Chapter 42 You can’t call me Sister Qi from now on Qi Yuning said: "That depends on how Prince Lu performs."
When Lu Baozhu heard Sister Qi, she frowned and said to Lu Ze: "Brother, what do you call her sister? If you want her to be my sister-in-law, you can't call her Sister Qi. If you call her sister, don't we become brother and sister?"
You have to call her Yu Ning, Ning Ning, Lu Yun used to call her Ning Ning. "
Lu Ze's face darkened, "Did Yun'er really call her that before?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Of course, that brat Lu Yun has been saying that he wants to marry Ning Ning before. He refuses to call her Sister Qi even if he lives in the past. He calls her Ning Ning and Yu Ning. Otherwise, I wouldn't let him go." I asked for a marriage decree, but who would have thought that he would go against his promise and become a monk!"
Lu Ze's expression became even more ugly, "How come I don't know when Yun'er said he wanted to marry Princess Qi?"
"Yun'er said when he was five years old, I won't marry anyone other than Ning Ning!"
Lu Ze: "..."
Lu Baozhu said to Lu Ze earnestly: "Brother, from now on, you can no longer call her Princess Qi, Sister Qi. You have to call her Yu Ning, Ning Ning."
Qi Yu would rather not imagine what Lu Ze looked like when he called her Ning Ning.
Lu Ze really couldn't call Ningning out.
When the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lingling got off the carriage and looked at the mountains, and exclaimed, "What a high mountain!"
Lingling was young and rarely left the palace. As soon as she went up the mountain, if Lu Ze hadn't held her hand, she would have almost disappeared.
In autumn, the colors of the mountains and forests are excellent, with red maples, yellow leaves, green trees and clear water streams, just like ink spilled on the mountain. Lingling walked without feeling tired at all.
When they reached the gentle part of the mountainside, there was a green lake on the edge. Lu Ze asked the boy to set up a tent here. The boy who accompanied him took out a small stool, a small table, and a melon and fruit food box.
Lingling was not hungry at all, and wanted to play when she saw the lake. Qi Yuning saw that the sun was very bright today, so he let Lingling go into the water to play. Lu Baozhu was still a child and went into the water with Lingling.
Qi Yuning sat on a small stool and said, "The scenery here is great. I didn't know there was a place like this in Shengjing City before."
Lu Ze said: "I also came here when I was trying to decide the case of murder and body dumping. The murderer killed people here and dumped the body in the reeds on the other side of the lake."
Qi Yuning looked at the reeds over there and shuddered.
Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning's expression and said, "You don't have to be afraid. The murderer has been caught and brought to justice, and the deceased has been transcended and buried in peace."
Qi Yuning took out the cut fruit plate from the food box, and when he was about to eat, he saw Lu Baozhu and Lingling aunt and nephew coming over with snickers.
"Qi Yuning, we have something good for you, Lingling, show it to your mother."
Qi Yuning smiled at Lingling and said, "Lingling, what do you have for mother?"
Lingling took out a turtle from behind that was much bigger than her hand, "Dear mother, there are ghosts here too!"
Qi Yuning's heart trembled, and he stood up repeatedly, "Lu Baozhu!"
Jingzhe and Lichun were guarding Qi Yuning. Xiaoman supported Qi Yuning, and Lichun persuaded Lingling to let go of the turtle: "Lingling, the princess is afraid of turtles."
Lu Baozhu glared at Lu Ze, who was not moving at all, and said helplessly: "Brother, I give you a chance to be a hero to save the beauty, but you are not as useful as the Lichun Jingzhe!"
Qi Yuning realized after hearing Lu Baozhu's words. Did she deliberately let Lingling hold the turtle to scare her, so that the hero Lu Ze could save the beauty?
Lu Ze looked at Lu Baozhu helplessly and said, "Baozhu, don't make trouble."
Lu Baozhu hummed, "What did I do? You really don't know how to cherish the opportunity. When Qi Yuning was scared, you pulled her into your arms. Doesn't this make her my sister-in-law?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Lu Baozhu, can you go behind my back if you come up with bad ideas?"
