Chapter 808
The 70th dragon scale (2)
I don't know how many women died in this dynasty. At the age of 15 or 16, they gave birth to children. In ancient times, they practiced great tonic and self-cultivation, and their body bones have not yet grown. In addition, the fetus absorbs too much nutrition and too fast, and the rate of dystocia is very high. It is the queen in the palace. She has only one child under the crown prince, and she completely injured her body after giving birth to the crown prince, Now cloudy and rainy weather, bad weather and bone pain are the root causes of premature childbirth.
In addition, the average life expectancy of women is much lower than that of men. There are not many women like the old lady of the government who can boil their own old man to death.
The empress often holds Linglong in her arms and thinks about how to find the right husband for her beloved little girl. She actually wants the prince to marry Linglong, so that her niece can become a daughter-in-law, and both children can have a happy marriage under her lap. The prince seems to have the same meaning. Linglong is heartless and heartless all day, and doesn't pay attention to life events at all. The most important thing is, The empress herself suffered from her husband, wives and concubines. She really didn't want Linglong to suffer again.
She has a good view of Cheng Guogong, among which there is his deep love for Zhou.
After Zhou's death, as the Duke of Cheng, he couldn't marry his successor? How many people want to marry their yellow flower daughter to him! Duke Cheng holds great power and has only one daughter. He marries him and gives birth to a son. The position of the aristocratic son of the Duke is in his pocket. Although Duke Cheng is nearly 40, he is handsome and powerful. He has more charm of an adult man than a hairy boy. When he returned to Beijing in previous years, he rode on a tall horse. I don't know how many girls in other families are shy and timid and moved by his love.
Even if he had married in those days, many people wanted to be his concubine. Now they are serious princes and wives, and more people are willing to do it.
Unfortunately, Duke Cheng is obsessed with his dead wife and does not give false words to others. Only his daughter can get his tenderness in the world, which is the envy of many women, including the queen. However, in the eyes of men, Duke Cheng is undoubtedly a fool. He embraces everyone's blessings and doesn't know how to enjoy them. He is self-disciplined and strict all day. He lives like an ascetic monk. Who will pass this title to in the future? Aren't they all cheap?
How can anyone in the world not want a son?
Many self righteous people think that Cheng Guogong is also an ordinary man, no exception. How can a man not want his son to succeed? It's just that the affectionate reputation is not good to continue to marry. Therefore, some smart people quietly sent a well-trained thin horse to Duke Cheng. How do you know that they not only didn't beg for good, but also angered Duke Cheng!
Since then, no one dared to do so again. It is well known that Cheng Guogong never forgets his dead wife, not acting, but full of deep love.
Some people also want to take an exquisite way. Who knows that Duke Cheng loves his little daughter most. For his little daughter, he would rather disobey his mother and send his daughter to the palace to be nursed by the queen. If he can please the little girl, he still worries that he can't marry Duke Cheng?
If it's far away, it's near. Zhou Shou, Zhou's father, married his cousin Lu one year after the original couple died. Lu had his next daughter six months after he started his career and claimed that it was premature, but the baby born prematurely for six months was white, tender, fat and plump. Even when the original couple was in bed, the two had already hooked up.
Lu's face was sweet and bitter. He tried every means to calculate the children left by his original match, but he didn't want the huge Zhou family property to fall into the hands of the sisters and brothers.
What she never expected was that Zhou had seen his father's fickleness and righteousness, and never pinned his hope on his father. When Zhou was alive, Rao LV was the mother of the family, and he couldn't get a little cheap. He was frustrated repeatedly until Zhou got married. He not only married well, but also scraped off a lot of oil and water in the Zhou family, which made LV fall back in anger!
Because her daughter was nearly ten years younger than Zhou, her daughter had not been married when Zhou died.
At that time, Lu Shi had the idea of asking her daughter to make a sequel for Cheng Guogong. Her daughter Zhou Ting was worried after seeing Cheng Guogong. When Zhou Shou learned that his eldest daughter had died, he didn't even feel sad, so he immediately began to make up his mind. He invited Cheng Guogong to speak, suggesting that the second daughter and the eldest daughter were close sisters, and he was very sad about the death of his eldest daughter, But I'm worried that my granddaughter is unattended, and my second daughter is gentle and willing to take care of my niece yunyun
Cheng Guogong knew that his father-in-law loved fame and wealth, but he didn't expect him to be so brazen. Before his wife's bones were cold, he planned to give him another daughter. He brushed off and didn't even bother to do face work!
He was an outspoken man in the court. He was never afraid to offend anyone, even the emperor. He dared to choke on the emperor. He often blew his beard and stared at the emperor. Others thought that the emperor could not stand this guy's high praise at last. He mainly cut him down. As a result, the emperor was angry for two days and asked the emperor to play chess again.
