Chapter 13: Lady Diplomacy

Lin Mo glanced back at the beautiful woman, it was the white angelica orchid that was as elegant as an orchid.

Gently pulled Bai Zhilan to the cushion beside her and sat down, let her pill in her arms, and smiled softly: "That little lazy pig in Allure hasn't gotten up yet, is he trying to copy the Women's Sutra again?"

As he spoke, Lin Mo took off the cloak behind him and covered Bai Zhilan's body, remembering something: "Oh, by the way, Allure copied it last night." ”

Bai Zhilan enjoyed the warmth that her husband gave her on her face, and said gently: "Two days later, it will be the day you promised King Rong to solve the case, are you ready?"

Lin Mo said with relief: "Husband's good Zhilan, you can rest assured, everything is in the mastery of your husband, don't you know the ability of our Mo Sect Night Man and Mo Wei? ”

"It's good that the husband is sure. Bai Zhilan nodded her head, obviously trusting Lin Mo very much: "Sister Sorrow has been waiting for her husband to solve the case and have a round with her." ”

As he was talking, the eldest grandson came out of the corner of the corridor, followed by Xiao Wan and Liu Ruoshui.

"Come on, sit down beside your husband. ”

beckoned the eldest grandson to sit down beside him, looked at the eldest grandson and was a little tired, and said with concern: "What's the matter, Sorrow, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lin Mo was a little suspicious in his heart, he didn't do that with Baili Allure and Bai Zhilan last night, why did the eldest grandson look even more tired.

Seeing this, Bai Zhilan covered her mouth and said a smile: "The day of the cave room with her husband is approaching, and her heart is complicated, and she can't sleep." ”

Hearing Bai Zhilan's words, the eldest grandson Yuyin's face turned even redder, because it was all said by Bai Zhilan, and last night the eldest grandson was a little nervous when he remembered the night three days later, but he was more looking forward to it.

Seeing the eldest grandson's reaction, Lin Mo smiled gently, caressed the pretty face of the eldest grandson, and said softly: "Fool, what are you worried about, that is the way of nature, my husband is still looking forward to you giving birth to me." ”

was gently relieved by Lin Mo, and thinking of the warm scene of her husband being by her side and the child in her arms, the eldest grandson's nervous heart instantly relaxed.

Comforting the eldest grandson Yuyin, Lin Mo looked at Liu Ruoshui and said with appreciation: "Ruoshui did a good job, not only did he help Yuyin retrieve the Yixue Guqin, but also went to the account room to receive ten gold leaves, it should be regarded as a reward given to you by Lord Ben, and when the other thing that Lord Ben explained to you was completely done, Lord Ben is giving you a big reward." ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

Liu Ruoshui was overjoyed, turned around and wanted to go to the account room to receive the reward, but was immediately stopped by Lin Mo's voice: "Little girl, what's the hurry, let's pinch Lord Ben's shoulder first to refresh yourself." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Liu Ruoshui took small steps, walked behind Lin Mo and knelt down, a pair of murderous hands pressed on Lin Mo's shoulders with varying weights, and Lin Mo screamed comfortably.

Lin Mo enjoyed Liu Ruoshui's massage while appreciating: "Zhilan, melancholy, I'm really not lying to you, Ruoshui's massage skills are really amazing, it can refresh people and make people fall asleep." ”

Bai Zhilan and the eldest grandson Youyin were born noble, especially Bai Zhilan, especially the daughter of the princes, the lord of a country, where have they learned these kung fu to serve people, and said suspiciously: "Oh, yes, if the water comes to press Mrs. Ben." ”

Saying that, Bai Zhilan left in Lin Mo's arms and sat up straight, enjoying Liu Ruoshui's massage skills, and after a while, Bai Zhilan was pleasantly surprised: "Well, it's really as my husband said, it's really excellent, Ruoshui has learned it before." ”

Liu Ruoshui nodded and said: "If you go back to Mrs. Lan, the maid's family used to study medicine, and after a young age, she learned some medical theory from her grandfather, so she understands acupuncture points, and slowly practiced this hand massage skill." ”

"I see. ”

Lin Mo listened to Liu Ruoshui's words on the side, and secretly laughed in his heart: It is true that he has learned some medical theories, but I am afraid that it is for better killing.

