first princess

Chapter 49
"Miss, Miss Si really became the emperor's concubine?" Mother Zhong asked suspiciously. She has become a nobleman again, I am afraid Qin Fangyi will have to give her some face."

Shui Linglong took a sip of rose tea: "Aunt Zhou is just a concubine, Shui Lingyue's aunt is Qin Fangyi, this honor should belong to Qin Fangyi, and has nothing to do with Aunt Zhou." Shui Lingyue was not a filial person to begin with. For some reason, Shui Linglong laughed, "Shui Lingyue transformed into Shui Lingxi's concubine, and Shui Lingxi's guts are probably green with anger!"

A pair of sisters, the elder sister became the princess, and the younger sister became the imperial concubine, this kind of laughing out of the teeth can only be done by the royal family.

Zhi Fan's pupils moved, and he echoed with a smile: "Isn't it? Before you entered the mansion, besides the Second Miss, the Fourth Miss was the most honorable one. It's not that the Fourth Miss is not jealous of the Second Miss. Bow your head, now that the situation has changed, Miss Fourth has become the Emperor's precious person, although she is not as noble as the Crown Princess, she is indeed superior in terms of seniority."

Shui Linglong put down the teacup, and held up a book of war: "So what if you press one end? The concubines below the concubine have to salute when they see the crown princess. With Shui Lingyue's temperament, once the bout of joy is over, you will have to wait." I started to grit my teeth and feel annoyed."

"Our young lady is still lucky!" Zhi Fan sincerely praised.

"The saying of good luck is never reliable. What you sow will bring you what you want. The road to prosperity in the eyes of the world may not be smooth sailing." Can Shui Lingyue really thrive in the palace?If someone like Shui Lingyu is a bit smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, maybe she can still live in peace, Shui Lingyue... just wait and see!

"Okay, I have to rest early, tomorrow is another busy day." Shui Linglong stretched her waist, "Get some water."

After bathing, Shui Linglong took anti-allergic medicine, the side effect was drowsiness, and she fell into a drowsy sleep not long after.Most people are allergic to flowers and plants, but she is allergic to wind-cold medicine and seafood. Of course, this is her weakness, and no one knows it except Dong Jiaxue and Xun Feng from the previous life.

This night, Yun Li came to Shangshu Mansion again, and had a secret conversation with Shui Hangge in the flower hall for an entire hour. Before leaving, Shui Hangge solemnly kowtowed to the prince.

The next day, Shui Linglong got up a little later than usual, and the side effects of the medicine were still there. She didn't eat much, and couldn't eat half a bowl of porridge and a poached egg. A plate of spicy cabbage was prepared on the table, and she tasted it a little. She took a sip, but she was not greedy. After experiencing Shui Chenxiang, she had a better understanding of her situation and identity.She was so insignificant, she entered the palace twice, not to mention the queen, she didn't even see the third concubine.

In the Fushou Courtyard, all the female family members except Qin Fangyi and Aunt Zhou were present. Since Aunt Zhou's deeds were exposed, Shui Hangge had been to Qin Fangyi's yard several times, but was pushed out by Qin Fangyi for various reasons every time. Qin Fangyi's attitude was so tough, Shui Hangge felt more and more that he had wronged her, and walked to Changle Xuan more frequently.

Aunt Zhou was still confined in her own yard, she didn't change because Shui Lingyue became a precious person, on the contrary, Qin Fangyi got a lot of rewards.

On the carved sandalwood chair, the old lady is sitting upright, her face is pale, her old eyes are swollen like walnuts, it can be seen that she cried for a long time last night, the old lady gave birth to three sons, the daughter is only Shui Chenxiang, and she is young, almost in her mouth She was afraid that her heart would melt, and that she would lose it when she held it in her hand. Whenever she thought of Shui Chenxiang being pregnant but going to stay in the cold palace, her heart would ache like a needle prick.

