Qi Yuning hugged the person in front of her tightly, bit her lip to hold back tears, and said, "If I had known that Tianyi Temple was so effective, I should have come to Tianyi Temple earlier."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze in front of her. After not seeing him for more than half a month, Lu Ze had lost a lot of weight. Without his black hair, his outlines looked even clearer and his facial features even more stunning.
Qi Yuning looked at the scar on Lu Ze's head, reached out to touch it and said, "Why did you burn the scar? Did you really become a monk?"
Lu Ze reached out and held Qi Yuning's wrist, pushed her against the tree, then lowered his head and kissed Qi Yuning's lips.
During this month, Lu Ze missed Qi Yuning all the time, thinking about the sweetness of their time together.
Qi Yuning once again wrapped her arms around Lu Ze's narrow waist, closed her eyes, and responded to Lu Ze's fierce kiss.
Lu Ze let go of Qi Yuning until both of them were almost out of breath. He panted heavily and hugged Qi Yuning tightly in his arms, using his arms to silently express his longing for her for the past half month.
Qi Yuning leaned against Lu Ze's arms and asked, "How did you get out of Shengjing City? How did you get to Beicheng so quickly?"
Lu Ze said, "Qin Feng used a death row prisoner to fake my death in prison. I left Shengjing City disguised as a monk. I thought the soldiers you left behind were too slow, so I came here on horseback with a few secret guards with high Kung Fu skills. We just arrived today."
Qi Yuning reached out and touched Lu Ze's tired eyes. "Then follow me back to the palace to rest. Your parents, uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters are all worried about you."
"I have asked Deqing to return to the palace to report that he is safe."
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning tightly and said, "Let me hold you for a while longer."
Qi Yuning asked: "How did you know I was in Tianyi Temple?"
Lu Ze said, "I just saw your carriage coming to Tianyi Temple as soon as I entered the city, so I asked the Taoist priest to help me find you and come to the backyard. If Lingling knew I was here, I wouldn't be able to kiss you."
Qi Yuning smiled and snuggled into Lu Ze's arms. She thought she had a lot to say, but just holding him quietly, she felt that the world was no longer bleak, and she no longer felt that the future was bumpy.
After a long time, Qi Yuning came out of Lu Ze's arms, holding Lu Ze's hand and went out to see Lingling.
Lingling was pestering Zhong Ming to weave a little sparrow for her when she heard Lu Ze's voice: "Lingling."
Lingling looked back and saw Qi Yuning walking towards her holding the hand of a monk. Lingling walked up to the monk, raised her head and looked at him, and shouted in disbelief: "Dad? Dad?"
Lu Ze picked up Lingling and said, "Good boy Lingling!"
Lingling touched Lu Ze's bald head and said, "Daddy, how come your head is the same as uncle's, both of you are bald!"
"Prince Lu."
"Brother."
Lu Baohua was filled with joy when he saw Lu Ze coming.
Lu Ze nodded to Lu Baohua, and said to Zhong Ming beside Lu Baohua, "Major General Zhong."
Lingling showed the grasshopper in her hand to Lu Ze and said, "Dad, my second uncle is so good! He can weave many insects and even sparrows!"
Hearing Lingling's address, Lu Baohua blushed and said, "Lingling, how can you call someone like that?"
Qi Yuning also covered Lingling's mouth, "Lingling, you can't yell at people randomly."
Qi Yuning apologized to Lu Baohua and Zhong Ming, "I'm sorry, Lingling is too young to call me by my proper name. I will teach her a lesson."
Lu Baohua said: "It's okay, I don't blame Lingling, don't teach Lingling a lesson."
Zhong Ming also said: "Princess, please don't blame Xiao Lingling."
Zhong Ming handed the little sparrow he had woven to Lingling and said, "Here, give it to Lingling."
Lingling took the little sparrow and played with it on the scar on Lu Ze's head. "Little sparrow, eat millet. Daddy has millet on his head."
Lu Ze: “…”
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Lingling, it's time to go home."
Lingling waved to Ayou who was standing beside her and said, "Goodbye, Brother Ayou. Lingling has parents now. I have to go back now!"
Lingling hadn't seen Lu Ze for a long time. She kept making a fuss on the way and didn't want to get down from Lu Ze's arms. Although Lu Ze was sleepy and tired, he was not so tired that he couldn't hold a three-year-old child.
