Chapter 70: First kiss stolen(1)
Chapter 70 The first kiss was stolen (1)
Yao Cheng led Zhuge Xi for a while and asked flatteringly: "Xiao Xi, have you forgive me?"
Zhuge Xi glanced at him coldly: "If I slept with another man for one night, would you forgive me so quickly?"
Yao Cheng’s face instantly turned into black coal.
Zhuge Xi walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "How many times have you been with her...?"
I was asking how many times the two of them had met. However, Yao Cheng misunderstood. His throat slipped, and his eyes wandered around in embarrassment: "That night I... I thought it was you... so... I..."
So honest!
Thinking of Yao Cheng's bravery in that area, Zhuge Xi was so angry that he ran over and beat him on the chest: "Yao Cheng, you bastard, bastard, bastard!" Answer whatever you ask, are you stupid? Can't you make up a lie and lie to me?
Yao Cheng grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and said distressedly: "Don't hit me. My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. It will make your hands hurt. When you get back, you can hit her with a paddle for as long as you want. I promise not to hide." ”
Zhuge Xi held back tears. What was she going to do about this man who she loved and hated at the same time?
Yao Cheng hugged her tightly: "Xiao Xi, can you stop being angry? I don't want to sleep in the study. It's cold."
“Then you won’t marry Leng Wei?”
…”
"I tell you, the Yao family has her without me, and I without her!" After gritting his teeth, Zhuge Xi went to the eldest princess's yard without looking back.
In the bedroom, the eldest princess was at a loss. She couldn't remember how much makeup she had put on. She just felt that the powder would fall off if she smiled a little, but those **** dark circles and spots were still so sudden and eye-catching! Today she really felt the disgust of her husband-in-law. He disliked her face like a sesame patty and also disliked her bloated figure!
"Where's the medicine?" she asked Qiu, the female official on the side.
Miss Qiu consoled her with sincerity: "Princess, don't take medicine. I think you are fine now. All women are a little fat after giving birth. They will slowly lose weight when they can walk around after confinement. "
The problem is that once the confinement period is over, Qiao Xu will torment her day and night, and then she will get pregnant again! Qiao Xu clearly did it on purpose! The eldest princess raised her head and took a few deep breaths in annoyance: "I told you to give me the medicine! Why are you lingering? Is it possible that after you leave the palace, I will no longer be able to control you?"
Miss Qiu knelt on the ground and said in fear: "I don't dare! It's just that I don't want the princess to do something stupid! Just listen to my advice and give up this idea! If you really don't want to get pregnant again, just don't have **** with the consort. ! But don’t hurt your body!”
Don’t have **** with your consort? How could she resist the temptation of the consort? The eldest princess's voice turned cold: "If you continue to chirp like this, I will send you back to the palace tonight!"
She is the master's dowry official. Unless the master dies, she will have to serve him all her life. Being sent back to the palace is undoubtedly telling the empress that she is incompetent as a female official and that there is only death waiting for her. But princess, why can’t you see the loyalty of this slave? Miss Qiu sighed sadly, turned around and took out a brocade box from the cabinet and handed it to the eldest princess: "It can be taken internally or externally. The pills can be taken internally once a day, and the medicine mud can be applied externally to the belly button once a day."
The eldest princess was oblivious to her worries: "How long will it take for it to take effect?"
Miss Qiu sighed again: "It can take ten days and a half at the fastest time, or two months at the slowest time. Princess, I will remind you one last time. Once you take this medicine, you will never have any more children in your life!"
Four sons and one daughter are enough! The eldest princess opened the brocade box, picked up a pill with her fingers and was about to put it into her mouth. Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a clang, and it was Zhuge Xi who barged in.
Zhuge Xi walked up to the eldest princess and took the medicine from her hand, and scolded: "Yun Xin, are you crazy? Can you take this medicine casually? This is the beauty secret of a brothel woman, you are dignified Don’t you think it’s embarrassing for a royal princess to learn the dirty tricks of a brothel?”
Ms. Qiu quietly retreated.
