Lu Ze said happily, "Lingling is only six months old, and she can already speak?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "She can say the word 'eat' now."
Lu Ze laughed and said, "So it's a word for eating. I thought Lingling was calling for help."
Qi Yuning said, "It's quite impressive that Lingling can say the word 'eat' at the age of six months. After all, this is her first time speaking!"
Seeing Qi Yuning happy, Lu Ze also said, "Lingling is indeed amazing."
Seeing that Lu Ze was obviously not as happy as she was about Lingling being able to speak, Qi Yuning went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
In the Empress Dowager's palace, Princess Pingrou was walking with the Empress Dowager in the courtyard.
When the Grand Empress Dowager saw Qi Yuning coming, she was very happy and said, "Yuning, you are free to come in and see me today?"
Qi Yuning said, "Lingling was able to speak her first word today. I came here specially to tell you this good news."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Well, as expected of you and Ze'er's daughter, Yuning, she is so smart."
Princess Pingrou was also very excited. "What did Lingling say?"
"Eat words."
Princess Pingrou couldn't help but smile, "It's a good thing that you like to eat. Being able to eat is a blessing."
The Grand Empress Dowager smiled and said to Princess Pingrou, "Now that both of your sons are married and Ze'er's little daughter can even speak, I'm relieved. Yuan'er is still young, and I can't control him anymore. But among my grandchildren, the only one I can't let go of is Baozhu. You really should start planning her marriage."
Princess Pingrou said, "It's not that I don't have plans for her, it's that she has someone in her heart and she doesn't want to marry her lover."
"Who is it? If you are my sweetheart, why don't you want to marry me?"
Princess Pingrou said, "That young master of the Shen family, Shen Jialin, the Shen family prides themselves on being a family of a thousand years, yet they can only live in a small corner and think highly of themselves. Especially Shen Jialin's mother looks down on Baozhu, and Baozhu doesn't want to suffer that kind of wrath!"
"Come to think of it, aren't you two relatives now? Why do you still look down on me?" The Grand Empress Dowager said, "Isn't Chen Nian from the Shen family? If Baozhu can marry the one she loves, I'll be relieved."
Princess Pingrou said, "Chen Nian is the adopted daughter of the third wife after all, and is different from the first wife. Speaking of Chen Nian, mother, you haven't seen Han Ge'er yet, right? I will bring Han Ge'er into the palace for you to see one day. She has changed her surname to Lu now."
The Empress Dowager said, "Okay."
The Empress Dowager held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "It would be great if you and Chen Nian could give me another great-grandson."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I will."
Princess Pingrou couldn't help but sigh and said, "If Shen Nian hadn't lost her child, she would have given birth in two months."
This was the first time the Grand Empress Dowager had heard of this. "What? Yun'er is really... pregnant during the National Mourning period? No wonder you let him marry the adopted daughter of a wealthy family who had been married twice as the Princess of the County. How could she not have had her child? How could she be gone?"
"It died on the wedding night." Princess Pingrou sighed, "It's all Lu Yun's fault. He acted so recklessly on the wedding night, ignoring the child."
The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Lu Yun is out of tune. That Chen Nian is pregnant and doesn't know how to be more careful. After all, she is a woman who has given birth to a child, not a spoiled girl who knows nothing..."
Yuning, why are your hands so cold? "
Qi Yuning said repeatedly: "Maybe I didn't wear enough clothes, it's a lot colder today."
Princess Pingrou said, "Lingling has just recovered from her illness. You must not catch a cold. Go back home quickly and get dressed."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Okay."
On the way out of the palace and back to the princess's mansion, Qi Yuning figured everything out. Just as the Empress Dowager said, Shen Nian was a mother for the second time, so how could she be so careless?
If Shen Nian doesn't want to have a child now, then what about the child she was pregnant with before?
Why is it such a coincidence that the child was lost just after he entered the princess's mansion?
When Qi Yuning saw Chen Nian's tight belly that day, she originally thought that Chen Nian was afraid that the pregnancy during the national mourning period would be ruined. Now she wondered if Chen Nian had intended not to have the child from the beginning.
When Qi Yuning thought of this, he felt a chill all over his body. Seeing that they were almost at the princess's mansion, he ordered the coachman to turn around and go to the pharmacy.
Seeing Qi Yuning coming again, the little pharmacist in the pharmacy asked, "Sir, why are you here again?"
Qi Yuning asked, "The customer I asked you yesterday, did he buy abortion pills a few months ago?"
"She did come to buy a set of abortion pills a few days before the Lunar New Year. No one else has bought abortion pills all year. Buying abortion pills on New Year's Day is truly sinful. My master didn't want to sell them at first, but he was afraid other pharmacies might add extra ingredients, so he sold her two sets."
Qi Yuning frowned when he heard this. Chen Nian had really gotten rid of him long ago!
Lichun was extremely surprised and said, "I didn't expect the princess to be such a person. Should we tell the young prince about this, princess?"
Qi Yuning said, "It's not appropriate for me to interfere in the affairs of the Second House."
If this matter were to be made public, the Lu family would surely be in chaos. Qi Yuning buried it deep in her heart and didn't even intend to tell Lu Ze, pretending that she had never known about it.
I also hope that Shen Nian can reform herself and save her biological father's reputation in the Qi Family Army.
After the spring in March, April is already early summer and the weather is getting visibly hotter.
Lingling took off her heavy clothes, and her little arms and legs looked even more adorable.
Lingling could crawl when she was seven months old, and she was so skilled at crawling around the room that Qi Yuning specifically asked the maid to wipe the floor three times a day.
Sometimes, Lu Ze would bring Lingling into the palace. Lingling liked little Zhao Jie very much. After entering the palace, she didn't want Lu Ze to hold her and insisted on staying with little Zhao Jie. Unfortunately, she could only crawl and couldn't walk.
