I give the princess a sip

Lingsu looked at Gu Lian, speechless.

Looking at his tangled appearance, Gu Lian knew the answer: "Is it right? Haven't eaten yet?"

"But he has a wife and children." Lingsu sighed.

"There is also a concubine." Gu Lian added coolly.

Lingsu frowned, subconsciously retorted: "The concubine is just a display."

"What about the wife and children?"

Lingsu stopped talking.

Gu Lian held the teacup and took a sip, but didn't speak.

After a long time, Lingsu sighed and sat down opposite her: "His real wife has actually... died of illness."

Gu Lian paused with the hand holding the teacup: "Huh?"

When the princess hosted the banquet before, didn't the third concubine ask to come to the door in person and ask her to help her sister to see her?

"The third concubine has been dead for several years." Lingsu stared at the snack plate in front of her, and said slowly.

Then, he recounted all the things he had encountered over the years.

When Lingsu fell into the third prince's bed, it happened not long after the third concubine died of dystocia, leaving behind a thin and thin son, who has been taken care of by Lingsu over the years to be very healthy.At that time, the third prince was in a bad mood, and it was Lingsu who accompanied him, and then the two slowly fell in love with each other.

There is no relationship between the third concubine and the third prince, but the emperor chose him as the main concubine, and the third concubine's family has helped the third prince a lot, so the third prince has always respected his wife after getting married.Married for one year, no concubines, and the third concubine only had one intimate relationship on the day of their wedding, and then they became pregnant.

They are more like friends than husband and wife.When the third concubine passed away, fortunately there was something about the Lingsu that distracted his attention, otherwise he would have been sad for a long time.

Having said so much, it can only be said that there is no love between the third prince and the third concubine, Lingsu doesn't need to mind the existence of that woman at all, and he should even be secretly happy.The third prince is going to be the emperor in the future, so it is impossible not to have heirs. Those who talk about adopting the sons of the clan are too naive.Now that the third prince has a son, who is healthy and smart, once the issue of the heir is resolved, there is no need to worry that the third prince will have to have children with others in the future.

Lingsu also knows this truth, but he can't get over that hurdle in his heart.

"I always feel that it is not safe for him to be the emperor in the future." Lingsu sighed, "The emperor is suspicious and sick, and the ministers like to persuade the emperor to spread his branches and leaves, and no one can control the status of the emperor. Hold him. The temptation is too great and the sense of security is too low."

However, Gu Lian felt that the entanglement in Lingsu was simply superfluous. She sneered and said, "What's the big deal? If he empathizes with someone else, with your martial arts, are you afraid that you won't be able to eunuch him and then leave gracefully? What is the so-called here?" The strength of a master is nothing more than that, except for me, who can beat you? The world is so big, you can come and go freely, you are the Taoist leader of Chunyang Palace, you can do whatever you want, free and easy, don't let down your teachings of Chunyang."

"... That's right." After hearing this, Lingsu felt inexplicably better.

The thoughts suppressed in his heart slowly dissipated. In fact, he understood the truth, but he lacked someone to scold him to face these.In the past, there was no familiar person around him, and his only confidant was still in the state of a soul. He wanted to find someone to confide in, but he couldn't find it, so he got into a dead end instead.

Lingsu looked at Gu Lian, and the more he watched, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but said: "Sister Zi Lian, it's good to have you by my side, as expected, we are a perfect match!"

"Get out." Gu Lian gritted his teeth, loving your sister narcissistically, "Stop putting gold on your face, who is a perfect match for you charlatan!"

Lingsu chuckled, and the immortal demeanor he pretended at the beginning was completely lost. The two brothers patted Gu Lian on the shoulder kindly: "I told my sister-in-law about you, don't worry, she will treat you for me Very good, I'll go back first and make it clear to the Third Prince so that he won't spend his sorrows on drinking every day." As he spoke, Lingsu looked disgusted, as if he couldn't stand the smell of alcohol.

Gu Lian's face was expressionless, the spiritual place is the real wine barrel, okay? If the wine is not good, you are still addicted to alcohol.

After seeing off the unreliable Taoist priest, Gu Lian rubbed his head with a headache.

A few years ago when Lingsu first arrived, the situation of the third prince was not so good, thanks to Lingsu's secret help.The third prince was grateful and admiring to him, and even entrusted his precious son to his care.It's also because Lingsu is short-sighted. How could he help him recuperate his son's body if he meets a narrow-minded person.

