first princess

Chapter 160 The Fate of the Palace (2)
The old matriarch's eyes swept away, and everyone in the room was watching their noses and noses, as if they didn't notice the conversation between her and Zhuge Xiaotian, she thought that she was not ashamed.She smiled shyly, and leaned towards Zhuge Xiaotian: "Okay, okay, the exercise is up to you, and the previous thing is up to me, how about it?"

"Not so good!" Zhuge Xiaotian said.

The old matriarch hit a snag, and pouted unwillingly!

When Shui Linglong and Zhuge Yu entered the room, they just heard the last two sentences, and their brows twitched slightly. What happened before made the old lady so interested?
"What are you doing there? Hurry up and come in!"

In fact, Shui Linglong was only slightly stunned for a breath when she heard this conversation before opening the curtain, and Zhuge Xiaotian couldn't wait to throw an annoyed scolding, and Shui Linglong got her second impression of the old man: Impatient!

Zhuge Yu's expression turned ugly, Shui Linglong patted his hand to show that she didn't take it to heart.Zhuge Yu has even disobeyed Zhuge Liuyun many times, but when talking about the old man, she couldn't hide a trace of respect and solemnity. As Zhuge Yu's wife, she didn't want to make things difficult for him.

When the two entered the main room, Shui Linglong deliberately dropped Zhuge Yu's shoulders to highlight the dignity of men and women.Usually, Zhuge Yu directly took her hand to enter.Zhuge Yu held her left hand behind her back and made a "yeah" gesture to her. Shui Linglong secretly laughed, but her face was as calm as water.

"Grandpa and grandma." Zhuge Yu bowed his hands politely.

It was the first time Shui Linglong saw the old man, and she knelt down and said, "Greetings to grandpa and grandma!"

Only then did Zhuge Xiaotian begin to look at the young woman in front of him as a concubine who was the high concubine of the imperial concubine. She had a fair complexion and was very clean; her eyes were shining, and she was very delicate... She looked easy to get along with.But when he thought about the weird deeds of the Shangshu Mansion he found, he felt that someone who could deal with his aunt and sisters and handle his own marriage... would not be a simple character.

Shui Linglong has been silently watching the one-foot territory in front of her, feeling that Zhuge Xiaotian's eyes have gradually become sharper from the initial lightness, like an unsheathed sword, approaching her bit by bit, stopping at her Between the eyebrows, it seemed that she wanted to take her life at any time without any symptoms and no reason!

Shui Linglong came to her third impression of Zhuge Xiaotian: be on guard!

Zhuge Xiaotian narrowed his sharp eyes: "Sit down!"

The old lady was relieved, just now he stared at Linglong with such cold eyes, she thought he was not satisfied with Linglong!

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Shui Linglong thanked without being surprised, and sat down with Zhuge Yu on the right side chair, but there were two vacant chairs at the first place.Shui Linglong was slightly taken aback again, one seat was for Zhuge Liuyun, and the other was for...

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhen arrived with the members of the second room.Mrs. Zhen, King An, Qiao Hui and Zhuge Shu saluted Zhuge Xiaotian one by one. Zhuge Xiaotian said "Yes", and they sat on the left side chair according to their seniority.

Shui Linglong noticed that Qiao Hui's face was extremely pale, as if she had been frightened by some kind of shock, Shui Linglong followed Qiao Hui's peripheral vision, and then quietly sized up Zhuge Xiaotian's appearance.He has a long face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very high nose bridge, like a proud mountain. The forehead lines are very deep, which shows that he often frowns, and the wrinkles on both sides of the nose are less. In the shadow of Zhuge Liuyun, he should have been a handsome and beautiful boy when he was young.

Zhuge Xiaotian's cold eyes swept away, and he said seriously: "Since everyone is here, I have a few things to announce! First, from tomorrow, everyone will participate in morning exercises and have meals together; The province cannot be left behind; three, peaceful coexistence!"

Before Shui Linglong and the others realized the meaning of the last item, Zhuge Xiaotian called out to the side room, "Come out yet?"

Everyone showed a little hesitation, you look at me, I look at you, they don't know who Zhuge Xiaotian called out.

