first princess

Chapter 78 The Art of Separation (2)
Mrs. Yao said, "Bing Bing, you are a smart person. There are some things I can't hide from you. I simply opened the skylight and said the truth. The prince likes Linglong. You don't have to be surprised. After all, Linglong is so good. This lonely old woman also likes it very much. After getting married, you will be the prince's first wife, but the grandmother advises you that it is useless to have a status in the royal family, and you must have the prince's favor, so you must work hard to let her The prince forgot about Shui Linglong, in this way, the prince may fall in love with you..."

In the world, only my own mother is the one who thinks most about herself.

With this thought in mind, Bingbing put down the curtain, suppressed the soreness in her heart, and waited quietly for the prince.

The prince and Bingbing's big wedding was very grand, the whole capital was hung with red, and a banquet was set up, from the family members to the common people, and even the beggars on the street were full of delicious food for a day.

At the same time, in order to celebrate the prince's marriage, the emperor pardoned the world, changed all the prisoners on death row to life imprisonment, and sealed off the harem. As Ji Zhaoyi of the third rank, Shui Lingyue had an appointed heir who became a precious concubine of the fifth rank, and Shang Shufu also received a lot of rewards for this.

The warm wind is warm and the sun is shining brightly. In the pavilion in the garden, Shui Linglong is teaching Shui Lingqing how to embroider. Shui Lingyu silently drinks the tea in her hand and chats and jokes from time to time. The color moon flower skirt, no complicated accessories around her body, her hair is only combed in a simple snail bun, with a silver calla lily hairpin and an emerald flower tin. Now she is obviously depressed.

She looked at Shui Linglong, who was once the most downcast but now the most beautiful person, and squeezed out a flattering smile: "The elder sister's embroidery is really good, even the fourth younger sister, oh, the concubine Zhen may not be able to compare .”

Shui Linglong smiled lightly: "Third Sister has won the prize."

Shui Lingqing blinked her innocent eyes and asked, "It's strange, it's been two months since Concubine Zhen entered the palace, why hasn't there been any good news yet?"

Shui Linglong took a deep look at Shui Lingqing, it's okay to ask such words from other people, but Shui Lingqing seems to be a little confused, when will she know about pregnancy and childbirth?Or, when did she start paying attention to the news in this regard?

Shui Lingqing lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Shui Lingyu picked up a piece of pastry with two fingers, and said with a smile, "It's not easy to get pregnant. Our aunt has been with my father for more than ten years, and she gave birth to me and you."

Shui Lingqing chased after her: "That's because father doesn't come to my aunt's room very often, but doesn't the Lord Long Live dote on Concubine Zhen very much?"

Shui Linglong looked at Shui Lingqing, the confusion in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Shui Lingyu was stunned: "This... I don't know very well, but it doesn't matter whether she is born or not, anyway, the child of Mrs. Shui will be adopted under her name."

Shui Lingqing tilted her head: "Then what if you don't survive?"

Shui Lingyu's face turned pale, if this word spread to Fushouyuan, the old lady would chop Shui Lingqing up?

"Qing'er, you talk too much today." Shui Linglong said without anger and prestige, Shui Lingqing shrank her neck, lowered her head resentfully and continued to embroider, after a while, she couldn't help raising her head again, and said with a smile, " Sister, the candied date cake you gave me last time was delicious."

Shui Linglong pushed a plate of cakes to Shui Lingqing, "Candied date cake."

Shui Lingqing was taken aback for a moment, then blinked, her voice was almost inaudible: "This taste is not good."

That's natural, how can the cooks in Shangshu's Mansion compare with those in Yao's Mansion?Shui Linglong patted Shui Lingqing's little head: "The next time I go to the Zhenbei Palace, I'll bring you some from the Palace."

"Oh, thank you big sister." Not very happy!

Shui Linglong didn't take it to heart, Qing'er is just a child, and it's only natural for children to love delicious food, isn't it?
Shui Lingqing rubbed her skirt and said softly: "Eldest sister, my eldest brother-in-law has not come recently, do you...do you miss him?"

Shui Linglong blurted out: "I don't really think about it."

Why does the eldest sister not want the eldest brother-in-law?She is... Shui Lingqing continued rubbing her skirt, no one could clearly see the expression on her face.

At this time, Liu Lu came over: "Miss, Governor Jiang is here, and he is talking with the Eldest Master in the flower hall, and the Eldest Madam is also here."

