first princess

Chapter 57 Competing to calculate (3)
"Brother Zhi is two years old this year, so cute. Brother Tong is six months old and still doesn't stop much. Miss, don't be scared later." Xiaoqing said with a sweet smile, Shui Linglong couldn't help but pick Raising her eyebrows, a maid who can talk about the little master like this must have a high status. Shui Linglong looked at Xiaoqing carefully again, only to see that her eyebrows are picturesque, and she is naturally charming when talking and laughing.The fact that the Yao family is not happy to accept concubines does not mean that the masters have always had one woman in their lives. This maid named Xiaoqing should be Yao Kui's concubine.

Xiaoqing turned her head, and bumped into Shui Linglong's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her eyes: "You made Miss Shui laugh."

Shui Linglong pretended not to understand: "Oh? What am I joking about? It's normal for children to be naughty!" No matter whether Xiaoqing exposed the difference between her and ordinary maids intentionally or unintentionally, Shui Linglong was very concerned about the Yao family's family affairs. not interested!
Xiaoqing was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled mischievously: "Miss Shui's words are absolutely true."

The residences of Zhuge Xi and Feng Yanying were not far away, they were both in the Changfang area, and they arrived within a quarter of an hour without haste.

Shui Linglong followed Xiaoqing into the inner room, and Feng Yanying gave birth to a small face with almond eyes and willow eyebrows, a low nose bridge and slightly sharp nose tip, and small cherry lips with light color, which belonged to the Xiaojiabiyu type.The chest is abnormally plump, it should be breastfeeding by myself.The Yao family seems to have strict family rules, but they are more humane than other famous families. No wonder so many daughters want to marry into the Yao family. It is a pity that the Yao family does not produce many men and does not take concubines.

Feng Yanying was holding Brother Tong in her arms, and when she saw Xiaoqing leading an elegant young woman into the room, she quickly stood up and greeted her, and said with a warm smile: "Miss Shui, please sit down!"

Shui Linglong took out two pairs of small golden bells from her purse and handed them to Feng Yanying: "I came in a hurry, I didn't prepare a gift for the child, so the second young lady made do with it."

Feng Yanying widened her eyes and stopped Shui Linglong's hand: "Oh! How can you be so embarrassing? Those who have not left the cabinet are still children, how can children give gifts to children? Besides, what did your eldest sister give to Brother Zhi and Brother Tong? , I’m afraid I won’t be able to use it up when I grow up, I’m really not good at accepting you anymore!”

"Elder sister likes Brother Zhi and Brother Tong, and I like it too. Doesn't Second Young Mistress look down on the things I give you?"

"Where can't I look down on? Your kindness is really rare!" Feng Yanying couldn't insist any longer, and accepted it with a smile, and ordered someone to marry her dowry, and picked out a green feather peacock hairpin made by herself as a gift. After giving it to Shui Linglong, a flash of surprise flashed in Shui Linglong's eyes, and Feng Yanying smiled and said, "I'm free to do whatever I want, if Missy likes this craft, I'll teach you."

Diancui craftsmanship is much more unique than rouge formula!
Shui Linglong refused with a smile: "I'm clumsy, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it." Saying that, she looked at Brother Tong who was sleeping soundly in Feng Yanying's arms.

Feng Yanying smiled slightly: "Miss Shui, do you want to hug me?"

Shui Linglong blinked her bright eyes, looking forward to it, but shook her head: "I'm afraid I'll fall to Brother Tong, he's so small, how can I hug such a small child? What should I do if it hurts him? What do you do? Did you learn it?"

"Pfft--" Feng Yanying laughed, "It's a mother's nature to take care of children. When Miss Shui has her own child, she should be able to teach herself without a teacher."

Shui Linglong looked around with an expression of "So that's how it is", and asked again: "I didn't see Brother Zhi."

Feng Yanying raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, brother Zhi is asleep."

The older one fell asleep, the younger one fell asleep too, the older one was on the bed, and the younger one was in his arms.Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, the little one just slept?Shui Linglong lowered her eyes, her pupils moved, and she seemed to ask casually, "Is Tong Ge'er spitting up milk better?"

Feng Yanying touched her son's small face, her brows were full of love and happiness: "It's much better, I fed it once before going to bed, and I haven't vomited for half an hour."