Immediately afterwards, a surprising scene appeared——Zhuge Liuyun walked out of the side room expressionlessly. Behind him was Leng Youru, who hadn't seen him for a long time, with a cold face!
Everyone was startled!Leng Youru was obviously kicked out of the palace by the old matriarch, and now...is she back?It was only then that everyone realized what the old man meant by the last sentence. They hated Leng Youru, and they were bound to be unwilling to accept her from the bottom of their hearts. That's why the old man gave the death order - peaceful coexistence!Half of the people in the room have been tricked by Leng Youru, so it's no wonder everyone is willing to live in peace with her!
There was no movement in Leng's house for a long time, Shui Linglong guessed that the matter of Leng Youru would not end so easily, but she never expected that Leng Youru was taken back to the mansion by the old man!

Qiao Hui's eyeballs moved slightly. It seems that there is no major conflict between the second room and the princess. The princess should not open fire on the second room...

Zhuge Shu glanced at Leng Youru, children can't empathize with adults' grievances, she is a person with less resistance.

As for the men present, probably no one feels at ease.

And the one who is the most disturbed is the Zhen family, not because the Zhen family resented Leng Youru's scheme to sow discord, but...

Zhuge Xiaotian said indifferently: "Well, don't bring up the previous matter again! From now on, no one is allowed to make trouble! No one is allowed to play tricks! Everyone is a friendly family, do you understand?"

Everyone resisted the various emotions in their hearts, got up and said: "Understood."

Zhen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't mention returning the power of middle donation to the princess!

At nightfall, everyone had dinner together, no matter how complicated or disgusted the eyes from all sides were, Leng Youru was very calm, and sometimes would give Zhuge Liuyun some food, Zhuge Liuyun ate it as usual, As if the previous framing never happened, they are still a husband and wife who have respected each other for more than [-] years.

After dinner, Zhuge Liuyun took Leng Youru's hand and went for a walk in the garden.Qiao Hui's eyes almost fell out!After finally waiting for the old lady to take her two grandchildren to the study to chat, Qiao Hui finally couldn't help but express her doubts from the bottom of her heart out of curiosity: "Grandma, grandma, what happened to the prince and princess? Is there a new discovery about the poisoning of the prince?" ? Or... we all misunderstood the princess?"

The old lady wrapped the tassel around her waist and said nothing!
Zhuge Shu couldn't stand the incitement the most. When Qiao Hui asked, she rolled up the old lady's sleeves: "Grandma, tell me! Did Grandpa come to Beijing to bring Auntie back home? Why?"

Shui Linglong and Zhen's also revealed a faint expression.The old matriarch couldn't hold back the enthusiastic expectations of the crowd. After furrowing her eyebrows, she sighed unwillingly: "A hateful person must have pity. Besides, she was deceived to commit many crimes. Fortunately, everyone Everyone who should be happy is happy, Xiaoxi and Linglong have children one after another, the prince's poison is cleared, the most unfortunate...is her!"

The life experiences of Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Xi were not revealed, nor was the cause of Zhuge Yan's death mentioned. According to the old matriarch, Qiao Hui, Shui Linglong, and Zhuge Shu were unaware of these complicated entanglements.Zhuge Shu really didn't know, but Qiao Hui and Shui Linglong blinked at the same time, and then lowered their eyes at the same time.

After Zhuge Liuyun and Leng Youru walked around the garden, Leng Youru followed Zhuge Liuyun back to the main courtyard.After entering the bedroom, Leng Youru undressed Zhuge Liuyun as if nothing had happened, intending to wait for him to take a bath.Zhuge Liuyun took her hand away and said coldly: "That's enough! The old man's eyeliner can't reach here, so you don't have to be hypocritical!"

Leng Youru took a breath, her eyelashes trembled in an irregular rhythm, but she didn't seem to feel Zhuge Liuyun's disgust, and said softly: "I am serving the prince to take a bath."

"Say no!" Zhuge Liuyun said angrily, then turned and walked into the clean room.Leng Youru followed closely behind, but when she was about to lean into the door, she was locked outside with a "bang".