The eldest princess stood up and slapped the table. Looking at Zhuge Xi's exquisitely beautiful face, she was overwhelmed with envy and jealousy: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk! Do you think I am willing to use these messy things? If I were half as good as you Zhuge Xi You are so beautiful and graceful, why should I bother you? Your husband holds you in his hands all the time, as if you are a treasure! Where is my husband? I have a concubine and a singer on the boat! I am a royal princess and I have to serve a husband with a singer. This is the real shame! Zhuge Xi, I can't afford to lose!"
Zhuge Xi was dumbfounded and didn't know how to refute. Yao Cheng just had Leng Wei, and she was already in pain. She really couldn't imagine how the eldest princess could endure the betrayal and deception of her consort again and again. Only after she had tasted this bone-eroding pain did she understand the hardships the eldest princess had endured for so many years.
The eldest princess pointed at Zhuge Xi's face, and then pointed at her own face, "You are here to see my joke, aren't you? You know that I am old and old, but you still dress up in a fancy way. I am the same age as you, but in comparison, you are so delicate." Hua, I am dead grass, Zhuge Xi, you bastard!”
Zhuge Xi looked sharply: "I'm a bastard? Yun Xin, you invited me to attend your daughter's baptism banquet, didn't you want to show off to me that you gave birth to another child? You have bad intentions, why should I show mercy?"
When people quarrel, they don't mean what they say. Zhuge Xi carefully groomed himself not to irritate the eldest princess, but just to compare with Leng Wei.
The eldest princess is not Zhuge Xi and is not that strong. After hearing Zhuge Xi's mean words, she burst into tears: "Zhuge Xi, you just love to bully me! I am a princess, why should I always be suppressed by you? My father has liked you more than me since I was little. If you want to eat lychees, my father will send people to deliver them from the south to the capital at high speed. I can’t even get a single lychee..."
Fool, our family is the hostage used by the emperor to control Kashgar Qing. Can the emperor not be "nice" to us?
A woman's heart is like a big wardrobe with no mezzanine, and everything is thrown into it. The eldest princess gradually remembered the many troubles she had in her childhood, and felt more and more that her life was miserable: "I am a concubine, you are a legitimate daughter, and I am a human being." If you quarrel, you will be punished by your mother and concubine when you go back. If you quarrel with someone, your brother will come forward and beat him up! I... I have been beaten by him... It hurts... I told my father, not only did my father not help, I even scolded me... Wuwu... You Zhuge family... bully others too much..."
How many years ago were those old sesame seeds and rotten millet stories? Zhuge Xi threw the medicine into the trash can and handed her a handkerchief: "Wipe your face and let the children see how bad it is!"
"You don't need to be hypocritical!" Even so, the eldest princess took Zhuge Xi's handkerchief without mercy and wiped her tears and nose, and then returned it to her angrily. I'm disgusting to you!
Zhuge Xi felt quite disgusted, so he pinched a corner with his index finger and thumb and gave it to Hua Rong. Hua Rong quickly put the dirty handkerchief in a special purse with an expressionless face.
Zhuge Xi sat down on the chair next to the soft couch, picked up the sachet on his waist, turned it over and over as if looking at it, but his eyes were a little hollow: "Yun Xin, do you think I'm beautiful?"
The eldest princess said sourly: "Isn't this nonsense? Apart from your mother and concubine, I have never seen anyone as good-looking as you!"
Zhuge Xi said in a low voice: "If I told you that no matter how good your skin is, you can't keep a man's heart, would you believe it?"
“Huh?” The eldest princess pricked up her ears, and the gossip factor began to grow infinitely in her body!
Zhuge Xi glanced at the eldest princess and said as if sighing: "People always don't cherish the things they have at their fingertips. After you have given birth to five children, you feel that children are not rare anymore, and you would rather destroy your fertility than live in beauty. Beauty, but in my opinion, if God gives me a chance to be a mother, I will be happy to be ugly. "
This is the first time that Zhuge Xi openly admitted his vulnerability in front of the eldest princess. The eldest princess seemed to feel that she was not so unfortunate. She poked Zhuge Xi on the shoulder and asked doubtfully: "Hey! Are you... okay?"
Zhuge Xi said melancholy: "The beauty is cut off before old age. Aren't the concubines in the palace beautiful? But how many of them are in love with your father? If a man changes his mind, no matter how beautiful the woman is, it won't help. So I advise you, Throw away these frivolous things, and without your husband’s heart, you still have the family relationship of your children. People must know how to be content.”
