first princess

Chapter 58 Competing to calculate (4)
However, after Shui Linglong left Old Madam Yao's room, Yun Li came out from the side room, with a slight smile flashing in his eyes, which was quite different from his usual polite smile. seen.Old Madam Yao pulled Yun Li to sit beside her, squinted her eyes and smiled: "The prince is looking for Linglong, right?"

Yun Li smiled and didn't answer, not because he didn't want to answer, but because it was pointless to answer.

Mrs. Yao sighed regretfully. She really wanted to bring Yao Xin and Yun Li together. With the background of the Yao family, even if Yao Xin temporarily resigned to the position of side concubine, she will give birth to a royal heir in the future, with the support of Queen Yao. It's not that it can't fall on her head!Pian Yunli fell in love with Shui Linglong, a woman who was engaged to the prince of Zhenbei.Not to mention Zhuge Yu's reputation, the title of King of the North and the Kashgar Qing clan behind it are enough to make everyone in the capital fearful.Rob... The master is unknown!

The old lady Yao said earnestly: "Prince, what happened to Shui Lingxi, based on what I know about my daughter, Shui Lingxi will definitely not be able to be the crown princess. The other two ladies of the Shui family are not suitable candidates. You You should have planned for yourself earlier!"

Anyway, it's not Shui Linglong, it doesn't matter who she marries?Yun Li's smile became bitter bit by bit: "All you need to do is listen to the arrangements of the emperor and the empress!"

Old Madam Yao's lips parted, hesitant to speak, it seems that it is very necessary for her to enter the palace!
Tonight, a lot happened!
The first thing that happened was that Qin Fangyi fainted!

The second thing is that the prime minister's mansion regretted the marriage!

The third thing, Shui Lingyu also fainted!

The Shangshu Mansion was in chaos, and the old lady suffered severe physical and mental injuries, and finally couldn't stand it any longer, and contracted the wind and cold.

After Zhao's mother learned the ins and outs of the matter, she was so regretful that her intestines turned green!That day, people from the Yao Mansion sent invitations, and she heard the woman driving the car say that the Empress was going to give the Prince a side concubine. She hesitated again and again, not sure whether the news was reliable, and even if it was true, the Master and Madam were unable to reply. God, if she speaks out, it will only increase her troubles, so she is bored in her stomach.Who knew that the second young lady suffered from such sequelae, and when she heard the news, she became ill on the spot due to overstimulation!If she said it earlier, Second Miss would have fallen ill in the mansion earlier, Madam would not let Second Miss go to the banquet no matter what, it would be embarrassing!

Mother Zhao slapped herself hard!But the matter has come to this point, no matter how regretful she is, she can't reveal anything, otherwise, she will make a big mistake if she doesn't report it, and Madam will kill her!
That night, Shui Minyu doted on a maid, and finally gave it away for the first time with a woman.

In Lingxiang Courtyard, Shui Linglong took a hot bath and felt completely drowsy. She didn't think about Shui Lingxi and Yunli any more. She found a piece of black charcoal from the kitchen, cut it into the size of a little finger, and began to draw on paper. She wanted to draw a set of scalpels, but her pen skills were too poor, and she was still not satisfactory after half an hour of drawing.

"What are you painting? The frowning one?" When Zhuge Yu leaped in through the window, he saw Shui Linglong's palm-sized face wrinkled into a ball, scribbling something with a piece of black charcoal in her slender pale hand, but she seemed to be out of control, with a terrified expression. is dissatisfaction.

Shui Linglong was taken aback. After being reborn, her five senses were obviously different from ordinary people, but she couldn't find Zhuge Yu in advance. This is really annoying!
Shui Linglong threw away the charcoal pencil in her hand, and sat down on the chair as if discouraged: "Why are you looking for me so late?"

Zhuge Yu approached her, stretched out his hand and pinched her little nose: "It's already ugly! If you frown again, you'll look like an old woman!"

Shui Linglong opened his evil claws: "That's good, you're disgusting!"

Zhuge Yu pretended to be annoyed, and knocked on her forehead, but did not use force, but hit an acupuncture point, Shui Linglong's drowsy head suddenly relaxed a lot: "Oh, you know how to massage! I underestimated you, Zhuge Yu .”

Zhuge Yu leaned over to get closer to her, his obsidian-like bright eyes narrowed into two beautiful crescent moons: "He always smiles at others, but keeps a cold face at me, it really treats me very special!"

