As the sky gradually darkened, Qi Yuning saw that Lu Ze had no intention of leaving the room and said, "You should go to the study."

Lu Ze bent over the desk and scribbled a piece of paper. "A confession, I still need a few hundred words."

Qi Yuning watched Lu Ze write. "You actually like Guan Zhiyi, and you're worried about her being wronged and becoming a concubine. You worry so much about her. But I snatched you away from you. Do you hate me terribly? But I can tell you, your hatred for me isn't even one tenth of the hatred I have for your Lu family."

Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning indifferently without saying anything, but in his heart he remembered what Lu Baozhu had said to him this afternoon.

Guan Zhiyi had become famous by stepping on Qi Yuning's reputation a long time ago, so it was natural for Qi Yuning to hate her.

Lu Ze had never had any feelings for Guan Zhiyi, but now, in order to calm Qi Yuning down, he let her think whatever she wanted.

After all, he is not like Qi Yuning, who is heading towards peace and separation. Since he married Qi Yuning, he hopes to grow old with Qi Yuning.

When Lu Ze finished writing the confession, Qi Yuning had already fallen asleep leaning against the bed step. Lu Ze walked up to Qi Yuning and looked down at her. Don't say that Qi Yuning looked so obedient and gentle when she was sleeping.

When Lu Ze was about to pick up Qi Yuning and let her lie down, Qi Yuning opened her eyes and glared at Lu Ze and said, "Don't even think about touching me. Go sleep in the study."

"Um."

Lu Ze covered Qi Yuning with a blanket and went to the study.

Time flies, and Qi Yuning's daily life in the princess's mansion is all about Qi Lu Ze and Qi Lu Baozhu.

Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu were quite nice to her, and Qi Yuning showed mercy and didn't get angry with them.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Lu Ze came home for meals less and less often. Qi Yuning then realized that the Dali Temple Minister was about to abdicate, and Lu Ze wanted to be promoted, so he had to work hard.

Without the pleasure of angering Lu Ze, Qi Yuning could only look at the culprit Lu Yun. The weather was getting colder, and she wanted to see how Lu Yun, the little prince who lived in luxury, could survive in the temple.

Just after returning from Xianglin Temple, Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze returning to his room.

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and asked, "Why are you in my room?"

Lu Ze coughed and said, "The study is too cold. It's almost the New Year, and the Dali Temple is busy with official business. I can't catch a cold."

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and asked, "Is the Princess's Mansion so poor that it doesn't even have enough money to buy charcoal?"

Lu Ze said, "The study windows are too drafty, it's not a place to live."

Qi Yuning said, "Isn't the little bald donkey in the temple? Go sleep in his courtyard."

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning deeply and said, "Sleeping in another courtyard after marriage, Princess Qi is not afraid of losing her reputation, and I am afraid of losing my reputation too."

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Never mind. Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you half of my bed."

Qi Yuning has been married into the Lu family for more than three months. Although she had the intention of making the Lu family miserable from the beginning, she no longer wants to divorce. Although she and Lu Ze do not have a loving relationship as husband and wife, Lu Ze has a bright future after all, and there are few men in Shengjing who can compare to him.

What’s more important is that every time she saw Qin Yuli these times, the look in her eyes that seemed to want to kill her really pleased Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning's hands and feet became cold as soon as winter came, and even a hot water bottle was of little use, so she just used Lu Ze as a hot water bottle.

When Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning putting her foot against his calf, he felt a chill at first, and then an indescribable feeling.

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning beside him and said, "Do you want a wedding night?"

Qi Yuning spat at Lu Ze: "You must be daydreaming!"

Lu Ze laughed and said, "It's night time now."

Qi Yuning was quite far away from Lu Ze, lying on her side with her heart beating very fast. If they really wanted to continue living together, she would have to spend her wedding night with Lu Ze.

This year, the morning holiday starts on New Year’s Eve and lasts until the 18th day of the first lunar month.

Qi Yuning received an urgent letter from Beicheng, saying that his brother's concubine had died, leaving two lives lost. His brother was heartbroken. Qi Yuning sighed after receiving the letter.

She wanted to rush to North City, but North City was too far away.

Lu Baozhu found that Qi Yuning didn't make her angry these days. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Princess Pingrou was very partial to Qi Yuning and let her choose the materials given by the palace first. Lu Baozhu thought that Qi Yuning would come to show off in front of her.

But unexpectedly, Qi Yuning was not happy, but looked worried. So he asked Lu Ze, "Did you make Qi Yuning unhappy?"

After asking around, Lu Ze found out that something happened in Beicheng.

At night, Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning, "Do you want to go to North City?"

Qi Yuning turned around and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Yeah."

Lu Ze said, "I can take you to North City during my vacation, but after we come back from North City, we have to be a real couple and live a good life."

Qi Yuning frowned slightly and didn't agree. Lu Ze said, "Get ready. I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

After rushing to North City, Qi Yuning saw the extremely depressed Qi Yuanan and felt distressed. When he learned that the girl A Ping had died, Qi Yuning sighed even more.

Qi Yuning took good care of Qi Yuan for two days. When she heard Qi Yuan said he wanted to have a ghost marriage with A Ping, she could only help arrange the ghost marriage and A Ping's funeral. Only when she saw that Qi Yuan could eat again did she leave with peace of mind.

It was already two months later when they returned to Shengjing City. Lu Ze missed the promotion at the Dali Temple because he accompanied her to the North City.

The Dali Temple Minister is Qin Yuli's uncle.

Qi Yuning was naturally filled with guilt. As for Lu Ze's proposal to become a real couple, Qi Yuning thought that there was nothing she could refuse.
