In the afternoon, Qi Yuning went to Queen Qin's private treasury to select precious fabrics. After she selected five items and left the treasury, she saw Princess Pingrou bringing Lu Consort and Lu Baozhu.
Lu Baozhu saw the pomegranate red material in the hands of the palace maids behind Qi Yuning and said, "Your hands are really fast. I just heard that Jiangnan paid tribute to this batch of material, and you took the lead." !”
Qi Yuning said: "You like it?"
Lu Baozhu nodded: "Yes."
Qi Yuning gave the materials to Lu Baozhu and said, "Let's make some beautiful clothes. Zhong Ming's father, brother and sister-in-law have also come to Shengjing City and will return to Beicheng after the new year. Therefore, Zhong Ming and Lu Baohua's wedding is scheduled for the twelfth lunar month. Here, you have to get married before the twelfth lunar month."
This pomegranate red material is suitable for Lu Baozhu. I just hope that she, Lu Baozhu, can wear this material and find her husband as soon as possible.
Lu Baozhu yawned and sighed: "Oh."
"Why are you so sleepy?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Yesterday I knew my parents would be back today, so I couldn't sleep. I simply asked the maid to read me a storybook, and I didn't sleep until I was ugly."
Seeing that Lu Baozhu was still awake, Pingrou looked at Lu Baozhu and went to see Brother Yuan, "Baozhu, come and meet your little cousin."
Lu Baozhu approached Qi Yuan and looked at the child in his arms, "My little cousin looks similar to Lingling."
Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "He is my little nephew, Lingling's little cousin. Naturally, he looks similar to Lingling."
Although Lu Baozhu had long been accustomed to her lower status, she was not happy knowing that Brother Yuan wanted to call Qi Yuning aunt and only called her cousin.
"He will have to call me aunt in the future."
Princess Pingrou said: "You are Brother Yuan's cousin. Isn't it right to call me aunt?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Qi Yuning and I grew up together since childhood. We are like sisters. Her nephew is my nephew. What's wrong with calling her aunt?"
Qi Yuning sneered when he heard the words "loving sisters". Lu Baozhu was the one who was the most boastful.
Princess Pingrou said: "This is your cousin."
Lingling scratched her little head and said, "This is Lingling's cousin. Why is he also my aunt's cousin?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is still your father's cousin."
Lingling said: "Lingling and dad's cousin are the same?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
Lingling was very confused. She sorted out her seniority with her fingers, but she couldn't figure it out.
It was a great joy for Zhao Shu to be named a princess. In addition, Brother Yuan had not held a full moon banquet yet, so Prince Qi's palace decided to hold a full moon banquet on the sixth day of October.
Although it was said to be a full-moon banquet, it actually wanted to announce the fact that Zhao Shu had been crowned a princess in the prosperous capital city.
The full moon banquet was coming soon, and Qi Yuning was so busy that he had no time to rest.
Lingling is not sure whether she is afraid that Qi Yuning likes Brother Yuan more recently. She is very attached to Qi Yuning. When Qi Yuning is busy, Lingling still follows Qi Yuning, even if Qi Yuning ignores her. , she was also playing with the little peach wood sword obediently.
Even though the two sisters Baoshuang and Baoxue came back and wanted to play with Lingling, Lingling was unwilling to leave Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning actually likes Lingling to stick to him. When he is busy, he occasionally sees Lingling and feels exhausted.
Since Qi Yuan came back, Qi Yuning had not seen Lu Ze for five days. If Lingling hadn't mentioned it at night, Qi Yuning would have forgotten that he hadn't seen Lu Ze for five days.
"Mom, why didn't dad come to see Lingling? Does dad like his little cousin more?"
Qi Yuning said: "No, dad is probably busy. Besides, your uncle is in the palace, so your dad doesn't dare to come over after the palace closes. Mother will take you to see your dad right now."
Qi Yuning took Lingling's hand and headed to the side door. Seeing the dog hole next to the side door, she remembered that Lingling had crawled through here before and asked, "How did Lingling know there was a dog hole here?"
"My uncle said it. He said he crawled through this dog hole when he was a child."
Qi Yuning: "..."
No wonder Lu Yun came to their Prince Qi's Mansion from time to time when he was young, and there was no maid to follow him.
