Chapter 12 Qi Yuning is not worthy to enter the gate of Lu Mansion Lingling didn't understand the meaning of Qi Yuning's words, so she whispered: "Dear mother, Lingling just wants to call her daddy."
Qi Yuning comforted her: "Lingling can call daddy when there are no outsiders, but she is not allowed to call daddy in front of others. If Lingling can insist on not calling daddy, mother will take you to ride a horse!"
Lingling raised her arms and said, "Okay!"
Lingling said to Lu Ze guiltily: "Daddy, don't be angry. Lingling will call you daddy more often when no one is around."
Lu Ze smiled softly and scratched Lingling's little nose.
Lu Ze thought to himself that he and Qi Yuning would definitely get married in a year, and he couldn't bear the thought of Lingling not being able to come to this world.
……
The imperial edict that Princess Qi's daughter was named Princess of Xichang was promulgated the next day.
Prince Qi's Mansion sent out invitations widely and held a banquet at the Prince's Mansion to congratulate the little princess on her canonization. The entire capital was in an uproar.
Qi Yuning chose the date of the banquet on August 29th. Although the banquet date was a little rushed, the various preparations that the family had made for the wedding banquet were not wasted.
There were many guests who had traveled thousands of miles to attend Qi Yuning's wedding banquet, and their trip was not in vain.
Princess Pingrou was unhappy when she received the invitation from Prince Qi's Mansion next door.
Princess Pingrou went to the study to find Lu Ze, "Lingling is a child of my Lu family. She was granted the title of princess. She should hold a banquet at our princess's mansion. Why are she still holding a banquet at Prince Qi's mansion?"
Lu Ze stood up and said: "Mom, if the princess and I openly admit that we have a daughter now, my brother will definitely be a cheat and will not stay in the temple anymore, so Princess Qi wants to hide the identity of Lingling's father from the outside."
Princess Pingrou said helplessly: "Why don't you admit that Lingling is your daughter, but Princess Qi doesn't? This will also be better for her reputation."
Lu Ze said: "Princess Qi is unwilling."
If he really dared to suggest this, he thought, Qi Yuning would have taken Lingling to the Qi family ancestral hall and changed her name to Qi Yiling today.
……
In Guanfu.
Guan Yao entered the hall with a livid face, called Guan Zhiyi and roared: "What big trouble have you caused out there, you little beast? Your Majesty specifically reprimanded me after the court this morning, saying that I was lax in raising my daughter, the daughter of the Guan family. Full of foul language!”
Guan Zhiyi trembled and said, "Father, I don't. I rarely go out, and I don't even speak dirty words."
Mrs. Guan hurried over and said, "Master, why did Your Majesty reprimand our daughter of the Guan family in public this morning? As soon as the eldest sister sent a letter to say this, she didn't even know what happened, and she was scolded by her mother-in-law."
Guan Yao pointed at Guan Zhiyi and said, "Think carefully, otherwise, you will never want to marry a good family in the future!"
Guan Zhiyi thought about it, and there was only one possibility. He met Lu Ze's illegitimate daughter in Yunyi Pavilion a few days ago.
"Father, I know who I have offended. A few days ago, I bumped into Prince Lu's illegitimate daughter and her mother. The illegitimate daughter's mother was very domineering, but even after giving birth to a daughter, the Lu family did not give her a birthright. It's just a small outer room, and that small outer room is also capable, and it actually fascinated Prince Lu to complain."
Guan Zhiyi continued: "Don't worry, father, my daughter will solve this matter. My daughter will go to the Duke Lu's Mansion now."
Mrs. Guan frowned and said: "Xiao Liu, you want to plan your noble son-in-law, and my mother will follow you. Your fifth sister got married to the man she wanted. Thanks to your plan when you came to Beijing, my mother is thinking of you."
But if you go too far and damage the Guan family's reputation, don't blame your mother for not sparing you!I can only choose a similar family to marry you to! "
"Yes." Guan Zhiyi responded repeatedly.
When Guan Zhiyi arrived at Lu Guogong's mansion.
Mrs. Shanci, the old lady of Duke Lu's mansion, lives in the house. The second wife of Lu, the third wife of Lu, are all there, as well as the three young ladies in the second and third bedrooms of the Lu . Lu saw Guan Zhiyi coming and said, "Zhiyi, you are here."
Guan Zhiyi stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Lu."
Mrs. Lu looked at the little round face in front of her and said with a smile: "Call me my grandma and I will go out. If it weren't for you at that time, I would have been having tea with the King of Hell by now. Just call me grandma. Anyway, That’s what we’ll be called from now on.”