Shui Linglong picked up a book and patted him: "Stay away from me!" This guy's skin is getting thicker and thicker!

Zhuge Yu knew that she was not used to getting too close to people, so she didn't get serious about this issue, but gave her a bottle of elixir: "Once a day, it helps to control the disease and reduce the number of attacks."

"Seizure?" Shui Linglong took it, a hint of confusion flashed in her quiet eyes, "Is this... medicine for epilepsy?"

Zhuge Yu nodded: "The medicine is given to you. As for whether you destroy it or let Shui Lingxi eat it, the choice is yours. I assure you, even Zhang Yuanju can't get such a good medicine."

Shui Linglong is more comfortable hearing these words. If Zhuge Yu came all the way to deliver medicine for Shui Lingxi, she would probably be so angry that he would be kicked out, but it seems that he wanted to give her a chance to make decisions .Moreover, since he knew that Shui Lingxi was ill, he also knew that she treated Yun Li's injury, so he didn't say anything!Shui Linglong put the medicine in the drawer, and poured a cup of hot tea for Zhuge Yu with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard!"

"True power!" Zhuge Yu snorted, took the teacup, and drank it slowly. He drank the tea gracefully, holding the teacup lightly with jade knuckles, and his rosy lips parted slightly, like a picture. In the Xiushui Danqing drawn by the master, Shui Linglong's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes lowered.

Zhuge Yu drank a few sips, and suddenly laughed out loud: "According to me, Guo Yan is taking a bad breath for you this time."

Shui Linglong turned her head: "Guo Yan? What do you mean?"

Zhuge Yu looked surprised: "Don't you know that Shui Lingxi's head was injured by Guo Yan?"

It turned out to be him?No wonder Yun Li came to visit Shui Lingxi at the Shangshu Mansion that night. It is true that the visit was fake, but it was true to help Guo Yan afterward. Lose office.

When Zhuge Yu said this, he kept looking at Shui Linglong's expression from the corner of his eye. Seeing her calm and magnanimous, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Last time he had a big fight with Guo Yan, the drunk Guo Yan actually said There are countless preferences and taboos of Shui Linglong, which makes him have to think twice.But he used his men's strength to find out all the things that Guo Yan could find from birth to the present, and he didn't see any trace of Guo Yan's relationship with Shui Linglong. What's going on?
After drinking the tea, Zhuge Yu put the cup away, picked up the charcoal pencil that Shui Linglong had thrown aside, "What do you want to draw? I will draw it for you."

Shui Linglong's eyes lit up, and she laughed tremblingly: "Oh, why are you bothering my son?" Even so, she spread a new sheet of paper very quickly.

Zhuge Yu couldn't help laughing, and drew a set of strangely shaped...hidden weapons according to the specifications she described verbally?
The three princesses lived in Yao's mansion that night, and Mrs. Li and Li Cai'er stayed with them. However, just as Mrs. Yao expected, the prince did not stay in the mansion for long, and returned to the palace at night to report to the emperor and empress. understand this matter.

Recently, the newly-promoted and precious person has been favored quite a lot. The emperor called for luck for seven days in a row, and he has been envious of a group of lonely concubines.That night, the Seventh Prince was unwell, so the emperor left Shui Lingyue and went to the Queen's Weiyang Palace.

Shui Lingyue stood beside the Taiye Pool, depressed, she was used to sleeping next to the emperor every night, suddenly she was alone, her heart was empty.Moreover, there are many high-ranking concubines in the palace, and she has to pay respects to all kinds of people every day, which is much more tiring than in Shangshufu.She thought that a woman who became the emperor would be able to stand above others, but who would have thought that the life in the palace was completely different from what she had imagined!In the mansion, even though she was afraid of Shui Lingxi, she occasionally played tricks with him; in the palace, if she dared to disrespect a high-ranking concubine, she would end up in a cold palace!Recently, the empress is busy rectifying the palace. She saw with her own eyes the eunuchs, maids, and concubines who were selling items in the palace were beaten to death, and even Ling Chi. She felt as if she had fallen into a dark icehouse, and no one could save her from now on. Get out of the sea of ​​suffering!
why?
Why does she have to endure such humiliation?
Shui Lingxi and Shui Linglong, one is the princess concubine and the other is the world concubine, why can they be regular wives, but she is a concubine?