Shui Lingqing's hand trembled, almost stabbing herself, she leaned into Shui Linglong's arms: "Elder sister...Elder sister...I don't want to marry Governor Jiang...I..."

Shui Linglong wrapped her hands around the back of her neck, touched her pink face and said, "It's just a conversation, don't worry."

Shui Lingyu looked at the two cuddling each other, her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

Zhi Fan seemed to be very curious and asked: "What does Governor Jiang look like?"

Several confidant maids in a small area knew that Governor Jiang wanted to marry Shang Shufu.

Liu Lu took a look at Shui Linglong's face, and replied with a smile: "It is said that he is 60 years old, but he looks like he is in his early forties. His spirit is similar to our master's, and his figure is very burly, like someone who has practiced martial arts. He looks a little dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, no beard, and looks very clean, I heard him speak, like an ancient clock, very resounding!"

Zhifan smiled as he divided the thread in his hand: "That's pretty handsome?"

Liu Lu thought for a while, then nodded: "Stand inside the official, it's definitely outstanding!"

Shui Linglong took a bite of the candied date cake, and the taste was really mediocre, she put it on the plate again, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, Zhi Fan put away the used handkerchief sharply, and quickly offered a new one, water Linglong said: "Governor Jiang is not an ordinary bureaucrat. He can sit in this position today. Although he is honored by the queen, he mostly relies on his own strength. In the early years, there were a lot of remnants of the previous dynasty in the south. What kind of white lotus did he do?" The Sect used babies and girls as sacrifices to seek the blessings of God, but in the name of obeying the will of God, it stirred up the whole south into a miasma. He went straight to Huanglong and rescued countless innocent babies and girls, speaking of which, he is also a man of the hour."

Governor Jiang... so powerful?Shui Lingyu took a sip of tea, since that's the case, it wouldn't be wrong for Shui Lingqing to marry her...

Zhi Fan actually didn't understand the purpose of the eldest lady deliberately lobbying Governor Jiang. Could it be that the eldest lady really hoped that Fifth Miss would marry him willingly?If this is the case, what happened to the things that the eldest lady asked her to send?

In the flower hall, Governor Jiang and Shui Hangge sat at the main seats, and Qin Fangyi virtuously stood beside Shui Hangge, serving tea to him.

The appearance of Governor Jiang is exactly as Liu Lu said, young and unrestrained, full of the vitality and masculinity of a martial arts practitioner, he said with a hearty smile: "The scenery of the Shangshu Mansion is really good. It has the exquisiteness of the south of the Yangtze River. , and the luxury of the capital, I have traveled all over my life, and I have never seen a mansion with such good Fengshui, no wonder so many golden phoenixes fly out of your mansion!"

Golden Phoenix?My sister stepped down, my daughter got sick, and the real Golden Phoenix came from my second brother's home. I don't know if Governor Jiang really didn't understand the undercurrents, or he was deliberately beating him.Shui Hangge showed an official smile: "Where is there? Zuo just dug some lakes stupidly, which is not considered a geomantic treasure. In my opinion, the Governor's Mansion is the place where talents come out in large numbers! My son once became the second place in the imperial examination, and I am really envious !"

It is about Jiang Bihuai, the youngest son of Governor Jiang's wife, who is only eighteen years old. He is talented and hard-working. Many people can't pass the exam in their lifetime. He became the second place in the top three in the first year.

Governor Jiang's eyes were full of satisfaction and pride: "Luck, it's all luck! Your son is worth a fortune to be admitted to Xishan College!"

The two brothers Shui Minyu and Jiang Bihuai are completely incomparable!Shui Hangge became more and more inferior.

Qin Fangyi hurriedly changed the topic: "Governor Jiang came from a long way, but the journey was hard?"

Governor Jiang's pupils moved, and he said beamingly, "I'm happy in my heart, so what's the exhaustion along the way?"

Finally got to the point.

Qin Fangyi smiled gently: "I have this daughter in my heart. If it weren't for Governor Jiang, who is so powerful and handsome, I would not be willing to let her marry me if I were someone else!"

