Qi Yuning followed Lu Ze to his study. Lu Ze handed the still-cooled lotus seed soup to Qi Yuning's lips, "Try it, this is the lotus seed soup made by my mother. If Liu Qingqing made it, it wouldn't taste so bad." Qi Yuning took a sip. This was the first time she had tasted salty and sweet lotus seed soup. "It tastes so bad, why do you still drink it?" Lu Ze said helplessly: "When you are hungry, you can drink anything." Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "I will ask the maid to bring you snacks every day from now on." "No need, this is close to Qingfeng Tower. Just ask Deqing to help me buy snacks from Qingfeng Tower." Lu Ze smiled softly again and said, "But it's okay if you deliver it to me in person." Qi Yuning did not refuse, but said, "I will bring it to you when I have time." It's just that her free days are probably very few.
She was bored and took a book from the study room to read. When she saw the word Qingqi on it, she said, "I didn't expect you to read this kind of book?" Lu Ze said: "It belongs to Lu Baozhu. My mother felt that she stayed up late reading the storybook too much, so she asked me to confiscate a box of cages. I was afraid that she would find them at home, so I simply put them here." Qi Yuning flipped through the pages of the book and looked at it. Don't say that Lu Baozhu liked it. Mr. Qingqi's novel about the daughter's family acting recklessly and righteously in the world was really good-looking. Qi Yuning didn't like reading books about rich girls and poor scholars. It's not because I'm poor, but because I'm miserable. The poor scholar in those storybooks has to win the heart of a rich lady, and has to let the rich lady wash her hands and make soup. He even has to starch the whole family's clothes, cook and go to the ground, and take care of his mother-in-law and children... The poor scholar, on the other hand, only needs to study and does not need to work. After the poor scholar wins fame, he will marry a rich lady, take a beautiful concubine, and have a group of children. I’ve read so many books about the story of a poor scholar who makes a rich daughter, and it’s no wonder that Mr. Qingqi’s book about a chivalrous woman with great martial arts skills and heroic deeds has sold so well. Qi Yuning was fascinated by the storybook. Half an hour later, when Lu Ze came to call her, Qi Yuning realized that time had passed so quickly. "So fascinated?" Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Mr. Qingqi is really a wonderful man." No wonder it made Lu Baozhu's heart darken for a long time. Lu Ze said: "If you like to see it, take it back to see it." Qi Yuning smiled and shook her head: "Since she is Lu Baozhu's treasure, don't touch her." Lu Ze and Qi Yuning went to find Lingling who was playing in the backyard of Dali Temple, and got into the carriage together to return to the princess mansion. As soon as the three of them entered the princess mansion, Princess Pingrou only had Lingling in her eyes. She went over to pick up Lingling and said, "Good Lingling." "Grandma!" Lingling hugged Princess Pingrou's neck and smiled. Lu Ze asked Princess Pingrou: "Mom, you order lotus seed soup to be delivered every afternoon. Why did Liu Qingqing deliver it today?" Princess Pingrou said: "I asked Xiao He to send it to you. Come and find Xiao He."
Qi Yuning saw that Xiao He was young and had a round and fleshy face that was very pleasing to her. "See Your Highness the Princess, Crown Prince Lu, and Princess Qi." Lu Ze asked: "Why didn't you come to Dali Temple to deliver food today?" Xiao He said: "My sister in the Duke's Mansion gave me two pieces of smoked fish. After eating, I felt upset, so I asked my sister to help me deliver a food box to Dali Temple." Princess Pingrou frowned and said: "You child, the Japanese princess is happy to see you look good, so she lets you do such an important job. How can you control the food box? What if someone puts medicine in the lotus seed soup? manage?" Xiao Helian knelt down in panic. Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Ze and said, "No one put medicine in the lotus seed soup for you, right?" Lu Ze said: "Not really, I just thought it was a food box sent by the maid, but I didn't expect it was sent by Liu Qingqing, and Yu Ning happened to bump into it..." Before Lu Ze finished speaking, Qi Yuning pinched Lu Ze hard in the dark. Princess Pingrou also understood that Qi Yuning was jealous and chuckled, "That Liu Qingqing is really like that. If you don't want to be a good lady, you have to do some maid work. Yu Ning, you don't need to be jealous." .” After hearing this, Lu Baozhu came over and said, "No wonder Qi Yuning is jealous, mother, you don't know that my grandmother wants Liu Qingqing to be