Chapter 132 The Black Heart Lotus Reborn in Ancient Times (End) (1/2)

Linjiang Prince Lin Shiheng was called into the palace and did not come back until the afternoon. Princess Mu Qingling was looking at the palace's property accounts in the house. When she heard the servants reported that the prince was back, she smiled softly and asked someone to give her the account books that she liked. Lin Shiheng sent it over.

In the past few days, her health had gradually improved. She was no longer the same as before. Even breathing felt weak. Mu Qingling knew that it was because the poison in her body was gone.

She could also roughly guess who poisoned her. Although she didn't know why Mu Qingrong pushed King Linjiang to her and later regretted it, but now her biggest supporter has shown that she doesn't like it. Mu Qingrong and Mu Qingling don't have to shrink back.

The last time she came back, she had told her mother about her suspicions. Now that the concubine has grown up and loves to read, he is a concubine, so the second uncle can tolerate him.

But even though her mother didn't say a word about it, Mu Qingling also knew that Dafang's treatment in the Hou Mansion was definitely not much better. It wasn't that it was very bad. At any rate, on the surface, the second uncle could not be known as treating his elder brother's widow and young son harshly.

Even before she got married, Mu Qingling had always experienced the methods of her second uncle and second aunt. What they did was disgusting. They were both deceptive behind the scenes and generous in public, which actually made the eldest family suffer unspeakably.

They are both from high-ranking families, and they have to face each other even for their children. Mu Qingling knew in her heart that the second wife was sure that her mother would not say a word more for the sake of her children's reputation. If it had happened before, she would have felt bitter in her heart and there was nothing she could do about it. But now, she is already Princess Linjiang.

In particular, her husband told her just yesterday that if possible, he hoped that the big house could be separated.

Although he said this because he was disgusted by Mu Qingrong's shameless behavior, Mu Qingling was still very happy.

In fact, it is very easy to separate the families in the Marquis Mansion. After all, the only one left above is the old lady, who is still seriously ill and bedridden. It stands to reason that since the second uncle came to the throne before, and since his father is gone, he can move out of the big house. But at that time, my concubine and I She was still young, so no one in the family mentioned it.

Besides, my father had just passed away at that time, so the second uncle was crazy and would have asked the widowed sister-in-law to move out with her nephew and niece. Otherwise, it would be evidence that he did not tolerate the widowed sister-in-law.

Now her father has passed away for many years and her brother is older. Although she married a royal family, the prince's reputation outside has not been very good. Now that her mother proposes to separate the family, her second uncle will definitely agree.

Mu Qingling had taken care of the palace from top to bottom, and was about to send someone to use her private house to buy a house outside, when the girl waiting beside her walked in politely.

"Master, the prince has sent someone."

"please come in."

The person who came was a young boy. He respectfully handed the box in his arms to the girl, and then watched the girl hand it to Mu Qingling.

"The prince ordered his servant to bring this, saying it was only a congratulatory gift."

A congratulatory gift?

How can a husband give a congratulatory gift to his wife?

Mu Qingling took it in confusion and opened the box. Inside was the land deed.

The servant kneeling below saw the surprise on her face and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty heard that the Zhongyi Hou Mansion is going to separate the family. This is for the eldest lady in the manor."

Is this for mother?

Mu Qingling was moved and surprised at the same time.

She was touched that the prince thought so carefully, and was surprised that the prince was kinder to her than she imagined.

Mu Qingling was a spoiled child when she was a child, but she fell into a deep decline after her father passed away. She has known since she was a child that she has to protect her mother and take care of her younger brother. It is precisely because of this that she has never put her role in a protective position. Instead, he always tried to protect those around him.

Now that my husband is protecting me like this, I have so many thoughts in my heart that it almost overflows my entire heart.

She pursed her lips, hid the tears in her eyes, and said solemnly: "Go back for me and thank the prince."

The prince was so kind to her, and she wanted to reciprocate the favor.

In the future, even if the prince is really uneducated and has a courtyard full of concubines, she will take care of them for him and do her duty as a wife.

Mu Qingling never thought of monopolizing Lin Shiheng. The education she received was that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. As a wife, she must manage the backyard for him, spread the branches and leaves, and not be jealous.

As an ancient aborigine, Mu Qingling never thought about being a pair for life.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has no love for her husband.

After all, she fell into a coma just after she got married, and after waking up, she has been dealing with Mu Qingrong's flirtatious manipulations, and also has to find time to manage the affairs of the palace. Mu Qingling really doesn't have the time to develop love.

What's more, her husband is from the royal family. According to common sense, as a prince, Lin Shiheng can have two concubines, and the rest are naturally concubines who cannot sleep with Yudie.

