With one phrase "auspicious features for bearing sons," Shen Lingshu was bestowed to Prince Lin and became a lowly concubine.
Her legitimate elder sister Shen Lingyi, who married high...
Chapter 94 Aunt Lin is quite capable
Lingshu, you are so sensible.
Chu Cong pulled her into his arms and said, "The end of the month will be the anniversary of our mother's death. Every year at this time, we go to Lingtai Mountain to perform rituals and pray for our mother. Are you willing to go?"
"Yes, yes."
Shen Lingshu nodded excitedly. In the script, there was no plot about Lingtai Mountain at this time. After all, she was pregnant at the time. Now, she got pregnant and gave birth early, so she caught up.
In a year, the prince will be exiled for the second time in Lingtai Mountain. Let’s go and take a look at the environment first. Maybe next year, he will be able to join in the fun!
She has been trapped in the backyard of the palace, so she really likes to go to Lingtai Mountain!
"Then get ready. It's very fresh over there in Lingtai Mountain. Bring some more clothes." Chu Cong lowered his head, looked at her sparkling eyes and rosy lips, leaned over, and kissed her directly.
The next day, when Shen Lingshu was preparing her clothes, the news of going to Lingtai Mountain also spread in the mansion.
In order to be able to go to Lingtai Mountain, Qi Qing came to curry favor with Concubine Fang every morning and evening.
"Master, how about we go too?"
Die Lan said anxiously: "I heard that Concubine Shen has confirmed that she will go. If Concubine Qi goes, the master may not be able to go."
"No need."
Cheng Lanshu shook his head and said, "I have just been in the palace for less than two months. There is nothing wrong with staying here."
The most important thing is that she sees Concubine Fang is sweet-mouthed but has a sharp tongue. Can she really watch Concubine Shen gain favor?
She was just a concubine, so she didn't go.
Qiutang Courtyard.
"It seems that Aunt Lin is quite capable." Concubine Fang stared at Aunt Lin, her pale face and sickly body. Did she really let her find the prince and get him to agree to let her leave the house?
"I am also concerned about my uncle. After all, he is the only relative I have left." Lin Baozhu covered her face with a look of discomfort, her body weak as she leaned on the chair, as if she was going to faint in the next moment.
"Okay, go early and come back early."
When Concubine Fang saw her like this, she urged her to leave quickly with disgust.
After getting permission, Lin Baozhu walked out of Qiutang Courtyard, stopping every few steps.
"This sickly child, only the prince has pity for him." Concubine Fang said angrily, and asked: "Madam Gui, didn't you say that she is not allowed to arrange to serve the prince? What if the prince gets sick?"
"Concubine, yesterday evening, she was playing the piano at the gate of Meixiang Courtyard, and by chance, the prince heard it."
As Nanny Gui explained, Concubine Fang's face darkened: "Each of them is obsessed with seducing the prince."
Two days ago, Aunt Qi went to pick lotus flowers and happened to meet the prince. They went boating together. For two consecutive days, the prince went to Aunt Qi's yard.
Due to an oversight, Aunt Lin actually started vying for favor in order to return to her parents' home?
"Where's Cheng?"
Concubine Fang asked, and Shen Lingshu didn't say anything. Even if she didn't do anything fancy, the prince would have rested in her yard for more than half a month, and his favor never faded.
Aunt Qi picked lotus flowers, went boating together, and Aunt Lin played the piano...
Cheng Lanshu was quiet, however.
"Madam Cheng, there's nothing else going on." Aunt Gui shook her head hesitantly, "How about I go and take another look?"
"Go ahead."
After Concubine Fang sent Nanny Gui away, she began to think about who to take with her to Lingtai Mountain this time.
Li Susu from Fengdanyuan is now being carefully taken care of by Aunt Hua. Everything in the courtyard has been checked one by one, and a small canteen has been prepared. Even if she wants to ask for help, she has no way.
Then...
