In the afternoon, Qi Yuning went to Queen Qin's private storehouse to select precious fabrics. After she selected five items and left the storehouse, she saw Princess Pingrou coming with Lu Fu Ma and Lu Baozhu.
Seeing the pomegranate red material held by the palace maids behind Qi Yuning, Lu Baozhu said, "You are really quick! I just heard that Jiangnan had sent this batch of material as tribute, and you got it first!"
Qi Yuning asked: "Do you like it?"
Lu Baozhu nodded and said, "Yes."
Qi Yuning gave the fabric to Lu Baozhu and said, "Go make a nice dress. Zhong Ming's parents, brother, and sister-in-law have all come to Shengjing City and will return to Beicheng after the New Year. Therefore, Zhong Ming and Lu Baohua's wedding will be scheduled for the twelfth lunar month. You must arrange the marriage before the twelfth lunar month."
This pomegranate red material is suitable for Lu Baozhu. I just hope that she, Lu Baozhu, can wear this material and find an ideal husband as soon as possible.
Lu Baozhu yawned and sighed, "Alas."
"Why are you so sleepy?"
Lu Baozhu said, "Yesterday, when I knew my parents would be back today, I couldn't sleep. I simply asked the maid to read to me from a storybook, and I didn't fall asleep until midnight."
Pingrou saw that Lu Baozhu was still asleep, and she was very disappointed. She found Lu Baozhu and went to see Yuan Ge'er, "Baozhu, come and meet your little cousin."
Lu Baozhu came closer to Qi Yu'an and looked at the child in his arms. "My little cousin looks like Lingling."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "He is my nephew, Lingling's cousin, so naturally he looks similar to Lingling."
Although Lu Baozhu had long been accustomed to her low generation, she was very unhappy when she knew that Yuan Ge'er had to call Qi Yuning "Auntie" and only called her "Cousin".
"From now on, he has to call me aunt."
Princess Pingrou asked, "You are Yuan'er's cousin. Isn't it a difference of generation if you call me aunt?"
Lu Baozhu said, "Qi Yuning and I grew up together and are as close as sisters. Her nephew is my nephew, so what's wrong with calling him aunt?"
Qi Yuning sneered when she heard the words "as close as sisters". When it comes to boasting, Lu Baozhu is the one who can do it best.
Princess Pingrou said, "This is actually your cousin."
Lingling scratched her head and said, "This is Lingling's cousin. Why is he also my aunt's cousin?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is your father's cousin."
Lingling asked, "Lingling and Daddy's cousin are the same?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
Lingling was very confused. She counted on her fingers and tried to figure out the generations, but she just couldn't make sense of it.
It was a great joy that Zhao Shu was named a princess. In addition, Yuan Ge'er had not yet held a full-moon banquet, so the Qi Wang Mansion decided to hold a full-moon banquet on October 6th.
It was called a full moon banquet, but in fact it was to announce to the whole Shengjing that Zhao Shu had been named a princess.
The full moon banquet was approaching, and Qi Yuning was so busy that she had no time to rest.
Lingling may be afraid that Qi Yuning likes Yuan Ge'er more, so she has been very clingy to Qi Yuning recently. Even when Qi Yuning is busy, Lingling still stays by his side. Even if Qi Yuning ignores her, she still plays with the small peach wood sword obediently.
Even when the two sisters Baoshuang and Baoxue came back and wanted to take Lingling out to play, Lingling was unwilling to leave Qi Yuning.
Qi Yuning actually liked Lingling sticking to him. When he could occasionally see Lingling when he was busy, he would feel all his tiredness disappear.
Qi Yuning hadn't seen Lu Ze for five days since Qi Yu'an came back. If Lingling hadn't mentioned it at night, Qi Yuning would have forgotten that he hadn't seen Lu Ze for five days.
"Mom, why doesn't Daddy come to see Lingling anymore? Does Daddy like my little cousin more?"
Qi Yuning said, "No, Daddy must be busy. Plus, your uncle is in the palace, so he doesn't dare to come after the palace closes. Mother will take you to see your daddy right now."
Qi Yuning took Lingling's hand and headed for the side door. Seeing the dog hole next to the door, he remembered that Lingling had crawled through here before and asked, "How did Lingling know there was a dog hole here?"
"My uncle said so. He said he crawled through this dog hole when he was a kid."
Qi Yuning: "..."
No wonder Lu Yun had to come to their Prince Qi's Mansion from time to time when he was young, and he had no maids or servants following him.
Qi Yuning brought Lingling to Lu Ze's courtyard as if they were familiar with the place. Seeing that the lights were off, she realized that Lu Ze had not returned yet.
Lingling blinked and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Daddy is not at home, are you secretly playing with your cousin?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and touched Lingling's head. "If Lingling had a brother or sister, Mom and Dad would also play with them. Would Lingling be jealous then?"
Lingling thought for a moment and said, "Daddy and Mommy can play with Lingling, and then Lingling can play with her brothers and sisters."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "But what if my younger brothers and sisters also want to play with Daddy and Mommy?"
"Then let's play together. Daddy, mommy, Lingling, brother and sister, play together."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "After Lingling returns, Daddy and Mommy will give Lingling a younger brother or sister."
Lingling asked, "Where should Lingling go back to?"
Qi Yuning looked at the little Lingling in her arms, thinking that it was probably only two months away from becoming pregnant with Lingling. She wondered if Lingling would still be here after she became pregnant.
When Lu Ze returned, he saw the lights on in the room and thought it was the maids cleaning. When he entered, he saw Qi Yuning, who was wearing a plain dress and had her hair loose. "Yuning."
Lu Ze stepped forward and hugged Qi Yuning into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Qi Yuning pushed Lu Ze away and said, "Lingling is here too."
Lingling looked up at Lu Ze and said, "Daddy!"
Lu Ze asked, "Why are you here?"