It's the love that grew up together since childhood.
Therefore, the emperor has always turned a blind eye to the confusion of others in the Chengguo government, and Chengguo doesn't care - he doesn't want to be a perfect minister without defects. In that case, how much love can't be worth suspicion, but it's not enough to wrong his daughter. The rest can be tossed by others.
The dragonfly sent a letter saying that she would return to the palace. Early the next morning, the palace sent someone to pick it up. Linglong rubbed her eyes and got up. She was quite depressed: "why so early."
"Girl, it's getting late. People in the palace have been waiting for more than an hour." Butterfly answered softly, bending over to dress her girl, "Your Highness the prince has just arrived and is waiting in the front hall. After the old lady learned that, she has rushed there with the girls in the house."
Otherwise, if only the people in the palace came, they would be reluctant to wake up the girl and let the carriage wait.
But the prince's highness is here, so it's another matter.
Linglong is 14 years old this year. Her Royal Highness the prince is four years younger than her. When she went to the Imperial Palace, the empress of the crown princess had a miscarriage once. Since then, it has been difficult to have children and never got pregnant again. Later, when she ascended the throne, the children of the harem were born one after another. The empress became more and more Buddhist. When Cheng Guogong asked her, she agreed without thinking.
The little baby, like a flower and bone, brought much happiness to her empty and boring life.
Until Linglong was four years old, she pointed to her stomach and called her brother. The empress called the imperial doctor, she learned that she was pregnant again!
This time, she successfully gave birth to a son. She felt that Linglong brought her this blessing. She couldn't love Linglong. Later, she became more and more spoiled, and even the prince couldn't go to her.
The crown prince gradually grew up and was gifted. The emperor often came to the Queen's palace because he would be coquettish and sell cute and super cute Linglong. She got such a legitimate son. The queen is also a first wife. Naturally, she attaches more importance to their mother and son. Other crown princes' favorite concubines can't please him more than the serious queen prince.
His Highness the prince is an exquisite follower when he is young. He will follow her wherever she goes. When he was a child, he swayed like a duck and had to hold the exquisite hand. When he grew up, he became calm and serious. This is related to the teachings of the Taifu and the emperor. After all, the future is to be an emperor. How can he smile all day?
So when you are young, you look like a young old man.
Linglong heard the butterfly say that the prince was coming, and heard that the old lady rushed to take all the girls in the house. Mei said her name was not to neglect the prince. She smiled at the corners of her mouth: "Yongjia is only ten years old. Does she think too much?"
Butterfly is not easy to discuss the rights and wrongs of the old lady, so she had to hint at her own girl: "although your Highness the prince is still young, he is full of poetry and books, handsome and outstanding. Don't you have several sisters similar to your Highness's age..."
The old lady's face doesn't need to know what she wants to do.
In particular, a charming watch girl came yesterday. The old lady took care of her head and wanted to give her all the good ones. She would like to see the prince... Either she can't understand it, or she has too much heart. She may not judge the situation accurately enough.
Does Kong Wenyu still want to be a crown princess? Does the old lady want to give Kong Wenyu to the prince as a concubine?
If the empress knew that her son was only ten years old, someone would want to fill him with women. I'm afraid she wouldn't be angry!
She had told the prince not to get close to women before he was 16. Look at what the great prince, who was stuffed by his mother's imperial concubine at the age of 13 to serve the palace maids, looks like now! Walking is floating, and his face is blue and white. At a glance, it is the phase of kidney deficiency!
The prince's Highness has one good thing, that is, he listens very much to what he recognizes. He naturally listens to what his mother and sister say. Therefore, even if the old lady racks her brains to find a topic and wants the girls of the government to talk to him, he looks like he can't be overstepped. Although he looks gentle, he doesn't let go and doesn't answer the old lady's request.
He's only ten years old, old lady. What are you talking about? Let the girls of the government attend the ceremony one after another, and ask them to take good care of him?
How do these charming girls take care of him? Even if you don't have to take a breath after running two or three steps, others will tremble if they speak a little louder. It's even like sister Linglong. She likes to play, can play and is smart. No one in the palace dares to provoke her.
Originally, he was just waiting for his sister. His royal highness was not tired of sitting for three or four hours. Speaking of her sister, she also lived in the government house for many days. He and his mother were in a panic. Therefore, as soon as he got the news that Linglong was going back to the palace, the prince rushed over. He didn't expect to be entangled by the old lady as soon as he entered the government house. No wonder in the past, as long as Linglong as he waited in the carriage outside, Never let him in.
