Qi Yuning spent the whole day planning the supplies to be sent to North City.
Although Ping was just pregnant, Qi Yuning was eager to prepare everything the child would need from birth to one year old.
With Lingling around, they knew in advance that the baby in Aping's belly was a boy, so they sent cloths and other supplies to the north city for the child, and everything was mainly for boys.
When Lu Ze returned from his duties that evening, he saw several wooden boxes filled with things for the baby and Miss Ping in Qi Yuning's courtyard. He took one look and said, "Although you know Miss Ping is pregnant with a boy, she doesn't know that. You've given her all things for a boy. Miss Ping will definitely be suspicious."
Qi Yuning hadn't considered this. "That's true. Why not add some girly stuff? After all, we'll have a niece in the future."
Qi Yuning naturally hoped that the Qi family would have many descendants, and the more children the better.
Qi Yuning thought for a moment and said, "My nephew's birthday should be in July or August, which is the time of summer or autumn. I can go to North City to see my nephew then."
Lu Ze said, "Instead of going to such great lengths to send things to Beicheng, I think it would be better to let Miss Ping come to Shengjing City to recuperate. After all, the climate in Beicheng is not as good as that in the Central Plains of Shengjing.
Even if you send a skilled doctor from Shengjing, he won't be as good as the imperial physician in the palace. Even the best midwives in Shengjing won't want to give up the wealth and luxury of the nobles in Shengjing and go to the North City."
Qi Yuning felt that what Lu Ze said made sense. The Fuyi Clinic was the property of Prince Qi's Mansion, so it was not difficult to find two experienced and skilled doctors.
But if you want to find experienced midwives who specialize in delivering babies for the nobles in Shengjing City, you can count them on two hands. These midwives have served countless nobles and have superb midwifery skills.
Even if Prince Qi's Mansion intervened, these midwives might not be willing to go to North City for several months.
Instead of looking for a few midwives with less experience than them, it would be better to let Miss Aping come to Shengjing. At least the Prince Qi's Mansion in Shengjing is much more spacious than the Prince Qi's Mansion in Beicheng.
However, if Miss Ping gave birth in Shengjing, her brother would not be able to be with her.
After thinking about it, Qi Yuning still asked Chunfen to send the doctor and midwife to Beicheng. When they arrived in Beicheng, he asked Qi Yuanan to decide whether to let Miss Aping come to Shengjing City to give birth.
Chunfen and the doctor and midwife went to North City without delay for two days.
Qi Yuning has been in high spirits these past two days, and he has been handling the account books and official business very quickly.
It happened to be the birthday party of Old Lady Qin at the Marquis Qin's Mansion. Qi Yuning didn't want to go at first, but when she thought about how Qin Feng and Lu Ze were good brothers, and that Lu Ze would definitely go to Qin Feng's grandmother's birthday party, she took Lingling with her.
Early in the morning, when Lu Ze got up, he was already used to Qi Yuning lying in his arms.
Qi Yuning, who usually has a dignified and aloof demeanor, is just like a quiet and obedient kitten when she falls asleep.
Looking at the beautiful face in his arms, Lu Ze took a deep breath and recited the Heart Sutra in his mind to calm his ungentlemanly mind.
Qi Yuning whimpered, almost breaking Lu Ze's concentration, and he had no choice but to recite Buddhist scriptures.
Qi Yuning listened to the sound of chanting Buddha's name and arrived at the princess's mansion in a half-asleep and half-dream state.
In Princess Pingrou's mansion, the sounds of music and ceremony were lively. Qi Yuning saw a pair of exquisite dragon and phoenix wedding candles placed on the Eight Immortals Table in front of the main hall of the princess's mansion. The guests on both sides were waiting for the newlyweds to come to the hall.
Qi Yuning was standing in the crowd wearing a red wedding dress, but the groom was nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be that this groom has become a monk again?"
"I saw Prince Lu running towards Xianglin Temple."
Qi Yuning felt cold all over, and in his daze, his dream changed, and he arrived at a place with the sound of Buddhist chants. In front of the yellow-walled temple, there were words written on them: "Namo Amitabha".
Qi Yuning entered and saw Lu Ze kneeling in front of the Buddha in a red robe.
The bald little donkey Lu Yun, who was shaving Lu Ze's head with a razor, said, "Brother, I told you a long time ago that you couldn't marry Qi Yuning. Fortunately, you woke up in time and converted to Buddhism."
"Lu Ze!" Qi Yuning stepped forward and looked at the kneeling Lu Ze. "Don't you want to marry me anymore?"
Lu Ze ignored her and just muttered Buddhist scriptures. Qi Yuning was so angry that she felt like she was about to be reborn. "Lu Ze!"
Qi Yuning woke up from a nightmare, and it took her a long time to realize it was just a nightmare. But when she heard Lu Ze reciting the Heart Sutra, she suddenly opened her eyes, "You really want to become a monk? You're even reciting Buddhist scriptures?"
It turned out that the sound of her chanting was not from her dream. "Lu Ze, you are not allowed to chant the sutras."
Lu Ze listened to Qi Yuning's voice, and the ungentlemanly thoughts that had finally calmed down came back to him. "Yuning."
Qi Yuning listened to Lu Ze's hoarse voice and frowned, "What's wrong with you? Maybe Lingling's illness has healed, and you've caught a cold too?"
Qi Yuning reached out and touched Lu Ze's forehead, and it was quite hot.
Lu Zelian stood up and said, "I'm going to the side room."
Lu Ze got up and went to the side room. Qi Yuning always felt that Lu Ze was weird. He recited Buddhist scriptures early in the morning, and when she woke up, he said he wanted to go to the side room.
Qi Yuning stood up and followed Lu Ze to the side room. "Lu Ze, if you don't want to marry me in the future, you can tell me as soon as possible. But if you really dare to become a monk like your bald brother, I will die with you and that little bald brother even if it means death."
"I have no plans to become a monk." Lu Ze said in a deep voice.
Qi Yuning followed Lu Ze into the side courtyard and asked, "Then why are you chanting Buddhist scriptures so early in the morning?"
Lu Ze whispered in Qi Yuning's ear, "Yuning, I'm at the age of full vigor and vitality. When my beloved is in my arms, I can only recite Buddhist scriptures to calm my wandering thoughts."
