first princess

Chapter 150: Good news from heaven (2)
Shui Linglong nodded and sat down.The little maid offered a cup of tea, Shui Linglong took it with both hands, but she didn't drink it, as she doesn't like bitter taste recently.She looked at the Buddhist beads that the queen kept touching, and said with a smile, "This Buddhist beads are really exquisite."

The queen's face showed a joyful look: "It's the annual gift from the third princess. Lord Long Live and I are in a group. I heard that the eminent monk from Putuo Temple was invited to perform the consecration."

Poof--Shui Linglong almost laughed out loud, she really can whitewash the peace, the third princess left the temple, but the queen made two strings of Buddhist beads to show the merits of the third princess, so it is very important to have a strong mother, this kind of If the situation happened to other princesses, the ending would not be so optimistic.

Shui Lingyu's eyelash feathers trembled in an irregular rhythm, alas, she actually wanted to praise her, but she was afraid that she would offend the queen, and she really regretted not being bolder.

The queen laughed again and said: "It's freezing cold, my aunt caught the wind and cold, and the princess went back to Leng's house to take care of her illness. The old matriarch has no objections, right?"

The old lady put a curse on the servants in the mansion about Leng Youru's matter, and they were not allowed to reveal a single word, but she didn't announce the reason to the public. This excuse should be thought up by the Leng family.The queen's father, Yao Sheng, and Leng Youru's mother, Yao Xinyu, are brothers and sisters. Isn't the queen just Leng Youru's cousin?Shui Linglong didn't believe that the queen didn't know the inside story, so asking this question was probably testing the Zhuge family's attitude.

Shui Linglong put down the teacup, and said gently: "If you go back to your mother, do whatever the old matriarch says."

The queen paused for a moment holding the finger of the Buddhist bead, and said otherwise: "The old lady is very open-minded. My cousin often praises the old lady in front of me. She is the only good mother in the world. How much is she who can be happy at the old lady's knees?" The blessings I have cultivated in my life." This time, I changed my name to "cousin".

Shui Linglong only felt a strong coercion coming towards her face. She subconsciously wanted to win the opponent in the aura field. Everyone must submit to her, anyone who challenges her, whoever opposes her, whoever doesn't take her seriously, is all a thorn in her side!What about Empress Yao?Didn't he kneel at her feet and beg her to let the young Seventh Prince go?The defeated general in the previous life dared to demonstrate to her naked in this life, courting death!
However, the inner demon only appeared for a moment, and she recalled that the present was not what it used to be, that she was not Xun Feng's executioner, but Zhuge Yu's wife, and the queen was not an enemy, and could barely be called an ally, after all, they shared a common goal. Opponent - Xun Feng.Pushing her thoughts back to the depths of her soul bit by bit, the corners of Shui Linglong's mouth slightly raised: "Yes, to cherish the blessings in the body, my concubine taught me this truth."

The queen glanced coldly, and said with a flicker in her eyes: "It's rare for you to come to the palace, go and see the concubine Zhen later, I remember that the concubine Zhen likes the collection of embroidery, and it just so happens that the Shang Palace Bureau has released a new batch of different embroidery products. Madam Jiang can choose Hunan embroidered silk handkerchiefs in different colors for my concubine Zhen."

Mo Ju walked to Shui Lingyu very cooperatively, and said with a smile, "Madam Jiang, please!"

Shui Lingyu looked complicatedly at the smiling queen, then at the calm Shui Linglong, and left Baicui Pavilion with Eunuch Zhang. There is only this strong woman and Zhang Gonggong left.The queen's smile gradually faded, and a trace of wantonness appeared between her brows: "The prince often praises Miss Shui for being talented and noble, which is by no means comparable to ordinary women. I don't know how Miss Shui evaluates herself?"

Shui Linglong thought for a while, and said calmly and calmly: "Everyone looks at things from different angles and draws different conclusions. His Royal Highness is virtuous and talented, and often looks at people with tolerance, but my wife does not dare to judge others with intelligence. Gao Jie thinks of herself."

"You can openly question your mother-in-law, you are not so timid." The queen smiled lightly, her eyes were dark, like a bottomless black pool, slowly reflecting the cold light, Zhang Gonggong was secretly startled, the queen has always Emotions and anger are not visible, and Shi Zifei is the first one who can force the queen to look like this in a few words.