The old lady is very confused.
The other girls in kuaguo mansion are OK. After all, it's her direct granddaughter, but she took her niece and granddaughter to him. What do you mean by saying a lot of good words? There was also the young lady who had tears in her eyes, was shy and timid, and her eyebrows implied hope. In fact, her appearance and bearing were very general, and she was small, but she came down in one continuous line with the old lady of the government.
No wonder uncle Cheng Guogong sent his sister Linglong to the palace. If he grew up with the old lady, I'm afraid he didn't have to develop this affectation.
Under the influence of Linglong, the crown prince is very disgusted with girls who are always crying. He has a headache when he sees their tears and doesn't want to get along with them at all.
While he was absentmindedly dealing with the old lady, he looked anxiously at the door. He wanted Linglong to appear immediately, and then they left immediately.
Xu is the reason why he grew up together since childhood. The prince never regarded Linglong as a person in the government. In his opinion, she and his mother were a family. After he remembered, Linglong returned to the government for the first time. At that time, his Highness the prince, who was a little over two years old, cried and rolled on the ground, clamoring for Linglong to come back.
The emperor was so angry about his virtue that the queen kept laughing and held him in her arms for a good explanation, which made him reluctantly accept this fact. Then he began to count days every day and wait for Linglong to come back. Seeing that, the emperor shook his head and said that he was not so intimate with his father and Emperor.
The empress smiled on her face, but she didn't think so in her heart. Her heart was wrong. Linglong was intimate. Do you want to be intimate with your father?
It is true that the emperor loved the prince and valued him most, but he also had other sons, especially his eldest son, the eldest prince. Because he was his first child, he had a lot of weight in the emperor's heart. The emperor's heart was distributed to too many people, and their mother and son could only get a part.
Where is it more precious than exquisite?
"Sister Linglong!"
Seeing the butterfly coming in first, the prince stood up from his seat and looked at Linglong behind the butterfly, "you're coming."
"If I don't come again, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry."
"I'm not in a hurry." The prince quickly explained, and then he was a little frustrated. If he was only asked to wait for Linglong, he wouldn't be in a hurry, but the old lady of the government was a little annoying, so he became anxious. But right now, Linglong came, "let's hurry back to the palace. The empress said she was dying of you. She told someone to prepare your favorite food early and cook for you at noon!"
Although we all know that Linglong is valued by the dignitaries in the palace, seeing the prince's dependence and intimacy on her with her own eyes is really an eye opener for the people in the government. The empress knows what Linglong likes to eat and even washes her hands for soup... How can she be so lucky!
Look at your Highness the prince. Your grandmother tried her best to say that her mouth was dry, and your Highness the prince was perfunctory. Well, he nodded. He was a prince. It was natural for him to be noble and arrogant, but why did he treat them like this and treat Linglong like another gesture?
It's too unfair!
For the girls of the government, they only heard that Linglong's palace is very popular. The empress and the crown prince like her, but they have never seen her with their own eyes. This is also related to that they have not participated in large-scale palace banquets. Linglong is not interested in the girls' banquets on weekdays. She is too lazy to compare with her whose clothes are expensive and whose jewelry is fashionable. She knows that she will be sought after once she goes, But that's not true. Why?
Therefore, the girls of the government see Linglong only a handful of times all year round. They just think that the only girl in the big house is not from the same world as herself. On weekdays, they just hear that they are not shocked by what they see with their own eyes.
As for Kong Wenyu, he was completely stunned.
She saw how respectful she was to the crown prince. How noble is his highness? When she was at home, the then magistrate's father felt that he was a big official. Even so, when he saw his superior again, his father was groveling and the crown prince... In Kong Wenyu's opinion, it was a person who couldn't even think of it, but he treated this exquisite cousin
She couldn't help but feel jealous. Her father's official spoke lightly. After her death, the mother and daughter had a difficult life. Her mother cursed Cheng Guogong and his wife day and night. In those years, Cheng Guogong denied his mother, forced his mother to marry away for the sake of his own good reputation, but he didn't regret his deep love, but where did he put his mother?
From Kong Wenyu's memory, it was his mother's abuse, curse and complaint.
If you really want to talk about her mother Roche's words, there are actually many places worth considering, but Kong Wenyu refused to think about it.
She couldn't help but start dreaming. If her mother had successfully married Cheng Guogong in those years, now she should be as envious as Linglong. She doesn't have to be cautious and look at people's faces all the time. She can also be held by the empress and grow up and let the prince call her sister
Immersed in a dream of fantasy, she couldn't extricate herself. She completely forgot that the empress would raise Linglong. In addition to Cheng Guogong's plea, it was also because of the Zhou family. Her mother was shameless. She married Cheng Guogong and became his wife. Kong Wenyu could not be raised by the empress.
