first princess

Chapter 227
Zhuge Yu bit the bullet and sat in the room until Wen Yuan left, his face was almost black as coal!Shui Linglong gave him a sideways glance, telling you to hide it from me, I'll disgust you!Shout out to you!

Wen Yuan went back to Xianglan Courtyard with a smile. At the door, she met Shangguan Hong unexpectedly: "Hi, Aunt Tang, you haven't rested so late! Are you waiting for Uncle Tang? Uncle Tang...going to meet the prince and Is the princess already?" Biting the word "concubine" hard!
Shangguan Hong suppressed her anger, straightened her sleeves calmly, and said, "I didn't wait for anyone, I just went out for a walk to digest food after eating too much, and I happened to meet you, niece. Where did you come back from? Happy?"

Wen Yuan showed a smug look: "Cousin invited me to have dinner, and I naturally came from the wisteria courtyard."

Seeing her proud appearance, Shangguan Hong believed in her heart, then frowned and went to the Wisteria Courtyard.

After Zhuge Yu finished washing, he went to the study room. During this time, he kept looking for Shangguanqian, wearing red clothes and bamboo hats, which are the characteristics of Shangguanqian. He suddenly recalled that before he sent troops to attack Hu country, he had felt two warm Looking back, he did see a piece of red clothes when he turned his head. At that time, he didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was an ordinary admirer, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was very likely that it was Shangguan Qian.She was paying attention to him secretly, why didn't she come out to recognize him?

As soon as he left, Shangguanhong stepped into the inner courtyard on the back. Shui Linglong was studying the dictionary left by the old man. As soon as Shangguanhong saw Shui Linglong, he took her hand and said straight to the point: "My child! What do you think? Taking the initiative to get so close to Wen Yuan? Are you not afraid that Xiao Yu will annoy you? Xiao Yu only has you in his heart, but you forced Wen Yuan to him, you... oh!" As he spoke, his eyes fixed on Shui Linglong without blinking, As if to see a flower in her face!

Shui Linglong showed a bitter smile: "Second aunt, let me tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. I don't like Wen Yuan, and I don't want to associate with her, but since I am married to Zhuge Yu, I am the daughter-in-law of Zhuge's family. So, I There are also times when I can't help myself. But I have a measure and know what I'm doing, so don't worry about me, Second Aunt."

Shangguanhong carefully chewed the meaning of Shui Linglong's words, glanced at the dictionary in Shui Linglong's hand casually, she took a closer look, and found that it was Kashiqing's words!Her almond eyes widened in shock: "Linglong, why are you learning Kashiqing's writing?"

Shui Linglong replied truthfully: "The old master gave it to me before he left, and told me to study hard."

Shangguanhong took a deep look at the dictionary, and shook his head sadly: "Oh! Time is not forgiving, you have grown up one by one, your wings have hardened, and you have your own ideas. We, the elders, are old and stubborn in your eyes. Some words I said are too straightforward, if you can't accept it, don't take it to your heart, but we just get along with each other these days."

Shui Linglong opened her eyes wide: "Second Aunt... and Second Uncle are leaving the capital? Are Second Uncle's matters settled?"

"Your second uncle's side is almost there. The handover with the court went smoothly, and the matter with your father... Although I didn't ask about it, it should be a good talk because he looks happy."

Second uncle and father have something to talk about?Shui Linglong blinked suspiciously!
"Brother, think again!" In the study of the main courtyard, Zhuge Liuyun and Liufeng discussed the matter for an hour, when Zhuge Liuyun announced his decision, Liufeng was not happy, and only then did he have that persuasion.

Zhuge Liuyun patted him on the shoulder, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "Don't think about it, you should rest early, Kashgar should not be empty nest for too long, you can start your journey in a few days."

"But big brother..." Liu Yun looked at him with complex expressions, with joy, sorrow, resentment, and reluctance...

Zhuge Liuyun smiled: "Let's brothers don't see each other like this, everything is going well in Kashgar!"

Liufeng bowed his hands and bowed, quite excited: "I know big brother, I will tell Hong'er to clean up later, and spend two days to buy some gifts to bring back to Kashgar."

"You and your younger siblings don't need to worry about the gift, Linglong will take care of it. This child has no choice in what to do." Zhuge Liuyun was in high spirits at the mention of Linglong.Liufeng noticed the change in the eldest brother, and couldn't help but admire, "Big brother is so lucky, married a virtuous and beautiful wife, and has a filial and intelligent daughter-in-law."

