first princess

Chapter 12
Shui Linglong's eyes widened: "Aunt Lan, it's true that I gave you this bracelet, but it was given to me by my fourth sister in the first place. I thought it was fashionable, so I reluctantly gave it up and gave it to my father, who won my father's favor." Damn you, I didn't do anything! How can I be so stupid? Isn't it obvious to smear my face by doing something on the things I gave you? Besides, you and I have no conflict of interest, so what did I do to you? "

Shui Hangge's brows slightly relaxed, Linglong really had no reason to frame Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan is in a fit of anger, why not?She retorted: "You said that this bracelet was given by the Fourth Miss. The maidservant has a close relationship with Aunt Zhou, and treats the Fourth Miss as her own. Can the Fourth Miss harm the maid? No, Fourth Miss didn't know that you would put Who is the bracelet for? You! You want to harm me, then put the blame on Miss Fourth, and provoke my relationship with Miss Fourth, don’t you?"

Later, she was so angry that she even changed her name.

It's so sleepy, I'm here to give you a pillow!Shui Lingyue was happy in her heart, but she was very aggrieved on her face: "Father, mother, that bracelet wasn't mine in the first place! It was given to me by the second sister last time, and asked me to give it to the eldest sister!"

What?From Shui Lingxi?This time, even Shui Linglong was a little surprised.But besides the accident, there is also some joy, the suffering master has suddenly changed from Shui Lingyue to Shui Lingxi, this influence has risen to a higher level!
Shui Hangge frowned again. If Linglong harmed Aunt Lan, he would not believe it, but if her ultimate goal was Lingxi, he felt that it was possible. After all, Lingxi robbed her prince The position of concubine.

Shui Lingxi didn't pay much attention to them with the mentality of having nothing to do with herself, and now she looked at them seriously after being told by Shui Lingyue, her face immediately darkened: "Elder sister, what do you mean? "

Shui Linglong smiled lightly: "The matter hasn't come to a final conclusion yet, Second Sister, don't be impatient."

Qin Fangyi, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't sit still. She always turned a blind eye to the struggle between the concubine's daughters. She was not afraid that they would fight, but she was afraid that they would not fight. Even if Shui Linglong really did it, she actually didn't intend to After all, Shui Linglong is her cash cow, she doesn't need to embarrass Shui Linglong for an aunt, but now that Shui Lingxi is involved, she has to abandon Shui Linglong.

Shui Lingyue had calculated Qin Fangyi's mentality of protecting the calf, so she took the risk and set up the next game. The original plan was for Shui Linglong to accuse her, because the effect of thieves yelling to catch thieves is the best. big picture.

Shui Linglong, oh Shui Linglong, just wait to be kicked out of the house, let me marry Zhuge Yu for you!

Qin Fangyi said heartbrokenly: "Master, this is really wronging Lingxi! Don't you know what kind of temperament Lingxi is? She is reluctant to trample an ant to death on weekdays, so how could she frame her aunt on the bracelet? ? If this matter gets out, what will His Highness the Crown Prince think of Lingxi? What will others think of Shangshufu?"

Shui Hangge asked Xiang Shui Linglong in a deep voice: "Did you do it? Be strict when resisting, and be lenient when confessing."

Shui Linglong said neither humble nor overbearing: "Linglong didn't do it, so where does the confession come from!"

"You..." That stubborn look stung Shui Hangge's eyes. She was clearly Dong Jiaxue's biological child, but she didn't inherit Dong Jiaxue's gentleness. No wonder he couldn't like her!
Shui Hangge is very popular in the officialdom, but Qin Fangyi is not as good at family matters. Qin Fangyi told the servants: "Mother Zhao, send someone to search Lingxiangyuan to see if there are any clues left behind. .”

"Yes!" Mother Zhao withdrew.

Shui Linglong suggested aloud: "This morning, Madam invited Dr. Yang for a consultation. I should finish reading it now. Why don't you invite Dr. Yang over?"

Shui Hangge nodded, and Guanshi Liu ran towards the Fushouyuan with wind on his feet.

The winter wind was extremely cold, blowing in through the crack of the door, making everyone's hands and feet cold.

Aunt Lan knelt down until her back was sore, she looked at Shui Hangge tearfully, and Shui Hangge couldn't bear it: "Aunt Fu Lan is sitting down."

