Lu Ze had never imagined that Qin Feng would be so infatuated, but this girl Ping was indeed beautiful. If you ignored her eyes that were similar to his own, you could see that she was also a peerless beauty.
It is difficult for such a peerless beauty to find a good place to go when she is on the road to escape disaster with only an aunt by her side.
After Lu Ze left the Qin Mansion, he went to Prince Qi's Mansion.
When they arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion, Lingling had already woken up and was obediently learning to write in front of the desk. Lu Ze said, "You can rest for two days if you are sick. There is no need to practice calligraphy."
Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said: "But Lingling wants to know a thousand words as soon as possible, so that she can have younger brothers and sisters sooner!
Mother promised Lingling that when Lingling knows a thousand words, she will have younger brothers and sisters! "
Lu Ze chuckled. It would be a long time before Lingling wanted to have younger brothers and sisters. It would be at least six years later.
Lu Ze took a piece of rice paper over, took the brush on the desk and sketched the portrait of A Ping he had just seen on the rice paper.
Lu Ze painted with concentration.
Qi Yuning walked to Lu Ze and saw Lu Ze drawing a young girl, and asked angrily: "Who is this?"
Lu Ze raised his eyes and said, "Qin Feng's sweetheart asked me to help him find him."
Qi Yuning took a closer look and said, "It seems that Lu Baozhu is right."
"Huh?" Lu Ze asked confused.
Qi Yuning said: "I still have to worry about you and Qin Feng. Why does Qin Feng's sweetheart look a bit like you?"
"It's just that the eyes are slightly similar. If you cover your eyes, it won't look like me." Lu Ze chuckled, "And this is a portrait. Maybe he doesn't look like me."
Lingling stood up and said, "Lingling also wants to see the portrait."
Qi Yuning smiled and said to Lu Ze, "Why don't you show Lingling the portrait? Maybe Lingling knows Aunt Qin?"
"Aunt Qin?" Lingling tilted her head and said, "But Lingling doesn't know there is Aunt Qin."
Lu Ze asked: "Doesn't your uncle Qin Feng have an aunt in his family?"
"No." Lingling said, "Uncle Qin Feng doesn't have an aunt at home. Lingling wants to see the portrait painted by her father, cough cough."
Qi Yuning saw Lingling coughing and said, "Let's have a meal first. After eating the loquat ointment, we'll look at the portrait. Why is my cough getting worse day by day?"
Lingling coughed badly and sniffed, so she stopped making trouble to see the portrait.
Loquat paste is sweeter, so Lingling likes to eat it.
After dinner, Lingling forgot about the portrait.
Lu Ze walked to the desk and folded the portrait. He walked to the door and handed it to Deqing and said, "Tell our people to pay attention to the girl in this painting."
Deqing took it and replied: "Yes."
It was getting dark. After Lingling got on the bed, she played games with Lu Ze for a while and then slept on the outside of the bed.
"Lingling is sleeping outside today."
Qi Yuning was still washing herself inside the screen, listening to Lingling's words: "No, you will get out."
"No, Lingling has to sleep outside anyway, so that if daddy leaves, Lingling will know about it."
Qi Yuning loosened her bun, walked to Lingling and said, "Then daddy can sleep in the back and you sleep in the middle."
Lingling waggled her little fingers, shook her head and said, "This way, if mother goes away, Lingling won't know, so Lingling has to sleep outside, ahem!"
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling coughing violently and did not argue with her, for fear that her voice would become hoarse when she cried, and she was already complaining that her throat hurt.
Lingling pushed Qi Yuning to the innermost position, letting Lu Ze lie in the middle. Lingling hugged Lu Ze's arm before closing her eyes, for fear that Lu Ze would leave again.
After Lingling fell asleep, Qi Yuning was still not sleepy at all. Unlike how sleepy she was last night, she didn't dare to move at all and only huddled into the bed.
Lu Ze's breathing could be heard, and Qi Yuning was not sleepy at all. He chatted with Lu Ze to dispel the tension and said, "Whose girl is the girl Qin Feng likes?"
Lu Ze said: "She's just a girl from the mountains of Shancheng. She seems to have no father or mother, and only one aunt by her side."
"Qin Feng is also the youngest minister of the Ministry of Justice and the young prince of Qinhou Mansion. He will be the future prince of Qin. I am afraid that the prince of Qin and his wife will be sad when he falls in love with a girl from the mountains."
Lu Ze said: "What's more important is that Miss A Ping is hard to find. After the severe drought in Shancheng, Miss A Ping and her aunt fled to nowhere. Dasheng has a vast territory. We need to find this girl A Ping." Easier said than done?”
