first princess

Chapter 137 The Reunion (3)
According to Concubine De, this painting is a sacred object in Mobei. It was passed down by Concubine De's father to her favorite eldest daughter, Princess Nuomin. Later, Nuomin was murdered by an adulterer and forced to stay away from Mobei. "Folian" also lost its audio.These years, he has been looking for "Avalokitesvara Buddha Lotus". On the one hand, he wants to get the secret recipe of immortality, and on the other hand, he wants to find out the whereabouts of Nuo Min.

The acquaintance with Nuo Min was actually quite a coincidence. In that year, Queen Mobei was seriously ill and was in critical condition. Nuo Min was expelled from the royal family before, so she had to quietly return to Mobei, with a little girl who was about two or three years old by her side.Nuo Min accidentally bumped into the little princess's secret guard to kill Yu'er, so she rescued Yu'er.Afterwards, he found Nuo Min according to the map, and had a relationship with her for a period of time, but she left Mobei suddenly and cut off contact with him. This break lasted for more than ten years.

This painting belongs to Nuo Min, but it is in Shui Linglong's hands. Could Shui Linglong be the little girl who was with Nuo Min back then, Nuo Min's daughter?

But no matter how much he asked Yu'er about Shui Linglong's life experience, Yu'er insisted that she didn't know!

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Find out who the real mother of the crown prince is."

"Yes!"

A black shadow quietly jumped out of the study room, like a ghost, without a sound, and quickly disappeared into the blurred night.

Zhuge Liuyun put away "Avalokitesvara Buddha Lotus". Suddenly, his ears moved, and the sound of small footsteps and clothes rubbing came into his mind. His eyes darkened, and he said sharply, "Who?"

Liu Lu was shocked!The tray in my hand almost fell off!She walked to the door tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's the servant girl, the servant girl is here to change the medicine for the prince."

Zhuge Liuyun's expression softened a little, his tone was still cold, but less severe: "Come in."

Liu Lu quietly let out a sigh of relief. She thought she was very brave, but she always had the illusion of being out of breath in front of the prince. On a cold winter night, she broke out in a cold sweat.

She knelt beside Zhuge Liuyun, pulled up his trouser legs, uncovered the gauze, took off the original plaster, twisted the veil and scrubbed it, and then put on a new one. While doing this, she glanced at Zhuge Liuyun from the corner of her eye. The right hand with a row of teeth marks sighed secretly in his heart, regret, really regret!You shouldn't bite his hand, you should bite his neck and kill him!

After taking a long time to change the medicine, Liu Lu has no intention of leaving.

Zhuge Liuyun opened a book, and said casually, "If you have anything to say, just say it, and don't go around in circles if you want anything."

Liu Lu feels that although the prince is cheap, he is not without merits, for example, he is very generous!The medicine and supplements that the prince gave her father, such as ginseng antler and blood swallow, made even the old lady jealous.

Before returning to the palace, the old lady had a long talk with her, and tactfully expressed the next strategic strategy and central idea, which was roughly - you are so good to please the prince, and try to persuade the prince to save Shui Chenxiang out of the cold palace, your old lady and my younger brother, I Take full care of you, if not, this kind of "care" can also have another meaning.

But she has her own ideas and plans for this matter.

Threats, once you get addicted to this kind of thing, one will be two, and two will be three. This time, the old lady only asks her to help Shui Chenxiang get out of the limbo. Next time, she may not be able to threaten her to help Shui Chenxiang regain her son, and even more distant The future... is getting harder and harder to say!
Anyway, if you are asking the lord to do something, it is better to draw the salary from the bottom of the pot, so as to avoid future troubles forever!

Liu Lu kowtowed to Zhuge Liuyun, staring at her eyes and said: "I beg your lord...take the servant's family out of the Shangshu Mansion! You can put it in any Zhuangzi under the name of the lord's mansion!" Taking ten thousand steps back, she helped the concubine get out of the cold palace, Getting her family out of the Shangshu Mansion is not a combat-level task at all. The former is difficult for the prince, but the latter is easy. She is a fool not to choose the one that is most beneficial to her and the easiest to ask for!

Zhuge Liuyun's cold eyes fell on the top of her head, as if he was examining, but also as if he was simply watching.

Layers of cold sweat broke out from Liu Lu's back, for fear that the prince would reject her request.

