first princess

Chapter 26 Punish the First Brother (3)
Face changing... so fast!Zhuge Yu rubbed the bridge of his nose: "A Zen conference was held in a county near the capital. Three demon monks went to participate on behalf of their respective temples. They were killed by robbers on the way, and the Taoist priest fell down in the toilet in the middle of the night. Descending the hillside, bleeding from the head and dying."

"so?"

"So they should have been silenced by someone. Don't worry if the horoscopes are inconsistent and they are self-defeating."

"Then your father suspects who is behind the scenes?"

"If there is no accident, whoever proposes marriage to you next, he will naturally suspect who." The father always couldn't keep calm when encountering him. This time, the father was really angry.

Will Xun Feng come to propose marriage?Shui Linglong holds a negative attitude.Xun Feng has always shown himself as a sick and weak image who is indifferent to the world, so that he will not push himself to the forefront because of his curiosity about her.Shui Linglong thought of Yun Li, that gentle and jade-like man.If he was really interested in her, and asked to marry her or accept her as his concubine...wouldn't he have fallen into Xun Feng's trap, and thus be resented by the Zhenbei Palace?

January time flies by like a white horse. During this period, most of Shuihangge stays in Changlexuan. Outsiders all know that the eldest lady and the old man are deeply in love with each other. Even if the old lady is no longer in charge of the house, she is also the treasure in the heart of the old lady. The eldest lady...not to be underestimated !Only Qin Fangyi understood that none of the maids in Changlexuan were clean.

The sun was shining brightly, the snow had melted, and the ground was wet, reflecting the sun and shining brilliantly.

A distinguished guest came to the mansion today, and it was Nanny Tan, who was the most powerful by Concubine Yu's side. Nanny Tan went all the way to the Fushouyuan unimpeded. , smashed it to pieces on the ground: "Nurse, you... you... are you telling the truth?"

Tan Momo said with a smile: "Of course it is true. Your Majesty has invited several imperial physicians to make a diagnosis. It is unmistakable! My Majesty said that the method taught by the eldest lady works. She conceived after a few nights of trying!"

Concubine Yu's little days are at the beginning of the month, and the tenth day after the event is almost NO.17. The emperor stays in the queen's bedroom on the 25th and [-]th of each month, and then sleeps in the bedrooms of the noble concubine, Shu concubine and Xian concubine for the next few days , I will rest alone for a few more days, and I will not start to visit other concubines until after the [-]th.Therefore, the days when Concubine Yu was favored were not within the fertile period. Since she was teased by Shui Linglong, Concubine Yu took the initiative to go to the emperor's bedroom to invite her to be petted. As a result, she was really pregnant!

The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and she was happier than hearing that Aunt Zhou was pregnant: "Amitabha! Bodhisattva bless you! The empress is finally looking forward to her own child! Nanny Tan, you are not an outsider, so I will tell you whatever is in my heart." I said it. The beauty is easy to grow old, the empress is young and beautiful, but there is no guarantee that one day it will not be able to withstand the passing of time, the child... will be relied on by the empress for the rest of her life! Linglong is our lucky star, not only cured my tuberculosis, I also helped the empress conceive a child, I will definitely take good care of this girl!"

"That's the reason." Mother Tan said kindly, "Your Majesty also said that our Water Mansion has a concubine for the emperor, and is about to produce a concubine for the crown prince. The noble family is comparable to that of an ordinary official's family. The young lady in the mansion In the future, they will all be worthy of worthless bodies, so the empress paid a lot of money to hire the former Shang Gong to be the wife of the ladies. If you want to say that this Jin Shang Palace is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don’t know how many noble ladies want to invite her to come. Going to teach her daughter, but she was tired of dealing with others, and she just wanted to leave her old age and return to her hometown, if she didn't owe Empress Jade a kindness, Empress Jade would not be able to hire her no matter how much money she spent."

The old lady was very grateful: "Your Majesty's grace!"

