first princess

Chapter 246
"Did the doctor check those things?" Shui Linglong asked, logically speaking, the things she ordered to the dining room should be fine, and Mama Gong and Yao Xin had no grievances or enmities, and there was no reason to harm her.

Kumquat said honestly: "This time, it's really the master of the servant's family who ate his stomach badly. The doctor checked the food, the soup and the snacks of Gong's mother, and they are all right. It's the master who is greedy and drank the seafood soup. I ate a lot of grapes, and the doctor said that seafood and grapes should not be eaten together, and it is easy to vomit."

Shui Linglong raised her thick eyebrows. A few days ago, her second uncle sent a lot of grapes from Kashgar. She knew that Yao Xin liked to eat grapes, so she sent more to Fengyuan, but...seafood soup?It seems that only Brother Hao and Zhuge Yu like seafood in the house, and she clearly ordered black chicken soup.

Shui Linglong suppressed the strangeness in her heart and went to the dining room.The people in the dining room were all stunned when they saw the concubine Shi Zi came to the scene. In their impression, the concubine Wang Hao and the concubine Shi Zi had never set foot in the dining room, but the second young mistress and Aunt Dong Jia ran a little more. , but since the second young mistress was pregnant, she didn't come here much.

"Auspicious, the concubine!" The lady in charge of the dining room was the first to react, and took the lead in saluting. Behind her, the rest followed suit, "Auspicious, the concubine!"

Shui Linglong's cold eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, "Who was in charge of Mrs. Mu's supper last night?"

Mrs. Zheng took a step forward, and said respectfully: "If you come back to the concubine, you are a slave!"

Shui Linglong asked sternly: "I asked you to stew black-bone chicken soup, why did you send seafood soup?"

Madam Zheng's face turned pale, and she lowered her eyebrows and said: "It's this kind of concubine, the black chicken soup was taken away by the second young lady, and then the kumquat came to say that Mrs. Mu was starving, so the maid gave it to the cousin. The seafood soup was given to Mrs. Mu first, and then a new one was stewed and sent to Qingyou Courtyard." At the end, seeing Shui Linglong's gloomy face, she said again: "But there is something wrong with the soup?"

The stern look in Shui Linglong's eyes faded away, "No, I just asked why I didn't give it according to my regulations. Whoever gets it according to the regulations gets it. If someone who wants it later, let him wait in line. If you are a first-time offender, you will be fined ten days a month." , don’t be so casual in the dining room from now on, you understand?”

Madam Zheng shuddered, "Yes, yes, this servant knows!"

Shui Linglong heaved a sigh of relief, probably because she was at her wit's end.

After another two days, Yao Xin got better and went to the mansion to meet the elders.Zhuge Ling was dead, her son followed Leng Youru, and Yao Xin was not the kind of person with a small belly, so she quickly adapted to her identity. Xun Feng still called her "father, mother, concubine, grandma, elder brother, and elder sister-in-law", but she Shouting "Prince, Concubine, Old Majesty, Son, Concubine", unlike Qiao Hui's gentleness and humility, she is quite calm and easy.

After meeting with the elders, Yao Xin went to Mohe Courtyard to thank Shui Linglong.Seeing more gentle and demure women, Yao Xin, a handsome woman with a heart like a man, made Shui Linglong feel refreshed, and Shui Linglong received her warmly, "Are you used to living in the mansion?"

Yao Xin said comfortably, "Not bad."

Shui Linglong thought of that monk, last time he said that this life was different from any previous life she was reborn in. Before she had time to ask the specific difference, he was called away by Mrs. Yao. Shui Linglong always wanted to see her again his side.

"By the way, is your great-grandfather still in Yao Mansion?"

Yao Xin shook his head, "No, he didn't know what to do after attending Mrs. Leng's funeral. Why did you suddenly mention my great-grandfather?"

Shui Linglong said in a warm voice: "At the old lady's funeral, I had the chance to have a Zen discussion with the old man, and I really thought about it."

Pfft——Yao Xin laughed out loud, Shui Linglong was stunned, did she lie or make a mistake?Yao Xin is not a person who likes to laugh, but this time she was really amused by Shui Linglong, "Don't be fooled by my great-grandfather, he is not a monk! He just likes to wear monk's clothes to show off and cheat, like him Don't quit!"

Shui Linglong broke into a cold sweat, "So that's how it is. I think I'm some eminent monk, and my skin is so well maintained."