Qin Fangyi shook her plain hand, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Mother Tian stood up first, then helped Aunt Lan to get up, and sat down on Shui Lingqing's lower seat.

Shui Lingqing is timid and dare not speak.Even if she wanted to speak, Shui Lingyu would not let her speak.Last time, because of an unintentional accusation made by their sister, they were made jealous by Shui Lingyue. Now Shui Lingyu is 120 careful, for fear that her sister will get into trouble again.They are the most humble masters in the mansion, unlike the big sister who is all-round and exquisite, who not only pleases the grandmother, but also wins the praise of the world.Even if it is to betroth a not too bad family in the future, they can only be careful every step of the way.

Maybe, she can give her a formula for rouge, Shui Lingyu thought so.

Two quarters of an hour later, Mother Zhao came back: "Madam, I didn't find anything."

Shui Lingyue was startled, how could it be possible?

At this time, Guanshi Liu led Dr. Yang in. Dr. Yang had treated the Shang Shufu for 20 years. He was always fair and had a good reputation. Generally, no one would question his words.He covered his hands with a handkerchief, took the bracelet, examined it carefully, and frowned: "It is indeed poisonous."

Shui Linglong looked at Doctor Yang: "Excuse me, Doctor Yang, what kind of poison is it?"

Doctor Yang replied, "It's the juice of evergreen."

As soon as these words came out, both Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingxi changed color!

Dieffenbachia is not a species of Dazhou. It comes from the West. It has a beautiful appearance and a unique smell. It likes a warm environment and is not easy to feed. Therefore, it can only be found in the small greenhouses of Fushouyuan and Changlexuan.

Shui Lingyue was completely frightened into a fool, she was obviously a poisonous insect, how did she turn into evergreen?

Shui Linglong blessed Fushen, pretending to be puzzled, and said: "I heard that there are several Dieffenbachia plants in the old lady's yard. I have always been curious to see them, but the old lady is afraid that I will be childish and can't help but touch them, so I never I was allowed to enter the conservatory, and the other sisters have never been to Fushouyuan recently, and of course they can’t get evergreen, I really don’t know how the thing on this bracelet came from?”

Deliberately not mentioning Qin Fangyi's greenhouse!But the more you don't mention it, the more others will think about it.

Qin Fangyi's conservatory has always been taken care of by trusted servants, only she and Lingxi can come in and out freely, Pian Shui Lingyue relies on being the daughter of a noble concubine, and takes advantage of it from time to time, as long as she doesn't do too much, she can bear it. Tolerance is also up to her.But look, what did she do?
Qin Fangyi said sternly: "If Linglong didn't give it to Aunt Lan, but wore it herself, she would be the one who had an accident today! Then, how can we explain to the Zhenbei Palace?"

Shui Linglong exclaimed: "I didn't, I was wronged, mother!"

Qin Fangyi said with a cold face: "Hmph! You can tell if Linglong has been to the old lady's conservatory. Why should she lie? And no one has entered my conservatory except you, me and Lingxi. Am I slandering my precious daughter? Or Lingxi slandering herself?"

Shui Linglong sighed slowly: "Lingyue, last time it was the second sister, this time it was me, will it be the third sister and the fifth sister next time? Do you want to make yourself the only daughter in the house before you give up?" ?”

The only daughter?Qin Fangyi's heart was pounding, and she suddenly remembered that when she came back from the temple, the third girl had a stomachache and almost killed her...

"You... do you want to be a princess?"

Shui Lingyue plopped to her knees on the ground: "Ah—Mother! I don't have one!"

How dare she covet the position of Crown Princess?She just wants to be the concubine of the world!
Shui Linglong looked at her provocatively, her eyes met each other, a thought flashed in Shui Lingyue's mind, she looked at Shui Linglong fiercely: "It's you! You framed me! You planted me, you How cruel! Shui Linglong, you must die!"

"Shut up!" Shui Hangge thundered furiously, "I think you are crazy, and you can say such immoral words! Don't stay in this mansion, so as not to cause chaos! Liu Chang ! Send me this little bastard to Zhuangzi!"

"Master! Aunt Zhou, please see me!"

...