Still in your arms for half an hour?Or did he show her to her when he found out about her in bed?Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows again.

Feng Yanying's eyes flashed, and she sighed slowly: "Brother Tong is sick, I really worry about it for a moment."

Xiaoqing offered Yunwu tea to Shui Linglong, and said with a smile: "Brother Tong kisses you, and Brother Zhi kisses the young lady! No wonder you love Brother Tong more!"

Feng Yanying shot Xiaoqing a look: "Look at what you said, it seems like I don't want to see Brother Zhi! It's all the meat that fell out of my stomach, but Brother Zhi is older, so he doesn't have to stick to me all the time, Brother Tong Still young!"

Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue, turned around and stood aside.

Feng Yanying looked at Shui Linglong again, "But Xiaoqing is right, Brother Zhi is indeed very close to sister-in-law, maybe I raised Brother Zhi in my sister-in-law's yard for a while when I was pregnant with Brother Tong, and now he doesn't see each other every day My sister-in-law will cry!"

While speaking, there was a soft crying sound from the inner room, it was Brother Zhi who woke up.

Not long after, the wet nurse brought out a little boy with tears all over his face. Brother Zhi was wearing a white jacket and trousers with blue borders. He looked exactly like Feng Yanying, with delicate features, not tall, but strong. With a pair of shiny black pupils, timidly, Shui Linglong smiled at him, but he still hid.

Feng Yanying handed Brother Tong to Xiaoqing, and took Zhige from the nurse's arms. Zhige hugged Feng Yanying's neck, which was very sticky. Feng Yanying coaxed: "Good boy, Zhige, come here!" , say hello to Miss Shui, okay?"

Zhige shook his head.

Feng Yanying's expression was a little uneasy, and she said with a sneer, "Miss Shui, don't mind, he just woke up and isn't very energetic."

She has nothing to do with this child, whether the child likes her or not has no influence on her, Feng Yanying thinks too much.Shui Linglong tucked her temple hair behind her ears: "It's fine."

Feng Yanying kissed her son's head, and asked softly: "I'm depressed, but miss your aunt?"

Brother Zhi was stunned, and nodded.

Feng Yanying said again: "Auntie is busy today, let's go find her another day, okay?"

Zhi Geer nodded again.

Shui Linglong felt that she was too vicious and frightened an innocent child, so that she didn't dare to leave his mother's embrace, she held her forehead: "Thank you for the hospitality of the second young lady, my grandmother and second sister were not feeling well and rested in the bed just now. I got out of the wing room, I must have woken up by now, I should go and have a look."

"Sit for a while longer!" Feng Yanying's eyes inadvertently showed a little disappointment. As for the disappointment, I don't know, Shui Linglong stood up, "No, thank you Second Young Mistress for your kindness."

Feng Yanying handed Brother Zhi to the wet nurse, but Brother Zhi didn't let go, and grabbed her by the hair. She smiled awkwardly, and hugged Brother Zhi again: "I must be bored here, but I don't know where my cousin is going." Go, if she is here, you two young girls will not feel bored talking and laughing."

Shui Linglong straightened her wide sleeves: "Perhaps Ling cousin went to see the church." Or maybe she went to see Yunli, but what does it matter?

"Perhaps!" Feng Yanying's crooked eyes flashed a bright light.

After leaving Feng Yanying's courtyard, Shui Linglong handed Zhi Fan the veil that she wiped off her sweat. After Zhi Fan connected it, she handed a new one: "Miss, I feel that Second Young Mistress is a bit strange."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"It's strange everywhere, but the slaves can't tell you the specifics."

Shui Linglong touched the corner of her lips lightly, and didn't say anything to Zhifan, because like Zhifan, she felt weird but couldn't tell what was weird.

A stage was set up in the open space to the west of Yao Mansion, and they were babbling and singing non-stop at this moment. They happened to pass through this open space from Feng Yanying's yard to the Yingbin Building. On the way, Shui Linglong and the three princesses who came to watch the play Unexpectedly, the third princess looked around, as if she was looking for someone, she saw Shui Linglong, and hurriedly beckoned, Shui Linglong walked over and bowed: "Third princess."

The third princess blinked her eyes and said, "Where did you go just now? I searched everywhere but couldn't find you!"

