first princess

Chapter 79 The Art of Separation (3)
After spinning around in place for a few times, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, he smiled and left the place in a hurry.

The guard snorted disdainfully: "Crazy!"

Zhuge Xi's courtyard is in the south of the palace, very close to the back door. Of course, no one would let Yao Cheng through the back door, so...

He decided to climb over the wall!
He bought a bundle of ropes, groped like a thief to a big tree outside the southern wall, climbed up the big tree and tied the ropes, and then climbed up to the wall little by little. He sat down, facing Zhuge Xi The yard took a breather.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to jump down, he saw a giant Tibetan mastiff rushing towards him with bared teeth!

what--
He was so scared that he fell back and fell on the hard ground!
Yao Cheng straightened the strands of messy hair hanging down in a panic, and thought, when did the palace raise Tibetan mastiffs?Tibetan mastiffs are ferocious by nature, what if they accidentally hurt Xiao Xi?
Yao Cheng fanned himself with the palm of his hand for a while, how could he enter the palace if the road was blocked?But soon, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered that there was a dog hole in the east of the palace!

Uh...but he is an official of the imperial court, would it be...too...a drop in price?

Yao Cheng snorted, and resolutely turned around the corner, and found a narrow dog hole behind a weed in the east.

Strange, the dog hole is not so narrow in my memory!

Dazed by jealousy, Yao Cheng didn't have time to think about it. He got down on the ground and got in through the dog hole with great difficulty. Because it was too narrow, his shoulders were scratched and his hip bones were also bruised a lot. Block, but luckily...he got in!
Ha ha!Finally got a chance to meet Xiaoxi!
Yao Cheng tiptoed and walked towards Zhuge Xi's Qingya Courtyard on the less crowded road. To enter the Qingya Courtyard, of course he had to go through the back door. Yao Cheng thought so, and walked towards the back door uncontrollably .

"Hehe...Really? I haven't heard of it..."

Yao Cheng's eyes lit up, Xiaoxi's voice!She laughed, she laughed? !

After a while, the light in his eyes darkened again, did Xiao Xi really live well after leaving him...

"My cousin stays in her boudoir all year round, and there are so many things I haven't heard of. What is this? There are even more bizarre things..."

This is... Leng Yixuan? !
Yao Cheng was splashed with cold water in an instant, and her Xiaoxi smiled, but she was facing another man!In her yard!
"Don't move!" Leng Yixuan said softly and ambiguously.

"You... ah—" Zhuge Xi let out a low cry, and there was no further news.

Yao Cheng's heart shook violently!Then, like being run over by thorns, he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to go crazy!What is Xiaoxi laughing at?What is it called again?And why is it suddenly quiet now?
Is that bastard Leng Yixuan... is he doing something embarrassing to Xiaoxi?
Yao Cheng held back his embarrassment and climbed up the fence of the backyard, but what did he see?Leng Yixuan seemed to be juggling, butterflies flew out of his sleeves one after another, and then danced around Zhuge Xi. She was wearing a plain silk skirt and covered with a goose-yellow veil, she was as beautiful as a fairy, The smile that once belonged only to her is now someone else's.

Leng Yixuan is young and handsome, and knows so many tricks that even surprised him, so Xiaoxi must be a little tempted...

Yao Cheng's heart was on fire, he didn't know how he left Yao's mansion, maybe he escaped through the wall?Or did they get out of a dog hole?He still walked through the gate, he didn't remember anything.Even being dragged to drink by his colleagues from Dali Temple on the way, he didn't have any impression, so he returned to Yao's mansion like a walking dead.

Leng Wei lay on the bed like a cripple, she was not allowed to go to the ground except to go to the toilet, she couldn't even use rouge and gouache, her whole face was so pale that there was no beauty in it.

When Mrs. Yao entered the door, she had just suffered from morning sickness, and her whole body was empty: "Mother, you are here."

Mrs. Yao looked at her increasingly pale face and frowned. When she was pregnant with the child, her face was always rosy, and so was Yan Ying's. Leng Wei's complexion...is not optimistic!A hint of disappointment flashed in Mrs. Yao's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "I heard that you don't eat much at noon, but what's wrong with you?"

Nowhere is comfortable!Want to get out of bed and walk around!Leng Wei held back her displeasure, and said softly: "The food just doesn't suit your appetite."

