first princess

Chapter 158 The Grandfather Arrives (5)
The old lady was even more wronged, and the tears fell more and more.Zhuge Xiaotian moved towards the end of the bed, put her leg on top of his own, and pressed it lightly with his inner strength, his tone was no longer as cold as before: "If you have the ability to make mistakes, but if you don't have the ability to accept punishment, you will That's all it takes!" The big palm moved down again to pinch her feet, and pressed a few acupuncture points with three points of strength, "During the time I was away, you guys are lazy and not exercising, right? During Kashgar celebration, how good are you guys? Not to mention two or three quarters of an hour, half an hour of horse gait is no problem! Tell me, my punishment is really heavy today?"

The old matriarch's stiff and sore legs seemed to have been infused with warmth, and the whole body was comfortable, but the old matriarch still said stubbornly: "You will be punished even if you are too old, people will lose face!"

"This way you will have a long memory!" Zhuge Xiaotian looked at her and lost a sentence.

The old matriarch gritted her teeth, showing an expression that the old matriarch is no stranger to: "Zhuge..."

Zhuge Xiaotian covered her mouth, coughed lightly, and blinked his eyelashes quickly: "Don't call me by my old name!"

The old matriarch was about to cry again, Zhuge Xiaotian spread his hands like a magic trick, a ruby ​​bead flower appeared in his palm, the old matriarch's eyes lit up: "For me?"

Seeing her face changing faster than turning the pages of a book, Zhuge Xiaotian showed his first smile of the night, so faint that you couldn't detect it unless you looked closely: "I'll put it on for you."

The old lady smiled shyly and sat up straight.Zhuge Xiaotian put the bead flower on her head, and the old matriarch happily asked, "Does it look good?"

"nice."

"But I have a lot of new wrinkles, I must be ugly." I want to cry again!

He took her hand that was not smooth and tender where age spots could be seen faintly, and looked carefully at her ruddy but deeply wrinkled face. Zhuge Xiaotian's eyes were smudged with the vicissitudes of time, but he was "surprised" and said: "Where is there?" Wrinkles? I can't see a single one!"

That's your old eyes!Hehe, I have always been so beautiful in your eyes as long as I am in a daze!The old lady was happy, but she still didn't give up: "My hair is all white, can I not be ugly?"

Zhuge Xiaotian touched her silver hair, and told a white lie: "It's as dark as the mud in the lotus pond, how can it look good? How do you say it? The silver hair is like snow, that is to say, the hair is white." , as beautiful as snowflakes!"

It turns out that this is what Yinsi Ruxue means!The old matriarch hugged Zhuge Xiaotian's arm and smiled contentedly.

At daybreak, Zhuge Yu and Qiao Hui finally finished washing the designated war horses respectively, and they smelled like they were fished out of a latrine.The old man's confidant Uncle Gao is watching beside him, no one is allowed to be lazy, no one is allowed to talk, no one is allowed to help anyone!
Zhuge Yu "greeted" the old devil a hundred and eight thousand times in his heart, didn't the old devil "retire in the world"?Why did he suddenly appear to intervene in the affairs of the palace?Today he almost didn't realize it, if he didn't touch Shui Linglong's acupuncture points, he would just go straight to the flower hall, based on his understanding of the old devil, even if Shui Linglong was pregnant, he would inevitably be punished, the old devil's thinking It cannot be measured by conventional standards at all!
Qiao Hui dared not speak out, she never knew that there was such a god-level figure in Zhuge's family, she didn't do anything, just stopped wherever she went, and there was an overwhelming momentum, which made her tremble , Not even daring to breathe hard.She is a lady from a famous family. Since she was a child, she was well-clothed and well-fed, surrounded by stars and stars. How has she ever done such dirty work?Besides, is it her fault for not seeing the old man?She has no idea!Glancing at Zhuge Yu who was handing over to Uncle Gao, a layer of envy welled up in his heart. It was Shui Linglong who was supposed to brush the horse here, but Zhuge Yu managed to carry it for her.Prince An...

After thinking about it, King An came up to meet him, and said anxiously, "Xiaohui, are you tired!"

Qiao Hui looked at his purple lips, her heart moved, and she took a step back: "Don't, I'm dirty!"

