In the side room, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were very quiet, listening attentively to the words coming from the next side room.

Lingling, who had obediently finished eating a pigeon leg, saw that there was no turtle on the table, so she said, "Daddy, Mommy, Lingling wants to eat turtle!"

Qi Yuning had broadened her horizons today. She had never expected that these daughters of noble families would dare to speak nonsense in private. She wanted to continue listening to what shocking words they could say...

Unexpectedly, Lingling's words about wanting to eat turtle made the neighbors so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Qi Yuning coaxed Lingling, "Turtle is too nutritious. You can't eat turtle every day. Let's eat pigeon today."

Lu Ze picked up a piece of green vegetable and gave it to Lingling, saying, "Lingling, you should eat more vegetables too."

"Lingling, don't eat vegetables. They are so disgusting." Lingling said, "Uncle also said that vegetables are the most disgusting thing in the world!"

Qi Yuning said: "Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. You have to eat green vegetables to grow up quickly. Look, it's been almost half a year, and you haven't grown at all."

Lingling's weight may change, but her height remains the same.

Perhaps, just as the Taoist priest she met in North City said, Lingling does not belong here, so she will never grow up here and will always be so small.

Lichun pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Princess, Miss Lu, Miss Wang, Miss Zheng, Miss Qin, and Miss Lin want to see you."

Qi Yuning said: "Let them in."

Lu Ze didn't expect that his second sister Lu Baohua was also among them. He didn't hear her voice just now.

Seeing Lu Ze was also there, Zheng Hao, the leader, bowed and said, "Greetings to Princess Qi and Prince Lu. I was talking nonsense just now. I was wrong. I was just talking nonsense in front of my good friends. I'm not saying that it's a good thing that General Qi and General Liu are gone. I believe that General Liu and General Qi will be good parents-in-law... I..."

Zheng Hao was so scared that he almost cried.

Wang Zhiyu also said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Princess, I didn't dissuade them. In fact, we have no ill intentions."

Qi Yuning saw the five girls who looked so scared that they were about to cry, and said, "This princess will not care about this matter, nor will she spread it. But walls have ears. You are all girls from well-known families. You must not talk nonsense like this in the future."

"Yes!" Several girls responded in succession.

"Second aunt!" Lingling walked up to Lu Baohua and shouted, then looked at Wang Zhiyu and shouted, "Aunt Lin."

Wang Zhiyu's face turned red when Lingling called out to her, and even her earlobes were stained with red.

Qi Yuning even went forward to hug Lingling and covered her mouth. "It's just a child crying. Miss Wang, don't mind it. Lin Jiang is a good husband. You are blessed."

Wang Zhiyu recalled that she had just speculated about Lin Jiang. Qi Yuning must have heard it. She blushed and bowed, saying, "Princess, Prince, we will take our leave first."

The five girls left Qingshan Tower one after another, not even eating the dishes that had not yet been served.

Qi Yuning looked at their fleeing backs and smiled faintly, "They ran away quickly."

Lu Ze just smiled when he heard Qi Yuning's words, "Lingling, it's not nice to yell at people randomly."

Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Lingling, from now on, call people what your parents taught you to call them. You can't call Aunt Lin Aunt Lin yet."

"Why?" Lingling asked puzzled.

Qi Yuning said: "Because she is not yet the aunt of the Lin family, but it will be soon. Their wedding date is also approaching, right?"

Lu Ze nodded and said, "Yes, a few days earlier than the prince's wedding date."

Qi Yuning asked, "When is the prince's wedding date?"

"March 28th." Lu Ze said, "Lin Jiang's wedding is on March 24th. There are many auspicious days during those days. If I ask for a marriage on my birthday, we can also set the wedding date on those days."

Qi Yuning said: "We haven't decided on the wedding yet, we'll talk about the wedding date later."

…

In the Song family.

Song Heqing was not familiar with Qin Yuli before, and thought that Qin Yuli would leave after meal, but unexpectedly she stayed in the Song family.

In the afternoon, perhaps out of consideration for the Song family's lunch break, fewer people came to the Song family to congratulate them.

Lu Baozhu was not as enthusiastic as Qin Yuli. She and Song Heqing were not familiar with each other in the past, and she didn't want to stay with Qin Yuli for a long time.