Mrs. Yao's frown, which had been so easily relaxed, frowned again. Zhuge Xi never complained in front of her face!Mrs. Yao also held back her displeasure, and said: "You are pregnant, so you should avoid it. I have invited an experienced nanny to prepare a special meal for you. Don't play petty temper, eat obediently, so that the child can be healthy."

Thinking of those bland dishes that made her sick, Leng Wei felt that the Yao family didn't care about her feelings at all. They just regarded her as a tool to give birth to a child, and they did whatever was good for the child. As for what she liked and wanted to do, they had no idea at all. Choices abound!She suddenly felt wronged and wanted to go home, her biological parents would definitely not treat her like this...

Inside the Qingya courtyard, Zhuge Xi's eyes and smile disappeared as soon as he looked away, and his interest and joy in looking at the butterflies disappeared: "I'm so sleepy and want to rest, you can go to Yu'er."

You obviously just woke up when I came here... Leng Yixuan's heart felt slightly chilled, he glanced at the shadow on the wall that had long been invisible, and showed a nonchalant smile: "I'll help you in, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

Zhuge Xi said calmly, "No need, Hua Rong will just help me."

After Leng Yixuan left, Zhuge Xi entered the room. As soon as Hua Rong closed the door, Zhuge Xi asked, "How did he get in?"

Hua Rong truthfully told Zhuge Xi what he had heard: "The first time was to climb over the wall, and later he was forced to go back by the son of the prince who released the Tibetan mastiff. The second time was to go through the dog's hole."

Zhuge Xi's long eyelashes trembled, and he tried his best to speak as usual: "Are you... injured?"

Hua Rong replied: "There should be a little skin trauma."

Zhuge Xi closed his eyes and said nothing more.

"Miss, Miss Shui is here!" The maid at the door reported softly.

Zhuge Xi rubbed his dizzy head, yawned, and said, "Miss Shui, please come in."

Shui Linglong knew that Zhuge Xi liked to eat fragrant braised pork elbows and wine-braised crispy duck, so she specially bought two sets and brought them here. She twisted the food box inside and bowed to Zhuge Xi: "Elder sister."

Zhuge Xi pointed to the fake chair beside him: "Sit down."

Shui Linglong didn't sit down directly, but opened the food box first, her eyebrows crooked with a smile, she knew that Zhuge Xi was never picky about food in Yao's house, not because she didn't want to be picky, but because she didn't want to embarrass her mother-in-law, now she's back at the palace I don't have so many scruples anymore.

"It's good that you care about Yu'er like this." Zhuge Xi said with a smile, walked over and sat down. Unexpectedly, when she raised her chopsticks and looked at the two plates of elbow and crispy duck that she had loved so much, Liu Mei frowned for no reason. , why... a bit disgusting and can't eat it?

"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhuge Xi's disgusted expression, Shui Linglong couldn't help asking, this is something she bought, and Zhuge Xi didn't like it, so her first reaction was naturally that she felt uncomfortable.

Zhuge Xi also noticed her disrespect. Linglong is her sister-in-law, and she will have to get along with her every day from now on. It would be bad if the relationship froze.She suppressed the discomfort and said: "Oh, it's nothing, I'm probably a little sleepy." She took a piece of greasy elbow and put it in her mouth. The more she ate, the more uncomfortable it became, and she couldn't swallow it at all. She covered her mouth and said vaguely: " Excuse me." Walking into the clean room, he spit out the contents of his mouth into the spittoon.

Shui Linglong looked at Zhuge Xi's back, sleepy?Can't eat?Shui Linglong picked up a fat elbow with chopsticks, and ate it with relish, it was delicious!Could it be...

"Sister, has your sunflower water arrived this month?"

Zhuge Xi walked out of the clean room, and was startled when she heard the words. Ever since she reconciled with Yao Cheng, she has been doing nothing but sleeping and eating. She doesn't have to remember when Yao Cheng is on vacation, so she doesn't count the days: "What day is today?"

"April nineteenth."

Only left him for 20 days?Why does it feel like a lifetime to her?Zhuge Xi lowered his eyes: "I don't remember whether the sunflower water came or not."

Shui Linglong was taken aback for a moment, what kind of life are you living these days?
On the contrary, Huarong said as if waking up from a dream: "I didn't come! Miss, your sunflower water should be from the beginning of the month, God! Why didn't I even notice this?"

Shui Linglong remembered the conversation she had with Hua Rong earlier...

