Qi Yuning said: "Since you haven't had a meal yet, I won't keep you. You should go home and have a meal."
Lu Yun was drinking hot soup. When he heard Qi Yuning's words, a mouthful of hot soup sprayed all over Lu Ze's clothes. Lu Ze couldn't bear it and said: "Lu Yun!"
Wen Yalan glanced at Lu Ze and Lu Yun, and said, "Then Prince, Princess, I will leave first."
After Wen Yalan left, Lu Yun said: "Ning Ning, I thought you asked her if she had eaten, so you wanted to keep her here to eat. We were eating, so why did you let her have a pair of chopsticks? She's gone!"
Qi Yuning said to Lu Yun: "Although it's dark late in the north city, it's still midnight. It's really not appropriate to leave an unmarried girl to eat."
Lingling said next to Aping: "Aunt, where is my cousin? Why don't you see your cousin at dinner? Lingling misses her cousin so much!"
A Ping said: "I don't know where your cousin is... Your lord, does Lingling have a cousin?"
Qi Yuan shook his head and said, "She doesn't have a cousin yet."
Lingling said: "Lingling has a cousin!"
Qi Yuning went over to pull Lingling back and whispered in Lingling's ear: "My cousin is back in my aunt's belly."
Lingling said: "Why did my cousin end up in my aunt's belly?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Because the weather was too cold, my cousin hid in my aunt's belly. When the weather gets hot, your cousin will come out of my aunt's belly."
Lingling touched Qi Yuning's belly and said, "Did Lingling come out of mother's belly too?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, Lingling will come out of mother's belly in the future."
"Then how did Lingling get into mother's belly?" Lingling tilted her head, "Did mother swallow Lingling in one gulp? Mother, don't eat Lingling!"
Qi Yuning smiled softly and said, "Mother won't eat Lingling."
Lingling sat on Qi Yuning's lap and began to eat in an honest and practical manner.
After dinner.
Qi Yu'an called Qi Yuning to the study and said, "I plan to return to Shengjing with you after the new year. Then I will go to your majesty to ask for permission to grant A Ping the title of princess. What is A Ping's status?"
Qi Yuning said: "I'm just guessing. If A Ping doesn't want to say, I can't be sure..."
Qi Yuan asked in a low voice: "Is her identity good or bad for our Qi family?"
"It's hard to say." Qi Yuning said, "If her identity is harmful to our Qi family, won't you marry her as your concubine?"
Qi Yu'an said: "I will still marry her, then I will remove all clues to her identity."
Qi Yuning said: "A Ping's identity should be beneficial to our Qi family."
Your Majesty currently trusts the Qi family, but in the future, a different emperor may not be as fearful of the Qi family's military power as your Majesty is today.
The Qi family needs royal blood to preserve the lives of future descendants.
Lingling said that the young grandson Zhao Jie will succeed to the throne in the future, so the nephew in A Ping's belly and Zhao Jie can be regarded as cousins, and the Qi family can at least enjoy two generations of wealth.
Qi Yuan looked at Qi Yuning and said: "One more thing, since Lingling is the child of you and Lu Ze in the future, it is very inappropriate for you to live together now! I was not in the Shengjing Palace before, so I had nothing to do with it. Now that I am in Beicheng, you must abide by the secular rules and let Lu Ze sleep in the guest courtyard. "
Qi Yuning whispered: "Lingling wants her father and mother to sleep together. Besides, when we return to Shengjing City, we will also inform His Majesty and ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage."
Qi Yu'an said: "Before we get married, Lu Ze can only sleep in the guest house."
Qi Yu would rather not say anything more, so he could only say weakly: "What if Lingling makes trouble?"
Qi Yu'an said: "You dote on Lingling when she makes trouble? Sister, although Lingling is cute, you can't just dote on her..."
"She just wants her father and mother to be together. What kind of pampering is this?" Qi Yuning said, "If Lingling doesn't make trouble, I will listen to you. If Lingling makes trouble, I won't listen to you."
Qi Yu'an took the portrait painted by Lu Ze and said, "This must be the first time Lu Ze meets A Ping today. Why does he have a portrait of A Ping?"
Qi Yuning said: "Do you know Qin Feng?"
Qi Yu'an thought for a while and said: "The youngest Minister of Justice, Qin Feng, who is also known as the three heroes of Shengjing together with Lu Zelinjiang?"
"Yes, it's him. When she went to Shancheng to provide disaster relief three years ago, she couldn't forget her love at first sight for A Ping, so she had a portrait of her."
Qi Yu'an frowned slightly and stopped mentioning Qin Feng's matter and said, "The Wen family intends to marry Wen Yalan into the palace as a concubine. What do you think about this?"
General Wen Ban, Wen Yalan's father, was one of Prince Qi's disciples.
After the death of Qi Yuning's parents and grandfather, it was General Wen Ban, General Zhu Ling, and General Zhong Xin who took over the Qi Family Army in the North City, waiting for Qi Yuan to grow up and take over the Qi Family Army.
These three generals are loyal to the Qi family. The Wen family wants to marry their daughter to the Qi family as a concubine. The Qi family is really in trouble.
Unlike the Zhu family and the Zhong family, the Wen family has many successors, and there are many heroes among the younger generations.
Among the younger generation of the Wen family, except for the two daughters who are more outstanding, the three sons are more useless than each other.