my brother's concubine, right?" Princess Pingrou was extremely angry, "She is really... the older she gets, the more confused she becomes. Ning Ning, you don't have to worry about it. With me here, I want to see if Lu Ze dares to take a concubine! I'll let that Liu Qingqing go in a moment." The Liu family will take her back!" Lu Ze said, "I wouldn't have taken a concubine without you." Lingling said in the arms of Princess Pingrou: "Grandma, what is concubinage? Some people said before that if a mother cannot give birth to a son, she must let her father take a concubine." Qi Yuning thought that Lingling should be talking about a few years later. She and Lu Ze have never had children, so it is inevitable that some people will make irresponsible remarks. Princess Pingrou said: "Any foul-mouthed kid will talk nonsense in front of a child. There are thousands of sons who can't compare to little Lingling." Lingling sweetly said: "Lingling likes grandma." Qi Yuning raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zedao: "What if we really only have one child, Lingling?" Lu Ze said: "Lingling is so considerate, and that's enough." Qi Yuning said: "But you will inherit the title in the future." "Isn't there Lu Yun?" Lu Ze said, "Even if Lu Yun can't give birth to a son, he will still steal other people's sons, so don't worry too much." Seeing Lu Ze say it seriously, Qi Yuning couldn't help but chuckle and said, "That's right." Today, it was rare for Lu Ze to come back when Lingling was still not sleepy. Lingling then pestered Lu Ze to play with her until she was tired and then fell asleep. Lu Ze did not carry Lingling back to the palace, but only put Lingling in the crib to rest. Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze, "I wonder if it's because of Brother Yuan's relationship. Lingling has been so entangled these past two days." Lu Ze said: "It's a pity that I don't have time to play with her. I don't know if she can go back smoothly? She has been here for more than a year." Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "If she can't go back, if she can grow up well here, there is nothing wrong with staying here." Lu Ze said: "But if there are two Linglings, which one will be Lingling? And Lingling will not grow up here, so we still have to let Lingling go back." Qi Yuning sighed softly in Lu Ze's arms and said, "The closer the wedding day comes, the more afraid I am that something will happen. I have been very irritable in the past few days, always afraid that something will go wrong with the marriage."
Lu Ze lowered his head and kissed Qi Yuning's lips gently, "This time we will definitely get married smoothly." Qi Yuning said: "If you have some free time these days, let's go to Xianglin Temple to offer incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you and me to get married smoothly." Lu Ze said: "Then tomorrow morning, you will stay here today." Qi Yuning nodded lightly and said, "Okay." Early the next morning, before dawn, Lu Ze went to Xianglin Temple with Qi Yuning, who was still awake. Arriving at the gate of Xianglin Temple, the genius shone brightly. Qi Yuning saw two familiar figures, and they turned out to be Shen Nian and Lu Yun. Apparently Shen Nian also saw Qi Yuning and came over to salute: "Princess, Prince Lu." Qi Yuning smiled slightly and said, "Why did you come to the temple so early in the morning?" Shen Nian said: "Han'er has been sick since she came to Shengjing City. It's hard to get better today, so I brought Han'er to the temple to seek health and safety." Lu Yun, who was standing next to Shen Nian, saw the Xianglin Temple in front of him and felt that his eyes were full of green vegetable leaves. He covered his head and said, "My head hurts!" Lu Yun's head kept hurting, and he felt extremely uncomfortable leaning against the temple wall. Lu Zelian stepped forward and asked, "Yun'er, are you okay?" Lu Yun saw Lu Ze in front of him and fainted in Lu Ze's arms. Lu Ze pinched Lu Yun's body repeatedly. Qi Yuning also stepped forward, "Lu Yun, wake up quickly!" Qi Yuning was not concerned about Lu Yun, but was afraid that if something happened to Lu Yun now, she and Lu Ze would not be able to get married. Lu Yun slowly opened his eyes and saw Qi Yuning in front of him. He was frightened and stood up from Lu Ze's arms. "Don't think that I will marry you if there is an imperial edict. You can marry me if you want. You have to Just obey me." Qi Yuning pointed at herself, "Lu Yun, are you talking to me?" Lu Yun said: "Otherwise? Qi Yuning, if you don't obey my advice, I would rather become a monk..." Lu Yun didn't know why, but his mind was full of green leafy vegetables and cold bran rice. He whispered: "I will marry you too, alas! Just marry you."