Shui Linglong lowered her eyes and said nothing, she was tougher than anyone else in this matter, anyway, the queen didn't dare to do anything to her except to show both kindness and power in words.

The corner of the queen's mouth twitched, and she said again: "You are a sensible person, so I will open the skylight with you to speak frankly. For the time being, I believe in the old matriarch's determination of whether the incident is true or not, but the Leng family is the first family of the Zhou Dynasty , what offending Leng's family will bring to the Zhenbei Palace, you have to weigh it."

Shui Linglong remained silent.The queen wants to slap her!Anyway, give me a word, making her sing a one-man show like an idiot!The queen's throat slipped, and said: "Furthermore, the marriage between Kashiqing and the Leng family is of great significance. If one fails, at least, both parties will become the laughing stock of the Great Zhou; at worst, the two parties will go to war and affect the current situation. These As the future mistress of the Zhenbei Palace, you should think carefully about the stakes. I appreciate your character very much and intend to have more contacts with you. You must not let down my painstaking efforts."

Shui Linglong said this time: "Yes, thank you." No further words!

The queen almost died!Who did you learn this skill of not getting in oil and salt?After all, she is the queen of a country, and now that she's talking about it, doesn't she know how to go downhill and sell a favor to the mother of a country?

Shui Linglong sees it this way, the queen owes her a very good favor, very good, so good that it makes people happy and encouraging, if she has three diseases and two disasters in the distant future, the queen will be able to relieve her one by one.But the problem is, if she sells without conscience today, she will be able to sell the country with a heartless heart in the future, and she can't lose this thing for a minute.Therefore, resolutely do not get on the queen's thief ship.

In the end, the queen was defeated: "Okay, let's go see your fourth sister!"

Shui Linglong got up and bowed: "Yes, my wife is leaving."

Just as she was about to turn around, the little palace maid reported outside the door: "De imperial concubine please see me!"

The queen almost didn't think about it, so she said coldly: "This palace is exhausted, and I won't have any guests today! Zhang He, send the concubine to the Millennium Palace!"

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, Concubine De is the Queen's confidant, the relationship between the two has always been close, how could the Queen show such uncontrollable coldness?Did the empress turn her anger on Concubine De because she was angry with her, or... did she really annoy Concubine De?
Eunuch Zhang sent Shui Linglong and Shui Lingyu at the door to the Millennium Palace. As soon as Eunuch Zhang left, Shui Lingyu held Shui Linglong's hand and said mysteriously: "Elder sister, did the empress dismiss me just now?" Good to talk to you?"

Shui Linglong: "Yes."

Shui Lingyu turned her beautiful eyes, broke the casserole and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Shui Linglong glared at her, remembering that she made the old lady angry like that, and tried to use her as a shield, Shui Linglong didn't have any good looks to show her.

Shui Lingyu hit a soft nail, she was unwilling but she could only say indifferently: "You are capable, you are the eldest concubine of the palace, I am just an official's imperial wife!"

No matter how you hear these words, there is a sense of showing off in a sour tone. Indeed, Shui Linglong's imperial order was given by the palace, but she earned her own imperial order. Therefore, she felt that her waist was straighter.

Shui Linglong laughed: "I know you're still chirping, but it's not a sparrow on a tree!"

Shui Lingyu frowned and said: "You can bully me vigorously, and when Fourth Sister bullies you later, I will never help!"

Shui Linglong ignored her, and stepped into the Millennium Palace. The two first went to the main hall to meet the biological mother of the eldest princess—Ji Zhaoyi, who was promoted to a new position, and presented a meeting gift before going to Shui Lingyue's moon. Huadian.

The two of them had just walked around the corridor and walked through a small garden to enter the Yuehua Palace. They met Liang Guiren, who was dressed in fancy clothes, at the door. Seeing her hurried look, she seemed to be going out. What a coincidence. , Shui Lingyue's personal maid, Si Xi, accidentally bumped into her.It can't be called a collision, because Si Xi stopped the car in time and knelt aside, only touching a piece of sleeve.But Liang Guiren raised his hand and slapped him across the face: "Blind your dog eyes! Where is the palace? Is it a vegetable market? The mud can't support the wall!"

Liang Guiren snorted coldly, and walked out of the Millennium Palace from the path opposite.Shui Lingyu opened her mouth wide in surprise, that person just now must be Mrs. Liang, she couldn't figure it out, how could she dare to slap the concubine's maid with her status as Mrs. Liang?

