Qi Yuning mentioned that she would take the little emperor out to see the lotus leaves among the people, but he kept his promise. It happened to be the Chinese Valentine's Day holiday, so he took little Zhao Jie to her village in the countryside of Shengjing City. Zhuangzi was quite lively. It happened that Aunt Li in Zhuangzi had just given birth to a son safely today, and they happened to catch up with her. This Aunt Li was not very old, only twenty-five. She was originally a maid next to Qi Yuan. After Qi Yuan went to the military camp, she did not follow him and married the head of the village of Qi family. Although she is only twenty-five, she already has three children, and today this is her fourth. Aunt Li also had a hard life. Her husband died shortly after she was pregnant with this baby. Qi Yuning had heard about this before. He cared about her being in trouble with several children alone, so he asked her to continue to stay in Zhuangzi and take care of him. When this child was born today, he also lost a father. Overjoyed or not, Qi Yuning was pregnant with the child and could not go to the delivery room to see Aunt Li, so he asked Li Chun to carry the newborn child to her yard and show it to her. Little Zhao Jie stepped forward and looked at the newly born child and said: "He is so small!" Qi Yuning looked at the blushing child and felt as if he had been kicked in the stomach. He thought that if Lingling was here, she would definitely want to see this child.
Qi Yuning looked at the soft little baby boy and smiled lightly, and said to Lu Ze: "Sister Ali used to be my brother's personal maid, and his parents are both loyal servants of the Qi family. I think, let her do the spiritual work." How about the spiritual nurse?" Qi Yuning has already found several nannies for Lingling, and Princess Pingrou has also found several for Qi Yuning. But Qi Yuning was mostly dissatisfied. Ah Li is relieved, and now that Ah Li has lost her husband, it is difficult for a woman to bring four young children in Zhuangzi. It is better for her to go to the princess's house to be a nanny, and she can also provide The four young children were given a shelter. Lu Ze also knew that Qi Yuning and his mother had put a lot of effort into Lingling's nanny. They had chosen her many times since Qi Yuning was pregnant. "Since she is a loyal servant of the Qi family, it is just right." Qi Yuning didn't know that a child would be born today, so she didn't prepare any gifts in advance. She only gave the newborn boy a small dagger inlaid with rubies that she carried for self-defense. Zhao Jie gave him a gold lock that he carried with him. Qi Yuning saw this and said, "Your Majesty, this is your golden lock. You cannot give it away casually." Zhao Jie said: "I like this little brother. When this little brother grows up, I will let him come and play with me." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said: "When he grows up, Your Majesty will be too old and may not want to play with him, but he has an older brother who happens to be the same age as Your Majesty, so we can play together." Zhao Jie smiled lightly and said, "I want to go and play with him." Qi Yuning let Chu Qin take Zhao Jie to play with A Li's son Chu Qing, and asked Li Chun to go find A Li and ask if he wanted to be Lingling's nanny. Qi Yuning held the newborn baby in her arms and didn't want to let go. Lu Ze couldn't help but feel a little jealous and said: "Holding someone else's child, the little soul is jealous." Qi Yuning smiled and said: "It's not Lingling who is jealous, it's Lingling's father who is jealous. Don't tell me, I really like this child when I see him. This child is destined to me, so it doesn't hurt to accept him as my godson. " "Ouch!" Qi Yuning felt a strong kick in his stomach, took a breath, and even handed the child in his arms to Gu Yu. Qi Yuning touched his belly and said, "I don't recognize him as my godson anymore. Little ancestor, please don't kick me!" Lu Ze walked up to Qi Yuning, and when he saw her thin clothes, he could see his belly moving. Lu Ze smiled lightly and said, "You say Lingling is jealous, you still don't believe it, even if you hug Brother Yuan, she will You can be jealous, but you still want to recognize a godson, how can Lingling be happy?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "What a jealous person!" Li Chun came back almost half an hour later, and said to Qi Yuning: "Princess, Ali has agreed to be the nanny of the little princess, but she has a concern. After all, she will be a posthumous child. She is afraid that Unlucky..." Qi Yuning smiled and said: "I only want someone who is loyal and capable to Lingling. Nothing else matters. Why are there so many taboos?" Li Chun said with a smile: "That's what I told her, sister Ali will definitely be loyal to the little princess." At the time of Shen, Qi Yuning came out of Zhuangzi and heard laughter from a distance. In the middle of the river, a little girl of eight or nine years old was rowing a boat with a bamboo pole. A little boy of five or six years old and a three-year-old child were picking lotus leaves and lotus pods. Zhao Jie was also on the small