Qi Yuning went to the guest hall of the palace to meet Qin Feng.

Today is the Crown Prince's birthday, and everyone in the court and the country has a day off. Qin Feng is not wearing his official uniform, but only a sky-blue round-necked robe.

Qin Feng saluted Qi Yuning and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Qi Yuning said, "No need to be so polite. What brings you to the palace?"

Qin Feng lowered his eyebrows and said, "Princess, I would like to take advantage of the New Year to go to the North City to appreciate the frontier scenery of my great city. I have admired Prince Qi for a long time, but I have no previous contact with Prince Qi. I would like to ask the princess to help write a visiting card and introduce me to Prince Qi so that I can also go to the Prince Qi Mansion in the North City to pay my respects to Prince Qi.

Qi Yuning took the tea from the maid and smiled faintly, saying, "I'm afraid you don't admire my elder brother, but are in love with Miss A Ping who is by his side? Do you want me to introduce you to the North City Palace so that you can meet Miss A Ping?"

"How did the princess know that I admired Miss A Ping?" Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Did Master Lu tell you?"

Only his trusted subordinates and Lin Jiang and Lu Ze knew that he loved Miss A Ping. I think it was Lu Ze who told Princess Qi.

Qi Yuning said, "You knew Ping was in Beicheng. Wasn't it Lu Ze who told you? What a pity, you came a step too late. She was already pregnant with my nephew. Didn't Lu Ze tell you to give up?"

Qin Feng said, "Lu Ze didn't tell me about Ah Ping being in North City..."

Qi Yuning asked: "Then how did you know?"

Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Lingling saw the portrait of Miss A Ping in my study and said that it was her aunt."

The teacup in Qi Yuning's hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces on the jade floor. "Minister Qin, I'll have Lu Ze bring you the letter of recommendation you asked for tomorrow. I have something else to do right now, so I won't keep you here."

After Qi Yuning finished speaking, he hurried back to his room.

When I entered the room, I only saw Lingling, not Lu Ze.

Qi Yuning went to the side courtyard again. When she pushed the door open, she saw the mist and the broad shoulders and white back. Suddenly, she saw Lu Ze bathing without clothes. Qi Yuning turned her back to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze heard the voice and turned around to see Qi Yuning. He didn't feel embarrassed at all and asked, "Princess, what's the matter?"

Qi Yuning asked, "You didn't tell Qin Feng about A Ping?"

Lu Ze said, "I was going to tell him at the birthday party that day, but then Qin Yuli's incident happened, so it got delayed. We haven't seen him in the past two days, and I haven't had time to tell him about Ping's stay at Prince Qi's Mansion in North City."

Qi Yuning said, "Qin Feng told me that Lingling saw the portrait of A Ping in his study and called the A Ping in the portrait her aunt!"

Lu Ze was also shocked. He didn't bother to continue bathing. He quickly changed his clothes and followed Qi Yuning back to the room.

Lingling was playing cat's tuck with Jingzhe. When she saw Lu Ze and Qi Yuning coming, she stopped playing cat's tuck and asked Qi Yuning to hold her.

Qi Yuning picked up Lingling and said, "Lingling, have you seen your aunt in Uncle Qin's room?"

Lingling seemed to have forgotten what happened a few days ago. "Aunt? Lingling hasn't seen Aunt for a long time. Lingling wants to play with Aunt. Aunt is so gentle!"

Qi Yuning smiled gently: "Lingling still knows how to be gentle? Isn't mother gentle?"

Lingling said: "Mother is also gentle, but aunt is even more gentle."

Lu Ze still remembered the portrait he had drawn before, so he went to the desk and drew Ah Ping's portrait again. While Qi Yuning and Lingling were talking, he finished it in just two quarters of an hour.

Lu Ze brought the portrait to Lingling and asked, "Lingling, who is this?"

Lingling was playing with the Huarong Dao in Qi Yuning's arms. When she heard Lu Ze's question, she looked up and said, "Aunt! Dad, how come you don't even recognize me?"

Qi Yuning held Lingling and looked at Lu Ze. Lu Ze also looked at Qi Yuning. Both of them had extremely shocked eyes!

Qi Yuning asked again, "Lingling, are you sure this is your aunt?"

Lingling smiled and said, "It's my aunt! Lingling likes my aunt. Lingling hasn't seen my aunt for a long time!"

"Mom, let's go to Beicheng to visit my aunt and cousin, okay? Aunt Lichun said that the New Year will be coming soon, so let's go to Beicheng to celebrate the New Year, okay? Uncle said that the New Year in Beicheng is fun!"

Qi Yuning asked again unwillingly: "Lingling, what do other people call aunt?"

Lingling pouted and said, "Everyone else calls me Aunt Your Highness, but Mom calls me Sister-in-law, and Dad calls me Aunt..."

Lingling scratched her head with her little hand.

Lu Ze looked at Lingling and asked, "What did Daddy call your aunt?"

Lingling tilted her head and chuckled, "Daddy, have you forgotten what you should call your aunt? Daddy and aunt both call her Auntie!"

Lu Ze pointed at the portrait on the rice paper and asked, "Lingling, is she Daddy and Auntie's aunt?"

Lingling nodded and said, "Daddy and Auntie just call her Auntie!"

Qi Yuning said, "Lingling, why didn't you say earlier that your aunt should be called Aunt?"

Lingling said, "Only Daddy, Auntie, and Uncle can call me Auntie. Everyone can call me Your Highness, but only Lingling can call me Auntie!"

After Lingling finished speaking, she yawned, "Daddy and Mommy, Lingling is sleepy."

Lu Ze held Lingling's shoulders and said, "Lingling, take a closer look. Is the person in the painting really your aunt?"

Lingling said, "It really is my aunt! Lingling, don't try to guess, Lingling is sleepy."

After saying this, Lingling climbed onto the bed and went to sleep.

Only Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were left, looking at each other in surprise.
