There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 809|The seventieth dragon scale (3)

The 70th Dragon Scale (3)

The girls in the duke's mansion depended on the old lady to live, and naturally there were also those who disliked the old lady, but they were humble, they were daughters' family, and they didn't please the old lady, so they had no place in this family. The old lady was selfish and arrogant, and wished that all her children and grandchildren would be filial, and whoever disobeyed her would be an unworthy descendant. Now that Linglong is so bold and rude, I have to say that she is... quite relieved.

The old lady shuddered when she thought of Zhou's methods. She has a temperament to climb the pole. If you give her a good face, she will be able to gain three points. Although Zhou was filial and respectful at the beginning, but She didn't take any advantage from Zhou's hands!

The Zhou family brought a large amount of dowry to marry into the Duke's Mansion. The bright white gold and silver jewelry almost caught the old lady's eyes. Unfortunately, as a mother-in-law, there is no reason to occupy her daughter-in-law's dowry. Her unfilial eldest son stood with his daughter-in-law against her from beginning to end, and the old lady could only watch.

After finally waiting for the Zhou family to die, the old lady thought she could "help" manage the dowry. Who knew that Duke Cheng personally revised the dowry of his deceased wife and his private property into a book, and sent it to the palace together with his daughter Li... it's all stored in the Queen's concubine! Therefore, Zhou's dowry is still in the treasury of the imperial government, and the old lady does not dare to take it.

Being half-dead with Zhou's anger, now that Zhou's is dead, and she's going to be mad at Zhou's daughter again, the old lady really doesn't want to say a word!

She felt that she couldn't lose face, but she couldn't find her way back in front of Linglong and the Crown Prince, which caused Linglong to chuckle, "Then, grandmother, I'll retire first. Your Highness, let's go."

She wouldn't call the Crown Prince's name in front of others. After all, the Crown Prince's name is too noble to be known to others.

The prince quickly trotted to keep up, but unfortunately he has grown up and can't let his sister lead him like he did when he was a child.

The old lady caressed her chest, Linglong can ignore it, but the other girls in the Guogong Mansion dare not, so there was chaos in the house, Kong Wenyu's body is slender and weak, how can she squeeze through the crowd of girls in the Guogong Mansion. She was squeezed out of the old lady's arms... She knew that the wealth and glory of her whole life depended on this aunt, so she did her best, and the tears fell one after another. screaming, startling the other girls.

This ability to cry when you cry is really not something that anyone can learn.

The old lady's body is very strong, but she is uncomfortable and hypocritical in her heart. Speaking of which, she is also very persistent. Linglong is fourteen, and she can go around the capital when she eats in Linglong. It can be seen that she still has to do it. A work, each time is his own life sulking.

Seeing her grandniece crying exactly like her when she was young, the old lady was so distressed that she couldn't care about other granddaughters, she waved her hand and took Kong Wenyu into her arms, and reprimanded: "They are all sisters, here they are. Noisy and indecent, it's a joke! I don't learn to be good-looking like Sister Yu, I really don't know how your parents taught me!"

This is a bit heavy, so that outsiders can hear it, that is, the old lady said that her girl didn't learn the rules well! Before Kong Wenyu came, the two sisters in the second room were also loved by the old lady, but now they have been reprimanded like this. They did not dare to resent the old lady, so they resented this cousin who could not be beaten. Wenyu's eyes are not so friendly.

But she said that Linglong and the prince returned to the palace, and the empress was actually waiting outside the palace. Seeing that the two hurried forward, Linglong took the queen's arm: "Why is my aunt outside? Although it's not cold, but It won't work if the wind blows, it will give you a headache, so if you wait inside, it's not like you won't come back."

The queen gently twisted her little nose: "As far as you can say, I don't know you yet, you are like a kid when you go out to play, Yongjia listens to you the most, but can't control you, If I don't wait here, I'm afraid you won't be back until it's dark!"

Speaking and scolding lightly: "Bad girl with no conscience."

Speaking like this, it is obvious that she loves more than reprimands. Linglong also knows that she is a cold-hearted person, and she has grown up under her knees since childhood. She is no worse than her biological mother. Desperately acting cute and coquettish, I finally amused the queen.

She is only fourteen years old, her stature has grown slowly, and she is a head taller than the ten-year-old prince. Seeing that she is about to bloom, there is still tender baby fat on her face. The Queen Mother really wanted to pinch, but she was afraid that too much pinch would make this little face bigger, so she was very restrained, and she would only pinch it two or three times a month!

