When Lu Ze returned, it was already dark. He did not find Qi Yuning in the room. He went to the kitchen and saw Qi Yuning kneading dough. Her unmade-up face was stained with a lot of white flour.
Lu Ze walked into the kitchen, smiled softly at Qi Yuning, wiped the flour off her face with his handkerchief, and asked, "Why did you think of cooking?"
Qi Yuning said, "Today is your birthday, I want to make longevity noodles for you."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Just let the chef do it. Please forgive me. My mother is the only one at home who can cook the bad food. You don't have to cook."
Qi Yuning said displeasedly, "I worked hard all day today and made longevity noodles especially for you, but you didn't even try them and complained that they were unpalatable! My efforts were in vain!"
Seeing Qi Yuning getting angry, Lu Ze said, "I'm just worried that you'll get tired."
Qi Yuning snorted softly, "No matter what happens today, you have to eat the longevity noodles I made."
Qi Yuning originally wanted to make the noodles more delicate and beautiful, but now he put them all into the pot regardless of whether one end of the noodles was thick or the other end was thin.
Lu Ze coughed and said, "To put noodles in the pot, do we need to add water first?"
It was Qi Yuning's first time cooking, so how could she know whether she needed to add water to the noodles? Seeing the chef nod at her, Qi Yuning scooped up a bowl of water and put it into the pot.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "This is the first time I've made noodles. Don't be ungrateful. You're the only one who gets to eat noodles made by me in this life. No one else will ever get this privilege!"
Lu Ze smiled softly and said, "It is indeed a blessing for your husband!"
Qi Yu would rather ignore Lu Ze's sarcasm and just said, "Since you know it's a blessing, just accept it!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ze saw a bowl of clear soup noodles without any seasoning. He was glad that Qi Yuning at least didn't add unnecessary seasonings like his mother did.
Qi Yuning looked forward to seeing Lu Ze eat the noodles.
In addition to longevity noodles today, there is also a table full of delicious dishes.
When they returned to the courtyard for dinner, Lu Ze picked up a piece of honey-roasted pigeon, which was Qi Yuning's favorite. Qi Yuning covered her lips and vomited when she smelled the food.
She felt nauseous and uncomfortable.
Lu Zelian asked the maid to call the imperial physician.
Guyu smiled and said, "This must be morning sickness. My sister-in-law also vomited a lot when she was pregnant with my nephew. Generally, vomiting and nausea will occur in the first three months of pregnancy."
Qi Yuning had also heard that pregnant women would vomit, and now that she had experienced it herself, she found it quite strange.
When the imperial physician arrived, he respectfully took Qi Yuning's pulse.
After a moment, the imperial physician's face lit up with joy. "Congratulations, Prince Regent, congratulations, the princess is indeed pregnant. The nausea you feel right now is just morning sickness. You can try eating something light, smaller meals more often, or something more acidic."
Lichun, who was beside Qi Yuning, gave the imperial physician a lot of tips.
Qi Yuning touched her belly and confirmed that Lingling was in her belly. There was nothing more gratifying than this.
After the imperial physician left, Qi Yuning took Lu Ze's hand and let him touch her lower abdomen. "Lingling is really inside. I can merge my flesh and blood with Lingling. This feeling is really amazing."
Seeing Qi Yuning's happy face, Lu Ze said with concern: "I still remember when my mother was pregnant with Lu Yun, she had severe morning sickness. Are you going to suffer the same way?"
"For Lingling, I'm willing to endure any hardship!"
Qi Yuning stroked her belly gently and said, "But I think Lingling wouldn't want me to suffer so much."
Lu Ze said calmly, "Lingling is indeed very well-behaved. I just hope that the Xinwei Year will come soon so that I can see little Lingling when she was over three years old."
Qi Yuning said, "Lingling has always complained that we don't have time to accompany her. After she is born, you need to arrange your official duties well and spend more time with little Lingling."
Lu Ze responded: "Yeah."
It was the perfect time of spring in March, but Qi Yuning was suffering from morning sickness. Lu Ze was busy, and she didn't want to worry about him, so she could only endure the discomfort by herself.
It was not until April that the morning sickness gradually subsided, and Qi Yuning discovered that her lower abdomen had become slightly bulging.
The posthumous title of Emperor Shiyuan after his death was also confirmed as Renzong.
The funeral of Emperor Shi Yuan was extremely grand. Civil and military officials came to see him off, and people from all over the city also came to see him off. There was an endless stream of cheers of "Long live the emperor". In terms of merits and demerits, Emperor Shi Yuan must have been a good emperor with more merits than faults.
The fact that so many people were willing to come and see him off shows how well Emperor Shi Yuan treated his people.
After Emperor Shiyuan was sent to the mausoleum.
Princess Pingrou fell ill after returning to the princess mansion, and Qi Yuning went to take care of Princess Pingrou.
"mother."
Princess Pingrou held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "I heard that you vomited a lot recently. I couldn't take good care of you. It's really..."
Qi Yuning said, "Things have their priorities, and the funeral rites for Emperor Ren are the most important."
Princess Pingrou said, "I have been able to survive all this time thanks to you."
"elder sister."
Zhao Shu entered carrying Yuan Ge'er, who was already eight months old.
Pingrou saw Zhao Shu coming and asked, "Sister, why are you here?"
Zhao Shu said softly, "It's not appropriate to leave anyone in North City. The prince and I plan to leave tomorrow, so I came here today to say goodbye."
Qi Yuning looked at Yuan Ge'er, who already knew how to call her mother, and said, "Sister-in-law, please take care of yourselves."
Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Yes."
After seeing Qi Yuan and Zhao Shu off the next day, Qi Yuning looked at the huge Qi Palace. This Qi Palace was so close, but it had been a long time since it had a master.
Qi Yuning returned to the princess's house next door and entered the room. She saw Lu Ze had just come out of the shower. His hair was already very long, but he still couldn't tie it up.
Lu Ze's hair was at its ugliest at this moment. Qi Yuning chuckled at Lu Ze and said, "You look more handsome with short, messy hair or long hair. It's a good thing you didn't have this hair when we got married. It would have been too ugly!"
Lu Ze listened to Qi Yuning's words and put on the wig. "Isn't it ugly now?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "It's not ugly anymore."
Lu Ze pulled Qi Yuning to sit on the wooden chair in front of the desk, leaning against her and kissing her red lips. It had been a long time since they had been so intimate.
Qi Yuning leaned in Lu Ze's arms, breathing heavily.
Lu Ze put his hand on Qi Yuning's waist and asked, "Have you gained some weight?"
Qi Yuning said unhappily, "I'm not fat, I'm showing my pregnancy. It's been over four months, and the baby in my belly will only get bigger!"
Lu Ze gently touched Qi Yuning's slightly bulging belly. "You're really showing your pregnancy. I wonder if Lingling can hear what we're saying?"
Qi Yuning said, "It's only been four months, so he shouldn't be able to hear it, right?"
Lu Ze picked up Qi Yuning and said, "It's good that you can't hear it."
The bed curtains were lightly drawn. Qi Yuning stared at Lu Ze with wide eyes and asked, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Mother specifically told us not to sleep together!"
Lu Ze smiled faintly and said, "There are other ways to stay in different rooms."
Lu Ze touched Qi Yuning's fair hands. Without the nail polish, her delicate hands looked so beautiful...
