I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 42
Rong Sheng's words pulled Qu Lingxu's thoughts out of the shock, and she looked at Rong Sheng seriously, "My son, you will not be rewarded for nothing, I can't accept such a precious gift emotionally or rationally, you should still Take it back."

As soon as he heard that Qu Lingxu didn't want it, Rong Sheng became impatient and waved his hands again and again, "Xuxu, you saved my life, how can you say that you didn't succeed, and I moved this thing from the warehouse with the consent of my mother and grandmother." Yes, no, you can ask them later."

Forehead?
Qu Lingxu was shocked again.

Mrs. Zhongyong Hou actually came?

Such doubts did not last long, and soon the servants of the concierge came to inform that the old lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion and Princess Anle were visiting, and Qu Liancheng had invited him to the front hall to serve tea, so he asked himself to tidy up and see you later. guest.

Qu Lingxu nodded, summoned Yun Yi and Yun Xin to make up for herself, and took Rong Sheng to the front hall.

However, the old lady of the Zhongyong Houfu is a figure like Taijun She in the general of the Yang family. When she was young, she went to the battlefield with the late Lord Hou more than once to kill the enemy. She has a high prestige among the nobles of the family. What kind of face is it, now it's just because I accidentally bumped into and rescued Rong Sheng once, and now I come to thank you in person?
I always feel something is not right.

While thinking like this, he soon arrived at the front hall. Seeing Qu Lingxu's thoughtful look, Rong Sheng thought she was a little nervous, so he pulled Qu Lingxu's sleeve as soon as he entered the door, offering treasures. "Grandmother, this is Xuxu, isn't she beautiful?" After that, she added: "You must not be so serious as usual, scaring your future granddaughter-in-law."

……

Accustomed to Rong Sheng's out-of-the-ordinary speaking style, Qu Lingxu wasn't as amazed as before. He just raised his eyes and glanced quickly in the hall, because Mrs. Chen was invited by Mrs. Xiangyang Hou as a guest early in the morning, so Only Qu Liancheng sat at the top to welcome the guests, and on the left and right of the guest seats were Mrs. Zhongyonghou and Princess Anle respectively. Coincidentally, Qu Fengyan was also sitting with him at the bottom, drinking tea slowly. Seeing his gaze sweeping over, Glared angrily.

Qu Lingxu sneered secretly, this woman is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and she will never forget to brush her presence.

After calming down and looking up to the left, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou was wearing a dark red brocade gown embroidered with white cranes. The heroic spirit between her brows did not diminish in the slightest, which made people daunting. Only when she saw her precious grandson , he showed a loving smile like an ordinary old man, and lightly reprimanded: "You unruly monkey, hurry up and greet General Qu."

After being scolded by the old lady, Rong Sheng stuck out his tongue and made a face, but in the end he bowed his hands politely, "Rong Sheng pays respects to General Qu."

"Your Majesty, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy." Although Qu Liancheng is a first-rank general who guards the country, he has achieved today's achievements step by step through his own hard work.

After that, Qu Lingxu also greeted the old lady and Princess Anle respectively.

"She's a dignified and steady girl, and she really lives up to her reputation." The old lady looked Qu Lingxu up and down, seemed to understand why Rong Sheng insisted on marrying her, and nodded slightly.

"The old lady praised you, Lingxu is ashamed and dare not take it." After saying this, Qu Lingxu saluted again, and continued: "The son just sent four golden nanmu screens to Jianjiayuan, although Lingxu is not talented, But I also know that it is a priceless treasure, and I am really ashamed of it, so I ask the old lady to take it back."

"Since the things have been given away, there is absolutely no reason to take them back. Princess Xinyue refuses so much, but does she dislike the vulgar gift of the old man?" The old lady Zhongyonghou was not angry, but smiled with a faint appreciation. He looked at Qu Lingxu.

"The old lady was joking, Lingxu definitely didn't mean it, but she thought that she couldn't bear such a big gift, and she was terrified."

"It's nothing but a small gadget." The old lady sipped her tea and said casually.

Qu Lingxu wondered secretly, this old lady is really straightforward, she really deserves her reputation.

"Since it's the old lady's wish, you just keep it." Qu Liancheng thought for a while and said with a smile.

"Yes." Qu Lingxu glanced at Qu Liancheng, but it was inconvenient to explain the value of the screen, so she turned around and bowed to the old lady, gratefully said: "Since father asked, Lingxu has the audacity to accept it, thank you old lady."

"Xuxu, you can keep it at ease. If you don't want to part with it at that time, just come over as a dowry." Rong Sheng added, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to marry Qu Lingxu as soon as possible. He really couldn't hide his thoughts and went to his grandmother for help. Unexpectedly, his grandmother not only did not scold him like his mother, but also agreed to come with him to the general The meeting with Qu Lingxu was really beyond his expectation.

