Lu Ze did not leave after all. He Yi lay beside Qi Yuning, just like in the past. But before, the two of them would always look at Lingling who was sleeping soundly beside them. But today, there is no Lingling, only the two of them, the fragrance of stacks and orchid intertwined. The ticking sound of spring rain could be heard outside. Qi Yuning said: "It's raining again." Lu Ze nodded lightly: "There will be a lot of spring rain this year." The two chatted one after another. Qi Yuning thought she could fall asleep due to sleepiness, but she became more and more awake because of her nervousness. She could hear the thumping sound coming from Lu Ze's heart. The spring rain outside was getting more and more intense, Qi Yuning said slowly: "I don't know if it's raining in Beicheng now. It's Lu Yun's first time to go to Beicheng. The spring weather in Beicheng is not something people can bear..." Lu Ze heard Qi Yuning mentioning Lu Yun and asked in a low voice: "Okay, why are you bringing him up?"
"After all, I am still unmarried..." Before the word husband could be spoken, Lu Ze's red lips swallowed it up. Lu Ze's kiss was very affectionate, and the sound of spring rain outside was like beads falling to the ground, covering up the ambiguous sounds in the room. Qi Yuning felt that her whole body was weak, and her hands and feet, which had been cold all year round, were also aroused by a wave of warmth. She never knew that the kiss between two people could be so beautiful. After a long time, with a blush on both of their faces, Lu Ze let go of Qi Yuning, and Qi Yuning could breathe smoothly. Lu Zelou hugged Qi Yuning tightly and sighed slightly: "If you and I were engaged today, I wouldn't want to endure it anymore." Qi Yuning understood what Lu Ze meant and her ears turned red. She pretended to sleep in Lu Ze's arms without saying anything. When Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning pretending to be asleep, he chuckled and tucked her hair behind her ears, hugged her tightly, and fell asleep together. …… The second day of February. It is the most lively Flower Goddess Festival among girls’ families in Shengjing City. A Ping came to Shengjing City for the first time and had never left the palace. When Qi Yuan learned about the excitement today, he took A Ping to Shengjing City to watch the excitement of the Flower Goddess Festival. Qi Yu'an is now considered a famous figure in Shengjing City. He helped a beautiful woman to the street, attracting many people's attention. It was the first time A Ping saw the bustle on the streets of Shengjing City, "It turns out that the Flower God Festival in Shengjing is so lively." Qi Yu'an nodded and said: "There will be a Hundred Flower Goddess parading through the streets later, with unmarried women pretending to be Flower Gods and scattering flowers." A Ping caressed her belly gently, fearing that too many people would harm the fetus. "Who is the woman next to King Qi?" "Does he look a bit like Prince Lu?" "I don't think so, but she does look like a great beauty."
The ladies and daughters who came to the street to join in the fun were all talking about the beauty next to Qi Yuan. "Not like Prince Lu, but more like Prince Lu's daughter. Princess Lingling looks very similar to her." "I just said that I have never seen Princess Qi pregnant. How could such a big daughter appear all of a sudden? Isn't this little Princess Qi the daughter of this girl?" "It's possible. We don't remember Princess Qi being pregnant." "But didn't Princess Pingrou say that she saw the birth of little Princess Lingling with her own eyes?" "In that situation, it is possible that Princess Pingrou came to rescue Princess Qi. Indeed, none of us have ever seen Princess Qi pregnant." Qin Yuli listened to everyone's discussion, held her hands tightly, and looked at Miss A Ping next to Qi Yu'an with burning eyes. She did look similar to Lingling. Maybe she is Lingling's biological mother. Qi Yu'an saw more and more eyes looking at A Ping, so he held A Ping in his arms and said, "Go back?" A Ping saw Youshen's Hundred Flowers team coming and said with a smile: "Let's see for a while." "King Qi." "Your Highness!" When Qi Yu'an heard the voice of His Highness the Crown Prince, he saluted and said, "See you, Your Highness." Qi Yu'an saw A Ping standing stiff and stunned at the side, and said to A Ping: "A Ping, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A Ping raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Chong in front of her. She was stunned for a while before bowing and saying, "See you, Your Highness." Zhao Chong lowered his eyes and glanced at A Ping, and said