After setting off the river lanterns, Qi Yuning sent little Zhao Jie back to the palace and took little Chuqing back to the princess mansion. Today is the Lantern Festival. Qi Yuning asked Ali to go back and be reunited with the children for a while. Today she took care of Sleeping Lingling herself. Lu Ze didn't refuse. He didn't think Qi Yuning could take care of a four-month-old baby at night. Sure enough, when Lingling just fell asleep, she cried at the top of her lungs. Qi Yuning held Lingling and coaxed her softly for a while: "Good Lingling, it's time to sleep." Lingling's cries became louder and louder. Qi Yuning had no choice but to hand Lingling over to Lu Ze, who cried louder and louder in Lu Ze's arms. Lu Ze looked pitifully at Lingling with tears in her eyes and asked, "Is she hungry?" Qi Yuning held Lingling in her arms and asked Li Chun to invite another nanny over. The other nanny was the daughter-in-law of the nanny's family next to Princess Pingrou. Her name was Xiuxiang. She worked in the kitchen of the princess's house and was quite reliable. . Xiuxiang carried Lingling into the small room to feed her milk, but Qi Yuning heard Lingling's cries getting louder and louder. Qi Yuning frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiu Xianglian trembled with fear and said: "Princess, this little princess has started to recognize people after four months. She only likes sister A Li to feed her, why not ask sister A Li to come over." Qi Yuning held the crying Lingling, so he could only go back on his words and let Ali come back. When Ali returned this time, she was still holding her son Chu Che, who had just been born for half a year. Ali Lian took the crying Lingling from Qi Yuning's arms. After comforting her, Lingling gradually stopped in Ali's arms. There was a loud cry. Qi Yuning saw little Chu Che. He was only half a year old and could tell that he was more beautiful than ordinary babies. Qi Yuning reached out and touched little Chuche's face and said, "This little Chuche is very good-looking. Speaking of which, his father seems to be very handsome too?" Speaking of which, Ali's four children all have excellent looks. Especially little Chu Chi, who is only nine years old after the Chinese New Year, is already a beautiful child, and Chu Qing is also a handsome young man. Ah Li thought of her husband and said: "Their father is indeed very good-looking. If he was not good-looking, he would not have been bought by my parents-in-law. Their father was originally planned to be sold to the Chu Palace to be a pretty girl." Damn it, my parents-in-law bought him because they had no children." Qi Yuning said: "I remember that Mr. Chu Zhuangtou had a son before?" Ali said: "Yes, there was one before who fell into a well and died while playing. Later he bought a son." Qi Yuning said: "I originally wanted you to spend the Lantern Festival with the children, but I didn't expect Lingling to be so clingy to you." Three-year-old Lingling was actually clinging to her nanny. When she first came here, she often asked her about it, but later she gradually stopped mentioning it. Qi Yuning said: "By this time next year, Lingling will stop breastfeeding, and you can celebrate the New Year with your child." Ali said: "The princess can take in our mother and son, and let Chu Qing study with His Majesty. We are already extremely grateful. It's just a Lantern Festival, it's nothing." …… Towards the end of the first lunar month, a major event occurred in the New Year's Day. Uncle Zhou Guo was transferred from the position of Minister of Rites to the prefect of Yangzhou. This can be described as being demoted several times in a row, and being demoted from a Beijing official to a foreign post. Not a single official in the court interceded for Uncle Zhou. After all, everyone knew that the Zhou family was demoted because they offended Qi Yuning. If he spoke for the Zhou family at this time, he would be demoted if he offended Princess Qi. It's them. In the harem, Queen Mother Zhou heard about Uncle Zhou being demoted and clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
Zhou Jiayun on the side said to Queen Mother Zhou: "Aunt, I think the Qi family really doesn't take His Majesty seriously at all." Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and said, "Well, now we can only wait for Jie'er to grow up and take charge soon, so that our Zhou family can prosper." Empress Dowager Zhou moved a Buddhist bead and said to Zhou Jiayun : "Don't offend Qi Yuning in the future. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. One day, the Zhou family will be able to act like this." Zhou Jiayun looked at Zichen Palace, remembering the first time she met Lu Ze. When he was in Jiangnan, his grandfather told him that he must not despise the position of concubine and marry the regent as a concubine, so as to maintain Lu Ze's loyalty to His Majesty. Before Zhou Jiayun met Lu Ze, she had only heard people talking about him. He was the youngest Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the most beloved grandchild of the late emperor. At only twenty-two years old, he was the regent under one man. It was also said that he was an expert in solving cases and had excellent calligraphy and painting. When she first entered Shengjing City, she was unfamiliar with everything in Shengjing City. Entering Shanglin Street, Zhou Jiayun saw Lu Ze in a carriage wearing a red official robe embroidered with python patterns, wearing a black gauze hat, and riding a horse. The sight of him riding on Shengjing Street made her deeply moved. It was deeply imprinted in Zhou Jiayun's heart. After Zhou Jiayun found out that he was Lu Ze, she no longer felt anxious. She was willing to be the concubine for such an outstanding husband. Unexpectedly, Lu Ze had already married a jealous woman. All she wanted was a concubine position, and she didn't want to challenge Princess Qi's position at all. But what about Qi Yuning? But she had calculated that the Zhou family's reputation was completely ruined, and now she has demoted her father out of the capital... Zhou Jiayun clenched her fist tightly. After ten years, His Majesty will marry a wife and take charge of the government, and there will be many opportunities to liquidate the Qi family. …… Qi Yuning also heard about Uncle Zhou Guo in the princess's mansion, and she felt happy in her heart. In the afternoon, when the sun was just right, Qi Yuning carried Lingling to Shen Nian's courtyard to visit Shen Nian. Shen Nian and Lu Yun were playing with Brother Han in the room, and the sound of playing in the room could be heard from far away. Qi Yuning carried Lingling inside and saw Shen Nian regaining his composure. He smiled and said, "I heard Brother Han's laughter from so far away." Shen Nian said: "It was Lu Yun who took him to play with him. He really likes to be played with him." Lingling saw Lu Yun lifting Brother Han up high, and turned his two little hands towards Lu Yun, "Yeah, ah, ah, ah." Lu Yun walked to Lingling and said, "You want to lift it up too?" Lingling reached out for Lu Yun to hug her. Qi Yu would rather not give Lingling to Lu Yun. He whispered to Lingling: "When your father comes back to hold you and lift you up, my mother will not be able to trust your uncle." Lu Yun snorted, "I'm holding Lingling steady. If I drop Lingling, my mother can twist off my head first." Even though Lu Yun said this, Qi Yuning still didn't believe the little bald donkey who was out of tune. The only one she could believe was Lu Ze. Shen Nian said to Qi Yuning, "Yes, you should also believe in Lu Yun. He is very careful when raising children. Brother Han has never fallen." "Don't worry about him, but I can't." Qi Yuning hugged Lingling tightly and said, "When your father comes back, I will take you to fly high." In order to show his reliability, Lu Yun threw Brother Han high up, then reached out to catch him, "Look, I can catch it, I won't drop Lingling." Brother Han was shocked when he was thrown to a high place, and he immediately burst into tears, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
Shen Nian frowned and took Brother Han back from Lu Yun's arms, and said displeasedly: "How could you scare Han'er like this? Han'er is already weak, what if you scare him out? It's really not the case. Dear father..." Lu Yun listened to Shen Nian's complaints and went out angrily, not forgetting to turn around and say: "White-eyed wolf!"
