Qi Yuning heard this and said, "Die in the water?"
Why did he die in the water again?
Princess Pingrou said: "My mother was already quite old when she gave birth to my younger brother. At that time, Grandma Qin also had a son in middle age. She was recuperating at home. Who would have thought that she would be so bold and dare to bring her son into the world?" I came to exchange my daughter for my mother’s royal son, but Xu was too shameless to face my mother and actually threw himself into the river with his daughter in his arms.”
When this incident happened, neither Qi Yuning nor Lu Ze was born. It was a matter of royal dignity. If Princess Pingrou hadn't mentioned it, no one would have known about it.
Lu Ze's eyes dimmed slightly and he concealed his guess. This guess was too unbelievable, but it could also explain everything Lingling said.
After the roasted lamb was ready, Lu Ze sliced the lamb with a dagger and handed it to Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning took it and fed Lingling first. Lingling's mouth was shiny after eating, and she smiled at Qi Yuning and said, "Lingling is full!"
Qi Yuning saw that Lingling was full and started to eat meat.
Lingling ran outside to play in the snow. For children, playing after snow is much more important than being cold.
Lingling played for a while, then trotted in and said to Qi Yuning: "Mother, Lingling's cabin is back."
Qi Yuning didn't understand what Lingling meant, but Lingling took Qi Yuning to Lu Ze's courtyard.
There were a lot of wood and stones piled outside Lu Ze's courtyard, and it looked like it was being renovated.
The small side room that Lingling went back to last time has become the residence of a child. Lingling smiled and said: "This is Lingling's room!"
Princess Pingrou smiled as she came over, "Yes, this is just for Lingling. Does Lingling like it?"
Lingling couldn't help but nodded, "I like it very much! Where's the nanny? Mom, dear, Lingling hasn't seen the nanny for a long time. Lingling wants to sleep with the nanny in Lingling's room."
Qi Yuning had a slight taste for food: "Isn't it good to sleep with mother?"
Lingling said: "It's good for mom to sleep together, but Lingling likes it here. This is Lingling's home."
Lu Ze stepped forward and said, "This place has not been repaired yet. When it is repaired, can Lingling come live here again?"
Lingling nodded and said: "Okay!"
Qi Yuning saluted Princess Pingrou and said, "Princess, it's getting late. Lingling and I will go back to the house first."
Princess Pingrou nodded lightly and said: "It's cold on the road, let Ze'er see you off."
It had only been more than an hour, but the snow on the road had indeed thickened a lot, and Qi Yuning was shivering from the cold.
When she returned to the palace, she hurriedly ordered someone to bring the Tang Pozi charcoal brazier to warm her hands and feet.
After Lu Ze put down Lingling in his arms, he saw that Qi Yuning was afraid of the cold and said, "No wonder you don't want to go to Beicheng. The winter in Beicheng is probably even colder, right?"
Qi Yuning sighed: "It's not only cold over there, it's also very dry. When the cold wind blows, it feels like the skin is about to be blown apart when it blows on the face. But like this, the people in Dasheng Dynasty are still wearing military rations and uniforms." Use your hands and feet..."
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ze again and said, "Lu Ze, what do you think about what His Highness just said about His Highness being almost replaced? Lingling said that in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not enthroned but was still alive, and his aunt was Her Royal Highness the Princess. Could it be that the Crown Prince was not the Crown Prince..."
Lu Ze said slowly: "Princess, I believe in my grandmother. She will never abandon her biological daughter in order to consolidate her rights with a male child for the prince."
Qi Yuning added: "Lingling said that her cousin looks like her, but Lingling looks like you. If her cousin looks like you, it is very likely that her cousin's mother is your sister or maybe It’s my aunt…”
Lu Zedao said, "Princess, please don't make false claims about this matter. It is completely baseless. If you are not careful, the world will be in chaos, and the Princess Mansion will not be implicated."
Qi Yuning thought about it. Now they were just making wild guesses based on Lingling's words. It was really not appropriate to say more without any evidence.
Moreover, as far as Qi Yuning was concerned, the Empress had been very good to her since she was a child and loved her like a grandmother. She really did not want to maliciously speculate on the Empress.
Lu Ze said: "Princess, please don't take it to heart what my mother just said about getting married early. I will never marry because I want to be promoted. Princess, don't feel embarrassed, just refuse her. My mother won’t care either.”
