Lu Ze said, "Baoxue has admired your Qi family since she was little, and she's always wanted to join the army. She wouldn't mind that North City is miserable and not as prosperous as Shengjing."
Qi Yuning really liked Lu Ze, her little cousin. "It would be great if Baoxue could be my sister-in-law."
Qi Yuning called over little Lingling, who was playing with a peach wood sword, and said, "Lingling, mother wants to ask you, do you know your aunt's name?"
Lu Ze smiled. It was true that Lingling had come five or six years earlier, so she naturally knew the future Princess Qi.
Lingling ran to Qi Yuning and looked up and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head and asked, "Lingling, do you know your aunt's name?"
Lingling said, "Aunt calls me Your Highness!"
Qi Yuning raised her eyes slightly and asked, "Why would my aunt call you Your Highness?"
Lingling said, "Everyone calls my aunt Your Highness."
Lu Ze squatted down in front of Lingling and asked, "Shouldn't my aunt be called Princess Qi? Don't everyone call her Princess?"
Lingling shook her head and said, "It's not Princess, it's Auntie. She's called Her Highness. It's the same as my grandmother's name, Her Highness!"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "So my brother later married the princess?"
Lu Ze nodded slightly.
In Dasheng, only princesses and princes can be called "Your Highness". If she is not called Princess Qi but "Your Highness", then she can only be a princess.
Qi Yuning said, "But your Majesty's youngest daughter, Princess Pinghe, is already 28 years old this year, eight years older than my brother. Your eldest granddaughter, Princess Wu, is 13 years old this year, seven years younger than my brother. Moreover, Princess Wu's father is the King of Shu. It's impossible that the King of Shu inherited the throne."
Lu Ze said, "It's not impossible. After all, your Qi family has 20,000 cavalrymen, which is more than enough."
Qi Yuning snorted coldly, "That Prince Lu underestimated the loyalty of our Qi family."
Lu Ze said, "That's not what I meant. I naturally believe in the loyalty of the Qi family, but if she is a princess, it can only be that the King of Shu succeeds to the throne, and Princess Wu becomes a princess."
Qi Yuning squatted down and asked Lingling, "Does Lingling know who my uncle is?"
"Uncle? Are you talking about the second uncle, the third uncle, or the fourth uncle?"
Qi Yuning said: "It's my uncle."
Lingling tilted her head and said, "There's no uncle, there's only the second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle."
Qi Yuning held her forehead and asked, "Did Lu Baozhu deliberately stay unmarried for so many years just to make me serve her sister-in-law for a few more years?"
Lu Ze: “…”
With his sister's intelligence, it is indeed possible that Lu Baozhu could do such a thing.
Lingling said, "Mom, I miss my aunt and cousin. I want to write a letter to them!"
"How can you write if you don't even know how to write... Lingling, are you talking about cousin?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling, "Lingling, you mean cousin? You have a cousin? Is the cousin the child of your uncle and aunt?"
Qi Yuning was ecstatic. The Qi family really needed a child to add some blood to this empty family.
If Lingling has a cousin, it means that the Qi family has a child!
Lingling thought Qi Yuning was very strange. "Mom, what's wrong with you? My cousin is my uncle and aunt's child. Doesn't Mom like him very much?"
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and said, "Mom, you are my favorite child."
Lingling smiled sweetly in Qi Yuning's arms and said, "Lingling knows that mother loves me the most. My cousin and Lingling look a lot like each other. Mother said that she likes my cousin because he looks like Lingling."
Lu Ze listened from the side and said, "It's impossible for you and your cousin to look alike, because you look like your father."
Lingling said, "Lingling and cousin are very similar, otherwise why would mother like cousin?"
Qi Yuning touched her nose feeling a little guilty. In fact, she would like Qi Yu'an's child no matter whether he looked like Lingling or not.
She really wanted the Qi family to be more lively and have more children.
If she didn't know when Lingling would leave, she would have wanted to change Lingling's surname to Qi. Qi Yiling sounds much better than Lu Yiling anyway.
Lingling took Qi Yuning to write a letter to her aunt and cousin. Lingling couldn't write or draw, so Lu Ze did the letter writing for her.
Lingling wrote a whole page, and all she talked about were the eating, drinking and playing things of children. By the end of writing, Lingling had fallen asleep.
Lu Ze looked at the letter and asked Qi Yuning, "Should we send this letter?"
Qi Yuning said, "Of course not. When my brother receives this letter and sees the messages about my aunt and cousin, he'll probably think I've gone crazy."
Lu Ze said, "I'll put this letter aside. You can throw it away when you have time."
Qi Yuning nodded, still immersed in joy: "I have a little nephew."
Lu Ze reminded Qi Yuning, "If Lingling has a cousin, he would have been born before September of the Dingmao year. This means your brother would also have gotten married within that year. This would make Princess Wu's age incorrect."
Qi Yuning thought about it and it made sense. Princess Wu had just turned thirteen. She couldn't possibly get married and have children before she reached the age of marriage.
Qi Yuning said, "That can't be Princess Pinghe, right? She's eight years older than my brother. And she has a good relationship with her husband. It doesn't seem like there are any signs of divorce."
Lu Ze said, "It definitely can't be Aunt Pinghe. If it is Aunt Pinghe, then wouldn't I have to call Brother Prince Qi Uncle?"
Qi Yuning said, "That's quite good. After all, you and Lu Baozhu can call me aunt, right?"
Lu Ze: "I think Aunt Pinghe has no plans to divorce."
Qi Yuning was actually curious, "Then where did the princess come from to be my brother's consort? Could it be that Your Majesty has a pearl lost in the vast ocean among the people?"
Lu Ze glared at Qi Yuning and said, "Your Majesty is definitely not such an irresponsible person. How could the royal family allow the royal bloodline to be lost?"
…
In Prince Qi's Mansion in the North City.
Ah Ping counted the days. Prince Qi had been back for five days, but he had been staying in the front yard and had never set foot in the backyard. She looked out the window with deep eyes, holding a brocade dress in her hand. She didn't feel any pain when a needle pierced her fingertips.
When the nanny saw the bleeding, she said, "Pingping."
When Ah Ping heard the sound, she realized that she was bleeding. She was afraid that the blood would stain her clothes, so she took them away repeatedly.
Mammy wiped the blood off Ping's fingertips distressedly, and said with red eyes: "Girl, you shouldn't suffer like this, you shouldn't."
