Lu Ze said hoarsely, "Lu Yun is not a good son-in-law. He is irresponsible and treats the lives of the entire Lu family as a joke. He disregarded His Majesty and your dignity and became a monk. If the princess forgives him and still misses him in her heart, it is really wrong."
Qi Yuning smelled the jealousy coming from Lu Ze and chuckled softly, "Prince said he wanted me to marry you willingly. What about Prince? Are you willing to marry me?"
Lu Ze pursed his lips slightly, and then he heard Lingling exclaim, "Cao Cao has appeared! Daddy and Mommy, Lingling has learned how to play Huarong Dao."
Lingling trotted over, Qi Yuning held Lingling in his arms and kissed her little face, "Lingling is so great!"
Lingling smiled and said, "Mother kissing is also great."
Lu Ze looked at Lingling's smiling face and said to Qi Yuning, "I am willing to do this. It has nothing to do with Lingling or the position of the temple minister. I just want to marry the princess."
Qi Yuning blushed deeply. After putting Lingling down, she used the back of her hand to cool her face.
Lu Ze approached Qi Yuning step by step and said, "Yuning, don't give Lu Yun another chance."
Qi Yuning heard the word "Yuning" from Lu Ze's mouth and looked up at Lu Ze. If she had known that the little bald donkey was so useful, she should have gone up the mountain to meet the little bald donkey sooner.
Seeing Lu Ze so close to her, Qi Yuning coughed and said, "It's late, Prince, you should go back."
Lu Ze looked down at Qi Yuning's blushing cheeks and smiled gently. It turned out that Qi Yuning, who was always bold, was also so easily embarrassed.
Lingling hugged Lu Ze's thigh and said, "No, Lingling hasn't seen Daddy in a long time. Daddy, please continue to play with Lingling!"
Lu Ze smiled faintly and touched Lingling's head. In fact, it is true that a father's status is determined by his daughter.
Qi Yuning coughed and said, "Daddy still has some official business to attend to. I'll play with you tomorrow."
Lingling said, "Mom, please don't lie. It's already dark, how could Dad still have official business to attend to?"
Lu Ze picked up Lingling and said, "Then Daddy will have dinner with you before we leave, okay?"
Lingling nodded her head, "Yeah."
The dishes for dinner were all what Qi Yuning and Lingling liked. Lu Ze didn't seem to be picky about food and ate everything.
Lingling didn't eat much today, perhaps because she was afraid that Lu Ze would leave after dinner. She even lost interest in her favorite turtle.
After dinner, Lingling started to act coquettishly and asked Lu Ze to hold her, "Daddy, don't go."
Qi Yuning had discovered the pattern of Lingling's clamoring for Lu Ze. If she could see Lu Ze often and have a good time with him, she would definitely not clamor for Lu Ze at night.
But if she hadn't seen Lu Ze for a while and suddenly saw him at night, Lingling would definitely make a fuss about being with Lu Ze.
Lu Ze patted Lingling on the back and said, "Okay, Daddy won't leave. I'll wait until Lingling falls asleep."
Lingling leaned in Lu Ze's arms and returned to the room feeling listless.
Only then did Qi Yuning realize that something was wrong with Lingling.
Lingling usually never looked this listless when she was acting like a spoiled brat. Today, she was completely listless. She reached out and touched Lingling's forehead and said, "It's so hot!"
"Spring Equinox, go and get the imperial physician."
Lu Ze reached out and touched Lingling's forehead. "When I came over just now, she was playing in the snow in the yard. The sun's out now. Maybe she caught a cold?"
Lingling sneezed loudly and coughed twice, "Mommy, I want you to hold me."
Qi Yuning took the burning Lingling from Lu Ze's hands and said with great distress, "Be good, mother is here."
Lingling went into Qi Yuning's arms, "Mommy, my head hurts so much."
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and comforted her, "The imperial physician will be here soon. You'll be fine after taking the medicine."
"Lingling, don't take the medicine. It tastes so bitter! Don't take the medicine."
"Okay, no medicine."
The imperial physician arrived soon after. Seeing Lu Ze in Qi Yuning's room, he was stunned and bowed, saying, "Greetings to Master Lu, Princess Qi."
Qi Yuning said, "Imperial Physician, please take a look at Lingling. What's wrong with her?"
The imperial physician came forward and saw the sick child in Qi Yuning's arms. He stepped forward to check Lingling's pulse and said, "Little Princess, please stick out your tongue."
Lingling said: "My head hurts, and it hurts here too."
Lingling pointed at her throat and said, "It hurts."
The imperial physician asked Lingling to open her mouth wide, took a look, and said, "She must have caught a cold. Many children have caught colds this winter, so we need to be more careful about whether the child is warm or cold."
Qi Yuning asked, "Does that mean Lingling needs to take medicine?"
The imperial physician said, "The little princess is still young, and bitter medicine is very difficult for her. I can only give her some loquat paste and fresh bamboo juice to relieve the cough. As for reducing the fever, apply a cold towel to her forehead and neck, and apply moxa fumigation."
Qi Yuning continued, "Then I'll have to trouble the imperial physician."
"My Lady, Princess Pingrou is here."
When Qi Yuning heard that Princess Pingrou had arrived, she ordered her maid to invite the princess in.
When Princess Pingrou arrived, she asked, "I heard your family has called in the imperial physician?"
Princess Pingrou saw Lingling lying on the bed without a life, and asked with great distress, "Dear Lingling, what happened?"
"It hurts." Lingling knocked her head. "It hurts."
Princess Pingrou held Lingling's hand and said, "My poor child, don't be in pain. Grandmother is here."
Princess Pingrou took the cold handkerchief handed to her by the maid and placed it on Lingling's forehead and neck. She then skillfully fumigated Lingling with the moxa she took from the imperial physician.
With Princess Pingrou around, Qi Yuning felt much more at ease.
After Princess Pingrou finished fumigating the moxa, she looked at Qi Yuning and said, "There's no one elderly around you. You're still a child, so how can you take good care of Lingling?"
