuyun or not. Now that this balance has been ruthlessly broken, how could she feel better? ?

Furthermore, Leng Youru and Zhuge Liuyun's reconciliation of their previous suspicions was all due to their self-esteem!I don't know, as proud as she is, did she suffer so much that her heart bleeds when she asked her husband to forgive her?

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone greeted each other, and then the juniors kowtowed to the elders one by one, and the elders handed out red envelopes one by one.Except for Zhuge Shu's annoyed expression, everyone else smiled.

Qiao Hui and Prince An are inseparable, and the newlywed Yan Er thinks that the husband and wife get along fairly well.

If it is said that Dong Jialin always puts on an easy-going look of the master in a graceful manner, Qiao Hui is as reserved as a guest who has not been able to integrate into the big family. She usually doesn't take much cakes and snacks from the maids, and she doesn't take the initiative to talk to the boss. When the Taijun or the elders talk to each other, they only answer a few words respectfully when they are asked. The words are not many, but they are concise and to the point.

The old matriarch Jun's beaming eyes swept over Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui's stomachs, and said with a smile, "Oh, whoever will give me a great-grandson first, I will earn a month's gold for whoever!"

Qiao Hui smiled shyly and timidly: "Of course it's my sister-in-law's first. The relationship between my sister-in-law and my brother is so good, maybe we will hear the good news next month!"

Hearing this, Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched!
Zhen's here has no silver 300 taels and said: "You just learn from them, Ming'er work harder!"

King An Jun was slightly ashamed, but said solemnly: "Understood, mother."

Qiao Hui looked at Zhuge Yu who was peeling oranges for Shui Linglong, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. No matter how hard she and the county king tried to cultivate their relationship, there was still Dong Jialin in the middle.

Several people chatted and laughed for a while, and had breakfast together, and after a while, everyone dispersed.Shui Linglong noticed that Leng Youru seemed to be deliberately pushing Zhuge Liuyun to her courtyard, Zhuge Liuyun showed hesitation, looked at Uncle Yu outside the door, shook his head, and went back to the main courtyard!

Shui Linglong also looked at Bo Yu instantly, but she was fast, Bo Yu was faster than her, in the blink of an eye Bo Yu had already turned his face away to hide his expression.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows suspiciously!

At this time, Qiao Hui came over, smiled gently and humbly: "I have made an appointment with elder brother to play chess, I am idle and bored, I just happen to be not very familiar with the environment in the mansion, please ask sister-in-law to take me for a stroll, okay? "

Shui Linglong looked at Prince An, who was trying hard to curry favor with Zhuge Yu and was smiling brightly, thought of something, smiled and said: "Okay."

Saying goodbye to their husbands, the two walked out together.Along the way, Shui Linglong patiently introduced the landscape and courtyards of the mansion to her: "This is a place where a stage is specially built, and the wind is very cool in summer... This is the Qingya courtyard, the courtyard of the elder sister, and the Qingyou courtyard of the mother and concubine. It is only separated by a small plum grove, and if you cross the small plum grove, you will arrive in half an hour..."

Qiao Hui listened very carefully and tried her best to remember the names of each courtyard.

When she walked to a courtyard full of wintersweet, Shui Linglong showed a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment: "Let's... go ahead and have a look!"

Qiao Hui naturally didn't ignore any of the expressions on Shui Linglong's face. She looked inside, except that it was very brand new and clean... nothing else!Why is it inconvenient for sister-in-law to mention her?
While thinking about it, Shui Linglong had already stepped away.Qiao Hui raised her head, looked at the gold plaque, and secretly wrote down its name.

"You don't have to feel aggrieved. It is your blessing that the princess is willing to teach you personally! The prince is a person who handles important affairs. Isn't it an overkill to waste time on a servant girl all day long?" Qiao's mother reprimanded her coldly. willow green.

Liu Lu glared angrily at this old woman holding a chicken feather as an arrow, wishing she could rush up and tear her mouth open!
Her expression fell into the eyes of Qiao's mother, and Qiao's mother suddenly turned up the volume: "Are you still staring at me? I ordered you to go to Qingyouyuan at the order of the princess! If you disrespect me, it is equal to disrespecting the princess, you know what?" ?”

Liu Lu curled her lips, and blessed Fushen reluctantly: "I know, please, Mama Qiao, forgive me."

Qiao's mother was so angry that she grew her eyes on the top of her head just because she was somewhat favored by the prince!Are all maids now so defiant?
Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui came across this scene while strolling around, Qiao Hui was shocked again, a woman not far away passed a light green embroidered lilac long jacket, lined with a yellow skirt, only pearls could be seen When the breeze blows, the skirt sways lightly, like the twinkling stars in the sky, shining brightly in an instant.Looking up slowly, she landed on her face with picturesque eyebrows and firm skin. Qiao Hui gasped, what a beautiful woman!

When Qiao Hui sized up Qiao's mother and Liu Lu, Qiao's mother also looked at them. When her eyes touched Shui Linglong, Qiao's mother snorted, but in a blink of an eye she pulled Liu Lu to the two of them: "To the concubine Shizi Greetings, greetings to Second Young Mistress!"

