"Mother, I won't talk to you anymore. The rice seedlings need to be planted in this field today. I'm going to go plant them first!"
Having said that, Lu Yiling went down to the fields again.
Qi Yuning was looking at the fields. When he arrived at the Fang family, Fang Daru was playing chess with a young scholar. When he saw Qi Yuning, he came over and said, "Princess Qi."
Qi Yuning asked: "Do you know me?"
"When you married Lu Ze, I met the princess once."
Qi Yuning presented the gift and said, "This is a small gift for you, sir. I'd like to trouble you to teach my daughter Lingling. However, my daughter Lingling has always been pampered and spoiled by her family. She is not suitable for farming. The Lu family will not need her to farm in the future..."
Fang Daru said, "Princess Qi, you're used to being pampered and spoiled, but do you think you can protect the little princess forever? Everyone is subject to misfortunes at any time, and the little princess can't live under someone else's wings forever. Princess Qi, do you want Lingling to only rely on her mother's family's power in the future, or be able to stand on her own?"
Qi Yuning said, "Then there's no need to go to the fields to farm."
Fang Daru chuckled faintly and said, "Going to the fields to farm is just to temper her utilitarianism. Princess, do you know that she only wants to enter the court and seize power?"
Qi Yuning said: "She did say that, but it was just a joke."
"To me, she doesn't seem to be joking. She not only looks like her father, but also has the same ambitions. However, Lingling makes no secret of her ambitions. She is very utilitarian and power-hungry, which is not a good thing for her status. Your Majesty treats her like a little niece now, but Lingling will grow up one day, and Your Majesty will not be as indulgent towards her as he is now."
"Princess Qi, you also hope that your daughter can have a bright future, right?"
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Mothers all over the world don't ask for a great future for their children, as long as they are happy."
Fang Daru smiled and said, "For Lingling, she would be happy if she could enter the court. However, she is too utilitarian. It is not feasible for her to want to fly before she can even walk. She needs to take things step by step. I let her farm in the hope that she can understand that the harvest comes step by step and that quick success is not acceptable.
Princess Qi, you can rest assured to leave your daughter with me. I will teach Princess Lingling well."
Qi Yuning has always doted on her daughter. Even though she was extremely reluctant to see Lingling suffer in the village, Lingling was willing, so she could only follow Lingling's wishes.
While Lingling was planting rice, Qi Yuning went to see Lingling's house. Her house was extremely small, not even a bit bigger than the one in Yuemi Courtyard. Qi Yuning didn't like the bed, quilt or anything else.
Qi Yuning simply ordered people to go to the nearby street to buy a few silk quilts for Lu Yiling to change into. When they were done, it was almost dusk.
When Qi Yuning left, she saw Lu Yiling sitting on a small bamboo chair between the ridges of the field, letting Chu Che wash her feet.
Seeing this, Qi Yuning frowned and said, "Lingling."
