Qi Yuning looked at Lu Baozhu helplessly, "Since you know he is a talented man, why do you care about his appearance?" Lu Baozhu held back her mouth and whispered: "You also have to care about your appearance." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said slowly: "Remember to get up early and dress up early tomorrow." Lu Baozhu pulled Qi Yuning and said, "First help me choose what color of rouge is suitable? Which jewelry matches better? Help me find it quickly." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Those literati don't like women to wear heavy makeup. They only like girls to wear light makeup with water and lotus." Lu Baozhu said: "If that's the case, why do you still want me to dress up?" Qi Yuning said: "This light makeup is much more difficult than heavy makeup. I used to have a makeup artist by my side, but it's a pity that she is now in Prince Jin's palace." Lu Baozhu said: "Is it frost? Then I will go look for her early tomorrow morning." Qi Yuning smiled lightly when he saw Lu Baozhu's eager look, "Then you have to sleep well today. Don't get a bad night's sleep if you don't sleep well." Lu Baozhu touched his forehead, hoping that there would be no small red pimples.
…… At dusk, Lu Ze returned. Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze and said, "If you are really busy, just wait until you return to Ning tomorrow to deal with official matters. There is no need to come back in such a hurry." Lu Ze gently hugged Qi Yuning and said, "No matter how busy I am, I won't even have time to spend with you." Qi Yuning slapped Lu Ze's hand on her waist and said, "It's outside!" After all, this was not in her palace. Two days after she got married, she was still a little unfamiliar with the princess palace. Lu Ze hugged him tighter, "What are you afraid of in your own yard?" Lu Ze put his arms around Qi Yuning and entered the room. When he saw Lingling practicing calligraphy in the room, he walked up and looked at her: "Lingling's handwriting is so good." Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze and Qi Yuning and said, "Lingling already knows a lot of words. Where are the younger brothers and sisters that mother promised to have?" Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning with a smile and said, "Then I will work hard tonight?" Qi Yuning pinched Lu Ze's waist hard. Qi Yuning saw that Lingling's handwriting had made great progress. Over the past year or so, although Lingling had not grown taller, she always felt that she had grown up a lot. Qi Yuning looked at the jade pendant hanging in front of Lingling's neck, picked it up and rubbed it, and it seemed that she was getting pregnant with Lingling very quickly. Thinking about Lingling gradually growing bigger in his belly, Qi Yuning was filled with anticipation. Lingling watched Qi Yuning caressing her jade pendant and said, "Mother, do you like this card? Can I give it to you?" Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Just keep Lingling." At night, Qi Yuning thought that Lingling would pester them to sleep together today, but he did not expect that after finishing her meal, she would obediently go to sleep in the small side room. Qi Yuning reluctantly sat by the bed and slept with Lingling, "Why don't Lingling want to sleep with mother?" "Lingling is an older child, and daddy said older children can ride horses only when they sleep alone!"
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head and kissed Lingling's forehead. After putting Lingling to sleep, Qi Yuning returned to the room and saw Lu Ze who had just come out of the shower. His short hair was full of water drops, and Qi Yuning couldn't help but blush. Not to mention, it’s hard for outsiders to see Lu Ze’s short hair, otherwise he would be attracting bees and butterflies!
