Lingling's return is a happy event for the princess mansion.
During the meal, Princess Pingrou hugged Lingling and never let go. After the meal, Deqing pulled a cart of fireworks over and watched the fireworks in Xingyue Lake.
Seeing the fireworks all over the sky, Lingling jumped up with a small wooden sword: "Wow, what beautiful fireworks. Lingling is also celebrating the New Year. It's fun to celebrate the New Year."
Qi Yuning felt better about being pregnant this time than when she was pregnant with Lingling.
However, when she was pregnant with Lingling, Emperor Shi Yuan had just left. Lu Ze was very busy and felt guilty for spending time with Qi Yuning.
Now that the state affairs have been taken care of, Lu Ze can spend more time with Qi Yuning during the early stages of Qi Yuning's pregnancy. Normally, if he is not busy, he will come back from the palace early. Occasionally, he still has some unfinished business and will go to the princess's residence. Come and handle it.
There have been many courtiers coming to the princess mansion recently, and Qian Yun fell in love at first sight with Ali, who took care of Lingling.
It has been a long time since Qian Yun's wife died, and his daughter has gradually grown up. Now his official position is getting bigger and bigger, and he needs a wife to help him take care of the general affairs and educate his daughter.
Over the years, it is not that there are no noble ladies who want to marry him, but first of all, the women in Shengjing City are very noble, and secondly, he just wants to find someone to live a normal life, and does not want to get involved in the intricate complex of Shengjing City. relation.
Although Ali used to be a slave in Prince Qi's palace and is now the nanny of the little princess, after all, there is no connection behind it.
Lu Ze originally admired Qian Yun, but now that he saw that Qian Yun was interested in Lingling wet nurse, he was happy to have this marriage, so he went to Qi Yuning to talk about the matter.
Qi Yuning was calculating the ledger by the study window. When she saw Lu Ze coming, she closed the ledger and said, "You've been coming back earlier and earlier lately."
Lu Ze smiled lightly and said, "I have a good thing to tell you. Qian Yun has fallen in love with Lingling Nanny."
Qi Yuning was stunned and said, "Is this the Minister of Finance of the Ministry of Finance who you were going to introduce to Lu Baozhu as your brother-in-law?"
Lu Ze nodded and said: "Qian Yun has been doing business in the mansion these days and happened to meet Lingling Nurse several times. After learning that her husband passed away, she admired her for raising four children by herself and wanted to marry her."
Qi Yuning also felt that this marriage was a good one, "Sister Ali is gentle and meticulous, but if Ali gets married, Lingling will not have a nanny. I wonder if Lingling will let her go?"
Lu Ze smiled lightly and said: "Qian Yun's house is not far from the princess's house. If Lingling misses Ali, she can go to Qian's house to play. It is not easy for Ali to raise four children by himself. Although Now the eldest daughter and the second son are both in the palace, but after all, if she wants her four children to get ahead, marrying Qian Yun is the best plan."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Do you really like that Qian Yun so much?"
Lu Ze smiled lightly and said, "He is a person worthy of being entrusted with his life."
"Then I'll go talk to Ali right now."
Qi Yuning went to Lingling's room.
Ali was watching Lingling practicing calligraphy and said with a smile: "Princess, Lingling's handwriting is getting more and more beautiful. Somehow Lingling suddenly learned to write."
Lingling said: "Lingling learned it from her aunt. As long as Lingling learns a thousand words, she will have a sister!"
Qi Yuning touched his belly, wondering if he had failed to live up to little Lingling's expectations.
Qi Yuning said to Lingling: "You go out and play."
After Lingling left, Qi Yuning brought a cup of tea to Ye Li. Ye Li took the cup and said flattered, "Princess, I will pour the tea myself."
Qi Yuning looked at Ye Li and said, "Sister Ali, you and I have known each other since childhood. You have helped me take care of Lingling very well these years. Thank you very much."
Ye Li said: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. I have not yet thanked you for your help. Without the Princess, my four children and I don't know how we would live. Now Qing'er can be your majesty's companion, and Chi'er can Learning skills from Shang Gong is something I never dared to think about before."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I'm here today to be a matchmaker for you. Do you know the Minister of Finance of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Ye Li said: "I know."
Qi Yuning said: "This Minister Qian has been coming to the princess's mansion recently, and he has taken a liking to you and wants to marry you. Lu Ze and I both think this marriage is a great one, you..."
Ye Li said: "Princess, I have decided not to marry for the rest of my life."
Qi Yuning said: "I know that you and your husband were deeply in love, but he has passed away, and you will have four children to marry in the future. Marrying Mr. Qian will bring you all the benefits and no harm... "
Ye Li still whispered, clasping the handkerchief in his hand and said: "Princess, I will not marry again. I will be satisfied if I can raise my four children to adulthood."
Qi Yu rather did not force it and said, "Okay."
After leaving the house, Li Chun stood next to Qi Yuning and said, "Sister Ali doesn't know what she thinks. She is not willing to let such a good person like Minister Qian fall in love with her."