Lu Ze looked at Ling Ling in front of him and said to Qi Yuning, "It seems like she really won't grow up. I haven't seen her for almost two months, and I haven't seen any change in her height."
Even if a child grows slowly, he should have grown at least an inch taller from August to almost May, but Lingling has indeed not changed at all.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling in front of him and said, "It seems that we need to find Taoist He and think of a way to get Lingling back."
Lu Ze said, "Master He's whereabouts are erratic. We've been looking for him for so long but there's still no news of him. I'll ask my men to look for him again."
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning returned to the palace. Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu Baozhu, who had heard the news, were already waiting at the gate of Prince Qi's palace.
When Princess Pingrou saw Lu Ze coming, she stepped forward and asked, "Ze'er, your hair? Why did you become a nun?"
Lu Ze put Lingling down, knelt in front of Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu and said, "I am an unfilial son. My hair and body were given to me by my parents, so I shouldn't have shaved my hair. But in order to leave Shengjing City, I had no choice but to shave my head and become a monk. I hope you can forgive me."
Princess Pingrou helped Lu Ze up and said, "Hurry up, you have lost a lot of weight. Go in and take a good bath and rest."
Lu Ze responded: "Okay."
Qi Yuning said: "I'll let the maid serve you."
Lu Ze said: "Just let Deqing come."
Lu Baozhu said to Qi Yuning: "My brother has such a bad temper. He thinks everything is dirty. Just let Deqing take care of him. Who made this cute sparrow in Xiao Lingling's hand? She is so skillful!"
Lingling held the little sparrow in her hand and said, "It's my second uncle... Oh, Lingling forgot, it's not my second uncle, it's my second uncle who made it up!"
Lu Baohua looked at Lingling from the side. Lingling was always smart and well-behaved, but why did she keep calling Zhongming "Second Uncle"...
Lu Baohua used the back of his hand to cool down his slightly hot face.
Princess Pingrou looked at Lingling, then at Qi Yuning.
Lu Baozhu looked at Lu Baohua who was also holding a straw dragonfly and said, "You have one too? I want one too!"
Lu Baohua gave the dragonfly in his hand to Lu Baozhu, but was stopped by Lu Fuma, "Baohua, keep it for yourself. Your sister Baozhu is almost nineteen years old. There is no need to play with these anymore."
Princess Pingrou also had a headache when she saw Lu Baozhu. Lu Baozhu was indeed almost nineteen years old, but her behavior showed that she was only a few years older than Lingling, so it would be extremely difficult for her to get married.
Lu Ze went to take a bath and rest, and Princess Pingrou called Qi Yuning to her room.
Only Qi Yuning and Lingling were left. Pingrou asked, "Yuning, Lingling just called Zhong Ming "Second Uncle". Is it because Zhong Ming and Baohua were married when Lingling came?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "It should be."
Princess Pingrou asked quickly, "Did Lingling tell me who her uncle is? Who did Baozhu marry later?"
Qi Yuning said in a very low voice: "Your Highness, Lingling said that Lu Baozhu has not married in the Xinwei year and has no uncle."
Princess Pingrou almost choked up, "How old is Lu Baozhu in the Xinwei year? It's really worrying!"
Compared with the current situation in Shengjing City, Princess Pingrou felt that Lu Baozhu's marriage was more worrying.
In the Xinwei year, Lu Baozhu was already 22 years old. Other girls of this age would have both sons and daughters, but she was still unmarried?!
Qi Yuning comforted Princess Pingrou and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Marriage is destined by heaven."
Princess Pingrou sighed and said, "You and Ze'er are still the ones who make me worry less, but my Lu family still owes you a wedding ceremony. I don't know how long it will take for the situation in Shengjing City to stabilize, so it's better for Beicheng to arrange a wedding for you and Ze'er now.
After the situation in Shengjing City stabilizes, we will go to Shengjing City to hold a wedding ceremony."
Qi Yuning said: "There is no rush. Let's wait until the matter in Shengjing City is settled."
Qi Yuning really had no intention of getting married at the moment. The overall situation was still undecided, and marriage was complicated and messy. She also did not have the energy to manage her own wedding.
