Caiqing's wish is to be able to marry a noble family, even as a concubine. Since her family was poor, she was used to her parents arguing over a penny or two and living tightly in order to save a little more rations. She didn't want to be reduced to this point.
So when she found that Zhuge Linlang had a close relationship with Long Wenyu, she would please Long Wenyu without a trace. She knew her identity, and it was impossible for her to be a good concubine, so even if she was a concubine, she was willing, at least for food and clothing, and if she could please Long Wenyu, he would become the emperor in the future. It shouldn't be a problem to get a concubine.
Caiqing also knows that this is ungrateful. If it weren't for Zhuge Linlang, she would have been sold by her parents to the lower-level kilns, but finding a good way out for herself is not wrong, right? No one wants to live better.
"Whatever the girl said, the servant girl just wanted to follow the girl."
Zhuge Linlang just leaned back in the chair and looked at her silently.
At first Caiqing was still pretending to be calm, but later he could only find an excuse to ran out of the main house.
"Slaves go to see if the hot water in the kitchen is ready."
After Caiqing retired, Caiyue was still taking care of Zhuge Linlang's clothes. "Girl, Caiqing is young and ignorant, so she feels bad..."
"I know it in my heart." Zhuge Linlang said in a light tone, obviously not wanting to talk more about this issue. She has never been patient with someone who betrays herself.
Caiyue kept silent.
After Zhuge Linlang came back, he did not hesitate to push the credit to the third prince Long Wenji. The news spread quickly, and Ling Chuyao naturally heard about it. He watched the secret report from his subordinates, and he smiled unconsciously.
"My lord, what exactly do people like Daikin want to do?"
"What do you want to do? Now I'm afraid it is Daikin himself who is going to be messed up. We... just wait and see the changes."
Dong Lin has been following Ling Chuyao since he was ten years old, and it has been more than ten years. He can be said to be very familiar with his master's every move. Now when I saw Ling Chuyao's expression, I knew that even if Daikin wasn't messed up, the master in front of him would make it mess up.
Because he made up his mind to watch the snipe and clam fight, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
It's just this play
At the beginning, there will be some time before it becomes messy. Seeing that the new year is approaching, the imperial court seals the pen, so that officials who have been busy for a year can finally take a breath.
Although Zhuge Linlang only took a ten-day holiday when she got married, she went to wipe out the bandits on Tianding Mountain just after the holiday and dealt with the aftermath. She has been busy till now.
It is rare to have time to catch a breath. Zhuge Linlang has been nesting in the room without reading a book and playing chess, so the days are not boring.
Only once Ling Chuyao came over by chance and saw Zhuge Linlang playing chess with herself, and for a while she became interested in playing a game with her. From then on, the two of them spent time on the chessboard as soon as they had time.
When the servant came over to report to the Prime Minister and his wife, Zhuge Linlang was rolling her eyebrows and wondering whether she would give up or dying to struggle. On the chessboard, Heizi had already been eaten half of the country, and Baizi was battling everywhere, and there was no chance to counterattack.
However, Zhuge Linlang was so arrogant that she couldn't hold back her face when she gave up, so the news was like the sound of nature. She hurriedly pushed the chessboard and walked out, "My father and mother are here, I'll go out and see."
Ling Chuyao looked at her from behind, and it took him a long time to realize that this heroine in countless people's minds had found a very lame excuse to run away in order not to lose chess.
But he just smiled, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law came to the door. He was half a son and should also go out to meet him.
"Didn't I send someone back and say I'm okay? Why are you still here?" When Zhuge Linlang went out, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion happened to reach the second gate, and she hurriedly walked over to welcome her parents into the warm flower hall.
Gu Xue looked at her good daughter, and her tone was full of anger: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, who knows if you made us happy?"
Zhuge Linlang knew that this was the family's concern for herself. She didn't want to pick up the topic of her mother. Gu left and right said to him: "Don't you come back for the New Year
Gu Xue sighed: "Your second brother was like a bird out of the cage as soon as he left Beijing. He didn't know where he flew. Even the news of your wedding didn't know where to go."
Zhuge Lin chuckled. She knew what Zhuge Yu was doing, but she couldn't say at this time, "Second brother likes to be free, mother, don't talk about him too much, let him do what he likes to do."
Gu Xue glared at her: "You said it nicely
, I don’t know if I am worried about my son Xing Qianli mother? By the way, speaking of this, are you and son-in-law okay? "
Zhuge Linlang left, and Ling Chuyao came out immediately. As a qualified son-in-law, he should naturally go out to welcome his father-in-law's arrival.
So after a few simple greetings, Ling Chuyao and Zhuge Pan went to the front hall, while Zhuge Linlang took his mother back to the backyard.
"You left Beijing to fight against the bandits before, didn't you get hurt?" When she reached the inner room, Gu Xue took her daughter's hand and looked left and right.
Zhuge Linlang said: "I'm okay, just a mere bandit, what can you do to me?"
Gu Xue said: "I've said before, how do you choose to join the army as a girl? What if you get hurt in the future?"
"Mother, I am married now, why are you still worried about what I will do in the future?"
Gu Xue looked at her daughter's snow-like face with a very sad look: "You silly girl, you have to have children when married. Even if you don't think for yourself, think about it for my grandson! One day less Toss about it."
Zhuge Linlang thought of Dong'er, the child she had never had a relationship with in her previous life. I am afraid that in these two lifetimes, she can only have this child...
"Now I have just married, why are you thinking about your grandson?" Zhuge Linlang said to his mother, fainting her pain.
Gu Xue said: "Marrying a son, marrying a son, isn't it like this in a woman's life? Originally I thought you and His Royal Highness... But now, the royal family is still not suitable for you after all."
"Isn't Chu King also a royal?" Zhuge Linlang said deliberately, not wanting her mother to be so melancholy.
"Although King Chu is a royal person, if he is valued by Emperor Dayan, he will not be sent to Dajin." Gu Xue said, "I heard your father said that you gave all the credit for this time. The prince?"
How could Zhuge Linlang fail to understand what his mother meant? She was able to lead troops on the expedition, which seemed to be a sign that Long Wenyu wanted to take over the military power. Since she established the Sirius Army, Long Wenyu no longer has to worry about the ownership of the tiger talisman. Zhuge Linlang is there anyway, better than any army talisman it works.
But this time, Zhuge Linlang gave the third prince a chance to show her face in front of Emperor Longqing. This move made many people unable to understand what kind of medicine she sold in the gourd.
