Lu Ze chose a gentle pony for Lingling, carried Lingling to the horse, and let Lingling touch the horse's head.
Lingling gently stroked the horse's fur and said, "Lingling likes riding horses."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "When the Wan Kingdom pays tribute to us with Ferghana horses, if there are any ponies, Lingling will pick one."
Lingling asked, "Lingling, can you pick a few more? Lingling wants to give them to the Zheng family sisters."
"They are too young to ride horses."
Lingling asked, "How about Brother You? He said that after his second uncle gets married, he will go back to North City. Will Lingling never see Brother You again in the future?"
Qi Yuning said, "If you have time in the future, mother can take Lingling to North City."
Lingling said, "But Mom and Dad are rarely free."
Lu Ze rubbed Lingling's head and said, "Okay, I'll pick a pony for your brother You when the time comes."
After playing at the horse farm until almost dusk, Lingling fell asleep from exhaustion. Lu Ze and Qi Yuning then took Lingling back to the princess's residence.
When Lu Ze returned to the princess's residence, he sent Lingling to Lu Baozhu's room.
When Lu Baozhu saw Lu Ze bringing Lingling over, she felt something was strange.
It was not until they had dinner together at the princess's residence that Lu Baozhu realized something was wrong.
Lu Baozhu looked at Qi Yuning and said, "I took the trouble to have you marry into our Lu family so that you could serve me. Now, not only are you not here to serve me, but you're treating me like a wet nurse to take care of your child!"
Qi Yuning said, "If you don't want to bring Lingling with you, there are people who like to bring Lingling with them."
Lu Baozhu snorted lightly, but she didn't say that she didn't want to take Lingling with her. She just felt that she had suffered a great loss.
Princess Pingrou sighed softly when she saw Lu Baozhu like this. "You are only a few days younger than Yuning. Yuning is married, but what about you? You are still so childish. Sigh, I don't know when you will be able to get married. I am afraid that by the time I am old, I may not even be able to become a grandmother."
Lu Baozhu pouted and said, "I do want to get married, but I need a good man. How many good men like my brother are there in this world?"
Lu Yun said: "There are at least two, and the other one is me."
Qi Yuning picked up the serving chopsticks beside him, picked up the only vegetable on the round table, and handed it to Lu Yun's bowl, "Uncle, eat more."
Lu Yun saw the emerald green leaves, "..."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning with a hint of jealousy, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You've never picked up food for me."
Qi Yuning picked up another piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into Lu Ze's bowl.
Lu Ze didn't care and ate the same as Lu Yun. Lu Yun couldn't eat the green leafy vegetables in the bowl.
Duke Lu said, "Baohua will be getting married in a few days. I don't know when she will be able to return to the capital after she gets married."
Lu Ze said, "Zhong Ming intends to stay in Shengjing City as an official. Baohua will probably not go to Beicheng, but stay in Shengjing City."
"That's good." Duke Lu said, "Seeing that you children have reached the age of getting married, Yun'er, your marriage should also be put on the agenda. You and Chen Nian..."
Lu Yun said, "Chen Nian? The woman whose husband died in Longzhou? What does she have to do with me?"
Qi Yuning thought that Lingling called Chen Nian "Auntie", so Chen Nian must have married Lu Yun in the end.
For Yu Qiyuning, Lu Yun’s wife was not irrelevant to her.
A good sister-in-law is better than a good mother-in-law.
After all, Lu Yun and Lu Ze are brothers who are connected by blood. As long as Princess Pingrou is around, there is no way they will split up.
Qi Yuning has longed for the hustle and bustle of a big family since he was a child, but he is also afraid of the intrigues in the backyard mansions. If Lu Yun's wife is Shen Nian, it would be good for Qi Yuning.
Just as Qi Yuning was thinking about it, he heard the little bald donkey's voice full of disgust.
"Dad, am I really that useless? How could you imagine me marrying a woman who's older than me, widowed, and has a child with her own children? She was an orphan when she was little, and her husband died soon after she got married. It's clear she's destined to be unlucky! I'm afraid she'll kill me if I marry her!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuning put down his chopsticks fiercely and said, "Chen Nian's father was a captain in the Dragon and Tiger Army. Her father and my fourth uncle died at the hands of the Beimo people while trying to protect over a thousand Dasheng people in a small border town. Chen Nian's father even risked his life to protect my fourth uncle's body. Without Chen Nian's biological father, my fourth uncle's body would have been humiliated!
Shen Nian's biological mother worked so hard to sew clothes so that the soldiers could wear cotton clothes in winter that she died of exhaustion!
Shen Nian's husband died because of the Qin family's scheme, so why blame her for being the unlucky one?
The brave Qi family army is no better than a useless person like you who only knows how to become a monk after getting into trouble."
Lu Ze glared at Lu Yun and said, "Lu Yun, apologize!"
Lu Yunlian said to Qi Yuning: “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said that Shen Nian was a lonely star.”
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Yun and said, "If you don't learn your lesson, go to the North City military camp again and see how hard it is for the soldiers there to guard the border. The Qi family army will never tolerate your insults like this again!"
Lu Yun kept saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Princess Pingrou said to Lu Yun, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to study at the Imperial College!"
"Ah?" Lu Yun frowned and said, "Mother..."
Seeing that Princess Pingrou ignored him, Lu Yun begged Duke Lu, "Father."
"Studying at the Imperial College is also for your own good!" Lu Ze said, "I will take you to the Imperial College tomorrow."
After dinner, Qi Yuning returned to her room, washed up, and combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror, still with a cold expression on her face.
