first princess

Chapter 169 Kill two birds with one stone (2)
"Impossible!" Shui Lingxi almost denied Shui Linglong's guess without even thinking about it. What kind of joke are you kidding, can father put such a good thing as a treasure map in the warehouse casually?Taking a step back, even if it was put in the warehouse, a concubine like Shui Linglong shouldn't be lucky enough to get it!She is the fate of the imperial concubine, all good luck should come to her first, why is Shui Linglong?
Shui Linglong smiled faintly: "Did you forget that my mother is from Mobei?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across Shui Lingxi's beautiful eyes, followed by a burst of realization, that's right, Shui Linglong's mother is from Mobei, maybe she is the maid of some famous family who stole the treasure map for fear of being hunted down Only then did she escape to Dazhou and accidentally became her father's concubine.Yes, it must be so!

After Shui Lingxi finished her brain, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes immediately, a scumbag is a scumbag, it's absolutely amazing!Contempt is contempt, but eyes are a little bright: "Elder sister, have you had someone identify it?"

Shui Linglong said seriously: "I checked with Zhuge Yu, and he said it was a treasure map."

Shui Lingxi tightened the veil with her hand, and said sourly: "Since that's the case, why don't you return it to father quickly, so that father can go to Lord Long Live to claim credit? This painting belongs to father, isn't it?" She couldn't get it, No one wants to get it!As soon as she goes out later, she will report to her father!Shui Linglong must not let Shui Linglong take this credit all by herself!

Shui Linglong gave her an angry look: "Second sister, you are so stupid! Since this painting is in our hands, how can we return it to father? Have you forgotten who married you into Pingnanhou's mansion?"

It's father!Shui Lingxi's heart trembled weakly!
Shui Linglong said sternly: "If father got the treasure map, he would seek an official position, a future, and gold and silver, but he would never ask for a chance to let the second sister leave Pingnanhoufu! Innocent but guilty, the Zhuge family can't afford this kind of thing! As for whether to return it to your father, it depends on the second sister, you and I conspiring, as long as you open your mouth, I will pay it back, so what's the problem? ?”

Shui Lingxi lowered her eyes, Shui Linglong's analysis was correct, her father only had official position and future in his eyes, even her daughter from the first wife was also a stepping stone for his father to climb up.But...is it so easy for Xun Feng to leave?That man finally stopped abusing her, she should be content, right?

Shui Linglong understands Shui Lingxi's scruples, if Shui Lingxi was full of burnout and negativity when she came last time, this time it's like a spring breeze!Xun Feng had probably stopped abusing her, and she forgot about the pain after the scar healed.Shui Linglong drank some warm water, Dai Mei frowned, Zhi Fan understood, quickly turned around and took out the jar from the cabinet, scooped a spoonful of honey into the cup and stirred it well.Shui Linglong drank half a cup, then stroked her stomach and said leisurely: "Second sister, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the lion will doze off when it eats too much meat. If you don't take the opportunity to escape, wait for it to wake up and eat meat again At this time, you have no chance to escape!"

This is to tell Shui Lingxi that now that Xun Feng has suffered heavy injuries, she is not in the mood to torment her. Once Xun Feng recovers, her fate will not be the worst, but worse!

Shui Lingxi's heart pounded, and Shui Linglong's words hit the point of her heart.But, it's not that she doesn't want to leave Xun Feng, it's that she dare not...

Shui Linglong squinted her eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Well, I'll give you a trick for Second Sister. Whether you use it or not is your own business. Anyway, we will never owe each other!"

Shui Lingxi frowned, and looked at Shui Linglong.Shui Linglong drank the honey water in the cup, and smiled mysteriously: "Second sister only needs to present the treasure map to the queen, and ask the queen for a favor to reconcile with Xun Feng, and the queen will definitely agree!"

"This..." is indeed a good idea!The emperor wants to hide the treasure map, thinking about it like crazy, whoever can solve the urgent need of the emperor will be the hero of Jiangshan Sheji, they dedicate the map to the queen, it is tantamount to giving the credit to the queen, in return, solve a small matter What is a small marriage?Shui Lingxi's pupils moved, and said, "What if the queen asks me how this painting came about?"

"Actually, it was found in the warehouse at home."

"Ah? Then... wouldn't that tell the queen that our family has colluded with Mobei? Otherwise, how can we get Mobei's treasure map?"

