first princess

Chapter 40
After getting off the carriage, Nanny Tan led Shui Linglong and her party to the Guanju Hall. Along the way, Shui Lingyue's jealous eyes wished to penetrate Shui Linglong's back. She is the daughter of a noble concubine, so why can't she be compared to a concubine? The daughter of the outer room?Shui Linglong can be a concubine, but she can only marry a sixty-year-old man to fill in the house!Why?Shui Linglong was born to restrain her. As soon as Shui Linglong returned to the mansion, the eldest lady gave her a luxurious golden hairpin. Immediately afterwards, the old lady looked at her differently... No, these are not the most annoying things, the most annoying thing is that the prince was going to marry is her!Shui Lingxi took the jade pendant from her to replace her as the crown princess, huh!What hidden secrets are hidden in the middle?
It is undeniable that Shui Lingyue is indeed a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. If she is not good, she hopes that everyone will accompany her to be unlucky!

At this time, Mother Tan pointed to a magnificent palace with brackets and cornices, and introduced with a smile: "This is the original bedroom of His Royal Highness, and no one lives in it now, but no one is allowed to enter without authorization. , can be avoided."

Shui Linglong smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Mommy."

Crown Prince... bedroom?A light flashed in Shui Lingyue's mind. If the prince knew that Shui Linglong was originally betrothed to him, and that Shui Lingxi came to power in a disgraceful manner, would the prince feel that he was being tricked and be angry?Once he got angry, the consequences would be very serious?If you dare to let her marry the old man, she will make them all hungry!
In the Yilan Pavilion of the Guanju Palace, everyone saw Concubine Yu, who was more than two months pregnant. Concubine Yu was wearing an apricot-colored Ruan Yanluo top, lined with a purple pleated skirt, and the skirt and cuffs were embroidered with gold thread. For the lifelike Qingluan, when the breeze blows, Qingluan flutters its wings, as if it is about to fly out, and it makes her look pale due to severe embarrassment, showing a bit of immortality.

"May the concubine Yu be blessed and safe!" Shui Linglong, Shui Lingyue and Shui Lingqing gave big gifts to Concubine Yu.

"You're here! I've been looking forward to you all day!" Concubine Yu said happily, and looked at the handsome and charming little eunuch beside her, "Little Dezi, quickly help the ladies up!"

"Yes!" Xiao Dezi smiled obsequiously, walked to the side of the crowd, intentionally or unintentionally, he helped Shui Linglong, but said, "Miss, please get up, don't kneel down!"

"Thank you, ma'am!" Everyone stood up, took the gifts they had prepared earlier in the hands of the maids, and presented them to Concubine Yu one after another.

What Shui Linglong gave was the merman's tears she won from Leng Yixuan last time, what Shui Lingyue gave was a jade carving of Guanyin giving her son, what Shui Lingqing had no money, what she gave was a rouge made by herself and two sets of Baby clothes made by Aunt Feng.

Concubine Yu looked at it carefully, and expressed her high regard and gratitude for everyone's thoughts and fruits of labor. Finally, when she took the gift from Shui Lingqing, she caught the wound on Shui Lingqing's fingertips sharply. It was accidentally smashed when smashing the petals.Concubine Yu frowned, held Shui Lingqing's hand, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"

Shui Lingqing was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Concubine Yu in surprise and flattery. This person is a high-ranking concubine. Doesn't she dislike her for being a little concubine?Concubine Yu's beautiful eyes flickered with gentle light, just like her mother, Shui Lingqing's eyes turned red, and she shed tears uncontrollably: "It hurts!"

The maids in the palace gasped, this young lady is really stupid!No matter how approachable the empress is, she can't cry in front of her face and say "it hurts" in a daze!Is this a disguised invitation to the empress?
Xiao Dezi is a genius, he immediately fetched the medicine for golden sores from the inner hall, Concubine Yu personally applied the medicine on Shui Lingqing, and then ordered Nanny Tan to serve the cakes newly made by the imperial dining room, and told Shui Linglong and others to eat.Neither Shui Linglong nor Shui Lingyue ate much, the former did not like too bland tastes, the latter did not want to act as if she had never seen the world, but Shui Lingqing ate up three plates of pastries one bite at a time. She was so frightened that Nanny Tan stuffed back the fourth plate of pastries that she planned to bring out!

Shui Linglong quietly looked at Concubine Yu who was smiling like a flower. If Aunt Zhou and Aunt Lan resembled Dong Jiaxue one or two points in appearance, then Concubine Yu was similar to Concubine Dong Jiaxue in demeanor and living habits. For example, Concubine Yu Concubine and Dong Jiaxue both love purple, and like to touch the right earlobe when they laugh, and Concubine Yu is one of the few Dazhou people who can also eat mutton, which is exactly the same as Dong Jiaxue.

