first princess

163 Chapter 1 - I'll be ready to move ([-])
In the blink of an eye, it was February, and there must be a lot of daily exercise, but Qiao Hui couldn't bear it and asked the old lady for leave.The old man didn't ask anything, just took a look at Qiao Hui and decided that she would be like Shui Linglong, just take a walk and do some exercises, but Qiao Hui had a stomachache and weakness, so the old man asked her to go back to her room to rest.

Early in the morning, everyone finished their morning exercises, changed their shirts and sat down to eat in the main room of Tian'anju. Qiao Hui also came in with the help of a maid, and because of some makeup powder and rouge, her complexion was brighter than that of the morning. a little better.

Zhuge Xiaotian took the men to a table, and the old lady and the female relatives shared a table, separated by a green gauze cupboard.Even though the green gauze closet was separated, Qiao Hui could still feel the strong cold air blowing towards her face, especially where she was sitting facing the green gauze closet, and the old man's military boots came out from the gap under the green gauze closet...

clang!It was the maidservant who served Qiao Hui the soup, but Qiao Hui lost control of it and even smashed the spoon and the bowl to the ground!
Zhuge Xiaotian sternly shouted: "Which maid is so unruly?"

Qiao Hui's face turned pale with fright, she stood up and said in the direction of the Bisha cabinet, "Grandpa, yes... yes... my slippery hand."

There was a look of disappointment in Zhen's eyes, Zhuge Xiaotian didn't speak any more, the old matriarch's eyes moved, and he smoothed things out with a smile: "Okay, okay, sit down and eat, it's freezing, and my hands are too cold." After applying a lot of balm, it is very slippery."

Zhen Shi took a look at Shui Linglong, and compared with her daughter-in-law, the disappointment in her eyes was a little bit more!People's happiness index is obtained through comparison. If Shui Linglong loses her composure like Qiao Hui, Zhen Shi probably doesn't realize that there is something wrong with it. If Shui Linglong is too good, how can Zhen Shi feel balanced?

Qiao Hui gave Zhenshi a steamed lotus root cake, and Zhenshi smiled faintly!But Qiao Hui noticed that until she got up and left after breakfast, Mrs. Zhen didn't even take a bite of the steamed lotus root cake she made.Qiao Hui's eyes dimmed, and she and Shui Linglong sent her husband out to live in peace.

Before leaving, Zhuge Yu stroked Shui Linglong's belly and said with a half-smile: "Son, don't make trouble with your mother, do you hear me? If you dare to make trouble, I'll beat you later!"

Shui Linglong scolded him with amusing eyes!

King An put his hands behind his back and said gently, "Take care of grandma, don't make grandpa angry."

Qiao Hui's eyes dimmed again!
After the two men left, Qiao Hui walked towards Shui Linglong, and sighed with envy: "My sister-in-law is really lucky. I have grown up so much, and I have never seen a woman as happy as my sister-in-law." Don't worry about the concubine, don't please your family, don't worry about it. Serving the mother-in-law... Even if it pierces the sky, the husband will take care of it.

Everyone has their own destiny, and there are some things that one cannot envy. If the price one must pay to obtain peace in this life is the bloody betrayal and abuse in the previous life, maybe Qiao Hui doesn't think she is so enviable.

Shui Linglong patted Qiao Hui's arm, and said in relief: "The king of the county is a good man, and he has achieved everything by himself. I admire the king of the county more than those men who need to rely on the power of their mother clan to rise up. "

Qiao Hui's expression turned pale: "Does sister-in-law really think so?"

"En." Shui Linglong nodded, and returned to Tiananju with Qiao Hui to chat with the old lady.Zhuge Xiaotian didn't like to stay with the female relatives, so after breakfast he called Zhuge Liuyun to the study, before leaving, he took a meaningful look at Shui Linglong!
Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, leaned forward and said respectfully, "Grandpa is being sent off."

"En!" Zhuge Xiaotian responded lightly, and strode away!

Qiao Hui breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the old man was not indifferent to her.

"It's easy for you to handle this matter." The old lady glanced at Leng Youru, then turned to Zhen and continued, "What the old lady means is that you don't need to be extravagant, just find a few handkerchiefs that are close enough to get together. .”