Governor Jiang was slightly taken aback. Could it be that she knew who she was asking to marry?Thinking of the anonymous painting, Governor Jiang looked at Qin Fangyi, who was smiling sweetly, and at Shui Hangge, who had a slightly unnatural expression, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.He cupped his hands, with a smile in his eyes: "Thanks to the love of both of you, after I marry Ling Qianjin, I will love you in every possible way! My parents have passed away, and the first three sons have married and separated from the house. The younger son stays in the house all year round. The academy basically won't return, so I don't have to suffer from the screw-up when the daughter is married. As for the betrothal gift, it will definitely not be less than the betrothal gift given by the prince!"

The Crown Prince and Zhuge Yu hired the Shangshu Mansion at the same time, the quantity was almost the same, but the quality was quite different. Even so, the gift from the Crown Prince was considered very rich!Qin Fangyi, a money fan, didn't understand Governor Jiang's implication, and only secretly praised Governor Jiang for his great handiwork. It was really embarrassing for Shui Lingqing, but Shui Hangge took a weak breath. Why did Governor Jiang compare with the prince?
Qin Fangyi said angrily: "Oh, look at what the governor said, it is a blessing for my daughter to marry you!"

The mother-in-law looks more and more pleasing to her son-in-law!Governor Jiang's eyes narrowed into a line: "Since this is the case, there is no need for any Geng Tie. Let's exchange letters of appointment!"

Shui Hangge frowned, could he be too eager?

Qin Fangyi hurriedly told Mother Zhao to take out the pen and paper. Unexpectedly, when she saw the name on Governor Jiang's letter of appointment, she immediately yelled out: "Governor Jiang! You made a mistake! It's not my daughter who is going to promise you! It's..."

Governor Jiang's face suddenly darkened: "It's not your daughter, Mrs. Shui, what do you mean? You just kept talking about your daughter. Could it be that I was fooled?"

Qin Fangyi's soul was almost lost: "I promised you the fifth daughter, not the second daughter! My second daughter is a legitimate daughter, the only granddaughter of the old prime minister! She...she...how can she be a house fill?"

Governor Jiang's eyes turned cold, and he threw the pen on the table. The domineering spirit he had cultivated in the officialdom and the battlefield for many years slowly radiated from his brows: "Oh, you mean that I am not good enough for Shui Lingxi? Joke! Shui Ling Xi is the one who was divorced by the crown prince. Ask the whole capital, even Da Zhou, who would dare to marry her? If I wasn’t the queen’s cousin, I wouldn’t have the guts to ask for a woman the crown prince liked! Is she beautiful? And she suffers from such a strange disease! Do you really think you are still the original concubine? Hmph! Whether you want to marry or not, I, Jiang Hai, are not so easy to fool! It’s just her, if it’s someone else, the marriage will not work out !"

This is true. Women who have had a relationship with the prince are basically unable to marry. Even if they can marry, the other party is definitely an ordinary person. How can there be a strong background like Governor Jiang?He is not inferior to the old prime minister!Shuihangge fell into silence...

Qin Fangyi, who originally regarded all concubine daughters as stepping stones for Shui Lingxi and Shui Minyu, suddenly discovered that everyone, including Shui Lingxi, was a stepping stone for Shui Hangge to climb up...Qin Fangyi suddenly changed color: "Mr.

No, you can't marry Lingxi to Governor Jiang, that's her only daughter...

In the afternoon of that day, Qin Fangyi took Shui Lingxi to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for three full days before returning to Shui's house, which was sent back by the old Prime Minister himself.

The old prime minister had a fierce dispute with Shui Hangge in the flower hall. No one knew the details, but the old prime minister's face was green when he left Shangshu's mansion. It is conceivable how angry he was inside.

Soon, rumors about the discord between the old prime minister and Shui Hangge spread, and people outside speculated about why the Weng and son-in-law were arguing, but Shui Hangge ordered the people in the house to die. When the governor proposes a marriage, he chops up and feeds it to the dogs, so no one dares to leak the news.

Apart from--
Shui Linglong is reading the script again, which tells the story of the filial son Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies. In fact, she still thinks that Xun Feng's "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Three Kingdoms" are wonderful.She turned a page and asked without raising her head, "Did the letter hand over to the Crown Princess?"

Zhifan nodded: "Yes."

In fact, she didn't understand why the eldest lady didn't stop the eldest lady from going out of the house to ask for help from the old prime minister, and she didn't understand why the eldest lady actually told the crown princess about this. Could it be that she was not afraid that the crown prince would accidentally tell the prince to hear it?After all, His Royal Highness had a relationship with Second Miss. If he was moved to save Second Miss, then in the end... Fifth Miss should marry Governor Jiang?