After a while, Zhuge Liuyun called lightly: "Yu Zhong!"

Uncle Yu responded outside the door: "I know what to do."

Liu Lu was overjoyed, this is... promised her?
But soon, Liu Lu's eyes darkened, there must be a price...

Zhuge Liuyun stretched out his hand and touched her delicate face, the cold and sharp touch made Liu Lu shiver suddenly, she could clearly feel the thin calluses of his fingertips, he painted her eyes inch by inch, gently lingering.

"Go back, I'm resting."

Just when Liu Lu thought that Zhuge Liuyun really wanted to pamper her this time, Zhuge Liuyun suddenly withdrew his hand and gave an order lightly.

Liu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

In late November, the capital ushered in the first blizzard, and there were many people, gathering and dispersing, overnight, icicles hung from the eaves, and snow fell all over the ground.

In Tian'an Residence, Mother Qiao is reporting to the old matriarch the accounts and the proper size of the house: "...if you have no opinion on the dishes of the banquet, I will set it up. It's the Chinese New Year and the big wedding, and the courtyards are decorated in festive ways. That's good, I didn't buy enough New Year pictures and couplets last time, so I plan to go to the street again... The west of the mansion is not populated for a long time, and there is a lack of care. I'm afraid that there will be many guests on the wedding day, so I hired craftsmen and gardeners. In a few days, I will tidy up the west of the mansion..."

Mother Qiao told the old lady one by one, one by one, in detail.

After listening to the old lady, she picked up a corn candy and stuffed it into her mouth. After a while, Zhuge Yu finally lifted her "alarm" last night and allowed her to eat one piece of candy and three candies every day. She was overjoyed, finished eating happily, took a few sips of warm water, and then said with a smile: "You have helped the princess run the house for many years, and your arrangements must be good, so don't worry about it!"

These words were useful, and the smile on Qiao's mother's face was a little sincere: "Thank you, old lady, for your appreciation."

When Shui Linglong opened the curtain and entered the room, she happened to hear the conversation between the two. She patted the snowflakes on her waistcoat, and said with a smile on her face, "Mother Qiao is here! Is my mother and concubine feeling better? It's freezing cold Yes, is the charcoal burning in the house?"

Mother Qiao saluted Shui Linglong's blessed body, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The princess has improved a little, but there is still no wind. The princess doesn't like burning charcoal, and said she felt bored, so she simmered a few hand warmers and put them under the quilt."

"Is it like this in previous years?" Shui Linglong asked.

In previous years, there was a prince to accompany him, so it was not necessary.A trace of sadness flashed across Qiao's mother's eyes: "It's only like this this year, and it's probably related to illness."

Shui Linglong sat on the old matriarch's kang, smiled and called: "Grandma."

"Is it cold outside?" The old lady asked with concern as she touched her flushed face.

Shui Linglong blinked her bright eyes and said, "It was quite cold at first, but I broke out in sweat after walking."

Qiao's mother joked: "Young people are good, and they are strong!"

"That's true!" The old lady finished with a smile, looked at the candy corn on the plate, and wanted to eat it, but today's quota had been used up, so she smashed her mouth, peeled off the candy coating and fed it into Shui Linglong. In his mouth, "Oh! You can taste the sweetness for me!"

The whole room laughed!

Mother Qiao withdrew to run errands, and only the old lady, Mrs. Zhen, Zhuge Shu, Shui Linglong and Ping'er were left in the room.

After all, Mrs. Zhen was guilty. On that day, Liu Zhu overheard the prince and Liu Lu in the hallway. When he heard that Liu Lu had bitten the prince, he would rather die than follow him, so Uncle Yu drove Liu Zhu away.She just thought about it, Liu Lu's status is humble, but she is tough in her bones, if Liu Lu really would rather commit suicide than be the prince's woman, how would she be against the princess, and how would she provoke the relationship between the princess and Shui Linglong?That's why she sent someone to Shangshu Mansion overnight to tell Liu Lu's parents the news.

It was an anonymous letter, Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu shouldn't suspect her, they would only suspect that everything was secretly manipulated by the prince.

Not to mention, Zhen's luck this time, really took advantage of the loophole!Let's not talk about Zhuge Yu for now, he is just a maid, he doesn't care whether he lives or dies.

Shui Linglong, she really didn't know that Zhen Shi was the one who tipped off the news, but she knew that Liu Lu was deliberately "brought" to Zhuge Liuyun by Zhen Shi. Year!

