Lu Ze recalled what he saw when he touched the Ling Ling Jade Lock a few days ago. He held Qi Yuning's hand under the table and said, "It's not ridiculous to be careful about everything, but you eat with me, eat with me." If someone really poisoned the food, wouldn’t it mean that both you and me would be poisoned?” Qi Yuning smiled and said: "We were born in the same quilt and died in the same acupuncture point. Although you and I were not born in the same year, the same month and the same day, it would be good if we died of poisoning on the same year, the same month and the same day, so as to save you from marrying someone else after my death." Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said solemnly, "I will not marry another woman." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You didn't say that before. Do you still remember when you were in Longzhou City that you said that if I didn't want to, you wouldn't marry someone else. Now you are determined not to marry someone else?" Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Because I know you must be unwilling. And you will definitely not die before me." Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "I'm two or three years younger than you, so I won't die before you." Lu Ze took a sip of wine and said, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't say such unlucky words, let's have a meal." After returning to the princess mansion from the palace banquet, it was still lively. Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, the autumn wind is neither cold nor hot, and the full moon is in the sky, the Princess Mansion family can be regarded as reunited. In front of the water pavilion, there is an offering table to worship the Taiyin Empress.
Everyone bowed to the incense one by one. When Qi Yuning came forward with Lingling in his arms, Lingling didn't need to be taught. A pair of small fists were already clasped together and worshiping towards the moon. Qi Yuning kissed the side of Lingling's face and said with a faint smile, "Lingling is really smart." Lingling looked at the mooncakes in front of her and made babbling noises. Qi Yuning took a piece of mooncake and handed it to Lingling and said, "Want to eat?" Lingling's little peach blossom eyes were full of crystal light and said: "Eat, eat." Qi Yuning chuckled: "You can't eat this mooncake." "eat!" Qi Yuning made some mooncake skin and fed it to Lingling, who giggled at Qi Yuning. Princess Pingrou looked at the harmony of the family and said with a smile: "Now our family is considered complete. The only one is you, Baozhu. You are still missing a husband. You have to find a husband early!" Lu Baozhu: "Ah? What?" Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "You are already twenty-one years old. It's time to find a husband. If you really can't forget Shen Jialin..." Shen Nian was also feeding Brother Han and eating mooncakes. Hearing Princess Pingrou's words, Shen Nian raised his eyes and looked over. Lu Baozhu was shy and annoyed and said: "Mom, what are you talking about? What about Shen Jialin? It's too late for me to hate him! Don't talk nonsense when Shen Nian is still here!" Princess Pingrou said: "I made a mistake, but you have to take the marriage seriously." During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone listened to a play before they dispersed. Qi Yuning returned to her room and fell asleep. In her sleep, she vaguely saw Lu Ze hugging her tightly at night, her eyes full of black and blue. Seeing Xiao Lingling standing aside blankly, she had never seen such a weak little Lingling. Qi Yuning gasped loudly after being woken up. Lu Ze opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Why did you wake up?" Qi Yuning leaned on Lu Ze and said, "I have a nightmare." Lu Ze touched Qi Yuning's head and said, "As long as I'm here, the nightmares are all fake. Just sleep a little longer."