Lin Mo knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything to debunk it, after all, Bai Zhilan knew that Liu Ruoshui was King Rong's spy, and she would definitely be able to tell the truth of her words.

Just as Bai Zhilan was comfortably enjoying the massage, Xi Fengxing came in and bowed: "Sect Master, Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Sorrow, King Rong has brought two ladies to visit. ”

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Interesting, this time I actually took Mrs. with me." ”

Lin Mo knew in his heart, it seemed that this King Rong was going to carry out lady diplomacy, so he said to the two girls beside him: "Zhilan, worry, let's go, come with me to meet." ”

When I came to the guest hall, I saw King Rong leading the richly dressed Xue Jingshu and the enchanting Xu Qiuniang waiting in the lobby.

Lin Mo and Bai Zhilan's eldest grandson hurriedly greeted him, and said in unison: "Meet His Royal Highness King Rong, princess Niangniang." ”

"Hurry up and excuse me. King Rong, who was full of modest smiles, hurriedly raised his hand to signal the three of them to be exempt, and then beckoned everyone to sit down in their seats.

Lin Mo sat down, first took a quick look at King Rong's two wives, and found that they were all people with good looks: this King Rong is blessed.

Xue Jingshu, who has been guarding the empty boudoir for eight years, was loved by the masked man in black last night, and her complexion has become very good today, sweeping away the resentment of the past, and her face is ruddy.

And Xu Qiuniang, although her posture is dignified at the moment, Lin Mo can see that this woman must be a vixen on weekdays, because her whole body exudes a charming atmosphere.

The thought in his heart fell, Lin Mo retracted his mind and said respectfully to King Rong: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Rong suddenly came to the door, what do you have to order?"

King Rong said with some shame: "It's a little ashamed to say, it's the two wives of this king, I want to visit Lin Shangqing and your three wives, and I want to follow them to learn calligraphy and painting, stroking the qin, and swordsmanship." ”

"Oh, the two princesses also like these?" Lin Mo was slightly surprised.

"Yes!" King Rong nodded, pointed to Xue Jingshu and Xu Qiuniang with his palm, and said with a smile: "This is the main concubine of this king, Ji Xue's Jingshu, who loves calligraphy and painting, and this is the side concubine of this king, Ji Xu's Qiuniang, who loves piano and swordsmanship, so I came to ask Lin Shangqing's three ladies for advice." ”

Today's coming to the Lin Mansion is a strategy by Xu Qiuniang for King Rong, saying that it is the women in the inner courtyard of the two mansions to communicate with each other, which is conducive to King Rong to better recruit and win over Lin Mo.

For Xu Qiuniang's idea, King Rong applauded, so after having breakfast and saying hello to Xue Jingshu, King Rong wanted to take Xu Qiuniang to Lin Mansion.

Although King Rong has a bad relationship with Xue Jingshu now, he still has to do enough on the surface, after all, his father is Xue Xu, the Duke of Jieguo, who has 350,000 yuan.

Therefore, whenever he goes out, King Rong always has to say hello to Concubine Xue Jingshu, but as soon as he said this, Xue Jingshu actually wanted to go together, saying that he hadn't been out of the house for too long and wanted to go out of the house.

Seeing that Xue Jingshu's face was better and her mood was quite happy, King Rong only thought that Xue Jingshu was in a good mood and was interested, so he took her to visit the door.