Shui Linglong jokingly said: "It turns out that the princess is looking for me, I thought the princess was looking for Guo Yan!"

The third princess pursed her pink lips: "He can't come today! There will be a doctor's event at the end of the month, and he and your father went to investigate the site!"

The medical grand meeting is held every five years, with the purpose of carrying forward the spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded. Famous doctors from all over the world will gather and compete for skills.In his memory, Xun Feng also participated in a medical event, but it didn't seem to be this time.Shui Linglong restrained her flying thoughts, and smiled kindly: "The construction of the venue and the arrangement of the grand event are all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Why did Guo Yan go to join in the fun?"

"Ha! You don't know this! Mobei will send envoys to visit Dazhou this year, and Guo Yan will be fully responsible for the reception task. Your father is the Minister of Rites, and Guo Yan will inevitably cooperate with him, so Guo Yan will start working with him from now on. Your father has established a good relationship!" Speaking of Guo Yan, the three princesses are always beaming!

It's not father-in-law and son-in-law, what's the relationship?No matter how good Shuihangge is, Guo Yan is the superior, isn't he just trying to curry favor?Shui Linglong didn't have much interest in this topic, so she took out a delicate red purse from her wide sleeve and handed it to the third princess: "I embroidered it with my own hands for the princess's birthday present, I don't know if it will catch the princess' eyes."

"Oh?" The third princess's eyes lit up, she took the purse in her hand, and looked over it over and over again. A pair of colorful phoenixes were embroidered on the purse with threads of various colors. , as if about to fly out, and more importantly, there are the names of the third princess and Guo Yan on the back of the purse. Here you go, since you know medical skills yourself, why do you want Zhang Yuan to go to the Shangshu Mansion to give you a follow-up consultation?"

And in this follow-up visit, Shui Linglong was fine, but it was diagnosed that Shui Lingxi may have sequelae!The queen mother thought of giving her eldest brother a side concubine. Could this... be a coincidence?The third princess frowned, she didn't like others to play tricks on her.

Shui Linglong put her hair from her temples behind her ears, and smiled elegantly on her fair jade face: "The medical skills I learned are not in the same field as those of imperial physicians. Let's put it this way, a person is seriously injured. I know how to nurse and rescue, but if someone catches typhoid fever, I can't do anything." These words are a bit exaggerated, but they are not too far off.

"What... what does this mean?" The third princess seemed to understand, but Shui Linglong's eyes did not seem to be lying. She tilted her head and stopped entangled in this topic. She politely refused, and took Zhi Fan to the Yingbin Tower, where Shui Lingxi was still in a coma, and the old lady had already woken up.

The old lady seemed to be ten years older in an instant. Lingxi's ugly behavior in public not only lost her face, but also since she lost the prince's favor, even if she got married in the future, the prince would have a lump in his heart.What could be more hopeless than being out of favor?
"Grandmother." Shui Linglong called out softly, and quickly glanced around, is Shui Lingqing there?Shui Linglong winks at Zhi Fan, Zhi Fan understands and quietly backs out.

The old lady raised her heavy eyelids and glanced at Shui Linglong. After a while, a voice so deep that it was reminiscent of a dead tree at the end of autumn slowly floated from her mouth: "Go and call Old Madam Yao. Hello, let's go home."

"Second sister is still awake..."

"What's the difference between waking up and not waking up? Anyway, it's a shame!"

"Okay, grandma, you rest, I'm going to say goodbye to Mrs. Yao now." After Shui Linglong said calmly, she turned and went to the Qingzhu courtyard. Mrs. Yao took the female relatives to attend the hall meeting. The house was much quieter. I heard that Princess Zhenbei didn't come, so she was only given a congratulatory gift. The daughter couldn't give birth to a child. What face does she have to rush out of her in-law's mansion?

Shui Linglong stepped into the Qingzhu Courtyard again, and the service attitude of the servants has been upgraded to a higher level. Mother Fang greeted her in person, with a smile on her face: "Miss Shui, can you rest now? It's due to the negligence of the maidservant, she should send someone to see her off." Let the soft sedan go, let you go by yourself, I'm sorry!"

Shui Linglong smiled politely: "What did Fang's mother say? After resting too much, I want to walk around. This is also good for the body."

