Linglong

Chapter 138

"You...you..." Lu Wangfei jumped up, stretched out her arm and pointed at Linglong, trembling with anger.

She originally planned to use words to hold Linglong first, forcing Linglong to reconcile with Princess Sijin as before, and then bring up the matter of sending Luo Qionghua into the Zhou Palace, of course it went smoothly.She thought beautifully, but unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Linglong blocked her back without any politeness!

"I... I really lose face as an aunt, I... I'm going to talk to the empress!" Princess Lu said harshly.

Linglong pursed her lips, "Princess Lu, please go ahead. However, I have always been a good-hearted person, so I would like to remind Princess Lu that today is the winter solstice festival, and the wives from inside and outside come to congratulate her. The empress is in a happy mood and smiling. If Princess Lu has the slightest How can you bear to bother her with trifles when you think about the empress?"

When Linglong said these reasonable and calm words, Princess Lu became dizzy with anger and froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.If she continues to quarrel with Linglong, she won't get any benefit; if she complains to the queen, she really doesn't have the guts. One is that today is a festive season, so it would be a shame to sue, and two is that Linglong is the queen's daughter-in-law, and she is just a younger sister-in-law. It's not like she doesn't know how far the daughter-in-law is from the younger sister-in-law here, but if she doesn't complain to the queen, it seems that she is afraid of Linglong, and she will be embarrassed-it's a dilemma, and it's wrong to do anything!

"You, you are arrogant and disrespectful to your elders. I am so mad at you!" Concubine Lu was so helpless, she pointed at Linglong and complained angrily, and fell back.

Linglong disdains.Pretending to faint, right?Once you are so dizzy, the accusation of disrespecting aunt and making aunt faint out of anger is set on me, isn't it?You think so beautifully.

"Among those who pinch her, wake her up!" Linglong instructed Tang Xiaoming.

Tang Xiaoming said without hesitation, "Yes, princess." He quickly arrived at Princess Lu's side.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess came faster than her, and now she was beside Princess Lu, calling "Princess Lu", and pinched her hard with his hands! ——Even if she was really dizzy, Princess Lu should wake up now, not to mention she is just pretending? "Ouch", moaned.

"What's wrong with Princess Lu? It's such a festive season, and the whole world celebrates it, but her face is as pale as a piece of paper." The princess looked concerned, "What's the matter? Such a gaffe at the banquet?"

Poor Princess Lu looked at the Crown Princess eagerly, and waited for the Crown Princess to ask her, "Who is this mad at you old man?" She could then pour the sewage on Linglong, but the Crown Princess didn't ask her that. Instead, pursue Princess Lu—what occasion is this, what happened to you, dare to make such a fuss?
Princess Lu was so angry that she threw her head back and fainted.

This time she was really dizzy.

The Crown Princess frowned slightly, "Fortunately, this is only a winter solstice feast, if I fainted during the sacrifice..."

Everyone present was shocked.

Sacrifice is for the purpose of "pursuing filial piety and high hopes for people's morality". For a princess, being able to participate in sacrifices normally is the most basic requirement. She really doesn't have to be a princess.What the Crown Princess said is an understatement, but it really has a profound meaning and draws people's imagination...

Linglong stared at the scene with her eyes wide open, admiring the princess very much.

He usually looks like a very easy-going person, but once he makes a move, he is steady, accurate, ruthless, and powerful.

Linglong looked at the Crown Princess with eyes full of admiration, and the Crown Princess couldn't help smiling.

Concubine Ping and others, who were watching coldly, were secretly glad when they arrived at this time: Fortunately, they didn't speak for Princess Lu just now!Otherwise, wouldn't she be ashamed like Princess Lu right now?

Concubine Lu was first taught by Princess Zhou's upright words, and then she was warned by Princess Concubine Hidden Needle in Mian.

However, what happened to Princess Lu was just a small episode at the Winter Solstice Banquet, and was quickly forgotten because there was a happy event at the banquet.

Princess Qin did not drink alcohol at the banquet, she only drank water, and the dishes in front of her were different from ordinary people. Princess Shou was careful, so she asked her, and only then did she know that Princess Qin was pregnant—all the people were busy complaining to her. Congratulations to the queen, congratulations to Concubine Qin, how can anyone pay attention to Concubine Lu, she has been forgotten long ago.

The winter solstice banquet in Jiaotai Hall came to an end in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

After the winter solstice, the dispute between Princess Lu and Princess Zhou gradually spread.