Leng Youru was expressionless.Mrs. Zhen glanced at her, disdainful in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Since it's what father ordered, I must have done it safely!" Then she looked at Leng Youru, and said kindly, "Sister-in-law, what suggestion do you have?" Or if there are matters needing attention, please feel free to mention them!"

Leng Youru said indifferently: "It's all good."

Mrs. Zhen stroked her hair at the sideburns, and said with a smile: "Okay, sister-in-law, think for yourself first, I'll go back and make a list, if sister-in-law wants to add or subtract anything, tell me later!"

Leng Youru held the corner of her lips calmly, a cough came out, she hurriedly covered her face with a veil.When Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui entered the room, they just heard Leng Youru coughing. They subconsciously wanted to ask, but they both kept their mouths shut.The old lady didn't say anything!Mrs. Zhen glanced at her, and like everyone else, she also didn't say a single word of concern!

Leng Youru got up and bowed to the old matriarch: "My daughter-in-law will take her leave first, and I will come back to say hello to my mother in the evening."

After leaving Tiananju, Cen'er supported Leng Youru who was about to collapse, frowned and said: "These people are too much! Your face is so ugly, you don't even have a word of concern! The old man didn't even shake your face , they are quite courageous!"

Leng Youru tightened the clothes on her body, and said casually: "It's just pretending in the past, but I'm too lazy to pretend now." There is no difference in essence!

Cen'er stomped her feet indignantly: "Why don't the servants go and teach them a lesson at night? The servants promise not to be discovered!"

Leng Youru's icy eyes shot straight at Cen'er, Cen'er's scalp went numb, and he quickly lowered his eyes.

Even if the old lady told herself that she would never forgive Leng Youru, but when she thought of what the old lady said and Leng Youru's sick look, she became worried again: "You all go back first, I'm sleepy, sleep for a while."

Shui Linglong blinked, and said warmly: "Grandma, please rest first, the concubine mother seems to be not feeling well, I'll go take a look."

The old matriarch's eyes lit up, and said kindly: "It's not good to go empty-handed. I have ready-made ones here, so you don't have to go back to Moheyuan, just take them." Then she said to Ping'er, "Take the blood swallow and ginseng And Cordyceps to the Crown Princess."

Seeing that Shui Linglong took the lead, Qiao Hui also smiled and said, "I'll go with sister-in-law." Turning around, she gave some instructions to Xiu'er, Xiu'er understood, and withdrew.

Mrs. Zhen stared at her daughter-in-law indiscriminately, she dared to curry favor with the elder brother without her approval!She doesn't care about her mother-in-law too much!She needs to do something!

Leng Youru is now living in the main courtyard. After Shui Linglong and Qiao Hui asked the gatekeeper's mother-in-law to report, Cen'er welcomed them in personally.

"Mother concubine."

"Auntie."

The two saluted Leng Youru politely. Leng Youru sat on the raised chair, pointed to the opposite chair, and said calmly, "Sit down, why are you here?"

Shui Linglong handed the bird's nest, ginseng and cordyceps to Cen'er, while Qiao Hui presented the donkey-hide gelatin that Xiu'er brought from the yard, Shui Linglong said politely: "Mother's concubine's complexion is not very good, let's come and take a look. "

Qiao Hui smiled slightly, showing concern, but she couldn't hide the vigilance in her eyes: "Doctor Hu, please come and feel the pulse! It's cold now, and my aunt probably caught the cold."

Cen'er frowned, one was hypocritical and the other was full of vigilance, is this also called visiting?
Leng Youru took a sip of the ginger tea offered by Cen'er, as if she didn't care about the attitude of the two of them, she just said slowly: "You guys are interested, I'm fine."

Shui Linglong comforted her and said: "Please take a pulse from the doctor to confirm the condition and treatment plan is more appropriate. The mother and concubine are golden branches and jade leaves, so don't make things difficult for your own body."

Leng Youru smiled, with a mixture of ridicule, sarcasm and pure joy, "I will remember your filial piety, if you have nothing else to do, just leave."