The eldest princess really felt Zhuge Xi's abnormality now. She carefully studied Zhuge Xi's expression and said, "Has something happened between you and Yao Cheng?" Although she was jealous of Zhuge Xi, she had imagined countless times if Yao Cheng also became a flower. Zhuge Xi would be so angry that she would cry bitterly, but she did not want these fantasies to come true. Yao Cheng was the last pure land in her mind. If Yao Chengdu changed, she would be completely desperate for men. She They also hope to transform Qiao Xu into the second Yao Cheng!
"Princess, there is a mother outside the door asking to see her, saying her surname is Qian." Miss Qiu reported at the door.
Zhuge Xi's expression changed slightly. Didn't Yao Cheng send someone to take Leng Wei back home? Why is the money still there? Is it possible that Leng Wei didn't leave?
The eldest princess felt Zhuge Xi's disgust, and her face changed accordingly. Could it be that the rumor that Qiao Xu heard before was true? Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi's cousin... got involved? The eldest princess’s first reaction was: So happy! Zhuge Xi also had to share a man with others; his second reaction was: Wow... good men really die...
The eldest princess felt sad for a long time before she said impatiently: "No! I'm meeting distinguished guests! I don't see anyone!"
Official Qiu added: "She said Miss Leng is unwell and wants to ask the princess to call a doctor."
Zhuge Xi’s heart twitched, why do you want to call a doctor? She just wanted to make a fuss known to everyone so that Yao Cheng could visit her and announce their relationship! Shameless woman!
"In accordance with Princess Leng's decree, Miss Leng has a golden branch and jade leaves. The doctors in the Marquis Mansion have limited medical skills and really dare not diagnose Miss Leng. So we sent a sedan chair to take Miss Leng back to Leng's home!" After the eldest princess finished her instructions in a cold voice, she patted the soft couch and said, "This concubine is just pretentious!" Her attitude was very obvious, and she did not support Leng Wei being an equal wife!
Zhuge Xi was slightly startled, realizing for the first time that this weak princess also has a strong and upright side. Well, she will hate her a little less in the future...
The eldest princess came close to Zhuge Xi’s ear and whispered a few words. Zhuge Xi’s eyes widened: “Is that so?”
But she said that after Shui Linglong said goodbye to Zhuge Xi, she did not go back directly to Shangshu Mansion, but went to Feng Yanying's courtyard. She remembered that the last time she asked Ajue if he had heard of the Dongjia family in Jiangnan, Ajue's expression was that For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Ah Jue knew someone from the Dong Jia clan? Moreover, the relationship is not very good? Dong Jiaxue severed ties with her clan. If she hadn't accidentally encountered Ah Jue's strange behavior, she thought she would have been the same as her previous life, choosing to ignore and ignore him.
Feng Yanying dismissed the original doctor and sent Brother Zhi and Brother Tong to Mrs. Yao's yard. She said that she had some coughs and was afraid of passing on the illness to the children. She asked her mother-in-law to help take care of them for a few days. Mrs. Yao was naturally very happy. , and invited another doctor to treat Brother Tong.
Feng Yanying got free time and sent someone to tell Yao Wei to go back to his room to rest at night. Yao Wei had no reason not to agree, so Xiaoqing was alone and her eyes were a little dark.
Feng Yanying played a game of chess and sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat with Shui Linglong.
Xiao Qing stood aside quietly, feeling unhappy.
Feng Yanying dropped a white piece and said in her usual tone: "I want to eat walnut shortbread, please make one."
The process of making walnut shortbread is extremely complicated... Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with impatience, but she smiled respectfully and said: "Yes, Second Young Mistress."
After Xiao Qing left, Shui Linglong put the black chess piece in her hand into the box and said straight to the point: "Second Young Mistress, you are from Jiangnan, have you ever heard of the Dong Jia family?"
Feng Yanying's hand holding the chess pieces shook. She glanced at Shui Linglong solemnly, lowered her eyes and said, "The famous rich family is like thunder in the south of the Yangtze River."
Feng Yanying’s expression is abnormal! Shui Linglong blinked: "Then do you know that their family has a daughter named Dong Jiaxue who was expelled from the house?"
Snapped!