Now, what Shui Linglong is thinking about is not these trivial matters, but the real reason why Concubine Yu called them into the palace. She had too little contact with Concubine Yu in her previous life, and she didn't understand Concubine Yu's temperament, so she couldn't figure out whether Concubine Yu was sincere Missing her family is still a way to show the emperor's unique favor to her.Concubine Yu's virtuous reputation spread far and wide, she was close to the concubine, and treated her servants kindly, but Shui Linglong, who was once a queen, knew that a person without two skills could not survive in the harem.

Concubine Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped the froth from the corners of Shui Lingqing's mouth, and said with a pleasant smile: "If I give birth to a daughter who is as cute as you, I will be satisfied."

Shui Lingqing lowered her head shyly: "Mother Luo said that her daughters are losers, so it's better for your mother to have a son."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces turned green!What do you mean by "all daughters lose money"?Can the princess be a loser?Is Concubine Yu also a loser?
Concubine Yu pulled the corner of her lips in embarrassment: "Then...then give birth to a son!"

At the end, Concubine Yu said, "In early spring, the wind in Taiye Lake is too strong. If the temperature rises in a few days, maybe someone can take you to Taiye Lake for boating."

This is a very standard polite sentence.

Shui Lingqing said without thinking, "I don't like rowing."

The corners of Xiao Dezi's mouth twitched, really... so direct!

"Your Majesty, Li Meiren and Liang Guiren are here." Lady Xin reported respectfully at the gate of Yi Lanxuan.

Concubine Yu frowned when she heard this, she was obviously very impatient, but she only tightened the handkerchief until her knuckles turned white, finally, took a deep breath, and smiled slowly: "Let the two of you Come in, sister."

Xiao Dezi murmured in a low voice: "Every day, the slaves see calluses on their eyes. Do you really think that others are fools and can't see their small thoughts?"

Concubine Yu glared at him, Xiao Dezi shrank his neck in fright, and quickly lowered his head.

Shui Linglong Youruo Mingyuan's eyes flickered with a hint of darkness, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then looked at Concubine Yu: "Your Majesty, do we need to avoid it?"

Concubine Yu smiled slightly: "No need, you are my family, and you will live in the palace for a while, so it's okay to avoid anyone who comes? Don't be nervous, except for the queen and the third concubine, no one has a higher status than me .”

While talking, two beautifully dressed young women stepped into Yilanxuan. The one with a light green palace skirt and a slender figure is a chestnut beauty who has been in the palace for three years, and the seventh rank; Liang nobleman of the palace, sixth rank.

"Greetings to Sister Yufei." The two saluted respectfully.

Concubine Yu couldn't help touching her lower abdomen, and smiled gently: "You two sisters don't need to be polite."

"Hey! Is it too unlucky for the concubines to come today? My sister is meeting with guests!" Li Meiren looked around and said with a smile, "I didn't hear my sister mention it when I came to pay my respects to my sister yesterday! Invited family members into the palace without making any noise? The concubine didn't know that there was an honored guest coming, so she neglected to prepare the ceremony, please forgive me, ladies."

The concubine of the emperor invites Haihan, a boudoir girl who has no rank, and she is flattered just by saying such words, which shows that concubine Yu's status in the palace is extraordinary.

Liang Guiren smiled lightly and asked: "I don't know which ladies from the Shui family you are?"

Shui Linglong stood up, and replied neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impetuous: "The eldest daughter, Shui Linglong, send greetings to Liang Guiren and Li Meiren."

Shui Lingyue and Shui Lingqing greeted each other according to the gourd painting.

Liang Guiren glanced at him, surprised, but didn't say much.

Li Meiren's eyes fell on Shui Linglong, and she said with a smile: "Oh, it's the princess concubine of the Zhenbei Palace! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Concubine Yu smiled kindly: "A few days ago, I would like to thank the two younger sisters for accompanying me to relieve my boredom, but now I have family members to accompany me, so I don't bother my younger sisters."

The eviction order has been issued, and Li Meiren and Liang Guiren have to stand up no matter how unwilling they are. Li Meiren said: "If the empress is tired, please call the concubines to greet the daughters at any time."

Concubine Yu is pregnant, and the emperor often comes to visit, but it is not suitable for concubine Yu to stay in bed, so these people have the idea of ​​meeting the emperor in the Guanju Palace, and take the opportunity to share a share of the pie.

After the two left, Nanny Tan, Mrs. Xin and Xiao Dezi took Shui Linglong, Shui Lingyue and Shui Lingqing to the room where they lived respectively.

There are [-] rooms in Guanju Hall. The Cuiping Pavilion is in the south when meeting the emperor, and Yilanxuan is in the south when meeting concubines or family members. On weekdays, Concubine Yu spends her leisure time in the middle of Yilanxuan and Cuiping Pavilion. Small Flower Hall.

There are four large rooms on the west side for the servants to live in, and the bedrooms of the masters are behind the second entrance hanging flower door.

