first princess

Chapter 106
Zhuge Xi occasionally glanced sideways, and noticed Yao Cheng's eyes flicker, avoiding her visit.Zhuge Xi's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes darkened a little.

The old lady said with bright eyes, "The two children are always together, and it is good to move around more." There was no mention of their remarriage, nor did they say anything wrong with their current situation.

Mrs. Yao didn't have much contact with the old matriarch, and she still couldn't figure out the character of the old matriarch, so she picked up nice words and said: "The old matriarch is reasonable, I will visit Xiaoxi more often when I have time. .”

Leng Youru looked up at the glaring sunlight outside the door, and said calmly, "It's hot, running back and forth is easy to get heatstroke, Mrs. Yao be careful."

Mrs. Yao has old cold legs, and they get cramps in pain as soon as the winter comes. It is actually not very comfortable to walk a lot on weekdays.Zhuge Xi also looked outside the door, his eyes darkened a bit.

"The princess is here."

Following the report from the maid outside the door, Shui Linglong stepped into the bright hall. After seeing the people in the room, she was slightly surprised, but still greeted everyone calmly.

The old matriarch's eyes narrowed into two crescent moons the moment she saw Shui Linglong. Linglong is the grandson's daughter-in-law, and only with a grandson's daughter-in-law can there be a great-grandson. …

"Come here, sit next to grandma." The old matriarch beckoned to Shui Linglong, Ping'er hurriedly moved a stick and put it beside the old matriarch, Shui Linglong walked over and sat down, and the old matriarch peeled one The lychee, which she was reluctant to eat, was sent to Shui Linglong's mouth, "Quenches your thirst."

Shui Linglong ate it with a smile, and the old matriarch squinted and smiled: "Good boy!"

The old lady put a whole plate of lychees in Shui Linglong's hands again: "Eat, they still have some after eating."

Mrs. Yao was heartbroken. The old matriarch obviously loved Linglong more than Xiaoxi. Poor Xiaoxi still had one in her stomach, and she was so unpopular!
Feng Yanying bowed her head and remained silent. In fact, in Yao's house, Mrs. Yao and her mother-in-law treated Zhuge Xi better than her, even though Zhuge Xi had nothing to offer and she gave birth to two sons.It is impossible to say that there is not a trace of imbalance in her heart, so while she feels sorry for Zhuge Xi, she also feels a little "so you have such a day"... Sigh!People are complicated!
Mrs. Yao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, smiled, and said, "It's getting late, we should go back home." After saying that, she gave Zhuge Xi an undisguised look.

Leng Youru said indifferently: "Xiaoxi, you and Yao Cheng will see Mrs. Yao off."

"Yes, concubine mother." Zhuge Xi bowed respectfully, and Yao Cheng sent Mrs. Yao off, while Dong Jialin walked out hand in hand with Feng Yanying.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, it seems that today's princess is not so unreal.Usually she only wears a plain white skirt, but today she is wearing a purple gauze skirt, the skirt is embellished with jade beads, the shiny luster is like her fair skin, instantly charming.

Princess dressed up... really beautiful...

After leaving Tian'anju, Mrs. Yao gave Mama Lin a wink. Mama Lin quickly handed the two food boxes prepared early in the morning to Hua Rong. Hua Rong twisted it, and it was heavy, not like... cakes!
Mrs. Yao took Zhuge Xi's hand and said, "Xiao Xi, I know you love to eat lychees. The empress ordered someone to send some back to the old matriarch yesterday. The old matriarch left some for Tong Geer and Zhi Geer. A few tooth-beating offerings, I brought you all the rest, and you can give or reward others if you can't finish it."

When Zhuge Xi heard that Brother Zhi and Brother Tong didn't have to eat, he couldn't help but feel guilty: "I'll just keep one box, and Brother Zhi and Brother Tong will take the other box back."

Mrs. Yao glanced at Yao Cheng who looked slightly downcast from the corner of her eye, and said with a smile, "You and Yao Cheng eat together."

Zhuge Xi was a little unhappy when he heard this, was he afraid that Yao Cheng would suffer in the palace?Could it be that she has all the good things to herself and won't share them with Yao Cheng?