Nanny Tan has always maintained a standard polite smile: "At the beginning of next month, on the mother's birthday, the emperor has granted the daughters of the mansion to stay in the palace for a few days, and have the right to be the bridesmaids to relieve boredom, so that the mother can raise her baby with peace of mind."

Under normal circumstances, not to mention concubines, even the empress can only get a relative to accompany her in the palace in the last month of her pregnancy. How much the emperor loves concubine Yu!The old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she personally took out a pair of gold and five things from the dressing table and handed it to Nanny Tan, and solemnly prayed: "Mommy is the aunt who taught me when she first entered the palace. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary masters and servants, the mother is able to win the Sacred Heart, thanks to the mother's contribution, here, the old man will thank the mother on behalf of the mother!"

After saying that, she stood up and bowed to Nanny Tan.

Nanny Tan's complexion changed slightly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady: "Don't do this! It is my duty to be loyal to my mother, and I will take good care of my mother!"

The old lady said solemnly: "I'm afraid that my mother's favor is too much. She has long been the target of public criticism, but she is not appreciated by the queen of the palace. It will take a lot of effort to make the mother and child safe. I ask the mother to take care of the mother like my own daughter. !"

What the old lady wants is not sincerity, but true love!Nanny Tan took a weak breath. The first time she saw Concubine Yu, she knew that this girl would definitely be favored by the emperor. In terms of appearance, Concubine Yu was indeed quite pretty, but in the harem of beautiful women like jade Well, this beauty is not enough to attract the attention of the emperor, she stands out among the three thousand beauties because of her dress, words and deeds, even her demeanor and smile are too much like that person back then!
Concubine Xiang also resembled her, but her appearance was not similar in spirit. Over time, the emperor lost much interest in Concubine Xiang, but he still tolerated Concubine Xiang's arrogance because of her three-point similarity with that person.

She served the emperor in her early years, and Concubine Yu in her later years. Most of her life's ups and downs have worn away her sincerity. How do you know what kind of feeling this is?
Nanny Tan's eyes flickered, and she smiled without changing her face: "I will, old lady, please rest assured!"

In Lingxiang Courtyard, Zhifan brought a small stove and set up a small hot pot. Today, they ate boiled mutton. There was no such food in the mansion, and Prince Zhuge ordered him to bring everything including the stove.

It is said that a good woman is a book that ordinary people can't understand, and wise men can read tirelessly. Because of this sentence, Zhi Fan doubted her own IQ for the first time, because...she really can't understand Missy!

The eldest lady likes to be lively, and she hardly stays in the room alone except for sleeping. Whether it is writing or painting, there must be at least three servants around her, even if they are just doing embroidery.Sometimes, the eldest lady just leans on the back of the chair and watches them threading needles without doing anything, and she never gets tired of watching them for an hour!It was as if I had never seen a living person in my life!
Also, the eldest lady sleeps without a lamp, and she has to light a lamp during her lunch break.If she wakes up in the middle and finds that the lights are off, hehe, whoever is on duty will eat the board!

What's even more strange is that the lady's outer shirt can be simple and clean, or the fabric can be flat, but the bellyband and inner jacket are absolutely astonishingly exquisite. The color, workmanship, embroidery, and material are all perfect. After a month, Style without repetition.

Don't most people dress brightly on the outside, and just passable on the inside?There is still a patch on her bellyband, but the jacket is brand new!

What puzzled Zhifan the most was that the young lady practiced calligraphy every day, but her handwriting was like a ghost;

Zhi Fan shook her head, probably she would never understand Miss in her life.

Mother Zhong came in with the washed mutton slices and a jasmine tea bag to remove the smell. The smell of the smell was so strong that Zhi Fan and Liu Lu almost vomited out.Mutton is the favorite food of barbarians in Mobei. The people of Dazhou are not used to eating things with too strong smell. Let alone put a jasmine tea bag, even if you put ten jasmine tea bags, you can’t eat Zhifan and Liulu. "Benevolence" always greets them to eat together.They suddenly envied Ye Mao, who could avoid a meal of torture when he was injured and couldn't eat.

