Lu Ze said hoarsely: "Lu Yun is not a good son-in-law. He has no responsibility. He takes the lives of the entire Lu family as a child's play and becomes a monk regardless of His Majesty and your face. If the princess forgives him, she will still miss him in her heart." He really shouldn’t.”
Qi Yuning heard the jealousy on Lu Ze's body and chuckled, "The Crown Prince said he wanted me to marry you willingly, but what about the Crown Prince? Can he marry me willingly?"
Lu Ze pursed his lips lightly and heard the exclamation from Lingling, "Cao Cao is out! Dad, mom, Lingling can play Huarong Tao."
Lingling trotted over. Qi Yuning held Lingling in his arms and kissed her little face, "Lingling is great!"
Lingling smiled and said: "Mother, you are so awesome."
Lu Ze looked at Lingling's smile and said to Qi Yuning: "I do it willingly. It has nothing to do with Lingling or my position as a temple minister. I just want to marry the princess."
Qi Yuning blushed fiercely. After she put Lingling down, she used the back of her hand to cool her face.
Lu Ze approached Qi Yuning step by step and said, "Yu Ning, don't give Lu Yun another chance."
Qi Yuning heard the word "Yuning" from Lu Ze's mouth and raised her eyes to look at Lu Ze. She had known that the little bald donkey was so useful, so she should have gone up the mountain to meet the little bald donkey as soon as possible.
Qi Yuning coughed when he saw Lu Ze and her were close at hand, "It's very late. It's time for the prince to go back."
Lu Ze looked down at Qi Yuning's blushing cheeks and smiled softly. Qi Yuning, who was always bold, turned out to be so easily shy.
Lingling hugged Lu Ze's thigh and said, "No, Lingling hasn't seen her father for a long time. Daddy should continue to play with Lingling!"
Lu Ze smiled lightly and touched Lingling's head. In fact, it is true that father is more valuable than daughter.
Qi Yuning coughed and said, "Daddy still has business to deal with. I'll play with you tomorrow."
Lingling said: "Dear mother, you can't lie to others. It's already dark, how can dad still have official business to deal with?"
Lu Ze picked up Lingling and said, "How about I have dinner with you before I leave?"
Lingling nodded her little head, "Yeah."
The dishes for dinner were all the favorites of Qi Yuning and Lingling, and Lu Ze seemed not to be picky about food and would eat everything.
Lingling didn't know if she was afraid that Lu Ze would leave after dinner today, so she seldom ate, and she couldn't even get excited when seeing her favorite turtle.
After dinner, Lingling coquettishly asked Lu Ze to hug her, "Daddy, don't leave."
Qi Yuning had finally discovered Lingling's pattern of making noises about Lu Ze. If she could see Lu Ze often and have fun with Lu Ze, she would definitely not make noises about Lu Ze at night.
But if she hadn't seen Lu Ze for a while and suddenly saw him at night, Lingling would definitely make a fuss about being with Lu Ze.
Lu Ze patted Lingling on the back and said, "Okay, daddy won't leave until Lingling falls asleep."
Lingling leaned in Lu Ze's arms and returned to the room, feeling exhausted.
Only then did Qi Yuning realize that something was wrong with Lingling.
Lingling usually acts coquettishly, but she never looks so languid today. Today she is listless. She reached out and touched Lingling's forehead and said, "It's so hot!"
"Equinox, go and ask for the imperial physician."
Lu Ze reached out and touched Lingling's forehead and said, "When I came here just now, she was playing in the snow in the yard. The sun was gone. She didn't have a cold, right?"
Lingling sneezed heavily and coughed twice, "Mother, please give me a hug."
Qi Yuning took the hot Lingling from Lu Ze's hand and said with great distress: "Be good, mother is here."
Lingling entered Qi Yuning's arms, "Mom, my head hurts so much."
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and comforted her: "The imperial doctor is coming soon. He will be fine after taking the medicine."
"Lingling, don't take the medicine. The medicine is so bitter! Don't take the medicine."
"Okay, no medicine."
The imperial doctor arrived shortly after, and when he saw Lu Ze in Qi Yuning's room, he was stunned and saluted, "See you, Prince Lu, Princess Qi."
Qi Yuning said: "Doctor, please take a look at Lingling. What's wrong with her?"
The imperial doctor stepped forward to see the sick child in Qi Yuning's arms. He stepped forward to check Lingling's pulse and said, "Little princess, please stick out your tongue."
Lingling said: "My head hurts, and it hurts here too."