Beside the old lady is Shui Lingxi with gauze wrapped around her head. Shui Lingxi gently rubbed the old lady's arm while talking softly with the old lady. During the days when Shui Linglong was away, she saw every stitch and got enough She worked hard to curry favor with the old lady, in order to gain a filial reputation. Last night, when the bad news about Concubine Yu being demoted to the nobleman of water came to the Shangshu Mansion, the old lady passed out on the spot. She and Shui Minhui took care of the big lady. In the middle of the night, he returned to his yard tiredly.

Shui Linglong glanced at Shui Lingxi, her inquiring eyes stayed on the white gauze for a long time, before she saluted the old lady: "Linglong pays respects to grandma."

The old lady waved her hands and sighed wearily: "Sit down." But she didn't look at Shui Linglong carefully.

Shui Linglong went to the seat above Shui Lingyu and sat down, smiling and nodding with Aunt Feng who was opposite her. She took the antisensitivity medicine, and the red rash on her face faded a lot, there were still some, not obvious, so there was no wear a veil.

Shui Lingxi asked with concern: "Is the eldest sister's illness better? I heard that you woke up after the third princess brought you to Chongming Palace. In this way, there must be something in Guanju Palace that you are allergic to."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help being a little embarrassed. The matter of Shui Chenxiang had a great impact on the old lady. How did the master feel this early in the morning? , isn't the eldest lady afraid of touching the old lady's brow?

Shui Linglong looked at the old lady who closed her eyes and meditated, and then looked at Shui Lingxi who was smiling softly. She understood that Shui Lingxi had said what the old lady didn't say. Shui Linglong calmly said: "The previous Doctor Chen treated my illness as wind-cold, so I didn't get better. When I arrived at Chongming Palace, the third princess ordered someone to make a medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Zhang Yuan. I got better soon after drinking it. I don't know exactly what I'm allergic to." I don't know if saying this can dispel the old lady's doubts.

Shui Linglong smiled softly: "No matter what, I'm relieved that Eldest Sister is fine."

When she said this, Shui Lingxi felt a little sour in her heart. Her head was injured so badly that the third princess didn't even say to come and see her, but Shui Linglong was just a little bit cold and allergic. The three princesses all went to visit. I heard that Zhuge Xi even scolded Shui Guiren by accusing Sang Huai, blaming her for not taking good care of Shui Linglong. What does this mean?It shows that the husband's family values ​​Shui Linglong.Shui Lingxi withdrew the hand that was massaging the old lady, buried it in her wide sleeve, and clenched her fist involuntarily. Jealousy is admitting that she is inferior to others. She can't be jealous, absolutely can't!
Aunt Lan turned her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Fourth has received the grace of the emperor this time, it is really a blessing for our Shangshufu."

The old lady gave Aunt Lan a hard look, and Aunt Lan was startled, and immediately lowered her head.

Aunt Feng hurriedly changed the topic: "Xishan College starts in April, and the eldest and second young masters probably have to leave at the end of the month. In previous years, we have held classmate reunions for the two young masters. This year coincides with the two young ladies getting married. There are so many things to do, should we organize this class reunion or not?"

Mentioning the two grandsons, the old lady's face softened a little: "Of course it has to be done, Xuan Guogong's mansion, Dingyuanhou's mansion, Chen's family, Wu's family... Minhui is rushing to their classmate reunion these days, and today seems to be They went to Lu's house. Minyu's injury is about to recover, and he has to run all over the capital. If others do it, if we don't do it, won't it embarrass Minyu and Minhui?"

These words obviously compared the Shangshu Mansion with the families of those first-class dukes.

"Then we have to start preparing." Aunt Feng murmured with a sense of loss, "When we meet again, it will be the end of the year."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows suspiciously, Aunt Feng seemed a little depressed...

"That's the reason." Shui Lingxi's wedding is imminent, and Shui Linglong's later date will not exceed Xia Tian, ​​and counting the days, the prime minister's residence will come to mention Qin Zhixiao and Shui Lingyu's marriage soon, really... too busy Come!The old lady looked at Shui Lingxi, and wanted to ask "Your mother is in good health", but the words fell on her lips, before Min Hui got married, she had to hold this family firmly in her hands!
Shui Lingxi felt a sense of loss. Grandma had just revealed that she wanted her mother to be in charge of the house again, but why didn't she say it out loud?This year, the Shui Family is quite famous. There is a Crown Princess, a Crown Princess, and just now there is another precious person. There must be a lot of people who come to curry favor at the party. Preliminary estimates can double that of previous years. Grandma is already old. , are you busy?If something goes wrong, Shang Shufu's face will be lost, and even she, the crown princess, will be criticized.