Because of Zhuge Yan's death, Leng Youru crazily took revenge on everyone. In this revenge, Zhuge Xi and Leng Wei were the biggest victims, followed by Shui Linglong, but this does not mean that Shui Linglong I don't hate Leng Youru anymore.People are selfish, you can retaliate wildly because of the pain you have suffered, and I can also refuse to forgive because of the harm I have suffered.In short, if the way is different, don't conspire with each other, just do your best not to give others a handle, Shui Linglong doesn't care at all whether Leng Youru sees a doctor or delays; she doesn't care if Leng Youru ridicules.

But Qiao Hui couldn't do it anymore. As soon as she left the main courtyard, she pulled Shui Linglong and asked, "Sister-in-law, eldest brother and eldest sister are not the princess's own flesh and blood, you know about this, right?"

Shui Linglong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I know."

Qiao Hui lowered her volume: "Why did the old man bring the princess back? Aren't you afraid that the princess will frame you and elder brother again?" In her heart, she was really afraid of the princess' methods!

Shui Linglong touched the center of her brows, and said in a normal tone: "The marriage between the princess and the prince is bestowed by the emperor, it doesn't mean that it can be destroyed just by destroying it, but I believe that since the old man dared to bring the princess back, he must have persuaded the princess not to do evil again."

Qiao Hui seemed dissatisfied with the answer, but seeing that Shui Linglong had no intention of speaking again, she had to give up: "Be careful when sailing for thousands of years. You will always have to come into contact with the princess. Be careful."

"Understood." Shui Linglong smiled and nodded.

At night, Leng Youru still slept on the cold floor, the thick quilt was still warm at first, but after a long time, it was coldest in the middle of the night.In the past, she always woke up three or two times, but not this time.She had a sweet dream, a dream she didn't want to wake up from.

She dreamed that in the yard full of lilacs, the three-year-old Yan'er was lying on the stone table and drawing circles with a brush. She had chubby little hands, a red face, black eyes that were round and big like grapes, and she smiled white and sparse. Teeth... so clear.

She looked at Yan'er, and Yan'er saw her too, raised her cute face, smiled softly and said: "Mother, come to Yan'er soon! Yan'er can write, look!" , Yan'er casually picked up the white paper under his elbow, but accidentally knocked over the inkstone, and the ink was all over his body, Yan'er's small face wrinkled, and he started crying: "Woooooo...dirty...mother... clothes are dirty..."

don't cry!Yan'er don't cry!Mother will wash it for you, no, mother will make you a new one!Make lots and lots of new ones!Don't cry, my mother is so distressed... But no matter how much she yells, she can't make a sound.

Yan'er looked at her, crying louder: "Is it because Yan'er is not good, so mother doesn't want Yan'er? Yan'er washes the clothes by herself, mother, come to Yan'er, okay?"

Yan'er took off her coat clumsily, walked to the small fish pond in the yard, squatted down, soaked the dirty clothes in the water, and began to rub them with unskilled hands.

What are you doing on such a cold day, Yan'er?I said I don't need you to wash it, mother will do it!She rushed towards Yan'er, but unexpectedly, before she could get into Yan'er's exam, she heard a "plop", and Yan'er fell into the icy cold water.Her heart trembled violently, as if half of the world collapsed suddenly, and also as if her soul suddenly flew away from her body. That kind of fear and hesitation was more unacceptable to her than a sharp knife hanging on the top of her head by hair.

"Mother! Save Yan'er! Yan'er is so cold! Huh...save Yan'er...mother..."

She threw herself into the fish pond!However, just when her hand was about to touch Yan'er, for some reason, her body suddenly rose into the air, and she floated up...

"Cough cough cough...cough cough..."

Coughs came out from Leng Youru's quilt one after another. Zhuge Liuyun tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary cough, and it would be cured in the middle of the night. Who knows, when she finally stopped coughing, she He began to sob softly again, and he sat up straight almost reflexively!He couldn't believe that there would be a day when she was as indifferent as she would cry secretly at night, even if the wedding was consummated on the wedding night, she was so painful that she almost passed out without shedding a single tear.When Yan'er died, she cried, but she just hugged Yan'er's body and wept quietly. It was the first time he encountered such a sobbing cry.

Zhuge Liuyun opened the curtain to take a look, and saw that she had left the "floor bed" at some point, and was lying on her stomach less than three feet away from the door... Was she sleepwalking?Climb so far?He thought she was competing with the quilt just now.

"Leng Youru, what the hell are you doing? Is it fun to stay awake in the middle of the night?" In a cold tone!

