The cold wind was biting in the mountains. Lu Ze waited for Qi Yuning in his arms to cry for a while, lowered his head and comforted softly: "It's cold outside, let's go inside first."
Qi Yuning raised his eyes, the corners of his phoenix eyes were slightly red and said: "Aunt Ren told me that my parents did not just die at the hands of Bei Mo. The reason why my parents died was because of the Dasheng courtiers and Bei Mo. The thieves are in cahoots."
Lu Ze said: "If this matter is true, Your Majesty will never let those thieves go!"
"What if the thief is your uncle?" Qi Yuning said, "Uncle Huo has been in the Prince of Shu's Mansion for many years just to investigate the collusion between the Prince of Shu and Bei Mo."
Lu Zedao: "If it is really my uncle, Your Majesty will never protect his own son. Princess, you should believe Your Majesty. The Dasheng Dynasty will never let a loyal minister die in vain. I will investigate this matter secretly. I'm afraid." After all, it has been 14 years..."
Qi Yuning said with a nasal voice: "Yeah."
Lu Ze reached out and wiped the tears from Qi Yuning's eyes, "Fortunately, you didn't put on makeup today, otherwise you would have stained your makeup from crying."
Qi Yuning turned around and looked at Sheng Jing who had a panoramic view, "I never like to cry because I don't have parents. Ever since my brother left me and went to Beicheng, I rarely cry. For me, without parents , Tears are the most useless thing in this world."
"Sometimes when Lingling cries, I compromise with her and respond to her requests. This is not because I am doting on her, but because I think that if my parents were still here, I could also..."
Seeing the tears in the corners of Qi Yuning's eyes, Lu Ze pulled her into his arms and said, "Lingling is your daughter, there is nothing wrong with doting on her."
Qi Yuning raised his eyes, looked at Lu Ze and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that my parents were killed by Dasheng people... Originally, I would also be a child with parents, instead of just four years old. I will never see my parents again.”
Lu Ze felt sour in his heart, "I will definitely find the real culprit and avenge General Qi and General Liu."
"Mom, dear, what's wrong with you?"
Lingling walked to Qi Yuning, raised her eyes and asked, "Are you crying, mother? Are your feet hurting again? Can Lingling rub your mother's feet?"
Qi Yuning came out of Lu Ze's arms, squatted down and picked up Lingling, and kissed Lingling's little face, "I just miss my mother."
Lingling asked: "Then go and see your mother's mother. Lingling also wants to see your mother's mother."
Qi Yuning looked up at the cloudless blue sky, pointed to the sky and said, "Mother, my mother is in the sky and will never be seen again."
Lingling scratched her little head and said to Lu Ze, "Then let dad give you his mother."
Qi Yuning smiled. In fact, when she was a child, she had envied Lu Baozhu more than once for having a mother who loved her very much. Princess Pingrou was a very good mother.
Lu Ze walked up to Lingling and rubbed her bun.
In the afternoon, Qi Yuning watched the Qi family's army training. Many of these five thousand troops were the children of his father's subordinates.
In the Battle of the Northern Desert 14 years ago, not only Qi Yuning became an orphan, but there were also many orphans and widowers among the descendants of the Qi family army.
After these orphans and widowed mothers received pension money, many of them were bullied by their clan members and villages.
Ren Yao learned that His Majesty pitied Qi Yuan and Qi Yuning's two children and allowed Prince Qi's Mansion to raise private soldiers in Shengjing City, so he incorporated them into the ranks of Prince Qi's Mansion soldiers, so that they could also have food and clothing.
Among them, there were about two hundred female soldiers who were either orphans or the widows of Qi Jiajun.
Seeing these heroic female soldiers, and remembering that that battle was a plot, Qi Yuning clenched his hands, and his nails dug into his flesh.
After Lu Ze saw this, he stepped forward and held Qi Yuning's hand, separated her nails and said, "Princess."
