First Concubine

Chapter 98 Wedding candles (2)

Not to mention it was okay, but when Liu Lu mentioned it, she noticed Zhi Fan's cheeks that were so red that they could bleed. They were companions. At best, they were the eldest lady's confidants. At worst, the eldest lady was preparing to give birth to the prince. Before leaving the house, the old lady sent her experienced mother to teach her the art of boudoir. Zhifan's food box was unscrewed back intact, indicating that she did not enter the room, but only heard some noises, so So you blushed with embarrassment? It’s so incredible!

Liu Lu said coldly: "You are not really attracted to the prince, are you?"

She fluttered her eyelashes fiercely and said sternly: "You are very free, right? The trousseau brought by the eldest lady has not been sorted yet, so you should sort it out tonight!"

She has always been a cautious person, even to Shui Lingqing's maid Qiao'er, she is kind and tolerant as much as possible, but in front of Liu Lu, she is increasingly unable to pretend to be innocent and humble. It seems that the closer she is to people, the more she treats them. Get angry easily.

Liu Lu snorted disdainfully and folded her hands on her chest: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the eldest lady is narrow-minded and selfish. If you dare to care about her things, she will make you unable to eat and walk around! "Isn't she a good example? She hasn't cared about anything about the eldest lady yet, but she fell in love with the eldest lady's thorn in her side and wanted to have **** with her, but she was treated like a monkey by the eldest lady!

Zhifan wiped his face with a handkerchief and changed the subject: "Do you have a problem with the eldest lady?"

Liu Lu turned around: "No, I'm a cheap maid, how can I dare to have an opinion against my master? It's not like I'm impatient anymore, but when it comes to friends, I advise you to stop having those thoughts that you shouldn't have, and the maid should do the same. With a bit of backbone, a wife from a poor family is much better than a concubine from a high family. "

Zhi Fan said disapprovingly: "You would really rather be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a high family. Why did you have to be the eldest young master in the first place?"

Liu Lu sighed slowly: "Speaking from experience, if I had understood this principle at the beginning, why would I have taken such a big detour and suffered so much!"

Zhi Fan was stunned and couldn't say a word. It wasn't until Liu Lu picked up her purse again and started embroidering that Zhi Fan walked over to Liu Lu and sat down, looking helpless: "But we maids are qualified to be with the master. Bargaining? Whether we leave or stay, be a wife or a concubine, or have **** with the prince, it’s all the eldest lady’s words...well, it’s all the eldest lady’s words.”

Liu Lu didn't look at her and just went on and on quickly: "Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible for the eldest lady to find a wife for the prince. No woman in the world is willing to share her husband with another woman, but most people don't have the means or scheming. Just keep the man’s heart.”

At this point, Liu Lu paused and found that Zhi Fan was listening attentively, and then asked, "Do you know what the prince did today?"

 “What’s the matter?” Zhi Fan asked subconsciously.

Liu Lu turned over, and a white lotus slowly took shape: "The prince secretly went to Miss Zhuge's yard while using the toilet. At first I thought he was doing something, but later I saw Hua Rong gave Anping a food box. , and this food box was finally screwed into the new house by the prince, and I felt sorry for it. Although there were many delicious dishes at the banquet, none of them were to the eldest lady's appetite. The prince ordered the small kitchen to open a small stove for the eldest lady. Ah! How vague is the eldest lady? In other words, how firmly does the eldest lady grasp the prince's heart? In addition to her extraordinary bearing and delicate appearance, the eldest lady is determined. It is also indispensable. So, if you are worried that the eldest lady will marry you as a concubine, then your worries are unfounded. "

Zhifan blinked: "I..."

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Liu Lu interrupted her unceremoniously, "If you want to encourage me to seduce the prince and set a precedent for marriage so that others can follow suit, then you are talking nonsense. ! I, Liu Lu, will never be a concubine in my life, even if I shave my head and become a nun!"