She couldn't help looking at the exquisite dress. She just felt that she had never seen the material, and the jewelry on each other's head was exquisite. It can be seen how rich she had been in the past, and she could have owned all this!
"Let's go now." Linglong said that she didn't forget to say hello to the old lady. Although it was not light, it was not warm. It was cold and light. There was no mistake in etiquette, but there was nothing else.
The old lady most bothers her is her style, but Linglong feels that it is not enough for the old lady to be flattered by her children and grandchildren. She is comfortable only if everyone flatters her and is obedient.
She's not used to it.
"Your Highness! Your highness is leaving now? " The old lady still wants to keep people. She still has a lot to say to Linglong. For example, sister Yu doesn't know anything when she is new here. As a cousin, she is well-informed and knows so many noble people. How can she help... It's best to take sister Yu into the palace and let the queen meet her.
In the old lady's opinion, her mother's family are all good girls. In those years, she thought her mother's niece was thousands of good, and now it's the same with her niece and granddaughter. To be exquisite, the old lady is afraid to place her youth on Kong Wenyu. In a word, Roche women love flowers when they see people, and they don't like laymen, mediocre people and don't know how to appreciate them!
The prince replied politely, "I have something important to do. I'm afraid I can't stay long."
The old lady looked to Linglong for help, hoping that Linglong could understand something and keep the prince.
She, dreams.
Linglong will only urge the prince to leave quickly. How can he stay! When the old lady saw that the two people were leaving, she was anxious and grabbed Linglong: "you haven't been filial to your grandmother for many years. Today, your grandmother wants to talk to you. Are you impatient? Fortunately, the queen and the emperor praise you all day. Where have you learned your rules? "
The butterfly and dragonfly changed their faces when they heard this. What does the old lady mean? In front of your highness? Inside and outside, the girl is domineering and unfilial?
The prince's handsome little face immediately pulled down. He couldn't hear others say Linglong. When he was a child in the palace, although his mother loved his father and valued him, few other brothers liked him and had to calculate. If it wasn't Linglong, he didn't know how much he wanted with his mother. The prince didn't see the shortcomings of Linglong said by the old lady.
If you are unfilial, why do your mother and uncle Cheng Guogong like her so much? Even the Taifu who taught him spoke highly of Linglong's sister. Everyone likes her, but the old lady doesn't like it. Why doesn't the old lady find a reason on herself?
Before the prince spoke, Linglong smiled and replied, "where have I learned my rules? My grandmother wants to know. You can send a post to the palace and ask the emperor and the queen. If you want to come to the palace, you haven't taught me well. Who told me not to grow up next to my grandmother?"
The old lady was speechless.
Linglong came back to the house when she was young. She didn't pay attention to Linglong in front of other granddaughters. She was beaten by the queen several times before she became honest. She handed her post into the palace? The queen will pay attention to her.
In fact, the old lady knows that she has today's glory. She depends on the old Duke for the first half of her life and the eldest son for the second half of her life. She can't stand her bias! And this heart is still more and more biased. It can't be pulled back.
"As for what grandma said, she wanted to talk to me... Um..." Linglong thought for two seconds and smiled brightly at the old lady. "There are no outsiders here. Why should grandma pretend to be hypocritical? You want to take advantage of me, but you don't want to give benefits. You have to stand on the moral highland. With all due respect, the older you are, the thicker your skin will be. "
Everyone present was stunned!
This, this is her own grandmother... How dare she talk to the old lady like that? Aren't you afraid to be called unfilial? At that time, even Duke Cheng will be impeached. There is no way for the goddaughter!
"You, you, you! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you still have my grandmother in your eyes? " The old lady was so angry that she didn't come here. She became more and more disgusted with Linglong. She said in her heart that heaven has no eyes. She let the parents of a good child like sister Yu die, but let Linglong enjoy all the retro glory.
"I said, what can you do to me?" Linglong asked coolly, "all the people present today are their own people. I must have a tight mouth. If I heard any bad rumors outside..."
She smiled. "Grandma, don't forget what my mother means. I'm her daughter. Naturally, I'm better than blue."
This is a bright threat, a threat in front of the prince!
The old lady has lived such a long life that few people can let her eat. However, the three members of Cheng Guogong's family have failed. Cheng Guogong is her own son. She doesn't fight back at all. It's no use forcing her to do what she doesn't want to do. Zhou is tougher and will object to what the old lady does wrong, but anyway, Both husband and wife are filial and respectful to her
How did you give birth to such a hard core granddaughter!
