In the Ganlu Palace.
When Lu Ze and Qi Yuning arrived at Ganlu Palace, Lingling and Queen Qin were having a great time.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Seeing the hem of Lu Ze's official robe soaked, Empress Qin asked, "Did your grandfather smash the teacup? You've always been a steady and sensible child. How could you do something so absurd?"
Lu Ze pretended to feel guilty and lowered his head, saying, "I know I was wrong."
Queen Qin looked at Lingling and said, "When you and Lingling were your age, you loved to cling to me and play with your uncle. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I'm getting old too. I never know when I'll be gone."
Lu Ze said, "Grandma, if she doesn't age, she will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
When Qi Yuning heard the words "live a long life", she looked at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze met Qi Yuning's gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Queen Qin chuckled softly and said, "Everyone must accept aging. I hope your uncle will marry a crown princess soon and have a grandson as adorable and well-behaved as Lingling. That way, I can die without regrets."
Queen Qin patted Lingling's head and said to Lu Ze, "You and your uncle are very close. You should persuade him to find a Crown Princess as soon as possible and expand the Eastern Palace."
Lu Ze bowed and said, "Yes."
Qi Yuning stepped forward and picked up Lingling, saying, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Lingling and I won't disturb you and will leave the palace first."
Lingling raised her little head and said, "Lingling, don't leave the palace. Lingling wants to play with little uncle. Lingling didn't even see little uncle when she entered the palace today!"
Qi Yuning didn't know who the little uncle Lingling was talking about, so she hugged her and said, "Lingling, don't you want a pony? Mommy will take you to pick a pony."
"Okay!" Lingling smiled sweetly.
Queen Qin chuckled and said, "Ningning, when you have time in the future, please bring Xiao Ling'er to the palace to visit me more often. I'm getting old and always want to have more children around me."
"yes!"
Qi Yuning nodded in acceptance of the order.
After leaving Ganlu Palace, Lu Ze took Lingling from Qi Yuning and carried her out of the palace.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze at the palace gate, "Prince Lu, please return to the Dali Temple. I'm taking Lingling back to the palace."
Lu Ze said, "It's time for dinner now, why don't we have dinner together?"
Qi Yuning was about to refuse, but little Lingling touched her belly and said, "Mommy, Lingling is so hungry. Let's have dinner with Daddy, okay?"
Qi Yuning gave his daughter face and nodded, "Okay."
Lu Ze arrived at the restaurant and asked for a good private room.
After ordering the dishes, Lu Ze instructed the maids and guards around Qi Yuning, "Wait outside the room."
Jingzhe and Lichun looked at Qi Yuning, and Qi Yuning nodded at them, "You guys stay outside and guard."
"Yes, Princess."
After the maid closed the door, Lu Ze asked Qi Yuning, "What did you mean by that look you gave me in Ganlu Palace just now?"
Qi Yuning frowned slightly and said, "Master Lu, please don't be so self-indulgent. Who is looking at you?"
Lu Ze had no doubt that Qi Yuning disliked him, so how could he be so self-indulgent? He said helplessly, "Princess Qi misunderstood. I was talking about the way Princess Qi looked at me when I said that the Queen would live a hundred years."
Qi Yuning pointed at Lingling and said, "Lingling doesn't know His Majesty or the Queen."
Lu Ze shuddered. If Lingling didn't recognize His Majesty and the Empress, did it mean that she would no longer have grandparents in six years?
Lingling said from the side: "Lingling knows His Majesty, but the white-bearded ancestor just now is not the same person as the His Majesty Lingling knows."
Lingling didn't know Emperor Shiyuan, so the Majesty six years later would naturally be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Lu Ze rubbed Lingling's head and said, "Lingling, don't say that anymore. The only Majesty is the Whitebeard Ancestor. No one else is the Majesty."
Lingling said, "Oh, since my uncle doesn't allow me to call him Your Majesty like everyone else, from now on I won't call my uncle Your Majesty anymore. I will call my White Beard Grandpa Your Majesty."
Qi Yuning's hand shook when she poured tea, and a lot of tea spilled onto the table. She looked at Lu Ze, and Lu Ze also looked at her.
Their eyes met. Both of them were intelligent people. From Lingling's few words, they could guess the future changes in the imperial power.
Although the prince is only three years older than Lu Ze, he is also Lu Ze's biological uncle. There is no way Lingling would call the prince "uncle".
So it wasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ascended the throne six years later?
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Lingling's uncle, except for that bald donkey in Xianglin Temple..."
Lu Ze said helplessly, "Princess, please be careful with your words in front of Lingling. If Lu Yun hadn't become a monk, would you really marry him tomorrow?"
Qi Yuning thought about it. If Lu Yun had not become a monk, and the wedding date was tomorrow, knowing that Lingling was Lu Ze's daughter, could she really continue to marry Lu Yun?
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Ze and said, "That bald donkey betrayed me when he became a monk. Why can't I call Lu Yun a bald donkey?"
Seeing the annoyance in Qi Yuning's eyes, Lu Ze did not defend his bald brother. If he really annoyed Qi Yuning, she might not even let him look at Lingling.
Lu Ze stopped talking about Lu Yun, the bald donkey, and asked Xiao Lingling, "Lingling, do you know how old your uncle is?"
Lingling said, "After the New Year, little uncle will be ten years old!"
Xiao Lingling used her left hand to count the fingers of her right hand. After counting for a long time, she found that there were only five fingers on her right hand, which was less than ten.
Seeing this, Qi Yuning smiled and gave his hand to Lingling, asking Lingling to continue counting her fingers, while his other hand touched Lingling's cute little face.
