Lu Ze sat next to Qi Yuning and said, "What do you want to eat?"
Qi Yuning said: "Chicken noodles."
Lu Ze ordered the maid behind him to go to the dining room to pass the food, while he held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "Yu Ning..."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ze shook his head. After all, he did not tell Qi Yuning about the malaria. He stretched out his hand to tidy up the broken hair on Qi Yuning's forehead, and said softly: "Have a good rest. I'm going to the palace first. I'll be back early." .”
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "I feel a lot better. I think the bitter medicine last night was very useful. Just go ahead and do your work. I'm not that squeamish yet."
After Lu Ze went out, he asked the maid next to Qi Yuning to take good care of Qi Yuning, and he also said: "Don't tell her about malaria yet."
Li Chun replied: "Yes."
Lu Ze went to the hut next door, picked up Lingling who had just woken up in the house, and said, "Daddy will take you into the palace today."
Lingling was not as excited as before when she heard that she was going to enter the palace. She said in a milky voice: "Mother, dear, dear, dear."
Lu Ze whispered to Lingling: "Mom is sick and can't play with Lingling. You can follow your father to the palace to play with your uncle first, okay?"
"Mother, dear!" Lingling struggled in Lu Ze's arms with tears in her eyes, "Oh, dear, dear."
Lu Ze coaxed helplessly: "I'll go to the palace and give you some cake."
Lingling wiped her tears with her little hand and then lay on Lu Ze's shoulder. Lu Ze chuckled and touched Lingling's little head: "You really love to eat."
……
After Qi Yuning finished her breakfast, she rested for a while and felt that her strength was gone. She didn't feel better until she rested until noon, when she was dealing with various business matters in Prince Qi's palace.
As soon as the letter was processed, Shen Nian came to visit with ginseng in hand, "Is your sister-in-law feeling better?"
Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "I'm feeling a lot better now. I feel like I'm fully recovered now. Except for a little fatigue and aching limbs, everything else is fine."
Shen Nian also smiled slightly and said, "As long as nothing happens, then don't worry."
Before Shen Nian left, Lu Baozhu also came to visit. Lu Baozhu looked at Qi Yuning's face and said, "Your face seems to have improved a lot. Your face looked scary last night."
Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Maybe I caught a cold. I drank medicine last night and it was much better. I just hope that I will get better tomorrow. There are only a few days left before Lingling's first birthday party."
Shen Nian said: "Sister-in-law, if there is any use for us regarding the first-year banquet, just give us instructions."
Qi Yuning looked at Shen Nian and was thinking about whether he should leave the affairs of the Princess's Mansion and Duke Lu's Mansion to Shen Nian's control.
In Qi Yuning's opinion, although the general affairs in the backyard of the Princess's Mansion and the Duke of Lu's Mansion are far inferior to the complicated and huge business of the Qi family, after all, the Princess's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion are not small families. There are many favors and affairs between the two. Qi Yuning sometimes has too many skills to do.
Moreover, Duke Lu’s residence does not need to be the only one in the Qi family. All the cousins in the second uncle’s and third uncle’s houses have also reached the age of getting married and having children. In the future, the affairs of the Duke will become more and more complicated. Qi Yuning now has no shortage of money. I don't care about everything too much, and my stewardship is broad, but after all, this is not a long-term solution.
If Shen Nian helps her manage the general affairs of the Princess's Mansion and Duke Lu's Mansion, it will indeed be a lot easier for her.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Yuning said to Shen Nian: "I really have something to entrust to you. I want you to take charge of the house. From now on, you will be in charge of the general affairs of the princess's mansion and the Duke's mansion. What do you think? "
Shen Nian was stunned, "Me?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Well, don't you want to?"
Shen Nian smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to handle the general affairs, but I'll make a joke." Qi Yuning said, "There is a grandma down there who will help you. You don't have to worry too much. If something big happens, If you can't make up your mind, you can still consult me or my mother."
Shen Nian replied: "Okay."
After Shen Nian left, Lu Baozhu said beside Qi Yuning: "Did you really leave the general affairs of our house to her?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "I am busy on weekdays. Lingling has grown up before her eyes. I have to spend more time with her. If I don't leave the general affairs of the Princess Mansion to her, will it be difficult to leave them to you? That's up to you too. Only if you can manage the family well."
Lu Baozhu said: "Yes."
After Lu Baozhu left, Qi Yuning kept busy until the evening. When he looked down at the account book, he felt a force on his shoulders.
Lu Ze whispered to Qi Yuning: "The disease is not cured yet, but there is no need to work so hard."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly at Lu Ze and said, "I don't have much to do. I feel healed now."
"Mother, dear!"
Qi Yuning saw Lingling being held by a maid behind Lu Ze. He was afraid of hugging Lingling because he was sick, "Lingling, mother is sick. Can she hug you in a few days?"
Lingling was babbling and calling her "Mother, dear," and stretched out her two little hands, eager for Qi Yuning to hug her. After a long time, when Qi Yuning couldn't hug her, she started to sob, and then burst into tears.
Qi Yuning held Lingling in her arms with great distress, "Hey, aren't you afraid that your mother will spread your illness?"
Lingling sobbed and stopped crying in Qi Yuning's arms. Qi Yuning looked at Lingling with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes and smiled lightly.
Lu Ze stepped forward and wiped away Lingling's tears. Lingling only hugged Qi Yuning's neck tightly. Qi Yuning really enjoyed the soft and waxy Lingling clinging to him.
When it was time for dinner, Qi Yuning still felt a little tired and had a slight headache. He didn't go out to eat. He only took a small bite in the room and fell asleep weakly.
At night, Qi Yuning still felt sweaty and sticky.
Qi Yuning noticed some movement and opened her eyes to see Lu Ze taking off her inner clothes. Qi Yuning said weakly: "Lu Ze, I'm still sick. Are you so hungry and unscrupulous?"
Lu Ze smiled lightly and said: "I am not the beast you think like that, but you are sweating all over and your clothes are all soaked, and I am changing your clothes!"
Qi Yuning stood up and saw that she had indeed shed an unknown amount of sweat, which made her feel even weaker.
After changing his clothes, Qi Yuning fell asleep. Unexpectedly, he woke up at the hour of the next day and was woken up by the beginning of spring when it was time to take medicine.
Not long after Qi Yuning took the medicine, she kept feeling a terrible migraine. In the afternoon, she felt a sharp chill again, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Several maids were so frightened by her that they brought several quilts to cover her. After Qi Yuning had been cold for almost half an hour, she felt sweating all over her body, her limbs ached, and she felt nauseated and vomited for a long time. My mouth suddenly felt dry.
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "Why is the cold so severe this time?"
Lu Ze hurriedly entered with the imperial doctor. Seeing Qi Yuning, whose hair on her forehead was wet with sweat, Lu Ze hugged her tightly in his arms.
Qi Yuning coughed weakly and uncomfortably in Lu Ze's arms: "Ahem, I thought the cold was all gone, but I never thought it would get serious again, but I feel so uncomfortable. I have never had such a fever. I have a headache. My bones hurt, and my whole body ached uncomfortably.”
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and sighed: "It's not a cold, it's malaria."
"What?!" Qi Yuning was surprised. After learning that it was malaria, she only felt more and more uncomfortable, "How could I have malaria?"