Yao Xin couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed again, "Concubine Shi Zi, you are so humorous..."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, did she make a mistake again?
It took Yao Xin a lot of effort to hold back his smile, his face was flushed, "You actually praised an old man with good skin, my great-grandfather must be happy to hear that."

Shui Linglong's pupils moved, and she asked doubtfully, "Have you seen your great-grandfather?"

Yao Xin took a breath, "No, he said he was old and ugly, he didn't want to scare us, so he didn't take off his bamboo hat."

Shui Linglong secretly sighed, he is everywhere, how can he find him?

Yao Xin took out a post from her purse and handed it to Shui Linglong, "The Empress called us into the palace, when are you free?"

Shui Linglong counted the days, she hadn't seen Bingbing for a long time, and she missed her very much, so she smiled and said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, how about this afternoon?"

There is nothing wrong with Yao Xin being alone.At this time, Zhi Fan came over with Sixi Soup, and put his hands in front of Yao Xin, "Madam Mu, please use it slowly."

Yao Xin was slightly taken aback, "This is..."

A look of narrowness flashed in Shui Linglong's eyes, and she explained with a smile: "It was supposed to be eaten on the second day of the wedding, but you were sick two days ago, but I think it should be eaten now."

Yao Xin's eyelashes trembled quickly, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as she was so free and easy, she bit the bullet and took it in her hand, "Thank you, Princess Concubine."

Shui Linglong heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that the two of them have really consummated their marriage, Yao Xin, you must use your infinite charm to conquer Xun Feng's heart, my great revolutionary cause depends entirely on you!

In the afternoon, Shui Linglong dressed her brother and sister neatly, and took them to the palace.Along the way, the elder brother and the younger sister were very excited. They chatted non-stop, but no one understood what they were talking about.Brother sat on Yao Xin's lap. At the age of one year and three months, his legs were full of strength. He hugged Yao Xin's neck and stabbed it before standing up.Yao Xin was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly supported his waist. He stretched out his chubby little claws, opened Yao Xin's slightly opened skirt and looked at the scenery inside, dripping a drop of crystal saliva.

The carriage shook a bit, Yao Xinquan was trying to grab something to stabilize her body, but before she could react, her chest suddenly felt hot, and it was her little paws that touched it.

"Ah!" Yao Xin was startled, and couldn't help crying out in a low voice.

Shui Linglong hugged her sister with one hand, and immediately pulled her brother into her arms with the other hand, she was so embarrassed, "Zhuge Hong, who did you inherit? You are so lewd!" The sister clapped her hands and laughed at him, "Sex! Lust!" Yao Xin was also embarrassed, but the culprit kept on giggling.

Weiyang Palace Baicui Pavilion, Shui Linglong and his party visited the queen.Bingbing wears a vermilion palace dress, combs a phoenix bun, and wears a phoenix crown. She is gorgeous, noble, elegant and elegant. She is very different from the young girl before entering the palace.Bingbing smiled gently, pointed to the carved official hat chair beside her, and said, "Prince Princess and Mrs. Mu, please sit down."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Shui Linglong and Yao Xin thanked, and walked sideways to sit on the official hat chair.

The elder brother and the younger sister were not so well-behaved, they shook off Shui Linglong's hand and started running in the open hall.As he was walking, he suddenly saw a little princess in a goose-yellow palace dress walking in.

The little princess is more than two months older than her brother and sister, and she is slightly taller. The mother said that there will be a little friend in the palace today, and she ran over without even eating lunch, "Mother's queen!"

Bingbing hugged her daughter firmly, smiled lovingly, pointed to Shui Linglong and Yao Xin, and said, "Go and meet Shizi Concubine and Mrs. Mu." Seeing her daughter's confused face, Bingbing taught her patiently, "Shi, Zi, Concubine, Mu, husband, person."

The little princess recited it silently for a few times, walked up to the two of them, and shouted happily: "Shizi Concubine, Mrs. Mu."

Shui Linglong and Yao Xin took out the prepared gifts and sent them to the little princess respectively. Shui Linglong gave a small Barbie doll, and Yao Xin gave a string of gold and jade beads, but obviously, compared to the priceless beads, little The princess prefers a little Barbie made of several pieces of cloth.She stroked the little Barbie, smiling all over her face, "Thank you, Princess Concubine." After a pause, she looked at Yao Xin, who had trembling eyelashes, "Thank you, Mrs. Mu."

