Lingling's voice was quite loud. Princess Duan looked at Lu Ze and Qi Yuning in front of her and smiled softly.
Qi Yuning blushed, and Lu Ze was also embarrassed as he said to Lingling, "Do you still remember Guigui from the palace? Do you want to sleep with Guigui?"
Lingling nodded and said, "Guigui, Lingling wants to go back to the palace."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze in surprise. If she had to sleep with that bastard, she would rather Lingling and Zhao Jie sleep together. Fortunately, their combined age was only six or seven years old.
Lingling was more interested in Guigui, but the turtles in the palace were still hibernating.
Lingling saw the little turtle with its head and limbs tucked into its shell and asked, "Daddy, is it dead?"
Lu Ze said, "No, the little turtle is asleep. When it's cold in winter, the little turtle will fall into a long sleep."
Lingling held the hibernating turtle in her hands, "Lingling, sleep with the little turtle!"
Qi Yuning shook his head and said, "No."
Lingling said, "Mom, the turtle is asleep and won't bite."
Qi Yuning said to Lingling, "Lingling, you can only choose one: sleep with the little turtle or sleep with mother!"
Lingling blinked her peach blossom eyes and said, "Lingling doesn't have to sleep with mother, she can sleep with little turtle!"
Qi Yuning felt a little sad. She thought Lingling would always choose her, but she didn't expect the little turtle to be more important than her.
Lingling insisted on accompanying the little turtle, so Qi Yuning and Lingling separated in their bedroom. Fortunately, the palace servants had prepared two bedrooms, so Qi Yuning asked Lu Ze to accompany Lingling.
Just as Qi Yuning took off her fairy cloud bun and was about to rest, Lu Ze came in from outside.
Qi Yuning asked, "Aren't you going to sleep with Lingling?"
Lu Ze chuckled helplessly and said, "Lingling is afraid that I will squash her little turtle, so she won't let me sleep with her."
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "Lingling is not afraid that the turtles will wake up and bite her. No, after she falls asleep, I still have to let Lichun take those little turtles away."
Lu Ze said, "That turtle is docile and won't bite. Besides, the temperature is so low right now that the little turtle won't be able to wake up yet."
Qi Yuning walked to the bed and sat down. Seeing Lu Ze sitting down as well, in the huge bedroom, it was unknown when the maids had all gone out.
Qi Yuning's heart was beating like a drum. In the past, she had Lingling by her side, so she wasn't afraid of Lu Ze doing anything to her in front of Lingling...
But today, without Lingling, they can be considered as a real single man and a single woman, alone in a room.
In the eyes of outsiders, their daughter is already three years old, but she and Lu Ze have only kissed twice at most.
"Well, Master Lu, why don't you sleep on the couch in the outer room..."
"Since Lingling is not here, you call me Master Lu?"
It had been a long time since Lu Ze heard Qi Yuning call him "Master Lu" so unfamiliarly. He lowered his head and met Qi Yuning's eyes and said, "What if I insist on sleeping here?"
Qi Yuning raised her phoenix eyes slightly and said, "That...that's not impossible!"
It happened that it was not cold when she arrived, and she did not bring a hot water bottle. The imperial palace was a little chilly after nightfall, so she could use Lu Ze as a hot water bottle.
