first princess

Chapter 184 The Joy of Dragon and Phoenix (1)
When Shui Linglong led Zhi Fan to the gate of the yard, she saw a little boy covered in mud, even his face was scolded by the gatekeeper. She seemed afraid that the mother-in-law would beat him, but Shui Linglong noticed that apart from timidity in his big eyes, there was also a hint of... hostility that didn't belong to this age group!It seems... so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

Shui Linglong took the initiative to ignore the mud on his face, and carefully observed his facial features, her eyes almost didn't fall off!This, this, this... is completely a shrunken version of Zhuge Yu!Shui Linglong finally understood where the sense of familiarity came from. The first time she saw Zhuge Yu in the temple, his steel-blue eyes like a baby's were also flickering with such hostility.

The wind in June was extremely hot and humid, but Shui Linglong's fine hair stood on end one by one!How come... there is a child who looks so similar to Zhuge Yu?Zhifan's throat slid a bit: "Miss, is this servant right? Really...really exactly the same as Shizi Ye! Is he... Is he the illegitimate son of Shi Ziye?"

Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched, and a wave of jealousy slowly spread in her heart. Although the betrayal in her previous life did not cause her to be defeated, her confidence in men was indeed greatly reduced. Looking at the condensed version of Zhuge Yu not far away, she said that she It is impossible not to think in the wrong direction at all.Perhaps, Zhuge Yu didn't do it on purpose, just like Yao Cheng, he didn't notice the clue at all...

Shui Linglong wanted to go up to wipe the mud off his face and look at it again, but she touched her stomach and stood where she was, showing a gentle smile: "What's your name?"

The child still responded to everything around him with a timid look. When he heard Shui Linglong's question, he quickly glanced at Shui Linglong, curled his lips, and looked away again.

Zhi Fan whispered: "Miss, does he think you are fat?"

Shui Linglong gritted her teeth with a smile and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." Zhi Fan shrank her neck resentfully, and Shui Linglong ordered: "Bring the sweet-scented osmanthus candy and ingot cakes, as well as lychees, longan and grapes. "

The timidity and hostility in the child's eyes faded in an instant, replaced by a pure greed, a desire for good things, and he put his dirty fingers in his mouth.

Shui Linglong frowned, as if covering her nose with a rag, it was uncomfortable!Little persimmon, if your brother is this virtuous, I don't have much hope for you...

Zhifan quickly brought out a multi-grid enamel pinch flower box, which contained colorful candies and fragrant fruits. Zhifan walked towards him, and he didn't like this child in his heart, was it too dirty?No wonder the gatekeeper is about to drive away!Approaching the child, Zhi Fan smelled the aroma of saponins on his body, looked a little dazed, bent down and handed the fruit plate in front of him, smiling and said: "It's delicious, try it."

The child pulled out the finger in his mouth, stretched out his hand timidly, and took an osmanthus candy, but he didn't put it in his mouth immediately, but gave it to Zhifan: "You eat first." The voice is deep, like the tone of an adult.

Zhi Fan was slightly taken aback, this... Zhi Fan looked back at Shui Linglong, Shui Linglong nodded at her, she took the child's drool-stained candy, peeled off the wrapping paper and ate it into her mouth.While Zhifan was chewing, the child swallowed his saliva, which showed that he had endured a lot of hard work, but he never made any further moves until Zhifan finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus candy, then he suddenly grabbed the fruit plate in his hand, and then walked away run!

"Hey - you - you..." Zhi Fan jumped up angrily, and almost cursed out the word "bastard", "Miss, what should I do?"

Shui Linglong Youruo Mingyuan's eyes flashed a gleam of indecipherable meaning, she lightly pulled the corner of her lips, and said, "It's just a box of food!"

Zhi Fan is not as calm as Shui Linglong, she feels that she has been fooled by a [-]-year-old child, and she has been fooled thoroughly, it is really hard to calm down!After taking several deep breaths, I managed to hold back the anger in my heart: "Miss, do you want your slaves to chase after you?"

Shui Linglong turned around, as if casually said: "No need." This child appeared out of nowhere, although dirty, but well dressed, presumably the status is not low, it should have a great relationship with the Qingyayuan.

