first princess

Chapter 136 The Reunion (2)
In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang handed over the sign at the second entrance, and Shui Linglong took the pair of cards and went to the flower hall in the front yard to meet Uncle Zhang.Ms. Wang was quite alert. After hearing Shui Linglong's hint, she hid by the window outside the house and overheard the conversation between the old lady, Liu Lvniang and Liu Lu, and then quickly told Ms. Du, Ms. Du He also conveyed to Uncle Zhang and asked Uncle Zhang to bring the news into the palace.

Shui Linglong found out that Liu Lu had bitten Zhuge Liuyun last night, and then someone informed Shang Shufu, hoping that Liu Lu's old lady would give Liu Lu some advice.Therefore, Liu Lvniang asked Liu Lu to go back to Shangshu's mansion to "visit relatives".The reason why the old lady participated in this matter was probably because she wanted to reuse Liu Lu.

I wonder if Zhuge Liuyun sent someone to send that letter?
In addition, Shui Linglong suspected that Mrs. Zhen had played tricks on this matter. Mrs. Zhen first gave Liu Lu a valuable bracelet, and then asked Liu Lu to send her New Year pictures. Who can deny that Mrs. Zhen did not take the opportunity How about sending Liu Lu to Zhuge Liuyun?Liu Lu was her companion, and finally climbed into her father-in-law's bed, so it was inevitable that the princess would not think that it was all her idea!
Does Zhen's old witch feel that she is living too comfortably?

At nightfall, Liu Lu returned to Mohe Courtyard with a depressed expression.

Everyone has their own position. Shui Linglong thinks highly of Liu Lu, but it doesn't mean she will pave a bright future for Liu Lu like Hu Shui Lingqing did.There is a high hall on Liulu, and a younger brother on the bottom. As the eldest daughter of the family, she is destined to become a commodity in the eyes of ruthless parents. This is an inevitable tragedy in feudal society.Even Shui Linglong once fell into a similar predicament as Liu Lu, but she tried her best to break free from the cage.

Can Shui Linglong have the ability to prevent Zhuge Liuyun from taking Liu Lu away?Of course there is!

For example, tell Zhuge Yu, I can't bear Liu Lu!

But what are the consequences of doing so?

It was to force Zhuge Yu to disobey his father.

Are you saying she is selfish?Yes, she didn't want to get herself into trouble because of a maid, she had already offended the concubine, and she must not offend Zhuge Liuyun again.Her Guo Yan was currently enjoying the protection of Zhuge Liuyun, between her son and the servant girl, what should she choose?
Liu Lu served tea to Shui Linglong as usual, Shui Linglong took it, took a sip, and said softly: "Uncle Yu is here to tell you to go to the prince's courtyard."

Little by little, Liu Lu's tears blurred her vision: "Yes, the servant knows."

There was no such polite words as "Thank you for the cultivation of the eldest lady, the servants will keep it in my heart", and she didn't kneel down to beg Shui Linglong to save her from the fire, as if she was saying goodbye to a stranger quietly.The moment she walked out of the Shangshu Mansion, she realized how ridiculous the phrase "I would rather be a poor family wife than a high family concubine" was. Let alone being an aunt, she didn't even have the right to commit suicide!She is useless, knowing that her parents tried to sell her again and again, but she still can't just watch her mother kneel down to her and remain indifferent.

After Zhifan understood what happened, she realized that she had wrongly blamed Liu Lu. At the door, she stopped Liu Lu: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Liu Lu glanced at her faintly: "I'm always sorry afterwards, why didn't you leave yourself a way out beforehand? Your biggest shortcoming is to curry favor with those who are far away and hurt the closest people. I've had enough of you, Don't bother me in the future!"

Zhifan's heart skipped a beat, and tears fell down!

Liu Lu entered the main courtyard from the Mohe Courtyard, causing quite a storm in the palace. There were many opinions, both good and bad. Lost interest while talking.

The old lady was happy to see the success, thinking that it would be best if Liu Lu could give Zhuge Yu another younger brother!
Leng Youru recuperated behind closed doors and refused anyone's visits, which shows that she is very angry!

Zhen Shi was worried that Zhuge Yu's revenge would be aroused if her petty actions were discovered. After waiting for a few days and not seeing Zhuge Yu's action, she felt relieved. This matter should have been muddled through!