Dongzheng Room is the place where Concubine Yu and the Emperor have sex. After the intercourse, Concubine Yu can stay in Dongzheng Room with the permission of the Emperor. If the Emperor leaves, Concubine Yu can only go back to her own Dongzheng Room to rest.

Shui Linglong and her party were arranged in a relatively secluded north wing room, with Shui Linglong living in the main room, and Shui Lingyue and Shui Lingqing living in two secondary rooms respectively.Although it is only a second time, it is much more luxurious than the furnishings in the Shangshu Mansion. Brand new pineapple furniture, three-dimensional double-sided embroidered screens, a dazzling array of jade and porcelain, pure gold carved bronze mirrors, and the latest jewelry... It is completely a dream Paradise!

Shui Lingyue was dumbfounded, the room where a guest lives is so luxurious, the concubines in the palace... are really rich!

In the north main room, Zhifan hung up and folded the clothes that should be brought, Shui Linglong sat in the car for more than half an hour, her head was a little dizzy and she was about to take a nap, at this moment, Concubine Yu came .

Shui Linglong and Zhigong hurriedly bowed to salute, Yufei took a few steps forward and took Shui Linglong's hand, and said softly: "I'm bored, I want to talk to you for a while."

Zhi Fan backed out knowingly, and stood guard at the door with Xiao Dezi.

Concubine Yu pulled Shui Linglong to sit on the imperial concubine's couch. Shui Linglong always maintained a respectful, polite, calm and elegant smile. Concubine Yu raised her hand to touch Shui Linglong's eyebrows and hair, and said with a smile: "And Sister-in-law looks really similar!"

sister-in-law?Shui Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Concubine Yu in disbelief, she definitely didn't look like Qin Fangyi—
Concubine Yu didn't seem to notice Shui Linglong's astonishment, she looked ahead, and her eyes fell on a white jade and green pine in Duobaoge: "I made a baby kiss with someone when I was very young. When I was 14 years old, the other party asked Marrying me through the door, that family is actually in ruins, but because of face, your grandfather insisted on marrying me in. The night before we got married, with the help of your grandmother, I sneaked out with my money, all the way When I rushed to Tong County, my eldest brother and my sister-in-law lived in that village. When my elder brother heard about my escape from marriage, he was so angry that he tied me up and prepared to send me back to my hometown. It was my sister-in-law who rescued me and gave the family a large sum of money. Fengcai broke off the engagement. Later, my elder brother went to Beijing to take the exam, and my sister-in-law and I lived in Zhuangzi for a year, and my elder brother only came back once a month. On weekdays, my sister-in-law and I spent time together. My sister-in-law was very kind to me."

Neither Dong Jiaxue nor Shui Hangge mentioned this to her.Shui Linglong lowered her eyes to hide the inadvertent flash of puzzlement, perhaps this is why Concubine Yu and Dong Jiaxue have so many similarities.

Later, Concubine Yu babbled about many things between her and Dong Jiaxue, until Xiao Dezi reported at the door whether the meal was needed, Concubine Yu smiled and pulled Shui Linglong out of the North Zhengjian.

In the side hall, Shui Lingyue and Shui Ling stood aside respectfully early in the morning, waiting for Concubine Yu to arrive, seeing Concubine Yu and Shui Linglong coming hand in hand, Shui Lingyue's eyes turned cold, a knife pierced her heart In Yilanxuan, she flattered Concubine Yu in every possible way and tried to pretend to be a friendly sister. Even Shui Lingqing, who looked down on her the most, gave her many sweet smiles that she had never seen before, even because Concubine Yu took pity on Shui Lingqing, she even wiped Shui Lingqing's hands, hum, just thinking about it makes me sick!That kind of claws are also worthy of helping her to do it? !On the other hand, Shui Linglong, in fact, has been acting very plainly. She thought that Concubine Yu would definitely not like Shui Linglong, but why?At this moment, Concubine Yu and Shui Linglong held hands affectionately?

"Are you still used to the decoration in the room? If you feel uncomfortable, please remember to tell me. I don't know what you like, but I just arranged it according to the room before I left the pavilion." Concubine Yu said politely, looking at She looked at Shui Lingyue, who had dark eyes.

Shui Lingyue's scalp went numb, and she quickly suppressed her annoyed expression, and put on a polite smile: "Niangniang Hui has a heart and elegant taste. When I entered, I thought I had entered a fairy palace! I couldn't recover for a long time!"

Everyone laughed, Concubine Yu nodded Shui Lingyue's forehead, and said affectionately: "You girl, you are so poor!" Without waiting for Shui Lingqing's answer, her eyes fell directly on the dining table.

Shui Lingyue's smile was somewhat sincere.

Tan Momo ordered someone to pass the food, Concubine Yu sat down and stretched out her hands, and Lady Xin took off her armor, she smiled gently: "Don't be restrained, just treat it as if you are at home, how you usually eat, now you can how to eat."

Having said that, several people still thanked Concubine Yu according to the etiquette taught by Jinshang Palace, and then sat down according to the order of teeth.