Zhuge Yu, you'd better pray that it's not your mistress and son, otherwise, I'll "eunuch" you!
It was too hot, and the old matriarch ordered Ping'er to pass on the message that instead of braving the heat to go to Tian'anju for dinner, it would be settled in Mohe Courtyard.

Mother Zhong made a cold salad with three silks, a plate of fried meat with fungus, a plate of braised crucian carp, a bowl of preserved eggs mixed with tofu, a plate of baby vegetables in soup, and of course, pork knuckle soup with papaya.Maybe Zhong's mother's food was too nourishing, she was only less than eight months pregnant, and a small amount of milk had overflowed, making her whole body smell of milk, Zhuge Yu's unscrupulous pervert, hum!Or maybe he sucked it out!

"Oh, don't eat it! Look at your stomach! How can you eat any more?" Just when Shui Linglong was about to serve a third bowl of rice, Mother Zhong showed her objection.

Shui Linglong smacked her mouth, still wanting to eat... bowed her head, making a gesture of grievance.

Mama Zhong rolled her eyeballs, and said in a loud voice, "Zhi Fan, take off the smock on the bronze mirror."

Shui Linglong put down her chopsticks: "Don't eat!"

After eating, she took a walk to digest food. When sleepiness struck, Shui Linglong took a nap, and was kicked awake by the little persimmon without accident.Zhi Fan rubbed his tired eyes that were slightly blurred: "Miss, you are awake, Uncle Yu has been waiting outside for a long time."

Shui Linglong sat up straight holding Zhi Fan's hand, and said with a stunned expression: "How long has Uncle Yu been waiting? Why didn't you call me?"

Zhi Fan served Shui Linglong and changed into a plain red bellyband and a lake blue wide-waisted long skirt, covered with silk and gold threads and a butterfly wearing a flowered transparent gauze, and then pulled up Shui Linglong's blue silk high, and wrapped it with a phoenix tail. Dian Cuichai fixed: "After waiting for half an hour, the slave said that you were taking a nap, please leave a message and return first, or not. The slave will go to the main courtyard to inform him later, but he insists on waiting. Moved the stool and took the umbrella at the door."

Shui Linglong drank a cup of room-temperature golden bird's nest and red date tea, got up and went out to meet Uncle Yu.Uncle Yu stood at the entrance without any shade or eaves to block the sun, his face was flushed from the sun, and his clothes were wet with sweat. When he saw Shui Linglong going out, Uncle Yu cupped his hands and said, "Concubine Shizi!"

Shui Linglong had a panoramic view of Uncle Yu and the situation around Uncle Yu, and asked kindly, "Is there something important that Uncle Yu is waiting for me here?"

The sweat from the forehead dripped into the eyes, it was salty and stinging, but Uncle Yu didn't raise his hand to wipe it off, he just replied respectfully: "If you want to return to Shizi Concubine, my lord, please come to the Qingya Courtyard when you feel comfortable." Let’s go.” Didn’t say why!
Shui Linglong glanced at Boundless Xia Se, and said after a while: "Then let's do it now."

Yu Bo blesses his body and takes Shui Linglong to Qingya Courtyard.It is said that touching the scene creates love, as soon as she stepped into the Qingya Courtyard, Shui Linglong couldn't help but think of the time when the accident happened in the palace, and the days when Zhuge Xi and her survived hand in hand.The roses in the front yard are blooming beautifully, and the breeze blows, and the fragrance is compelling; the koi in the pond are swimming happily, there are still eight, no more, no less; and the stone table under the crabapple tree is gone. Zhuge Xi's flirting figure... Shui Linglong's eyes wet slightly, and she misses the two of them.

"Concubine Shi Zi, be careful of the steps." Bo Yu glanced at Shui Linglong, who was a little lost in thought, and reminded him in a low voice.

Shui Linglong regained consciousness, lifted her skirt, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Yu."

Uncle Yu turned his eyes and caught a glimpse of the emerald bracelet on Shui Linglonghao's wrist, the expression on his face froze slightly, his lowered eyes concealed his unknown surprise.

"Brother Hao, come here, I have chestnut cake here, which is much more delicious than sweet-scented osmanthus candy!"

"Hmm—" the child said in a negative nasal voice.

"Why don't you have Yuan Bao Cake, look! It's golden yellow! Call me, I'll give you all..."

