first princess

Chapter 94
The third princess sat for a while and returned to the palace without getting any useful news. Before leaving, she still did not forget to tell Shui Linglong to inform her if Guo Yan sent a letter.

That night, Aunt Zhou was in pain all night, and at dawn the next day, she gave birth to a six-jin baby girl.

The old lady flicked her sleeves back to the Fushouyuan without giving her a hug, but Qin Fangyi cheerfully invited a wet nurse to take care of Miss Six. Daughters, the more the better, they will be the stepping stones of the Shangshu Mansion in the future!
Soon it was mid-July, and Li Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu's wedding was less than a month away.

Shui Linglong stood by the desk, wondering whether to write or not, hesitated for a long time, and finally wrote a line, and then asked Ye Mao to send it to Anping.

In the Fushou Courtyard, the old lady is playing chess with Shui Lingxi. These days, Shui Linglong always runs back and forth between the Wang's residence and the Shangshu's residence, and rarely has time to accompany the old lady. Shui Lingxi took advantage of the loophole again.

I haven't seen her for many days, but Shui Lingxi is still breathtakingly beautiful. She lightly sweeps her brows and puts on a thin layer of makeup. Her face is white and rosy, with an attractive luster. She smiles gently at Shui Linglong: "Long time no see, big sister."

Shui Linglong walked to the old lady with a normal expression, poured a cup of tea for the old lady, then looked at Shui Lingxi, smiled and said: "Second sister can let go of her heart, I am really happy for you as the eldest sister."

Talk about her illness again!Shui Lingxi smiled and said: "Please fill me up, sister."

Shui Linglong poured her a cup of tea, and Shui Lingxi gave birth to a son: "Grandmother, you have made Lingxi nowhere to go!"

The old lady showed a far-fetched smile: "Who told you that you are not good at chess and you have to ask me to learn from you? Just to bully you!" How can she be happy when the best marriage is so messed up now?

Shui Lingxi gave birth to a son, and smiled sweetly at Shui Linglong again: "Today is July 25th, less than half a month away from the big sister and Zhuge Shizi's wedding, I wonder if my eldest brother-in-law can make it back." Best Die in Kashgar!Let Shui Linglong lose her husband before she gets married!
Shui Linglong smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Second Sister. It's okay if you miss the wedding date. It's a good day, ah, Second Sister and Xun Shizi's wedding date is good, so we might as well get it together." How wonderful it is to run around as a concubine!

Shui Lingxi's heart twitched fiercely, and she turned her face away!

Another three days later, there was still no news from Kashgar, Shui Linglong was tossing and turning on the bed, holding the bracelet Zhuge Yu gave her in her hand, completely sleepless.

Changle Pavilion.

Shui Hangge had just finished pampering Shi Qing, Zhao's mother carried Shi Qing down, Qin Fangyi straightened her clothes, and walked into the main room expressionlessly, with an elegant smile on her face the moment she stepped into the door: " Xianggong, are you ready to rest?"

Shui Hangge leaned against the head of the bed, stretched out his arm towards Qin Fangyi, and Qin Fangyi sat in his arms, holding back the deep nausea, and sighed regretfully: "There is no news about the son of Zhuge, Linglong's marriage..."

Shui Hangge frowned: "Isn't there still ten days left? Maybe Prince Zhuge can come back."

Come back?I'm afraid it's a corpse!Qin Fangyi sneered in her heart, and seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, she changed the subject and said, "Is there any news about the Xun family's case?"

Just mentioning this Shuihangge gives me a headache. How could the huge Xun family be put in prison?But with the lessons learned by Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu, he didn't dare to do this kind of oolong anymore. He patted Qin Fangyi's arm and sighed: "The crown prince and the third prince are investigating, and Shizi Xun is destroying the evidence. The two sides just launched a tug-of-war, and the fight was wild."

Qin Fangyi's eyes widened suspiciously: "The crown prince and the third prince have always had political disagreements, how did they unite this time?"

"Everyone takes what they need." Shui Hangge sighed again.