Qi Yuning began to feel the pain, "How are the soldiers and horses in Prince Qi's Mansion?"
Lu Ze said: "The soldiers and horses brought out by General Ren are certainly good."
Lingling pulled Qi Yuning's skirt and said, "Mom, where is Lingling's little wooden sword? Lingling wants the little wooden sword to practice with her uncle and aunt."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I didn't bring my little wooden sword. When Lingling reaches the age, how about she come to practice with her uncles and aunts?" Lingling nodded, "Then Lingling should grow up early, and Lingling can practice and protect her." Mother."
Ren Yao looked at Lingling kindly and said with a smile: "Lingling was exactly the same as the princess when she was a child. The princess was unwilling to let General Liu leave when she was a child. She also said that she would join the army when she grew up. In this way, General Liu would There’s no need to go on an expedition.”
Qi Yuning smiled helplessly. She was sick twice when she was young, so her brother didn't allow her to learn martial arts. Now, let alone join the military camp.
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "I can't join the army. Lingling has a talent for martial arts. Maybe she can become a female general like her grandmother in the future."
Lingling smiled sweetly, "Lingling likes to be a female general!"
Not long after, Qi Yuning and others were about to go down the mountain. However, the two Lu sisters decided to stay here and did not go down the mountain. They only asked Lu Ze to talk to their parents.
Lu Ze also followed the two of them. After all, the third uncle and the third aunt had long been accustomed to the two daughters going in and out of the military camp.
The mountain road is steep and the way down the mountain is getting more and more difficult.
Qi Yuning was worried that it would be inconvenient for Lingling to go down the mountain. Unexpectedly, after Lingling came down from Lu Ze's arms, she didn't need anyone to hold her. She jumped up and down so neatly that even the maids couldn't keep up. It was the secret guards who caught up with Lingling.
Qi Yuning shouted: "Lingling, slow down.
"Mom, hurry up!"
Qi Yuning said helplessly: "This child, I thought she would be scared because she can't climb mountains, but she is just like a little hozen."
Qi Yuning saw a protruding rock in front of him, holding on to one side and not daring to get down. How did Lingling jump off this huge rock? Lu Ze went down first and stretched out his hands to support Qi Yuning, "Come down."
Qi Yuning jumped down and got off the boulder. She turned around and continued to climb down.
Lu Ze said: "How to put the training place on this mountain?"
Qi Yuning did not hide anything from Lu Ze: "Five thousand soldiers are not too much, but they are not too much. Since your majesty has given us a reward from Prince Qi's palace, we should train our troops well. If we put them on the ordinary mountain, there is no guarantee that they will be attacked by others." Jealousy, when we go to the dangerous Tiger Cave Mountain, which is inaccessible, I have the final say on how to train our troops."
Lu Ze nodded.
After going down the mountain, Qi Yuning felt that his legs were no longer his own. They were so sore that he fell asleep from exhaustion after getting on the carriage.
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning's sleepy profile and coughed slightly. Lingling approached Lu Ze and said, "Dad, do you want to kiss your mother?"
Lu Ze frowned and said, "Lingling, children are not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Lingling whispered: "Mother is asleep, and she doesn't know that you are kissing her."
Lu Ze coughed lightly and said, "This is not what a gentleman would do."
Lingling said: "Then Lingling doesn't want to be a gentleman, Lingling wants to kiss his mother."
Lingling moved closer to Qi Yuning's face, hugged her and kissed her several times.
Qi Yuning woke up slightly, and her touch was covered with Lingling's saliva. She picked up Lingling and smiled helplessly and sweetly, "Lingling."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and handed over the handkerchief. When Qi Yuning was about to take it, Lu Ze did not give it to her. Instead, he put the handkerchief on Qi Yuning's face and gently Wipe the floor.
Qi Yuning looked down at the fingers that touched the side of his face from time to time. They were so white and long.
I had never noticed before that Lu Ze's hands were so beautiful.
