Chapter 16 Lingling keeps crying As soon as these words came out, all the ladies stared at Guan Zhiyi in front of them with their eyes widened.
"Miss Lu Er, is this true?"
Lu Baohua faced the gazes of all the rich people and whispered: "It was my grandmother who made the engagement verbally."
The daughters all discussed: "When did the verbal engagement made by my grandmother be considered a marriage?"
"I heard that Prince Lu has always been filial, and he will agree to the engagement if Mrs. Lu makes an engagement. What is the origin of this girl? Being able to arrange a marriage with Prince Lu is a treasure."
"I know her. I met her at Uncle Xue's house. She is the sixth girl of the Guan family."
"Is that Miss Guan Liu who married Guan Zhiyi? No wonder, the Guan family girl has always had a reputation for virtue. I heard that she has been running the house for two years at the age of 16, so she is worthy of being the wife of the Lu family."
"The background is a little different, but marrying a virtuous wife is quite suitable for Prince Lu."
Qi Yuning laughed sarcastically and said, "It turns out she is Prince Lu's unmarried wife. How disrespectful!"
Guan Zhiyi had just spoken out about her engagement in desperation, but she had no choice. She had been preparing for the marriage for so long, and she could not let Qi Yuning take away the man she had planned for a long time.
Even though Lu Ze and Qi Yuning have a daughter, they have not yet gotten married. She must not miss this good opportunity.
After the prince and Qi Yuan took their seats, the luncheon began.
The prince, Princess Pingrou, and the consort Lu sat at the main table, followed by Mrs. Lu, Lu Ze, Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuning sitting at the main table.
Qi Yuning stood up and toasted: "This glass of wine is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess. My daughter has been granted the title of princess. Thank you both for your honor."
Zhao Chong smiled and said: "Princess Qi is very polite."
Zhao Chong drank the wine in one gulp.
Princess Pingrou smiled and said: "I like this child Lingling very much."
After saying this, Princess Pingrou glared at Lu Ze. If Lu Ze hadn't been confused and kept the secret from her for so long, she would have been able to show off her well-behaved grandson in public.
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Princess, no matter how good this child Lingling is, she is not Ze'er's daughter. I have chosen a marriage for Ze'er. If we get married by the end of the year, by the end of next year, maybe you can get it." Grandson."
Princess Pingrou frowned and said, "Mother-in-law..."
Lu Ze said repeatedly: "Grandma..."
Qi Yuning didn't wait for the mother and son to speak, and said, "Is it Miss Guan? Miss Guan just said she was Lu Shizi's unmarried wife. I didn't recognize Miss Guan as Lu Shizi's fiancée, and even said she was a cat or a dog. This glass of wine is dedicated to Prince Lu, and I hope Prince Lu will not care about my disrespect to your fiancée!"
Lu Ze frowned when he saw Qi Yuning holding up the wine glass. What's the disrespect?Qi Yuning never had any respect for him.
Lu Ze said: "I don't have an unmarried wife. Grandma, I have made it clear to the Guan family. The sixth girl of the Guan family has also given you a thank you gift for saving you, but the oral engagement cannot be counted!"
Princess Pingrou listened to Qi Yuning's words and said repeatedly: "Yes, Yuning, you have misunderstood. Parents have the final say on this important matter of marriage. Naturally, I and Lu's consort have the final say on Ze'er's marriage. We didn't give it to Ze'er." My son has decided to get married!"
Mrs. Lu's face darkened, she looked at Princess Pingrou and gasped with anger.
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "That's it."
Zhao Chong looked at his sister, then at his mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it won't be my sister and brother-in-law's turn to make the decision on Ze'er's marriage. His father, the emperor, and his mother have always loved Ze'er. You have chosen the prince concubine for him." , to some extent it must be approved by the father, the queen and the queen."
Princess Pingrou said with a smile: "The emperor's brother is right. The father, the emperor, and the queen have always loved Ze'er. Ze'er's marriage must be granted by the father."
Mrs. Lu was even more angry, but because these two were Royal Highnesses, she could only hold her anger in her heart.
No one at the table knew about the conflict at the main table. Guan Zhiyi, who was sitting at the table with the Lu sisters, had received a lot of goodwill from the rich.
Guan Zhi thought that not all daughters of aristocratic families were as contemptuous of others as Princess Qi.