Mrs. Yao did have this kind of worry. Thinking of the past at the Yao family, all of them treated Zhuge Xi better than Feng Yanying, but the person they loved the most was always Yao Cheng, and they had to be close to Yao Cheng first. Now that Yao Cheng has come to Zhuge's house, she will naturally worry that everyone in Zhuge's family will favor Zhuge Xi, ignoring Yao Cheng's preferences, especially now that Yao Cheng has no official position and has a strange disease... It is easy to be disgusted by others, she is a mother I often wake up crying in my dreams...

Yao Cheng noticed that Mrs. Yao's eyes were red, he stepped forward to block Zhuge Xi's sight, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

No matter how broken Mrs. Yao's mouth was, she didn't want her son to worry about her. She quickly wiped away her tears and smiled big: "It's nothing, I got sand in my eyes. You are good to accompany Xiao Xi, mother will go back first."

The moment Mrs. Yao turned around, Yao Chengming saw a few white hairs from her black temples...

After everyone had left, Zhuge Xi asked Yao Cheng, "Yao Cheng, did you and you send your mother here?"

Yao Cheng had become extremely sensitive recently, and at this moment he suddenly saw the white hair on his mother's head making a mess of discomfort. Therefore, Zhuge Xi's sparse and ordinary tone gave birth to a sense of irony in his ears, He frowned, and his tone was not very good: "Does my mother have to get your approval when she comes to visit me in the mansion?" In fact, he told his mother that the old lady valued Linglong more than Xiao Xi, and he felt distressed and made his mother Come to care about Xiaoxi.

Zhuge Xi originally wanted to say that Mrs. Yao's legs are not good. Some time ago, she had hurt her legs in order to take care of her. Why is Yao Cheng so ignorant and let his mother walk around?But before she could ask her questions, Yao Cheng sprayed her all over the face first!Zhuge Xi's face darkened: "Your mother is really worried about you staying in the palace, isn't she? Your whole family thinks I'm bullying you, don't you?"

Yao Cheng's heart ached slightly: "What do you mean by 'your whole family'? Zhuge Xi, you always treat me like an outsider!"

Zhuge Xi's temper was already bad, and now she is pregnant again. Under the hormonal disorder, she was so angry that she lost all reason: "Yao Cheng! I have already accommodated you so much, how can you say that I treat you as an outsider!"

He wakes up every day and asks: "Huh? Xiaoxi, why am I in your boudoir? You forgive me? Won't you make up with me?"

Then, she would answer every time: "Yao Cheng, listen to me, now it's... number, and for some reason, you can't remember what happened after April No. 18, and you wrote it down in the booklet. If you don’t believe me, you can read it yourself. Then you are right, I forgive you, we are together again...and, I am pregnant with your child..."

Day after day, each time is a new memory for Yao Cheng, but it is the superposition of countless memories for her.Every time Yao Cheng finished reading the brochure, he would hug her and say, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, I have caused you trouble."

She has to listen to this kind of "I'm sorry" every day, and she has to act very moved every time, because Yao Cheng is becoming more and more sensitive, and even if she shows the slightest indifference, he will get into the wrong place, sitting alone in the clean room for a whole morning …

What Yao Cheng remembered with his pen was only important events, and he couldn't understand Zhuge Xi's suffering. He was severely hurt by the sentence "I have accommodated you so much". What is the shortcoming that she easily accepts?Even a little dude like Zhuge Yu has become a general on the battlefield, but his imposing third-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing has been reduced to a wimp who hangs around women all day long. No wonder...it is disgusting!
Zhuge Xi found that Yao Cheng had fallen into a strange silence, and suddenly wondered if her words had hurt him, she stretched out her hand to pull Yao Cheng: "I'm tired, let's go back to the room to rest, shall we?"

Yao Cheng smiled nonchalantly: "Okay."

Dong Jialin took Feng Yanying's hand and walked to the second entrance. Feng Yanying stopped and said, "Let's go here. The rules of the Wang's Mansion are no less than those of Yao's Mansion, so you should pay attention."

Dong Jialin said softly: "Yes, I remember."

Feng Yanying looked around, and made sure there were no outsiders and whispered: "You are not young, and your uncle and aunt are not here. I will handle your marriage for you, but I will try my best to respect your wishes."

Dong Jialin's eyes flickered, and she said, "Thank you cousin for your concern, I know it well."

Feng Yanying hesitated to speak, but finally turned around and left the second door.