When Zhuge Liuyun came out, Leng Youru was laying a quilt, Zhuge Liuyun was used to normal temperature, and there was no earth dragon burning in the house, so Leng Youru added an extra quilt for him.

Zhuge Liuyun said coldly: "Leng Youru, you have never been virtuous in 20 years, and you suddenly pretended to be so realistic, how determined are you? You want me to relax my vigilance so you can hurt me again, right? "

Leng Youru straightened up, turned her face to face him, she touched the cold quilt with her bare hands and it turned red from the cold, she squeezed it, trying to warm up her fingers that were about to become stiff: "No." Her tone was the same as usual!
"You can go back to your own courtyard! It's really not possible. There are countless rooms in the main courtyard. You can choose one at random, and don't hang around in front of me!" After speaking in Ruohantan's voice, Zhuge Liuyun sat at the small desk, and then picked up A book begins to open.

Leng Youru kept silent, took a towel and walked behind him, and wiped his wet hair.Zhuge Liuyun slapped the book on the table, and grabbed her wrist: "What evil have you got? Where has your dignity and pride gone? I let you go, do you hear that? Don't chase you around like a fly, and don't force me to say worse things!"

His strength was so strong that Leng Youru's wrist instantly turned red, the blood seemed to be blocked and unable to circulate, and the five fingers swelled little by little.Leng Youru continued to rub his hair with the other hand that was not imprisoned, and said calmly: "From now on, I will sleep with you."

Zhuge Liuyun turned his head and glared at her fiercely, his eyes were so sharp that he almost tore her delicate skin apart: "Sleeping with you, Leng Youru, I feel very disgusted!"

Leng Youru is a human being, not a puppet. She can cry, laugh, get angry, and be happy. She can bear one run and two runs, but the last sentence is really heartbreaking. Fluctuation: "I've been sick for 20 years, and you've only been sick for one day, and you can't take it anymore, it's ridiculous!"

"You..." Zhuge Liuyun stood up vigorously, remembering the hug between her and Yun Li at the Lantern Festival, Zhuge Liuyun didn't want to believe it and believed it at this time, "Since being with me is disgusting, you are now Why force yourself? Didn’t you like living in Buddhist halls before? Why don’t you go today? With your face, only the mercy of a Bodhisattva can tolerate a little bit, I’m going to have a nightmare!”

Leng Youru felt that her right wrist must be broken, because she could no longer feel the pain in her palm and fingers.She stared at her shoe uppers indifferently, no matter how much Zhuge Liuyun ridiculed her, she would not refute even a word.

Zhuge Liuyun felt as if he had punched the cotton with his fist. Not only did he not feel relieved when he cursed out, but he was even more disturbed!He shook off Leng Youru's hand and stepped onto the bed.

Leng Youru stiffened her right arm and silently went to the cleaning room.When she finished washing and came out, the curtains on the bed had already been drawn down.She rubbed her right wrist, which was swollen like a bun, and walked gently towards the bed.Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped on the pedal, a quilt flew out from the gap in the curtain and hit her all over the face.She subconsciously tilted her head to avoid it, and stretched out her arms reflexively to catch it firmly.Zhuge Liuyun's meaning is obvious, it's not impossible for you to stay in my room, but you can decide where to sleep, in short, it can't be my bed!

This room is simple and clean, with not much furniture, not even the simplest soft couch.Leng Youru frowned, hesitated for a long time holding the quilt, and finally spread it out on the cold ground, half covered and half covered.

On a January night, it was extremely cold. In the master bedroom of Tian'anju, a warm earth dragon was burned. The old lady was still shivering from the cold. She sat on the head of the bed and tightened the thick cotton covering her waist Being, said worriedly: "Oh, how can you let Leng Youru and Liuyun live in the same room? You are not afraid that she will be fierce in the middle of the night and just stab her..." The following words are unlucky, so I can't say them out!
Zhuge Xiaotian squinted at her, and said with disdain: "If Liuyun falls into the hands of the same woman twice, then he deserves to die!"

When the old lady heard this, she became anxious: "You have no conscience! How can you curse your son to die? Let me tell you, if there is something wrong with my son, I will also hit him to death! After drinking Mengpo soup on Huangquan Road, I will be reincarnated without waiting for you to come down to find me, but I have never followed anyone in this life!"