"That... that... Eldest miss, this servant has a stomachache and can't eat meat." Liu Lu held her breath and said boldly.

Shui Linglong picked up a piece of raw mutton with chopsticks and put it into the hot pot, said casually: "Oh, well, Mama Zhong, remember not to put meat in the rice for Liu Lu these days."

Liu Lu choked, I was wrong...

Liu Lu failed to lead the charge, Zhi Fan resolutely sat down, put a chopstick of mutton into the pot, cooked it, and swallowed it with garlic sauce, yes, swallowed, without chewing at all: "Well, really... Delicious!"

"Eat more if it tastes good." Shui Linglong scooped up a whole plate of mutton into Zhifan's bowl, "Mother Zhong, cut another plate."

The branches are messy in the wind...

After eating the hot pot, Fushouyuan sent a message, and the old lady summoned her.

Shui Linglong washed her hair and took a shower, and made sure that she no longer smelled of hot pot before she dressed neatly and went to Fushouyuan.

The day on February [-]st was still cold, the wind blew on her face which was cool and stinging, Shui Linglong tightened her cloak and quickened her pace.

On the secluded path where Shui Lingyue and Shui Lingyue met last time, a delicate figure suddenly jumped out from another path, and bumped into Liu Lu!

"Oh! Who is it? Are you so short-sighted?" Liu Lu felt the pain, pushed the man away, and rubbed her stomach.

Shui Linglong stared and said, "Sister Huayi?" The maid who sympathized with her about to marry the notorious Zhuge Yu in the temple, and kindly told her that nobles should avoid red.It's only been a month, how did she lose weight like this?His complexion is yellowish, and the dark circles under his eyes are extremely serious!
Huayi raised her eyes and found that the person she bumped into was the eldest lady. A memory flashed in her mind, and she, who was about to run away, plopped and knelt down in front of Shui Linglong: "Missy!"

Shui Linglong's eyes froze, and she said to Liu Lu: "You stay on the sidelines, and remind me when someone comes."

"Yes!" Zhi Fan and Liu Lu stood at two sections of the road, one south and one north.

Shui Linglong walked to the rockery, Huayi followed, and after making sure there were no outsiders, Shui Linglong asked, "Sister Huayi, are you sick?"

It's not because she's sick, but because she was tortured like this by mother Zhao's son!It was only later that she realized that she had been used by Shiqing. She wanted to expose Shiqing's conspiracy, but Mother Zhao never gave her a chance to get out of the yard!She was drunk that day, and when she woke up, she found that she was naked and was being ruined by a man!And that man was so stupid that he not only did such embarrassing things to her day and night, but also bit her and beat her!She can feel that she will not live long, she is a slave, and no one cares about her death...

Huayi shook her head, tears welled up in her eyes, she looked around, as if she was avoiding someone's pursuit, she was very nervous: "Miss! I don't have much time for this servant, I want to ask you something! It seems that this servant once kindly reminded you For the sake of this, you promise this servant one thing, okay?"

As she said that, Huayi knelt down, intending to hug Shui Linglong's feet, but Shui Linglong took a step back to avoid it: "Don't touch me! Otherwise, I'll leave immediately!"

Huayi was startled, then delighted, Miss...is this considered a promise?With tears in her eyes, the painting smiled bitterly: "This servant will not live long!"

Shui Linglong is slightly taken aback, is it because she won't live long...or doesn't want to live?

Huayi continued: "I beg the eldest lady to cremate the servant girl after her death. If the eldest lady has the opportunity to go to Mobei in the future, please ask the eldest lady to scatter the ashes of the servant girl on the prairie in Mobei... I really want the grassland in Mobei, I want the mutton boiled by Eji..."

Mobei?Shui Linglong's mind suddenly buzzed. Mobei is a nomadic people, located in the northern part of Dazhou. These years, the two sides have been fighting for the mining development rights on the border and the territorial rights in the Huaihai area. The flames of war have almost filled the entire area. Over the border, I heard that the soil there was stained red by the blood of soldiers.It was Guo Yan who defeated Mobei that he was awarded the mighty general.

