Linglong

Chapter 128

Qin Shiming was originally a domineering and beautiful girl. Several years have passed, and now she is only in her early twenties. According to the life cycle of ancient women, she should be at the most beautiful and mature age.But Linglong took a rough look, and saw that Princess Lu Qin in front of her had extremely thick makeup on her face and a fake smile on her face, which really couldn't bring beauty and joy to people.

If Concubine Shou is the kind of woman who can tell at a glance that she is living a happy life, then this Concubine Lu, no matter who she knows or does not know, will know from her face that her life is not going well.

That's right, when she married into King Lu's mansion, King Lu already had five or six sons - the previous concubine Chen left one son, and the second concubine and concubines had four or five sons, the oldest was fifteen. She is six years old and is about to marry a wife. The little one is still in her infancy, or just started toddling. It is very lively.

Qin Shiming, a pampered boudoir girl, probably had a lot of headaches when she first married into the Lu Palace.

"Speaking of which, you and my nephew and daughter-in-law still know each other from old times." Qin Shiming put on airs of being an aunt, planning to give a long speech, "You are a girl from the Yu family, from a small family of Yu family, so I can't teach you much. When you come to the royal family, you must..."

King Zhou's gaze was like a falcon, and he flashed across Qin Shiming's face fiercely.

Qin Shiming trembled, the next words had come to his lips, but he was numb and couldn't continue.

——It is only natural for an aunt to teach a few words to her nephew and daughter-in-law who just came in, and she is really justified.But, why did she get scared when she met King Zhou's gaze?Back off?
"Before I accept the concubine, Your Majesty and the Empress personally sent female officials to Yu's house to teach etiquette. Do you think that your Majesty and the Empress taught the etiquette badly, so you must be the one to point fingers?" King Zhou asked coldly.

"Yes, do you want to tell me what to do?" King Lu followed up with accusations.

He has a bad temper, he was very fierce in Prince Lu's mansion, it was common for him to abuse palace servants and concubines, but in the palace, in front of King Zhou, how could he be arrogant?He still has this self-knowledge.

Qin Shiming was first ridiculed by King Zhou, and then reprimanded by King Lu. She was so ashamed that she wished that the ground would suddenly open a crack so that she could get in, and would no longer endure such humiliation.Her face was flushed, she was ashamed and embarrassed, and tears were about to fall.

Linglong followed King Zhou like a very obedient daughter-in-law, turning a blind eye to Qin Shiming's embarrassing situation.

"It seems that he is cruel." Everyone saw Linglong's expression and behavior, and couldn't help but click tut.

The husband's aunt was reprimanded, she acted as if she hadn't seen it, she didn't intend to persuade her at all!
After King Lu came the No. 12 son of the former Emperor, King Ping and Princess Ping. Princess Ping is a middle-aged woman who is nearly forty years old. She originally had a lot to say to Princess Zhou who just entered the door, but seeing the situation in front of her, She didn't dare to speak, but just smiled dryly and said something nice like "reunion, happy marriage for a hundred years".

With the example of Qin Shiming at the front, none of the other concubines, princesses and others dared to say anything bad to Linglong, and the matter of recognizing their relatives passed smoothly.

In the middle of the banquet, there was an episode.

Men and women sat separately at the banquet. Concubine Ping and Concubine Qin sat not far away, and asked Concubine Qin, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you have been here for several years, and you haven't moved yet? Only a woman's tolerance can last long." Enjoy the blessing, you, it's time to put some people around King Qin."

Linglong sat close to Princess Shou, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, is there any girl in Princess Ping's family who can't marry?" Princess Shou smiled slightly, "Prince Ping's family is Anxi uncle's mansion, and it is not very prosperous now. That of Prince Qin In terms of status and talent, a girl from the Anxibo House is very willing to be the second concubine."

Linglong's heart was clear, "I said, why is she acting like a villain? It's because she wants to sell her niece."

"Does she have a daughter?" Linglong asked again.

"There are three princesses in Prince Ping's Mansion, and only the eldest princess is her own. Now she is married back to Anxibo Mansion. Her natal family's husband is the eldest son of Anxi Bofu Mansion." Princess Shou said.

Linglong nodded, expressing her understanding.

Concubine Qin is a great beauty, and she is also a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament. She is also very patient with people like Princess Ping, and she is not in a hurry. She said in a gentle manner: "The prince is in charge of all affairs in the Qin Palace. I don't dare to make my own decisions." Princess Ping scolded, "It's just letting a few people go, what's the big deal? You are a princess, don't you even dare to make decisions about this matter? Nephew and daughter-in-law, I don't think you dare to make decisions. Are you jealous? This is not a woman's duty."

Concubine Shou couldn't see it, and said: "The internal affairs of Prince Qin's mansion are that King Qin and Princess Wang are young and can't handle it well, as well as Your Majesty and Queen! Brothers and sisters, we are aunts, and it is inconvenient to take care of the affairs of nephews, nieces and daughters-in-law." Princess Ping Unconvinced, "My nephew, why can't I take care of it?" Concubine Shou frowned when she saw that she was being unreasonable.

Linglong smiled and said: "Princess Ping's words, I think it makes sense!"

"Really?" Princess Ping was overjoyed.

Linglong smiled happily, "Of course it's true." Beckoning to the maid beside her, she ordered, "Go to Zhou Palace to choose ten stunning beauties and give them to Prince Anxi." This maid was Tang Xiaoming who had been following Linglong all along. After listening to Linglong's order, she naturally had no objection, "Yes, I will handle it now." Before Princess Ping came back to her senses, Tang Xiaoming had already left lightly.

Princess Ping was overjoyed just now, but now she was furious and asked Linglong, "What do you mean?"