It doesn't matter what the queen thinks, what matters is that the emperor knows the relationship between Nuo Min and Shui Hangge, so it is not surprising that the treasure map will appear in Shui Hangge's warehouse. Shui Hangge itself does not know that there is a treasure in Nuo Min's salute Figure, even if the emperor confronted him face to face, it would be fine.Shui Linglong smiled calmly and gracefully: "The clear is clear by itself. If my father knew it was a treasure map, why would he put it together with a bunch of inconspicuous antique calligraphy and paintings? My father also went to the desert with Long Live God North, maybe it's just a chance to get a pretty painting."

It's right to think about it, with my father's character of being so greedy for money and meritorious deeds, if he had a treasure map in his pocket, he would definitely dedicate it to the Long Live Lord to ask for credit.At this moment, Shui Lingxi seemed to really see the hope of getting rid of Xun Feng's clutches!But Shui Lingxi is not a fool, she absolutely dare not do risky things.Shui Lingxi looked at Shui Linglong, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Sister, why didn't you present the treasure map to the queen, and ask the queen to give your sister a favor? The queen must agree! Anyway, this picture is yours. If you want to offer something brought out from the warehouse, you should do it."

"Of course you can have grace, don't I want to give my sister a chance to curry favor with the queen?" Shui Linglong asked anxiously, with an earnest expression.

Shui Lingxi became more and more convinced that this painting was tricky, maybe it was a fake!Didn’t the prince of Mobei annoy the Lord Longevity by presenting fakes, and then Lord Longevity sent troops to attack the Thai royal family?snort!Want her to completely anger the queen?It's really heart-wrenching!Shui Lingxi smiled and said: "No need, sister, I'm not greedy, as long as I can get out of Pingnanhou's mansion, I don't want anything else!"

Seeing that Shui Linglong didn't respond, she sneered, "I did what I should do, but you want to shirk responsibility and not do what you should do? Or is this what you call honesty? The princess is nothing more than that!"

Shui Linglong covered her face, and yawned lazily: "Okay, the second sister doesn't want such a good opportunity, so I won't waste it, I will hand the queen a sign to see the fourth sister in the afternoon, and you will enter the palace with me tomorrow." !"

Shui Lingxi frowned suspiciously: "It's a deal!" Hmph, Shui Linglong, you'd better not play tricks, otherwise, I have a way to keep you from being fed up!
After Shui Lingxi left, Zhi Fan angrily stared at the direction she was going away, and Shui Linglong yawned again: "Don't stare! If you stare again, I'll have to wear the door panel."

Even though Zhi Fan felt angry, she couldn't help laughing. She didn't understand whether the treasure map was hidden or not, but she was very surprised that the eldest lady and the second lady cheated Xun Feng. The second lady is really extraordinary. Two!If something happened to Xun Feng, she would have to be a widow, and even the festival of leaving her name would be affected.

"Miss, Aunt Dong Jia has personally returned the gift." Ye Mao said at the door.

When Dong Jialin entered the house, each house gave her some congratulatory gifts, including the old lady, Leng Youru, and Zhenshi, and Shui Linglong also sent Ye Mao a pair of golden-headed noodles.

Shui Linglong said indifferently: "Take the things away, just say I'm resting."

"Yes!" Ye Mao stepped out of Mohe Courtyard according to his words, and conveyed Shui Linglong's meaning at the door, "The concubine is heavy, and she rested as soon as the concubine Shui left. I will take the things and wait for the concubine to wake up." The slave will tell her that the aunt is here."

Dong Jialin handed the pillowcase and quilt cover she made by herself to Ye Mao, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you very much." After saying that, she took Xing'er and turned to leave, but just as they turned into a small path beside them, they saw her from a distance. Xiu'er helped Qiao Hui into the Mohe Courtyard, yes, she did!

King An came down from court, went directly to the Bauhinia Courtyard to meet Dong Jialin, and bumped into Xing'er who had received dinner from the dining room.

"My maidservant pays respects to the county king!" Xing'er saluted with red eyes.

King An frowned: "Why are you crying?"

Xing'er lowered her head, and her voice was also low: "I dare not say it, I will annoy my aunt if I say so."

The word "Chuan" quickly formed between King An's eyebrows: "I won't tell your aunt that it was you who said it."

