Qi Yuning looked outside and saw that it was really too late. Perhaps Lingling had already fallen asleep, so it was inconvenient to wake her up. Thinking that Chunfen was with Lingling, he felt a little relieved.
After Qi Yuning fell asleep, she saw Lu Ze, who was still awake, and asked, "What do you think of Shen Jialin being your brother-in-law?"
"Um?"
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze, "I think Shen Jialin likes Lu Baozhu. The way he looked at her just now might have been a sign of something going on.
The Shen family is also a well-known big family in the north, holding the military power of Shuofang. If our Qi family is the king of the northwest, then the north of Shengjing City is the king of the Shen family.
Shen Jialin is the future head of the Shen family, so considering his background, he hasn't treated your sister unfairly."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Shen Jialin likes the Lu Baozhu with outstanding literary talent, not the Lu Baozhu whose handwriting is as bad as a dog's crawl.
And I think Shen Jialin's temper has been spoiled by his family. Add to that the spoiled Lu Baozhu, and these two people together, it's not just life, it's like going to the battlefield every day."
Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "How can you talk about your sister like that?"
Lu Ze said, "It's precisely because she's my biological sister that I hope she can have a better life. I think it would be better for her to marry someone from a lower-class family. A family like the Shen family, a thousand-year-old family, always values their status. If Lu Baozhu marries into one, she'll definitely suffer."
Aristocratic families are also divided into thousand-year-old, founding and newly emerged families.
The Qi family today is a newly emerged aristocratic family, and it has only been around for three generations.
The Lu and Wang families were both founding families. Although they have been wealthy for three hundred years from their ancestors to the present, they are far inferior to the Shen family, which has stood for a thousand years. The Shen family does not care who becomes the emperor, because no matter who becomes the emperor, it cannot change their wealth.
It’s just that during prosperous times when imperial power was strong, people acted more low-key.
In troubled times, they can make the heroes competing for the Central Plains afraid to touch them.
For aristocratic families like the Shen family and the Ning family, it would be fine if Lu Baozhu just married a young man from a side branch, but it would be even worse if she married the future head of the family.
Qi Yuning thought about it and agreed, "I heard that when my fourth uncle married my fourth aunt, the Ning family looked down on the Qi family, saying they were just nouveau riche. It was my grandfather who personally went to their house to propose marriage.
Aristocratic families like theirs have always looked down upon the most. There is no need for Lu Baozhu to suffer such contempt. It is better to find another husband for her."
…
After the middle of September.
Qi Yuning finally received a letter from Qi Yu'an, and learned that they should arrive at the palace at the end of September.
Qi Yuning was very happy at the thought of meeting her nephew. She thought that there was one more person in the Qi family, and in the future when people talked about the Qi family, it would not just be her and her brother.
Qi Yuning only wanted to give all the treasures in the world to his nephew.
When Lingling learned that her cousin was coming, she was busy tidying up her toys, wanting to give them all to her little cousin. Seeing Baiyu's poor handling, she remembered Xiao Zhaojie.
"Mom, Lingling wants to play with uncle!"
Qi Yuning said, "By the way, your uncle and Prince Duan's great-uncle have already returned to Prince Duan's mansion."
His Majesty learned the truth about Princess Shan's death. Because he knew the identity of the Crown Prince, he brought Princess Duan and her son back to Shengjing City and gave them a lot of compensation.
Lingling said, "Does that mean I can see my uncle without having to take a long carriage ride? Mommy, please take Lingling to see my uncle quickly. Lingling has lots of fun things for him."
Qi Yuning chuckled and took Lingling to Prince Duan's Mansion.
After not seeing him for a few months, little Zhao Jie has grown a lot taller.
Princess Duan saw Qi Yuning coming and said, "Princess Qi, Lingling."
Lingling smiled sweetly, "Grandma, my uncle and I are going out to play."
Qi Yuning saw little Zhao Jie and Ling Ling go to the side to play, and smiled at Princess Duan and said, "The young prince is much happier than when he was in the imperial mausoleum."
Princess Duan nodded and said, "Now that he's back in Shengjing City, he'll have more fun. Bring Lingling over more often to play with him. I think he's happiest with Lingling."
Qi Yuning said: "If you don't mind disturbing me, I will bring her over to play more often."
"Lingling is so interesting, how could I think she was disturbing me?" Princess Duan looked at Qi Yuning and said, "When are you and Ze'er going to get married? I'm looking forward to drinking in your wedding wine."
"October 28th." Qi Yuning said, "There's still more than a month left. I just hope that nothing goes wrong with my third marriage."
Princess Duan smiled and said, "It will go smoothly and happily."
Qi Yuning was actually looking forward to it. Since there was no such thing as a third time, if she couldn't get married this time, then she wouldn't want to get married anymore.
Qi Yuning heard a familiar guqin sound and asked, "Who is playing the guqin?"
Princess Duan stared blankly at the next door and said, "It's Qin Chong and his wife Song Heqing."
Princess Shan was murdered after learning of Qin Chong's identity, but Princess Duan could not hate him. After all, Qin Chong was also a victim and he was innocent.
Qi Yuning said, "I didn't expect that the place where they were imprisoned was right next to you."
Princess Duan said, "Watching him imprisoned in darkness for his entire life can at least comfort the spirits of Shan'er and my prince in heaven."
Qi Yuning thought of Song Heqing and sighed softly. Listening to Song Heqing playing the song they had learned together, she finally wanted to persuade her.
Qi Yuning said to Princess Duan, "Please help me look after Lingling for a while."
Princess Duan said, "You go."