Linglong smiled, "Auntie is so virtuous and virtuous in her words, how can I not lead by example? Let's start with your daughter first, how about it?"

Princess Ping's face turned purple.

"Don't worry, people will be sent to Anxi Bo's Mansion before the banquet is over." Linglong kindly comforted her.

Princess Ping's belly was about to explode.

Concubine Ping couldn't bear this tone, she wanted to complain to the queen but she didn't dare to, finally after thinking about it, she asked the maid to tell King Ping.

As a result, the maid came back and reported back: "His Royal Highness Zhou Wang blamed Zhou Wangfei for being too stingy, and ordered ten more people to be sent, and another twenty people were sent to King Ping..." Princess Ping fell on her back in anger.

"Sister and sister, you are so powerful." Princess Qin has always been gentle, and she was a little surprised by Linglong's tit-for-tat behavior.

Linglong giggled, "His Royal Highness Zhou Wang said that he has a bad temper anyway, and I and his husband are one, so it doesn't have to be too good-tempered. Second sister-in-law, I really like his words."

Princess Qin couldn't help but smile.

After this banquet, the reputation of Princess Zhou's greatness and not being disadvantaged spread.

"...Your Majesty will personally ask about this matter later, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, uncle, eldest brother, second brother, guess how I answered?" When Linglong returned to the door, when she mentioned this matter, her face was boastful. color.

"How did you answer?" Everyone was concerned, even Mrs. Yu leaned forward, wanting to hear what Linglong had to say.

Linglong looked at her King Zhou with a smile on her eyes, and proudly said: "I told Your Majesty, 'I have the best temper, but the Third Highness is not gentle, in order to match him, I have to be tougher' , His Majesty nodded happily."

Hearing Linglong's words about what to do in order to be a better match with his precious son, the emperor was very happy and happy.

"Little Linglong is really eloquent." Yu Erye and others laughed.

Uncle Yu was sitting on the bed, although his face was serious, there was also a hint of a smile.

In order to satisfy Linglong's wish for a family reunion, the Yu family members are all in Uncle Yu's room at the moment—except for Jing Jia and Jing Xi.The two of them are still keeping a filial piety for the Guan family, so it's not appropriate to come here on a big day.

Yu Yan was lively and asked with a smile, "His Royal Highness, how does it feel to accompany the new wife back to her mother's house? Doesn't it feel like a spring breeze?"

In the past, King Zhou and the Yu family were at odds, but now they are very different - now the Yu family looks at King Zhou more pleasingly than before.

Zhou Wang said slowly: "Second uncle, do you know? Last night, my sister sat under the lamp and counted things one by one, 'This is for grandfather', 'This is for grandmother', 'This is for father and mother' "This is for uncle" "This is for elder brother and second brother"... I walked over to look, and she smiled happily, "Wang Xiaosan, I am very happy when I think of going to my mother's house for something." "

What he said was very vivid, and everyone seemed to have a cute and rascal appearance in front of them, and they couldn't help but smile.

"I reminded her that it's time to go to bed." Zhou Wang continued without blushing and heart beating.

Linglong glared at him fiercely, very angry.

It's okay to urge me to go to bed as soon as it gets dark, but I have the nerve to say it in front of so many people!Wang Xiaosan, you are really...shameless.

"It's good for her, touch this, look at that, with an expression of infatuation and love, and can't bear to let go. I told her, tomorrow you will not only bring these back to your natal family, but also me. I am such a big job." People, isn’t it more worth seeing than these things? She was happy, and the palace man brought a big bag and spread it on the table, and wanted to wrap me in it, ‘Get in quickly, and I will take you back to your mother’s house tomorrow!’ "

Yu Erye, Yu Yan and others couldn't help laughing.

King Zhou said slowly: "So, I don't know how to answer the second brother's question. I'm just a person who has been wrapped up and returned to my mother's house..."

Now even Old Master Yu and the others couldn't help it anymore, and laughed happily.

"The king of Zhou has such a good temper. I really didn't know it before." Qiao said to Uncle Yu in a low voice.

Uncle Yu smiled, "Yaner is newly married, what's wrong?"

He wanted to say, "It's gratifying to still love each other after this period of time." Thinking of his wife's temperament, the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them back.Forget it, with Atao's temperament that doesn't care about world affairs, it's better not to tell her these things, so as to save her from worrying and thinking wildly.

The maid came to report, "The guests from Qiao's Lane, Heqinghou's Mansion, and Chongshanhou's Mansion have arrived."

Today is the day when Linglong returns home. Relatives from Qiao's family, Song's family, and Xu's family all want to visit, but they are really considerate. They came so late, and they only showed up after Linglong and Yu's family were reunited.

Erye Yu and Mrs. Qiao went out to greet the guests respectively.

Linglong was talking with Uncle Yu, and King Zhou came out as well.

Seeing Xu Dudu, Zhou Wang smiled and said: "Uncle, you are obviously a guest of the man's house, why did you come to the woman's house?" Xu Dudu was very happy when he saw that his brows were softer, his words were witty, and approachable, and he said deliberately: "Little girl It's the bridegroom's cousin, the bride's cousin, I figured it out secretly, she's better off being a cousin, so I actually count myself as a guest of the bride's house." Everyone who said that laughed.

Qiao Siqi, Qiao Zhixian, Song Yong, Song Changqing, Song Changchun and the others inevitably exchanged greetings and saluted when they saw King Zhou, and they all felt that King Zhou was different from before.

The indifference and arrogance between his brows disappeared, and he showed no airs at all.

Qiao followed her sister-in-law Zheng, sister Qiao Sirou, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chang, and walked inside while talking affectionately.

"Our Princess Zhou has come back, how is she looking?" Qiao Sirou asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Qiao Shi said three good words in succession and smiled brightly.

Zheng Shi and Qiao Sirou also laughed.