Guan Zhiyi said repeatedly: "No, no, Mrs. Lu, I don't dare to call you grandma, Prince Lu. I'm afraid Prince Lu won't want to."
Mrs. Lu held Guan Zhiyi's hand and said, "Why doesn't he want to? Last time I told him that I found him a lucky little wife. Hearing that it was you, he was very willing."
Guan Zhiyi lowered his head and said, "Old madam, didn't Prince Lu tell you? He has already gone to the Guan family and said that the oral engagement was just a joke and does not count."
Mrs. Lu held Guan Zhiyi's hand tightly. She was really happy about Guan Zhiyi's child. Her eldest granddaughter, Lu Baozhu, had acquired the dandy habits of having a princess mother, and she didn't look like a woman at all.
The granddaughter of the second wife, who is sixteen years old, only knows how to recite poems and write poetry. She wants to be famous for her talents and goes to the boys' academy all day long.
The two twin granddaughters of the third room are 15 years old. They spend all day wielding swords and guns. They say they want to continue Lu Guogong's reputation. They go in and out of the military camp to fight and kill all day long.
Of the four granddaughters in total, none of them won the heart of Mrs. Lu. At the temple, I met Guan Zhiyi, who was famous in Shengjing. She was small and round, and had a small family. She was very virtuous and could manage the household. Although she was born as a concubine, she was He is also well-behaved and able to please others, and Mrs. Lu is extremely satisfied.
When she learned that Lu Ze had actually canceled the oral engagement, Madam Lu said angrily: "Ze'er, this kid is so confused! Come on, go to the Princess Mansion and invite the prince here!"
Guan Zhiyi said repeatedly: "No, old lady, don't go looking for the crown prince. I saved you with my own efforts without asking for anything in return. I am a concubine from a small official family, and I am really not worthy of the crown prince of the princess palace." Yes, the prince wants to cancel the engagement, and I have nothing to say."
After hearing what Guan Zhiyi said, Mrs. Lu didn't let anyone go to Lu Ze. She felt even more distressed and said: "What's wrong with being a commoner or not? If you ask me, you are much better than my direct granddaughters. "
The three granddaughters of the Lu family couldn't help but hum. The Second Madam Lu and the Third Madam Lu looked at their daughters repeatedly.
Mrs. Lu patted Guan Zhiyi's hand and said, "Don't worry, my granddaughter-in-law will only be you."
Guan Zhiyi lowered his head and said: "Old madam, Zhiyi doesn't dare to climb high branches, but old madam is so good to Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu is also afraid that some pheasants who want to climb high branches will insult the reputation of Lu Guogong's palace, so I came here to remind me today. people."
Mrs. Lu asked: "Zhiyi, what do you mean?"
Guan Zhiyi whispered: "The reason why Prince Lu broke off the engagement is because he has a daughter. I met the Crown Prince's daughter in Yunyi Pavilion two days ago.
I saw how cute Lu Shizi's daughter was, so I went up to say hello. Unexpectedly, there was a charming-looking woman, who must be Lu Shizi's daughter's biological mother. She said that I was not worthy of touching Lu Shizi's daughter, and even allowed her maid to break my wrist.
I was very angry about having my wrist broken, so I said that the child was just an illegitimate daughter.
Unexpectedly, the outer chamber asked Prince Lu to complain to His Majesty. Your Majesty severely reprimanded my father, but I respect the old lady as a person and do not want the illegitimate daughter and her mother to ruin the Lu family's prestige. "
Mrs. Lu slapped the table and said angrily, "Lu Ze actually had a daughter before marriage?"
Lu Baohua, the second young lady of the Lu family, asked: "Grandma, who else has a daughter before marriage?"
Mrs. Lu pointed to the east, "Princess Qi also had a daughter before marriage, and she had the nerve to go to His Majesty to consecrate her daughter to the title of Princess of Xichang. Having an unmarried daughter is extremely shameless, and she even forced my precious grandson Yun'er to become a monk! Such an unruly woman, fortunately Yun'er did not marry her, Qi Yuning is not worthy of entering my Lu family! "
Old Mrs. Lu said to Guan Zhiyi again: "Zhiyi, don't worry, the Lu family's concubine will only be you. Lu Ze, the little goblin from the outer chamber, can't even imagine that the mother is rich because of the daughter. The little evil girl born from the outer chamber, The Lu family won’t admit it either! That foreign concubine can’t even hope to be the crown prince concubine of Duke Lu’s palace!”
Guan Zhiyi smiled inwardly, and said with concern on her face: "Old madam, don't be angry, your body and bones are important."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "You are such a considerate girl!"
