After hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Mrs. Lu was a little moved: "It would be a blessing for me to have your wife as my granddaughter-in-law, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance." Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "If I can find a good husband, my Jiayun will not be restricted by status." Madam Lu Er secretly laughed in her heart. She originally thought that Madam Zhou was unable to carry things clearly, but now she realized that she was too clear-headed. She was thinking about being Lu Ze's concubine!
The position of the regent's concubine really doesn't need to be limited to status. Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up and she said, "That's right. If you can marry a good husband, you don't have to stick to your status." Lingling's hundred-day banquet was set up with a hundred tables, and it was very lively. Qi Yuning followed Lu Ze to toast the guests one by one. In the afternoon, in Lingling's small side courtyard, little Zhao Jie was lying on Lingling's little bed. He looked at the little Lingling and asked Qi Yuning: "Sister Princess, when will Lingling call me?" Uncle?" Qi Yuning said with a smile: "It will start barking this time next year." Xiao Zhao Jie teased Lingling with a rattle, and Lingling giggled. Ali said to Qi Yuning from the side: "The little princess is the funniest child I have ever seen. She has been laughing all the time in just a hundred days, but she doesn't like to cry." Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said happily: "My Lingling is the most well-behaved."
Lingling Xu smiled happily when she heard everyone praising her. Princess Pingrou smiled from ear to ear when she heard everyone's praise for Lingling. After Lingling's 100-day banquet, the banquets continued. Qi Yuning and Lu Ze did not attend, but were busy with Lu Yun's wedding, which was scheduled for the eighth day of the first lunar month. On New Year's Eve, as soon as the invitations to Lu Yun's wedding were distributed, everyone in the capital was shocked. In Duke Lu's Mansion, Mrs. Lu was extremely angry. She came to the Princess Mansion with only a cane and found Princess Pingrou who was discussing the wedding banquet dishes with Qi Yuning. "Your Highness Princess, Yun'er is your biological son who grew up by your side, and you asked him to marry a widow with a lone star and an oil bottle. Is this how you want to marry your mother?" Princess Pingrou frowned when she saw Mrs. Lu who had barged in, and said: "Mrs. Lu, Princess Pingrou will give you some respect for your consort's sake. Do you really want to show off your mother-in-law in front of me?" Are you on the shelf?" Mrs. Lu said: "Your Highness, you also know that you have a noble status. Yun'er is your son. Finding a wife for him is not only a matter of thousands of choices, but it cannot be someone whose parents died young and her husband was killed." Madam, I will never agree to this marriage!" Princess Pingrou said coldly: "The wedding date has been set, so you can't help but agree." Mrs. Lu gasped angrily and said: "God is blind, how come Lu Yun and Lu Ze end up with a mother like you! I absolutely shouldn't find a widow like Shen Nian for Lu Yun! The bride wants When you enter the gate of my Lu family, step over my corpse." Duke Lu Guo heard the quarrel here and came over again. When he saw Mrs. Lu, he said, "Mom, what are you doing? Lu Yun is very happy, so don't say more." Mrs. Lu said loudly: "Why don't you say more? People like Shen Nian are looked down upon even by the widower who married for the second time and filled up the house!" She is not an authentic young lady of the Shen family, but just an adopted daughter. Her biological father was an eighth-grade junior officer in the army and died early. How can such a girl be worthy of joining my Lu family! " "Repent of the engagement now before the ceremony is completed, otherwise I will crash to death in front of the gate of the princess mansion on Lu Yun's big day!" Princess Pingrou listened to Mrs. Lu's words and said, "If you want to bump into me, just bump into me. If you cry, make trouble, or hang yourself, don't come and make trouble in front of me!" Lu Guogong even persuaded Mrs. Lu to leave. Qi Yuning saw Princess Pingrou and said angrily: "Mother, please calm down." Princess Pingrou threw the pen down on the inkstone angrily, "Lu Yun, that bastard!" Qi Yuning advised: "Calm down, your body and bones are in critical condition. Lingling is looking forward to you taking her out to play!"
