Qi Yuning said, "The Princess's Mansion is good, but I still want to stay in my original home for a few more days. After all, I have lived here for nearly twenty years and I miss it a little bit."

Lu Ze listened to Qi Yuning and said, "Okay, then I'll stay here for the next few days. Actually, we haven't lived here since we got married."

Seeing Lu Ze's malicious look, Qi Yuning coughed and said, "Don't mess around in my boudoir..."

Qi Yuning's subsequent words were swallowed by Lu Ze's thin lips. The two of them pressed their lips together, and the gauze curtain fell lightly.

Perhaps because he was not in the princess's mansion and did not have Princess Pingrou's spies, Lu Ze's behavior became even more absurd.

Qi Yuning was a little overwhelmed, and half-heartedly let Lu Ze act like a fool.

After two quarters of an hour, both of them were sweating profusely.

Qi Yuning lay down and looked at Lu Ze, who was smiling beside her. She said, "You are acting so absurdly even during the period of national mourning... Does the Regent know how to lead by example?"

Lu Ze said, "Grandfather won't blame us. We're newlyweds, and besides, no one will know if you don't tell anyone."

Qi Yuning chuckled, "Before we got married, I thought Prince Lu was a man who valued etiquette the most. I didn't expect... he's actually a brother of that ignorant little bald donkey!"

Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms and smiled gently.

After a good night's sleep, when Qi Yuning woke up in the morning, there was no warmth around him.

If it weren't for Lu Ze's dirty clothes lying beside her, Qi Yuning would have thought that last night's absurdity was all a dream.

Qi Yuning asked her maid to invite a doctor from the medical clinic to take her pulse and see if there was any problem with the fetus in her womb. She didn't dare to ask the imperial physician because the imperial physician beside her noticed something was wrong.

The doctor at the clinic said the fetus was very stable, and Qi Yuning finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was only the mischief he had done last night.

Princess Pingrou arrived just as the doctor from the Fuyi Clinic left.

Princess Pingrou ran into the doctor at the main gate and hurried into Chunjiang Courtyard. Seeing Qi Yuning coming out, she said repeatedly, "Are you okay? If that brat Lu Ze offends you, I will definitely teach him a lesson. Don't get angry. You're pregnant!"

Seeing Princess Pingrou's worry, Qi Yuning said, "Mother, I had a few words with him yesterday. He was just worried that it was inappropriate for me to go to the funeral alone, and I felt that his tone was a little bad. It's not a big deal. We reconciled last night. You don't have to worry."

Princess Pingrou sat down, took the tea Qi Yuning poured for her and said, "If that's the case, why don't you go home?"

Qi Yuning said, "After returning home, I miss home. Thinking about everything here with Lingling, I want to stay here for a few more days... You see..."

Princess Pingrou could understand and chuckled, saying, "The Qi Mansion and the Princess Mansion are close together. You can live in either one. As long as you two are okay, I'm glad. That way, Mother can rest assured."

Qi Yuning said: "Well, you don't have to worry, it's just a misunderstanding."

Princess Pingrou looked at Qi Yuning's belly and said, "I saw a doctor go out just now, but are you feeling unwell?"

Qi Yuning said: "It's okay, I just want to check my pulse to make me feel more at ease."

Princess Pingrou held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "To check your pulse, you still have to ask the imperial physician to come. I will go get the imperial physician for you right away. This common doctor can never compare to the imperial physician."

Qi Yuning said: "Really not necessary!"

Princess Pingrou looked at Qi Yuning worriedly, "Did something really happen? It would be more reassuring if we asked the imperial physician to take a look."

Princess Pingrou had no choice but to ask Qi Yuning to refuse, so she simply asked the nanny behind her to call the imperial physician.

The imperial physician arrived quickly and respectfully took out the pulse pillow to check Qi Yuning's pulse.

After a moment, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and said respectfully, "Princess Qi's pregnancy is very stable and the fetus is fine. However, the princess is now six months pregnant, so she must remember not to have sex."

Qi Yuning blushed and said, "Yes, I have always kept it in mind. Now during the national mourning period, I dare not do anything reckless. I will go to get the silver at the beginning of spring. Thank you, imperial physician, for coming to check my pulse."

Qi Yuning took out five hundred taels of silver to shut the imperial physician's mouth.

This imperial physician was Princess Pingrou's confidant, and when he saw Princess Pingrou nod, he accepted the gift.

After Princess Pingrou sent the imperial physician out, she asked, "What did you mean by not sharing the same bed?"

"The prince and the princess are both young, and they are newlyweds..." The imperial physician was embarrassed to say it out loud, but Princess Pingrou already knew it.

Princess Pingrou was very angry, but she didn't dare to tell Qi Yuning. After all, Qi Yuning was young and just got married, so she was always thin-skinned. She just asked someone to go to the palace to call Lu Ze back. No matter what official business Lu Ze was busy with, she ordered him to return to the princess's mansion.

When Lu Ze returned to the princess's mansion, he thought something big had happened.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he was called into the hall by Princess Pingrou. Princess Pingrou angrily said, "Kneel down!"

Lu Ze knelt down and asked, "Mom? What happened?"

"Do you miss Lingling? I warned you over and over again not to sleep with you, not to sleep with you, and you! You actually dared to sleep with me! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Lu Ze didn't expect the matter to be exposed. Even in front of his mother, he felt embarrassed and didn't dare to argue. He had to accept the punishment obediently.

Princess Pingrou said, "Kneel here for two hours and learn your lesson!"

Lu Ze replied, "Yes."

It was not until the evening that Qi Yuning heard that Lu Ze had been punished by the princess to kneel for two hours. After Lu Ze arrived at the palace, Qi Yuning carefully examined Lu Ze's knees and said, "Her Royal Highness is quite willing to do this."

Lu Ze said, "In my mother's eyes, Lingling is much more important than me."