The old lady tapped the table with her index finger, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired, you all step back, Linglong, make me a cup of scented tea."

This is something to say to Shui Linglong alone.Shui Lingxi took a look at Shui Linglong, and she suddenly found that no matter how much she restrained herself, she couldn't help being jealous of Shui Linglong, as if she had stepped on her feet in her previous life, and she wanted to be reborn in this life!How strange!
Everyone bowed to the old lady one by one and retreated. When Shui Lingqing and Shui Lingqing passed by, they hooked her fingers quietly. Shui Linglong understood. The old lady probably asked Shui Lingqing, but Shui Lingqing was confused , couldn't answer why, and the old lady didn't suspect anything.

The old lady went into the inner room, made a cup of chrysanthemum tea with Shui Linglong, added a teaspoon of honey: "Grandmother, please drink some tea."

The old lady took it in her hand, and then quietly looked at the girl in front of her. She was wearing a spring dress made of white apricot satin with a slanted skirt, a light blue moon skirt, and her black hair was tied in a bun. The two silver hairpins inlaid with pearls are not extravagant, but fresh and elegant. Compared with the overpowering Shui Lingxi, the intelligent and restrained Shui Linglong seems to be more likely to impress a man's heart.

Concentrating her thoughts, the old lady turned to the main topic: "What happened in the palace? Based on what I know about my daughter, she will not be narrow-minded enough to sell items in the palace."

The old lady tried her best to look at her with a calm gaze, but Shui Linglong still felt the slightest suspicion. As for whether she suspected that she joined Shui Lingyue to pull Shui Chenxiang off the horse, or simply suspected the incident itself, it was unknown.

Shui Linglong blessed the old lady, and replied respectfully: "Linglong really doesn't know, Linglong fell ill the second day after entering the palace, and was drowsy for several days. The third princess lived in Chongming Palace, with Mrs. Yao beside her. About half an hour later, the third princess came back and said that she had caught Xiao Dezi who planned to sneak out of the palace at the side door. Xiao Dezi confessed that his aunt ordered him to sell items in the palace. I asked the third princess what was sold, and the third princess said, "Left is just some valuable items. I want to ask more, but the other party is the princess. She doesn't want to answer, and I can't do anything. In the end, thanks to Yao Ma'am, she is the third princess's cousin, if she hadn't pulled the third princess along, the third princess would not have let me stay in her palace."

Shui Linglong is really glad that Zhuge Xi and the three princesses met at the gate of Guanju Palace, instead of one after the other.

The doubtful look in the old lady's eyes receded for a while, and soon came up again: "Did Prince Zhuge send you back home last night?"

Shui Linglong nodded: "Yes! Prince Zhuge was worried about Linglong's safety. After Mrs. Yao sent him the news, he began to wait at the gate of the palace."

The old lady was drinking tea, and looked at Shui Linglong's expression out of the corner of her eye: "Then do you know how the emperor fell in love with your fourth sister?"

"The emperor has his eyes on fourth younger sister..." Shui Linglong murmured to herself, thoughtfully, "I really don't know about it. She entered the palace for six days, except for the first day when she was awake, and the night she came back she was half-conscious. The rest of the time, I can't even hear people talking." After a pause, I suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered! After I woke up, Zhi Fan said that the fourth sister would go to the Imperial Garden every day, and it must be in the Imperial Garden that she ran into the emperor by chance. Bar!"

The old lady's eyes turned cold, this shameless little bitch!Sent her to the palace to accompany Concubine Yu to raise her baby, but she was so focused on currying favor with the emperor?
Shui Linglong didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the old lady: "Grandmother, excuse me for asking, did you send someone to mention Fourth Sister and Aunt Zhou's marriage to Governor Jiang?"