It was a slightly cold day, and Shui Linglong woke up from her sleep in a daze. Because she remembered that she would go to the palace to greet the queen the next day after her wedding, she forced her biological clock to wake her up even though she was terribly sleepy.

She moved and took a breath of cold air. She felt pain all over her body as if she had been run over by a wheel. Not to mention the hickeys and bruises all over her body, not to mention the pain of broken melons, even her most vulnerable parts hurt. My **** is about to burst. Is he doing foreplay or sucking milk? Are you too obsessed with this place?

"Hmm." Feeling the movement of the person in his arms, Zhuge Yu murmured as if it was still there, and his arms tightened almost instinctively to prevent her from escaping.

Shui Linglong opened the quilt and looked at the two naked bodies entangled together. Thinking of the madness all night, her cheeks felt hot.

As someone who has experienced it, she certainly understands that the quality of sexual **** directly affects the quality of the relationship between husband and wife. Whether she likes him or not, she cannot push him to other women. Therefore, even if she is tired when he asks for **** several times, I didn’t want to move and didn’t refuse.

Well, this is the price you have to pay for monopolizing a man.

Shui Linglong gently moved his arm away, intending to let him sleep a little longer. Unexpectedly, as soon as she jumped to the ground, she felt her waist and abdomen tighten, and then the world began to spin violently, and she fell back into his arms.

 Zhuge Yu woke up earlier than she did. As a man, he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep the first time. He always wanted to keep doing it and keep doing it, and he wished he could die on her body.

He held her arm and gently bit her earlobe: "We woke up so early, it seems we can do something else."

Shui Linglong turned pale in shock: "I can't delay the auspicious time to kowtow to the Queen!"

 Zhuge Yu smiled narrowly: "I know, I'll see you off later." Then, he kissed her lips domineeringly again and began to enjoy the most sumptuous and delicious "breakfast" in nineteen years.

On the carriage, Shui Linglong drooped her head listlessly, her little hand was held in the palm of Zhuge Yu's and played with it carefully. The carriage shook, and she couldn't help but feel a little sleepy again.

She glared at Zhuge Yu: "It's all you! If I make a fool of myself in front of the Queen later, see how I deal with you when I come back!" After saying that, she covered her face and yawned loudly. It was really... very So sleepy... Why is he so energetic? It seemed like he was the one who contributed.

A smile flashed through Zhuge Yu's obsidian eyes. She was wearing a red palace dress with a slanted breast. The wide sleeves and hem of the skirt were embroidered with the royal family's special Qingluan totem with gold thread. He had seen many such clothes. , even Zhuge Xi had worn it several times to meet the queen, but no one could give Qingluan the vigor to fly. She was silent, didn't smile or spoke, she just sat upright like a Buddha. Her vast and graceful aura was like rolling clouds slowly spread out in the sky, and also gave a gentle touch of color in his eyes. come out.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the arc of his smile seemed to be gone. He held her soft body on his lap with his big arms, placed his chin against her temples, and said softly: "Go to sleep, I'll call you when we get there."

Shui Linglong blinked. She was still used to the young man who would quarrel with her at every turn, but now this reserved, quiet and unpredictable look really made her heart beat. Because she realized that she couldn't understand him anymore!

To her, these three months were just ordinary food of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, but perhaps to him, he experienced setbacks that ordinary people could not imagine, and even turned a stubborn stone into a piece of jade.

Thinking about it, Shui Linglong closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became even, and she fell asleep sweetly in his arms.

In the Yuehua Hall of the Millennium Palace, Shui Lingyue was tying her clothes boredly and passing a lot of leisure time. Long live the Lord doted on her and would often come to stay overnight at night, but how would she spend the long days? Pass? There are traps everywhere in the palace. She, who has a low status and takes advantage of the emperor's favor, no longer dares to wander around the palace after suffering a few small losses. I was bored in the Millennium Palace all day long, occasionally chatting with Ji Ronghua, or bickering with Liang Guiren. After a long time, I became bored.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Shangshu's Mansion." The person who bowed and walked into the room was Si Xi, the maid brought from Shangshu's Mansion.