After Shui Linglong ate the candy, she glanced at her eyes and said, "I haven't seen Shu'er these days, is the typhoid fever still not cured?"

Zhen's name was suddenly called, she was startled, and said with a smile: "No, that girl's needlework is too bad, I'll keep her in the room to imitate female celebrities."

The old matriarch curled her lips: "Don't tire her out too much, a little girl is prone to get sick from being bored all day long."

Zhen's heart turned cold. Sure enough, the first wife and the second wife are different. The first wife disciplines the children, but the old lady never interrupts. She just detains Shu'er for a few days, and the old lady is not very happy.

Shui Linglong changed the topic: "Miss Qiao is going to pass the door soon, I wonder if Second Aunt has chosen a yard for her?"

Zhenshi smiled brightly and said, "The Pingting Pavilion has been decided, it's spacious enough, and I've hired a craftsman to paint it."

Ping Ting Xuan is indeed the one with the best layout in the remaining courtyard, Shui Linglong smiled: "The construction has started, then... let's paint Miss Dong Jia's yard too! Miss Dong Jia will have to pass the door sooner or later. Decorating under Miss Qiao's nose, it's better to whitewash it now."

"This..." Mrs. Zhen hesitated, "Is it too early?"

Shui Linglong smiled and said: "Miss Qiao said that as long as she is pregnant, the king of Xu An County will take a concubine. One year at the latest, maybe Miss Qiao will be pregnant in three or two months. Isn't it easy for the eldest princess to conceive?"

Mrs. Zhen was tempted, and it was really troublesome to ask the craftsmen. Not only did the female relatives have to avoid them, but even the maids had to go around, and they had to arrange many people to supervise them in all directions along the way, lest the craftsmen accidentally meet with the ladies or maids alone. It is said that it will affect women's fame.Moreover, the construction noise was too loud, and the old lady slept too much during the day, so she was easily woken up.A one-off solution...is a good idea.

The old lady also thought of the last point, and immediately voted for it: "It's so noisy, let's finish it together, so as not to quarrel with me a second time!"

After leaving Tian'anju, Shui Linglong took Zhi Fan back to Mohe Courtyard, the snow stopped, the sky cleared up, the sun fell into the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

When the two passed by the back garden, they suddenly heard a low sob and begging for mercy, they couldn't help but stop and looked along the sound, only to see a beautiful woman wearing a dark purple slanted front jacket and a white tunic skirt. Beside a plum tree, the clothes are luxurious, not inferior to Shui Linglong's, and the beaded hairpins are simple in style, but they are expensive. With this outfit, even if you enter the palace to meet the queen, you will not be rude in the slightest.

"It's the servant girl who failed to protect Miss Zhaoyun! Please punish Miss Zhaoyun!" The little maid knelt in the snow, crying with tears all over her face.

Zhi Fan was taken aback for a moment, Liu Lu...how did she become Miss Zhaoyun?
Shui Linglong said lightly, "Zhaoyun, it's the word given by the prince." When a woman gets married, her husband can give the word, but she has never heard of a master giving a word to a maid, and she even ordered her servants to call her Miss, Zhuge Liu. Yun really loved her very much, "I heard that the lord has sent Zhao Yun's parents and younger brother to the Zhuangzi."

The cooked duck flew away, and I wonder if the old lady was so angry that she vomited blood.

Liu Lu sighed helplessly, put her bloody index finger into her lips to agree, looked at this ten-year-old girl who was so obedient, frowned and said: "It's none of your business, get up! What kind of lady am I? I'm a slave like you, don't kneel and kneel at every turn in the future, it makes me sick!"

Well, she is a cheap life, and she is not used to the extravagant life of such a little mistress.

Sighing, Liu Lu returned to the main courtyard with a basket full of plum blossom petals.

Zhifan wanted to stop her subconsciously, but was interrupted by Shui Linglong: "Forgot what Liu Lu said to you before leaving?"

"I'm always sorry afterwards, why didn't you leave yourself a way out beforehand? The biggest shortcoming of you is to curry favor with those who are far away and hurt the closest people. I've had enough of you, don't bother me in the future!"

Zhi Fan shrank his neck, and said resentfully: "She said angry words, I know."