Liu Lu also said: "This servant has seen the concubine and the second young lady!"

Shui Linglong smiled faintly, "Where is Mother Qiao taking Zhaoyun?"

Zhao Yun?The prince's new favorite?The amazement in Qiao Hui's eyes faded in an instant, revealing a touch of contempt. No matter how beautiful and noble a woman is, being a concubine would degrade her self-worth.

Qiao's mother replied in the usual tone: "If you go back to Shizifei, the princess will ask Zhaoyun to go to Qingyouyuan, and teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from now on, so that she can serve the prince better."

Leng Youru is really generous, I don't know if this is another way to curry favor with Zhuge Liuyun, or...

Shui Linglong smiled: "Oh, that's it, the concubine mother is still seriously ill, please tell the concubine mother that nothing is more important than her body, pay more attention to rest."

Qiao's mother said politely: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine, your filial piety will be conveyed to the concubine truthfully!"

From the beginning to the end, Shui Linglong and Liu Lu didn't look at each other, as if they were not masters and servants before, but now they have become strangers.

After the episode was over, Shui Linglong continued to take Qiao Hui to visit the garden, but obviously, Qiao Hui was in no mood to stroll around.She was full of thoughts, and what Shui Linglong said basically went into her left ear and out of her right ear.It wasn't until Shui Linglong asked her if she wanted to come in to sit at the gate of Mohe Courtyard that she asked with a pale face, "Sister-in-law, my lord...does he love Zhaoyun very much?" As if trying to cover up something, she added, " I am very sad for the princess, I have been in love with the prince for more than 20 years, and suddenly there is such a beautiful maid, how can I accept it?"

Shui Linglong showed a thoughtful look: "We are the younger generation who don't like to comment on the elders. What about Zhaoyun is passed down by the subordinates. I can't say for sure."

Qiao Hui's face turned pale: "I'm outspoken, don't blame me, sister-in-law."

"No." Shui Linglong nodded with a smile, turned around and entered the room, Qiao Hui started to go back to Pingtingxuan, but stopped halfway, and the words "Bauhinia Courtyard" involuntarily appeared in her mind. Xiu'er, the servant girl, ordered, "Quietly find out who lives in the Bauhinia Courtyard, and what's the situation. Find out carefully! And... be smart!"

Xiu'er understood Qiao Hui's meaning and nodded, "Yes! I'll do it now, servant girl!"

...

At a fork in the road surrounded by mountains, Guo Yan and a group of cronies stopped by the roadside to rest. The deputy general took out a cold steamed bun and a water bag, handed them to Guo Yan, and said: "General! Eat something! Later We still have to hurry!"

How could Guo Yan be in the mood to eat?He wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly back!Linglong made so many clothes for him and sent so many things, she must miss him!As for why this happened, he could only attribute it to the fact that he cultivated a relationship with her very well!Anyway... he just wanted to see her right away!

"Eat it!" Guo Yan waved his hand, looked at the soldiers who were eating steamed buns and drinking snow water, his eyes moved, and he said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"No hard work!" With one voice!
Guo Yan looked away, took out the map from his pocket, and compared the official road in front of him with the path on the right. Except for the deserted path, the path was not dangerous, and a group of soldiers on the battlefield were not afraid of any poisonous snakes, beasts, bandits and thieves. , taking the trail can save about two to three days of time.

Guo Yan's decision was made quickly: "Feed the horses some food and take the path!"

"Princess! Is it right for us to do this? It is obvious that we are here to pray for the Queen and the Long Live Lord, and sneak away... If found out, the Empress will be so angry that she will kill someone!" Bronze looked at his men's clothes, and touched Touching the two fake mustaches at the corners of his mouth, he lowered his voice and asked tremblingly.

The third princess patted her on the head with a folding fan, raised her little head with a man's hair bun, and snorted disapprovingly: "You are stupid! I told you not to be disturbed for ten days! Could it be that I can't find my son-in-law for ten days?" ? Just come back on time! Stop being wordy, and get on the carriage!"

"Princess..." Bronze whispered, and the third princess knocked on her again, "Young Master!"

Bronze pouted in aggrieved manner: "Master, the son-in-law is going to return anyway, why are you so impatient?"

The third princess sighed quietly: "You have never liked anyone, you don't understand."

In order to deceive others, they changed into men's clothes, slipped out through the back door, mixed with the pilgrims, and easily got out of the temple.

The coachman tightened his cloak and asked, "Master, there are many roads to the north. Should we take the official road or the small road? The small road is fast, but it is easy to encounter robbers and ferocious beasts that come out to look for food. Slow down, but safe."

The third princess thought for a while, and with a thick voice, she pretended to be deep and said: "Let me ask you, which way will the soldiers and soldiers of our Great Zhou Dynasty go when they return to the court?"

The coachman smiled: "Of course it's the official way! How can a soldier take a side road? This is not in line with the style of an official? They all want to accept the worship and welcome of the people along the way!"

Worship?welcome?Hee hee... Her Guo Yan is really capable!The third princess showed a little bit of complacency: "Take the official way!"
