Uncle Qin stood up and walked to the dragon robe and asked, "What do you think of this dragon robe?"
Zhao Chong said in panic, "Uncle, our father is now addicted to opium and is being used by us. The imperial physician has said that his time will not be long. We must not commit regicide and let the Ning and Liao kings catch us!"
Zhao Chong looked closely at the dragon robe in front of him, and it was clearly not his.
Qin Guojiu patted Zhao Chong on the shoulder and said, "King Ning and King Liao dared to rebel and have lost the support of the people. They will definitely be defeated by us."
Zhao Chong said in panic: "Uncle...you..."
Uncle Qin said in a cold voice: "Be obedient and be a good prince in the palace."
Zhao Chong clenched his hands and said, "Yes."
When Zhao Chong left the Qin Mansion, he felt depressed. Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, it seemed as if thunderclouds were coming. He always thought that the Qin family was just using him as a puppet emperor.
I never thought that the Qin family had already prepared the dragon robe!
…
The Dragon Boat Festival in Beicheng is not as lively as that in Shengjing City.
There is a custom of dragon boat racing in the Quancheng military camp, but as the army is about to start, no one is interested in racing dragon boats.
In Prince Qi's mansion.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze in the study: "We will set out with the army tonight, how about you stay and take care of Lingling?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You and Bao Shuang and Bao Xue went to the battlefield. If I stay in Beicheng and fear death, what am I?"
Qi Yuning said helplessly: "But I promised Lingling that I would not leave her, and now I have to leave again..."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Lingling now has Brother Ayou to keep her company. I noticed that she hasn't been sticking to us during the day these days. She only wants to play with Brother Ayou."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "But I'm afraid Lingling will cry if we leave."
Lu Ze said, "We have my parents around, and Lu Baozhu is playing with Lingling. They will make Lingling happy."
Qi Yuning went to Lu Baohua to find Lingling. Lingling was practicing calligraphy with little Ayou. Little Ayou's characters had already taken shape, while Lingling was drawing small circles, although these small circles were not very round.
Seeing Qi Yuning coming over, Lu Baohua said, "Princess, Lingling is practicing the stroke order. Lingling is actually very smart, but she is too young. She still needs to practice the stroke order to write well. She can't practice well by copying the old way."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I feel relieved if you can teach her."
Qi Yuning hopes that Lingling can grow up happily, but she also hopes that she can study hard and be sensible, be as free and easy-going as Lu Baozhu, be full of poetry and books like Lu Baohua, and be as chivalrous as the two sisters Baoshuang and Baoxue, and learn martial arts to protect herself.
Qi Yuning walked up to Lingling and said, "Lingling, mother has something to tell you."
Lingling put down the brush in her hand, threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms and said, "What does mother want to say to Lingling?"
Qi Yuning whispered, "Lingling, mother is leaving North City tonight. Mother is going to follow your uncle Ayou's father and others to fight the bad guys and save His Majesty, so mother is leaving Lingling again..."
Lingling hugged Qi Yuning tightly with her little hands and said, "Lingling, follow mother to fight the bad guys together! Lingling has a small wooden sword. Lingling has learned a lot of Kung Fu from the third and fourth aunts. Lingling can defeat the bad guys!"
Qi Yuning smiled and touched Lingling's forehead and said, "You and Brother Ayou, wait obediently for Daddy and Mommy to take you back to Shengjing City, okay?"
Lingling leaned on Qi Yuning's shoulder and shook her head, "Not good, not good! Wuwu!"
Qi Yuning said helplessly: "Mom promised Lingling that she would come to Lingling as soon as she defeated the bad guys!"
Lingling said: "Lingling doesn't want anything, just want to be with mother."
Lu Baohua felt distressed when he looked at the poor Lingling, and said to Qi Yuning: "Princess, you should stay here."