Zhuge Yu really didn't know the cause and effect, and Shui Linglong ordered Zhifan to keep her mouth shut about the matter of "Liu Lu tipping off to Mrs. Zhen, and Mrs. Zhen giving Liu Lu a precious bracelet". Therefore, Zhuge Yu, like the other masters, thought that Zhuge Liuyun saw Shang Liulu is just a coincidence.

In the Mohe courtyard, Shui Linglong packed the winter clothes, tunics, inner clothes, underwear, shoes, and scarves woven with rabbit fur for Guo Yan, and packed a lot of homemade sausages, bacon, dried fish and Some deer antler, cordyceps, ginseng... ready to be sent to the army.She has stayed in the military camp and knows that winter battles are the most difficult to fight. She often lays down in the snow for a whole day in order to ambush, and the food nutrition is not easy to keep up with. She often has a bowl of hot soup and three cold steamed buns for a meal. Meals are considered a solution.Guo Yan is a general, and the conditions may be better, but she is still worried.

Seeing Shui Linglong's busy figure, Zhi Fan couldn't help laughing: "I can't hold it! You're going to move the whole Mohe Court to the north!"

Shui Linglong looked at the seven or eight large boxes on the ground, and murmured: "It's true that it can't fit... Then hire an extra carriage! Hire more people! Forget it, it's more reliable to use darts! There are more in the east of the capital." The Haiping Escort has a good reputation, you should go there!"

The corner of Zhi Fan's mouth twitched, miss, Guo Yan is just your god-brother, the son has been in the south of the Yangtze River for more than a month, but you haven't even blinked an eye!
Aren't all mothers in the world like this, they can never have too much for their children, Shui Linglong pressed the box, and stuffed two hand warmers that Guo Yan didn't need at all.

In the end, she couldn't fit it anymore, so she asked someone to carry the box out, along with the annual gift to Shang Shufu.

Zhuge Yu went to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon and discussed some political matters with Yun Li. When he came back, he found Shui Linglong sitting in the main room waiting for him to eat. He cleaned his hands and sat down with Shui Linglong. The dinner in the small kitchen was very delicious. Rich: Stir-fried pork belly, Kung Pao chicken, secret red braised lamb, Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin, steamed sea bass, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, stewed small potatoes with pork ribs, ground three delicacies, stir-fried bean sprouts, and a bowl of lotus root pork knuckle soup Lily corn soup.Among them, the secret red braised mutton, ground three delicacies, and Hangjiao beef are made by Zhong's mother herself.

Shui Linglong was so greedy, she felt that Zhuge Xi had really done a great thing this time!

Zhuge Yu touched her head, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Eat!"

When Zhuge Yu held up the chopsticks, Shui Linglong also picked up the chopsticks.

Zhuge Yu ate a little fast, and before Shui Linglong finished eating half of his second bowl, he ran out of the second bowl, but he still used some simple dishes, and waited until Shui Linglong finished eating before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

This night, Zhuge Yu didn't read the scriptures, but pulled Shui Linglong to sit down on the imperial concubine's couch.

Shui Linglong blinked and looked at him in surprise: "What's the matter?"

"Well, I checked some news and wanted to tell you." Zhuge nodded, looking at her dotingly, without the evilness of being alone, Shui Linglong was not used to the serious look.Shui Linglong touched the white skirt, smiled slightly, "What news?"

Zhuge Yu took her small hand that seemed to be in nowhere, kissed her, and said: "Third sister and Governor Jiang are leaving at the end of the month, and they are expected to arrive in the capital next month. Governor Jiang is sympathetic to Sanmei's return to Beijing. It’s the capital. He has a house in the west of the city, not far from the palace by a short cut, so you have to take Fifth Sister to play with Third Sister when you have time.”

Play?Always treat her like a child.

Shui Linglong used the other hand to brush her hair from her temples back, and sighed, "Fifth sister celebrates Chinese New Year... I guess I have to go back to the Shangshu Mansion." It makes no sense for the little girl who has not left the cabinet to stay at her brother-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year.

"Kaichun will pick it up again." Zhuge Yu hugged her on his lap, and the warm breath enveloped her all of a sudden, Shui Linglong lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Zhuge Yu came to tease her mind, put his forehead against hers, and said with a half-smile: "Why are you thanking Fa? Orally?"