Huayi, an inconspicuous maid, no, from Mobei, "stuck" into...Shangshu Mansion? !
A trace of extreme vigilance flashed in Shui Linglong's eyes.

Huayi's scalp felt numb for a while, could it be that she made a wrong bet?Miss is like those people, when they heard that she was from Mobei, they thought she was a spy?No!not like this!She is not meticulous!Although she also came from a famous family, she...was not instructed by anyone!She and her brother simply drifted to Dazhou!
"Miss! You listen to the servant's explanation! The original name of the servant..."

"Where did that bastard Huayi go? If my old lady finds you, I'll cripple your leg! Dare to play cat and mouse with my old lady? Pooh! Little bastard!"

Before Huayi could finish her sentence, she remembered Zhao's mother's cold scolding in the distance, and Huayi trembled as if she had been electrocuted!There was a hint of panic and despair in her tear-filled eyes, and she escaped after a lot of effort. After this incident, Mother Zhao must be more cautious, she... has no chance!

She gritted her teeth, untied a piece of crescent-shaped jade pendant from her neck, and stuffed it into Shui Linglong's hands: "Master dotes on all the maids in Changlexuan! Sometimes several of them serve Master together. If things go on like this, Master's body will be hollowed out!"

Then he stood up and ran away without looking back!
The last moment was not to intercede for herself, but to sell her a favor, but Shui Linglong couldn't refuse it.Shui Linglong picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. The sun shone into the transparent suet jade, and the words on the back clearly came into view—Nuowa, is this the name of the painting?
Shui Linglong thought of the mysterious concubine of Mobei again, and vaguely felt that Mobei's defeat was very strange. The Dong family was wiped out, and even the baby was not spared. Without an heir, the people of Mobei could only retreat. Secondly, elect the most prominent Tai clan to be in power. Since Mobei has all the secrets and entered the Great Zhou Palace, why did the Dong clan lose so badly?Besides, Guo Yan wouldn't be so mad that he even killed the baby, right?
Forget it, she is no longer a queen, nor is she a counselor, she is just a concubine Shui Linglong, what does state affairs and war affairs have to do with her?Shui Linglong put away the jade pendant, took Zhi Fan and Liu Lu away, and went to Fushouyuan.

The few people walked for a quarter of an hour, and a strong young servant quietly chased him up. He was unattractive and had a dark yellow complexion. He belonged to the species that would not want to strike up a conversation with him even after seeing him a hundred times. It was that person in disguise. The first skill I taught him is that even if you are a prince, you must act like a beggar if you pretend to be a beggar.
He hid behind the locust tree, picked up the stones in his hands, and judged when was the most suitable time to get rid of the two maids beside Shui Linglong. There was a small lotus pond 30 meters ahead of them, and the maids who were thicker Breathing is steady and powerful, it can be seen that the lung capacity is excellent, the shoulders are broad, the body is thick and thin, and it should be very good at swimming and butterfly stroke.Letting her fall into the water will not kill anyone, and it can save a life.

With this thought in mind, he added another stone in his hand, ready to drive Zhi Fan and Liu Lu into the water at the same time, and then took Shui Linglong away while they were thumping in the water.

No way, he misses her so much!
Miss her arms!Miss her smell!Thinking about it made my whole heart into a ball!
Today, despite the danger of being regarded as a lunatic, he also wants to tell her who he is!

Just when he raised his hand and was about to make a move, Mama Du came over from behind: "Hey! Newcomer... who is that? This is where the masters live, you can't come! I just want to see you Because of your strength, you are allowed to enter the inner house to work, but I tell you, except for the courtyard and dining room, you are not allowed to walk around at will! Otherwise, I will immediately report to the old lady to drive you out of the Shangshufu!"

He was trembling with anger, just one step away!Really only one step left!
