After Queen Mother Zhou and His Majesty left, Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Ze unhappily.
Lu Ze understood what Qi Yuning meant from her eyes and said lightly, "You can't blame me for the Zhou family's thoughts, right?"
Qi Yuning said, "A fly won't bite an egg without a crack. You are the egg with a crack."
Lu Ze: "God knows how wronged I am."
“Princess, Miss Shen Nian is outside asking to see you.”
Qi Yuning said: "Let her in."
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning, "Talk to Chen Nian first. I have some official business to attend to. I'll come back to accompany you after I finish it."
Qi Yuning said: "Yeah."
Chen Nian came here today without Han Ge'er. When she saw the child next to Qi Yuning, she hugged the child.
"This child looks just like Lingling. With those little eyes and nose, he's sure to be exactly like Lingling when he grows up."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yes, she does look similar to Lingling. Now she is also called Lingling."
Chen Nian looked at her chubby little daughter and said, "It turns out that daughters are really much softer and quieter than sons. I held her in my arms, and she didn't even cry. My brother Han only recognizes me, and today too... I can only come out to see you when he's asleep."
Qi Yuning recalled how Lingling hadn't seemed shy at all before, "Daughters are more considerate."
Shen Nian smiled and said, "I don't know if I will have the chance to have a daughter in this life."
Qi Yuning said, "You are still young, there is definitely a chance. You are only twenty-two years old at most."
Shen Nian touched her flat belly and said, “That’s right, after all, I’m still young, maybe I can have a daughter!”
Qi Yuning smiled calmly, "When you're done with your country, I'll find you a good husband. Do you prefer a military commander or a civil official?"
Chen Nian smiled faintly and said, "Please choose someone who is good to my Han'er. Han'er lost her father when she was just born. I only hope to find a father who will treat Han'er as his own son.
I'm not picky about military commanders or civil officials. This is my second marriage, so I don't want to be picky about the man's family. My only requirement is that the man's family treats Han'er as their own. That's all."
Qi Yuning thought about Shen Nian's request, and the Lu family met it. Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu had previously learned that Lu Yun had snatched a son away, but they sincerely felt that they had picked up a grandson for free.
Shen Nian didn't stay long, and after she left, Lu Baozhu came.
Qi Yuning didn't want Lu Baozhu to see him in such a weak state, but he was worried about Lu Baozhu meeting Lingling alone, so he had to meet her.
Lu Baozhu entered, her heart and eyes filled with Lingling, "Auntie's dear Lingling, Auntie has missed you so much. I've been missing you for nine months and sixteen days. You're finally back!"
Lu Baozhu looked at the dazed Lingling, slowly closed her eyes and said, "Why did Lingling fall asleep?"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Babies in confinement only eat and sleep. She's only been here for two days. In fact, she won't understand anything you say."
Lu Baozhu looked at Lingling's peaceful sleeping face and said, "If I want a little Lingling like before who can talk, call me aunt, run and jump, and hold a small peach wood sword and say she wants to protect me, won't I have to wait three years to see her?"
Qi Yuning said, "Well, some children can speak a lot when they are two years old, while some children can only babble a few words at the age of two."
Lu Baozhu: "Ah? The baby Lingling isn't fun at all. The old Lingling is more fun."
Lu Ze entered and heard the word "fun" and frowned, saying, "Lingling is not here for you to play with. Your parents are right. You are already twenty years old, it's time to talk about marriage.
I happen to have a good candidate for a husband. He was the top scholar in the same imperial examination as Lin Jiang. He previously served in Shuzhou for three years and has now returned to the court. He has performed outstandingly and has been promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He is only twenty-six years old. He previously had a wife who had a difficult childbirth and left a three-year-old daughter. He had not discussed marriage before because he was in mourning for his deceased wife..."
Before Lu Ze could finish his words, Lu Baozhu threw the cup beside her at him.
"Hiss!" Lu Ze covered his forehead and took a deep breath. "Lu Baozhu, if you don't want to, then don't. Why are you hitting people?"
Seeing this, Qi Yuning said, "Serves you right!"
Lu Ze was half wet. He looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You're actually still helping Lu Baozhu. She's like this..."
Lu Baozhu frowned and said, "Brother, I am your biological sister, and you want me to marry a widower, a widower born of a commoner..."
Lu Ze said, "He was the top scholar in Lin Jiang's class. His talent and future prospects may not be inferior to Lin Jiang's. He may even have a better chance of becoming Lin Jiang's acquaintance.
Even though Qian Yun is still a young minister now, throughout the dynasties, there are many ministers in their twenties and twenties. Although their backgrounds are relatively poor, they have real power and are much better than those who only have family backgrounds. Does our Lu family still lack family background? "
Lu Ze wiped the tea and tea leaves off his body with a handkerchief, then went behind the screen to change his clothes.
Qi Yuning said, "Your sister could have found a husband like a marquis or a prime minister, so why did she marry a widower who's been married twice? You're such a mess of a matchmaker. No wonder Lu Baozhu threw a cup at you. If I were you, I'd throw one at you, too!"
Lu Baozhu looked at Qi Yuning with tears in her eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good. From today on, you are my biological sister, and Lu Ze is no longer my big brother!"
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze come out in a changed outfit and said, "However, the man you're talking about is a good match for Shen Nian! They're both remarried and have promising futures. He has a daughter, and Shen Nian has a son..."
Lu Baozhu said, "Yes, this is a good match for Sister Nian. Why not try to match them up after the national mourning period is over?"