Her forehead was cold, but his was warm, and her soft body was leaning against his strong and warm chest, like leaning against an unshakable mountain. She was always as strong as her, and she couldn't help being in a trance for a moment... wanting to let go of everything Be alert and rely on him wholeheartedly.But soon, she broke free again from the abyss of obsession. The betrayal in her previous life was still vivid in her memory. She really didn't dare to ask for love or afford it.

"Dazed again!" Zhuge Yu bit her lip punitively, Shui Linglong was in pain, but she didn't stare at him, but bit back directly!

Zhuge Yu laughed foolishly, letting her white teeth bite on his lips wantonly, it was not without pain, this girl tried hard, but it was rare for her to take the initiative once.

Shui Linglong bit her teeth, the tip of her tongue touched his, a current flashed quietly in her mind, like a breeze wrinkled the mirror lake, causing shallow ripples, her body froze and did not move.

Zhuge Yu kept his lips close to hers, and said with a wry smile: "Look at how promising you are!" Then, he clasped her head, took her to kiss her deeply, until the man in his arms was panting, and leaned against his shoulder powerlessly, He just gave up.

Shui Linglong pursed her red and swollen lips, she hadn't completely lost her mind, and knew to get down to business: "What do you want to tell me?"

"Before I tell you, answer me first, what are your feelings for Guo Yan?" If there is any trace of love between men and women, he will rush to Mobei and kill Guo Yan without hesitation!
Shui Linglong pressed her heart, her eyes were clear, and she didn't dodge: "Dear ones, just like Fifth Sister, there are some things I... I can't explain to you, but Guo Yan is really a very important relative to me. That's all." I really can't say that she was reborn...

Zhuge Yu looked at her for a moment, and after a while, he patted her on the shoulder, suppressed the complex look in his eyes, and said, "Look, I scared you! Am I such a narrow-minded person?"

Shui Linglong wanted to slap him!
What Zhuge Yu wanted to talk about was not Guo Yan, he hugged his wife's slender waist tightly, and said: "Last time Xiao Anzi told you that your mother is a young lady of the Siqin family, and her name is Siqin Tana, who is also his ten-year-old daughter." The aunt who was lost many years ago, right?"

Shui Linglong's quiet eyes narrowed slightly: "He told me so, is there a problem?"

Zhuge Yu pressed his chin against her temples, and said seriously: "I have carefully checked the history of the Siqin family, and there is some discrepancy with what he said. The Siqin family did have brothers and sisters Siqin China and Siqinova, who died 11 years ago. Scattered at the border of Dazhou, according to their ages, Chi Naa is Xiao Anzi, Nova is Huayi, these are all true! The only doubt is that Miss Tana did not get separated from them 11 years ago, Tana was born not long ago and died."

"So, my mother is not Tana!" Shui Linglong opened her eyes wide.

Zhuge Yu took a deep breath, as if afraid that she would not be able to withstand the impact of the facts, he gently stroked her back: "Linglong, are you sure that "Avalokitesvara Buddha Lotus" is your mother's property?"

Shui Linglong pondered for a moment, straightened up from his arms, and looked at him firmly: "I'm sure, although I have never seen "Avalokitesvara Buddha Lotus", those locked boxes belong to my mother. Checked many times."

Zhuge Yu held up her fair little face distressedly, and chose a lighter tone: ""Avalokitesvara Buddha Lotus" is a property of the Mobei royal family. The first emperor of Mobei passed it to the eldest princess Nuo Min. Nuo Min has a younger sister , is the one who entered the palace as the daughter of the prefect of Jizhou to accompany... Concubine De!"

A thunderstorm sounded in Shui Linglong's mind. She had guessed the identity of her mother countless times. Even if Xiao Anzi hugged her and called her "cousin", she didn't stop guessing. Maybe it was some powerful lady, or someone The daughter of a wealthy businessman, but she never expected that her mother...is a member of the Dong family who was slaughtered by Guo Yan! !

Zhuge Yu held her tightly in his arms, kissed her brows and eyes softly, felt her slender eyelashes trembling irregularly, he sighed slowly: "The matter of Guo Yan slaughtering the Dong clan seems like another There is something hidden, give me time, and I will find out, eh? Don’t tell your father about your life for now, wait until I find out the details of Dong’s extermination.”

He knew about the fact that she gave her the treasure map to save Guo Yan, and his father asked her about her life experience, but he cleverly avoided it.Before ascertaining what his father had in mind for Concubine De and Mobei, he felt it necessary to conceal her background.