Unconcealable joy flowed in Zhuge Liuyun's dark eyes.Liufeng said again: "My sister-in-law is pregnant. If my elder brother is not busy with official duties, I would like to spend more time with my sister-in-law. Back then, my sister-in-law was celebrating in Kashgar... I suffered too much grievance." Kashgar did not accept marriages from the court at all. In her eyes, Leng Youru is the third party who destroys the heaven-sent marriage. Someone will throw eggs at Leng Youru when she goes out. Not only that, but some courageous servants deceive others and cheat Leng Youru's customization. Money can't buy good things to eat, cold steamed buns are given out in cold weather, rice mixed with search vegetables is given away in hot weather... Pian Leng Youru never complains, those people will get worse, if the maid beside the old lady finds them Sprinkling worms on Leng Youru's clothes, Leng Youru may have to live in dire straits all the time.But these things, the eldest brother did not know the details. At that time, the eldest brother's heart was devoted to Shangguanqian and the development of the nation. He felt nothing but humiliation and indignation when a chess piece was sent by the court to check and balance him.

"I will make it up to your sister-in-law." Zhuge Liuyun nodded, and when Liufeng left, he strode to Qingyou Courtyard.

At dawn, Leng Youru finished washing and came to the main room to have dinner with brother Hao. Shui Linglong made a list according to her pregnancy recipes and handed it to the dining room of the public office. Leng Youru watched every day Customization, without saying anything, take everything as ordered.

Brother Hao's mood was obviously not right, he ate his noodles sullenly, and didn't look at her directly.Leng Youru put a piece of vegetables into Brother Hao's bowl, and asked softly, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Brother Hao didn't answer, so he huh huh finished the noodles in the bowl, got up and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, saluted, and said, "I'm going to school!" Coldly, no, angrily!

The Defu family hurriedly followed, Cen'er looked at Brother Hao's stiff back, and asked in confusion: "Princess, what's wrong with Cousin? Who messed with him?"

Leng Youru picked up the crystal cup filled with milk, her light white fingertips were like jade, and her eyes were like glass: "I don't know, he doesn't eat much, later you give him a small steamed bun for him to eat when he rests, the Fourth Young Master's Don't forget the portion, too."

Cen'er respectfully replied: "Yes." Clearing the dishes, she suddenly smiled narrowly, "Is the lord still coming tonight?"

Leng Youru's long eyelashes trembled: "I don't know."

In the Xianglan courtyard, Shangguan Hong waited on Liu Feng to change his shirt, and asked while buttoning up, "Would you like to stay a little longer?"

Liufeng said in a calm tone: "No, if I hadn't had an important matter to discuss with my eldest brother this time, I wouldn't have entered Beijing on the pretext of sending taxes. You know, there are many things in the clan."

"I'm running out of time. I have to buy some things. There are so many relatives and friends waiting for gifts."

"You don't need to worry about the gift, Linglong will take care of it."

Shangguan Hong fastened the buttons for him, then knelt down and wiped off the dust that fell on his shoe surface at some point: "How did you discuss with Big Brother?"

Liufeng said "hmm": "The discussion is over!"

After Liu Feng turned up, Shangguan Hong sat alone in the room where the sun was hidden, silent for a long time.It wasn't until Xuyang came back from school that she finally had a look on her face.

"Mom!" Xu Yang smiled and threw himself into her arms.

Shangguan Hong touched his wet head and said with a smile, "So much sweat!"

Xu Yang said: "I played ball with Brother Hao for a while! He is not as good as me! I am so good, I won't keep him in the first place!"

"If you lose, you can be called a piece of armor." Alas!Forget it, it is estimated that the one who loses without leaving a piece is his own son.Shangguan Hong wiped his son's sweaty face with a handkerchief, and thoughtfully said: "We are going back to Kashgar soon, you wash up, and we will say goodbye to the princess, thank her for her hospitality these days, by the way , you can play with Brother Hao again."

Xu Yang grinned from ear to ear: "Okay! I'm going to change clothes now!" After walking a few steps, Shangguan Hong stopped him again, "Oh, and, don't forget to call you later Aunt Wen Yuan!"