If the Wen family wants to keep their descendants in high positions in the Qi family's army, they can only make their daughters the concubines of King Qi and rely on in-laws to maintain Yuning looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Brother, you told me two days ago that you would only marry A Ping in this life. Don't you regret it now? Do you want to marry a concubine?"
Qi Yu'an said: "I have no regrets. I didn't want to marry Wen Yalan as my concubine. She is the sister I watched growing up since I was a child. How could I marry her as my concubine?
I had refused several times before because I had not married a princess and could not have a concubine, and asked Wen Yalan to choose another son-in-law, thinking that the Wen family would know that I did not want Wen Yalan to be a concubine.
I didn’t expect that they haven’t given up yet, dragging Wen Yalan until they are not engaged, and still thinking about the position of princess. I don’t know what to do, after all, Wen Yalan helped us a lot back then..."
The fact that the Qi family is able to have the power it has today is due to His Majesty's kindness, but it is also due to the loyalty of the Qi family's subordinates.
Qi Yuning thought for a while and then said: "Do you want me to help Wen Yalan choose a good husband? If the Wen family can have a good son-in-law, they may not necessarily have to focus on the position of the royal concubine."
Qi Yuan responded: "Okay."
……
Qi Yuning returned to the room, looked at Lu Ze who had already bathed and changed into clothes, and said, "My brother asked you to stay in the guest room."
Lu Ze also understood the rules. After all, he was not in Prince Qi's Mansion in Shengjing City. He only had Qi Yuning as his master, and he could do as he pleased.
Qi Yu'an was too grief-stricken two days ago to pay attention to his sister's visit. Today A Ping is back, so naturally he will not let his sister mess around with him.
Think about it, if Lu Baozhu brought a man home to live with him before marriage, he would definitely not be able to sit idly by.
Lu Ze put Qi Yuning into his arms and hugged her, saying, "If Lingling gets into trouble, come find me."
Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Well, when your Majesty returns to the capital and grants the marriage, my brother will no longer be able to control me."
Lu Ze said: "If I had known earlier, I would have asked for the marriage when I should have left the capital."
Qi Yu sent Lu Ze away and began to plan Wen Yalan's marriage.
Wen Yalan grew up in Beicheng. If she wanted to choose a husband for her in Beicheng, she could only choose a son from the Zhong family and the Zhu family.
The next day.
Miss A Ping came back from the dead and became pregnant, which was a cause for celebration. Qi Yuning sent an invitation to the Wen family, the Zhu family, and the Zhong family to come to the palace for a banquet.
There are currently five husbands in the Zhu family. The eldest among them are twin brothers Zhu Yang and Zhu Feng. They will only be born next year and have not yet been engaged.
These two men were young and led fifty cavalrymen to kill more than a hundred sand bandits.
The sand bandits have always been equal to ten, and even a hundred cavalrymen could barely beat the sand bandits. However, they defeated the many with less, and they became famous in the army.
The two brothers were less than twenty years old and were already deputy generals in the Qi family's cavalry battalion, with a bright future.
The eldest of the three younger brothers from the Zhu family is only 16 years old, which is a bit younger.
There are three husbands in the Zhong family. The oldest one is already 24 and his child is older than Lingling. The second husband, Zhong Ming, is 21 this year and has not married yet. The third husband is also still young.
Qi Yuning looked at the portraits of these gentlemen and felt that Zhu Yang Zhufeng and Zhong Ming were suitable for Wen Yalan.
Lu Ze entered Qi Yuning's room and saw three portraits of men in front of her. He frowned and said, "Who are these?"
Qi Yuning said: "I chose the husband for Yalan.
Lu Ze took a closer look and said, "These two people have decent faces. They have similar looks. Are they twins?"
Qi Yuning said: "Well, they are the sons of General Longhu, Zhu Yang Zhufeng, and Zhu Yang is the elder brother. The twins are not as similar as the two sisters Baoxue Baoshuang."
"Mom, dear, daddy!"
Lu Ze saw Lingling waking up on the bed, took Qi Yuning's cloak, wrapped Lingling and carried her to Qi Yuning.
Lingling yawned a little, looked at the portrait and said: "Second uncle, third uncle, little uncle!"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and said, "What did you call them?"
Lingling said: "This is the second uncle, this is the third uncle, and this is the younger uncle!"
Qi Yuning looked at what Lingling was pointing at: Zhong Ming, Zhu Feng, and Zhu Yang.
Qi Yuning changed the positions of the portraits of Zhu Feng and Zhu Yang, "Which one is the younger uncle?"
Lingling pointed at Zhu Yang and said: "This is my younger uncle. My younger uncle has a red mole under his eyes. Third uncle has no red mole under his eyes. My younger aunt has a mole here on her face. Third aunt has a mole here."
Lingling said and pointed at Qi Yuning's face, "The third aunt and the younger aunt, the younger uncle and the third uncle look the same, so it's hard to recognize them! But Lingling knows them!"
Lingling's words were full of pride.
Qi Yuning raised her eyes to look at Lu Ze, and said with a chuckle: "Congratulations, Prince Lu, for finding your three cousins-in-law right away."
Lu Zedao: "Twins marrying twin girls? The younger brother marries the older sister, and the elder brother marries the younger sister. This marriage is extremely inappropriate." (End of Chapter)