Shui Lingyue survived in the end, and was not kicked out of the Shangshu Mansion, but was imprisoned in the most secluded Buddhist hall in Beiyuan. This was because of Aunt Zhou's pregnancy.

As soon as the news of her pregnancy came out, Aunt Zhou's situation began to become extremely difficult. Even after the death of the third young master, she could still vividly remember the death of the third young master. It was even more difficult to have a child under Qin Fangyi's nose.She originally thought that she could hide it for a day, and when the month was old, she would directly report to the master to go back to her natal family to visit her relatives, and then she would come back when she was about to give birth, and if she was a son after giving birth, she would immediately send it to the old lady's yard.But now that something like this happened to Shui Lingyue, how could she go back to her mother's house with peace of mind?

Thinking of what the eldest lady did to Shui Lingyue today, she actually gritted her teeth.She even suspected that the purpose of the eldest lady's retaliation against the fourth lady was to force her to expose the news of her pregnancy, and to become a thorn in the eyes of the eldest lady. , everything is just a coincidence.

Shui Lingyue returned to Lingxiang Courtyard. In the firewood room, Mama Du was tightly tied up and a rag was stuffed in her mouth. The moment the door was opened and the light came in, Mama Du rushed as if she had seen a savior. Passed over: "Mm...Mm..."

Ye Mao and Zhi Fan held her up and prevented her from colliding with Shui Linglong.Shui Linglong had already ordered Zhi Fan to keep an eye on Mama Du's movements, so she was able to catch Mama Du when she was hiding the poison.

Shui Linglong is backed by the light, and her face is hidden in the dark, making her quiet and deep eyes emit a shrewd and sharp fierce light like a leopard. The sun shines around her, and outlines a circle of soft curves. There was a kind of incomprehensible weirdness.

"Fourth sister was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall. She is the master, so she can live, but you are the slave, and the only way to die."

Mother Du was so frightened that she kowtowed desperately.Ye Mao took the cloth from her mouth, and she begged tremblingly: "Miss, this servant promises that I will never do anything wrong to you again. It was the fourth lady who said that she had become a concubine and let this servant be her personal mother." In the palace, this servant agreed to her in a moment of greed, and this servant really dare not do it again!"

Shui Linglong looked at her coldly: "For me, it doesn't matter whether I kill you or not, but for you, you only have one chance to survive!"

...

After ordering Ah Ru and Ah Chun to take care of Mama Du, Shui Linglong took Ye Mao and Zhi Fan back to her bedroom.

At lunch time, Aunt Zhou's maid Ginkgo brought a box of high-quality balm as an apology.

Shui Linglong didn't even raise her eyelids: "Send it back."

Zhi Fan is a little puzzled, isn't the purpose of the eldest lady to force Aunt Zhou to surrender, so that she can unite with Aunt Zhou to bring down the eldest lady?She was sure that she was right about Missy, but why did Missy reject Aunt Zhou?

At this time, Ye Mao opened the curtain and came in: "Miss, Miss San sent someone to deliver a formula for rouge."

Shui Linglong's eyelids suddenly lifted up, and she smiled after thinking about it for a moment: "Take it, and give her back a piece of light green Shu brocade satin and a piece of dark blue moiré satin."

The light green is for Shui Lingyu, and the dark blue is for Aunt Feng. Without Aunt Feng, she would not be able to get the evergreens in Qin Fangyi's conservatory. But she and Aunt Feng should not cooperate too much. If there is more Aunt Feng It's dangerous.

After lunch, Shui Linglong changed into a light yellow double-breasted short jacket, a white floor-length skirt, a single snail bun on her hair, and fixed it with a white jade hairpin, and left the house.After waiting at the gate of the mansion for a while, the old lady came slowly with the support of Wang Mama and Fei Cui, and Shui Linglong saluted respectfully: "Grandmother."

The old lady looked at her clothes and hair bun, and showed a look of approval. She didn't wear heavy makeup or ostentatious clothes, and the materials might not be high-quality, but she wore them with a fresh and elegant air. This is the real lady of the big family: "You Mother taught you well."

The old lady said "mother", not the name or "aunt".

Shui Linglong was slightly happy in her heart, but her face did not show the slightest arrogance: "Thank you for your compliment, grandma, my mother's spirit in heaven must be very pleased."

