As the wedding approached, her fiancé, Lu Yun, preferred to shave his head and become a monk rather than marry Qi Yuning.
Princess Qi instantly became the laughingstock of Shengjing.
T...
It was very hot in the afternoon of Dragon Boat Festival.
Especially after Qi Yuning became pregnant, she was even more afraid of heat, so Lingling was undoubtedly the little stove.
Seeing Qi Yuning sweating in the afternoon, Lu Ze ordered the servant to bring ice cubes and used a folding fan to fan Qi Yuning with cool air.
Qi Yuning was lying on a small couch covered with bamboo mats, fanning herself with a round fan. "I have never felt this hot in previous years. This year is even hotter. It's already this hot during the Dragon Boat Festival. I don't know how I will survive the dog days of summer."
Lu Ze said, "There are plenty of ice cubes in the mansion. If it's really hot, just get some more ice cubes to cool down."
Qi Yuning lay on the bamboo mat, and gradually fell asleep as Lu Ze fanned her with cool breeze. She felt a warmth in her abdomen, and then she encountered a fog.
Through the mist, she saw the princess's mansion and saw herself lying under a green tree in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air. There was no Lu Ze fanning her, but Lichun.
"Princess, it's already five months. You should make a decision as soon as possible whether you want to have this child or not. If you delay any further, I'm afraid..."
Qi Yuning was filled with shock and annoyance when she heard Lichun's words. What nonsense was Lichun talking about? How could she not want Lingling?
Qi Yuning saw "herself" lying on the chaise longue slowly opening his eyes.
"Tell someone to make abortion pills. We're getting divorced anyway, and keeping the child would be irresponsible to the child."
Qi Yuning was in the fog, and when she saw Lichun ordering the maid to boil abortion medicine, she tried to stop her. But no matter what she said, Lichun could not hear her.
Qi Yuning listened to the two maids who were boiling abortion medicine and said, "It's already five months. How much damage will abortion do to the princess's body!"
The little maid said, "Back then, it was the princess who forced herself to marry our prince, and she even separated the prince and his fiancée. At that time, the Qi family was powerful and influential, and His Majesty protected the Qi family. Now our prince is the regent, second only to the emperor, so how could he have room for Princess Qi?"
"That's right. I heard that Prince Qi has been seriously ill recently, and the Qi family army is leaderless. I'm afraid that Princess Qi won't be able to run rampant for a few more days!"
"Princess Qi is still asking for a divorce. It's just right for her to get a divorce. I heard that Empress Dowager Zhou's family wants to marry her niece to our prince! Princess Qi can just give up her position!"
Qi Yuning saw the two maids boil the medicine and then handed it to Lichun, who lingered at the door for a while.
Seeing Shuangjiang coming, he asked, "Sister Shuangjiang, why are you here?"
Shuangjiang looked at the medicine in Lichun's hand and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"Abortion pills. The princess has already asked the prince for a divorce. She shouldn't keep the child anymore."
Shuangjiang said, "Why are you following the princess' lead in making trouble? The baby is already over five months old, how can you still abort it?"
Before Shuangjiang could pour out the abortion pills, Qi Yuning opened the door and took the abortion pills from Shuangjiang.
When Qi Yuning saw the black medicine juice and was about to drink it with a frown on his face, Shuangjiang knelt on the ground and said:
"Princess, Princess, even if you don't think about your own body, you should think about the Qi family. Now Prince Qi is like a walking corpse, and the Qi family only has you and the child in your belly. Even if you want to divorce Master Lu, the child is innocent and he is still the blood of the Qi family!"
Qi Yuning's eyes shone as she said, "If I abort him, I may still be able to get pregnant with the Qi family's bloodline."
Shuangjiang said repeatedly: "Princess, abortion pills are extremely harmful. If you take abortion pills, what if you can't get pregnant again? It's been five months, I hope you will think twice!"
Qi Yuning clenched the medicine bowl in her hand. The smell of medicine continued to enter her nostrils. She only felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen.
When she put the medicine bowl to her lips, she saw Lu Ze coming from the door, walking up to Qi Yuning, snatching the medicine bowl from her hand and throwing it on the ground.
The black medicine splashed all over Qi Yuning's white skirt.
Lu Ze's red eyes looked at Qi Yuning fiercely and said, "Don't you want a divorce? Okay, I promise you!"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze indifferently and said, "Then please ask the Regent to write the divorce agreement immediately!"
Lu Ze said coldly, "But you can't abort this child. This child must take my surname Lu. If you want this child, you can keep it after it is born. If you don't want to keep it, give it to me. I can write a divorce agreement first, but I can only give it to you after you give birth to the child safely."
Qi Yuning ordered the maid to get paper and pen and said, "Okay, write the divorce agreement first."
Lu Ze clenched his hands, took a pen and wrote a divorce letter on the paper, signed his name, and after showing it to Qi Yuning, he said: "I will give you this divorce letter when you give birth to the child."
Qi Yuning agreed: "Okay."
…
"Yu Ning, Yu Ning!"
Qi Yuning heard Lu Ze's voice and slowly woke up. After opening her eyes, she raised her hand and slapped Lu Ze.
"Lu Ze, how can you write me a divorce letter?"
Lu Ze was a little dazed by Qi Yuning's slap, but because she was pregnant, he didn't bother with her.
He just held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "You just had a nightmare, and I woke you up, and you slapped me. Can you change your temper of slapping people at every turn?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze in front of her and said angrily, "Now you dislike my bad temper? You even wrote a divorce letter..."
It took Qi Yuning a while to react. It was just a dream, but that dream was so real.
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and asked, "When did I write a divorce letter?"
Qi Yuning was quite confident, "In a dream!"
Lu Ze chuckled helplessly, hugged Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "Lu Ze in the dream, can you blame me for what you did? Isn't this an injustice that will last forever?"
Qi Yuning said: "It was a dream but it didn't seem like a dream. It was too real."
Lu Ze said, "Nightmares are all fake. It's almost evening now. How about I take you to Xingyue Lake to row a boat and enjoy the lake breeze?"
Qi Yuning asked: "Why did you write me a divorce letter in my dream?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "If I write you a divorce letter, it must be because you want me to write it. I will never take the initiative to write you a divorce letter."
Qi Yuning thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case in the dream: "How do you know?"
Lu Ze: "...Since it was you in the dream who asked me in the dream to write the divorce letter, why did you hit me again?"
Qi Yuning said: "You must have done something unforgivable that made me want to divorce you. This is all your fault!"
Lu Ze responded to Qi Yuning's unreasonable behavior and said, "Okay, it's just a nightmare. Don't think about it. Get washed and go to Xingyue Lake to play for a while."
Qi Yuning let her maid dress her up. She looked at Lichun behind her. She knew her maid. Lichun had been by her side since she was five years old. Lichun came to remind her to have an abortion and made abortion medicine for her. It could only be that Lu Ze in the dream had done something unforgivable!
Looking at herself in the mirror wearing the pearl flower, Qi Yuning gradually came out of the nightmare and went to Lu Baozhu's courtyard with Lu Ze.
By the lake, Qi Yuning saw Lu Baozhu practicing calligraphy by the lake, "I didn't expect that your handwriting has become so beautiful after just a few months of not seeing you."
Lu Ze also looked at Lu Baozhu with new eyes: "If you had practiced calligraphy earlier, maybe you would have been married by now."
Lu Baozhu said: "I am not practicing calligraphy for the sake of Chen, I just don't want to be inferior to Lingling's calligraphy in the future."
