Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Lingling already calls him uncle, so even if you think it's inappropriate, he's already your cousin-in-law.
But, Lingling, when you meet them later, don't call them uncle."
Lingling raised her eyes and said, "Lingling, you must be a well-behaved child. You can't see your uncle without calling him."
Lu Ze smiled with relief, patted Lingling's head and said, "Lingling, you can call them uncle first, but you can't call them uncle yet."
Lingling nodded her head and said, "Lingling remembers it."
The Qi Wang Mansion in Beicheng seldom held banquets. When the princess came to Beicheng, she widely invited the sons and daughters of the three generals under the Qi family army to attend the banquet, and these three families did not dare to neglect them.
Wen family.
Madam Wen put an expensive red coral headpiece on Wen Yalan and said, "Yalan, you played with the princess a few times when you were young. You must seize the opportunity to make friends with the princess. Maybe the princess will like you, and you can even be lucky enough to become Prince Qi's principal wife. You are not young anymore. If you can't become Prince Qi's concubine, I'm afraid... it will be difficult for you to find another good marriage."
Wen Yalan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "The prince said that it's not appropriate for him to take a concubine since he hasn't married yet. I think the prince is already over 21 years old, so maybe he will get married next year..."
Madam Wen said, "What do you mean by not marrying a princess? That's just an excuse. When Miss Ping died, the prince even proposed a ghost marriage, wanting to marry a dead person as his princess. Fortunately, that woman was unlucky. She got pregnant but lost her life..."
"Mom, Miss Aping is still alive." Wen Yalan said.
Madam Wen frowned and said, "How come she's still alive? No wonder the prince was so grief-stricken a few days ago and invited several of our families to a banquet today..."
But you don't have to worry about Miss Ping. If she had died before, perhaps the prince would have remembered her kindness and given her the title of princess. Now that she's alive, she can only be a concubine. After all, you are different from her. You will definitely be a concubine when you enter Prince Qi's mansion."
Wen Yalan sighed softly, "I hope so."
When the Wen family and their entourage arrived at the palace, people from the Zhong and Zhu families had already arrived.
When Wen Yalan entered the backyard, she saw that the women from the Zhong and Zhu families were already there.
They were chatting with Miss Aping.
Mrs. Zhong chuckled at Ah Ping and said, "I think your baby is more like a son. A daughter in the womb is less of a worry. You've had severe morning sickness this time."
Madam Zhu said, "That's not necessarily true. My sister had severe morning sickness when she was pregnant with a daughter. But whether Miss Ping is pregnant with a boy or a girl, at least the Qi family has an heir. The spirits of old Prince Qi, Sister Liu, and General Qi will surely be pleased."
Ah Ping stroked her belly gently and said, "I prefer daughters. It would be great if they could be like Lingling and Jiang'er."
Jiang'er is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhong family and is almost four years old.
Lingling hadn't played with playmates of the same age for a long time. She was very happy to see her four-year-old sister Jiang'er. She took her own small peach wood sword and practiced with Jiang'er.
Jiang'er rarely saw such a fair and cute little girl in Beicheng, and the two children quickly became good friends. Sometimes they played with small wooden swords, and sometimes they played house with dolls.
Qi Yuning saw Jiang'er and Lingling having fun and smiled softly. When she saw Madam Wen and Wen Yalan coming over, she said, "Aunt Wen, Yalan."
Madam Wen and Wen Yalan both saluted repeatedly, "Princess."
Qi Yuning said, "No need to be so polite. Today is just a party to celebrate the New Year. It's to celebrate my sister-in-law's resurrection and her pregnancy."
When Madam Wen heard the word "sister-in-law", she said, "Princess, you can't call her sister-in-law. Miss A Ping is just a concubine."
A Ping gently stroked her lower abdomen, looked up at Mrs. Wen, then looked at Wen Yalan beside her, and lowered her head.
Qi Yuning said, "Miss Ping follows my brother, and she has no clear path to becoming a concubine, so she can't be considered a concubine. My brother plans to return to Shengjing after the New Year and ask for an imperial decree to grant Miss Ping the title of princess. It's only a matter of time before she'll be called sister-in-law."
Madam Wen was surprised and said, "Princess, she is just an orphan from a mountain village. How can she be worthy of Prince Qi? Even if Prince Qi's wife is not a princess of the royal family, she must at least be the daughter of a noble family, right?"
Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other. Their three families had known each other for more than 20 years, and Mrs. Wen really had not improved at all compared to when she was young.
The Princess and Prince Qi have already decided on this matter, so can't the wives of their subordinates have their say?
Madam Zhu said, "We are a family of military commanders, unlike those civil officials who only care about bloodlines. The prince and princess must have good vision."
Mrs. Zhong looked at Ah Ping and said, "When I first met Miss Ah Ping, I vaguely felt that she had a noble aura. I didn't expect that she was so noble beyond words."
After becoming the Princess of Qi, didn't she become one of the richest women in Dasheng?
Qi Yuning said, "Aunt Zhu and Aunt Zhong are right. I remember Uncle Wen was just born in the countryside. At that time, because Uncle Wen was an orphan, my grandfather picked him up and taught him martial arts. Now Uncle Wen has become a famous general. It shows that judging a military general by his family background is really a joke!"
Madam Wen's face was embarrassed, and she smiled awkwardly and said, "The princess is right."
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhu accompanied A Ping to talk about some things to be careful about during pregnancy and childbirth. Qi Yuning was listening and learning from them.
Although Lingling is so old, she has never given birth to a child.
Mrs. Zhong said, "The first three months and the last three months of this child's life are the most important. Miss Ping must be extremely careful during this period."
Madam Wen said, "This Miss Ping is pregnant, and the prince has no one to care for him. Since the prince is going back to the capital to report to His Majesty about marrying a princess, shouldn't he also put a concubine on the agenda?"