wooden boat, picking lotus pods for a while. , playing in the water for a while, having fun, laughing very happily. There were also several boats on both sides with guards and palace people on board. Qi Yuning felt another movement coming from her belly. She touched her belly and said, "Even if you want to play, you have to wait a little longer, but don't kick me anymore." Lu Ze asked Qi Yuning, "Lingling kicked you again?" Qi Yuning nodded and said, "With such excitement, how could Lingling not be moved?" After the group of children rowed ashore, the eight or nine-year-old girl walked up to Qi Yuning, knelt down and saluted, "Princess Princess." Qi Yuning looked at the little girl and said, "Do you know me?" "Well, thank you very much, Princess, for taking care of us. Mother has always warned us to remember the kindness of Princess." Qi Yuning was very satisfied with this elegant girl, "What's your name?" "Chu Chi is not a farewell speech, but a pond in the pond." Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Chu Chi, that's a good name. Is this your brother or your sister?" Qi Yuning looked at the three-year-old child and couldn't decide whether it was a boy or a girl for a moment. The clothes he wore were boy's, but he looked like a girl. "It's my younger sister. She's very naughty and always gets dirty when she wears skirts. My mother is about to give birth to a younger brother. To save trouble, I'll dress her in boy's clothes." Qi Yuning looked at Chu Chi in front of him and said, "You are a good boy." Chu Chi smiled sheepishly and said, "Princess, am I still a good boy if I'm lazy?" Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "You are already very good if you can take care of your younger brothers and sisters." Qi Yuning took one look at Zhao Jie's back, which was covered in sweat, and asked the palace servants to change Zhao Jie's clothes on the spot, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back." When Zhao Jie heard that he was going back, he said with reluctance: "I don't want to leave, I want to play with them." Qi Yuning saw that Zhao Jie was getting playful and said, "But your Majesty has to go to court tomorrow. Your Majesty will go back now. After a month, they will all come to the princess's mansion, and then they can always be with your Majesty." played." Zhao Jie reluctantly said goodbye to several playmates. The carriage was full of longing for the lotus pond, "It's great that they have so many brothers and sisters." Qi Yuning could understand Zhao Jie's expectations, "Yes, it's great to have younger brothers and sisters." Lu Ze said: "The younger brothers and sisters are not good either." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and smiled lightly. Lu Ze's pair of siblings really gave the elder brother a headache. When we returned to the city, it happened to be the Chinese Valentine's Day. Although there was no big event due to the national filial piety, there were many more daughter's houses on the street than in the past, but they were not as grand as in previous years.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze accompanied Zhao Jie to watch the excitement in the city for a while before sending Zhao Jie back to the palace. In the palace, Queen Mother Zhou was very anxious and was relieved to see Zhao Jie return safely. "Jie'er, don't come back so late from playing in the future!" "Mother, today I was playing in the lotus pond picking lotus leaves and lotus pods. The lotus pods are so delicious. I brought some for you." "Lotus pond?" Queen Mother Zhou frowned, "You are not allowed to go near the water. Do you want to be like your father?" Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Princess, please don't take Your Majesty near any waterside in the future!" Qi Yuning was about to become a mother herself, so she could understand Empress Dowager Zhou's thoughts and responded, "Yes." Lu Ze gently shook Qi Yuning's hand to express comfort. Qi Yuning used her eyes to indicate to Lu Ze that she was fine. Prince Duan fell into the water and died, and she could understand the excitement of Empress Dowager Zhou. After Qi Yuning and Lu Ze returned to the princess mansion, she felt that the child in her belly had kicked her again, so she asked her maid to find the imperial doctor. Even Princess Pingrou was alarmed when she went to see the imperial doctor late at night. When the imperial doctor came, he checked his pulse and said: "The baby in the princess's belly is fine, but it's just that the fetus will move when it reaches the age. Now that the princess is seven months pregnant, the baby will also move in her belly. This is normal." thing." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "It turns out she wasn't jealous when she kicked me." She thought Lingling could understand her words even in her belly. Princess Pingrou said: "It won't work if you don't have an experienced maid and grandma by your side to take care of you." Qi Yuning said: "Mom, I have already found one. She will be able to come when she is out of confinement. It just so happens that she can also be Lingling's nanny in the future." Princess Pingrou responded: "That's good."