Bingbing showed a gratified smile, "Yue'e, take a few young masters to play in the imperial garden, and I will chat with Shi Zifei and Mrs. Mu for a while."

"Yes, empress." Yue'e responded respectfully, and together with Zhi Fan, she left Weiyang Palace with her brother, sister and little princess.

Bingbing then told the rest of the court ladies and eunuchs: "You guys also step back."

Everyone filed out, and when there were no more outsiders, Bingbing suddenly stood up, walked to Shui Linglong and sat down beside Shui Linglong with a sweet smile, looked at the two and asked: "The palace is so boring, why don't you come to see me?" ?”

Shui Linglong showed a smile, "I see that the little princess is very sweet, with her company, are you still bored?"

Bingbing pouted her lips, "She can accompany you."

Yao Xin lowered her eyes and didn't answer.

Shui Linglong held her hand and asked with concern: "Is the emperor busy?"

Bingbing sighed slowly, "Busy, he is very busy in the court and harem. I haven't been pregnant since I gave birth to the little princess. The queen mother made the decision and promoted several Zhaoyi, Zhaorong and noble concubines without waiting for him Turn over the sign and send someone there every night. Except for fifteen or sixteen, he will come over to accompany me and the little princess for lunch on weekdays."

This is the emperor's last resort, especially a kind and filial emperor.Regarding this, Shui Linglong didn't comment much, but Shui Linglong thought of another thing, "Concubine Li...does the emperor think highly of her?"

Bingbing sighed again, "Forget it, after all, she is pregnant with a dragon heir, and the emperor will go to her palace every now and then."

"Then what about Concubine Yan?" Shui Linglong thought of the young woman who tried to learn cooking skills from her in the palace, and always felt that once such a persistent woman enters the palace, she will definitely not be willing to be inferior.

When Concubine Yan was mentioned, Bing Bing's eyes turned cold, "Don't mention her! All day long, relying on myself as the concubine conferred by the Supreme Emperor, she is domineering in the palace, even if I don't pay attention! Ignore me! Forget it, but even the queen mother can't touch her! This is really annoying!"

Undoubtedly, Empress Dowager Yao is on Bingbing's side. After all, Bingbing is the goddaughter of the Yao family. In this regard, other concubines can't catch up with her.The Leng family protected themselves from participating in the battle for the heir apparent, the Zhuge family also gradually became neutral under the order of the old man, the Xun family had long since declined, and now only the Yao family stands out.As long as the Yao family protects Bingbing, Bingbing will be able to sit firmly on the queen's position. It is a pity that the Supreme Emperor reused the Yao family and at the same time became jealous of it. This is why he supported the newly promoted Yan family. It can be said that the Yan family is a piece of the Yao family. piece.

After sorting out her thoughts, Shui Linglong had a flash of light in her mind, and asked, "Did the Empress Dowager push Concubine Li to the throne in order to check and balance Concubine Yan?"

It was rumored that Concubine Li doted on the harem, but Shui Linglong knew that Yun Li did not treat Concubine Li in a mediocre way, and that it was the Empress Dowager who really protected Concubine Li, and the reason why Concubine Yan hadn't conceived for more than a year was probably caused by the Empress Dowager. hands and feet.

Bingbing touched her temple embarrassingly, "Can you not be so smart? The Queen Mother forbids me to talk about this."

The embarrassment of the little daughter's family made Shui Linglong recall the nights the two spent together before leaving the pavilion, and she couldn't help feeling nostalgic, but those innocent and beautiful years are gone forever.Shui Linglong looked at Bingbing, and then at Yao Xin, she really felt that God sometimes arranges it very smoothly, Yao Xin, who is the most noble, married a merchant, and Bingbing, the merchant's daughter, became the queen instead.

Bingbing held Yao Xin's hand, and said seriously to Shui Linglong: "Xin'er is a taciturn person, it's not easy to get along with others, take care of her more in the palace."

Yao Xin's heart was moved, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Shui Linglong smiled and nodded, "I like Xiner's temperament very much, she doesn't fight or grab, she is calm and easy."

Yao Xin's eyes moved slightly, and her smile deepened a bit.

Bingbing clasped the hands of the two together, and said bluntly: "No matter what, the three of us are best friends! No matter how many storms there will be in the future, we must trust each other and tide over the difficulties together!"

