As soon as Lu Yun said this, everyone glared at him fiercely.
Qi Yu'an stepped forward and said to Lu Yun, "Why don't you train in the army?"
Lu Yun said: "I came to see Pingping!"
Qi Yu'an said: "Let's go practice first!"
Qi Yuning said coldly, "I'll take Lingling for a walk outside first."
After Qi Yuning returned to her room, she heard a burst of crying coming from inside the house.
As soon as Qi Yuning entered, she heard Lingling crying breathlessly, "Mother, mother, Lingling doesn't want auntie, she wants mother, ...
Qi Yuning went in and held Lingling, who was crying on the bed, in her arms, "Mother is here, Lingling, mother is here."
Lingling lay on Qi Yuning's shoulder and cried, "Wow, mother dear, Lingling thought you didn't want Lingling anymore."
Qi Yuning kissed Lingling's little face, looked at her face which looked exactly like Lu Ze's, and said, "Mother has not given up on Lingling. How could Mother possibly give up on Lingling?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling in her arms, "Lingling is mother's most precious baby."
Lingling then smiled and said, "Mom, you said that if Lingling was obedient, she would have brothers and sisters. Where are her brothers and sisters?"
Lingling looked at Qi Yuning's belly and said, "Are your younger siblings already in mother's belly? Ayou said his younger siblings are in mother's belly."
Qi Yuning patted Lingling's head and said, "Not yet, but mother promised that she would give Lingling a brother or sister."
Lingling chuckled and said, "Great! Mother, where's Daddy?"
Qi Yuning held Lingling's little hand tightly and said, "Daddy will come to North City safely."
Qi Yuning had been playing with Lingling these days. She had no interest or energy to participate in Qi Yu'an and the others' plans.
Qi Yuning understood that Qi Yu'an was unwilling to take risks with the reputation of Qi's ancestors and Ah Ping's health, but she really couldn't wait for Lu Ze with peace of mind. She didn't even know whether Lu Ze had left Shengjing City.
Qi Yuning had to pretend to be calm in front of Princess Pingrou so that she would not worry about Lu Ze.
At nightfall, Qi Yuning played the xiao.
Everyone in the Qi family's army can play the xiao. Qi Yuning was taught to play the xiao by her parents when she was young.
My parents said that when the Qi army was away fighting and missed their family, they would play the xiao...
Only now did Qi Yuning realize how heart-wrenching longing and worrying could be.
"Mother, what is this?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling under the lamp and said, "This is the xiao. Lingling, do you want to play it?"
Lingling nodded with a gleam in her eyes, "Yes, Lingling wants to blow it."
Qi Yuning called Lingling to puff up her cheeks and blow. Lingling puffed up her cheeks and blew hard. Seeing Lingling's puffy little face, Qi Yuning held Lingling in his arms and said to Chunfen, "Go ask around and see if there's any temple in North City that's known for its spiritual power. I want to go there tomorrow and pray for Lu Ze."
Chunfen said, "Few people in North City believe in Buddhism, but there is a Taoist temple that is known for its miracles, and that is the Tianyi Temple that the princess visited last time."
Qi Yuning said, "Okay, get ready. I'll go to Tianyi Temple tomorrow."
Qi Yuning carried Lingling onto the bed and reached out to touch Lingling's eyebrows. In fact, Lingling's eyebrows were not like Lu Ze's. Lu Ze had sword-like eyebrows, while Lingling's eyebrows were very light.
Lingling's eyes don't look like Lu Ze's if you look closely. Lu Ze's eyes are very deep and difficult to see through.
"Lu Ze."
Lingling raised her eyes to look at Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, I'm Lingling!"
Qi Yuning came back to his senses and hugged Lingling, saying, "Go to sleep, Lingling."
…
Early in the morning, Qi Yuning woke Lingling up, changed into plain clothes and planned to go to Tianyi Pavilion.
As soon as Qi Yuning walked out of the hospital, he saw Lu Baohua.
When Lu Baohua saw Qi Yuning, he said, "Princess, I saw your maid preparing sandalwood yesterday. I asked and found out that you were going to Tianyi Temple today. I also want to go with you to pray for my parents..."
Qi Yuning could see the worry in Lu Baohua's eyes, so he said, "Okay, let's go together."
Tianyi Temple is very quiet in the early morning. It is early summer, and flowers are blooming in the mountains, and winding paths lead to secluded places.
Qi Yuning found that this Tianyiguan had the style of a Jiangnan courtyard.
When Qi Yuning pushed the door open and entered, he saw several familiar faces.
She was the eldest lady of General Zhong's family, and her five-year-old son, Zhong You. The person following her was not her husband, but Zhong Ming.
"Brother Ayu!"
"Sister Lingling!"
When Qi Yuning saw Lingling in his arms was happy to see Ayou, he put Lingling down.
The eldest young lady of the Zhong family saluted Qi Yuning first, then pulled Ayou and said, "Ayou, salute the princess first, and this girl is..."
Qi Yuning introduced Lu Baohua who was standing beside her and said, "This is Lu Baohua, the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion. Baohua, this is the eldest young lady of General Zhong's family and the second young master Zhong."
The eldest lady of the Zhong family bowed and said, "Second Miss Lu."
Zhong Ming looked at Lu Baohua in front of him, bowed and said, "Second Miss Lu."
Lu Baohua returned the greeting, "Madam, Second Young Master Zhong."
Lingling and Ayu have endless things to talk about when they are together, and they are inseparable for a while.
Qi Yuning saw the slightly bulging belly of Mrs. Zhong and asked, "How many months?"
Mrs. Zhong smiled gently and said, "It's five months, and it's twins. I came to the Taoist temple today to pray for the safety of the unborn children. I happened to meet the princess and Miss Lu."
Qi Yuning said, "Congratulations. I'll leave Lingling in the care of the two of you. Let's go in and pray first."
Mrs. Zhong said, "Don't worry, Princess."
Qi Yuning and Lu Baohua entered the Taoist temple. Qi Yuning asked Lu Baohua, "What do you think of the Second Young Master Zhong?"