Qi Yuning leaned in Lu Ze's arms and slept soundly. When he woke up, he felt very tired. After dressing up, Qi Yuning asked Gu Yu beside him: "Have you handed out the invitation to the Liu family for Lingling's first birthday party?" Guyu said: "Princess, don't worry, it has been sent out a long time ago, and the boy who went to deliver the letter to the Liu family came to report that there is a happy event in the Liu family. Master Liu Changgeng has been promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of War. He should be able to celebrate the birthday of the little Princess Lingling." When I arrived, I came to Beijing to take up a post.” Qi Yuning said: "Liu Changgeng?" "It's the child adopted by Uncle Liu's family at that time." Qi Yuning's aunt died young, and his affectionate uncle did not marry another child. Instead, he adopted a child from the clan into the Liu family. This Liu Changgeng was also the cousin of Qi Yuning and Qi Yu'an. However, this cousin Liu did not want to cling to the Qi family's wealth at all. Qi Yu'an had previously thought about letting his cousin join the Qi Family Army, but this cousin was also ambitious, so he went to join the Lingnan Army in the far south. There has been no news about him in the past few years. I didn't expect that he had such great abilities. Qi Yuning smiled and said: "After all, he is from the same lineage as my uncle. Now that he has a great future, it is a good thing." Qi Yuning looked at the Qi family's account books and fiddled with the abacus. Hearing a sound of milky sounds calling her mother, Qi Yuning lowered his head and saw Lingling crawling on the ground. Qi Yuning picked up Lingling without disdain, looked at Lingling's little face and said, "Why did you get up so early today?" Lingling pressed against Qi Yuning's face, babbling words that Qi Yuning couldn't understand. Ali said from the side: "The little princess seemed to have a nightmare last night. She kept crying so hard that she fell asleep again after being coaxed for a long time. Such a young person can actually have nightmares." Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head distressedly and said to Ali: "Next time if Lingling has nightmares again, come and wake me up. Don't be afraid of disturbing Lu Ze and I's rest." Ali responded quickly: "Yes." Qi Yuning noticed that Lingling was extremely clingy today, but Qi Yuning liked the clinginess of the little baby Lingling very much. Smelling the milky fragrance of Lingling, Qi Yuning felt exhausted. Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "Lingling has been wronged. If she has nightmares in the future, my mother will be with Lingling." Lingling's little hand held Qi Yuning's hand tightly, and placed her little hand on the red envelope that Qi Yuning had bitten by a mosquito yesterday. Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and smiled and said, "Lingling is so good. She even tickles my mother. She is much more considerate than your father." "What did you mother and daughter say about me behind my back?" Lu Ze came in from the outside. Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze coming in and said, "Why did you come back from court today?" Lu Ze said: "There are three days of rest in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and today is still the period of rest." Qi Yuning raised her hand to look at Lu Ze and said, "Lingling knew I was bitten by a mosquito, so she would scratch it for me. It's so considerate." Lu Ze chuckled lightly and said in a low voice: "I will also relieve your itching..." Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Ze and said, "Shameless, Lu Ze, how could you say such third-rate words in front of Lingling?" Lu Ze took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, placed the mint ointment inside and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll apply mint ointment on you." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You obviously did it on purpose."
Lu Ze just smiled and applied medicine to Qi Yuning, "These mosquitoes are quite poisonous. The bite they received last night is so big now." Qi Yuning felt the coolness of the mint cream, and felt that the mosquito bite was particularly severe this time. Lingling, who was originally making noises about going out to play, has been very well-behaved in the past few days and has not made any fuss about going out. She just sees Qi Yuning from the moment she opens her eyes to the time she closes them. Qi Yuning really enjoys Lingling. Like clinging to oneself. By August 26th, it was only half a month before Lingling's first birthday party. Qi Yuning felt very tired after deciding on the dishes. During dinner, Qi Yuning was a little groggy. Seeing Lu Ze place a piece of mutton with skin on the rice in front of her, Qi Yuning felt nauseated. Qi Yuning covered her red lips with one hand and vomited uncontrollably. She didn't even take the spittoon that the maid handed over and vomited all over the floor. Lu Zelian went over and patted Qi Yuning's back, and handed him a cup of tea for Qi Yuning to rinse his mouth with: "What's wrong? You don't seem to be looking very well these days." Qi Yuning took the tea and rinsed his mouth and said, "I've had nausea and a headache since yesterday, and I'm still very sleepy." Shen Nian put down his chopsticks and said, "Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant again?" Princess Pingrou said happily: "Lingling is going to have a younger brother and sister?"