Seeing that the old lady and Princess Anle didn't intend to stop Rong Sheng, Qu Lingxu had an ominous premonition in her heart. She only hoped that the old lady would never propose a marriage in front of Qu Liancheng. She really didn't want to marry!
"A child, how dare the old lady and the princess come to thank you in person, you are too polite." Qu Liancheng smiled respectfully, as if he had raised such an excellent daughter by himself, Qu Lingxu sneered coldly. endlessly.

Although Qu Fengyan has never seen what the golden nanmu screen looks like, she also understands that the one who can make Qu Lingxu refuse in every possible way must be a rare treasure. For so many years, although she is a concubine, she has Qu Lingxu. Lian Cheng's favorite, food and clothing costs in the mansion are much better than Qu Lingxu's. How could Cheng imagine that in just a few days, the other party got so many things that she had never seen before!
And just now she was clearly sitting here with her, but the old lady and Princess Anle only treated her indifferently, and didn't pay much attention to her. After Qu Lingxu appeared, everyone's eyes stopped on each other, and they didn't even bother to give her the slightest bit. she……

Qu Fengyan was so angry that she was about to bleed, thinking that her mother had a broken leg, and now she was still lying on the bed, so angry that she wanted to peel off Qu Lingxu's skin and drink her Blood!

However, hate turns to hate. Qu Fengyan learned a lot after being defeated a few times before, and quickly covered up the sternness on his face, and said with a coquettish smile: "I heard that even the teahouse People who write operas regard the story of my sister as a story, and there are more than one person who goes to the opera every day. It can be seen that my sister's beauty is spread far and wide. When you get any treasure, don't forget to let your sister open her eyes too."

The words sounded like compliments, but Qu Lingxu understood that Qu Fengyan was mocking her for being too public. After all, few princes and nobles could allow the concubine in their mansion to become the talk of the common people after dinner.

However, she forgot that Mrs. Zhongyonghou is a more legendary woman than Qu Lingxu. The operas based on her have been circulated for many years and were once regarded as classics.

If not for the presence of so many people, Qu Lingxu would have burst out laughing, this person is so stupid, there is no cure.

Here, Qu Liancheng also heard something wrong in Qu Fengyan's words, and immediately turned cold, "Fengyan, it's none of your business here, go to Jinxiu Pavilion to take care of your aunt."

Qu Fengyan didn't realize the connection. When he heard this, he thought that Qu Liancheng was protecting Qu Lingxu, and he felt even more angry. His big eyes filled with tears, "Daddy, you promised to accompany me later. My daughter practiced swords."

Qu Lingxu, the little bitch, was just lucky for a while, why did she take all the limelight and steal her father's favor, she was not convinced!
I feel pity for Qu Fengyan's appearance of pear blossoms with rain, but now she is completely disgusted by Qu Liancheng's eyes. This daughter was so exquisite and clear before, but now she has no eyesight at all. And that Xu family, unexpectedly If it wasn't for the emperor's kindness to make such a big mess in the palace, how could he still be sitting in the position of a first-rank general of the country now!
Thinking of this, Qu Liancheng's complexion became even worse, and he said in a deep voice, "If you are told to go down, go down, there are so many words."

Qu Fengyan is his most valued daughter, and she will be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. If she doesn't take advantage of this to temper her temper now, there will be even more troubles in the future.

Of course, Qu Fengyan had no way of knowing this, only when Qu Liancheng no longer valued himself and rushed out of the main hall with tears in his eyes, the hatred for Qu Lingxu in his heart increased.

Qu Lingxu watched Qu Fengyan leave as if she was watching a play, but she had a worried look on her face, "Daddy, my sister is still young, and she speaks without meaning, so don't take it to heart..."

Still young?

Qu Fengyan is going to be late soon, okay?

Out of mind?

Who can prove it?It's not that you have no way to teach girls!
The faces of the old lady and Princess Anle couldn't help but froze again, but thinking about the purpose of coming here today, they couldn't hide it, they just smiled and said: "General Qu, I took the liberty to come here today, because I have something important to discuss with the general , I wonder if it is possible?"

Qu Liancheng was not a fool, he guessed something in his heart when he heard this, although he hesitated, the smile on his face was still undiminished, "Old lady, please tell me."

As for Qu Lingxu, she was startled for a while. She really underestimated this brat's ability. She even invited the old lady to move her. She only hoped that Qu Liancheng would see the benefits brought by her becoming a princess. Go ahead and push down this marriage that sounds like a joke.

Since the old lady was able to take the initiative to speak to Qu Liancheng, she naturally thought about her words, so she said with a smile: "Princess Xinyue saved Sheng'er, she is the benefactor of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and now the princess has reached the age of marriage, Although Sheng'er is younger, she is also the future heir of the Hou Mansion, so it's hardly an insult to the princess, what does General Qu think?"

……

I'm really afraid of what will happen, grandma, you are also an ancient person after all, can you stop accepting sibling love in such a fashion, it's really not good!
Qu Lingxu asked the sky silently and speechlessly, and...and he finally knew why this brat Rong Sheng had such a personality. With such an 'open and generous' grandma, why not raise a more free and unrestrained grandson... …
