Qi Yuning and Lu Ze returned to Prince Qi's Mansion. Before they even entered the courtyard, they heard Lingling's laughter.

"Aunt Xue, Lingling knows this move now, right?"

"Yes, Lingling is a genius at swordplay!"

When Qi Yuning entered, he saw Lingling performing some moves with a small wooden sword. You have to say, she was really good at it. She didn't make the random moves she used to make, but her sword moves were sharp and powerful.

"Mother, Father!"

When Lingling saw Qi Yuning and Lu Ze returning, she put down her small wooden sword and threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms.

Qi Yuning picked up Lingling, rubbed her little face and said, "Do you miss your mother?"

"I do!" Lingling kissed Qi Yuning's cheek, "I miss mother so much."

Lingling saw Lu Ze and leaned forward to kiss him on the side of his face. She held a bowl of water very evenly and said, "Lingling misses daddy so much."

Lu Baoshuang walked up to Qi Yuning and said, "Princess Qi, Lingling is really smart. She can master sword techniques almost instantly."

Qi Yuning said, "Thank you two for playing with Lingling today."

"Lingling is so adorable, and we're so happy to have such a little apprentice!" Lu Baoxue said with a smile, "Lingling is so funny and clever. If I could have a daughter like her in the future, I'd be willing to do anything for her."

Lu Baoshuang said from the side: "You are so shameless. You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already saying you want to have a daughter."

Lu Baoxue snorted softly, "It's not impossible to give birth to a daughter as well-behaved as Lingling even if you're not married. Didn't the princess also give birth to a daughter without getting married?"

Qi Yuning repeatedly said: "Don't follow my example. You still have to get engaged, get married, and have children step by step."

Lingling is just special. Qi Yu would rather not let the two twin sisters of the Lu family really have children out of wedlock.

Lu Baoxue looked at Lu Ze unhappily, "My princess is right. My eldest brother is too irresponsible."

Lu Baoshuang nodded and said, "That's right. If he wasn't my elder brother, I would have long ago..."

Due to Lu Ze's gaze, Lu Baoshuang had to give up.

Qi Yuning saw Lu Baoshuang and Lu Baoxue helping to take care of the children all day and said, "I heard from Baozhu that you also want to be female generals and lead the troops?"

"yes!"

Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "I have more than 5,000 soldiers in Shengjing City, and General Ren's health is getting worse. I originally wanted to ask my brother to introduce me to a general from Beicheng for these 5,000 soldiers. Since you like me, how about letting you help me lead the troops? Among these 5,000 soldiers, there are also 200 women."

"Is it really possible? Aren't we too young?"

Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "These palace soldiers are only here to protect the safety of Prince Qi's Palace. They usually train on Tiger Cave Mountain behind Longhua Mountain. If you really want to go, let General Ren take care of you while he's still here."

"Thank you, Princess!"

The two sisters of the Lu family were extremely happy. "When are we going?"

Qi Yuning asked Lu Ze, "When will you take a day off?"

Lu Ze said, "It will take ten days."

Qi Yuning said to the two sisters of the Lu family, "Then we'll go there in ten days."

"Thank you, Princess!"

Qi Yuning invited the two sisters to have dinner, but they did not stay long. Instead, Lu Ze was kept by Lingling.

Tonight's dinner includes Lingling's favorite turtle. Lingling knows that Qi Yuning doesn't like it, so she asks Lu Ze to pick up the turtle for her.

Seeing this, Lu Ze said, "Lingling inherited her love for soft-shelled turtle from His Majesty. His Majesty also loves soft-shelled turtle, and my mother also likes it very much."

When Qi Yuning saw the gray turtle legs with claws, she couldn't understand what was so delicious about them.

After Lingling finished eating, she said, "My aunt also likes eating Guigui! She said she didn't have any chance to eat Guigui when she was a child. How pitiful."

Qi Yuning said, "Since your aunt is a princess, she should have been raised in wealth since she was a child. How could she not have Guigui?"

Lingling scratched her head and said, "My aunt said that herself."

…

In the North City, in Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Qi Yu'an found a letter from Lingling among the letters sent by Qi Yuning. He opened it and saw that the words inside should be written by Lu Ze. The whole letter mentioned his aunt and cousin...

Qi Yuanan looked at the letter carefully. If it weren't for the clear tone, he would have thought Lu Ze was crazy.

How could there be such a strange letter?

Where did Lingling's cousin come from? An aunt? Lingling was young, so did Lu Ze also accompany her in writing letters and fooling around?

Ah Ping brought pear soup into the study, "Your Highness has been coughing for the past two days. I made you a bowl of Sichuan Fritillary and Snow Pear Soup, which is the best for relieving coughs."

Qi Yu'an took the pear soup, took a sip and said, "This pear soup tastes similar to the one I drank in the Queen Mother's palace when I was a child."

Ah Ping said, "My cooking skills are probably far inferior to those of the cooks in the Empress's palace."

After drinking the pear soup, Qi Yuan continued to look at the letters sent by Qi Yuning. There was a letter stating that someone was borrowing his name to help the girl from the Song family. After seeing it, Qi Yuan thought about it and realized that he was indeed old enough to get married.

Look, Lingling is looking forward to having an aunt and cousin, but no matter how much Lingling wishes, she can only have a younger cousin, not a older cousin.

Ah Ping saw the letter beside Qi Yu'an, and Qi Yu'an asked Ah Ping, "Can you understand it?"

"I know a few characters, but I can't understand them. However, I think they are beautifully written, even more beautiful than the calligraphy sold in bookshops."

"Is it more beautiful than my handwriting?" Qi Yuan frowned.

Ah Ping nodded and said, "It is indeed more beautiful than the prince's handwriting. The strokes are sharp and powerful, and you can see the force behind the strokes. The power of this calligraphy is beyond the prince's reach."
