When the imperial edict appointing the Song family's daughter as the Crown Princess was issued, everyone in Shengjing was shocked.

Just as Lu Ze said, the Song family was packed with people today. It was almost February, and there were still people coming to give New Year gifts.

Mrs. Song was still stunned. She had thought that her stepdaughter was marrying up to the throne by marrying Prince Qi, but she had never expected that she would become the Crown Princess.

Thinking that she almost had to marry her stepdaughter to the Guan family, she wanted to slap herself twice. Now she just hoped that Song Heqing would not make a fuss.

Although Qi Yuning didn't think this was something worth congratulating, she felt that her good sister had finally gotten what she wanted. After learning that the imperial edict had been issued, she came to the Song family with Lingling in her arms to congratulate them.

Song Heqing was also surprised by this sudden decree. She didn't know how many "good sisters" came to congratulate her, and she felt a little at a loss.

It was not until she heard that her true good sister Qi Yuning was coming that Song Heqing went out of the hospital to greet her.

Qi Yuning smiled softly when she saw Song Heqing coming out, bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss Song."

Song Heqing said shyly, "Yuning, please don't embarrass me."

When Lingling in Qi Yuning's arms saw Song Heqing, she hid on Qi Yuning's shoulder in fear. As soon as she turned around, she saw Lu Baozhu coming and shouted happily, "Auntie!"

Lingling's call of "Aunt" attracted the attention of all the daughters from the Song family who came to congratulate her.

Lu Baozhu walked up to Qi Yuning and picked up Lingling.

Lu Baozhu looked Song Heqing up and down and said, "I heard I had an aunt, so I came to see her. She's not bad looking, but it's a pity that she has such a bad sister!"

"Lu Baozhu!" Qi Yuning glared at Lu Baozhu and said, "Stop messing around."

Lu Baozhu snorted, "You have no right to control me!"

Qi Yuning leaned close to Lu Baozhu's ear and whispered, "I will be your sister-in-law sooner or later. An elder brother is like a father and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Why can't I control you?"

Lu Baozhu was startled, "..."

"Congratulations, Miss Song."

A female voice came.

Everyone looked and saw Qin Yuli coming in wearing plain clothes.

Qin Yuli was still wearing heavy mourning clothes for her deceased mother and wore no jewelry. She was dressed in a plain white dress with just a few touches of light blue.

Qin Yuli glanced at Qi Yuning, and the hatred in her eyes was not concealed at all.

Song Heqing used to be good friends with Qi Yuning, but was not familiar with Qin Yuli and Lu Baozhu. He did not expect that Qin Yuli would come today. After all, she was the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so Song Heqing did not dare to neglect her.

"Miss Qin, Princess Lu, please come in and have a cup of tea."

Lu Baozhu held Lingling and wanted to go in with Qin Yuli.

Qi Yuning stopped Lu Baozhu and said, "Give Lingling to me."

Lu Baozhu looked at Lingling in her arms and said, "Don't be so stingy. I'm Lingling's aunt. What's wrong with holding Lingling for a while?"

Qi Yuning walked up to Lu Baozhu's ear and said, "I'm afraid Qin Yuli will harm Lingling."

Lu Baozhu said heartlessly, "I know Lili framed you before, but she was also imprisoned and lost her mother because of it. She regrets it now. Lili is pitiful enough to have lost her mother. This time, she only came here because she heard that the prince's cousin had arranged the marriage. Don't judge others by your own mean-spirited mind!"

Qi Yuning still took Lingling back from Lu Baozhu. Lu Baozhu was really stupid sometimes!

Lu Baozhu looked at Lingling pitifully, "Lingling, your mother is not kind. She wants to separate us."

Lingling snuggled up to Qi Yuning's head and said, "Mom's kiss is the best. There's nothing wrong with it."

Qi Yuning smiled faintly when she heard this. Her daughter was the most well-behaved.

Lu Baozhu snorted softly and went to the room with Qin Yuli to rest and drink tea.

Song Heqing said to Qi Yuning: "Yuning..."

Qi Yuning knew how difficult it was for Song Heqing, and chuckled, "I've come to congratulate you and will be leaving soon. You're busy today, so I won't bother you. I'll definitely give you a generous dowry before you get married."

Song Heqing smiled and said, "Then take care."

Qi Yuning waved goodbye to Lingling and Song Heqing in her arms, "Say goodbye to Aunt Song."

Lingling waved and said, "Goodbye, auntie."

Song Heqing chuckled.

After Qi Yuning and Lingling left the Song Mansion, they did not return home, but went to the Dali Temple to find Lu Ze.

It was lunchtime, and Lu Ze wanted to just have a bite of the food that Madam He brought to He Siqing, but he didn't expect Qi Yuning to come with Lingling in her arms.

When He Siqing saw Qi Yuning, he bowed repeatedly and said, "Princess Qi."

"He Siqing." Qi Yuning nodded in return, "Lingling, call Grandfather He."

Lingling called out sweetly, "Hey, Grandpa."

He Siqing is also over sixty years old. His great-grandson is one year younger than Lingling, just the right age to talk. Seeing Lingling so cute, he was delighted. "She really looks like Lu Ze."

Lu Ze walked up to Qi Yuning and Lingling and said, "I thought you would have dinner at the Song Mansion."

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "There are too many people at the Song Mansion today, so we won't join in the fun."

When Lingling saw Lu Ze, she went into his arms. Lu Ze held Lingling in his arms and asked Qi Yuning, "Do you want to have dinner at Qingshan Tower?"

Qi Yuning said: "Yeah."

Lu Ze carried Lingling to Qingshan Tower and asked for a superior private room. Lu Ze then ordered honey-roasted pigeon for Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "When Her Highness the Princess gave birth to you, did she give all her brain to you and not give any to Lu Baozhu and Lu Yun?"

Lu Ze knew that Qi Yuning disliked Lu Yun, but even though he and Lu Baozhu had been arguing for years, he had never seen Qi Yuning speak to Lu Baozhu so angrily. "What's wrong?"