Shui Lingyue put down the bag in her hand, opened the sealed letter and took a look. There was a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "Does Qin Fangyi feel too good about herself? She actually asked me to wait for an opportunity to replace Pingnan Palace. Plea? It's best to ingratiate yourself with a high-ranking concubine. How much money does it cost from the Shangshu Mansion? "Why didn't he think that she was his good daughter when he planned to marry her to a 60-year-old bad old man? Is it too late to stay down and be a small child now?

Si Xi was chosen by Gao Mama from the Zhou family to be Shui Lingyue's maid. Her father and mother were not in the Shangshu Mansion, so naturally they were not constrained by Qin Fangyi. Si Xi frowned and said, "My dearest lady, you must not make any mistakes at this point! Shui Guiren will give birth in more than a month, and there are many concubines in the palace who are jealous of the child. It is true that Long live the Lord has made the decree, and it is true that you have become the target of public criticism. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you will never be afraid of anything else. You can’t give them a reason to punish you!”

Shui Lingyue turned her eyes and said coldly: "I'm not a fool! I still understand this simple truth."

Si Xi got down in a hurry and said in fear: "I have talked too much, please forgive me." How could she forget? The woman in front of her is no longer the concubine who was always vigilant in the past, but the emperor's favorite concubine who is above the emperor. Her spirit must be much higher than before. No, maybe it is not that she is not aware of this difference, but that she is a little confident. After all, she is The master's only confidant.

A trace of anger flashed in Shui Lingyue's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that she was the only person in the palace who could be completely trusted, she would have smashed her mouth by repeatedly warning her like an old woman! Although, she makes a lot of sense.

Shui Lingyue glanced at her, and said impatiently with a hint of warning: "Okay, the palace is a place of right and wrong. I understand your good intentions."

Si Xi did not dare to raise his nose or face, so he only lowered his head.

The sullenness in Shui Lingyue's eyes dissipated a little: "Actually, it is not impossible to help Prince Pingnan, but as for me, I don't want to take the risk of being the one who provides help in times of need. Although the icing on the cake is not as good as it is, there is no risk."

Even if she is a fool, she can see the undercurrents between Pingnan Palace and Zhenbei Palace. Shui Linglong is the Crown Princess of Zhenbei Palace, and Shui Lingxi is about to become the concubine of Pingnan Palace. How much can a concubine do? ? After struggling in the palace for a long time, she finally understood how important status and favor are to a woman. She had to think carefully about whether to flatter Shui Linglong or Shui Lingxi!

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhuge Yu woke up Shui Linglong, held her head and kissed her lingeringly for a long time. The kiss made her almost cry and beg him, and then he reluctantly let her into the palace. He had a special During the wedding leave, he didn't have to go to court for ten days, and he didn't want to go back home, so he waited for her in the carriage.

As soon as the little beauty left, sleepiness came over him like a wave. Zhuge Yu rubbed his eyes, fell on the couch, and fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.

 He needs to be energetic and continue to "eat" her at night!

Boom!

Suddenly there was a thunderous thunder in the sky. Anping's body swayed and he almost fell off the shaft of the car!

He quickly opened the curtain to see if the prince was frightened, and found that the prince was sleeping soundly like a baby, with a half-hearted smile hanging on his lips. Anping also smiled, it had been how long since the prince had such a good sleep. ?

The Crown Princess is so good. Please forget about that person. She will give you nothing but harm. Don’t wait for her stupidly next spring. Let the Crown Princess take care of you in this life...