Shui Linglong shook her head, looked at Zhao Yun's far away back, and said coldly: "Is it really just an angry remark? It was a waste of all her efforts!"

Zhi Fan didn't dare to say anything.Liu Lu is no longer Liu Lu, but the prince's new favorite, Zhao Yun, and he is too close to her, if the prince has any troubles in the future, or if she causes trouble, the eldest lady will be the first to be suspected The mastermind behind the scenes, she always thinks that she is the smartest one on weekdays, but sometimes she is not as thorough as Liu Lu.

She also looked at Liu Lu's back, feeling sad for Liu Lu, but actually a little envious and jealous. Her former best friend, like her, was a slave who ate the master's leftovers, but now she flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix. .

In the blink of an eye, it was December, the end of the year was approaching, and preparations for marriage were under way, so the mansion was busy.

Shui Linglong's old friend arrived as scheduled on a sunny afternoon. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and the husband and wife still need to work hard. Zhuge Yu intensified his efforts to sow seeds. Apart from hard work at night, he also sweated profusely during the day.

The harmonious sex life has greatly promoted the relationship and tacit understanding between husband and wife, Shui Linglong felt that Zhuge Yu could know what he wanted to do by raising her eyes!
"Miss! Let the slaves come!" Zhi Fan stopped Shui Linglong, and said earnestly, "Stepping on the ladder is dangerous, if you bump into it, the slaves can't explain to the prince."

Today is an auspicious day, Shui Linglong plans to paste all the couplets and New Year pictures, and hang up all the red cloths of the lanterns.The rest of the rooms were handed over to the servants, but she and Zhuge Yu's bedroom and study did not want to be handed over to others.Shui Linglong opened Zhi Fan's hand, and said quite confidently: "Stepping on a ladder can scare you? It's not like I haven't stepped on it before! Right, Mama Zhong?"

Finally, she smiled and looked at Mother Zhong.

Mother Zhong answered no, and it was no if she didn't answer.Madam and Miss also like to make New Year pictures and Spring Festival couplets in Zhuangzi. It is impossible to say that the eldest lady has not climbed, but it is different from the past. If the lady loses one hair, a series of servants will suffer accordingly!I still remember last month when the eldest lady was kicking shuttlecock in the outer courtyard, she accidentally fell down, and when Shi Zi came back, he ordered all the people present, including Zhi Fan, to be beaten five times...

Mother Zhong said: "Miss, there are many servants in the yard, you robbed them of their jobs, what are they doing?"

Shui Linglong smiled and said, "I won't fall, don't worry!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the ladder and began to climb up.

Zhuge Yu went down to the court, and as soon as he stepped across the hall, he saw her stepping on the ladder, leaning out half of her petite body, gently smoothing the banner of the Spring Festival couplets with his white and tender hands, he frowned with thick eyebrows, his face was ugly: "Come down!"

When everyone heard this, they turned around and knelt down.

Shui Linglong scolded him in her heart, appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, and didn't say hello in advance, so scared that she almost fell off!But she still understands the simple truth of saving face for her husband in front of outsiders.She held back her displeasure and showed a sweet smile: "I want to post it myself."

Zhuge Yu's anger dissipated little by little in her soft and sweet smile, he walked over, stood still by the door, hugged Shui Linglong without saying a word, and let her sit on his right shoulder above, and raised her right arm to support her waist.

Everyone was stunned, letting a woman ride on him, this...isn't this...too shocking?
Shui Linglong was obviously also shocked. When Zhuge Yu grasped her waist generously, she thought he would hug her to the ground, but who would have thought that he would... pamper her like this.

Proud, no?
Sweet, isn't it?
Shui Linglong chuckled, lowered her head, and winked her right eye mischievously at him, showing three points of cunning, two points of innocence, with a hint of gratitude and admiration.

He took the small brush dipped in the paste from Zhifan and continued to paste the Spring Festival couplets.

Thinking of being crushed to death by him at night, she finally had a chance to suppress him, and she would never let it go.

From the bedroom to the study, to the side room and the side room, Shui Linglong sat on Zhuge Yu's shoulder and stuck it all the way.

Zhuge Yu saw that she was having fun, so he curled his lips and said, "Is the air up there particularly good?"

Shui Linglong blinked, looked at the couplet and said solemnly: "Yes!"

Zhuge Yu's left hand went around her back, pinching her chubby little butt viciously.

Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched: "Enough posting!"