As soon as the words fell, the mystery that had troubled the old lady all night was suddenly solved. If Shui Lingyue accidentally learned about Governor Jiang's marriage and did not want to marry, it would not be so unreasonable if she tried her best to seduce the emperor in a hurry What's more, Shui Lingyue is indeed pretty, who can resist who she deliberately seduces?
Now, even if the old lady suspects that her daughter was framed by someone, she doesn't realize that Shui Linglong is behind the scenes. She even suspects that Shui Linglong is also a victim. Shui Linglong fell ill after eating messy things.The old lady threw the teacup on the table, and the tea came out cheap: "It really puts gold on my face! She can do such a thing as seducing my uncle! From now on, my Shui family... will not have a daughter like her!"

After getting angry, the old lady regained her composure, "Governor Jiang always wants to come. Now that Shui Lingyue has become a nobleman, Shui Lingyu and the prime minister's marriage has also been settled, and only the youngest Shui Lingqing is left."

Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched. Could it be that going around and going around still can't change Qing'er's bad luck of marrying a sixty-year-old official?After her rebirth, the fates of so many people have changed. Aunt Zhou, who had no children in her previous life, became pregnant. Zhi Xiao was tied together, and as for the fifth prince's side concubine, Shui Lingyue, who became the emperor's woman in this life, look, the earth-shaking changes!Qing'er's fate... can be changed!

"Old lady, Zhang Yuanjuan from the palace is here, saying that he is ordered by the third princess to come to treat the eldest lady." Mother Wang reported outside the door.

The old lady looked at Shui Linglong, smiled and said: "The third princess and you are on good terms." Her eyes flickered, and she said, "Last time in the Guo Mansion, I remember the third princess said that I have a good relationship with you, you child, Lovely."

"A good man will do his best to the end. The third princess has been taught by the empress, so she has no choice in how she behaves." This means that sending the imperial physician here is just a way to show her virtue.The old lady heard that it was more useful, and ordered Mama Wang to welcome Zhang Yuanpeng in person.

"Old madam." Zhang Yuanpeng came in and greeted her.

The old lady said politely: "Please take your seat quickly! I am really troublesome for Zhang Yuan's judgment. I came all the way to see the old granddaughter's medical treatment, jadeite, and serve tea."

Emerald gave Zhang Yuanpan the top-level rhyme, Zhang Yuanpan sat down and took the teacup, took a few sips symbolically, looked at Shui Linglong who had improved, and said with joy: "If you don't see a doctor, give up if you don't like it." For the same reason, Miss Shui's illness can be regarded as a difficult and miscellaneous disease, and the old man was still worried about whether the prescription he prescribed was right or wrong last night, even if the third princess didn't say anything, the old lady would come to visit in person."

Shui Linglong got up and bowed to Zhang Yuanpan: "Thank you Zhang Yuanpan! Thanks to your wonderful hand, Linglong has recovered a lot."

Zhang Yuanpan bowed his hands back and stroked the beard on his chin: "Old man, give Miss Shui a pulse again!"

"Thank you." Shui Linglong sat down, Fei Cui took a thin piece of silk and put it on Shui Linglong's wrist, and Zhang Yuan went to Shui Linglong's side to check her pulse carefully.

The old lady asked: "How? Will it leave scars?" Women value their appearance, especially if their granddaughter is going to marry into the Zhenbei Palace, if they leave scars on their faces, they will inevitably be laughed at.

Zhang Yuanshou withdrew his hand and smiled comfortably: "Take the medicine carefully, and there will be no scars if you don't scratch it with your hands."

The old lady let out a sigh of relief, and said to Shui Linglong: "But remember Zhang Yuan's order?"

Shui Linglong seemed very happy: "Remember!"

Judge Zhang asked Xiang Shui Linglong again, "Does Miss Shui feel any discomfort after taking the medicine?"

Shui Linglong answered truthfully: "I'm a little lethargic, and my appetite is not as good as usual."