"Thank you, Prince!" Xing'er blessed Fu's body, choking with sobs, "Actually, it's nothing, just... the aunt personally returned the gift to the concubine, and the concubine took a rest for an excuse and did not let the concubine enter the house."

King An Jun smiled disapprovingly: "The body of a pregnant person is already heavy, and the concubine should really be asleep."

Xing'er cried: "But as soon as we left, Second Young Mistress entered the Mohe Courtyard..."

King An's brows, which had finally been stretched, frowned again. With one hand behind his back and the other in front of his abdomen, he strode into Dong Jialin's bedroom.

At this time, Dong Jialin was sitting on a crimson lacquered mahogany carved threaded chair by the window sill, embroidering a small landscape embroidery in her hand, planning to make a viewing inkstone screen and put it in the study of Prince An, when she suddenly heard With the sound of heavy footsteps, she hurriedly put down the embroidery, and bowed respectfully towards the door.

King An quickly helped her up, and asked with concern: "What are you doing?"

Dong Jialin pointed to the embroidery in the basket, and said softly: "I want to make an inkstone screen with green mountains and green waters for the king. If the king is tired when writing the notes, look up and look at it to relieve the discomfort of the eyes. I'm going to embroider a poem, the king of the county thinks it's better to say "the bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, between the vast sea of ​​clouds" or "the willows are green and the Qingjiang River is level, and the sound of singing on the Langjiang River" is better?"

Both talented and talented, it's a pity that she is an orphan, otherwise how could she commit herself to him as a concubine?A trace of pity rose from the bottom of Junwang An's heart, he held her soft and boneless hand and said, "I will try to spend as much time as possible with you, you don't have to deliberately move around for other people in the house, Xiaohui is pregnant, you can go there occasionally Okay, mother, you can listen to mother's arrangement."

Dong Jialin looked up at him, with a puzzled expression on her face, and said, "Jun Wang...why did you suddenly mention this?"

Prince An lovingly touched her thin face, and sighed: "I have wronged you, when you have our child, everyone will treat you the same as Xiaohui."

Dong Jialin was so ashamed that she blushed when she heard the words: "I only pass through the door when I am a concubine."

King An lowered his head and approached her ear, jokingly said, "Does it still hurt?"

"Huh?" Dong Jialin looked at him in astonishment, and after understanding the cunning in his eyes, she exclaimed "Yeah", turned around and dared not face him anymore.

King An hugged her from behind, his warm breath sprayed on her collar, "I'll come back at night."

"Don't!" Dong Jialin turned around, met his ambiguous eyes seriously, and said, "It was my blessing to get the prince Yulu last night. Tonight, please ask the prince to accompany the second young lady well. The second young lady has a hard pregnancy." Don't let the second young lady think that the county king has a concubine and has forgotten his wife."

King An affectionately shook her hand, turned and left the Bauhinia Courtyard.

Xing'er unscrewed the food box and came in, put the food in the food box on the table and asked: "Auntie, the county king wants to stay, why did you drive him away?"

"Didn't you understand the warning from the concubine Shizi? When I was living in the mansion, was there anyone in the Mohe courtyard that I couldn't enter? The concubine Shizi just took the opportunity to beat me to keep my duty!" Thinking of Shui Linglong Dong Jialin's heart shuddered at the method of testing the princess, "Besides, I'm a concubine, and the second young lady is a wife. I can't compete for what is on the surface. Why don't I keep a low profile, not only following her wishes but also It can make the county king think about me even more."

Xing'er didn't understand the last sentence, but understood the first one: "But Second Young Mistress looks very gentle, could she be such a jealous person?"

Dong Jialin sighed faintly, and an inexplicable darkness flashed in her eyes: "It's always right to be cautious when you know people and face but not heart."

In the afternoon, Shui Linglong sent someone to pass the sign to the queen, and the queen ordered that tomorrow, Shui Linglong and her two would enter the palace to visit the concubine Zhen.

In the morning of the next day, Shui Linglong reported to the old matriarch. The old matriarch looked at Shui Linglong's stomach and nodded, but still said a few words worriedly: "Although March to June is relatively safe, you don't have to worry about it." You really treat yourself like an ordinary person, you are not allowed to run and jump, you are not allowed to be mischievous, and you stay away from all hidden dangers, understand?"

Shui Linglong responded obediently.