Lingling pointed at her throat and said, "It hurts."
The imperial doctor asked Lingling to open her mouth wide, took a look and said, "It must be a cold. Many children have caught colds in this winter. You need to be more careful about the child's warmth." Qi Yuning said: "Then Do you want Lingling to take medicine?"
The imperial doctor said: "After all, the little princess is still very young, so it is extremely difficult for her to take bitter medicine, so she has to give her some loquat ointment and fresh bamboo juice to relieve coughs. As for reducing fever, she puts a cold handkerchief on her forehead and under her neck, and adds moxibustion. Just smoke it and it’ll be good.”
Qi Yuning said continuously: "Then I'll ask the imperial doctor."
"Princess Princess, Princess Pingrou is here."
Qi Yuning heard that Princess Pingrou was coming and ordered the maid to invite the princess in.
When Princess Pingrou came, she said, "I heard that your family called the imperial doctor?"
Princess Pingrou saw the missing Lingling lying on the bed, and she was extremely distressed and said: "What happened to the baby Lingling?"
"It hurts." Lingling knocked on her head, "It hurts."
Princess Pingrou held Lingling's hand and said, "Poor child, it doesn't hurt. Grandma is here."
Princess Pingrou took the cold handkerchief handed over by the maid and put it on Lingling's forehead and neck. She took the fumigation from the doctor's hand and skillfully smoked it for Lingling.
With Princess Pingrou here, Qi Yuning felt much more at ease.
After Princess Pingrou smoked the moxa, she looked at Qi Yuning and said, "There is no one who is elderly around you. You are still a child. How can you take good care of Lingling?"
Qi Yuning lowered his head and sighed, "It's my fault."
Lu Ze said from the side: "Mom, don't blame Yu Ning. She is suffering from Lingling's illness more than anyone else."
Princess Pingrou glared at Lu Ze, "I don't blame Yu Ning, I just think it's not appropriate for Lingling to be surrounded by a group of young maids. I'll find a more reliable nanny for Lingling to take care of her. "
Qi Yuning said continuously: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Lingling sniffed and said, "Mother, dear, daddy."
Qi Yuning walked to Lingling, held Lingling's hand, and said with a sob in her throat: "Lingling."
Lingling held Qi Yuning's hand, shedding tears in great discomfort and crying softly.
Qi Yuning lifted Lingling horizontally and coaxed her, "I'm sorry Lingling, it's my mother who didn't take good care of you."
Lingling's high fever didn't go away until she was [-]. It had not gone away before. Qi Yuning wished that she was the one with the high fever. Lingling also fell asleep at [-]:[-].
Princess Pingrou left with peace of mind after seeing Lingling sleeping.
Seeing that Lu Ze did not follow, Qi Yuning asked, "Won't the prince follow the princess back to his home?"
"There is no need for me to take my mother back on this journey. Lingling is sick and cries in the middle of the night. You will definitely not be able to do it alone. I will stay in the palace tonight to take care of Lingling."
With tears in her eyes, Qi Yuning changed the scarf on Lingling's forehead. She said with heartache, "I shouldn't have allowed her to play in the snow."
Lu Ze sat next to Qi Yuning and said, "It's inevitable for children to catch colds in winter. It's too late now. Princess, please rest first. I'll watch Lingling from the side."
Qi Yuning said: "If I hadn't allowed her to play in the snow, she wouldn't have caught a cold."
"Lingling wants to play in the snow." Lingling sniffed and said, "Lingling wants to play in the snow."
Qi Yuning didn't expect Lingling to wake up again, "Isn't Lingling still asleep?"
"It hurts, Lingling feels uncomfortable." Lingling looked at Lu Ze who was sitting beside him and said, "Daddy, lie down and sleep."
Qi Yuning came to the back of the bed, looked at Lingling's cheeks that must have been burning red, felt very uncomfortable, looked at Lu Ze, and whispered: "You should also lie down for a while."
Lu Ze lay down on his side and looked at Lingling's little face, "Lingling can sleep now."
Lingling looked at Lu Ze, then at Qi Yuning, and said with a nasal voice: "It's good to be sick. Lingling's sick father and mother can be together."
Although Lingling is young, she feels that her parents are very strange during this period of time.
Little Lingling just wants her father and mother to live together, instead of living in two separate houses and not being able to see her father for several days.
"Silly Lingling!" Qi Yuning hugged Lingling sadly, "If you don't get sick, your parents will be together, so Lingling should get well soon."