"For the two princesses, how can they ask for advice, just learn from each other. Saying that, Lin Mo hurriedly instructed Bai Zhilan and the eldest grandson Youyin: "Zhilan, Zhaoyin, take the two of you to the inner courtyard quickly, and you can have a discussion with each other." ”

"Yes, husband. ”

Bai Zhilan and the eldest grandson Wuyin said in unison, said goodbye to King Rong, and led Xue Jingshu and Xu Qiuniang to the inner courtyard slowly.

Seeing that the women were leaving, King Rong Zhengse said: "Lin Shangqing, how sure are you about the incident the night after tomorrow, if you make a mistake, this king will be unlucky, then he will lead troops to break into the mansion of the country." ”

Lin Mo's face turned cold and said, "What's the matter, His Royal Highness King Rong doesn't believe it?"

Feeling the coldness in Lin Mo's tone, King Rong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lin Shangqing, don't misunderstand, this king must believe you, I just want to ask you how sure you are, and this king has a good bottom in his heart." ”

Lin Mo softened his tone slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "Nine points sure." ”

"Nine points sure?" King Rong was slightly startled, and said with some concern: "So, Lin Shangqing is not very sure?"

"His Royal Highness King Rong is very sure?" Lin Mo smiled faintly: "Your Royal Highness King Rong must also know that how can things in this world be very sure, don't you have to trade a little risk." ”

This is the truth that the king knows. ”

"It's good that His Royal Highness King Rong knows. Lin Mo smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Besides, the slightest bit of confidence in Xia Shao comes from Your Highness?"

"This king?" King Rong was puzzled: "What does Lin Shangqing mean by this?"

Lin Mo said lightly: "Over the years, you and the Hou Party have confronted each other, although they have maintained a certain balance, but you have not sent spies to the Hou Party, right?"

"In other words, the Hou Party must have sent a lot of spies to your side, if the spies pass the news of this matter to the Hou Party, the consequences must be conceivable for His Royal Highness King Rong, right?"

Lin Mo's words were like needles, King Rong's face also became solemn, the atmosphere was silent for a moment, King Rong's right hand was clenched into a fist, and said: "Lin Shangqing rest assured, to participate in the plan the night after tomorrow, this king must use his own henchmen." ”

Lin Mo said "um", and comforted King Rong again: "Your Royal Highness King Rong, don't worry, as long as there is no mistake on your side, if you act according to the plan, the Shan Guo Mansion will fall." ”

"Well, this king believes in Lin Shangqing. ”

The inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

In the courtyard, the pleasant sound of the piano surrounds, but it is not the eldest grandson who is caressing, the current person who caress the piano is the side concubine of King Rong, Xu Qiuniang.

Xu Qiuniang originally wanted to ask Baili Allure for swordsmanship first, but Baili Allure was not that interested, and at this time it was not yet time (9:00) when she slept soundly, how could she be in the mood to pay attention to people.

Even if she heard that Xu Qiuniang was the concubine of King Rong, Baili Allure still ignored her, but covered the quilt and slept by herself.

For Baili Allure, Lin Mo is the first, the second is sleeping, and then Bai Zhilan and others, and the rest are all behind, depending on the mood of this girl.

Helpless, Xu Qiuniang had no choice but to ask her eldest grandson Yuyin for piano skills first.

When Xu Qiuniang finished playing, it was the turn of the eldest grandson to worry about it.

I saw the ten slender jade fingers of the eldest grandson's melancholy dancing on the piano, like an excellent dancer, flowing through the clouds and flowing water, and the melodious and light sound of fairy music wafted out, as if adding a little vitality to this winter day.

After a few moments, the piano stopped.

The air was silent for a long time, and then there was a round of applause, and Xu Qiuniang's face was full of admiration: "Sister Yuyin is really amazing, sister is really ashamed." ”

The eldest grandson got up and gave a salute, and said respectfully: "What did the princess say, your piano skills are extraordinary, and the little girl is just a little understanding." ”

"Sister Sorrow doesn't have to be humble. With that, Xu Qiuniang pulled the eldest grandson Yuyin to sit down on the cushion on the corridor.

