When the future head of the Shen family got married, there were more than a hundred tables of guests at the banquet, which showed how wealthy they were.
Seeing the Shen family's pomp and circumstance, Lu Ze exchanged glances with Lin Jiang at the other table.
The Shen family's display today is far from low-key, and it can be seen that a lean camel is indeed bigger than a horse. Even though the Shen family has not yet returned to the court, their wealth and connections in Dasheng cannot be underestimated.
At the main table, Lu Ze naturally sat at the head seat, with Shen Jialin's father sitting on his other side, and Chu Yan, the head of the Chu family, on his other side.
Lingling insisted on sitting next to Lu Ze, but Lu Ze doted on Lingling and let her sit beside him.
Chu Yan looked at Lingling with a smile and said, "The little princess looks very much like the Prince Regent. Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a lovely daughter."
Lingling rolled her eyes at Chu Yan and said, "Daddy, I hate him!"
Lu Ze said to Lingling, "Don't be so rude."
Lingling said: "I just don't like him, I don't like him."
Lu Ze said to Lingling, "Lingling, be good and stop making such a fuss."
Lingling got down from her chair and sat on Lu Ze's other side, chatting with the Shen family's patriarch. "Are you Uncle Linlin's father?"
Patriarch Shen chuckled and said, "Yes."
Lingling said, "Then you should ask Uncle Linlin to be nicer to my aunt. Children listen to their fathers the most, but Lingling listens to her mother the most, and then to her father."
Patriarch Shen listened to Lingling's innocent words and smiled faintly.
Lu Ze said to Chu Yan, "My daughter is rude. I hope Patriarch Chu will forgive me."
Chu Yan said: "The little princess is innocent and naive, I won't mind."
After drinking some wine, Chu Yan stood up and said he was going to change clothes. He walked through a courtyard gate and saw Ye Li squatting on the steps. He looked down at him and tightened his grip.
Ye Li smelled alcohol and looked up at Chu Yan. She stood up and bowed, watching Chu Yan's back getting farther and farther away, and her heart ached.
The Shen family's housekeeper came to distribute wedding money to the servants and gave a handful to Ye Li. Ye Li took it and thanked him. Then he heard two servants who received wedding money say, "This young master got so much wedding money for his wedding."
"That's not a lot at all. You don't know that when Miss Ning married Master Chu, she gave each servant one ounce of silver."
"Master Chu is naturally wealthy, and Miss Ning is the daughter of both the Ning and Yang families, and she has countless noble bloodlines."
…
Lingling went to the bridal chamber to see Lu Baozhu. After holding back her tears for a whole day, she couldn't help crying when they were about to separate again.
Chen Nian persuaded Lingling from the side, "Lingling, hurry up and go. Your uncle Linlin has been waiting outside for a long time."
"Auntie, woo woo woo, auntie."
Lu Baozhu also shed tears and said, "Auntie will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Be good and don't cry. Auntie can't bear to leave you either."
Outside, Ye Li hurried in and said, "Xiao Man from the Princess's Mansion said that the princess has given birth. Little Princess Lingling, let's go back quickly."
Lingling was reluctant at first, but when she heard that her mother was about to give birth, she still chose her mother and kept asking to go back.
In the princess's mansion.
Qi Yuning gave birth to this baby very quickly. Not long after she had dinner, she was walking in the yard when she felt her water broke.
Not long after the midwife arrived, she didn't feel any pain for long before the baby was born safely. Qi Yuning was puzzled by how quickly the baby was born, but it was much easier than when Lingling was born.
The midwife came to Qi Yuning with the swaddling clothes and said, "Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess. It's a little prince weighing seven kilograms."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and said, "Isn't she my sister?"
Although the birth was quick, it also drained a lot of Qi Yuning's energy. She looked at the baby weakly and confirmed that it was a son. For a moment, she was a little worried that Lingling would cry.
The midwife saw that Qi Yuning didn't seem very happy, so she asked, "Princess, don't you want a young master?"
Qi Yuning looked at her well-behaved son who had only cried once and said, "My son likes her too, but his sister likes his younger sister more. She's already sad enough that her aunt is getting married today, and she'd be even sadder without her younger sister."
"Yu Ning."
Lu Ze hurried in and saw a swaddling baby beside Qi Yuning. He asked, "Has the baby been born?"
Qi Yuning said: "My son is considerate and didn't let me suffer too much."
Lu Ze gently picked up the child beside him and looked at the little baby's face. The little baby might have sensed his father coming and half-opened his eyes. Lu Ze smiled at Qi Yuning and said, "This child looks like you."
"Mother, brother." Lingling came in from outside and walked up to Lu Ze. Looking at the little baby, she didn't dare to go forward.
Qi Yuning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lingling's happy expression. Fortunately, Lingling didn't ask for a younger sister anymore.
Lu Ze rocked the child in his arms gently, looked at Qi Yuning beside him, and reached out to hold Qi Yuning's hand tightly. At the age of 26, he had his beloved, a son and a daughter, and his life was perfect.
Lu Ze lowered his head and gently kissed Qi Yuning on the forehead.
Seeing this, Lingling also kissed Qi Yuning on the side of her face, "Mother, dear."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze, Lingling, and her newborn baby in front of her, and felt that no amount of power or money could buy the preciousness of this moment.
Qi Yuning asked Lu Ze, "What name should we give the child?"
Lingling looked up and said, "Squab! Squab sounds good."
Qi Yuning said, "You can't name things after food."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "How about calling him Zhixiu?"
Qi Yuning said, "Lu Zhixiu, the road ahead is long and arduous. It just so happens that his cousin's name is Qi Zhiyuan."
