Qi Yuan returned to the bedroom in the front yard, frowning. He didn't know what he was angry about.
Ah Ping was right, he had to marry a princess eventually.
Your Majesty has already asked about his marriage. By the end of next year at the latest, he must choose a daughter of a noble family as the Princess of Qi.
But what Aping said made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
How could the future Princess Qi feel unfair? How could the mistress of such a huge Qi Palace be so petty? How could she feel unfair because of a concubine and a bastard's son?
After thinking it over, Qi Yuan went to the backyard again.
In the backyard, Ah Ping was about to rest when she saw Qi Yu'an coming back. She was startled for a moment and stood up to salute: "Your Highness."
Qi Yu'an said coldly: "A Ping, my future princess will be born into a noble family, virtuous and generous, and will not be unable to tolerate a concubine's eldest son. The future princess should not be someone you, a concubine, can arbitrarily speculate about."
Ah Ping was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red with shame.
Qi Yu'an added, "Remember your identity. You are nothing more than a concubine. Don't worry about the princess's thoughts. A daughter raised in an aristocratic family is different from a commoner like you."
Ah Ping's eyes were filled with tears, and her throat was full of soreness. She looked at the blurry Qi Yu'an in front of her and said, "I will remember my identity."
Seeing her tears, Qi Yu'an felt even angrier, but he also felt that he should ignore her for a few days this time and not let her become spoiled.
After Qi Yu'an left in a huff, A Ping felt a chill all over her body. She held onto the wooden bed and vomited, and her lower abdomen ached.
Seeing this, the nanny supported A Ping and said, "Ping Ping."
Ah Ping shed tears and said, "Aunt, I don't want to stay here anymore. Can we leave the palace?"
"Pingping..." the nanny sighed, "Pingping, you can't leave the palace."
"Why?" A Ping looked at the nanny in confusion.
The nanny said helplessly: "Pingping, only in the Qi Wang Mansion in North City can you be well protected and live in peace."
Ah Ping sat on the bed, her eyes red as she said, "But Auntie, you also saw how the prince disliked me just now. I can't let my child be born and be disliked because of me..."
"Aunt, can we leave? I don't want to see the prince and princess being affectionate..."
Ah Ping held Ma's hand and said, "Aunt, can we go back to our small village in Shanzhou?"
"No!" Mammy looked at A Ping and said, "As long as the prince doesn't drive you away, you can stay in Prince Qi's mansion in North City. Pingping, only this way can you stay alive. Nothing is more important than staying alive."
Ah Ping cried bitterly in Mammy's arms, "Auntie, how could he say that to me? It's been three years, three years. Doesn't he know who I am?"
Now that the princess has not yet married, Qi Yu'an has already defended her, thinking that she is maliciously inferring that the princess is not virtuous enough.
But Aping's only thought was to sincerely consider the princess and think that the princess should not be made uncomfortable because of having a illegitimate son.
Qi Yu'an had misunderstood her so much. She really didn't want to stay in the palace any longer and be misunderstood and scolded by Qi Yu'an...
Nanny sighed with great distress.
…
It snowed in Shengjing City for a whole day and night. When Qi Yuning got up the next morning, he found that the snow outside was half a foot thick.
Lingling saw the white snow outside and sighed, "Mom, darling, Lingling wants to go outside and play in the snow."
Qi Yuning smiled calmly and let Lingling go out to play in the snow while she looked at the account book.
After a few days, Qi Yuning never saw Lu Ze again.
The snow outside had not melted yet, and Lingling was playing in the snow with the maids. She hadn't asked for Lu Ze for a few days, and Qi Yuning was unwilling to go find Lu Ze.
On the contrary, Princess Pingrou and Lu Baozhu would come to the palace to see Lingling from time to time.
Qi Yuning received an imperial decree from the Empress to summon her. When she entered the palace, she was still wondering what the Empress meant by letting her enter.
It was not until I arrived at the Central Palace that I realized it was all about Song Heqing.
The Queen smiled softly at Qi Yuning and said, "The Crown Prince told me a few days ago about the poetry of the Song family's daughter at a poetry gathering. Her grandfather was known as a Confucian general because of his brilliant literary talent. It seems that she is also better than her father. I heard that she is a good friend of yours?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, He Qing and I have been sisters for many years."
The Queen asked, "I heard that this child lost her biological mother when she was young, and her stepmother is an intolerant person."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "When the old master was around, Madam Song was in better shape. After the old master passed away... well, it was He Qing's own cleverness that kept her from suffering at the hands of her stepmother."
The Queen said, "She's a child with a miserable fate. The Crown Prince rarely mentions the girl on his own initiative. Since she's your good sister, I think she must be a good girl too."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Queen, He Qing is a good girl who knows etiquette and is sensible."
The Queen smiled and said, "Then I will grant your Highness the Crown Prince's wish."
Qi Yuning smiled lightly. No matter what happened in the future, it was a happy thing that Song Heqing could get what he wanted.
The Queen specifically summoned her to the palace for questioning, which meant that even if Song Heqing was not the Crown Princess, she should be the Crown Princess.
After coming out of the inner palace, Qi Yuning met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to the Queen's palace.
Qi Yuning carefully examined the prince's face. In fact, the prince looked like Qin's uncle. It is said that nephews resemble their uncles. It seems that her and Lu Ze's speculations may really be nonsense.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhao Chong smiled at Qi Yuning and said, "My princess always fears the cold, why don't you wear more clothes today?"