The prince who was completely ignored by his mother has become used to it. When he was born, the mother did not make him longevity noodles. On weekdays, Linglong sister can eat the dishes made by her mother herself every three weeks. However, When he was young, he was taught by the queen to let his elder sister go, so he was not jealous, but leaned over with a smile: "The queen mother has wronged elder sister Linglong this time. I want to buy a sesame cake to eat, but elder sister said to come back quickly, I am afraid The mother is in a hurry."

Even though the Empress was a Buddhist, she couldn't help but laugh at this moment. She put her arms around a child and happily entered the palace, and at the same time asked Linglong, "How can your grandmother go back this time? Confused?"

This is a euphemism for the Empress.

Linglong shook her head: "You don't know me yet? How can she be my opponent? She was called out when we left."

The queen snorted coldly: "This old lady is really a trick to eat all over the world. When your mother was still there, she often had headaches and heartaches, so she wanted to get hold of your mother, but I didn't expect so many years to pass. Now, there is no progress at all."

The empress admires a man like Cheng Guogong, who is very affectionate and righteous, and she doesn't like a man with three wives and four concubines. It's just that she is the empress, and these thoughts are only in her heart. , she thought she could understand.

Whoever has a wife like an old lady can't stand it for years and months.

That's a spoiler, and an old spoiler.

As a saying goes You will know what kind of children you have. In the third generation, the sons have to study and get along with the old ladies relatively little. What about the girls in the palace? All of them have shallow eyelids and arrogance, and they know that they are staring at that one-third of an acre of land.

The Queen Mother raised Linglong, so she naturally wanted her to be a noble woman in the circle of noble girls, so she was also very concerned about the rumors about the girls in the palace, but she didn't have so much free time to manage the affairs of the palace. It was Linglong who promised Cheng Guogong to take care of her, and the others had nothing to do with her.

"You're stupid, you're just an old fool when you're old." Linglong said indifferently.

The three of them chatted and laughed and entered the bedroom. They happened to have lunch together. The Empress did the cooking herself. Linglong and the Crown Prince were very enthusiastic and ate all of the venue. Halfway through the meal, the Emperor came.

Although the emperor has the harem beauties, he likes the queen the most, because only here can make him feel the joy of his family, just like an ordinary family, with a virtuous wife and filial piety, not so intriguing and conspiracy , so he waved his hand and stepped forward to help the queen: "Zi Tong doesn't need to be too polite."

"That's right, my aunt, my uncle even allowed me not to kneel down, why are you so outspoken!"

The Empress gave her a peevish look and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, please don't care about this girl, she, just give a little color and start a dyeing workshop."

After he finished speaking, he said to Linglong again: "The emperor allows you not to kneel, that is to love you, you can't be arrogant, be a good child."

The prince heard and said quickly, "Don't you know Sister Linglong? She is a good child."

The four of them chatted happily. The emperor didn't have any air, so he put on a set of tableware. He also watched Linglong grow up. When she was a child, he still held her in his arms. I have been to the imperial study on my lap! Speaking of which, he didn't value his daughter at all. Who made her beautiful and cute, and the only daughter of a loyal minister he trusted?

The Empress thought more. The little girl staggered when she was a child, like a little duck. She could not finish the ceremony once. At that time, there was no prince, and the emperor also wanted a heir, so She often comes to her place, and the little girl is coquettish and cute, and the emperor will give her a golden mouth to avoid her salute from now on. This is a great favor, but the empress is always afraid that this favor will pass in a flash, so every time she is present, she and the crown prince will One sings the white face and the other slaps the face.

Only when the three of them are married, they don't need to think about all kinds of calculations. With the emperor... it's just three people acting together.

There are too many people in the emperor's heart, and they occupy too little space, so try to get more.

The emperor regards the prince as his heir. Now that the prince is young, in addition to reading every day, he takes him with him to teach him. The father and son will also eat and talk at the dinner table. In other concubines, there are also princes present, and there is still a rule of not eating or sleeping. How can there be such a warm feeling? Over time, the emperor will also be attached to this place. Now that he has all his children, the number of times he sets foot in the harem is much less.

The father and son talked about political affairs, and they did not shy away from the empress and Linglong. The empress was full of smiles throughout the whole process, serving dishes for Linglong, the prince, and the emperor... At other concubines' meals, there are special The palace servants served by Bucai can only feel the affection of ordinary couples by the emperor's side. Especially Linglong would come up with an opinion or two from time to time, most of which were eye-catching, which made people feel enlightened. The emperor could not help but sigh: "It's a pity that Linglong is not a man!"

That is to say, but if Linglong is really a man, and he is so outstanding, the emperor is afraid that he will start to worry again.

The Duke of Cheng is already strong enough, and if he has a better son than him, even if the emperor trusts him, he will inevitably have a pimple in his heart.