Some idle officials of the Imperial Academy, Six Ministries, and Ke Dao were divided into two factions. One faction was in favor of Princess Lu. Those who hurt their parents will never forgive and never reconcile, this is the duty of a child!" The two factions argued and argued for several days, no one could convince the other.

In the end, the highly respected Du Laoshangshu stood up and said, "If I have a daughter, I hope she will be the same as Princess Zhou."

Du Laoshang Shu's hair on his temples was already gray, he said with emotion, no one was chattering anymore.

Yes, talking about harmony, tolerance, family and everything, I was really hurt. Who wouldn’t want a daughter like Princess Zhou to tell the world categorically that those who hurt my father will never forgive and never reconcile.Who would want to be murdered by someone on their side, and the daughter would turn around and laugh at the perpetrator Yanyan.

The emperor called Du Laoshangshu to the Qianqing Palace to inquire about political affairs. In response to the decree, he rewarded ten pearls and ten pieces of brocade.

"Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, it's just that...he's a bit defensive." The eyes of the ministers in the court were all bright, knowing that the emperor's reward was not for responding to the order, but for praising Du Laoshangshu for speaking for the princess of Zhou. People who sighed secretly It is quite a lot.

Your Majesty the Emperor, you have already made King Zhou into a domineering temperament, and if you treat Princess Zhou like this...what do you want to make your youngest son and daughter-in-law look like.

In the eyes of everyone, the Yu family was originally just a lucky family that became prosperous because of the birth of a concubine of Zhou, but now it is different. "Concubine Zhou is a girl from a commoner family. Not long after she got married, she was able to talk to Princess Lu with eloquence, neither humble nor overbearing, neither reserved nor aggressive, which shows the upbringing of the Yu family." There are many people who have inquired about girls from the Yu family. The cousin has already hired someone, so her eyes are on the sisters in the family of Princess Zhou.Girls in the Yu family are also very popular all of a sudden.

"One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven." Yu Erye laughed happily.

The old man Yu came back from hosting the regular meeting of the Society of Inscriptions and Literature, and he was happy, "Today, this big guy can't take care of his business. A bunch of people surrounded me to praise our little Linglong. Eleven Lang, you have raised a good girl." Ah." Speaking of Linglong, she was very proud.

Among the three fathers and sons, only Uncle Yu was not very happy. He forced a smile, and perfunctory old Mrs. Yu, sat alone for a long time after returning, and wrote a letter to Linglong, "Long'er, Daddy!" I only hope you are safe and sound, it is better not to get angry with others and be careful."

Linglong and King Zhou were already very close, when they received the letter, they read it together with King Zhou.King Zhou frowned, "You have to be careful when you marry me? Little Lingdang, my father-in-law is looking down on me." Linglong laughed at him, "You don't understand this. There is a age gap between parents and children, and there is a generation gap." , Moreover, sometimes there is no need to talk about reason between father and daughter, it is about feelings." Picking up a pen, he wrote a reply letter to Uncle Yu, promising, "Father, I will be very careful, and I will never take an extra step , and don’t say a word.” After finishing writing, he read it again, and sealed it with a proud face.

King Zhou tutted, "Little Lingdang, you are very good at fooling people. If you coax father-in-law like this, then you..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Linglong put her arms around his neck and said sweetly, "Wang Xiaosan, why are you the same? I am you, you are me, and you and I are one person."

King Zhou was in a high spirits.

Well, I know that you are fooling me, Little Bell, but I am willing to be fooled by you like this...

King Lu was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. After scolding Princess Lu in the mansion, he still felt uneasy. When he entered the palace to pay his respects, he complained to his biological mother, Princess Jing, "Mother, this Qin family doesn't look like a girl from a big family. Not virtuous, it will only cause trouble for me." Concubine Jing asked all the reasons and consequences, and said: "She is also out of luck, and when she meets such a powerful opponent as Princess Zhou, she is married to the palace only if she is a girl from an ordinary family. His eyes are dark, how dare he offend his aunt in public?" Lu Wang was listless, "That boy Zhou Wang saw that my nose is not my nose and my eyes are not eyes, so I panicked. Mother and concubine, I blame the Qin family for being troubled Concubine Jing said with a smile: "Prince Zhou is still in the wedding season, so of course he is going to his sweetheart. Don't be afraid, my son, when the concubine mother goes out to break up with the concubine Zhou in person, she will no longer hold grudges, and the king of Zhou will also I'm relieved." King Lu was overjoyed, "I also thought about letting Mrs. Qin and Concubine Zhou accompany her, but she is an aunt, and Concubine Zhou is a nephew and daughter-in-law. It's not good to be too humble, and it doesn't look like it. Going out, that would be the best!"