Qi Yuning took Lingling to Lu Ze's courtyard by familiar routes. When the lights were not on, he realized that Lu Ze had not returned yet.
Lingling blinked and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Dad is not at home. Are you secretly playing with your cousin?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and touched Lingling's head, "If Lingling has younger siblings, her parents will also play with them. Will Lingling be jealous then?"
Lingling thought for a while and said, "Dad and mother can play with Lingling, and Lingling can play with her younger brothers and sisters."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "But what if the younger siblings also want to play with dad and mom?" "Then let's play together, and dad and mom will play together with the younger siblings."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "When Lingling returns, her parents will give birth to a younger brother and sister for Lingling."
Lingling said: "Where is Lingling going back?"
Qi Yuning looked at the little Lingling in her arms and thought that it was probably only two months before she was pregnant with Lingling. She wondered if Lingling would still be here after she was pregnant with Lingling?
When Lu Ze returned, he saw the lights in the room were on. He thought it was the maid and the boy who were cleaning. When he entered, he saw Qi Yuning wearing plain clothes with her hair in a bun. "Yu Ning."
Lu Ze stepped forward and took Qi Yuning into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Qi Yuning pushed Lu Ze away and said, "Lingling is here too."
Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Dad!"
Lu Ze said: "Why are you here?"
Qi Yuning said: "We haven't seen each other for five days."
Lu Ze was stunned: "Have we not seen each other for so long?"
"You don't think about me at all these days? Am I more important or are national affairs more important?"
Lu Ze coughed and said, "National affairs are important."
Qi Yuning took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Lu Ze took Qi Yuning's wrist, held Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "You are second only to state affairs. Let me hold you for a while."
Qi Yuning said in Lu Ze's arms: "As busy as you are, no wonder Lingling hasn't had any younger siblings for three years."
Lingling nodded and said: "Daddy, don't be too busy. Lingling wants younger brothers and sisters. No, there are too many younger brothers now. If Lingling doesn't want any more younger brothers, just have younger sisters."
Lu Ze watched Lingling thinking seriously and chuckled: "Okay."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said in vain: "We have the final say in the birth of younger brothers and sisters. What if you rashly agree that you will only have younger brothers and no younger sisters in the future?"
Lu Ze said: "Then you and I will continue to work hard to have more babies."
Qi Yuning was slightly annoyed: "It's not you who gave birth to me, but you can easily say this."
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Then have two. If they are both brothers, there is nothing you can do. If they are sisters, everyone will be happy."
Qi Yuning thought that three children were indeed enough. According to what Lingling said, she and Lu Ze were so busy that they might not be able to take care of more children. Two children were too few. Qi Yuning had been thinking about too many children since she was a child. Several relatives who can be connected to her by blood.
There are too few close relatives connected to her by blood in this world.
Qi Yuning said: "You and I haven't gotten married yet. Even if we plan how many children we will have in the future, what if we can't get married this time?"
Lu Ze said: "Yu Ning, don't say stupid things!"
Qi Yuning smiled slightly.
……
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Prince Qi's Mansion was full of guests.
Lingling finally stopped clinging to Qi Yuning today, because she had many little playmates, including little Zhao Jie, Brother You, and two little sisters she knew from nowhere. They were only a little over two years old. Qi Yuning had never seen them before, but after asking, she found out they were Zheng Hao's two little nieces from Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Qi Yuning was entertaining guests in the mansion, received a greeting card, and went out one after another.
Seeing Shen Qian and Ning Wen at the door, Qi Yuning said: "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen."
Ning Wen looked at the familiar Prince Qi's Mansion and was filled with emotion: "I wonder if there is something going on in the house today. Sorry to bother you, but I wonder if we can go in and ask for a drink?"
Qi Yuning always remembered the day Ning Wen left the palace and returned to her parents' home. When she was only eight years old, she secretly cried once.
Now that the Qi family has a new baby, seeing Ning Wen happy and happy, Qi Yuning can smile with relief when he recalls how he secretly cried behind his maid's back when he was a child.
"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, young master Yu Qi, please come in quickly."
Qi Yuning asked again: "Did Lu Yun also come with you?"
Ning Wen said: "I'm here, but Han'er is sick. Nian Nian and Prince Lu are taking care of Han'er." (End of Chapter)