As soon as Shui Linglong walked to the door, she heard Zhuge Liuyun's very happy voice. It was almost a year since she married into the palace, it was the first time that she could hear the meaning of doting from Zhuge Liuyun's tone, Shui Linglong's pupils moved Don't worry, is it really Zhuge Yu's illegitimate son?
Zhi Fan was also very surprised, and after a few seconds of stunned, she leaned closer to Shui Linglong and whispered in Shui Linglong's ear: "Miss, is the kid inside the one we saw this morning? He, he, he can't be the prince. illegitimate child?"

Yep, another level up!Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, her younger brother was more acceptable to her than her son, so she didn't know if it was true.

Uncle Yu cleared his throat and reported: "My lord, the concubine is here!"

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly: "Come in." With a serious tone, he once again resumed his high-ranking princely posture.

Zhi Fan and Bo Yu stayed at the door, Shui Linglong pushed the door open and entered, and saw an extremely warm picture of a family of three by the bed: the woman was sitting with her back against the head of the bed, with a thin quilt covering her waist; the child was kneeling inside her, Holding the fruit plate snatched from Zhi Fan in the morning, the snacks inside have been changed; Zhuge Liuyun sat leaning on the side of the bed, facing the woman, staring at the woman and the child beside her with eyes full of smiles...

Zhuge Liuyun pointed to the carved hexagonal tree about three feet away from the bed, and said cheerfully, "Come and see your mother!"

It was like a shocking thunderbolt exploding in her mind, and like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, Shui Linglong froze in place for a moment, mother, the only one who can be called "mother" is Zhuge Yu's biological mother. The biological mother, Nuo Min, is dead, and the other party... Shui Linglong raised her head, and looked at the woman. She was used to seeing the stunning beauty of Leng Youru, no matter how beautiful a person is, she loses three points of her color. This woman is about the same age as Leng Youru, The appearance is also outstanding, but it does not belong to the type that is stunning at a glance. The melon-seeded face is fair and clean, the double eyelids are large but somewhat dull, the bridge of the nose is high, the red lips are small, and there is a slight upward curve even when not smiling... From Leng Youru's aloofness and coldness, the woman is much more friendly and elegant.

But Shui Linglong didn't calm down the turmoil in her heart because of her kindness and elegance. Didn't she abandon her husband and son back then?Why did you go back to the palace again?And how did Zhuge Liuyun, one of the objects she abandoned, forgive her?Shui Linglong couldn't suppress her mind full of questions.

The woman smiled slightly at Shui Linglong, her pale face reflected the light outside the window, and she imagined a kind of maternal softness out of thin air: "Linglong."

Shui Linglong suppressed the surprise on her face, and said politely: "Mother." It really looks like Zhuge Yu!that kid...

The woman smiled in satisfaction, patted the child's head, and said softly, "Brother Hao, I've seen you soon."

Jin Jin, the nickname of my aunt.Shui Linglong was surprised again, so to speak, he is neither Zhuge Yu's illegitimate son nor the prince's illegitimate son, but the child of Zhuge Yu's sister!No wonder he looks so much like Zhuge Yu.But, where are Brother Hao's parents?
Brother Hao has changed into clean clothes and washed his face, he looks like a beautiful porcelain doll, really cute, he glanced at Shui Linglong, lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and didn't shout!

The woman couldn't help being embarrassed, and looked at Shui Linglong with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Hao admits his birth." Something clearly flashed in his eyes!
Zhuge Liuyun seemed unintentional and said: "Yes, I teased him all night and most of the day, but he didn't call me grandpa."

Shui Linglong said politely: "No problem, just get familiar with it slowly."

Then Shui Linglong found out that neither the woman nor Zhuge Liuyun had mentioned the unfamiliar fruit plate, and the child came back with an object that did not belong to him out of thin air. I don't know if they had already reprimanded Brother Hao after asking the source, or they didn't ask at all. For some reason, but still let him go.Seeing that the woman has a good appearance and bearing, Brother Hao seems to be a bit out of place, and I don't know... why.

Zhuge Liuyun cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi are not the children of the princess, but Shangguan Qian is the biological mother of Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi. They have been separated for many years for some reason, but starting today, everyone will be together Living under the same roof, you and Xiao Yu must be filial to your mother."