"Are you still used to the food in the public school?" Leng Youru asked Xiang Shui Linglong calmly.

Shui Linglong took the lychees handed over by the old matriarch, and said respectfully: "If you go back to your mother and concubine, you can get used to it."

Leng Youru held the corners of her lips, her smile seemed to be there or not: "I heard from Xiaoxi and Yu'er that you like spicy food, from now on I will order the kitchen to add another dish for you every meal."

Gave a sweet date?
Shui Linglong was flattered and blessed Fushenzi: "Thank you, Mother Concubine."

Leng Youru said again: "Yu'er is not used to spicy food, and if she indulges you occasionally, don't take it seriously."

Ring the bell!
Shui Linglong blinked, and thought, I can't bear to eat it myself, can I give it to him? "Yes, concubine mother, I remember."

The old matriarch just glanced at Leng Youru, with a complicated look on her face, as if she wanted to say a few words for Shui Linglong but was unable to speak because of some reason.

Shui Linglong felt that something must have happened in the palace that she didn't know about, and it was related to the princess.

After returning to Mohe Courtyard, Zhuge Yu hadn't come back yet, neither had Ye Mao.Shui Linglong walked around to the desk, spread out the paper, and began to practice calligraphy with a pen.

Shui Linglong wrote the word "Qing", looked at Liu Lu and Zhi Fan, and asked casually, "Why aren't you talking today?"

Liu Lu lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Zhi Fantian said with a smile on his face: "Probably because Ye Mao is missing, there is no one to quarrel with!"

Mother Zhong took over Zhifan's words: "Why hasn't Ye Mao come back yet? Isn't he just sorting out some old clothes? Oh, miss, let me go if you want to bring something next time."

Shui Linglong didn't tell anyone else about Shui Lingqing's matter. The less people know about this kind of scandal, the better. Shui Linglong dipped a brush in the ink and continued to practice calligraphy: "It's okay, anyway... no rush." ​​No wonder, she Anxious!
Zhifan raised her eyes to look at Shui Linglong, and vaguely felt that Ye Mao's stay in the Shangshu Mansion was not just a simple matter of packing clothes, but as if she was doing a...very secret matter for the young lady!The sense of crisis in Zhi Fan's heart suddenly rose. In the past, the most important maid of the eldest lady was her. Whether it was a good thing or a dirty thing, she knew it for the first time. She enjoyed the spiritual difference from other girls. The treatment of a servant, but now... the eldest lady seems to be ignoring her!

Could it be that the eldest miss saw her thoughts on the son, so she had the idea of ​​"cutting her off before the time comes"?

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhifan's palms and back, and it was at this moment that she truly felt the possibility of losing everything.

If you put your mind to it and do things honestly, you will have a stable job, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and a chance to appreciate beautiful men; if you don't take your mind to it, you will lose your stable job and your comfortable room. Living on the streets, meeting countless evil men...

Zhifan took a deep breath, she is really crazy to be a roommate for the prince in a whimsical way!

Being a close servant girl, she gets used to it after using it for a long time, and Shui Linglong doesn't want to get rid of any of them unless she has to. Do you really think she doesn't know about Zhi Fan and Liu Lu's troubles?Today she brought Ye Mao specially to sound the last alarm for Zhifan. Ruo Zhifan wakes up and she treats her the same as before, Ruo Zhifan is stubborn...Hmph, pinch to death!
For dinner, there was indeed an extra spicy dish on the table, which was beef tripe in sesame oil. Shui Linglong didn't eat lunch, and was so hungry that she ate two bowls of rice with a plate of tripe. As for the other dishes, Except for the fish-flavored eggplant, which she picked up with two chopsticks, she didn't touch anything else.

Mother Zhong waited for others to go down to eat with food, and Ye Mao came back.

Shui Linglong closed the door and said straight to the point: "Qiaoer is awake, what did she say?"

Ye Mao walked too fast, and he was still out of breath at the moment: "Qiaoer said... the fifth lady heard that there was a Jiangnan pastry seller outside, so she asked Qiaoer to buy it. She couldn't see the peddler wearing a bamboo hat. He looks...but Miss Wu...after tasting the pastry, she said it didn't taste good...to change it...Qiaoer went to change it, within two days...after changing it seven or eight times, Qiaoer became suspicious...he took the pastry for the last time yesterday afternoon When she came in...she secretly tasted one, wanting to see if it was really bad, but unexpectedly, she ate a note, which said...'At three o'clock, the carriage is ready in the right alley'."