Pouring a cup of hot tea for the eldest grandson Yuyin, Xu Qiuniang smiled charmingly and said: "But Sister Youyin, the style of your piano music has changed really much, my sister heard that Sister Yuyin used to play those complaining and sad songs, but now it is an extremely cheerful and pleasant song." ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Time has passed, and the little girl may never play those resentful tunes in the past, and she won't be able to play them well." ”

"That's really congratulations to Sister Sorrow. Xu Qiuniang lowered her voice: "In the past, my sister was miserable and resentful, but now she is favored by her husband, and of course the song should be cheerful and smart." ”

"What the princess said is very true. ”

Bedroom hall.

Xue Jingshu and Bai Zhilan were appreciating calligraphy and painting, and it could be seen from the smiles on the faces of the two girls that they were chatting very closely, Xue Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Zhilan, my sister has really met a bosom friend, and the two of us are really beautiful women and cherish beautiful women." ”

"Princess, it's a joke. Bai Zhilan said humbly and politely: "Where is the little girl a beauty, only you are worthy of the name of this beauty." ”

"Sister Zhilan, don't call me Princess Niangniang. Xue Jingshu took Bai Zhilan's hand and said with a smile: "We talked so closely, let's call me Sister Jingshu in the future." ”

Bai Zhilan hurriedly said: "How can this be made, princess, your identity is respected." ”

"My sister's status is not low, but I am the second lady of the first class. Xue Jingshu said sincerely: "Sister Zhilan, just promise my sister." ”

Seeing that Xue Jingshu's eyes were so sincere, Bai Zhilan did not refuse, and said politely: "Okay, my sister has seen Sister Jingshu." ”

"Well, Sister Zhilan is good. Xue Jingshu laughed happily.

"Sister Jingshu is good. Bai Zhilan was also happy to be able to make friends with a bosom friend in calligraphy and painting: "Sister Jingshu, my sister sees that you are in a happy mood and have a ruddy complexion, you must be very affectionate with His Royal Highness King Rong, right?"

Hearing this, Xue Jingshu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, the prince is an ambitious person, and it is really an honor for my sister to have such a husband." ”

Saying that, Xue Jingshu's words changed sharply: "Sister Zhilan's husband is also very good to you, if it's not good, you can tell your sister Oh, my sister is angry for you." ”

"I don't think so, Sister Jingshu. Bai Zhilan's face turned slightly red and said: "Although my sister's husband is a little fraternal, he really treats his sister very well and is considerate." ”

"That's great!"

Half an hour later, in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion.

Bowing down and sending off King Rong and the others, Lin Mo turned to look at the two girls beside him and asked, "How are you getting along with the two princesses?"

Bai Zhilan was the first to speak: "Very good, the concubine and Sister Jingshu get along very well, especially in calligraphy and painting, it's almost late." ”

Lin Mo nodded knowingly.

"That Xu Qiuniang is too bewitching, just like the fox spirit who sucks men's yang energy, and the concubine doesn't like it. The eldest grandson said with some sneer: "It is clear that the piano skills are superb, but it is clumsy and hypocritical." ”

Lin Mo doted on the jade hand of the eldest grandson Sorrow, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't like it, Sorrow will get along with her friendly, I guess you will have to deal with it in the future." ”

"Yes, this truth, the concubine understands herself. The eldest grandson nodded obediently: "Don't worry, husband, the surface is fine, and the concubine will be fine." ”

Lin Mo nodded, led the two girls to the inner courtyard, walked through the courtyard, walked to the front of the porch, and was just about to push the door into the house, when a woman wearing a red gauze light coat fell into Lin Mo's arms.

Of course, the woman is a hundred miles into the city.

Baili Allure wrapped his legs around Lin Mo's waist, wrapped his hands around Lin Mo's neck, and immediately gave Lin Mo a fragrant and long kiss, and then said coquettishly: "Husband, is it okay to go shopping with your concubine today?"