Shui Linglong and Yao Xin exchanged glances and said in unison, "Okay!"

"Your Majesty, the lady of Guifang Hall is asking to see you." Outside the door, a report from the little palace lady suddenly came.

As soon as Bingbing heard the words "Guifang Palace", her brows furrowed imperceptibly, "I don't have time, so if she has anything to do, she can report to the servant on duty!"

The little palace maid said obsequiously: "Yes, this servant understands."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, isn't the residence of Guifang Palace the third prince's biological mother, Guitai Concubine?The third prince was the former third prince, because he used him to plot against Xun Feng, so Shui Linglong still remembered him well, if she remembered correctly, it was he who sent Shui Minyu to a separate cell. It saved Shui Minyu from the bad luck of being tortured by Zhang Gonggong.And listening to Bingbing's tone, it seems that he doesn't like to see his biological mother very much.

As if seeing Shui Linglong's doubts, Bingbing explained: "The queen mother found out that the third prince has ulterior motives, so she put the noble concubine under house arrest, which can be regarded as a warning to the third prince. If he keeps himself safe, the noble concubine can take care of herself in the palace. If he raises an army to rebel, the Empress Dowager will be the first to kill the Dowager Dowager. Because the matter is so important, I dare not associate too much with the Dowager Dowager, but she is very picky. There are cockroaches in the house today, and there will be cockroaches in the yard tomorrow. There are rats, they send people to my place every three days, and those who don’t know think how close I am to her. To avoid suspicion, I simply don’t see people from Guifang Palace.”

Shui Linglong was noncommittal, "If you can ignore it, just ignore it, so as not to cause a commotion."

"Yes, there may not be good rewards for being nosy." Bingbing agreed, and suddenly her pupils shrank, and she asked, "Oh, what's going on with you and Shizi? Are those rumors true?"

Shui Linglong looked at her in astonishment, and Bingbing said: "Now it is spread in the palace that the prince is not the princess's biological son, and that the prince's original spouse in Kashgar has entered Beijing and lives in the general's mansion. Are these really true? Really?"

Shui Linglong said as usual, "Oh, it's not her own."

Rumors are rumors, but when it was actually confirmed by Shui Linglong, Bingbing was still very surprised, "Then, what about Zhuge Xi?"

"It's not the princess's either."

Bingbing took a breath, "Oh my God! The princess has been married to the prince for more than 20 years, but she has no children! No, she is only pregnant now!"

Shui Linglong briefly stated the matter of Yan'er's early death, omitting the process of finding the cure for poisoning.Bingbing was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, "Then...then now...the prince's original spouse is back, what should I do? Both of them are the prince's wife, and the emperor didn't ask the prince to divorce the original spouse when he bestowed the marriage. , the prince is not yet the prince, so he decided on the candidate but did not issue the imperial edict."

Shui Linglong put her hair from her temples behind her ears, "Yeah, I only talked about giving a marriage, and nothing else. It was ambiguous and intentional to provoke speculation, but the princess was appointed by default, just like Kashiqing couldn't accept the princess as the wife of the patriarch. And Shangguan Qian is not allowed to become the Great Zhou Princess."

Bingbing pressed her head, "The emperor is so cunning."

During the conversation, a young eunuch rushed in staggeringly, Bing Bingliu frowned suddenly, "What's the matter of panic? I allow you to come in?"

The little eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said anxiously: "No...no...it's not good...the Concubine Gui escaped from the Guifang Palace somehow, and also escaped from the Taihe Palace..."

"Since you have escaped from the Supreme Harmony Palace, you should immediately notify the Imperial Forest Army to arrest him!"

"No...the Royal Forest Army has gone...but everyone dare not touch her..."

"why?"

The little eunuch glanced at Shui Linglong, Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched, and the little eunuch tremblingly said: "The noble concubine...the noble concubine rushed to the imperial garden... hijacked... hijacked the young lady of Zhuge's family... "

boom!The teacup in Shui Linglong's hand smashed to pieces on the ground...

The sun was shining brightly, and the imperial garden was full of flowers. The imperial concubine in a red palace dress hugged her crying sister, put her hairpin against her neck, and looked fiercely at everyone, "Stay away from me! Otherwise, I will Kill her! She is the daughter of Zhenbei Wangfu, if she dies in the palace, you all have to be buried with her!"