"Did they each get what they needed, or did Shizi Xun offend both of them at the same time?" If it was the latter, then she really had to consider whether to marry her daughter to Xun Feng.When everything goes well, she feels that the monk's words are very reasonable, but when she encounters setbacks, she will suspect that the bald donkey is fooling around!
Men are farsighteder than women. In Shui Hangge's view, even if Xun Feng offends the crown prince and the third prince at the same time, it's nothing. On the contrary, being able to fight against the two highly respected heirs with one's own strength and still keep a family and life is enough. It shows Xun Feng's strength.Shui Hangge said in relief: "Look, all the men in Pingnan Palace have been imprisoned except Shizi Xun. Do you know what this means?"

Qin Fangyi looked up at him in a daze: "What do you mean?"

Shui Hangge smiled: "The water in a pond is muddy, and the fish raised must have problems, but if there is a fish that is not only healthy, but also alive and kicking, then it must not belong to the fish in this pond." , perhaps, it is a dragon!"

Qin Fangyi seems to understand but not understand.

Shui Hangge hugged her and lay down: "Didn't you say that Lingxi is destined to be a concubine? Hehe, I think Lingxi can be not only a concubine, but also a queen!"

When Qin Fangyi heard this, her eyes lit up with joy: "Sir, what you said is true?"

Shui Hangge said slowly: "I have thought a lot these days. Even the daughter of a businessman like my second brother can become a princess. Why can't my daughter of a dignified second-rank official be a queen? This time the Xun family seems to be In adversity, I see that there may not be a turning point. Remember, giving charcoal in the snow is always better than icing on the cake. Now, not only can you not neglect the Pingnan Palace, but you should always persuade Lingxi and Xun Shizi to move around. So what? With the support of the prince, our Lingxi will surely be able to live a prosperous life!"

Qin Fangyi nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Okay, I will remember this. Then...do you want to help me with the case of Pingnan Palace?"

Shui Hangge looked at her: "How can I help?"

Qin Fangyi felt good about herself and said: "The court, you and my father can plead for the Pingnan Palace. In addition, I will write a letter of help to Shui Lingyue with my old face, so that she can listen to the emperor."

Shui Hangge shook his head: "A woman's opinion! Whoever pleads for the Pingnan Palace now is pushing the Pingnan Palace into the pit of fire! The bribes accepted by the Pingnan Palace have already aroused the admiration of Long Live Lord Afraid, knowing that the Long Live Lord is furious, you are not afraid to plead for the Pingnan Palace, didn't you tell the Long Live Lord that the hardcore supporters of the Pingnan Palace are not even afraid of imperial power?"

"Oh, this... I didn't think carefully." Qin Fangyi said very apologetically.

Shui Hangge withdrew his arm from under Qin Fangyi's neck, turned over and turned his back to Qin Fangyi, and said, "It's okay to write to Concubine Zhen, let her always pay attention to the heart of Long Live Lord, and if there is a suitable time to blow it It's fine to blow the wind from the pillow..." In the end, the voice became weak and inaudible, and gradually turned into a snoring sound.

Qin Fangyi looked at his slightly bowed back, and once again strong disgust flowed in her beautiful eyes. She was really blind to fall in love with such a flirtatious man!For the sake of profit, even the biological daughter can be sold!If she shares the bed with this kind of person, she will be so sick that she won't be able to eat for three days!

Qin Fangyi closed her clothes, put on her shoes and walked out of the door. As soon as she opened the door, Zhao's mother walked over in small steps and reported a few words in a low voice. Qin Fangyi's expression changed: "The news is reliable?"

Mother Zhao replied: "It's absolutely true!"

Qin Fangyi's eyes sharpened: "What a fate!"

Maybe it was because the night in midsummer was too stuffy, or maybe the frogs in the lotus pond were too loud. Shui Linglong tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, putting the bracelet on and taking it off, taking it off and putting it on again...repeated and repeated countless times, even His wrists were all red.

Suddenly, Shui Linglong heard the report from the little maid outside the door who tried her best to suppress it, and then, Zhi Fan put on her shoes and walked out lightly. Not long after, there was a "bang", as if Zhi Fan had hit the door, and then the water Linglong heard Zhifan's uncontrollable scream: "Miss! Miss! You wake up! The Kashgar War is a victory! My uncle is coming back!"