"What's wrong with this idea?" Lu Baozhu pouted and said, "Lingling, let's continue playing in the water!"
Qi Yuning wiped the sweat from Lingling's face and touched the sweat on Lingling's back after asking for advice from Princess Duan. "Is it hot?" Lingling nodded.
Qi Yuning helped Lingling take off a piece of clothing, and Lingling followed Lu Baozhu to the lake like a little butterfly.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze beside him and said, "Prince Lu, when you asked me to go with you to Prince Duan's tomb that day, didn't you have the same idea as Lu Baozhu? You wanted to take advantage of me when I was scared to do anything to me. ?”
Lu Ze poured a cup of tea for Qi Yuning and said, "Wang Tao, the tomb guard, is very respectful to you and asked the princess to go to the tomb with me. That's why."
Qi Yuning snorted coldly. Yes, Lu Ze didn't like her, so how could he take advantage of her? There was no Lingling around last night, and it was hard to sleep in the cold quilt. Qi Yuning didn't feel energetic after drinking tea, but instead became even more sleepy.
Qi Yuning stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a walk to relieve my sleepiness. It's the beginning of spring. You guys just keep an eye on Lingling."
Lu Ze stood up and followed him: "Princess, didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I'm used to Lingling's little stove. It's so cold that I can't sleep without her at night." Qi Yuning said, "I just hope that Lingling can be tired from playing today and stop making trouble at night."
Qi Yuning asked again: "Is Prince Lu coming back from Shanzhou? What kind of place is Shanzhou?"
Lu Ze said: "Shanzhou is located near Beicheng and has iron ore. It has always been a place for iron ore mining. There was a severe drought in the past few years and it only recovered this year."
Qi Yuning sighed: "What about the drought three years ago?"
“Starvation is everywhere and the people are in dire straits.”
Qi Yuning grew up in Shengjing City, and it was really unimaginable that he would die of hunger all over the place. The fact that Miss Ping and the nanny beside her were able to come to Beicheng was thanks to the blessing of Bodhisattva.
Qi Yuning asked: "Is it so serious?"
Lu Ze said: "When I went back this time, there were many graves erected three years ago. At that time, there were many prostitutes and women."
Qi Yuning sighed and said: "If the world is not peaceful, I am afraid that this tragic situation will not only be in Shanzhou, but all over Dasheng."
Lu Ze paused slightly, "I just hope we can find out the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince cannot ascend the throne soon."
Qi Yuning nodded, "I think the King of Shu must not be innocent. Even though I was young at that time, I knew that Uncle Huo An was my grandfather's most proud disciple. He had been lurking in the Prince of Shu's Mansion for more than ten years. There must be something fishy in the Prince of Shu's Mansion. ."
Lu Ze nodded and said: "Yes."
The two of them walked and came to a mountain spring and stream. The stream was crystal clear and next to it was a persimmon tree full of orange-red fruits.
Red persimmons hang all over the tree trunks, which is extremely tempting.
Qi Yuning walked to the persimmon tree and picked the fruits on her feet. She was considered tall among her daughter's family, but despite her condition, she was still not good at reaching the persimmons.
"Shizi Lu, help me pick a few persimmons."
Lu Ze walked to Qi Yuning. He was taller than Qi Yuning. He picked up a persimmon and handed it to Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning peeled off the skin of the persimmon and smelled the fragrance. After taking a bite, he chuckled and said, "Prince, please pick one and try it. This persimmon is quite delicious. I'll pick a few more later." Give it to Lingling.”
Lu Ze reached out and picked two more ones. When he took a bite, they were indeed quite sweet.
Qi Yuning was greedy and asked Lu Ze to pick several fruits for her, then stood under the tree and ate them.
Seeing Qi Yuning's gaze, Lu Ze still wanted to eat. He looked at the persimmon in front of him and said, "I can't reach it. It's too high."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze with her phoenix eyes, and said with a faint smile: "It's not difficult for Prince Lu to climb this tree, right?"
