Early in the morning, it started to rain outside again.
As the Qingming Festival approaches, there is also a lot of rain.
After Qi Yuning settled the money for the wedding, he dealt with the account books and took Lingling to the Song Mansion in the afternoon.
Song Heqing's wedding date is approaching, and the Song family is filled with joy.
Qi Yuning entered Song Heqing's room and met two teaching maids.
Seeing Qi Yuning was curious about the identity of the nanny in front of her, Song Heqing said, "This is the nanny my mother hired to teach me the rules."
Qi Yuning said: "He Qing, I want to talk to you alone."
Song Heqing asked the two teaching maids and her own maid to go down.
Qi Yuning handed Lingling to Lichun and Chunfen, "Take Lingling to play in the yard."
Song Heqing watched Lingling leave and chuckled, "Lingling is getting cuter and cuter. It's hot now, and it's really fun to see her wearing a little skirt. It makes me want to have a girl as cute as her."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "My Lingling is not only cute, but also very considerate and well-behaved."
Song Heqing asked: "Yuning, is Lingling really your child with the prince?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
Seeing that Qi Yuning was unwilling to tell the truth, Song Heqing didn't say anything more.
Qi Yuning poured a cup of tea for Song Heqing and said, "Heqing, you and I have been sisters for many years, so I will be frank with you. Heqing, the prince is not a good man, you cannot marry him."
Song Heqing took the tea that Qi Yuning brought over and said, "Yuning, I have made up my mind. I will only marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this life. No matter what, I will only marry him!"
Qi Yuning asked: "Even if he can't ascend to the throne?"
Song Heqing took a sip of tea and said, "Don't laugh at me. I hope he can't ascend to the throne."
Qi Yuning raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Song Heqing said: "If he was just an idle prince, maybe he and I could be as loving as Prince Duan and his wife. Even if there are concubines, there will be no power struggles between the sisters in the backyard, and I won't have to worry about my future children."
"I never wanted to be a crown princess, let alone the master of the six palaces. I just wanted my husband to be Zhao Chong. It's that simple."
Qi Yuning said: "He doesn't deserve your sincerity towards him. Do you remember that you came to the backyard to look for me on my brother's wedding day a few days ago?"
Song Heqing nodded and said, "Well, I wanted to talk to you at that time, but I heard from the maid that you were catching up on your sleep, so I left."
"That day when you left my courtyard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be drunk and lured Kai Lichun into my room." Qi Yuning looked at Song Heqing and said, "Heqing, he is really not worthy of your true love."
Song Heqing looked at Qi Yuning in surprise and said, "Yuning, I don't think His Highness did this on purpose. He might not be pretending to be drunk, but really is drunk..."
Qi Yuning said: "I treat you as my best sister and friend. Do you really want to marry a pervert who broke into your best sister's room? Are you still going to defend him?"
Song Heqing asked: "Yu Ning, is there any misunderstanding?"
Qi Yuning said: "There is no misunderstanding."
Song Heqing pursed her lips and said, "Yuning, I think the Crown Prince may have been drunk and confused for a while. In the end, he didn't do anything to you, right?"
Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Song Heqing and said, "You knew his actions clearly, but you still made excuses for him. You are simply hopeless!"
Song Heqing drank up the water in the cup and said, "My mother died when I was young, my stepmother was unkind, and there was also a concubine sister in the mansion who competed with me. My concubine sister relied on my aunt's favor and pushed me into the river during a hunt. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's rescue, I would have died.
At that time, my father still wanted to protect my concubine sister. My stepmother dared to bully me, the legitimate daughter left by the previous wife, but she did not dare to deal with my concubine sister whom my father doted on. My father and stepmother blamed me for going to the river to play by myself.
I fell into the river when I had a cold and cough. My concubine sister who pushed me into the river was fine, but I was accused of playing around and was punished to kneel in the autumn. I had no way to defend myself, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who stood up for me.
If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would have died in the river, or perhaps died on that autumn night when I was punished to kneel. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been in my heart since I was twelve years old.
"Yu Ning, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really had any intentions towards you, there was no need for him to be so sneaky. He is the Crown Prince, why would he sneak into your room in such a filthy way? He could have any beauty in the world at will. He might have been really drunk."
Song Heqing held Qi Yuning's hands with both hands and said, "Yuning, believe me this time. I believe that the Crown Prince I like is a good person. He might really be drunk..."
Qi Yuning pulled his hand out of Song Heqing's and said, "I have tried my best to persuade you, but you didn't listen to me. You will regret it in the future. I am leaving now."
Song Heqing said repeatedly: "Yuning, I want you to be my bridesmaid and accompany me to marry into the East Palace."
"I have no time."
Qi Yuning left three words coldly.
Song Heqing looked at Qi Yuning's back and clasped his hands, "I'm sorry, Yuning..."
Qi Yuning carried Lingling and left the Song Mansion.
Jingzhe was waiting in the carriage, and when he saw Qi Yuning with a surprised look on his face, he asked, "Princess."
Lingling also noticed Qi Yuning's sullen expression, "Mom, don't be angry. Mom, you should be happy."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "Your Aunt Song is so stupid!"
Qi Yuning was still very angry when she returned to the palace. When she heard that Shuangjiang, who was helping her manage the medical clinics in various places, had arrived, she went to the study to meet Shuangjiang.
"Aunt grandma!" Lingling called out sweetly when she saw Shuangjiang, "Aunt grandma, Lingling hasn't seen you for a long time!"
Shuangjiang saw the little girl next to Qi Yuning. She looked familiar. She was wearing a light yellow spring dress and had a fair and tender face. She smiled at the girl.
Then he knelt on the ground and saluted Qi Yuning and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Lingling walked up to Shuangjiang and said, "Aunt, don't you recognize Lingling? Why are you kneeling down to my mother?"
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling's address and asked Lingling, "Lingling, what do you call her?"
"Great aunt!" Lingling said, "She is Daddy and Mom's aunt, Lingling's great aunt."
Shuangjiang said repeatedly: "Little sister, you are wrong, I am not married yet."
Lingling said: "You are my great-aunt! Lingling is not mistaken!"
Qi Yuning thought that Lingling's great uncle would only be with Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning's uncle had died in the Northern Desert Campaign, his grandparents had died long ago, and the rest of his cousins were not close. But when Qi Yu'an got married a few days ago, someone from the Liu family came.
But they left after the wedding banquet. In the past, the Liu family did not try to curry favor with the Qi family's wealth and they only interacted with each other occasionally on important matters. The youngest of Qi Yuning's cousins was already in his forties and had grandchildren.
Lu Ze has so many uncles, seven of them are biological uncles, and countless cousins.
I wonder which uncle of Lu Ze Shuangjiang married?
However, Qi Yuning thought that he should not be one of Lu Ze’s seven uncles, after all, Shuangjiang was a servant of the Qi family.
Shuangjiang smiled at Lingling and said, "Little sister, you really made a mistake."
Lingling came close to Shuangjiang and took a closer look at Shuangjiang's appearance. "Lingling was not mistaken, mother dear, Lingling was not mistaken, right?"
Shuangjiang was extremely shocked when Lingling called Qi Yuning "mother", "Princess, is this your child?"
She hadn't been back to Beijing for more than half a year. How could the princess have a three-year-old daughter?
"Yes, Lingling is my daughter."
Qi Yuning half squatted down and said to Lingling: "Lingling, you are wrong. This is not my great-aunt, it is Aunt Shuangjiang."
Lingling frowned, "No, Lingling didn't make a mistake! It was mother who made a mistake, she is my great aunt!"