Even if Lin Shiheng didn't find a woman himself, the Queen Mother would definitely grant a marriage to her son.

Mu Qingling was fully prepared mentally, and even had some small courtyards renovated, waiting for the concubines to live in them.

However, she waited and waited, but she didn't wait until her prince brought back some woman from outside.

Even the Queen Mother did not mention the concubine.

Mu Qingling breathed a sigh of relief. Although she said she didn't mind being a generous wife, as a woman, who is willing to share her husband with a bunch of people, and even have her own children share their father with other people's children in the future.

The Prince and the Queen Mother would not mention it, and she would not take the initiative to mention it in order to show her magnanimity and virtuousness.

Just when she was relieved, she was pregnant.

Mu Qingling was happy and her heart was in her throat.

After all, she is pregnant, so she cannot sleep with the prince. If nothing else, the queen mother should be given a concubine or a concubine.

Maybe the prince himself won't be able to hold back and look for it outside.

She thought worriedly that the prince loved to go to the Qinglou most, what if he came back with a Qinglou girl? This was something the royal family was most taboo about.

Fortunately, until Mu Qingling gave birth to a daughter safely, Lin Shiheng did not bring back a woman.

Even the Queen Mother, when she came to the palace several times to pay respects, she only cared about the child in her belly and never mentioned releasing anyone into the palace.

When she found out the child was a girl, Mu Qingling's heart tightened.

She likes her daughter very much. In her eyes, her daughter and son are all her children, and they are all loved by her. However, the royal family favors male heirs, so her daughter is a bit ordinary.

Mu Qingling was a little worried that her daughter would not be favored by the prince.

This worry soon proved to be unnecessary.

Prince Linjiang was so excited to be a father for the first time that he even hugged her and helped her change her diaper. In order to name his daughter, he went to the palace to ask the emperor for help and was named Princess Longyu on the spot.

The little princess has been pampered and supported by everyone since she was born. Whether it is her father, the emperor's uncle, or the queen mother, they all treat her as their beloved.

Therefore, she grew up in a noble family. Compared with some little girls in the capital who were less free, she could be taken to the palace by her father to play with a few cousins, and she could also be taken out of the house by her mother and concubine. , go to grandma’s house to play.

The little princess loved her father, the princess, and her concubine the most, followed by her little brother, because there had never been any other women in the house. She always thought that except for the emperor's uncle, all other families in the world were monogamous and did not take concubines.

This idea didn't change until she grew up a little. After her mother-in-law taught her, her father would take her to see the lanterns outside the house.

If you ignore the escorts and maids on the three floors outside and around them, their family looks like ordinary people. The father is holding his daughter, and the mother is carrying a lantern, walking happily among the crowd.

"Longyu doesn't have to be sad. Although most men in this world have three wives and four concubines, when Longyu gets married in the future, your father will definitely find a good husband for you who doesn't take concubines and treats you wholeheartedly. If you can't find him, , Longyu won’t marry anymore, your father, queen, mother and concubine will support you for the rest of your life.”

"What about my father? Will my father take concubines like most men do?"

"My father doesn't take concubines. Those women are not as beautiful as your mother and concubine."

The little princess didn't know that her father was serious, and she didn't know that he would really find a husband for her in the future who would treat her wholeheartedly. She was too young to understand this, so she just clapped her hands happily and agreed.

When she was clamoring to get off by herself, the little princess got off the ground, held a lantern and walked forward under the careful care of her servants. When she looked back, she saw her mother and concubine looking at her father and smiling. Her smile was full of happiness. .

When Mu Qingling's youngest son married, she was already in her early forties, but she still looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties.

When she got married, the entire capital felt that she was an unlucky person, marrying Prince Linjiang who was unattractive and loved to play with women.

But now, all the ladies in the capital are envious of her.

King Linjiang is not in tune, but he is protected by his elder brother, Your Majesty. He likes to look at women, but he never takes them to the palace, and he really likes to play around. After getting married, most of the time King Linjiang takes him with him when he goes out to play. After having a child, they became a family and went out together.

He has no concubines and no bad temper. Occasionally, Mu Qingling comes out to attend parties, and he will come to take people back home. In the spring, you can always see this family going outing. I heard that even the hunting skills of his children are due to him as a father. Taught by the king himself.

Although the teaching was not very good and he went to the palace to ask for a martial arts master from His Majesty, this also proved from the side how much King Linjiang loved his children.

Look, you are so bad and still teach your children, what a great spirit this is.

This is not a dandy prince, he is clearly a good man!

Although the eldest daughter Longyu is married, she always likes to go back to the house to visit them.

It wasn't that she was wronged at her husband's house, it was just that her husband had to go to court and there was no mother-in-law, so she felt bored and went out to play.