"Husband's little lazy pig is finally willing to give up?" Lin Mo gently held the city for hundreds of miles, and said dotingly, "Okay, the husband just has two days of rest, and after a while, the husband will take you, as well as your sister Zhilan and sister Yuyin, go to Qiantian City." ”

Baili Allure gave Lin Mo a fragrant kiss again, and said happily: "Husband, you are so good, Allure really loves you to death, Allure is really lucky to marry the best and best husband in the world." ”

"Okay, okay, it's been praised. Lin Mo pinched the hundred-mile Yao nose and said softly: "Little lazy pig, go and change the red gauze pajamas on your body, husband will take you out." ”

"Thank you, husband. Baili Allure jumped down from Lin Mo, ran into the house, and got busy.

Looking at the lively and cheerful Baili Alluring City, Lin Mo and the noble and elegant Bai Zhilan, the gentle and delicate eldest grandson looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.

Return to the four horses of the Rong Palace.

Xue Jingshu ignored King Rong and Xu Qiuniang, and quietly looked at the pedestrians and buildings outside the window through the car window, with a shallow knowing smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Qiu Niang, how are you getting along with Lin Mo's wives?" Knowing that he had a bad relationship with Xue Jingshu, King Rong didn't bother her, but asked Xu Qiuniang directly.

Xu Qiuniang snuggled into King Rong's arms, and said with a bewitching smile: "Lord, with Qiu Niang's move, you still don't worry, naturally you get along well with Lin Mo's wife." ”

"That's fine. King Rong hugged Xu Qiuniang in his arms and said with a smile: "That's good, with this relationship, Lin Mo will definitely be more inclined to this king, you and Jingshu should often associate with Lin Mo's wife and have a good relationship, do you know?"

"Got it, Lord Wang!" Xu Qiuniang lay in King Rong's arms, and said in a greasy voice: "Qiu Niang thinks so much about you, then the prince should love Qiu Niang even more!"

King Rong laughed loudly: "That's nature, you are the king's little heart." ”

Listening to the tired words of the two, Xue Jingshu's face only changed slightly, and she didn't pay attention to the two of them, just turned sideways and quietly looked out of the car window, and after a while, she showed a look of reminiscence.

After a long time, the four horses stopped in front of the door of King Rong's mansion.

As soon as the three of them got out of the car, King Rong said: "Jingshu, Qiu Niang, this king and Di Wu still have an important matter to do, and this king will not enter the mansion." ”

Xu Qiuniang knew that King Rong was going to personally select the moving soldiers day and night, so she smiled charmingly, stepped forward to tidy up the placket of King Rong's clothes, and said, "Lord Wang, go back quickly, the slave family will miss you." ”

King Rong nodded, looked at Xue Jingshu, saw that Xue Jingshu had already walked to the mansion, smiled awkwardly, rode on the horse led by the palace guards, and galloped away with Di Wu.

Seeing King Rong away, the corners of Xu Qiuniang's mouth hooked a faint and complicated smile, quickly followed Xue Jingshu in front, and said in a low voice: "Congratulations, Sister Jingshu, your face is ruddy, you must be secretly glowing with the second spring of life!"

Xue Jingshu's heart trembled, she hurriedly calmed down, and said coldly: "Xu Qiuniang, you slut, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean, I'm a slut?" Xu Qiuniang smiled faintly and whispered in Xue Jingshu's ear, and after a while, after Xu Qiuniang finished speaking, Xue Jingshu's body stiffened and froze in place.

Seeing Xue Jingshu's reaction, Xu Qiuniang smiled charmingly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, my good sister Jingshu, the little sister won't tell the prince, we are all women, why should women be embarrassed by women?"

After speaking, Xu Qiuniang walked away, leaving Xue Jingshu frozen in place, and after a while, Xue Jingshu's face was cold, and she snorted coldly in her heart, and then brushed her sleeves away.