As soon as Shui Linglong left here, Zhuge Liuyun and Leng Youru entered Tiananju together. When Leng Youru was sick, Mrs. Leng worried a lot. Now that Mrs. Leng stepped out of the Buddhist hall, they acted as Children have to go to see some.The old lady agreed very much, and ordered Ping'er to prepare some wild ginseng and bird's nest for Mrs. Leng.

When Shui Linglong left the mansion, Shui Lingxi's carriage was already waiting.Shui Linglong smiled: "Then I'll ride in my sister's carriage!"

Ye Mao and Shui Linglong got into Shui Lingxi's carriage together, followed by Zhi Fan and Anping in the palace's carriage.

Anping looked ahead and said with a smile: "I asked the elder son, and the elder son allowed me to marry a wife!"

Zhi Fan said: "What does it matter to me that the son allows you to marry a wife?"

Anping swallowed, and continued to speak boldly: "Zhi Fan, tell me...there are so many maids in the house, who is more suitable for me?"

Zhifan wasn't very interested, so he said casually, "How can I say that for sure? You can feel it yourself!"

In the carriage, Shui Linglong talked to Shui Lingxi about some precautions in the palace, such as which palace's empress is the most favored, and which palace's empress is the most irritable. Accidentally guessed the mine.

After hearing this, Shui Lingxi couldn't hide her mocking smile: "So, Shui Lingyue really fell out of favor?" She heard the servants of the Hou's mansion talking about the secrets of the palace, and she thought it was a rumor, and that's the end of it. How long has it been?two months?three months?He fell from heaven to hell!
At the gate of the palace, Zhang Gonggong called the two of them, and said with a thin voice, "Good luck for the concubine Shizi! Good luck for the water side concubine!"

Shui Linglong smiled gently and said, "Grandpa Zhang, please flatten your body. It's freezing cold. Please excuse me for waiting so long. I'm really sorry." After speaking, she handed Eunuch Zhang a blue-gray purse embroidered with osmanthus twigs.

Shui Lingxi also took out a red envelope from her wide sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Zhang: "Elder-in-law has worked hard."

Eunuch Zhang took it, held it with five fingers, and compared Shui Linglong with a sincere smile, and Shui Lingxi who inadvertently showed a perfunctory expression, contemptuously hooked the corners of his lips, turned to look at Shui Linglong, and said very modestly: "The imperial concubine is pregnant, but the servant has not yet congratulated the imperial concubine!"

Shui Linglong joked, "Congratulations, aren't you?"

Eunuch Zhang laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, yes! Congratulations!"

Shui Lingxi looked at the two of them talking to each other, but she couldn't get in her mouth at all, she sneered in her heart, a slut from a concubine is worthy of being in the company of a slave!

Suddenly, Shui Linglong covered her stomach, and said with a sneering smile: "Pregnant people always like to go to Gong's room, may I ask Eunuch Zhang to show me the way to the nearest Gong's room?"

Eunuch Zhang gave Shui Linglong a meaningful look, and said: "The Empress is practicing calligraphy with the Seventh Prince, and she can't spare time to socialize. After the concubine Shi Zi and Concubine Shui have visited the concubine Zhen, go thank the empress first!"

"It's so good." Shui Linglong felt relieved.

Eunuch Zhang turned his head slightly, and immediately a handsome young eunuch about 13 years old walked up with his body bowed: "Eunuch."

Eunuch Zhang was not angry but said in a dignified way: "You take the concubine Shui to the Millennium Palace first, and I will send the concubine to see the concubine Zhen after the concubine has gone to the toilet."

"Yes!" The little eunuch gave Shui Lingxi a slap, "Shui side concubine, please!"

Shui Lingxi doesn't suspect him, she is a little displeased that Shui Linglong went to the toilet and left her behind, and still went to the Millennium Palace with the little eunuch.

Probably because Shui Linglong walked fast, or Zhang Gonggong took her a shortcut, when Shui Lingxi arrived at the Millennium Palace, Shui Linglong also came from another direction.

Snapped!A crisp slap came from the small garden of the Millennium Palace, followed by a burst of cursing and shouting: "Huh! You dare to kick Empress Defei's pet, you are really impatient! Don't think that you are possessing me!" The title of a concubine really treats myself as a person! Count the days, how long has it been since the emperor visited you? Your body is almost moldy, isn’t it? You actually have the face to hang around! If I were you, just shut up The gate, so as not to be embarrassing outside!"