"His Royal Highness!" When Shui Lingyue fell into deep thought, she heard the little maid behind her greet Yun Li, she hurriedly turned sideways, and saluted, "His Royal Highness!"

Yun Li responded lightly, and walked towards Weiyang Palace with strides. When Shui Lingyue passed by, Shui Lingyue's mind flashed, and she stopped him: "Your Highness! Take a step to speak!"

The next day, Ye Mao was helping Shui Linglong to wash up, and Zhong's mother was arranging the gifts from Mrs. Yao, and she was amazed again and again: "The Yao family is really rich, and this jewelry box is inlaid with gold."

Shui Linglong smiled, but did not speak.

Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in, and took Mama Zhong's words with a smile: "It's true that the Yao family is rich, and it's true that they treat our young lady extraordinarily! The things of the other young ladies are not as good as the eldest lady's!"

Mother Zhong said: "Miss saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the old lady Yao must show something." When she returned to her room yesterday, Zhifan recounted the key points of what happened in Yao's mansion, so she said that there are evils and evils Wow!
Shui Linglong chose a white magnolia hairpin and put it on: "How is the old lady?"

"I asked the doctor to take a look at it yesterday. It's a bit cold, but it's not a serious problem. It's the third lady..." Zhi Fan paused at this point. Except for her, no one else in the room knew that Shui Lingyu was pregnant. , she wasn't sure whether she should speak out in front of so many people, but seeing that Shui Linglong didn't intend to be avoided, she said, "Miss San is pregnant, I'm afraid it's..."

As soon as these words came out, Mother Zhong and Ye Mao were both startled, their fetuses moved?So Miss San is pregnant?Thinking of the rumors circulating privately in the mansion, that Young Master Biao stayed with Miss San in Yan Lanxuan all afternoon, could it be that the two had a relationship?
Shui Linglong pulled out the pure white magnolia flower hairpin and replaced it with a gorgeous ruby-encrusted nobile, saying: "Since you have a fetal gas, then send someone to inform grandma!"

The Prime Minister's Mansion originally promised to give Shangshu's Mansion a satisfactory explanation: that is, to marry Shui Lingyu as his wife. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Shui Chenxiang and Shui Lingxi suffered bad luck one after another. That's why they sent someone to withdraw their marriage with Shui Lingyu overnight, saying that they were withdrawing, but in fact they hoped that the Shangshufu would bow their heads and allow Shui Lingyu to be Qin Zhixiao's concubine.

When Shui Lingyu knelt down and begged her to fulfill her infatuation with Qin Zhixiao, she told her the feasibility and risk of this method, but the other party insisted on flying moths to the flame, so what could she say?
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Zhong's mother nodded: "Slaves, let's talk about it!" When something like this happened, the old lady would inevitably get angry, and a few young maids might not be able to bear it. She is old, and the old lady should be a little nervous. sense of proportion.

Zhi Fan and Ye Mao looked at Mother Zhong gratefully, and Shui Linglong said again: "Okay, I should go visit Mother and Second Sister."

In Changlexuan, Shui Lingxi fell ill again. The reason was that Shui Minyu scolded her severely when she learned about it. This attack frightened both Qin Fangyi and Shui Minyu. A woman No matter how beautiful the country is, if she suffers from this disease, who would dare to want her?Qin Fangyi was so angry that she told Shui Minyu to roll back to his yard, while she stood by her daughter's bedside and burst into tears.

She admits that she has done many wrong things in her life, such as killing Aunt Tong's first child, but blaming Aunt Feng, making the two of them turn against each other; For example, she buried musk in Aunt Lan's yard, so that she has not been able to conceive a child until now, and maybe she will never be able to conceive a child again...

She was the one who was wrong, and she was the one who should be punished, but why did God bring retribution to Shui Lingxi?No, it wasn't God's retribution, it was Guo Yan who harmed Lingxi!

She wiped away her tears, stood up and walked to the desk, took a pen and wrote a letter, stating that her brother Qin Che personally signed it.This marriage was ordered by the emperor, even if the empress wants to go back on her word, she has to ask the emperor whether she agrees or not!
"Ma'am, Missy is here." Shi Qing reported at the door.

"Let her go!"

"The eldest lady said she came to deliver medicine to the second lady."