Feng Yanying’s chess piece fell into the chessboard…
Shui Linglong walked out of Feng Yanying's yard in despair. At the door, Ah Jue handed her a box of Jiangnan pastries again and politely said many polite words, but Shui Linglong didn't listen to a word. She mechanically handed the food box to Zhi. Fan, then disappeared into the boundless night with an expressionless face.
After leaving Yao Mansion, the carriage from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was already waiting. It was dark at this time, there were not many stars, and the clouds in the sky were as thick as iron, weighing heavily on me, as if I had been burdened with a lifetime of ups and downs.
Zhuge Yu returned from Quanzhou and went back to his mansion to wash up. Then he heard the spies reported her whereabouts and rushed to Yao Mansion to pick her up. But look, why did she seem to have lost her soul?
“Linglong!” Zhuge Yu walked towards her and called softly.
Zhi busy bowed to Zhuge Yu, and Zhuge Yu waved his hand lightly.
Shui Linglong raised her eyes, looked at Zhuge Yu dullly, then walked up to him, and slowly leaned into his arms under his surprised gaze.
Zhuge Yu was very happy, this little woman was finally attracted to him! But he soon realized that something was wrong. She usually got angry whenever he came near her. Why would she take the initiative to embrace her now?
He carried Shui Linglong into the carriage and laid her flat on the soft couch. Zhi Fan asked from outside: "Your Majesty, is the eldest lady okay? Is it okay if the slave comes in to serve me?"
Shui Linglong slowly closed her eyes.
Zhuge Yu said calmly: "She's fine. It's enough for me to be here."
“Yes.” Zhifan responded respectfully, tightened the food box and looked forward.
Zhuge Yu held Shui Linglong's soft, boneless hand, leaned over and kissed her forehead. She didn't respond. He used his calloused fingertips to carefully trace the lines on her palm. It was itchy, and Shui Linglong withdrew his hand. , turned over and faced away from him.
Zhuge Yu became more and more confused. Normally she felt like she had been hit by a cannon. Why was she as soft as a tampon today? She should have picked up the pillow and thrown it at him, calling him a **** or a beast.
He heard about the Shui family's marriage. She was very smart and found Shui Bingbing to be the crown princess. But at the same time, he also understood that she did this not to marry him, but simply because she didn't want to marry Yunli.
So, is she so unhappy because she feels that she has escaped the prison of the Prince's Mansion, but still has to jump into the fire pit of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion?
Within a few breaths, thoughts after thoughts flashed through Zhuge Yu's mind. After a moment, he clenched his fist, took out a bright yellow imperial edict from the secret compartment and stuffed it into Shui Linglong's arms.
Shui Linglong finally had some reaction. She opened the imperial edict and looked at the candlelight. It was as if a hard stone had been dropped into her heart, stirring up a thousand waves!
"By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that ___________ has a son named ___________. He is handsome, dedicated to learning, and extremely intelligent. He has never been married. He has appointed Shui Linglong, a daughter of the Shui family, as his official wife. He hopes that the two of them will play the harp in harmony and be together for a hundred years. I hereby express my gratitude. --"
There is no signature to whom the marriage is given, that is to say...she writes the name of whomever she wants to marry? She knew that what Zhenbei Palace wanted from the emperor must be a marriage decree, but she did not expect that it would be in this form.
"It's up to you. If you want to fight, go ahead and fight. Anyway, I was born in the Shui family, and I can't control my marriage. Whoever wins the fight, I will be the spoils of that person."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who took you as a trophy? You were planning to marry me from the beginning!"
“Wrong, it’s not the marriage you and I have discussed, it’s the marriage proposed by Madam Shangshu and Princess Zhenbei.”
“You didn’t object.”
"invalid objection."
“Shui Linglong, let me tell you, if you want to get rid of me, you are just dreaming!”
“It’s not you, it’s someone else. I can’t choose my own marriage, so I haven’t thought about getting rid of anyone.”
Did he keep that conversation in mind?
Zhuge Yu looked away and said casually: "Hurry up and put it away before I regret it!"
Shui Linglong rolled up the imperial edict and held it tightly in her arms, with mixed feelings in her heart. After a moment, she said: "I am a heartless person. If you want to use this method to influence me, then You are so naive. I can use people without batting an eye, so how can I be moved by an imperial edict that can determine life-long events? Don't go back on your word and **** me first!"