"When my eldest sister and I mentioned Gu Yuan Gao, why were you panicking? Did you hide some unknown secrets?" Her first reaction at that time was that Hua Rong was doing it carefully!After all, Hua Rong is Zhuge Xi's most trusted maid, if she turns against her, Zhuge Xi is really hard to guard against!
Unexpectedly, Hua Rong's eyes were red with anxiety: "I...I...I..."

The word "I" three times in a row made her wary, she grabbed Hua Rong's throat, and her voice was like water in a cold pool: "If you don't say any more, I'll break your neck!"

Huarong was so scared that Huarong turned pale: "I say! I say! But Miss Shui, don't tell the young lady! She...she will kill me! A few days ago, the young master bought special Guyuan ointment from the pharmacy as usual Come back, give it to me and let me take it back to the yard, but it just rained and the road was very slippery. I accidentally fell and broke the Guyuan ointment! The young lady always treasured the things that the young master gave. Last year, a maid Just because the young master bought a box of desserts for the young lady, she was shot by the young lady! I was afraid that I would also be beaten to death by the young lady, so...so I sneaked out of the house and bought a new box..."

She immediately opened her eyes wide as if she had discovered a new continent: "Did my eldest sister notice the difference in taste?"

Hua Rong nodded timidly: "Yes, it is said that the original Guyuan ointment had a slightly bitter taste, but now it has a stronger sour taste. The servant girl said, 'Perhaps they improved the prescription. You still have to buy it from the young master? Don't worry?' The eldest young mistress believed it, so she didn't ask any more questions."

It's no wonder that when she asked Zhuge Xi for Guyuan Ointment, Zhuge Xi would show a hesitant expression, probably worried that this one would not be as effective as the original one, but after all, she had taken it for several days and it would definitely be harmless to her body. Only then did I reassure her.

After reminiscing, Shui Linglong looked at Hua Rong with a smile: "Thanks to you." Now she is sure that the Guyuan ointment that Yao Cheng bought for Zhuge Xi was filled with conventional contraceptives. Without the medicinal Guyuan Ointment, Zhuge Xi would not be able to conceive a child!
Huarong doesn't know why, what is it thanks to her?
Shui Linglong held Zhuge Xi's hand and said seriously, "Eldest sister, you may be happy."

Zhuge Xi opened his mouth wide...

Hua Rong immediately ran to the study to tell Zhuge Yu about this conjecture. Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Liuyun were studying the water conservancy construction diagram drawn by Xun Feng. After hearing Hua Rong's words, the two threw the diagram away and walked quickly to Zhuge Xi's room. inside.

Zhuge Xi's pretty face was flushed, and the hand holding the skirt trembled slightly, as if waiting for an important ruling.

Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Liuyun appeared in the room in seconds, Zhuge Xi was going to greet Zhuge Liuyun, Zhuge Liuyun stepped forward and held her down: "There is no need for so many empty rituals! Sit down quickly and let Yu'er show you. "

However, Zhuge Yu caught sight of Shui Linglong who was standing beside Jing, and he personally moved a chair for Shui Linglong: "Sit down."

It was only then that Zhuge Liuyun realized that there were other people in the room, no wonder his daughter wanted to greet her.

Shui Linglong knew that Zhuge Liuyun had noticed her, so she hurriedly saluted: "My daughter has met the prince, and the prince is blessed and safe."

Thinking of the old lady's oolong trouble in the Zhenbei Palace, saying that Shui Linglong was looking for death at home and would not marry Zhuge Yu, Zhuge Liuyun was very wronged for his son, and he didn't like the way Shui Linglong looked, but he respected his son's decision, If the son insists on marrying this woman, it's not impossible for him to turn a blind eye!Zhuge Liuyun said indifferently: "Stay flat, since Yu'er asked you to sit, you should sit."

"Yes!" Shui Linglong responded respectfully, and sat down on the twig obediently.

Zhuge Yu frowned, took Zhuge Xi's hand and felt her pulse.Shui Linglong blinked in surprise, did Zhuge Yu know medical skills?

Her eyes swept away, it seemed... something was missing?Ah, by the way, I didn't see the princess!She has come to Zhenbei Palace not once or twice, but she has never seen the princess in Zhuge Xi's courtyard.I heard that the concubine worshiped the Buddha on weekdays and didn't like being disturbed, so she didn't go to see him, but why didn't she show up for such a big event as Zhuge Xi's pregnancy?Did Hua Rong not inform her, or did she know but didn't come?