Shui Linglong's mind was buzzing, if her mother was Nuo Min, then the concubine De, who was also the princess of the Dong family...wasn't her...aunt? !

Chengde Palace.

Concubine De held the hand of the Eleventh Prince and taught him how to practice calligraphy. The Eleventh Prince was already three years old, and he could speak more clearly. His facial features were very similar to Concubine De's, but his face and small hands were exactly like the emperor.

The eleventh prince raised his white and tender face and asked in a daze, "Mother, concubine, is your writing good?"

Concubine De touched her son's little head, and smiled softly: "It's beautiful! Concubine Mu's eleven is very good, she can write such beautiful characters at such a young age!"

The Eleventh Prince didn't seem to believe it, put down the brush, held up Concubine De's sad face with his chubby little hands, and asked softly, "Then why is the concubine mother still not happy? What are you doing?" , Mother Concubine will be happy?"

Concubine De almost cried: "Concubine Mother is not unhappy, Concubine Mother is... yes... misses your father a little bit."

The Eleventh Prince seemed to have an epiphany. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised a smile: "I know, I will try my best to recite the book. Next time the emperor checks my homework, I will be good at every single word." , and then beg Father and Emperor to come and see Mother Concubine!"

Concubine De didn't know how to explain it to her son, so she had no choice but to make a mistake and said, "Uh...well, you...you are right to study hard."

At this time, Xiao Dezi entered the room with a good body, and Concubine De called her mother to take the eleventh prince to bed.

The Eleventh Prince knelt down to concubine De, and then went back to the room with the nanny, but as soon as he entered the room, the Eleventh Prince did not go to bed immediately, but forced himself to take out the homework taught by the master and review it again, the master said , as long as he is familiar with it, but he wants to memorize it fluently, he wants to be a very good, very good son, so that the father and the emperor will come to see the mother and the concubine.

"How?" The kind smile on Concubine De's face gradually froze at the corner of her lips.

Xiao Anzi frowned and sighed: "It's the seventh sneak attack, and it still can't get close to Guo Yan's body!"

Concubine De's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief, "How could this happen? Our people have all undergone rigorous training! What we are best at is assassination, why can't even Guo Yan get close?"

Xiao Anzi's pupils moved left and right, and his expression became more solemn: "There is a group of people secretly protecting Guo Yan, and our people can't break through their defense. They seem to be very familiar with our moves and routines, and they can snuff out our actions every time. In the budding state, the strangest thing is that they don't kill us, otherwise, with their ability, our people may... have been annihilated long ago!"

Concubine De sat on the wicker chair, pressed her forehead and said thoughtfully, "We are not allowed to kill Guo Yan, but we are not allowed to kill our people? How strange!"

Xiao Anzi straightened up, looked at Concubine De who was deep in thought, and expressed his inner guess: "With all due respect, there is no one else who knows our secret guards well except the prince!"

Concubine De raised her head, her eyes flashed with deep surprise and sadness: "He...why...did he do that?"

Xiao Anzi said based on the information he had inquired, combined with subjective guesses: "On the day of Shui Linglong's and Zhuge Yu's wedding, Guo Yan went to the Shangshu Mansion in person and worshiped Shui Hangge as his godfather. After that, Guo Yan frequently went to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion , and even helped Shui Linglong deal with Xun Shizi, that is to say, Shui Linglong and Guo Yan...are the same breed!"

Concubine De suddenly stood up and shouted: "Impossible! Guo Yan is Shui Linglong's enemy! Guo Yan killed her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, nephew...so many relatives..."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Anzi's eyes: "In front of interests, what are those so-called blood feuds? Guo Yan is beating the Tai clan to death this time. Who can guarantee that Guo Yan didn't know Shui Linglong's identity?" , Want to help her restore the country? Including the prince, maybe he has the same thoughts! Because of how much blessing Nuomin gave you, he will only give more to Nuomin's daughter! So now, Guo Yan, Shui Linglong, and the prince, The three of them have been closely united! In the future, the development of the Mobei royal family will never be related to you, empress!"

Concubine De's figure flickered, and she fell down on the wicker chair...

In the study room of the main courtyard, Zhuge Liuyun carefully looked at the "Avalokitesvara Buddha Lotus" presented to him by Shui Linglong. He asked a special person to appraise it, and it was indeed true!