Qin Fangyi shook her plain hand, and the sharpness in her eyes flashed: "Please come in."

Shui Linglong stepped into the room. She was wearing a white spring dress with two breasts and a lake blue floor-length skirt with a golden silk sash hanging from her waist. Her lotus steps moved lightly, like a thread of blue sky and white clouds. A ray of clear light illuminates the whole room, and she is the scorching sun.

Qin Fangyi's eyes...slightly hurt!When did Shui Linglong become so beautiful?

Shui Linglong bowed her knees and blessed her body: "Linglong pays respects to mother, best wishes to mother."

blessing?The son has the habit of Longyang, and the daughter has become such a ghost again, where did she get the blessing?She was sitting upright, pointing to the embroidered stool beside her: "Sit down."

"Thank you, mother." Shui Linglong sat down as she said, full of energy and aura. On the other hand, Shui Lingxi, who was unconscious, had extremely beautiful facial features, but she was like a candle in the wind, losing that vitality...Qin Fangyi's heart fell again. It was a pain, and Shui Linglong's soft voice sounded: "Why is the second sister in a coma again? Could it be... that she has fallen ill again?"

Ask knowingly!Qin Fangyi was trembling with anger, but said disdainfully: "I heard that you are here to deliver medicine to your second sister. Even the doctor can't do anything about this disease. What good medicine do you have?"

Shui Linglong said unhurriedly: "It was sent by Zhuge Shizi. The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has a doctor brought by him from the clan, and he knows some prescriptions that the doctors in the capital are not familiar with."

Saying this is also a warning to Qin Fangyi, don't try to tamper with the medicine, because you will not slander me, but Zhenbei Wangfu.

Qin Fangyi half-believingly took a small blue and white porcelain bottle from Shui Linglong's hand. Shui Linglong glanced at Qin Fangyi's hand and said slowly: "This disease cannot be cured, it can only be controlled by medicine. Once a day, this bottle It is a one-month dose. Moreover, this medicine is a unique secret recipe of the Zhenbei Palace, and the Tai Hospital, or other doctors in Kashiqing, cannot make it."

Qin Fangyi frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Shui Linglong glanced around the room, lingering for a while on a letter that had just been written on the desk, then looked at Qin Fangyi, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think that the second sister's injury is the same as that of my father's." future is more important than anything else.”

This girl!He was clearly threatening her!
That's right, she is indeed determined to bring Guo Yan to justice. In this way, Shui Lingxi is a complete victim. The royal anger needs a breakthrough, as long as they take all their anger on Guo Yan Therefore, there is still hope for Shui Lingxi and the Prince's marriage!But the hateful Shui Linglong!She even threatened her with medicine!She's just a bitch from a concubine, how dare she talk to her in such a tone and position? !
"Mother, you don't need to rush to make a decision. You can let the second sister try it for a while, or ask another doctor to prescribe a prescription. If you can find a better medicine than this, Guo Yan, feel free to sue! But I reminded my mother one last time, whether it is good to hit a stone with an egg or a jade with a stone, Guo Yan will still be a princess consort if he loses his official position. Unless the second sister dies, Guo Yan will probably kill her, but I think, mother, you should not In order to punish Guo Yan, the second sister will be sent to hell." Shui Linglong stood up and bowed, "Mother, rest well, don't work too hard, you know, besides your daughter, you also have a son!"

Qin Fangyi's heart trembled suddenly, and every word Shui Linglong said hit her heart like a hammer. Is it important for her daughter's health, or to fight Guo Yan to the end to pursue that slim hope?Or, the daughter has lost all hope, so does the son also want to join in?

Shui Linglong also couldn't explain why she had to help Guo Yan with her aftermath. Maybe it was because she was grateful to Guo Yan for accidentally hurting Shui Lingxi, maybe it was because she was grateful to him for catching her in the mud pond, or maybe it was because she was paying back the favor of the third princess... maybe even Shui Linglong didn't realize it herself, she just wanted to protect Guo Yan, just like protecting Qing'er, for this reason, she gave up the pleasure of watching Shui Lingxi suffering frequent attacks of illness, subconsciously she felt that keeping Guo Yan, Seems more important than revenge...!

After leaving the Changle Pavilion, Shui Linglong walked towards the Fushouyuan. The old lady fell ill, and the miscellaneous things in the house always need someone to deal with, so it's good for her to help.