Shui Linglong's mind suddenly buzzed, and there was a moment of blankness, like a world of ice and snow, and she couldn't see the second color. The rhythm of the snowflakes flying all over the sky suddenly slowed down, so slow that she could clearly feel the flow of time slowly freeze. average.

When she suddenly came back to her senses, Zhi Fan had already rushed to the bed, opened the curtain and looked at her with tears on her face: "Miss! Young Master is coming back! Young Master has really returned safely! The news sent by the palace sent , the good news was first sent to the palace, and then the Lord Long Live sent Eunuch Li Chang to personally go to the palace to congratulate him!"

Shui Linglong lowered her eyes to hide her deep surprise, and said in a calm tone: "I'll be back when I come back, what are you doing? Go to bed early."

She was called "uncle", and the eldest lady didn't punish her, and she was reckless, and the eldest lady didn't punish her either.

Shui Linglong closed her eyes, finally able to sleep peacefully.

It turned out that Zhuge Yu and Guo Yan gradually figured out the terrain of the enemy army at the cost of sacrificing the lives of some artillery and soldiers after more than ten rounds of confrontation with the rebels. The two decided to adopt the special forces combat method. When he was seriously injured, he led a group of dead soldiers to bypass the enemy's outpost at night, sneaked into the bunker through the side door for transporting food and grass, and blew up their artillery and gate with explosives.

This is an extremely dangerous task. No one knows how many enemy troops are stationed in the bunker, and no one knows how many martial arts masters are hidden inside the enemy army, and there may be traps inside...

Guo Yan and Zhuge Yu fought over who was going to take the risk, and even had a fight in the camp. In the end, Zhuge Yu ordered Guo Yan to obey his superiors unconditionally as the commander-in-chief, while he himself tied a suit of explosives and brought the same equipment. Ten dark guards walked out of the camp.

At that moment, all the tough men in the barracks cried.

This time, if they can't blow up the gate of the enemy camp, they have to blow themselves up, and they must not become prisoners of the enemy.

These few words and descriptions make one's heart tremble, Shui Linglong really can't imagine how Zhuge Yu survived, and she is also afraid, afraid that in this life, she will finally meet a man she doesn't hate, but he will go like this.

Later, Zhuge Yu and others successfully blew up eight of the enemy's cannons and also opened the gate of the enemy camp. Guo Yan immediately commanded [-] elite soldiers to meet them and wiped out the rebels with an overwhelming advantage.

The emperor ordered Zhuge Yu to be canonized as the second-rank general of Yuanxi, and he immediately entered the court as an official. Guo Yan was not promoted to an official rank, but he received a generous reward.

At the same time, the emperor canonized Zhuge Ming, the son of Zhuge Liufeng who also performed well during the war, as the king of Anjun, and returned to Beijing with Zhuge Yu to receive the title.

On the other side, Yao Cheng and Yao Kui also found Zhenbei King, and the two escorted the seriously injured Zhenbei King on the way back to Beijing.

In the Fushou courtyard, the old lady finally showed the smile of the rest of her life after the catastrophe. She looked at Shui Linglong and said with emotion: "Linglong, this time you are really keeping the clouds open and the moon is bright. I heard that your mother found you I am not happy to have such a marriage, I always feel that although the Zhenbei Prince's family has a high family background, but the son is too messy, he is really not a good match for my daughter of the Shui family."

Shui Linglong brushed her hair from her temples back, smiled and said nothing.

The old lady went on to say: "Later, I don't have much to say when you and your son are in love with each other. You can marry anyone. Happiness is all achieved by yourself. You can see that Ling Yu is a thief." Example. But I still say that, keep your heart, don’t love men more than yourself, it will be very hard for you.”

When she heard these words for the first time, Shui Linglong's heart was full of gratitude, but now she heard it again, and suddenly she had a different feeling. The old lady didn't want her to fall into love and couldn't extricate herself, it seemed that she just wanted her to keep Indifferent state of mind, in this way, you will not hesitate to use your husband's family.

There was a trace of coldness in Shui Linglong's cold eyes.