At the door, Mother Fang opened the curtain, Shui Linglong walked into the room, Mrs. Yao happily waved to Shui Linglong, Shui Linglong saluted respectfully, and just walked to Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao pulled her over With Shui Linglong's hand, she said: "I will stay in Yao's mansion today and be a companion to the third princess, okay? Let me see, she and Xin'er are cousins, but their relationship is not as close as you are .”

That's because we've "colluded together" together.Shui Linglong pressed the center of her eyebrows and smiled gently: "I'm here to say goodbye to you. My father is away and my mother is ill. Grandma and us can't leave the whole family alone anyway. Please forgive me, old lady."

Mrs. Yao guessed what the old lady meant when she heard this, and she woke up, but she didn't dare to come out because of Shui Lingxi's matter, so she sent her granddaughter to run errands, so an upstart is an upstart , it is difficult to be elegant with the title of Mrs. Gao Ming!Of course, she really likes Shui Linglong: "If that's the case, I won't keep you guys. I asked Mother Fang to prepare some small gifts, and your sisters have them. I can see that your two little sisters are also very pretty." , if you need anything, just speak to me."

Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched. What does Mrs. Yao mean...willing to worry about Shui Lingyu and Shui Lingqing's marriage?For example, find a decent partner for the two of them?But which object can surpass Governor Jiang in the background, so that Shui Hangge and the old lady can change their minds?Shui Linglong thought about it for a while, and smiled modestly and politely: "Well, Linglong remembers what the old matriarch said, and if she is in trouble in the future, she will definitely ask the old matriarch for help."

After listening to Shui Linglong's answer, Mrs. Yao smiled even more. She hated those people who clearly wanted it but pretended to refuse it, making it seem like she was stalking others!Mrs. Yao looked at the pale Shui Linglong: "Are you tired today? Something happened to your grandmother and second sister, and you are the only one busy with everything."

Shui Linglong smiled and shook her head.

"What a sensible child!" Mrs. Yao patted Shui Linglong's hand, and she didn't know what to think, and a layer of sadness gradually appeared on her face, "You have to come around the house more often, and help me persuade Your eldest sister."

Advise Zhuge Xi?What do you advise?
Shui Linglong wanted to ask, but Mrs. Yao obviously had no intention of opening her mouth. She got up and bowed to the other party, and left the Qingzhu Courtyard with Mother Fang's respectful escort.Shui Linglong went to Zhuge Xi's yard again and took away Shui Lingyu who had just woken up. She wanted to talk to Zhuge Xi, but Zhuge Xi was very busy at the concert, so Shui Linglong had to chat with her in a hurry. call.

At the second entrance, the old lady, Shui Lingxi, and Shui Lingqing waited for Shui Linglong for a long time. Shui Lingxi cried until her eyes were swollen. After she woke up, she found out from the servants how ugly she was. She can twitch like a madman, foam at the mouth, and lose control of her urine... The worst thing is, she bit the prince!
Growing up so big has never been so embarrassing!
What will people in the capital think of her in the future?What would the crown prince think of her?

The old lady gave Shui Lingxi a hard look, the useless things have completely embarrassed Shang Shufu!

Shui Lingqing lowered her head and didn't say a word. When Zhi Fan found her, she was sitting in a gazebo, dumbfounded, she didn't know what she saw, her whole face was red!
Mother Fang ordered someone to load boxes of presents into the carriage, bowed to the masters, and was about to follow the Yao family's carriage to the Shangshu Mansion when Chu Yun, the prince's chief, came.Chu Yun blessed the old lady and said: "His Royal Highness has prepared carriages for the nobles." There are four carriages in total, one for the old lady, one for Shui Lingxi, one for Shui Lingyu, one for Shui Linglong and one for Shui Lingqing.

The brilliance in Shui Lingxi's eyes reunited, and she knew that the prince had her in his heart!
The carriage prepared by the prince was naturally extremely luxurious and comfortable. The simple couch was covered with thick mattresses, all filled with top-quality silk, with pure cotton inside and satin outside, which felt slightly cool to the touch, soft and delicate.Shui Linglong was tired all afternoon, she was so sleepy, she fell down on the couch and fell into a deep sleep, it was really...comfortable!
