Qi Yuning, wrapped in her cassock, hugged the person in front of her tightly, biting her lip to hold back tears as she said, "If I had known that Tianyi Temple was so effective, I should have come to it earlier."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze in front of her. After not seeing him for more than half a month, Lu Ze had lost a lot of weight. Without his black hair, his outlines looked even more distinct and his facial features even more stunning.
Qi Yuning looked at the scar on Lu Ze's head, reached out to touch it and said, "Why did you burn the scar again? Did you really become a monk?"
Lu Ze reached out and held Qi Yuning's wrist, pushed her against the tree, and lowered his head to kiss Qi Yuning's lips.
During this month, Lu Ze was looking forward to seeing Qi Yuning all the time.
Qi Yuning once again wrapped her arms around Lu Ze's narrow waist, closed her eyes, and responded to Lu Ze's fierce kiss.
Lu Ze didn't let go of Qi Yuning until both of them were almost out of breath. He gasped and hugged Qi Yuning tightly in his arms, silently expressing his longing for her for the past half month with his arms.
Qi Yuning leaned against Lu Ze's chest and asked, "How did you get out of Shengjing City? How did you get to Beicheng so quickly?"
Lu Ze said, "Qin Feng used a death row inmate to fake my death in prison and left Shengjing disguised as a monk. I thought the soldiers you left behind were too slow, so I came here on horseback with a few highly skilled secret guards. We just arrived today."
Qi Yuning reached out and touched Lu Ze's tired eyes. "Then come with me back to the palace to rest. Your parents, uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters are all worried about you."
"I've already sent Deqing back to the palace to report the news." Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning tightly and said, "Let me hold you for a while."
Qi Yuning asked, "How did you know I was at Tianyi Temple?"
Lu Ze said, "I just happened to see your carriage coming to Tianyi Temple as soon as I entered the city, so I asked the Taoist priest to help find you and brought you to the backyard. If Lingling knew I was here, I wouldn't be able to kiss you."
Qi Yuning smiled and snuggled into Lu Ze's arms. She thought she had a lot to say, but just holding him quietly, she felt that the world was no longer bleak, and she no longer felt that the future was bumpy.
After a long time, Qi Yuning came out of Lu Ze's arms, holding Lu Ze's hand and went out to see Lingling.
Lingling was pestering Zhong Ming to weave a little sparrow for her out of straw when she heard Lu Ze's voice: "Lingling."
Lingling looked back and saw Qi Yuning walking towards them holding the hand of a monk. Lingling walked up to the monk, raised her head and looked at him, and shouted in disbelief: "Dad? Dad?"
Lu Ze picked up Lingling and said, "Good boy Lingling!"
Lingling touched Lu Ze's bald head and said, "Daddy, how come your head is as bald as uncle's?"
"Prince Lu."
"Big brother."
Lu Baohua was overjoyed to see Lu Ze coming.
Lu Ze nodded towards Lu Baohua and said to Zhong Ming beside Lu Baohua, "Major General Zhong."
Lingling showed Lu Ze the grasshopper she was weaving. "Daddy, my second uncle is amazing! He can weave so many insects and even little sparrows!"
Hearing Lingling's address, Lu Baohua blushed and said, "Lingling, how can you call someone that carelessly?"
Qi Yuning also covered Lingling's mouth, "Lingling, don't yell at people."
Qi Yuning apologized to Lu Baohua and Zhong Ming, "I'm sorry, Lingling is too young to pronounce my name clearly. I will teach her a lesson."
Lu Baohua said: "It's okay, don't blame Lingling, Lingling is too young to know how to address you."
Zhong Ming also said: "Princess, please don't blame Xiao Lingling."
Zhong Ming handed the woven sparrow to Lingling and said, "Here, this is for Lingling."
Lingling took the little sparrow and played with it on the scar on Lu Ze's head. "Little sparrow, eat millet. Daddy has millet on his head."
Lu Ze said, "I'm not going to play anymore. I'm going home."
Lingling waved to Ayou who was standing beside her and said, "Goodbye, Brother Ayou. Lingling has parents now. I have to go back now!"
Lingling hadn't seen Lu Ze for a long time, and she kept making a fuss along the way, refusing to get down from Lu Ze's arms. Although Lu Ze was sleepy and tired, he was still able to hold a three-year-old child.
Lu Ze looked at Lingling in front of him and said to Qi Yuning, "It seems like she really won't grow up. After all this time, her height hasn't changed at all."
Even if a child grows very slowly, he should have grown at least an inch taller from August to almost May, but Lingling has not changed at all.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling in front of him and said, "Looks like I need to find Taoist He and think of a way to get Lingling back."
Lu Ze said, "Master He's whereabouts are erratic, and there's indeed no news of him. I'll have my men look for him again."
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning returned to the palace. Princess Pingrou and Lu Baozhu, the husband of the prince, who had heard the news, were already waiting at the gate of Prince Qi's palace.
When Princess Pingrou saw Lu Ze coming, she stepped forward and asked, "Ze'er, your hair? Why did you become a monk?"
Lu Ze put Lingling down and knelt before Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu, saying, "I am an unfilial child. My hair and body were given to me by my parents, so I shouldn't have shaved my head. However, in order to leave Shengjing City, I had no choice but to shave my head and become a monk. I hope my parents will forgive me."
Princess Pingrou helped Lu Ze up and said, "Hurry up and get up. You've lost a lot of weight. Go in and take a good bath and rest."
Lu Ze responded, "Okay."
Qi Yuning said: "I'll let the maid serve you."
Lu Ze said, "Just let Deqing come."
Lu Baozhu said to Qi Yuning, "My brother has such a bad temper. He thinks everything is dirty. Just let Deqing take care of him. The sparrow in Xiao Lingling's hand is so cute. Who made this? They are so skillful!"