Even Gu Lian had never been lucky enough to take the panacea of ​​Chunyang Palace.Speaking of which, that Lingsu guy was really stingy, he didn't know how to share two of them to taste when he was dying.

The third concubine's family helped the third prince to hide the news of the concubine's death. First, no one would marry to be the successor concubine, and it was guaranteed that their family was the only wife of the third prince. Second, the child was still young, and the stepmother Not necessarily good for him.The family didn't know clearly about the relationship between Lingsu and the third prince, and they didn't know what they would think when they knew it.

Speaking of which, last time Qiao Mingyu held a banquet for the concubine's younger sister for the sake of the third prince, but that younger sister didn't seem too happy?

It's been a while, and Gu Lian can't remember clearly, she frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Generally speaking, when a married daughter dies, she will remarry a concubine to occupy the position in the past, but the third prince is a prince and will soon inherit the throne, so it is impossible to marry a concubine, so...the third prince's concubine's direct relative The younger sister was originally the most likely to marry.

Does that girl want to marry her brother-in-law herself?Does her family think so too?

Gu Lian put down the teacup and walked out. No matter what, she had to help her stupid friend to watch over her, so that she wouldn't be betrayed accidentally.

"Miss?" Zhu Xiang came up to meet her, looking at her worriedly.The young lady's complexion is not good, could it be that the Taoist priest said something unpleasant?

Gu Lian shook her head slightly: "It's okay."

In fact, what did the younger sister think, it would be the fastest to ask the princess, so Gu Lian decided to hold it down for now and turn around to ask the princess.

It seems that Qiao Mingyu should trust Lingsu a lot, or respect him a lot. Gu Lian doesn't know what Lingsu said to Qiao Mingyu, but it should be very good.Gu Lianbai picked up a big deal, and Lingsu also hinted that she can not be so alien to the princess, Gu Lian probably knows what to do.

Time flies to the first day of August, the day of the Cloud Picking Festival, Qiao Mingyu came out of the palace early, and even had a breakfast with Gu Lian.In the past few days, Lingsu came to Gu Lian from time to time, with a radiant look, Gu Lian's teeth ached, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was time for him to find a partner.

Gu Lian subconsciously glanced at Qiao Mingyu.

Qiao Mingyu noticed it keenly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The princess is so beautiful today." Gu Lian said casually.

Qiao Mingyu seriously retorted: "I think you look better."

As he spoke, he looked at her twice, took a sip of porridge, looked at her again, and took another sip.

Gu Lian had already discovered Qiao Mingyu's strange way of eating, and she was not ashamed to ask before, but now she knows, does it mean that she thinks she is pretty and delicious?It turns out that the princess also likes to see beautiful women... Ahem, it seems a bit too shameless to say that she is a beautiful woman, but the shell of the original owner is indeed much better-looking than Gu Lian himself.Although the facial features are similar, but the feeling is different, Gu Lian reckoned that maybe it is a matter of temperament.

"Do you have a question for me?" Qiao Mingyu put down the empty bowl and stared at her closely.

Gu Lian paused, then said: "The princess is so kind to me, I'm a little scared."

Qiao Mingyu suddenly said, "Didn't I tell you?"

"No." Gu Lian shook her head in bewilderment.

"Ah, that's why I remembered wrongly." Qiao Mingyu coughed dryly, "I once had a younger sister who was very similar to you, but she died later. Sister... the priest of Lingsu tried his best to treat her, although it didn't work. , but I am very grateful to him. Besides, he did it for my sister so that she would have a good pregnancy."

"..." Princess, you can't trust charlatans!Gu Lian's heart was a little broken.

Qiao Mingyu continued silly and sweetly: "After all, you are Lingsu's niece. It's not easy for him to show up, so I will naturally take care of you for him."

"...Niece?" Gu Lian repeated again, gritting her teeth.

"You don't know?" Qiao Mingyu was dumbfounded this time. "Lingsu told me that he is your mother's younger brother. Although there is a big difference in age, he has always had a good relationship. Maybe your mother didn't tell you about your grandparent's family. You can ask him about it yourself next time."

Gu Lian took a deep breath, it's so good, you charlatan, you never forget to take advantage of her, and wait for her...
