Lu Yun married a new daughter-in-law in the courtyard. Lu Ze couldn't enter the house rashly, so he just played with Lingling in the room. After Qi Yuning hurriedly freshened up, he glanced at Lingling and then went to Lu Yun's courtyard. Outside Lu Yun's courtyard, Princess Pingrou's confidant nuns had surrounded the courtyard. The four maids that Shen Nian brought as a bride stayed inside, and all the maids from Lu Yun's previous courtyard were gone. Qi Yuning entered the courtyard where the red happy words were hidden, and saw that the maid beside Shen Nian carried out a large ball of blood-stained red clothes and burned the clothes to ashes with a candle. Qi Yuning hurried into the room and saw Shen Nian lying weakly on the bed, with a piece of cloth wrapped around his forehead, crying softly. Lu Yun on the side listened to Princess Pingrou's scolding, "You, you, what do you want me to say about you?" Qi Yu Ningrao had already learned from Lingling that she probably didn't have any younger siblings, but she never expected that something would happen on the second day of the big day. The imperial doctor who was familiar with Princess Pingrou rushed over, checked Shen Nian's pulse, and sighed, "The princess has had a miscarriage." Princess Pingrou looked disappointed, gave the imperial doctor a small box of one hundred taels of silver and said, "Please prescribe some medicine to recuperate your body. This matter must not be revealed at all." "Yes."
After the imperial doctor left, Princess Pingrou asked the maids around her to go and give some good advice to the maids around Lu Yun. After ensuring that no one dared to say anything about the matter, Princess Pingrou left Lu Yun's courtyard exhausted. Qi Yuning stepped forward to help Princess Pingrou and said, "Mom, what's going on? It's been five months, why is something still happening?" After five months of pregnancy, the fetus is considered stable, so why would it suddenly have a miscarriage? Princess Pingrou sighed and said: "Although yesterday's wedding was simplified, I was tired after all. Lu Yun, a free-spirited fool, actually still messed around at night... ugh!" After all, it was something that happened in the brother-in-law's room. Qi Yuning didn't say anything more and just advised Princess Pingrou: "Mom, after Shen Nian takes good care of himself, you will still have a grandson." Princess Pingrou sighed feebly. After sending Princess Pingrou back to her room, Qi Yuning went to Lanwen Academy again. When he entered, Lu Yun looked at Shen on the bed with guilt and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really nothing!" Shen Nian turned his back to Lu Yun and looked at Brother Han beside him, with tears still in his eyes. Qi Yuning stepped forward and said: "Miscarriage is the same as confinement. You can't cry during confinement. Stop crying and take good care of yourself. The baby will be back soon." Shen Nian heard Qi Yuning's voice and reached out to wipe away the tears in front of her eyes, "Okay." Qi Yuning said: "You should take good rest in the past few days. Don't be too sad. Brother Han needs you too." Shen Nian still couldn't stop crying and said, "Okay." Qi Yuning didn't persuade her any more. When she left Lanwen Academy, she glanced at Lu Yun unhappily and said, "Miscarriage is very hurtful, not to mention the miscarriage of a five-month-old child. Treat her well in the future. Don’t be irresponsible just because you don’t have a child…” Lu Yun married Shen Nian because of her unborn child. Now that Shen Nian had lost her unborn child, Qi Yuning was really afraid that Lu Yun, a bastard, would not admit his guilt. Lu Yun pouted and said, "I'm not that shameless." Qi Yuning returned to his courtyard. Just when he was about to deal with the letters and account books from various places, he saw Lu Baozhu rushing in. "Qi Yuning, do you know what happened today? Why don't you serve tea? I went to ask my mother. She was very disappointed and sad and didn't want to say more to me?" Qi Yuning whispered in Lu Baozhu's ear: "Shen Nian has had a miscarriage."