"What if I'm not a man?" Linglong muttered, "Can't I do what a man can do? My uncle, don't think of me as a little girl raised in a boudoir."

Seeing her so childish, the emperor laughed: "Look at this child, aren't you a little girl raised in a boudoir!"

The crown prince looked serious: "Father, my sister's homework is better than mine, and the Taifu admires her even more. She is very good."

The emperor also knew this, so he glanced at his direct son who had high hopes: "You are ashamed to say that I have spent all my efforts on you, and you are not as good as your Linglong sister. "

Prince:...

If I knew that I didn't speak, could I be the same as ordinary people that day?

Because of Linglong's influence, the crown prince has a more tolerant and gentle attitude towards women. He loves his mother, and the elder sisters who brought him up are all women. He has always been unwilling to make women embarrassed.

The empress also took the emperor's words and criticized the prince. The prince was reluctantly chopping the rice, and suddenly there was a peeled prawn in the bowl. When he looked up, he saw Linglong Can Ruo Chunhua's smile: "Aunt and uncle say you, only sister loves you, you have to cover your sister in the future."

The prince laughed and ate the prawn in one bite.

After dinner, the two of them went out to play, and the rest of the emperor and the empress said some personal words. The emperor couldn't help but move when he saw that the two children were young, and said to the queen: "Zitong, Yongjia is not too young, you see. , do you want to choose the crown princess?"

The Queen's wife gave a meal: "Who did the emperor fancy?"

The emperor didn't notice the empress's thoughts, and smiled: "It's Linglong. The two of them grew up together since childhood. They are like brothers and sisters. They are exquisite and intelligent. "

The queen thought to herself, what does the emperor think of a good helper?

Don't be jealous, plan for him wholeheartedly, have children for him and arrange a harem for him, it is best for his wife and concubines to treat him as a **** as a belief. Most of the women in this world are like this, but Linglong... The child she raised with her own hands is so smart, even better than the prince, do you want to be like yourself and be a virtuous queen for a lifetime?

"Your Majesty, I have to say, this is a good idea. We watched Linglong grow up. We know her character very well. She is a good child." He smiled and calmed down before expressing his opinion again, "But after all, the two children are too young, Linglong is fourteen and Yongjia is only ten years old. To put it poorly, they are still two elm heads! Now they are Sister and brother, but if they become enlightened one day later, but they are not attracted to each other, then wouldn't they have a grudge? The emperor should not forget that Linglong is the daughter of Duke Cheng. If you want to appoint her as the crown prince, you have to ask The meaning of Cheng Guogong."

The emperor was persuaded by her, nodding and saying, "That's right, I didn't think about it carefully."

The empress gave him a glance: "Where is the emperor's ill-consideration, but if he cares, he will be confused. The emperor has already made plans for things that the courtiers and concubines have never thought of. It can be seen that the emperor has the two children in his heart."

Her tone was relaxed and pleasant, vaguely showing the love of a husband and wife when she was young. The emperor's heart softened immediately and took her hand: "You have worked hard all these years."

"How can it be hard to share the worries for the emperor?"

The two of them sat together while talking, and the palace staff retired with interest.

After this day, the emperor did not mention the matter of the crown prince again. Duke Cheng was still on the frontier, so he couldn't ignore his intentions to marry a girl, right?

A few months later, news of Duke Cheng came.

During the battle with the barbarians, Duke Cheng was seriously injured and fell unconscious. It took more than half a month for the news to be sent back to Beijing, which made the emperor furious!

Fusan was his companion when he was young, and he was loyal to him. He never even remarried. He only had one daughter under his knees. If something happened to Fushan... The emperor couldn't imagine what the frontier would look like!

The same is true in previous years. Every winter, the barbarians would invade the border to **** food, burn, kill, and loot. However, because Duke Cheng is in the army, they have never been able to get a good deal. Seriously injured!

The emperor immediately took the case and sent several imperial physicians to the frontier overnight, ordering them to cure Duke Cheng!

Knowing that Duke Cheng was seriously injured in a coma, there was an uproar in the court. For many years, Duke Cheng was the leader of the army, almost the only one in the family. With him, other generals would not want to stand out, although Duke Cheng was not a snatch. Military exploits are jealous of capable people, but now the world is at peace, and it is nothing more than fighting with barbarians. When something happens to Duke Cheng, there are definitely not a few people who want him to die.

The emperor obviously knew this. Although he wanted to be a wise king, he really didn't have the means. He could only be called a benevolent king. He was kind and generous to ministers who had made mistakes. The whole dynasty is like a giant tree eroded by moths. It looks mighty and majestic, but it is actually crumbling. It can be imagined that in another 20 to 30 years, when the prince ascends the throne, it must be a mess.