As soon as Si Xi looked up, he saw the two aunts standing at the end of the small garden, their faces turned pale, and Fu leaned down: "My maidservant, send my regards to the eldest aunt and the third aunt!"

The two walked towards Si Xi, Shui Linglong looked at her condescendingly, and said seriously, "Liang Guiren has always been so arrogant?" The memory of Liang Guiren still stays in the time when she visited Shui Chenxiang in the palace last spring. The nobleman was quite arrogant, but he didn't expect the other party to be so arrogant.

Si Xi lowered his brows and said falteringly: "It's not... all the time."

So, it started recently, and it's been a few days.Shui Linglong blinked slowly: "Why don't you report to Lady Zhaoyi and ask her to uphold justice?"

Si Xi's eyes were red: "Even though Lady Zhaoyi is the empress of the Millennium Palace, she is not enough to see in the turbulent palace..."

Can't get enough of the palace?In this way, Liang Guiren has found a solid and powerful backer, so he has nothing to fear.The first thing Shui Linglong thinks of is the imperial concubine, except that the imperial concubine can run amok in the palace with her status as the empress, who else can be so arrogant?But the rules of survival in the harem told Shui Linglong that status is not a very reliable thing, could it be that Shui Lingyue...

With doubts, Shui Linglong and Shui Lingyu entered the inner hall of Shui Lingyue. Shui Lingyue sat on the main seat, wearing a gorgeous purple palace dress inlaid with gold thread and pearls, and her hair was combed with hair that was beyond her age. She has a mature hair bun, a pair of violet gold hairpins, three plum blossom gold hairpins, and some small and unique pearl flowers. She wears four gold-plated bracelets on her bright wrists, which match the necklace of the same color on her neck. She is full of wealth and honor. pressing.A hint of amazement flashed in Shui Lingyu's eyes.Shui Lingyue caught her expression, smiled contentedly, looked at Shui Linglong again, but couldn't smile anymore.

Shui Linglong looked at Shui Lingyue as if she was looking at a puppet that was casually thrown aside when she was tired of playing with it, with a slight sarcasm. When a person has to reflect his value and status through gorgeous clothes, she no longer has these two things up.

"Auspicious concubine Zhen." The two saluted Shui Lingyue, and Shui Lingyue returned half a salute to Shui Linglong, glanced at Si Xi, who had red and swollen cheeks, and scolded embarrassingly, "Are you recklessly bumping into someone again?" I told you earlier that the imperial palace is not a minister’s residence, so you have to put on all your energy, but you keep ignoring my words again and again, and you didn’t do much, but caused a lot of troubles! I told Lady Zhaoyi and nobleman Liang that anyone in my palace who makes mistakes in the future will be beaten to death! The punishment you received today is considered light, so step back and think about it!" After saying that, he turned his head again Looking at Shui Linglong and Shui Lingyu, she pretended to be peaceful and said with a smile: "Today is my sister's reunion, eldest sister and third sister don't be polite to me, sit down quickly."

Shui Lingyu almost thought that she had misunderstood the wrong person, the daughter of a noble concubine who only humiliated Shui Lingxi but called them around... Is it really this gentle and courteous concubine in front of her?
Shui Lingyu has become more and more difficult to hide her impatience, but Shui Lingyue has restrained her temperament day by day. It can be seen that the influence of living environment on a person is fatal.Shui Linglong's cold eyes swept away, and she asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, where is the twelve princes?"

"Your Majesty, look, Twelve laughs so happily!" In Chengde Palace, Concubine De sat on the lap of the emperor holding the nearly half-year-old Twelve Prince, and asked with a charming smile.

The emperor put his arms around Concubine De's shoulders with one hand, squeezed the pink face of the twelve princes with the other, and smiled: "Yeah, he smiles as cute as our Eleven."

The eleventh prince rushed over, kissed his younger brother first, and then raised a childish smile and said, "Is the father praising the minister, or the twelve younger brother?"

The emperor laughed out loud: "Father is praising you two!"

"Then... is it the cuter son or the twelfth brother?" The eleventh prince asked very seriously.

Concubine De's face changed slightly, for fear that the emperor might suspect that she taught her this, but in fact, she really didn't!
But the emperor was in a great mood. He touched the eleventh emperor's forehead and said with a smile, "Eleventh is the cutest! Endorsement is better than your tenth and ninth brothers. Father loves hardworking children!"