with a smile: "King Qi is so lucky, congratulations. " A Ping looked at Zhao Chong's kind face. He was much gentler than she thought. It was impossible not to resent his identity being taken away in her heart, but A Ping also knew very well that she could not hate Zhao Chong. When their identities were exchanged that year, Zhao Chong was just a baby. Although Zhao Chong took away her life, he couldn't blame him. Qi Yu'an smiled and said: "I heard that the prince has also decided on a princess, congratulations." Zhao Chong looked into A Ping's eyes and said, "This girl must be Ze'er's sister, she looks somewhat similar." Qi Yu'an said: "I don't think they look much alike, they just have peach blossom eyes." Zhao Chong took a deep look at Ah Ping. He had learned a few days ago that Qi Yuan insisted on marrying a girl from the mountains as his princess. He thought that Qi Yuan was crazy, but today he saw that girl Ah Ping was indeed pretty. A Ping saw Zhao Chong looking at her, and she whispered to Qi Yu'an: "Your Majesty, I want to leave." Qi Yu'an said to Zhao Chong: "Your Highness, A Ping is pregnant. It's not good to stay outside for a long time. Let's say goodbye first." Zhao Chong nodded and said: "Yes." After Aping returned to the palace, she drank a glass of warm water and calmed down. Qi Yuan looked at A Ping and said, "A Ping, why are you so afraid of His Highness?" A Ping raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yuan: "I'm not afraid of Your Highness." Qi Yu'an looked into A Ping's eyes, and when he saw that she was covering up, he guessed: "Is your identity related to His Highness?"
A Ping shook her head and said: "No, no, I have no identity." Qi Yu'an frowned slightly and said, "Pingping, we will be husband and wife. I don't want my wife to hide anything from me." A Ping wrapped her fingers around the handkerchief and said, "I didn't hide anything from you." Qi Yu'an snorted coldly and left A Ping's courtyard angrily. A Ping poured a glass of warm water and continued to sip it. In fact, Zhao Chong was her cousin. If Zhao Chong can really be a good prince and bring benefits to the people of the world, she will still have to keep the secret of her life experience secret for the rest of her life. Otherwise, why would it be necessary for her to cause wars to break out and all lives to be devastated? A Ping gently touched her lower abdomen. Her only wish now was for the baby in her belly to be born smoothly, healthy and safe. …… Imperial Mausoleum. After lunch, we set off back to the city. Lingling and Zhao Jie were inseparable. When Lingling got on the carriage, little Zhao Jie and Lingling staged a life-or-death farewell, which was so touching. Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Lingling, we can still come over to see my uncle during the Qingming Festival, which is only a month away." Lingling's eyes were red and she said to little Zhao Jie: "Uncle, wait for Lingling for a month. Lingling will come to play with you after a month." With tears in his eyes, Xiao Zhao Jie waved to Lingling and said, "Lingling, you must come!" Lingling nodded and said: "Lingling will come. Goodbye, little uncle." Lingling entered the carriage and cried in Qi Yuning's arms. Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and comforted her, "Okay, okay, it won't be long before I can see my little uncle." Lingling whimpered and said, "Why doesn't my little uncle return to the palace?" Qi Yuning said: "My little uncle is probably the safest among the imperial mausoleums." She thought that Zhao Jie's success in the battle for imperial power did not depend on ability, but on inconspicuousness and luck. Princess Duan and her little Zhao Jie were staying safely at the imperial mausoleum. Even if the war was raging outside, as long as people named Zhao were still fighting for the throne, Zhao Jie would be the safest. Zhao Jie's uncles would not touch their orphans and widowed mothers. After returning to the palace, it happened to be dinner time. Qi Yuning saw that something seemed wrong between Qi Yuan and Ah Ping. Ah Ping was eating quietly, while Qi Yuan had a straight face and was slightly annoyed. After the meal, Lingling was already a little sleepy. When Lu Ze was about to carry Lingling back to Chunjiang Courtyard, he was stopped by Qi Yuan. "Prince Lu, do you have time to have a drink with me?" Lu Ze handed Lingling to Qi Yuning and said, "Okay." Qi Yu'an took Lu Ze to a lake-centre pavilion in the palace. The sides of the lake-centre pavilion were hung with palace lanterns, bright as day. After Qi Yu Anping retired, he asked straight to the point: "What is A Ping's identity?"