Because the emperor's ears are soft and he will be confused, the empress is more and more like walking on thin ice. Who can guarantee that the emperor loves the prince now and will be the same in the future?

Waiting for the prince to be in his prime, but he is getting old, will he still trust the prince?

Therefore, there must be nothing wrong with Chengguo Gong!

Gong Guogong is her and the prince's greatest support! He is also Linglong's father. If Duke Cheng really dies... She, the crown prince, and Linglong will suffer by no means the inconspicuous crisis that can be seen in front of them!

Linglong wanted to go with her when she learned that her father had an accident, but obviously she couldn't go, not to mention the emperor, even the queen and the crown prince would not agree to her going.

What does it look like for a fourteen-year-old girl to go to a barracks full of men? Do you still need fame?

The empress who loves her lost her temper for the first time and even grounded her! The prince wanted to intercede for her, but was reprimanded by the empress, saying that he followed along.

But the Empress dotes on her in the end. She can't stand it after being confined for a long time. She came to see Linglong in person. Linglong lives in the side hall of her bedroom. The Empress is still blaming herself. It's normal, she should hold the child in her arms and comfort her, how can she restrain her feet? Doesn't this make the child more uncomfortable?

As soon as the door was opened, no one was seen, and the empress was shocked, only to see a note on the table with a hairpin stuck in a hairpin:

Auntie, I'm going to find Daddy, and I'll bring you something delicious! do not worry about me!

The inscription also draws a chubby little girl, very cute.

The Queen's Concubine! fry! !

You little bastard!

She's so stupid!

You should have counted the butterflies and dragonflies when you came in just now!

Suppressing the anger and worry in her heart, the Empress hurriedly called someone in to stop them, but unfortunately the convoy had already left half a day ago... The Empress looked at the empty room, and tears rolled down her cheeks. Dead child... can't you just talk to her? She had to be cut first and then played to make her worry. What if something went wrong on the way? Did she go by herself, or did she hide in someone sent by the emperor?

If it's the latter, I can be a little relieved, but if it's the former...

The Empress is frightened when she thinks about it, what if such a beautiful little girl walks outside, even if the dragonfly is capable of martial arts? Where can you protect her?

The prince and the emperor also learned about this very quickly. The emperor was angry at first, worried and angry: "This Fushang Wu Ke really knows how to teach his daughter! Teach such a lawless little bastard!"

The Empress was wiping her tears when she heard the emperor say this and said angrily: "What does the emperor mean! What did Duke Cheng teach? I raised Linglong! The emperor means that I didn't teach it. Okay?!"

The emperor hurried to explain, but he was very happy in his heart, thinking that Zitong really had me in his heart, and he was so anxious that he didn't call himself a concubine.

Prince Prince is the calmest one. It is said that he has the best relationship with Linglong. He should be most worried, but he is unexpectedly calm: "Mother, Queen, Father, don't worry, Sister Linglong is very good. Let's learn riding and archery together. She's always the strongest, and she'll be fine."

The Empress said: "What do you know! This is learned in the palace, can it be the same as outside? There are three kinds of people outside, others don't know her identity, a little girl travels long distances to the frontier, how can I Don't worry? You can really do it. Your sister Linglong will share half of the delicious food with you on weekdays, and share the toys with you, but I don't think you are worried at all, you are really a white-eyed wolf!"

Prince:...

The Emperor:...

The most noble father and son in the world looked at each other helplessly, so they had to go to comfort the queen together. The emperor also ordered people to chase after him. In order to secure the heart of the queen, he also gave him a gold medal like my own presence. People handed over to Linglong.

Just when the Empress and Prince were worried, Linglong had already reached the frontier one step ahead of the convoy. Those imperial physicians were getting old, how could the speed of the carriage be as fast as that of the horse? Not to mention that the convoy had to rest and stop after passing the post station, and although the emperor's gold medal has not yet arrived, she has the tokens of the empress and the prince!

The whole way was unobstructed, and no one dared to stop her.

For convenience, she and Butterfly Dragonfly both dressed in men's clothing. When they arrived at the military camp, they went in smoothly, but they were stopped outside Duke Cheng's tent. Even if Linglong took out the prince's token, the other party would not allow it. She enters.

The people guarding the tent looked very faceless, not the uncles who followed their father.

Linglong squinted her eyes. Although she was young, she never forgot. When her father returned to Beijing, there was always a trusted family member by his side, but she had never seen this person before, and she kept her from her father's account. She went in... It seems that the military is not very peaceful.