Qi Yuning said, "This war is urgent. I was originally in charge of the Qi family's silver and grain. Our Qi family army suffered heavy losses due to military rations, so I can't let others take care of the military rations. I need to go."
Qi Yuning held Lingling in her arms and said cruelly, "Lingling, I'm sorry, mother has to leave you behind."
Lingling burst into tears, "Lingling doesn't like mommy's kisses anymore. I won't like mommy's kisses anymore."
Little Ayou looked up at Lingling and said, "Lingling is very naughty. Lingling looks so ugly when she cries. She is not pretty at all."
Lingling suddenly stopped crying, wiped her tears with her little hands, and asked Qi Yuning: "Mommy, is Lingling ugly?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Lingling is very beautiful."
Little Ayou continued, "Dad and mom went to the battlefield to protect our descendants and to make the country prosperous. You should be proud of this. Every time my dad went out to fight the bandits, I didn't cry because my dad was a hero!"
Lingling pouted and said, "But Lingling can also be a little hero and fight the bad guys with mother. Mother, please take Lingling with you."
Little Ayou said: "You are so young, if you go there, you will need someone to take care of you washing, dressing, eating and braiding you!"
Lingling listened to what little Ayu said and said weakly, "Lingling can also dress and eat by herself...but Lingling can't wash or braid her hair by herself, wuwuwu."
Qi Yuning patted Lingling's head and said, "Just play with Brother Ayou in Beicheng. It will be fine soon. Trust your uncle and our Qi Family Army. We will definitely win."
Lingling said: "Then mother must think of Lingling every day, and Lingling will also think of mother every day."
Qi Yuning kissed Lingling hard on the side of her face, and Lingling also held Qi Yuning's face and kissed him, "Mmm!"
Qi Yuning smiled and said to Lu Baohua, "Baoshuang and Baoxue will also go with us. I'm afraid Lu Baozhu will take Lingling out to play, so I'll have to trouble you to help teach Lingling calligraphy."
Compared to Lu Baozhu, her biological aunt, Qi Yuning is more tolerant of her cousins Xinling and Ling.
Lu Baohua nodded and said, "Okay."
"Miss Lu."
A mellow sound came from the gate of the courtyard.
When Zhong Ming entered, he saw Qi Yuning was also there, and he bowed and said, "Princess."
Qi Yuning looked at Zhong Ming and asked, "Are you here to pick up Zhong You?"
Zhong Ming nodded and said, "Yes."
Ayou looked at the sun and said, "Second Uncle, it's not even 5 p.m. yet. Are you going back so early today?"
Zhong Ming touched Zhong You's little head and said, "Well, your grandfather and father and I will leave North City tonight. We will go back early to have a reunion dinner."
Zhong You just talked very logically with Lingling, but when he learned that his father and uncle were both leaving, he still felt reluctant to let them go.
Lu Baohua raised his eyes to glance at Zhong Ming and said, "I wish Young Master Zhong immediate success, continuous victories, and peace and safety."
Zhong Ming coughed and said, "Thank you, Miss Lu."
Qi Yuning said to Lu Baohua: "I'll take Lingling away first."
Qi Yuning took Lingling and left Lu Baohua's courtyard.
Zhong Mingcai took out a bamboo slip that he had brought with him, handed it to Lu Baohua and said, "Miss Lu, this bamboo slip is a new article I wrote. I can't pass it to King Xu now. If something happens to me, I hope you can pass this article to King Xu."
Lu Baohua looked at Zhong Ming and said, "You will be safe and sound."
Zhong Ming said: "I will do my best to go to Shengjing City as soon as possible."
Lu Baohua looked at Zhong Ming and said, "Master Zhong, please put safety first."
Zhong Ming said: "I know you are worried about your parents. The sooner the Qi family's troops arrive in Shengjing City, the sooner you can rest assured."
Lu Baohua clenched the bamboo slips in her hand, her heart moved slightly. The summer breeze blew, seeming to create ripples in her heart.
