A Ping is going to the palace to meet the emperor. In addition to being nervous about her parents, she is ultimately the supreme emperor and queen.
So Aping went to Qi Yuning early in the morning to ask how to perform the ceremony.
Qi Yuning said to Ah Ping, "Common people are not subject to the same etiquette. Even if you don't perform the etiquette in the correct way, His Majesty and His Majesty will not criticize you. What's more, you are pregnant with the eldest son of our Qi family."
Ah Ping touched her belly and said, "I'm a little nervous. Princess, can you go with me?"
Qi Yuning said: "Isn't my brother with you?"
Ah Ping said, "But I'm afraid the Queen will want to see me alone, Princess, please."
Ah Ping's voice was very soft, and Qi Yuning knew what her brother meant by "spoiled". Qi Yuning had never seen a girl who spoke so softly in her life.
You know what, she, like Qi Yu'an, also likes this.
Qi Yuning said: "Okay."
Qi Yuning went over and woke up Lingling who was still sleeping soundly, and whispered, "Lingling, your mother will accompany your aunt to the palace. When you wake up later, let Aunt Xiaoman Guyu take you to visit your grandmother."
Xiao Lingling rubbed her eyes and nodded, being very obedient.
"Lingling is really well-behaved." Ping looked at Lingling with envy.
Qi Yuning also admired her future self for being able to raise Lingling to be so well-behaved and sensible.
At noon, after His Majesty left the court, Qi Yu'an brought Qi Yuning and A Ping to the Zichen Hall to pay their respects.
Emperor Shiyuan has been feeling unwell recently, and the wrinkles on his face have obviously increased a lot.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Shi Yuan looked at the woman beside Qi Yu'an, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked down from the dragon throne. He walked up to Ah Ping and looked at Ah Ping's appearance carefully, "Yu'an, she is..."
Qi Yu'an bowed and said, "Your Majesty, she is Ah Ping, the one I want to marry."
Ah Ping looked at the white-haired monarch in front of her. She felt nervous about meeting the emperor, and she also felt unspeakable grievance, pain and excitement when she knew that the person in front of her was her father. She had mixed feelings and could only stand there in a daze for a while.
Emperor Shiyuan looked at Ah Ping and asked, "How old are you?"
Ah Ping said slowly, "Twenty. In another month I'll be twenty-one."
Emperor Shi Yuan said, "He is about the same age as my Ze'er."
Qi Yu'an knelt before Emperor Shiyuan and said, "Your Majesty, I have made a lifelong commitment to A Ping. I hope Your Majesty will grant A Ping the title of Princess Qi."
Ah Ping knelt down beside Qi Yu'an again and again.
Qi Yuning helped Emperor Shiyuan back to the throne. "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has confirmed that Ping is carrying my nephew."
Emperor Shi Yuan looked at Ah Ping's belly, which was covered by her clothes. He couldn't tell that she was pregnant. "This is a great joy."
Qi Yuning smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, you don't like my brother's first child being a bastard, right? He is my grandfather's first great-grandson after all. I hope Your Majesty will consider the child and make Ah Ping the Princess of Qi."
Emperor Shiyuan said: "A Ping's background is really too low..."
"The Queen has arrived."
When Ah Ping heard the eunuch's message, she turned around and looked, regardless of palace etiquette.
She saw a kind-hearted woman in gorgeous clothes, with her hair combed into a high bun, come in. Her face did not have the stern look of a superior, but was very kind and gentle, just like the loving mother she had dreamed of when she was a child.
Ah Ping's eyes were slightly filled with tears. Qi Yu'an covered them with his wide sleeves, interlocked his fingers with Ah Ping's, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
Queen Qin came in and saw Ah Ping with red eyes. She chuckled and said, "Hurry up and get up. This is Ah Ping, right? I heard that you are four months pregnant. Your health is very important. Get up quickly."
Qi Yu'an then helped Ah Ping up and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Queen Qin looked at Ah Ping and said, "This Ah Ping looks very kind. She is indeed a beauty."
Qi Yuning stepped forward and supported Queen Qin, saying, "My brother and I grew up in the presence of the Empress. With her guidance, we have good judgment. Miss Ping's background is almost impeccable. I hope Your Majesty and the Empress can help her and my brother get married, and give my nephew a good status."
Queen Qin patted Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Yuning, Miss A Ping is a good person, but she is really not suitable to be the Princess of Qi."
Qi Yuning said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you two think Miss Ping's background is not good, why not adopt Miss Ping as your goddaughter? That way, Miss Ping's background will not be bad."
Emperor Shi Yuan listened to Qi Yuning's words, but he didn't say that Qi Yuning was fooling around. "Okay."
Qi Yuning had no hope that His Majesty would agree, but when he heard Emperor Shi Yuan say yes, Qi Yuning was still shocked.
Qi Yuan was also shocked, and he had no hope at all.
Qi Yu'an just wanted to take Aping away while Emperor Shiyuan was unwilling to grant her the title of Princess Qi. He didn't expect that His Majesty would approve of Qi Yuning's proposal.
Qi Yuning was only slightly shocked, then he knelt down before Emperor Shi Yuan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Ah Ping realized what was happening, she knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Queen Qin said from the side: "I like this girl very much. She looks just like me. But isn't it too much of a generation gap to adopt her as a daughter? Why not let the fourth son adopt Ah Ping as his adopted daughter..."
Qi Yuning repeatedly said, "My Lady, the Fourth Prince couldn't give birth to a daughter as old as Ah Ping, so the generation is irrelevant."
Emperor Shi Yuan also said to Queen Qin: "Yuning is right. I will make Ah Ping my adopted daughter and grant her the title of Princess Nianxia. She will marry Prince Qi on a chosen date and will be named Princess Qi."
Qi Yu'an was overjoyed and bowed his head repeatedly: "Thank you for your grace."