"What?" Lu Baozhu said in shock, "Shen Nian just entered the hospital yesterday, why did she have a miscarriage?" Qi Yuning said: "She is five months pregnant and has been pregnant for a long time. Since she is pregnant during the period of national filial piety, the less people know about this matter, the better, and not many people know about it." Lu Baozhu said: "No wonder, I was thinking that no matter how bad Lu Yun was, he shouldn't marry a widow with a child. It turns out that he was married to his son!" Qi Yuning also sighed and said, "Don't dwell on this sad thing with me." "Don't worry, I won't mention it randomly." Qi Yuning looked outside and felt a little sad that it was raining lightly in the first month of the year. Lu Ze came over with Lingling in his arms, looked at Lu Baozhu and said: "This matter is big or small, you must not say a word to anyone else!" Lu Baozhu pursed her lips, indicating that she would close her mouth tightly. After Lu Baozhu left, Qi Yuning took Lingling from Lu Ze and said, "It's a pity that Lingling has no younger brother or sister." Lu Ze approached Qi Yuning and said, "So we still have to give Lingling a younger brother and sister. .” Qi Yu would rather ignore Lu Ze. He had taken a break from court in the past few days, and there were not many state affairs. There was no need to go to court early. On weekdays, he only had to go to the palace for two hours a day. He had a lot of leisure, and his actions were ridiculous. If he was busy with Lu Yun's marriage in the past few days, he would probably be even more ridiculous. Qi Yuning looked at Lingling in her arms and said, "Don't be in a hurry to give Lingling a younger brother or sister. It will take at least three years before she starts asking for them." Lingling quickly picked up the brush on the side and stuffed it into her mouth. Qi Yuning took the brush from Lingling's hand and said, "You can't eat it." Last year, the Lantern Festival was not lively at all because of the national mourning. This year, the imperial court held a Lantern Festival in Shengjing City, and all the prominent families in Shengjing City presented lanterns. Qi Yuning ordered someone to prepare a lantern early in the morning, and it was a rabbit lantern. Because she is a rabbit, she also likes little rabbits very much. What is prepared in the princess's mansion is a water wheel lamp, a clever mechanism, and the lamp will rotate accordingly. At the palace banquet, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze left the palace banquet early with Xiao Zhao Jie and Lingling. Go to Shengjing City to watch the lively lantern festival. This is the first time Zhao Jie has seen such a beautiful Lantern Festival since he was born: "It's so beautiful, the lanterns here are so beautiful, and there are also lantern riddles." Zhao Jie and his new playmate Chu Qing were wandering around, each holding a fish lantern and playing on the bridge. Qi Yuning saw Zhao Jie laughing and playing from a distance, and said to Lu Ze, "Zhao Jie is actually still a child." Zhao Jie looked at the boats carrying lanterns coming one after another on the moat. He walked to the river and said, "It's so beautiful!" Chu Qing pointed to the lotus lantern in front of her and said, "The peony lantern here is so big. My sister likes peonies very much. She will be very happy if she can take this peony lantern home." Zhao Jie walked up to Lu Ze and asked, "Cousin, how can I get this peony lantern?" Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "The lanterns will go around the river until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and then they will be burned." Zhao Jie raised his head and said, "It would be a pity to burn it. Give it to Chu Chi. She likes peonies." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Okay, when the lanterns are gone, you can put out the river lanterns to pray for blessings. What is your majesty's wish?" Zhao Jie said: "I want to grow up as soon as possible, so that I can make my mother happy. My mother has always wanted me to grow up quickly and fill up my wings as soon as possible."
Qi Yuning touched Zhao Jie's head and glanced at Lu Ze helplessly. The grudge between Empress Dowager Zhou has finally been settled. After the new year, when Lu Ze demotes Uncle Zhou Guo from the capital, the feud will become even deeper. Lu Ze looked at Zhao Jie and said, "Your Majesty, it is time to grow up as soon as possible, but growing up just by growing old is not enough. You also need to gain knowledge and thoughtfulness, the Great Wall Mansion." Qi Yuning said: "Actually, only you children are looking forward to growing up. When you grow up, you will have endless troubles. How can you be as carefree as you were when you were young?" Zhao Jie said: "When I grow up, Lingling can also grow up and call me little uncle. I really want Lingling to call me little uncle." Qi Yuning looked at Lingling in Lu Ze's arms and smiled softly: "That's true." Lingling was dressed very thickly today, with a tiger-head hat on her head. She showed a very happy little face, and a pair of small peach blossom eyes that were quite overwhelmed. Qi Yuning took Lingling from Lu Ze's arms and pressed it against Lingling's little face. She was still a small stove. With such a cold wind blowing, Lingling's face was not cold at all. Lingling and Qi Yuning giggled while kissing each other. After the boat carrying the lanterns left, the riverside was full of people selling praying lotus lanterns. Lu Ze bought a few and gave them to Zhao Jie and Chu Qing, and also gave one to Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning's wish is for his family to be healthy and his country to be peaceful. Xiao Chuqing walked up to Qi Yuning, touched her head sheepishly and said, "Princess, I can't write yet." Zhao Jie said: "I can write, and I will help you write! What is your wish?" Chu Qing said: "I want to have a father, so that my mother doesn't have to work so hard, not only to take care of sister Lingling, but also to take care of us." Zhao Jie paused while writing, "I also want to have a father! I don't even know what my father looks like anymore. I can only see what my father looks like by relying on the portrait my cousin drew for me."