Lu Baozhu left Song Heqing's room, but then she thought, Song Heqing is Qi Yuning's good sister, what if she bullies Lily?

When Lu Baozhu was about to go back, she heard Qin Yuli's words coming from inside. She hid at the door and eavesdropped, threatening the maid beside her with her eyes to keep quiet.

"Miss Song, I am not much older than you, so I should just call you He Qing, okay?"

Song Heqing said, "Miss Qin, please do as you please."

"He Qing, I really feel sorry for you. You are the eldest daughter of the Song family, but you have been bullied by your stepmother all these years. Qi Yuning is your sister. If she had helped you a little, you wouldn't have been treated so harshly by your stepmother, but she..."

Song Heqing looked at Qin Yuli and said, "The princess has helped me a lot, but sometimes she can't help with household chores.

Qin Yuli continued: "Do you know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose a Crown Princess at the age of 23?"

Song Heqing nodded shyly and said, "I don't know."

Qin Yuli said slowly: "The prince has actually wanted to marry Princess Qi for a long time. Since he was just 20 years old, he has been keeping the candidate for the crown princess empty, just for Qi Yuning."

Song Heqing looked at Qin Yuli in disbelief, "How could it be?"

Qin Yuli said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to marry Qi Yuning, but he is deeply in love with Qi Yuning. He just can't marry Qi Yuning for some reasons. I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen you as the Crown Princess now, and you are just taking advantage of Qi Yuning."

Song Heqing clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Miss Qin, it's getting late. You can leave now."

Qin Yuli said: "When you enter the East Palace, you will know that the one His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really likes is Qi Yuning."

Song Heqing looked at Qin Yuli and said, "Even if His Royal Highness likes Yuning, so what? As long as I like His Royal Highness, that's enough."

Qin Yuli clapped her hands and said, "As expected of the Crown Princess, you are so generous, but aren't you afraid that you are just a plank road for Qi Yuning and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to secretly make a move?

Do you really think Qi Yuning would abandon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? She just has her own reasons for not being able to be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The reason why Qi Yuning agreed to marry Lu Yun before was because Lu Yun was the nephew of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After marrying Lu Yun, she could still meet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private.

Now that you are chosen as the Crown Princess, Qi Yuning wants to use her relationship with you to pretend to visit you in the palace, but in fact she is having a private meeting with the Crown Prince. Do you think Lingling is really Lu Ze's child?"

Qin Yuli took a sip of tea and said, "Lu Ze is the Crown Prince's biological nephew. Nephews look like uncles, daughters look like fathers, and cousins ​​are also possible! Lingling is actually the Crown Prince's daughter! She is Lu Ze's cousin!

They let you be the Crown Princess just to cover up Qi Yuning and the Crown Prince's secret plan. If I were you, I would never let Qi Yuning off..."

When Lu Baozhu heard this outside, she was so surprised that her jaw dropped. Isn't Qin Yuli really good at making up stories?

If it weren't for the deep relationship between Lingling and her aunt and niece, she would almost believe that Lingling was the daughter of her uncle, the prince.

Song Heqing sneered, "Miss Qin, I respect you as a member of Queen Qin's family, and I have some respect for you, but if you insist on sowing discord between me and Yuning, I don't have to show you mercy. Yuning and I have been sisters for almost ten years, and you can't sow discord with us!"

Song Heqing looked at Qin Yuli and continued, "I am not a simple and kind person like Princess Baozhu, who would fall into your trap and be used as a pawn by you.

You don't have any real good sisters. You only regard your good sister, Princess Baozhu, as a borrowed knife to kill someone, using her to deal with Yuning, so naturally you don't know that real good sisters will always believe in each other, and will never hurt or use her.

I have been friends with Yuning for ten years and have known him since childhood. I don’t need to listen to others’ opinions about what kind of person Yuning is. I know him better than anyone else.”

Qin Yuli looked very unhappy, but she did not forget to sow discord: "Did you know that she had a daughter? Qi Yuning kept the fact that she had a daughter from you, which shows that your sisterhood is just like this! Can you still trust Qi Yuning so much?"