Qi Yuning said: "I didn't feel embarrassed at all. In fact, I want to get married sooner or later. In fact, I don't care about getting married early. Since Prince Lu doesn't want to get married to me, then that's it. Let's do it slowly. "
Lu Ze asked in a deep voice: "The princess is really willing to marry me?"
Qi Yuning said calmly: "Well, after all, I want to be the wife of the temple minister more than the wife of the Shaoqing. With the spirit around, I will get married sooner or later. I don't have to be the wife of the temple minister to be the wife of the temple minister." How much?" Lu Ze lowered his eyes and chuckled: "But I think even more that the princess agreed to get married because you and I are in love, not because Lingling's father is more noble because of his daughter, or because the daughter is more important. It’s not for the position of temple minister, it’s just mutual love..."
Qi Yuning touched Lu Ze's peach blossom eyes, looked at the sky outside and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late outside. You should go back. It will snow heavily later, and you won't be able to leave."
Qi Yuning gave the Tang Pozi in his hand to Lu Ze and said, "Take good care of your hands. Don't get frostbite on such beautiful hands."
Lu Ze took Mrs. Tang, curled his lips and said with a smile, "Okay."
After Lu Ze left, Qi Yuning secretly hated herself for being too unreserved just now. She said she was willing to marry Lu Ze early, but she didn't expect that Lu Ze would be such a gentleman and said that they would only get married if they were in love.
Even Lingling doesn't care about it, but he doesn't want to think about it. He usually doesn't understand the amorous feelings and only occasionally understands the amorous feelings. When can the two of them be happy?
……
North City.
The cold wind was as sharp as a sword, howling so loudly that it would break a person's skin.
Qi Yu'an has long been used to days like this, but in winter he is also a little lazy, always thinking about the warm fragrance of nephrite.
Entering A Ping's room, I saw her embroidering a black round-neck robe with a lifelike tiger on it.
"Your Majesty." A Ping stood up and saluted.
Qi Yu'an hugged Ah Ping into his arms and said with a slight smile: "After winter, you have become plumper."
When A Ping first came here, it was a time of disaster and famine, and she was so skinny that she didn't have much flesh. Later, she finally gained some flesh, and lost weight again after having no children. Now she is getting fatter and plumper.
Ah Ping's face is like a silver moon, and it looks better if she is plump.
A Ping said in Qi Yu'an's arms: "I don't know why, but lately I've always been lethargic and like to eat, and my stomach feels uncomfortable..."
When he heard that he was sleepy and loved to eat, Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, "Is she pregnant?"
A Ping looked at Qi Yu'an in surprise. She counted the days and found that her menstrual period seemed to have been a few days ago. A Ping didn't know whether she was happy or sad. Qi Yu'an was going to marry the princess. Could the princess tolerate a concubine before marriage?
Qi Yuan kept saying to the outside: "Please, doctor."
When the old doctor came, he diagnosed A Ping's pulse, touched his beard and said to Qi Yu'an: "Your Majesty, I am only good at injuries caused by swords and falls. This feels like Miss Ping's pulse, but I can't be sure. , maybe the pregnancy period is shorter..."
When Aping heard the old doctor's words, she didn't know whether she was looking forward to the arrival of the child or not wanting the child to arrive.
Qi Yuan will marry a princess soon. When the new princess marries her, her concubine will be pregnant. Is this possible for the new princess to accept? Qi Yu'an was extremely happy. He and his sister were the only two people in the Qi family, and he had long been looking forward to adding a child to the Qi family.
Regardless of whether he is a boy or a girl, at least he and his sister are no longer the only ones in the Qi family.
Qi Yu'an ordered the aunt Ah Ping brought with him: "Auntie, please take good care of Ah Ping. This baby must be taken good care of."
When Mammy heard that A Ping might be pregnant, her eyes were filled with relief, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely take good care of Madam."
Qi Yu'an stretched out his hand and caressed A Ping's belly, "A Ping, do you prefer a daughter or a son?"
A Ping Nuonuo said: "She should be a daughter. If she gives birth to the eldest son of a concubine, it will not be fair to the prince's future princess. No woman can willingly endure her husband having a concubine's eldest son before marriage..."
Qi Yu'an frowned slightly, "That's right, my daughter, you are so delicate, my son can't follow you, you have to rest, I will rest in the front yard today."
A Ping looked at Qi Yu'an's back and sighed, "Auntie, is the prince angry again? He said I'm cowardly, isn't he angry every day?"
Mammy sighed and said, "Pingping, you shouldn't have mentioned the future princess just now."
A Ping laughed at herself and said: "There will always be a princess."