King An Jun stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat and stains on her cheeks, and apologized: "I'm sorry, today I did something bad with good intentions, and I didn't make a correct judgment in a hurry, and you suffered as a result. Don't blame grandpa, he is right and wrong, even my five-year-old brother was punished by him in Kashgar."

Qiao Hui's lost heart once again ignited a glimmer of hope, people are different, the king of the county treats her sincerely, why should she expect the king of the county to be on par with Zhuge Yu in everything?She smiled gratifiedly: "I understand."

Zhuge Yu went back to Mohe Courtyard, took a comfortable bath, the sky was turning white, he slid into the quilt and hugged Shui Linglong, who was still sleeping soundly even though he had untied his bed, relieved his pain of lovesickness, and arrived at the early court At Shi Chen, he rubbed his eyes, got up and left Mohe Courtyard.

Shui Linglong sleeps until she wakes up naturally.Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in, hung up the curtains with the tent structure, changed his laughing tone before, and said seriously: "Miss, starting from this afternoon, I will give the old lady and the old lady a morning and evening appointment."

Shui Linglong's dizzy head suddenly became more than half awake: "When did the old man come?"

Zhi Fan was slightly taken aback, as if she didn't understand why Shui Linglong asked such a question, didn't the Shizi explain it to the eldest lady before rushing out of the Mohe courtyard last night?Zhi Fan suppressed her astonishment, and said: "Miss, it was the old lady who blew the horn in the middle of the night last night!"

Not to mention the courtyard, everyone in the house heard it, but they didn't dare to act rashly without the master's order. Only after inquiring this morning did they find out that it was the old man who had entered the capital.Those who have never stayed in the Qing Mansion in Kashgar are not aware of the great achievements of the old man, nor his extraordinary taste and methods. Therefore, everyone expressed a high degree of puzzlement and... small dissatisfaction with the old man blowing the horn in the middle of the night !

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows in surprise: "I didn't hear that." Of course she didn't expect that Zhuge Yu would touch her sleeping point as soon as the horn blew.

Miss, you are a pig, you didn't wake up after being so noisy!Zhifan handed the apron to Shui Linglong, and said in amazement: "My son went to see the old man in the middle of the night, and he didn't come back until dawn!"

"Really?" Shui Linglong asked casually, took the bellyband and put it on, and quickly put on the coat, jacket and cotton jacket for her, the house was burned, but it was not as warm as spring after all, Shui Linglong packed it up Pushing the back of his head, he said, "It's probably been a long time, I have something to discuss."

This old lady of the Zhuge family had heard a little about her in her previous life. She was a real hardcore commander. Before she abdicated, she participated in more than a hundred wars. He lived in the capital, and the only time he entered the capital was to pick up Zhuge Liuyun's body.It was the butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth again, which shocked the old man out of the mountain.

Shui Linglong washed up, glanced at the empty table, and asked, "How about breakfast?"

Ye Mao brought in the breakfast, arranged the branches one by one, and Shui Linglong picked up the chopsticks and began to eat carefully.Zhi Fan pursed her lips and said, "This is your last breakfast in Mo He Yuan."

"Huh?" Shui Linglong blinked, "Could it be that I have to move out of Moheyuan tomorrow?"

Zhi Fan patted his head in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Look at my mouth, I didn't speak very clearly! It was Ping'er who passed on the message, and everyone will have dinner together in the future. Today is the old lady who tried her best." I tried my best to fight for the privilege of going to bed early for you. When the son of the prince and King An get up in the morning, everyone must get up in the morning. The original words of the old man are like this, "Men are busy outside, As a female family member, you should appreciate their hard work in a moderate amount'."

I finally understand how the macho chauvinism in Zhuge Yu's bones came about.After breakfast, Shui Linglong took out the fabric and planned to make a pillowcase embroidered with concentric knots for Guo Yan and the third princess. Although the third princess was a bit willful and savage, she was sincere to Guo Yan.Since the last farewell, I haven't seen him for many days, and I'm thinking hard.Moreover, he had to leave Beijing to transport relief supplies to Kashgar for celebration, why was he born again, and their mother and son still get together less and leave more?Not fun!