Lu Ze asked softly: "Lingling is asleep?" Qi Yuning said: "Sleep, you promised her to ride a horse, but don't have time to take her to ride a horse. I have some business matters tomorrow afternoon, so you take Lingling to the racecourse to ride a horse, otherwise she will remember for a long time." Lu Ze said: "That's fine." Tonight, he was worried about returning to Ning tomorrow. After calling for water, Qi Yuning said nothing to stop Lu Ze from continuing his mischief. A good night's sleep. Early in the morning, Qi Yuning got up to dress up. After Lingling woke up, she couldn't wait to return to her home. Although they were neighboring mansions, to Qi Yuning, they were still different. Qi Yu'an and Zhao Shu were also looking forward to Qi Yuning's return early in the morning. It was rare for Qi Yuning to go to the main entrance of the palace. The main entrance of Prince Qi's palace was not often open. The days when Qi Yuning went home through the main entrance were rare. When Zhao Shu saw Qi Yuning entering, she came forward with her child in her arms and said, "Brother Yuan, look, aunt is back." Qi Yuning hugged Brother Yuan and said with a faint smile, "I haven't seen Brother Yuan for three days. He seems to have grown up a bit." "Mother!" Lingling came forward. Qi Yuning knew that Lingling was easily jealous, so he didn't hug Brother Fang much and gave Brother Fang back to Zhao Shu. Qi Yuan and Lu Ze were chatting about official court affairs. Zhao Shu saw this and said, "My sister is back. You didn't ask me how my sister has been these past two days. Why did you ask about the official affairs of the court?" Qi Yu'an said: "How can my sister be so temperamental as to be wronged?" Zhao Shu listened to Qi Yuan's words and thought about it. After all, Qi Yuning had not had the temperament to be wronged since she was a child. She was not worried that she would not have a good life in the princess' mansion. Qi Yu'an said: "It's not that I'm busy with official duties and neglecting my sister, but that His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Nowadays, people in the court have different opinions, and there is no need to worry. If the court is in turmoil, what will happen to the country?" The safety of the people is in danger.” Qi Yuning whispered in Qi Yuan's ear: "Your Majesty has issued the edict of passing the throne. Brother, you don't need to worry." Qi Yuan asked: "Who is it among King Xu, King Jin and King Shou?" Qi Yuning said: "It's not any one of the three of them." Qi Yuan looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Who else could it be?" Qi Yuning made a three-character sign. Qi Yuan said: "Why didn't your majesty appoint the heir immediately? Now the members of King Xu, Shou, King Jin and others are fighting among themselves." Qi Yuning said: "My son is still alive. If I designate a four- or five-year-old child as the future prince, the court officials will not be happy. They will definitely persuade His Majesty to change his mind. And for little Zhao Jie, his life will be in danger." King Xu and King Shou said that he looked kind, but in the end the temptation of imperial power was too great. The power of speaking one thing is so shocking. In fact, if Zhao Jie succeeds to the throne and Lu Ze is regent, there will be a storm.
But by then it was hard to change the edict. Qi Yuning looked at the little Lingling beside him and touched Lingling's head. At that time, he didn't know whether Lingling would still be here. Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Dad, when are we going to ride horses? Can I take my uncle You brother to ride horses with me? Last time I promised my uncle that I would let dad take him to ride horses." Lu Ze said: "After lunch, we will go horse riding." Little Zhao Jie was almost born without a father, and there was no one to take him riding horses. Lingling looked at Qi Yu'an again and said: "Uncle, you also go with Lingling, okay? Brother You said that his parents listen to you the most. If you go together, Brother You can go riding." Qi Yuan asked Zhao Shu who was standing aside, "Do you want to learn horse riding together?" Zhao Shu nodded, without spoiling Lingling's interest, and said, "Well, I'll have to trouble Yu Ning to take me on a ride together later." Qi Yuning said: "Just let my brother teach you. I have a big business guest coming to Shengjing today. I want to meet him in the teahouse." Qi Yu'an said: "You are newly married, just let your subordinates do the business matters. If you do it yourself, wouldn't you be very tired?" Qi Yuning said: "I have already agreed, so I can't shirk it." Lu Ze looked sideways at Qi Yuning. He always felt something strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange. He always felt that Qi Yuning was hiding something from him. Qi Yuning raised his eyes and caught Lu Ze's eyes, coughing slightly. Qi Yuning, who was used to being open-minded, really felt guilty about this matter for no reason. So much so that she didn't dare to look at Lu Ze. It wasn't until after lunch that Lingling urged Lu Ze and Qi Yu'an to ride away, Qi Yuning breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to the princess mansion.