Qi Yuning asked: "You said that girl's name is A Ping? Which Ping?" Lu Ze said: "Which Ping's name and surname is Qin Feng doesn't know, he only knows that she is from Shancheng Mountain, and there is only one aunt by her side. The two of them We met during the drought in Shancheng three years ago, and then Miss Aping fled Shancheng and disappeared."
Qi Yuning thought for a moment and said, "Then let Qin Feng give up."
"Why?" Lu Ze asked, "Do you know Miss A Ping?"
"Well, it's really a coincidence. The girl A Ping you mentioned is my brother's concubine. Please tell Qin Feng to stop thinking about Miss A Ping."
Lu Ze had heard Qi Yuning mention that Qi Yuan had a concubine, but he didn't expect that it was the girl A Ping Qin Feng was looking for.
Qi Yuning originally didn't understand how her brother could let a refugee girl serve as his concubine.
Today I finally understand that this girl A Ping is good-looking. Based on her portrait alone, she can be regarded as one of the great beauties in Shengjing City.
Lu Ze said: "Qin Feng really has no choice but to give up."
After all, she is King Qi's concubine. Even though this girl A Ping is having a hard time in King Qi's palace, it is not something Qin Feng can imagine.
It was getting later and later, and Qi Yuning gradually became sleepy and fell into a drowsy sleep.
At night, she dreamed of Beicheng. She had not been to Beicheng several times, but she had only been there once in the winter four years ago.
Even though it was the crowning ceremony for his brother's 20th birthday at this time last year, Qi Yuning didn't even go to Beicheng to celebrate.
Because the winter in Beicheng is too cold, the cold wind makes my face hurt.
In the dream, the North City was extremely desolate, and a tiger was on the city wall. Qi Yuning frowned when he saw the tiger. How did the tiger come from this place in the North City? When the tiger saw Qi Yuning, it ran straight towards her. Qi Yuning was so frightened that she ran away, regardless of the biting cold wind. When the tiger was about to catch up with her, it pressed against her. On her body, he rubbed her face affectionately like a kitten.
Qi Yuning happily touched the little tiger's head, and suddenly the tiger ran towards a side courtyard in Prince Qi's Mansion in the North City.
When Qi Yuning woke up, she felt warm in her arms. When she raised her eyes, she was indeed in Lu Ze's arms.
She was familiar with him once and twice, so she felt at ease just thinking of Lu Ze as a big Tang Pozi, not to mention that she had already accepted Lu Ze in her heart.
When Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning waking up, he rubbed his temples and said, "Did you have nightmares at night?"
Qi Yuning said: "I dreamed of a little tiger who was very affectionate to me. I was wondering if this was a fetal dream?"
Lu Ze coughed lightly and said, "You are still a young girl, you will not have fetal dreams."
Qi Yuning said: "No, the fetal dream I'm talking about is Lingling's cousin. Lingling's cousin should be a tiger. In the dream, I saw the little tiger running into the side courtyard of Prince Qi's Mansion. The side courtyard is exactly the courtyard where the girl A Ping lives.
We have always wondered why our aunt is His Highness. After all, His Majesty's granddaughter is too young now and it is impossible for her to give birth to a Lingling cousin in the past two years.
But it is also possible that the cousin Lingling mentioned was born to concubine A Ping, and not to Her Royal Highness Princess Qi.
It's possible that His Highness just keeps her by her side. After all, Lingling is too young and doesn't know what a concubine is and what a principal wife is.
By chance, doesn’t that girl A Ping look somewhat similar to you?It also explains why Lingling said that her cousin looks like you. "
Lu Ze said: "It is indeed possible."
Lu Ze glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late, I should go to the morning court."
Qi Yuning took Lu Ze's hand and said, "You woke up Lingling before you left. I don't want her to not see you when she wakes up and accuse me of lying to her."
After Lu Ze woke Lingling up, Lingling, who was still awake, looked at Lu Ze blankly.
Lu Ze said: "Dad is going to the morning court. It's time to go out."
Lingling got up obediently, walked to Qi Yuning's arms and continued to fall asleep. She forced herself to stay strong and said, "Daddy, come back soon..."
Before she finished speaking, Lingling fell asleep again in Qi Yuning's arms.
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "By the way, Prince Lu, none of my maids here know how to take care of people. If you want to wash up, go to the side courtyard next door and ask your servant to help you wash up."
Lu Ze didn't care. He wasn't used to being served by outsiders. Deqing was enough to serve him.
Qi Yuning didn't sleep much after Lu Ze left. He went out with Lingling yesterday and accumulated some accounts.
After Qi Yuning got up, he heard Jingzhe coming in and saying, "Princess, the newly arrived Gui Niang from Zaojian is asking around whether you gave birth in the palace three years ago."