"How is it?" Zhuge Liuyun asked nervously.

Zhuge Yu shook his head and sighed, "Oh! It's really..."

Zhuge Xi and Zhuge Liuyun's hearts froze at the same time, or...couldn't they conceive?

Zhuge Yu knocked on her forehead: "You are so stupid! You have been pregnant for more than a month and you don't feel anything at all?"

Zhuge Xi picked up a pillow and threw it at Zhuge Yu: "You bastard! How dare you play me!"

Zhuge Liuyun hurriedly hugged his daughter's arm, and coaxed: "I'm going to be a mother, why don't you stop? What if you move your fetus?"

The tone was full of affection and doting, and Zhuge Xi was moved. The marriage of the two great families is no small matter. She made her own decision without asking her parents. Such a shy woman, not to mention that she was pregnant with another child at this time, and she was pregnant after He Li. It is almost unimaginable what kind of messy remarks will come out if the outside world hears the news.

How could Zhuge Liuyun not know what his daughter was thinking?He touched his daughter's face and said dotingly: "With Father and King here, don't be afraid!"

"I'm sorry, I've embarrassed my father."

Zhuge Liuyun raised his face: "What are you talking about? You gave birth to offspring for the Zhuge family, why would you say that you are ashamed? Don't care what others think, you and your child are the hope of our Zhuge family."

Zhuge Xi hugged Zhuge Liuyun. Without Yao Cheng, she still has children, and a father and younger brother who love her deeply. What is there to be dissatisfied with in this life?

Zhuge Yu raised his thick eyebrows slightly, snorted and said, "Compared to me, what's your matter?"

Zhuge Liuyun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "That's right, your younger brother is a villain, and everyone is scolding him, who will pay attention to you? Even if you pay attention, so what? Just treat them as farting!"

Seeing the father and son making Zhuge Xi happy by grandstanding, Linglong couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in her heart. Both her son and daughter have brought shame on the family, but as a father, she doesn't mind at all. Maybe it's not that she really doesn't mind, but rather Father's love prevailed, and he chose to spend his whole life to tolerate and deal with the aftermath.Shui Linglong touched her lower abdomen. If Shui Hangge in her previous life could have half as much affection as King Zhenbei, her Bin'er and Qing'er wouldn't have one handicapped amnesia, the other burned into a ball...

If she and Zhuge Yu had a child, the whole family would love the child with all their heart and soul, and the child would be very, very happy, right?
For the first time after her rebirth, Shui Linglong had the idea to keep the Zhenbei Palace!

Zhuge Xi's pregnancy has not been announced to the public for the time being, and she intends to wait until the first three months of the dangerous period have passed, but Zhuge Yu told her with certainty, certainty, and certainty that her pulse condition is very stable, and she should eat, sleep, and sleep. Playing around is not wrong as usual, walking fast or slow has no effect, and except for a few ingredients that are not good for the fetus such as crabs, strong tea, etc., there is no need to taboo. What a pregnant woman wants to eat is sometimes what is lacking in the body.

Zhuge Xi didn't know that it was Huarong who changed the Guyuan cream with contraceptives by mistake, so she got pregnant as she wished. She thought it was the method taught by the eldest princess that worked!Therefore, she happily wrote a best friend letter to the eldest princess: Yun Xiaopang, I am so happy!I didn't tell anyone else, so please don't spread the word. Also, thank you for the secret you taught me, and I will present you with a pearl and a set of purple gold jewelry.

Hua Rong read the letter, and the corners of his mouth twitched, lord, son, you are not human...

The eldest princess quickly replied: Zhuge goblin, congratulations on your long-cherished wish fulfilled, and also, thank you for the way of intercourse, the son-in-law will stay in my room this month, especially, I will give you a box of longan lotus seed cake in return, which is light and affectionate.

Zhuge Xi's face darkened: "Hmph!"

Yao Cheng fell into a coma in the study all night, woke up the next day, and Hai Bo hurriedly took the court clothes to help him change into them, but he frowned and said, "Today is on vacation, you don't need to go to court!"

Hai Bo was taken aback, didn't he only have one day off in a month?I took a break yesterday...

Yao Cheng stretched his waist, changed into a navy blue brocade suit, and after washing, when he saw the scallion pancakes on the table, he frowned and said, "The scallion pancakes you ate yesterday, won't you change them today?"

Hai Bo was taken aback again, he ate scallion pancakes the day before yesterday, and steamed buns yesterday...