Leng Youru ignored him!

He called out again with an emphatic tone: "Leng Youru! Get the hell out of here and go back to sleep!"

Leng Youru still ignored him!

He was so furious that he went down to pick her up without even wearing shoes, but when his big palm touched her unbelievably hot skin, he was completely stunned...

In the Mohe courtyard, Shui Linglong was reading Guo Yan's letter. She was in good condition along the way, but she was delayed for half a month at the Mobei border due to the heavy snow. In three days, she could reach the Mobei royal court. The Mobei Tai family was not as good as Dong The Tai family is powerful, if it wasn't for the use of Da Zhou's troops in a disguised form to destroy the Dong family, how could the Tai family have a share in the throne?Now, the Tai family was hit hard by Guo Yan again, and they had no power to resist at all.She is looking forward to it, the world will be peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing will be together happily with Guo Yan and Zhuge Yu's family.

Shui Linglong folded the letter and put it in the box, took out the tiger skin sent by Guo Yan, cut it with scissors, and made a small vest. Counting the days, her due date is September, and the baby will be born in winter Two or three months old, about the same size as Ji Geer and Xin Geer today, it should be right to do it according to their size.Of course, in addition to three smaller pieces, she cut out another slightly larger piece.

Zhuge Yu, who sat across from her and flipped through the booklet, asked with a smile, "Do you do that much? Do you want to have four treasures?"

Shui Linglong put the scissors back into the embroidery basket, and glared at him: "You come to see if you can have a baby with four treasures?"

"I'm a man, what's wrong with me? You woman speaks more and more unruly!" Zhuge Yu hummed weakly.

Shui Linglong didn't compete with him, she folded three small tiger skins by herself, picked up the big one, picked three or two beads from the dowry, put them on the tiger skins for comparison, Zhuge Yu He said again: "My son can't use these feminine things."

"Who said it was for boys?"

Zhuge Yu was startled for a moment, and then smiled: "Dragon and Phoenix twins, that's a good idea." Then he didn't know what to think of, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"I made it for Sister Hui, and the other three are from Brother Ji, Brother Xin and our baby." Shui Linglong said with a smile, turned her head to look at him, and found that his face had lost the joy before. ,"What’s wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered some urgent matters to deal with, I'll go to the study, don't do it too late, go to bed earlier." After finishing speaking as if nothing had happened, Zhuge Yu walked over and kissed her on the forehead, and then didn't look back left the bedroom.

Shui Linglong secretly sighed, still unwilling to mention her life experience with her!
Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in: "Miss, the second lady is here."

Shui Linglong met Mrs. Zhen in the Nuan Pavilion, and the two sat down on the kang. On the small table in the middle were delicate and delicious pastries and fresh fruits. It is not suitable to drink strong tea at night. .

Zhen Shi said with a sneer: "How old are you still breastfeeding? I can't."

Shui Linglong took a bite out of it with a spoon and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, try it, the milk is very nourishing, and it can also beautify the skin. I have boiled it once to get rid of the fishy smell, and added sugar."

Zhen Shi couldn't refuse, so she took a small sip, and a strong sweet taste spread between her lips and teeth, and the sweetness was not greasy, very refreshing.Zhen smiled in surprise: "It really is a good thing!"

Shui Linglong drank the sweet soup in her hand, then handed the empty bowl to Zhi Fan, Zhi Fan replaced it with a glass of warm water, Shui Linglong held it in her hand, and said: "Second Aunt hasn't slept so late, it's really exhausting. "

Mrs. Zhen put down the spoon, and smiled brightly: "I just can't take time off, and I get flustered when I'm free. It's okay if my grandson teases me, but isn't it not? So I do more things, and I feel more at ease. , To put it bluntly, I was born to work hard."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly, didn't Mrs. Zhen come to Mohe Courtyard in the middle of the night to show her how hardworking she is?She echoed: "Second Aunt has done a lot of hard work, I think the old matriarch and the old man will remember Second Aunt's well."

Mrs. Zhen couldn't help showing a little bit of complacency, but said on her mouth: "Don't say that! I deserve to work for the palace, how can I work so hard? No wonder the old lady hurts you to the bone, just your mouth , sweeter than the milk and red bean paste in the bowl!"