At the gate of the palace, the person who received Shui Linglong was Eunuch Zhang, who was beside the queen. Eunuch Zhang gave Shui Linglong a Qian'er call. He spoke in a high-pitched voice with a smile. He seemed to be groveling, but in fact he was neither humble nor overbearing: "Slave Zhang He gives this to the crown prince. Concubine, please greet me!"

The leader next to the queen, even the first-rank ministers, did not dare to show their face to each other. Shui Linglong's white and rosy face raised a smile as warm as spring, and said politely: "Eunuch Zhang, there is no need to be polite. It is my first time to meet the empress. I am afraid that my lack of etiquette will shock the empress. I would like to ask my father-in-law to give me guidance along the way. I am very grateful." After that, he took a prepared bag of tips from Zhi Fan and handed it over. Gave it to Eunuch Zhang.

 Eunuch Zhang took a big palm and his face changed slightly when he touched the thing inside. It was an object he liked! The smile in Eunuch Zhang's eyes was a bit real: "Thanks to the noble concubine, how can I teach you? It's just that you have a mouth that you can't control!"

Shui Linglong’s smile became softer and softer.

 Eunuch Zhang made a gesture to guide the way: "Please!"

Shui Linglong nodded and went to Weiyang Palace with Eunuch Zhang.

"...The empress likes dignified and decent people. I see that you are well-mannered and you are definitely not inferior to the imperial concubine. You don't need to worry... The empress loves red. She avoids green this year. Her Majesty the Seventh Prince avoids white this year. Therefore, no palace is allowed. The concubine wears pure white clothes..."

Shui Linglong nodded secretly. The Queen's preferences mentioned by Eunuch Zhang were completely consistent with what she remembered. In the previous life, Yunli died on the journey to the Hu State. The queen fell seriously ill and passed away before she could harm her. In this life, Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi made the Yao family very upset. Now Yao Cheng has given up his official position and moved into Zhenbei Palace. I wonder if the queen has any grudges in her heart.

Shui Linglong glanced at the eloquent Eunuch Zhang and realized in her heart that one sentence from Eunuch Zhang was just an instruction, and two sentences from Eunuch Zhang were also instructions. He was willing to take the trouble to tell the Queen's preferences and taboos one by one. It was probably with the Queen's tacit approval that he was here. Show her the Queen's attitude towards Zhenbei Palace. At this thought, Shui Linglong's hanging heart relaxed a little.

Suddenly, a shocking thunder exploded above the head without any warning. Everyone was startled. Shui Linglong looked up at the dark clouds rushing from the east and sighed: "I'm afraid it's going to rain again." Once it rains, the floods that were finally controlled in the south will return with a vengeance.

In the Baifang Pavilion where visitors were received in Weiyang Palace, the queen was wearing a sapphire blue Zhai dress, sitting upright on a carved sandalwood dress. The small table next to her was filled with colorful fruits and a dazzling array of pastries. She picked up a cup of Longjing and gently drank it. With one mouthful, a faint smile appeared on the face with exquisite makeup: "What a good sign, the spring thunder is rolling, which means the people's livelihood is prosperous."

The noble concubine and concubine Shu were frightened by the sudden thunder just now and broke into a cold sweat. However, the queen was elegant and calm from beginning to end. She only blinked and seemed to be fine. Everyone couldn't help but marvel, the queen was the queen, and her demeanor of not changing her expression even when the mountain collapsed was beyond their reach.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "I heard that the floods in the south have been well controlled and the people affected by the disaster have been properly resettled. This is a blessing from the Lord and the Queen, who have blessed me, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The imperial concubine glanced at her sideways, she was a flatterer again!

Concubine Shu coughed a few times, took a few sips of hot water, and took a special tablet in her mouth.

The queen looked at her and asked with concern: "You are weak, so you don't have to force yourself to come here."

The imperial concubine took over the conversation and sneered: "Yes, even Concubine De has taken sick leave. Why do you, a real sick person, bother yourself to make this trip? You are just a prince concubine, so you are making too much fuss."