Shui Linglong closed the storybook, and told Zhi Fan and Liu Lu: "You two tidy up, follow me to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."

Shui Linglong didn't go directly to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, but first took Zhi Fan and Liu Lu to eat a delicious private meal. The two maids had never eaten such delicious food, and they were about to burst their stomachs before giving up.Afterwards, Shui Linglong took the two of them to a jewelry shop called Zhenbao Pavilion. Shui Linglong bought it very generously, but anyone who looked at it twice bought it without asking the price. It cost a total of 300 taels of silver.

Zhi Fan blinked suspiciously. Although the eldest lady has opened a restaurant, her business has just started to pick up, and her cash is actually not rich. She got the 2000 taels of silver by pawning a famous painting, but... bought it all at once. Jewelry that you don't need at all?

The shopkeeper said flatteringly: "This nobleman has really good eyesight. The jewelry you picked are all the most exquisite jewelry in our shop. We can deliver them to your door. Can you tell me which one or two are you from? Quarterly If you have a new product, I'll send someone to pick it up for you."

Shui Linglong wore a veil, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, it can be seen that she smiled: "The Minister of Rites."

After finishing speaking, she turned gracefully and walked towards the door, but accidentally fell when she crossed the threshold, Liu Lu hurriedly supported her: "Miss! Be careful!"

Shui Linglong smiled and said: "Just now I ate too much at Xiangmanlou, which made me feel heavy."

Zhi Fan echoed, "The food there is indeed delicious!"

Shui Linglong nodded her nose, and said angrily, "A little greedy cat! Well, I always have to go out these days anyway, so I'll just take you there to eat your fill!"

Zhifan was flattered!
Shui Linglong raised her eyes to meet the glare of the scorching sun, everything was ready and the only thing she owed was the east wind. Will the east wind come... or not?
Once again, Yao Cheng came to the gate of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, remembering the guard's sentence "Yao's family and dogs are not allowed inside", he was so angry that his hairs stood on end!But if Zhuge Yu thinks that this will make him give up, then he is too underestimating Yao Cheng!
He let Xiaoxi go because he wanted to give her freedom, but he was worried about Xiaoxi and missed Xiaoxi, he...he wanted to see Xiaoxi from a distance!

At this time, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, Leng Yixuan lifted the curtain and jumped off the ground, the guard hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Master Biao, you are here!"

The relationship between Leng Yixuan and Zhuge Xi's siblings was not affected by Leng Wei's incident. Zhuge Xi and Zhuge Yu treated him as before, not to mention that the princess is his aunt!
Leng Yixuan was in a particularly comfortable mood. The cousin's choice to leave meant that she no longer loved Yao Cheng in her heart. In this case, he had a chance!Just when he was about to step into the gate, Yao Cheng stopped him from behind: "Yixuan!"

Leng Yixuan turned his head and saw that it was Yao Cheng, he frowned slightly: "Yao Cheng? What are you here for?" The tone used to deal with a rival in love!

Yao Cheng frowned suspiciously, why did Leng Yixuan treat him so coldly?Anyway, the relationship between the two of them didn't last three generations. He paused and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to find Xiao Yu? It just so happens that I have something to find him, so let's go together!"

Leng Yixuan blocked it with one arm, and said calmly: "I'm not looking for Xiaoyu, I'm looking for Xiaoxi! So, you go to find Xiaoyu yourself, I won't accompany you!"

Leng Yixuan actually called her Xiaoxi?Yao Cheng's heart trembled suddenly: "Leng Yixuan, you..."

Leng Yixuan ignored him and entered the palace without looking back.

Yao Cheng was going crazy with jealousy!Is he a fool or an idiot, and he hasn't seen Leng Yixuan's affection for Zhuge Xi for so many years?It's no wonder that Leng Yixuan's boss still doesn't talk about marriage when he's too young, but... he actually has a crush on Xiaoxi!
Yao Cheng was so anxious that whenever he thought of the picture of Xiaoxi and Leng Yixuan getting along alone, he would scratch his heart and lungs!He finally understood why Xiaoxi was so angry about the accident between him and Leng Wei, if Xiaoxi and Leng Yixuan had sex, he would definitely collapse!
No!

He must not let Leng Yixuan succeed!