After getting in the car, the old lady patiently explained many palace rules to her. She was a queen in her previous life, so she knew as much about the palace as the old lady, but the old lady was willing to tell her, so she listened attentively.

"...Anyway, you can just follow me. You can do what I do. You don't have to be nervous after entering the Guanju Palace. The Empress Yufei is very kind, and you are so smart. The empress will definitely like you very much."

intelligent?Shui Linglong blinked, and a trace of confusion ran from the corner of her eyes.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the witty little eunuch came forward to give Qian'er a slap, and said with a smile: "Slave Xiaode, please greet the old lady! Please greet the eldest lady! Old lady, your complexion looks much better than last year, This servant knows that you have great blessings, and you will live a long life! Look, God has even sent a granddaughter who is as beautiful as flowers and jade to fall in love with you, and you will enjoy a lot of blessings in the future!"

The old lady was delighted by what she said, she scolded him, but she also gave him a piece of silver: "You're getting smarter and smarter, you poor talker."

Xiao Dezi bowed deeply: "Thank you, Madam, for the reward!"

Xiao Dezi looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was very handsome, especially in a very good spirit. It is humane to see a slave guessing the master's situation, and Concubine Yu must be doing well in the palace.

Once again stepping into this place where her life's happiness was buried, the blood in Shui Linglong's bones boiled rapidly with anger and sorrow. On the same road and the same weather, Xun Feng's oath seemed to be still ringing in his ears. He led her Hands, step by step towards the Golden Palace, complete the enthronement ceremony, and their wedding, which was several years late.After the ceremony, he held her hand and said, "Linglong, I've been here for decades, and it's only at this moment that I truly feel that I belong here."

At that time, she thought that he was so happy because he was happy with her husband and wife, but now thinking about it, he feels that he has become an emperor.

It's all over, she won't marry him again, and she won't lose a pair of children again.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the north.

"Your Highness Seventh! I beg you, please come down quickly! It's too dangerous!"

"It's not dangerous, it's very close, and I'll be able to touch that fruit right away. Don't disturb me, just stay aside!" As he spoke, the Seventh Prince stood on tiptoe and continued to stretch out his hands towards the hanging branches on the lake. .

Shui Linglong followed the prestige, but it was the Seventh Prince, whose face was like a crown jade, eyes like stars, and as beautiful as a ceramic doll, standing by the Taiye Pool and going to pick a fruit hanging on a branch. The court lady who is as timid as a mouse has no one else.Shui Linglong asked herself that her conscience had not been exhausted to the point where she would not save a child, she greeted the old lady, walked quickly to his side, and forcibly carried him a foot away.

After landing, the Seventh Prince glared at her viciously, and found that she looked strange, and her dress did not look like a court lady, "Which palace are you the new concubine? How dare you be rude to my highness! Be careful that my highness will punish you!"

Why is this bad temper the same as Zhuge Yu?Shui Linglong patted his head, and he leaned back to avoid it, blushing and said: "A man's head, a woman's waist, you can only look at it but not fish it, haven't you heard of it?"

Oh, my dear highness, you have just turned nine years old.

Shui Linglong laughed out loud, and took a while to return to the topic: "Your Highness, are you going to pick the fruit there?"

"So what?"

"Your Highness, you can't pick it with your height and the length of your arms."

"Nonsense! My Highness thinks it's quite close! Why can't I pick it? My Highness will show you!"

Shui Linglong stopped him: "Your Highness, before you pick the fruit, help me solve a problem first, okay? I heard that you are the smartest among all the princes."

Children can't stand boasting, the Seventh Prince smiled proudly: "Of course I'm smart, what's the question, let me hear it?"

"A couple has two children, and one of them is a son. How likely is it that the other is also a son?"

"Of course it's half of it!" The Seventh Prince blurted out, such a simple question to test him?

"Are you sure?" Shui Linglong asked again with a smile.

The Seventh Prince was dissatisfied with Shui Linglong's questioning of his attitude, and angrily shouted: "You're talking about possibility, so it's half!"

Shui Linglong smiled slightly, and drew a table on the dirt with a branch.
-
first child, second child

One: son, daughter

Two: son, son

Three: Daughter, Son