Shui Linglong listened, her eyes almost burst into flames!Who else could put the note in the pastry, except for that useless and down-and-out scholar who only thinks how to trick Shui Lingqing all day long?

Ye Mao calmed down, and then said: "After Qiaoer went back, she had a showdown with Miss Fifth, and advised Miss Fifth not to do stupid things. Miss Fifth agreed at the time, but at night, she suddenly complained of a headache, and she had to let Qiaoer go Reported to Madam, Madam invited a doctor into the mansion. During the consultation, Fifth Miss said that she always had restless sleep and nightmares at night, so the doctor also prescribed tranquilizers in addition to wind-cold medicine. Today, before dawn, Fifth Miss called Qiaoer helped her change her clothes, saying that Missy should come back home, she needs to dress up. Qiaoer did not doubt him, so she put on a beautiful dress for Miss Fifth and combed her hair in a bright bun. The breakfast was rewarded to Qiaoer, and after eating, Qiaoer went back to her room to pack and change her clothes, and she was so sleepy after putting it away..."

Shui Lingqing didn't have so many complicated thoughts, it must be taught by Ah Jue!

She underestimated Ah Jue, as soon as she got married, he couldn't wait to approach Shui Lingqing and abduct Shui Lingqing!
This kind of scum, if she caught her, she would chop off his hand!
"Did Qiao'er say where they were going to flee to?" Shui Linglong suppressed her anger and asked in a cold voice.

Ye Mao said: "Qiao'er said it seems to be... going out of Dazhou in the direction of Yancheng."

If they leave Dazhou from the direction of Yancheng...they are actually going to South Vietnam!

Shui Linglong filled her chest with anger: "Go and tell Anping, let him find a way to contact the Shi Ziye, saying that they may have gone to South Vietnam." Although it may not be true, it is always safer to send a team to find them.

Now she only prays that along the way, Ah Jue and Shui Ling will be cleared of what should not have happened.

"no need."

Just as Ye Mao was about to go out, he heard Zhuge Yu's voice. Immediately afterwards, the curtain of broken jade beads was pulled open, and Zhuge Yu walked in. Behind him was Shui Lingqing, who was wearing a cloak and bowed her head silently.

Ye Mao hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Shui Linglong's eyes lit up when she saw Shui Lingqing, at least her life was safe, but soon her eyes became dark again: "Come here!"

Shui Lingqing was too frightened to move, and just hid behind Zhuge Yu's back.

Zhuge Yu spread his hands sideways, saying that he couldn't continue to cover for you, Shui Lingqing's scalp went numb, but he still didn't move.

Zhuge Yu went to Shui Linglong and sat down beside Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong poured him a glass of cold water, and he drank it in one gulp.

Shui Lingqing's head was lowered, her hands tightly gripped the skirt, wishing to rub a hole.

Shui Linglong glanced at her, and asked Zhuge Yu first: "Where is that bastard, Ah Jue? Did he kill him or sell him?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Lingqing broke out in cold sweat...

Zhuge Yu looked at Shui Lingqing, who was trembling, and said with a half-smile and an indistinguishable meaning: "Oh, you should first ask the ins and outs of this matter before deciding how to deal with that kid. Anyway, I'm going to arrest him."

Is there something else hidden about this matter?Shui Linglong's icy eyes turned to Shui Lingqing again: "Speak clearly to me! What's the matter with you and A Jue? If you don't tell me, I will send you back to the Minister's Mansion tonight, never I don't care about you!"

Shui Lingqing was so frightened that she faltered all over, and finished telling the story falteringly.

It turned out that it was indeed Ah Jue who first passed on the note to Shui Lingqing. The purpose was to ask Shui Lingqing how she was doing, and to express her lovesickness by the way. Unexpectedly, Shui Lingqing proposed to leave Shangshufu to go to a place where no one knew her. She said that her mother was dead, and her two older sisters were married, so no one cares about her. Sooner or later, she would be sold by her aunt in the Shangshu Mansion. Ah Jue persuaded her several times, and her opinion was very firm. Then Jue took her in the direction of Yancheng.