In Mohe Courtyard, Shui Linglong is drawing up a list of gifts for Erfang, buying all the specialties of the capital, and forgetting some for Kashgar celebrations. In addition, a few sets of educational toys will be given away.But Shui Linglong felt dissatisfied even after going back and forth. After thinking about it carefully, she spread out the white paper, took out a charcoal pencil and began to draw carefully.

When it was time for dinner, Zhi Fan walked in slowly, looked at Shui Linglong and said, "Miss, Second Madam took Miss Biao and Fourth Young Master to Qingyou Courtyard to thank Wangfei."

"So fast?" Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, raised the corners of her lips with a half-smile, "Then let's go too!"

In the quiet courtyard, Leng Youru sat on the main seat, Shangguan Hong and Wen Yuan sat on both sides, Brother Hao and Xu Yang sat on the carpet and built blocks, Xu Yang had a great time and soon built a building block. The Great Wall; Brother Hao looked listless, the building blocks in front of him were in disarray, and he couldn't make a project after working hard for a long time.

Shangguan Hong said kindly: "I'm bothering the princess, I specially prepared some tea leaves, it's no respect." Zhuang's mother very cooperatively presented two boxes of tea leaves.

Leng Youru held the corner of her lips, her expression was indifferent, neither happy nor repulsive: "Thank you, brother and sister."

Can pregnant women drink tea?Wen Yuan looked at Shangguan Hong coldly, but there was an almost innocent smile on her face: "I won't give anything away, anyway, I'll be back soon!"

A stern look flashed across Shangguan Hong's eyes, but he said softly, "That's kind, my aunt wishes you happiness!"

Wen Yuan smiled and said, "With my aunt's blessing, my cousin and I will be very happy!"

Leng Youru frowned imperceptibly, two psychopaths!Shangguanhong didn't seem to feel Leng Youru's disgust, and only smiled and looked at the exquisite and gorgeous furnishings in the room - the gilt-filled corrugated landscape screen, the Tangli wood carved chair, the bronze incense burner with silver silk bamboo joints, and an assortment of treasures. Grid jade... Finally, Shangguan Hong's gaze was fixed on the white jade Guanyin in the center of Duobaoge: "Wangfei, this baby is really good, Wangfei is pregnant as soon as she comes."

Leng Youru's eyes moved slightly, and she said casually: "Well, it's indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that Kashiqing doesn't believe in Buddhism, otherwise I can give one to my siblings, or I can't give it to my siblings if they want it."

Shangguan Hong sneered in her heart, if she brought a statue of Guanyin back to Kashgar, she would be soaked in a pig cage by the clansmen the next day, Leng Youru clearly made her miserable!Putting down her displeasure, Shangguan Hong said with a leisurely manner, but with a hint of a noble smile: "The concubine should keep such a precious thing for her own use. I have not been sterilized, and it's not like I can't have children."

Leng Youru's complexion changed slightly!Wen Yuan's complexion also changed: "Aunt Tang is right, she hastened to give birth to a few more while she is young, so that in the future, she will go to the battlefield together and have a better chance of winning credit, hehehehe..."

The melodious laughter like a silver bell is like the voice of an innocent child, clean and crisp.Suddenly, Shangguan Hong's face turned green immediately!The third young master and An Junwang charged into battle at the same time, and An Junwang shined brilliantly, and the third young master became an out-and-out foil...

As soon as Shui Linglong entered the door, she heard Wen Yuan's smirk, and she felt goose bumps all over her body again. After a while, she walked into the room with a gentle smile on her face: "Concubine mother, second aunt, cousin."

The two elders nodded slightly, and Wen Yuan stood up and saluted her politely. At the same time, Brother Hao and Xu Yang stood up and saluted Shui Linglong respectively.Shui Linglong took out the peanut candy she prepared early in the morning and handed it to the two of them.The two took it and sat back on the carpet to continue playing.

Leng Youru greeted Shui Linglong to sit down at Wen Yuan's seat, and Cen'er offered a cup of honey scented tea and a plate of mouth-watering grapes.Shui Linglong loved lychees last year, grapes this year, and maybe longan next year, anyway, her taste is uncertain, unlike Leng Youru who has been eating red dates and longan for more than ten years.Shui Linglong looked at Leng Youru: "How's my concubine's appetite recently? Are you getting sick?"

Leng Youru's eyes widened slightly softly: "I have a good appetite, and I'm not sick yet."