Qi Yuning said: "How can you force marriage into something important?"
Qi Yuning went to Lu Ze's study and told Lu Ze about Ali's unwillingness. Lu Ze didn't understand, "Qian Yun is such a good husband, how come he doesn't want either of them."
Qi Yuning said with a smile: "Are you thinking that it's a pity that you are not a girl? Otherwise, you would have married Qian Yun?" Lu Ze smiled softly, "By the way, I also bother you to be a matchmaker, Lin Gou Yongming, one of Jiang's subordinates in the Hanlin Academy, took a fancy to the vernal equinox with its spirit."
Qi Yuning asked: "Where does this Gou Yongming come from?"
Lu Zedao said: "In the spring of the year before last, I was born as a Jinshi. He was very talented in literature. His family used to do business. Now he still has a lot of business in his family. Because of his status as a merchant, the daughter of an official family disliked him. He was a businessman. He doesn't like having a daughter, so this marriage has always been difficult."
Compared with the maids who have been trained since childhood in Prince Qi's palace, the daughter of a merchant may not necessarily lag behind the daughter of a merchant at the Spring Equinox.
Qi Yuning said: "I want to meet Gou Yongming."
Qi Yuning was afraid that Gou Yongming wanted to use the spring equinox to climb the high branches of Prince Qi's mansion.
Lu Ze replied: "After tomorrow morning, I will ask him to come see you."
Qi Yuning sat opposite Lu Ze, gently waving the fan in her hand and said, "The maid next to me is indeed getting older and it's time for her to get married. She's still a little reluctant to let her go."
The Spring Equinox has always been steady, the Lichun is the most considerate and attentive, Jingzhe is decisive in her actions, Xiaoman will make her happy, and Gu Yu rarely speaks but is very considerate in his actions. They have been by her side for almost ten years.
Lu Ze said: "After getting married, it's not like I can't serve you anymore."
Qi Yuning said: "That's all, I'd better find a maid. I have to find a maid for Lingling."
There were many little girls in Prince Qi's palace and the princess's palace. Qi Yuning selected a few twelve-year-old children and named them Cuiliu, Egret, and Biyu.
When choosing the maids for Lingling, Qi Yuning let Lingling choose. Lingling also chose a few maids who were one or two years older than her and named them Tangyuan, Hongdou, Mungdou, and Tangsu.
Qi Yuning felt that these names were really bad, but the four little dolls were very happy and satisfied with their names.
Qi Yuning followed Lingling and only told the four maids to take good care of Lingling.
Qi Yuning only saw Gou Yongming three days later. Lu Ze was busy and forgot to mention it the next day.
Qi Yuning saw Gou Yongming. Gou Yongming was the same age as Vernal Equinox. He seemed to have a good appearance. He was born in a merchant's family and he was very warm and well-spoken.
Qi Yuning looked at Gou Yongming and said, "Why do you like my Spring Equinox?"
Gou Yongming smiled lightly and said: "Xiaoguan saw Sister Chunquin teaching the little princess to recite poems. At that time, Xiaguan thought how lucky it would be for Xiaguan to return home and have such a lovely wife and beautiful child. Besides, Xiaguan is superficial. , I like beautiful people, and apart from the princess, I have never seen anyone more beautiful than Sister Chunqun."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "What if you meet someone more beautiful than the Equinox in the future?"
Gou Yongming replied: "In my heart, the beauty of the princess ranks first, and the equinox ranks second. No matter how beautiful I meet, I can't surpass you two."
Qi Yuning was coaxed to be happy, "You are such a sweet talker, I really can't bear to marry you in Spring Equinox."
Gou Yongming said repeatedly: "Princess, you can rest assured that this official is not only willing to talk nicely, but is also willing to pay a betrothal gift of 10,000 taels."
When Qi Yuning heard the price of ten thousand taels, the hand holding the tea cup was slightly stunned. Even in princes and princes like theirs, many eldest sons only received a betrothal gift of more than ten thousand taels when they got married.
Qi Yuning said: "You should go back first."
After Gou Yongming resigned, Qi Yuning looked at Vernal Equinox coming out from behind the screen and said, "Are you willing to marry him?"
Spring Equinox blushed slightly and said, "I will listen to the princess."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Then I'll make the decision for you. I'll discuss it with your parents tomorrow and pick a good day to marry you."
Equinox's face turned even redder.
Qi Yuning looked at Li Chun Jingzhe Guyu Xiaoman and said, "It's time for you two to get married."
Xiaoman said generously: "Princess, I have someone I like."
Qi Yuning asked: "Who?"
"The prince's servant, Deqing, is going to marry Deqing."
After Xiao Man said these words, Li Chun and Jingzhe Guyu looked at each other.
The three of them said in unison: "I also like Deqing."
Deqing, who was ordered by Lu Ze to deliver food to Qi Yuning, happened to hear these words and couldn't help but touch his face. He didn't expect that he would be so popular with women. The Lu family's rules do not allow him to take concubines. As Lu Ze's personal bodyguard, he naturally obeyed.
I am destined to fail these sisters.