"Look, look, you cry, make trouble and hang yourself, like that ignorant shrew, are you ashamed?" Zhuge Xiaotian scolded, raising his hand to wipe the tears off her face.

The old lady refused to let go: "I don't care, I don't want my son to share a room with a crazy woman!"

Zhuge Xiaotian stared at her, and said solemnly: "I used to think that you are simple, not as thoughtful as those jealous women. I didn't expect you to be so heartless!"

The old lady's crying stopped abruptly: "You..."

Zhuge Xiaotian waved his hand: "Let's leave you, me and me, you are also a mother yourself, let me ask you, how would you feel if you were sterilized after giving birth?"

The old matriarch thought for a while and said, "I'm sad, no, it's all hopeless, I can no longer have children, and I can't be considered a complete woman."

Zhuge Xiaotian pointed to himself: "Then, your only son, Zhuge Liuyun, died because of his in-law's eccentricity, and your husband, that is, I, comforted you a few words, then turned around and hugged Zhuge Liufeng while riding a horse." Archery, practicing calligraphy and memorizing poems, how do you feel?"

The old matriarch's face suddenly darkened: "You have no conscience, my son is dead, and you actually hold another woman's son against me! If you dare to do this, I... I will kill you at the risk of my life!"

"You can kill, but Leng Youru can't?" Zhuge Xiaotian asked back.

The old lady's eyes widened and she stopped talking.Zhuge Xiaotian said again: "Let me ask you again, if it was Xiaoyu who poisoned Liuyun this time, would you also drive Xiaoyu out of the house?"

"Of course not! Xiaoyu is my own grandson! No matter how big a mistake he made, even if he killed me, I wouldn't be willing to blame him." The old lady spoke, tears streaming down again come out.

Zhuge Xiaotian said earnestly: "Then why are you willing to blame Leng Youru? Isn't it because although you tolerate her on the surface, you don't regard her as your relatives from the bottom of your heart, let alone regard her as indispensable to Zhuge's family?" Not only you, everyone is the same! If you don’t regard her as a relative, how can she regard the palace as her own home? It’s just that you bear me and I bear you, and the volcano will erupt one day. .”

"I...she..."

"You are Liuyun's biological mother, and she is Yan'er's biological mother. Is there any essential difference? Because your son is alive, you are the unyielding mistress of the Zhuge family. When her son dies, she has no blood relationship with the Zhuge family. Classified as an outsider?"

The old lady lowered her head.Zhuge Xiaotian looked at his wife's expression and knew that what he said had an effect on her. It was just that the master led the door in, and the practice was up to the individual. He gave all the advice. The extent to which his wife could understand was not something he could forcefully control. up.About a quarter of an hour later, he patted his wife's hand, and said with a hint of imperceptible excitement, "I have something serious to tell you!"

"What's the matter?" the old matriarch asked suspiciously, and also covered Zhuge Xiaotian with the quilt around his waist. He was too old to suffer from the cold on his shoulders, so to avoid grabbing the quilt, they had to cover each other.

Zhuge Xiaotian frowned with gray eyebrows, and said: "This time when I entered Beijing, I ran into an eminent monk on the way. He talked to me about the future of the Zhenbei Palace, and said that the Palace will be exhausted. In the near future, there may be a Cut off children and grandchildren."

The old matriarch's expression changed suddenly: "Ah? Wha... What is the Taoist monk? He must be full of nonsense! The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is in good shape, but where is it dying? You are a marshal after all, how can you listen to such pretentious rumors? ?”

Zhuge Xiaotian held his wife's hand, and said solemnly: "It's not about chasing after the wind, he has calculated my past completely, and he even knows some things that I deliberately concealed from the outside world, including what my name used to be. I have married several wives, and how I met you is exactly the same! I am sure that there is no such monk in Kashgar, because we in Kashgar believe in the Nuwa Empress and reject all foreign religions, whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest. He is not allowed to appear in Kashgar. He has never been to Kashgar, so how could he only want so many secrets from me? That’s why I believed in his teachings.”
