Lu Ze had never expected Qin Feng to be so infatuated, but this Miss Ping was indeed pretty. Ignoring her eyes that were similar to his own, it was obvious that she was also a peerless beauty.
It would be difficult for such a peerless beauty to have a good place to go when she is fleeing from the disaster with only her aunt by her side.
After Lu Ze left Qin's residence, he went to Prince Qi's residence.
When they arrived at Prince Qi's mansion, Lingling had already woken up and was obediently learning to write at the desk. Lu Ze said, "You can rest for two days if you are sick. You don't need to practice calligraphy."
Lingling looked up at Lu Ze and said, "But Lingling wants to learn a thousand words as soon as possible so that she can have brothers and sisters sooner!
Mom promised Lingling that once Lingling knows a thousand words, she'll have a brother or sister!
Lu Ze chuckled. It would take a long time for Lingling to have a brother or sister. It would take at least six years.
Lu Ze took a piece of rice paper and picked up the brush on the desk to sketch the portrait of Ah Ping that he had just seen on the rice paper.
Lu Ze was concentrating on painting.
Qi Yuning walked over to Lu Ze and saw that he was drawing a young girl. She asked angrily, "Who is this?"
Lu Ze raised his eyes and said, "Qin Feng's sweetheart asked me to help him find her."
Qi Yuning took a closer look and said, "It seems that Lu Baozhu is right."
"Huh?" Lu Ze asked in confusion.
Qi Yuning said, "I still have to worry about you and Qin Feng. Why does Qin Feng's sweetheart look a bit like you?"
"The eyes are only slightly similar. Covering them doesn't make them look alike anymore." Lu Ze chuckled. "Besides, this is a portrait. Maybe the real person doesn't look like me."
Lingling stood up and said, "Lingling wants to see the portrait too."
Qi Yuning smiled and said to Lu Ze, "Why don't you show Lingling the portrait? Maybe Lingling knows Aunt Qin."
"Aunt Qin?" Lingling tilted her head and asked, "But Lingling didn't know there was an Aunt Qin."
Lu Ze asked, "Doesn't your uncle Qin Feng have an aunt at home?"
"No," Lingling said, "Uncle Qin Feng doesn't have an aunt at home. Lingling wants to see the portrait that Daddy drew, ahem."
Qi Yuning saw Lingling coughing and said, "Go eat first, then take some loquat paste, and then look at the portrait. Why is your cough getting worse day by day?"
Lingling was coughing violently and sniffing her nose, so she didn't ask to see the portrait anymore.
Loquat paste is sweet, and Lingling likes it.
After dinner, Lingling forgot about the portrait.
Lu Ze walked to the desk and folded the portrait. He then walked to the door and handed it to Deqing, saying, "Tell our people to keep an eye on the girl in the painting."
Deqing took it and replied, "Yes."
It was getting dark. After Lingling got on the bed, she played games with Lu Ze for a while and then slept on the outside of the bed.
"Lingling will sleep on the outermost side today."
Qi Yuning was still washing up behind the screen. When she heard Lingling's words, she said, "No, you'll fall down."
"No, Lingling has to sleep on the outside anyway, so that if Daddy leaves, Lingling will know."
Qi Yuning let her hair down, walked up to Lingling and said, "Then Daddy can sleep in the innermost part, and you can sleep in the middle."
Lingling waved her little finger and shook her head, saying, "If Mommy leaves like this, Lingling won't know about it. That's why Lingling has to sleep on the outside, ahem!"
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling coughing violently, but did not argue with her, fearing that her crying would make her voice even hoarser, as she was already complaining about a sore throat.
Lingling pushed Qi Yuning to the innermost part and let Lu Ze lie in the middle. Lingling hugged Lu Ze's arm before closing her eyes, fearing that Lu Ze would leave again.
After Lingling fell asleep, Qi Yuning still didn't feel sleepy at all. Unlike last night when she was very sleepy, she didn't dare to move at all and just curled up in the bed.
Lu Ze's breathing was audible, and Qi Yuning was not at all sleepy. She chatted with Lu Ze to dispel her nervousness and asked, "Whose family is the girl that Qin Feng likes?"
Lu Ze said, "She's just a girl from the mountains of Shancheng. She seems to have no parents and only an aunt."
"Qin Feng is, after all, the youngest Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the young Marquis of the Qin Marquisate. If he falls in love with a mountain girl in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Marquis Qin and his wife to pass the test."
Lu Ze said, "What's more important is that Miss A Ping is hard to find. After the drought in Shancheng, Miss A Ping and her aunt fled to an unknown place. Dasheng is a vast territory, so how easy is it to find Miss A Ping?"
Qi Yuning asked, "You said that girl's name is Ping? Which Ping?"
Lu Ze said, "Qin Feng doesn't know which Ping she is, or what her surname is. He only knows that she is from the mountains of Shancheng, and she has only one aunt. They met three years ago when Shancheng was hit by a drought. Later, Miss Ping fled Shancheng and her whereabouts are unknown."
Qi Yuning thought for a moment and said, "Then you should tell Qin Feng to give up on this idea."
"Why?" Lu Ze asked, "Do you know Miss A Ping?"
"Well, it's really a coincidence. This Miss A Ping you mentioned is my brother's concubine. Tell Qin Feng to stop thinking about Miss A Ping."
Lu Ze had previously heard Qi Yuning mention that Qi Yu'an had a concubine, but he didn't expect that it was the girl A Ping that Qin Feng was looking for.
Qi Yuning was originally puzzled as to why her brother would take a refugee girl as his concubine.
Today I finally understand that this Miss Aping is quite good-looking. Judging from her portrait alone, she can be considered a great beauty in Shengjing City.
Lu Ze said, "Qin Feng really has no choice but to give up."
After all, she is Prince Qi's concubine. Even if this Miss Aping has a hard time in Prince Qi's mansion, it is not something Qin Feng can covet.
As the sky grew darker, Qi Yuning gradually began to feel sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