Concubine Jing smiled slightly.

She ordered the maid to inquire about the whereabouts of Princess Zhou, hoping to wait for the opportunity to meet Princess Zhou.

"I want to apologize on behalf of Princess Lu. She is the only one who is not good. Others don't know, and her face is not bright; but there can't be too many people. If there are too many people, I won't be able to get off my old face." Jing Toffee secretly calculated.

On this day, Mrs. Lu brought her youngest daughter, Ami, into the palace. Mrs. Lu accompanied the queen to talk in Kunning Palace. Ami and Princess Yongning went to the Hanfang Pavilion in the back garden of the palace. Princess and Ami are here to join in the fun.

"Third Brother, do you think Ami and I are annoying?" Princess Yongning asked with a smile.

"Third Cousin, if you think I'm in the way, I can leave right now. I don't want to offend you." Ami mischievously blinked her big eyes, not looking at King Zhou, but at Linglong.

King Zhou was a little embarrassed by being teased, and smiled and told Linglong, "Don't pay attention to them, Aying and Ami are just two little rascals."

"Third Cousin is blushing." A Mi said to Princess Yongning in a "whispered voice".

Although it was a "quiet voice", everyone heard it clearly.

Princess Yongning smiled narrowly, "Well, I'm blushing."

Being teased by them, King Zhou and Linglong's faces turned pink like peach blossoms.

None of the four of them noticed that a sedan chair was coming towards them.

It is a small blue sedan chair carried by two people, with a maid standing on each side, depending on the quality of the clothes, which concubine's palace is the candidate.

Tang Xiaoming and the other palace maids saw it with their keen eyes. Seeing the clothes of the two palace maids, they couldn't help but feel a little strange: most of the concubines in the palace lived reclusively, but this one was different in front of King Zhou and Princess Yongning.

"I don't know which concubine's sedan chair it is." Tang Xiaoming replied to King Zhou and Linglong.

Linglong hadn't seen any concubine since entering the palace, she didn't know what the concubine left by the late emperor looked like, so she looked over curiously.

The sedan chair stopped, and the palace maid helped out from the sedan chair a concubine who was about five or sixty years old and surrounded by pearls and emerald greens. She must have been beautiful and elegant when she was young, but the years had left too deep marks on her face. Her complexion was dull, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, making her look rather old.

That's right, the deep palace is lonely, unaccompanied, lonely and deserted, it's strange that she can look young.

Concubine Jing got off the sedan chair, took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, and walked towards the pavilion.

Today, King Zhou and Princess Zhou are here, as well as the young, charming and kind-hearted Princess Yongning, and the little cousin who is much loved by King Zhou. This opportunity is so rare.Even though King Zhou is more cruel, Princess Zhou is more cold-hearted, but Princess Yongning and the little girl from Duke Chu's mansion are soft-hearted and kind-hearted, right?
Concubine Jing was walking in with a smile on her face, when she saw a beautiful face, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.

She opened her mouth wide open like a fool, and there was endless panic and fear in her eyes.

"Am I so scary?" Linglong reached out and touched her cheek, wondering.

Isn't it strange that this concubine, the first time I met her, she would stare at her—I'm obviously a beauty, okay, but she looks like she's seen a ghost.

Princess Yongning and A Mi were frightened by Concubine Jing's appearance, they held hands and snuggled together.

King Zhou's heart was filled with anger, "Where did this old woman come from, she looks weird, don't scare little Lingdang and the two younger sisters!" He raised his hand and motioned to the servant, "Get this old woman away." The servant understood, Hurry up and ask Concubine Jing to avoid it.

Concubine Jing stared at Linglong, countless terrifying thoughts flashed through her mind, she knelt down on her knees suddenly, and wailed, "Queen, please spare me..."

Her wailing was very shrill and ear-piercing. King Zhou frowned, reached out and picked up a white and fat steamed bun from the plate in front of him, raised his hand, and the steamed bun drew an arc in the air, accurately It fell into Concubine Jing's mouth!

Concubine Jing's remaining words were blocked by this steamed bun.