Concubine Fang plucked the jasmine flowers that she had just picked from her hands, and not a single leaf was left. She couldn't let Shen Lingshu continue to be favored like this, otherwise, with her fertile body, wouldn't she get pregnant again soon?
Youlan Courtyard.
Shen Lingshu confirmed again and again and asked: "Doctor Lin, if I drink this medicine, it won't affect my body or my future pregnancy, right?"
If it were in modern times, Shen Lingshu would only need to give birth to one child, and raising a pair of daughters would be her happiest thing.
But in Mu Ning Kingdom, in the palace, Shen Lingshu knew very well that in order to avoid tragedy, she still had to give birth. Only with more children could she gain a firm foothold here.
"Don't worry, Concubine. It will definitely not have any impact." Doctor Lin said firmly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Lin."
As Shen Lingshu spoke, she asked Zhuxin to give the money. After sending Doctor Lin away, she asked someone to buy the medicine back.
She has been in confinement for forty-five days and will be going to Lingtai Mountain soon. It is the anniversary of the late queen's death, so she naturally cannot do anything. But after going to Lingtai Mountain, she must give the prince an unforgettable memory.
But, what should we do?
Hai Jiaren used to sing, but she was not good at it, so she could only sing children's songs.
Aunt Li can dance, but she hasn't prepared any dance costumes or music, so it's not suitable.
Aunt Qi picking lotus flowers? Go boating together.
Shen Lingshu just passed by it. Wasn't that night in the reed marsh more memorable than the other nights of boating?
Aunt Lin plays the piano, so what can she do?
Shen Lingshu thought about it for a whole day, and finally decided to decorate her Youlan Courtyard. She wanted to make Youlan Courtyard a harbor where the prince would want to return when he was tired, and give the prince the feeling of home.
Shen Lingshu's eyes were fixed on the west wing and the east side hall, which was where her two daughters lived. However, the west side hall had always been empty. She immediately looked for Zhu Xin and said, "Zhu Xin, can the west side hall be renovated?"
"Of course." Zhu Xin nodded affirmatively and said, "Master, the prince said that the entire Youlan Courtyard is yours."
"Find a craftsman to build a floor-to-ceiling window with grilles in the back room. When you open the window, you can see the small garden behind the room. Then put a small table on the balcony, not the viewing platform, and lay a carpet..."
When the time comes, wouldn’t it be a leisurely life to snuggle up on a soft sofa with a book and a cup of tea?
Shen Lingshu's idea was so beautiful that Zhu Xin felt dizzy after hearing it. Finally, she directly called all the craftsmen over. Shen Lingshu directed them for a whole day and was very satisfied when she saw the freshly baked little corner for viewing the scenery.
Shen Lingshu spread the soft carpet and said, "Zhu Xin, bring An An and Bei Bei over. There is also a small table. We will have dinner here today."
Shen Lingshu leaned against the temporary cushion and the soft backrest. Although it was not as comfortable as a sofa, it was soft to sit on and lean against, which was also very comfortable.
Holding a cup of tea, she contentedly admired the flowers in front of her. As the evening breeze blew by, the jasmine and roses were moved outside the yard. Behind them was a high courtyard wall, and above that, the setting sun.
beautiful.
If the wall in front of me were replaced with the beautiful scenery on the high platform, this sunset would be worth a fortune.
Chu Cong had just entered Youlan Courtyard when he learned that Chen Lingshu was in the West Wing Hall. He curiously walked into the empty West Wing Hall, passed the screen, and entered the inner room...
Where is the window?
Chu Cong saw Shen Lingshu leaning softly on the pillow at a glance, the afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled on her side face, emitting a bright glow.
The sunset seemed to dye her hair golden.
Sensing someone coming, Shen Lingshu turned around, the corners of her lips slightly raised.
A smile when looking back makes her full of charm.
Bang, bang, bang.
Chu Cong walked forward step by step, his inky eyes becoming darker and darker.
