Lu Ze recalled that when he saw Qi Yuning on Longhua Mountain during the day, his eyes were filled with cold hatred, and it seemed that he hated the Lu family.
Even if she had no engagement, Princess Qi would never marry into the Lu family again because of her pride.
Princess Pingrou looked at her eldest son. Her eldest son was very good at growing up. He picked out the good looks of her and Prince Consort Lu. It was not her boasting as a mother, but her son's appearance was the most handsome man in Shengjing. Which girl would not be tempted?
"No, my son is so handsome, Princess Qi will definitely take a fancy to you!"
Princess Pingrou said earnestly, "Ze'er, in order to avoid being demoted to Cangzhou, our family of four is counting on you to marry the princess."
Lu Ze said, "Mother, breaking off the engagement is no joke. The Guan family has been kind to Grandmother, so how could I repay that kindness with hatred and break off the engagement? Tomorrow morning, after court, I will go to Prince Qi's mansion to apologize and present gifts until Princess Qi calms down."
Princess Pingrou sighed and became anxious. She tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, fearing that she would really be demoted to Cangzhou.
Unlike Princess Pingrou who couldn't sleep all night because of worry about being demoted, Qi Yuning slept soundly.
Especially in the second half of the night, it was cold after the autumn, but Qi Yuning always felt like there was a small stove in his arms, warm and fragrant, and he slept more comfortably.
The maid Lichun came in at 3:30 am and called Qi Yuning to get up. As soon as she opened the curtain, she was startled, "Princess, Princess!"
Qi Yuning woke up slowly after hearing the maid's voice. She was a little dazed for a moment, then she opened her eyes and asked, "Lichun, what are you doing so noisy so early in the morning?"
Lichun pointed at Qi Yuning's arms and trembled as he said, "Princess, Princess, in your arms..."
When Qi Yuning lowered his head, he saw a little girl about three years old sleeping sweetly in his arms.
The little girl had long hair and a chubby round face. She was wearing a light pink inner garment.
Qi Yuning looked at Lichun in surprise, "Where did this child come from?"
Lichun was also very curious. "Last night, after I waited for the princess to rest, I stood guard at the door with Guyu, and we never saw any children come in..."
A little girl suddenly appeared on the bed, and Qi Yuning was very surprised.
If it hadn't hurt to pinch herself, she would have thought she was still dreaming.
Guyu and her group of maids came in with basins of water to help Qi Yuning wash up. They were slightly surprised to see the child on Qi Yuning's bed.
Qi Yuning reached out and touched her soft little face as she slept peacefully.
The little girl moved her hands after her face was touched. She clenched her cute and soft little hands into fists and rubbed her sleepy face.
When the little girl put down her fist and opened her eyes, Qi Yuning finally saw her appearance clearly.
The little girl had a pair of peach blossom eyes and a tall nose, and she looked exactly like Lu Ze when he was young.
However, Lu Ze's appearance was more solemn and steady, while the little girl's appearance was more lovely.
"Mother, dear!"
When the little girl saw Qi Yuning, she stretched out her arms, wrapped them around Qi Yuning's neck, and threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms.
Qi Yuning was stunned when she saw a child with a baby voice calling her mother, "What did you call me?"
Lichun kept saying, "Where did you get this child from? Don't you dare to yell and tarnish my princess's reputation. My princess is still unmarried and just turned eighteen. There's no way she could give birth to a child as old as you."
The little girl heard the voice and turned around and called out, "Auntie Lichun, Auntie Guyu!"
Qi Yuning was surprised to see the little girl in her arms, "Do you know Lichun and Guyu?"
The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, mother, dear."
Qi Yuning held the little girl in her arms and could smell the fragrance of milk. She rubbed the little girl's head and asked, "What's your name?"
The little girl smiled sweetly: "Mommy, have you even forgotten Lingling's name? Lingling's name is Lu Yiling."
Hearing the word Yi Ling, Qi Yuning began to look closely at the little girl's appearance.
Yiling, when her mother died, she was already carrying an eight-month-old baby in her belly.
At that time, the imperial doctors all said it was a younger sister. Qi Yuning was only four years old at that time, and her mother named the younger sister in her belly, Yiling.
However, the younger sister was never born, and few people knew about her name Yi Ling.
Qi Yuning had thought that if she had a daughter in the future, she would definitely name her Yi Ling, and this little girl was also named Yi Ling...
Qi Yuning ruffled Xiao Ling'er's hair: "Lingling, what's your father's name?"
Xiao Ling'er tilted her head and said, "Just call me daddy."
Qi Yuning saw that the child was too young and thought that he would not be able to get anything out of him. The child's appearance was too strange.
Qi Yuning noticed that Xiao Lingling looked like a member of the Lu family and had the surname Lu. Could it be that Lu Baozhu was behind this again?
Hiding the doubts in his heart, Qi Yuning thought about dressing Xiao Lingling after he finished washing up. However, there had been no children in the Prince Qi's Mansion for a long time, so he had to ask Lichun to go to the street to buy clothes for Xiao Lingling.
Lichun was on a fast track and bought clothes and shoes in less than fifteen minutes. Little Lingling was really cute in her pink skirt and double buns.
Qi Yuning was a little envious of Lingling's parents. They were truly blessed to have a daughter like them.
Xiao Lingling looked up at Qi Yuning and said, "Mom, where is Daddy?"
As Qi Yuning walked out the door with Lingling, she met Qi Yu'an who came to look for her.
Qi Yu'an saw his sister leading a three-year-old girl out and asked, "Sister, whose child is this?"
"uncle!"
When Xiao Lingling saw Qi Yuan in front of her, she smiled sweetly, let go of Qi Yuning's hand, and threw herself towards Qi Yuan.
