Lingling held up a piece of cake and said, "Daddy and Mommy promised to give Lingling a brother or sister. I'll give this cake to my brother or sister when they're born."
Princess Pingrou was filled with surprise and asked, "Really? Did your father and mother really say they would have a younger brother or sister?"
Lingling nodded and said, "Yes, Mom and Dad promised Lingling last night!"
Princess Pingrou's face lit up with joy, and she said to Prince Consort Lu beside her, "These two children are together and they've kept it a secret from me. It seems like the marriage has to be put on the agenda. The betrothal gifts that Lu Yun prepared to marry Yuning last time will definitely be useless. We have to prepare a brand new set."
Prince Consort Lu asked, "Are you already preparing the betrothal gifts? Aren't you being too hasty?"
Princess Pingrou said, "Lingling is going to have a brother or sister soon, why are you so anxious? We'll go later this afternoon."
In the afternoon, Princess Pingrou returned Lingling to Prince Qi's Mansion and went to the wedding shop to buy the betrothal gifts.
Princess Pingrou personally came to select, which surprised many ladies. "Your Highness, are you here to select personally? We can let the housekeeper take care of these small matters."
Princess Pingrou chuckled and said, "My Ze'er is marrying the Crown Prince's Consort, so I can't neglect her."
"Congratulations, Princess! I heard that Prince Lu's fiancée is quite virtuous. Her sisters all married into noble families, and they are all very virtuous. It is a great pleasure for the princess to have such a virtuous daughter-in-law."
Princess Pingrou paused, "Who said Ze'er's Crown Prince's Consort has a sister?"
"Isn't Mr. Lu's fiancée Miss Guan Liu?"
Princess Pingrou said, "Miss Guan Liu is quite virtuous. My son Ze'er has always been a jerk and is not worthy of such a virtuous girl. The Crown Prince has someone else as his consort."
When Princess Pingrou said this, Madam Xue Bo glared at her eldest daughter-in-law fiercely. "Didn't you say your sixth sister was engaged to Prince Lu? What's going on here?"
Guan Zhiwei clasped her hands when she heard this and said, "I don't know either."
Mrs. Xue Bo asked, "These past few days everyone thought your sixth sister was going to marry into the Lu family, but now it's all a joke."
Guan Zhiwei bit her lips tightly, "I..."
Mrs. Xue Bo angrily flicked her sleeves and left in a hurry!
…
When Lu Ze returned to his own courtyard from the Dali Temple, he saw that the servants had packed everything in his room into boxes.
Lu Ze looked at Princess Pingrou who was busy working inside and asked, "Mother, are you going to kick me out of the house?"
Princess Pingrou said, "Since your wedding is imminent, the courtyard needs to be renovated and furnished with new furniture. You should live in your brother's courtyard first."
"What upcoming wedding?" Lu Ze asked.
Princess Pingrou said, "Mother has already sent someone to match your horoscopes for your marriage with Yuning."
Lu Ze asked, "Where did you get Princess Qi's horoscope?"
"Isn't Yuning engaged to your brother? Of course, we have her birth date and horoscope."
Lu Ze said helplessly, "The princess and I haven't even started dating yet, why are you trying to match our horoscopes?"
Princess Pingrou asked, "How come there's still no sign of a relationship? Didn't Lingling say you were going to give her a brother or sister?"