"Miss, the third princess is here!" Ye Mao's slightly surprised voice came from outside the door.

The visit of the three princesses this time was really unexpected, not only came in a strange way, but also had a strange attitude, not to mention those priceless gifts and natural treasures.

Shui Linglong ordered someone to serve warm green tea with honey and a cup of warm water, the warm water was her own.Just as Zhi Fan was about to hand the tea to Shui Linglong, the third princess held it in her hands with a smile on her face, and presented both hands to Shui Linglong with a very respectful attitude: "Hee hee, Linglong, you drink tea."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, and her probing gaze with a hint of a smile slowly fell on the third princess's charmingly smiling face. She really didn't understand why the aloof princess suddenly made a 180-degree change of attitude.

The third princess looked at Shui Linglong, and seemed to be a little... looking forward to it!Shui Linglong took a sip calmly, the three princesses just sat on the kang, between the two of them was still the small four-corner coffee table, on which there was a plate of almond cakes, a plate of plum cakes, a slice of fresh fruit and a bowl of crystal balls .The third princess graciously tied a small piece of grapefruit with a bamboo stick, brought it to Shui Linglong's lips, and said softly: "I heard that pregnant women like to eat sour."

Was the head of this savage princess caught by the door?I used to see her always sour and angry, but today she was fine, as if she was going to be lifted up to the sky!
Confused, Shui Linglong still ate the grapefruit which she didn't want to eat at all with dignity, and then something unexpected and reasonable happened, her stomach tumbling, she ran to the clean room and had severe morning sickness After a while, he even vomited out the food he swallowed in the morning.

The third princess stood up, and said awkwardly: "I... did I do something wrong?"

Shui Linglong sat down on the kang, smiled slightly: "I am sick, it will be the same when you are pregnant."

The third princess blushed when she heard the words: "I... Guo Yan and I have consummated the marriage!"

What is "You and Guo Yan have consummated the marriage", have you not consummated the marriage before?Shui Linglong blinked again. In this life, Guo Yan went on an expedition to Mobei, and the three princesses didn't hear any good news. Is it because they didn't consummate their marriage before?Shui Linglong is sensitive, suspicious, and intelligent. The abnormal attitude of the third princess quickly aroused her high vigilance. She served tea and fruit, and even talked to her about her intercourse with Guo Yan. Listen...how does it look like a daughter-in-law's attitude towards her mother-in-law? Could it be...Guo Yan has already told the third princess about their relationship?
Of course Guo Yan didn't tell, but he was so drunk that other people said a lot of things, which is called... the wine is not good!
The third princess chatted with Shui Linglong all over the world for a while, and the topic basically revolved around herself.Before leaving, the third princess asked for a copybook written by herself. When the third princess rolled out the rice paper and took a closer look, her breath stopped suddenly, and her smile was uglier than crying: "Good... good... what a special word!"

Not long after the three princesses left, an even more unexpected visitor came!Shui Lingxi spent a lot of effort today to persuade her mother-in-law to allow her to go out to congratulate Shui Linglong. For this, she paid a pair of valuable five-color gold-encrusted bracelets.In terms of dressing alone, Shui Lingxi is graceful and luxurious, but that face that is overwhelming is not as vibrant as it used to be, it is so beautiful that it is a bit empty, reminiscent of a lifeless and delicate porcelain doll, it is just a display!
When Shui Linglong looked at Shui Lingxi, Shui Lingxi also began to look at Shui Linglong.Shui Linglong's dress is very simple, but it's extravagant, especially the face that used to look a little ordinary now has a faint charm, like a fairy and a charm, fresh and enchanting, really...beautiful many!

"Big sister!" Shui Lingxi gave Shui Linglong a sisterly salute respectfully, "I heard that you are pregnant, so I'll come and see you, and send some clothes to my little nephew." A set of decent clothes was given to Shui Linglong.

Shui Linglong took the clothes and looked at them, said with a smile: "Second sister is interested, thank you." Then she asked her to sit down on the kang, and ordered Zhi Fan to serve tea.

Shui Lingxi glanced at every corner of the Nuan Pavilion with ambiguous eyes: "Elder sister, this Nuan Pavilion is well set up, not too big but elegant and unique, and it looks warm. You often play chess and chat with your brother-in-law here?"