Shui Linglong sat down on the twig, she didn't show any abnormality, she just said calmly and obediently: "Yes."

Zhuge Liuyun glanced at Shui Linglong, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Brother Hao, as if he wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say anything in the end, he just sighed: "Other things... I'll talk to you later!"

Shui Linglong withdrew her gaze from brother Hao's face: "Okay." She tried hard to recall whether Zhuge Yu's biological mother had come back in her previous life, but unfortunately she had no memory at all. If a sedan chair like yesterday was carried into the mansion, she and Xun Feng might not be alert.

Shangguan looked at Zhuge Liuyun, Zhuge Liuyun gave her a reassuring look, Shangguan seemed to be encouraged, and stretched out his hand to Shui Linglong: "My child, come here and let me see!"

Shui Linglong walked to the bed according to her words, Shangguan moved inwards, let Shui Linglong sit next to her, she took Shui Linglong's hand, the bracelet on Shui Linglong's wrist dropped to the back of her hand, her eyes The light trembled, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Xiao Yu... actually gave it to you..."

Shui Linglong blinked, not quite understanding Shangguan's gaffe.

Shangguan touched his pale face, and said softly: "This is the wedding gift your father gave me. Before leaving, I gave it to Xiao Yu and told him to give it to the woman who can spend the rest of my life together. It seems , my little Yu has really grown up! Thank you...thank you for taking such good care of Xiaoyu! I've heard it all...after getting married, Xiaoyu has a very good life every day..."

In the quiet courtyard, Leng Youru is standing in front of the desk and writing vigorously, and the wild grass is flying from the tip of the pen to the rice paper, which seems to be her mood at this time!

Cen'er stood aside and did not dare to speak, but she glanced at the hourglass on the wall and felt that she had to speak: "Princess, take a break, you have been practicing for three hours! From noon to night, you have not stopped However, this is not the way to torture yourself, even if you torture yourself, who would feel bad about it?"

Leng Youru ignored Cen'er, but increased the force of her pen, as if she wanted to vent all her life's anger.

Cen'er couldn't see it anymore, and took a step forward to snatch Leng Youru's pen: "Princess! Isn't she just a woman? You are not comfortable, so why make things difficult for yourself? You should make things difficult for her! Why should your suffering go to your stomach?" Li Yan? She can tell the prince about her suffering? Isn’t it because I knew the prince a few years earlier than you? Isn’t it because you are more capable of pretending to be crazy than you? Your appearance, bearing, and family background, which one does not leave her behind? You What we have to do now is not to sulking in the house, but to rush into Qingyayuan and take the prince back! More than ten years ago, her son took your son's life! Now, she is here to rob you for the rest of your life ! Why is she taking all the good things in the world? You cheer up!"

Leng Youru's body swayed, and she slumped on the chair weakly. She pressed her forehead, and her chest began to heave violently, like a continuous sea wave, surging!Suddenly, she threw the pen into the trash can, got up and went to the clean room!
In order for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along more harmoniously, Zhuge Liuyun got up and went back to the main courtyard.Shangguan family offered to visit Mohe Courtyard, and Shui Linglong could not object. After entering the master bedroom, Shangguan family and Shui Linglong talked a lot, but did not mention Brother Hao's parents, nor did they talk about the reason for leaving that year. It is an interesting story of Zhuge Yu's childhood: "...he was very clingy when he was a child, he followed me everywhere, Xiaoxi often laughed at him as a little tail...he talked early, and he could talk eloquently when he was two years old, like A little sparrow, chattering non-stop...he is timid, and when his father scolded him, he was too scared to speak for days..."

But dear mother-in-law, now Zhuge Yu no longer likes to communicate with others, never clings to anyone, and is not afraid of anything...

While talking, Shangguan looked at the door from time to time, but she didn't forget to rub Shui Linglong's chubby little hands. In fact, she had been rubbing them for a long time: "...I'll rub it for you again... Oh, it's so swollen, Is it unbearable?"

Shui Linglong shook her head against her will: "It's okay."

At sunset, Zhuge Yu opened the curtain and entered the room with a smile on his face: "Linglong! How do you feel today..." The voice stopped abruptly when he saw the people in the room clearly. room!