Mu Qingling felt that her daughter was a bit childish like this, but Lin Shiheng was so persuasive and very plausive:

"Longyu has no elders, so why should she suppress her temperament for these messy rules? She has been pampered by us and grew up. Now that she is married, she will not be allowed to return home. How sad it is."

Mu Qingling was convinced.

She couldn't bear to see her daughter being restrained, not to mention her son-in-law doting on her, so that was all.

Anyway, even if one day she and the prince are no longer together, just based on the good relationship between her daughter and several princes, whoever ascends the throne in the future will still be honored by Longyu.

After the last child got married, Mu Qingling felt that she had no regrets in her life, so she followed Lin Shiheng's suggestion and went out to celebrate with a big shopping trip.

Just as she was wrapping up all the things she liked, she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the store.

It's Mu Qingrong.

How can it be.

Mu Qingling was extremely surprised. Didn't Mu Qingrong and her second aunt fall seriously ill and die together as early as twenty years ago?

When the Hou Mansion came to report the funeral, she went to express condolences with her mother. However, at that time, her second uncle had offended someone in court and was in a state of distress. It was clearly the funeral of her daughter and wife, but she only wanted to beg her to forgive her. The prince spoke without any sadness at all.

Because the second uncle kept pestering him, Mu Qingling was deeply impressed by this incident.

She subconsciously walked out and took her maid to the woman in rags and disheveled hair.

She was murmuring: "I am a noble concubine, I am a noble concubine, Emperor Anqing has died a long time ago, he should obviously die."

Mu Qingling was shocked, and the maid beside her quickly pulled her back.

"Master, I'm afraid this is a lunatic. Let's stay away."

Cursing the current Holy Lord would be a capital offense, and might even lead to the death of the nine tribes.

Mu Qingling was pulled back in a daze, and when Lin Shiheng came back, she told him about the incident.

The two had lived together for so long and talked about almost everything. As soon as Lin Shiheng heard this, he said he would send someone to investigate.

The results come out quickly.

That was indeed Mu Qingrong. Twenty years ago, when the emperor's eldest son was born, Mu Qingrong was somehow stimulated and blurted out that the emperor's eldest son should not have been born and cursed Emperor Anqing.

Mu Qingling's second uncle was also there at the time. After hearing this, he was shocked and slapped his daughter. In order to avoid causing trouble, he decided to marry her off in a hurry.

At that time, it was revealed that he had collected money to pay for the lives of condemned prisoners. Emperor Anqing was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. It was at the time when he was most distressed that Mu Qingrong lost one of his teeth, and his appearance was not good. Naturally, it's not much better.

She didn't want to get married. She was stimulated by the high fever and kept yelling nonsense such as that Emperor Anqing should have died long ago, that he shouldn't have children, and that she was a noble concubine.

Uncle Mu Qingling was almost scared to death. He barely hesitated before deciding to let this daughter who might kill the whole family die voluntarily.

After all, the second wife still loved her daughter and secretly sent her to Zhuangzi without telling him. She planned to send her daughter farther away to buy some land after the news was over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sent the person away, the second master took a prostitute home and scolded and insulted her for that prostitute. She was worried about her daughter and was so angry that she didn't even come up. Dead.

The servant who was sent out to take care of Mu Qingrong saw that the second wife was gone and Mu Qingrong was crazy and ignorant, so he simply took her money and ran away, so Mu Qingrong became a crazy beggar.

She was also lucky enough to survive until now.

After hearing this, Mu Qingling sighed, not to mention anything else, she was not that kind to take in someone who wanted to kill her.

From then on, she never saw Mu Qingrong again.

At the age of sixty-three, Mu Qingling passed away, and in the same year, Lin Shiheng passed away.

Later generations recorded that Lin Shiheng, the king of Linjiang, was not good at womanizing and had only one concubine in his life. It was said that he had a keen eye and could see people's nature.

Emperor Anqing once told the historian: Master Yuantong said that King Linjiang was gifted with intelligence and good conduct, and the Buddha gave him a wise eye because of this.

【Ding! The mission is completed, please choose: 1. Continue the mission, 2. Vacation]

【Continue the mission】

As soon as Lin Shiheng opened his eyes, he heard a loud sound.

--Snapped! !

His face doesn't hurt, it's not because he hit him.

Looking carefully, I saw a girl covering her face on the left side, looking at the person standing opposite with tears and anguish.

"How can there be parents like you in the world? They only love my brother but not me. Am I not your biological child?"

The woman standing opposite her slapped her again.

"You girl, why are you so demanding! Can you compete with your brother!"

This loud sound made Lin Shiheng couldn't help but touch his face.

The memory was completely digested and he rubbed his face.

Yes.

He is that brother.