Shui Linglong picked up a piece of plum cake, and said calmly, "Your brother-in-law doesn't come to Nuan Pavilion often."

"Then where is he going?" Shui Lingxi asked impatiently.

Shui Linglong frowned, and cast her probing eyes on her.

Shui Lingxi's eyelashes trembled, and she said with a normal expression: "I just care about you and brother-in-law. If the elder sister doesn't want to talk to me, just pretend I didn't say anything." After speaking, she peeled an orange and handed it to Shui Linglong, and the moment she lifted her wrist lightly , Shui Linglong noticed the bruises on her wrist at a glance, Shui Linglong held her hand, her hand shook, the orange fell to the ground, and a little juice came out: "Sister..."

Shui Linglong rolled up her sleeves, and saw that the skin that should have been white and tender was covered with large and small bruises and purple marks: "Who did it? You are the daughter of the majestic Shangshufu, who would dare to do this to you?"

Shui Lingxi's eyes turned red, and tears fell on the back of Shui Linglong's hand: "Don't ask, big sister!"

Shui Linglong let go of her hand, showing a thoughtful expression: "Although the relationship between you and my boudoir is not very harmonious, but after all, we are sisters with the same surname. It's your elder sister, whoever has the guts to look down on the Shangshufu doesn't think so much of the Wangfu?"

Shui Lingxi's crying gradually became louder. She covered her face, and tears flowed from her fingers: "I can't say... I will be beaten to death... So what if I have a backer? The married daughter No one is allowed to bully me when I go out of the water, is it that I am not allowed to get sick? If I die of illness, no one can say anything!"

Shui Linglong tentatively asked, "Your mother-in-law beat you?"

Shui Lingxi bit her lips and remained silent.Shui Linglong said again: "Shizi Xun?"

Shui Lingxi's body froze, as if she had been frightened, her crying stopped abruptly!

"It seems that I guessed it right." Shui Linglong put down the second piece of plum cake that was about to be taken into the mouth, looked at her with a complicated expression, and sighed slowly, "I knew it was so, why did I do it?"

Shui Lingxi took the hand that was covered with tears, and sadly met Shui Linglong's dignified gaze: "When I was kneeling in the Fushouyuan, my elder sister also told me this kind of thing. I also blamed my eldest sister for saying 'no more yesterday, but tomorrow'! Now that I have experienced so many things, I finally understand what my eldest sister said... But it was too late... No matter how regretful I am, I will wipe it away Don’t do one wrong thing after another! If my mother hadn’t snatched your jade pendant, eldest sister, you would be the princess who will do my part. Afterwards, a series of disputes, a series of mistakes, including my illness... maybe It won't happen! I won't marry into Pingnan Hou's mansion as a side concubine. With my appearance and status, I should be a first wife..."

After crying for a while, Shui Lingxi continued, "But the matter has come to this, what can I do? Last time the old lady had a stroke, I took the opportunity to go back to the mansion, and planned to ask my mother for a beautiful maid as a roommate. What the hell...I want to tell you what happened in the palace, but he appeared so timely, as if he had put eyes on me...Elder sister, you don't know...he really...knows too many strange things...too powerful...and Terrible..."

Shui Linglong asked suspiciously, "Why did he treat you like this?" From Shui Lingxi's words, it seemed that Xun Feng was not purely domestic violence, but sexual abuse. She had lived with Xun Feng for so long, and never once had this happened As for the situation, whether Xun Feng will be like this when he is with other concubines is still unknown.

"Sister, don't ask any more, it won't help. I've been spending half a day with you today. After I go back, I'm going to let him..." Shui Lingxi closed her tear-filled eyes!
Countless thoughts flashed through Shui Linglong's mind at an extremely fast speed, and finally, she held Shui Lingxi's hand: "Second Sister, do you want to leave Pingnanhou Mansion?"

Shui Lingxi was startled, but her eyes were clearly eager, expectant, and even extremely longing!

Shui Linglong's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Second sister, let's not talk about how you and I used to be, you hate me, and I don't like you, no one needs to deliberately cater to anyone. It's just that we have common interests right now. You leave Pingnanhou's mansion, and you help me lead Xun Feng's army!"