Shui Linglong smiled: "Then I don't worry, in terms of meals, will my concubine be uncomfortable?" Brother Hao still ate according to the recipe set by Leng Youru, but she changed Leng Youru's food. Upside down.

"No, everything is fine."

Shui Linglong smiled, and then said warmly to Shangguan Hong: "I just made half of the gift list, and I will buy it later when I finish the list. Is there anything special that Second Aunt and Cousin need to bring? You can use it yourself or give it to others. Tell me, and I will order it to be prepared."

Shangguan Hong smiled and said, "Oh, the rouge and gouache in the capital are very good, you can prepare some for me, and I'll take it back and give it as a handkerchief."

Shui Linglong answered in one gulp: "Okay, I see." She looked at Wen Yuan again, "Where's my cousin?"

Wen Yuan smiled sweetly: "I don't worry about my sister-in-law doing things, and my cousin will take care of it."

Everyone chatted on and on for a while, until Shangguan Hong pressed his head and said that he was a bit sleepy because he didn't rest last night, then everyone got up to say goodbye to Leng Youru.Xu Yang reluctantly put down the toy, and walked out the door together with Shangguan Hong, followed by Shui Linglong and Wen Yuan.After walking a few steps, Wen Yuan suddenly jumped wildly and screamed: "Ah—spider—ah—help! There are spiders—ah—spiders—" The whole family knew, What she feared most in her life was snakes and spiders.

Shui Linglong looked in the direction Wen Yuan was staring at. At the same moment, Shangguan Hong turned around and stretched out his arms to help Wen Yuan: "Wen Yuan, what's wrong with you? Calm down! There are no spiders here, do you see?" wrong?"

"Oh—don't come here! Don't come here! The spider is on your foot! It's jumped on it! It's jumped on it! Ah—go away! Go away! Get the spider off!"

Wen Yuan was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, and her arms danced wildly. Shangguan Hong tried to hold her arm, but she shook it hard!Shangguanqian let out a low cry of "ah", and she backed up several steps, bumping into Duobaoge behind her!There were only "bang", "bang", "bang"... a few loud noises, the jade wares on Duobaoge fell to the ground and were smashed into pieces, including Baiyu Sending a Child Guanyin, the scene... was instantly quiet …

With a wave of her palm, Cen'er swept the spider on Shangguanhong's shoe out of the door.Shangguan Hong rubbed his sore arm, and looked at the mess everywhere: "I... the princess... this..." looked at Wen Yuan resentfully!
Wen Yuan covered her mouth and her eyes were full of panic. Although she doesn't believe in Buddhism, she also understands the importance of this Avalokitesvara to the palace. It is said that it is the source of good luck and rewrites the luck of the palace, but it must be worshiped for three years to survive forever. Don't worry, now, it's broken ahead of time!Will the palace...the palace...will be in bad luck?
Shangguan Hong was also panic-stricken: "It's over, it's over, such a valuable thing is broken, what should I do?"

Leng Youru looked at Shui Linglong, and Shui Linglong was also looking at her. The eyes of the two met in the air for a moment, and then they staggered. Leng Youru said calmly: "It's okay, I asked for this one in the temple. I locked the one I bought at the door, just because I was afraid that the children would smash it someday.”

Wen Yuan felt relieved: "God! I was scared to death! It's okay, okay, I will pay the palace for these jade articles!"

Shangguan Hong blinked, took a deep breath, was relieved again, and then said in a trembling voice as if in shock: "My concubine really has the foresight, otherwise today's blunders are really... Forget it, it's my fault that I didn't stand firm, something Let me pay for it!"

Shui Linglong looked at the almost identical expressions of the two, raised her eyebrows, the answer was too obvious.

"We are relatives, it's too extravagant to talk about compensation or not. Brothers, sisters and Wen Yuan don't need to take it to heart." Leng Youru said calmly and bluntly.

Shangguan Hong smiled embarrassingly, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

Leng Youru tugged at the corner of her lips: "It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's just a few things broken, don't let people say that I'm petty, haggling with relatives over a little vulgar thing."

Wen Yuan echoed: "Yes, Aunt Tang, the princess has already said so, you'd better not keep mentioning this matter, those who don't know will really think how stingy the princess is!"

"Mother Concubine, let's send a few more people to clean up the Buddhist hall, in case a mouse steals the tribute and knocks over the white jade Guanyin, it will be bad." Shui Linglong suggested aloud.