The old lady took a sip of tea, didn't notice the strangeness in Shui Linglong's eyes, and said again: "Of course, now I am really happy for you. The ignorant dude has suddenly turned into a battlefield hero. Your face There is also light."

Shui Linglong smiled, but remained silent.

The old lady thought she was shy, patted her hand, and said with a smile: "There will always be a day to be a woman, don't be nervous!"

Shui Linglong said softly: "Yes."

The old lady's eyes flickered, and she said: "I asked you to visit your aunt last time, but it was delayed due to successive accidents in the Zhenbei Palace. Anyway, it has been delayed for so long, and there is nothing wrong with delaying it for a few more days. Your big wedding Then there will be the concubine, who will enter the palace to meet the queen, then you can ask the empress for a favor, you are newly married, and the son has just made great achievements, the empress will not refuse to give you some face."

Doesn't the old lady feel that she is too selfish?What does it mean to be "delayed due to successive incidents in the Zhenbei Palace", should she run around because of Shui Chenxiang who tried to harm her?And "it's been delayed for so long anyway", making it seem like she owes someone!

Shui Linglong lowered her eyes, and tried her best to speak as usual: "Linglong entered the palace to have an audience with Zhuge Yu. If you want to ask for grace, you must get his permission in advance. If he agrees, I will definitely ask for it."

The old lady hit a soft nail and felt displeased in her heart, but she didn't want to offend her at this critical moment: "You are a kind-hearted person, I understand, the prince has always loved you, so you can tell him, huh?"

"Understood." Shui Linglong answered with lowered eyebrows, then took out a bunch of keys from her purse, and handed them to the old lady with both hands, "Grandmother, these are the keys to the warehouse and porter, Linglong can no longer help you run the house, Please forgive Linglong for being unfilial."

She thought she would wait until the eve of the big wedding before handing it over, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, the smile in the eyes of the old lady became even bigger: "Now do you understand the painstaking efforts of grandma?"

Shui Linglong smiled and said: "Linglong understands that grandma's letting Linglong be in charge is actually training Linglong's ability, so that Linglong will be more handy when she marries and takes over the gift in the future."

The old lady showed a satisfied look: "Last time you gave Ling Yu your companion room, this time I picked a few more good ones, an experienced mother, two maids, and put them in the palace or in a shop under my name." It’s up to you to arrange, and then, you can see if you need to change the Zhuangzi and the shop steward, if necessary, I will hurry up and choose.”

Shui Linglong smiled and said, "No need to change, I don't worry if Grandma arranges it."

The old lady closed her eyes, and sighed slowly as if she was extremely tired: "I'm tired, you haven't gone anywhere these days, just stay in your boudoir and wait to get married."

Shui Linglong stood up and saluted, "Linglong will leave."

As soon as Shui Linglong left, the old lady suddenly opened her eyes and called Mama Wang: "Give the key to the eldest lady, and tell her that I am not feeling well and need to rest from now on."

Mother Wang tremblingly took the key in her hand: "Madam, have you stopped thinking about it? It's easy to hand over the power, but it's hard to take it back. The second young master..."

The old lady remembered what Shui Hangge said to her this morning-"Mother, my son has neglected you these days. My son made a mistake, so I came here to apologize to you. My son has figured it out. It's fine for Bingbing to be the princess, but the second brother's daughter She is also the daughter of our Shui family, and it is a good story that Linglong and Zhuge Shizi finally got married. Mother forgives my son for being unfilial these days! Mother's health is not good, and my son will come to take care of the sick every day from now on, I only hope that you can live a long life and be happy and healthy!"

When God gives you one thing, he will surely take away another thing from you. If God is like this, what about people?

The old lady waved her hand: "Go, do as I say."

Mother Wang's heart sank. Once the old lady handed over her power, the Fushouyuan will return to the days when it was empty...

On the eighth day of August, Zhuge Yu and Guo Yan finally led their soldiers into Beijing to accept the emperor's canonization.

It is said that there were constant cheers along the way, and the common people shouted "Zhuge Shizi" one after another, as if they were worshiping a god. There were countless people who smirked and shed tears at him, what's more, they threw handkerchiefs, sachets, and even bellybands at Zhuge Yu...