By the time the banquet was over, word of the engagement between Prince Lu and the daughter of the Guan family had spread among the guests.
Lu Ze frowned when he heard that many people came to congratulate him and explained that there was no engagement, but to others it was just that there was no formal engagement.
Lu Ze had never met Guan Zhiyi, and had never had any feelings for her before, but she knew that she had come to cancel the verbal engagement, and she rashly admitted the unwarranted marriage. Lu Zeke felt extremely disgusted.
Qi Yu'an also heard the gossip, glanced at Lu Ze coldly, and said to the prince beside him: "Your Highness, while I am not in Shengjing, would you please help my sister pay attention to the marriage, but my surname is There’s no need for the mainland ones.”
Zhao Chong said: "Okay."
When Zhao Chong and Lu Ze left the palace, they said: "It seems that the Qi family hates Yun'er becoming a monk. I looked at King Qi just now and wanted to kill you. What happened to Princess Qi's child? Why? Does he look so much like you?"
Lu Ze said slowly: "Lingling is my daughter." Zhao Chong raised his eyebrows and said: "You and Princess Qi had a good time when you were young. It was common for her to follow you and call you Brother Ze, and later I didn't see you either. We are playing together, when did you give birth to your daughter?"
Lu Ze also used Qi Yuning's explanation to His Majesty and the Queen to explain to Zhao Chong, "We were young and ignorant at that time, so we got together, and later we separated."
Zhao Chong said with mixed emotions in his voice: "I see, then are you responsible for Princess Qi now?"
"I want to take responsibility. Princess Qi seems to have some hatred for our Lu family because of Lu Yun's becoming a monk."
Zhao Chongdao: "Thankfully Yun'er became a monk. Before Yun'er became a monk, did you just watch your child become your younger brother and sister?"
Lu Ze couldn't explain it, so he didn't explain it at all.
……
Princess Pingrou gave Lingling a set of exquisite rag dolls in the afternoon, and Lingling had a great time playing with the dolls.
After Qi Yuning checked the palace's account books, it was already dark. After taking a bath and washing up, he returned to the room and heard Lingling crying.
Qi Yuning walked to little Lingling and said, "What's wrong with Lingling? Are you crying so much?"
Lingling hugged Qi Yuning and cried, "Mother, I'm afraid."
Qi Yuning held Lingling in distress and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mother is here, and I will sleep with you."
Lingling's eyes were filled with tears, and she cried: "Dad, let's sleep together. Lingling is afraid."
Qi Yuning said to Lingling: "Lingling, be good. Mom will take you riding in a few days. Can you be good and fall asleep?"
Lingling was crying harder and harder. None of the maids around Qi Yuning had ever taken care of a child. Qi Yuning couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Lingling has been very well-behaved these days, and when she cries, she cries with pity and grievance, unlike her crying loudly now, and Qi Yuning doesn't know what to do.
Guyu found her sister-in-law who had given birth to three children.
Sister-in-law Guyu came to take a look and said, "Princess, the little princess was frightened during the day and is scared at night. Please coax her and try not to make her scared."
Qi Yuning couldn't help but blame Lu Ze, blaming him for letting Lingling see His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Daddy, mother, dear, where is daddy?"
Qi Yu rather went to the princess's house next door to deliver a message on the vernal equinox, and then went to the side door with Lingling in his arms.
When Qi Yuning arrived at the side door, Lu Ze also walked out of the side door.
Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning wearing thin clothes. Her long hair was only held up by a hairpin, and she was holding Lingling in her hand.
When Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze, he felt like he was seeing his savior, so he gave the crying Lingling in his arms to Lu Ze: "Lingling is crying too much! She won't let the maid hold her, and she insists on me holding her. too tired."
Lu Ze had never seen a child crying so hard, so he held Lingling in his arms and comforted her.
Lingling sniffed and said, "Lingling wants to sleep with her parents. Lingling is afraid."
"No."
Lingling cried even louder after hearing Qi Yuning's words.
Qi Yuning felt a headache. Lingling had always been obedient. Seeing Lingling being so noisy today, Qi Yuning felt helpless.
Just looking at the small tears hanging in the corners of Lingling's eyes, I feel more distressed.
Lingling cried until her voice became hoarse, and Qi Yu Ningxin felt like she was being crumpled into a ball.
Lu Ze raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "How about you listen to Lingling and let's sleep together..."
"You are dreaming!"
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Ze.