The eleventh prince hugged the emperor's neck and slapped him hard on the face, which made the emperor burst into laughter again.

"Eleven really likes his younger brother, but the concubine always wants the concubine's child to accompany Eleven in Chengde Palace, is it too selfish?" Concubine De smiled and looked at the emperor, and the emperor said, "Ten One is too lonely, it’s good to have a younger brother to accompany him, and it’s also good for Twelve, and Twelve falls in love with you, if you hug him, he won’t cry.”

"Your Majesty, Concubine De, Mrs. Liang is asking to see you." Xiao Anzi reported softly at the door.

As soon as the emperor's smile faded away, he was not very happy!
Concubine De was delighted to see it in her eyes, but she still said softly: "I was negligent. I have always heard that sister Liang is good at calligraphy, and I wanted to ask him to teach her calligraphy, but I didn't expect..." bowed her head , Smile shyly!
"Didn't expect me to come to see you?" the emperor asked jokingly.

Concubine De looked at the twelfth prince who was spitting out milk bubbles in her arms, and whispered shyly: "Your majesty, you have been here for seven days in a row, and my concubine is like a dream, so I dare not expect extravagantly today."

This kind of honor and favor is comparable to that of Concubine Yu back then.

The emperor said: "Let nobleman Liang come in to accompany Eleven to practice calligraphy, and you and I will take Twelve to the greenhouse."

"It's so good." Concubine De leaned closer to the emperor, taking advantage of the Eleventh Prince's inattention, and gave him a soft kiss. The emperor was overjoyed, and the eyes he looked at her were a little more doting.

Liang Guiren tidied up her appearance and entered the inner hall, bowed to the emperor and concubine De, expecting the emperor to see her beauty, but the emperor didn't even raise her eyelids, she frowned in disappointment, and looked at her again. Concubine De, Concubine De resignedly shrugged her shoulders, and said, I have created an opportunity for you, and you are the one who cannot impress the emperor.

Liang Guiren gritted his teeth and led the eleventh prince to the small study to practice calligraphy. The emperor hugged Concubine De, who was holding the twelfth prince, and went to the flower room of Chengde Palace.

It is said to be a flower room, but it is actually a different kind of bedroom where a hundred flowers bloom and is as warm as spring. Lady Xin carried the twelve princes out, leaving the fragrant hall to the imperial concubines...

Shui Lingyue's long eyelashes trembled violently, her hands buried under her wide sleeves clenched into fists, her eyes flashed, and she tried her best to speak in a normal tone: "Oh, it's like this, Concubine De asked me to take the Twelfth Prince to Chengde Palace Juju, isn't this you and the third sister here? I'll let Lady Xin take the Twelfth Prince there."

Shui Linglong made a gesture to get up: "Oh, we have delayed your business, you can go to Chengde Palace, without the mother and concubine to accompany, maybe the twelve princes will make a fuss."

Shui Lingyue grabbed Shui Linglong's sleeve and said with a sneer: "No, Concubine De has experience, and Lady Xin is here, Twelve is good. Besides, Concubine De and I see each other every day, but you and Third Sister I can't come here often, it's more worthwhile for us sisters to catch up with each other."

Shui Linglong and Shui Lingyu stayed behind, and the three of them chatted all over the world. Shui Lingyu's brain was lost by Governor Jiang, and the more she lived, the more she went back, and she asked Shui Lingyue a lot of questions that made Shui Linglong blush For some reason, Shui Lingyue answered one by one, including some eunuchs and maids, eunuchs and concubines, concubines and concubines, or concubines and concubines. Shui Lingyue also knew everything.

Shui Lingyu's curiosity was greatly satisfied, and at the end, she added: "Fourth sister, have you resolved loneliness with anyone?"

Shui Linglong choked on a mouthful of warm water, she deserved it, Shui Lingyue!
Mostly women are really lonely, and the three of them obviously don't like each other, but they chatted enthusiastically, like a best friend who has been away for many years, and like a sister born from a mother's womb.

Soon it was time for lunch, and the twelve princes still hadn't returned. Shui Lingyue asked someone to set up a meal, among which the queen rewarded Shui Linglong and Shui Lingyu with six delicacies: white meat with garlic paste, smoked rabbit legs, fried king oyster mushrooms Dried scallops, stir-fried mango maw, braised eggplant in soy sauce and dry pot tea tree mushroom.