Qi Yuning motioned to Li Chun behind him to bring Lingling over. After seeing Lingling, Princess Pingrou lost most of her anger, "If you have to make me angry during the Chinese New Year, Lingling is still well-behaved." Qi Yuning breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the noise, Lu Ze rushed over and said to Princess Pingrou: "Mother." Princess Pingrou said: "Your good grandmother is really irritating. Is it because I want to marry him a second-married daughter that Lu Yun caused trouble by himself? He didn't bring it on himself. It's really a big mistake during the New Year." You have to be angry to make a noise." "Mom, you don't have to be angry." Princess Pingrou looked at the little Lingling in her arms and said, "Lingling is still the best." At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, neither Qi Yuning nor Lu Ze attended. Instead, they accompanied Lingling to set off firecrackers and fireworks in the courtyard. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. However, the baby Lingling was a little afraid of firecrackers and fireworks and cried when he heard the sound. Qi Yuning had to give up playing with the baby Lingling. But when the fireworks came from the distance in the imperial city, Lingling was no longer afraid, her little peach blossom eyes were sparkling. Under the fireworks, Lu Ze kissed Qi Yuning and said, "This year can be considered as the three of us really spending the New Year together." Lingling's little eyes rolled, and she raised her head and kissed Qi Yuning on the face. Qi Yuning looked at Lingling in surprise, "Lingling is so good!" But he didn't expect that Lingling took a bite of herself and then started to eat her little hand. On New Year's Eve, the imperial doctor was constantly coming in and out of Duke Lu's mansion. Mrs. Lu seemed to be so angry that she fell ill this time. When Qi Yuning heard the news, he looked at Lu Ze and said, "With your grandmother like this, can Lu Yun and Shen Nian really get married by then?" Lu Ze said: "Grandma will not really go to the gate of the princess's house to seek death. The marriage should also go smoothly." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "I hope so." …… On the first day of the new year, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze put on high-grade palace clothes early in the morning and took Lingling into the palace to meet the Queen Mother. Princess Pingrou had already taken little Lingling to see the Queen Mother. Now that the Queen Mother saw Lingling, she felt that her illness was better. "I heard that Yun'er is getting married. His wife is the adopted daughter of the Shen family in Lingzhou. How many days ago was she the adopted daughter of the Qi family?" Qi Yuning replied: "Exactly." The Empress Dowager said: "No matter how you look at this girl, she doesn't match Yun'er." Lu Ze said: "Yun'er likes it myself, and my mother has suffered countless gossips about it." The Queen Mother thought about her daughter's mother-in-law and said, "No wonder your mother came to the palace with red eyes last night." After Qi Yuning and Lu Ze chatted with the Empress Dowager for half an hour, they went to Tai Chi Palace to meet Xiao Zhao Jie and Empress Dowager Zhou. Empress Dowager Zhou also asked about Lu Yun's marriage, "Why did you choose a second-married girl to be your wife? Yun'er is a bit of a playboy, but after all, he is young and can change his behavior, so he may not be able to marry a good wife. " Qi Yuning said: "Lu Yun likes him himself. The most important thing is that he is right about marriage." Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said, "That's true. It's rare in this world that you like yourself." Little Zhao Jie looked at the soft and waxy little Lingling beside him who could not speak, and gave Lingling a red seal. Lingling took the red seal and was about to put it in her mouth. Qi Yuning stopped her again and again. The almost four-month-old Lingling Ling likes to put anything in his mouth, and he also likes to eat from his hands. Queen Mother Zhou said slowly: "Yu Ning, have you met my niece too?"
Qi Yuning said: "I've seen her before. Miss Zhou's appearance is stunning. She is actually a huge beauty." Empress Dowager Zhou smiled lightly and said: "My niece is so beautiful. After thinking about it, there is only one regent in the whole capital who can match my niece." Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Lu Ze and said: "Now that Guoxiao has been released, the Ai family is thinking of the next imperial edict to make Jiayun the regent's concubine!"
