The closer the divorce date got, the calmer Qi Yuning became and no longer worried about any trouble.
Maybe it was because this was the third time she was preparing for the wedding, and she was already very familiar with the rules of getting married. Even the wedding banquet this time had the help of Qi Yu'an and Zhao Shu, so Qi Yuning didn't have to do anything in the three days before the wedding.
The autumn rain continued at the end of October, which was not considered a good weather.
It was also a rainy day on Qi Pa's wedding day, so a bamboo shed was set up in the palace to keep out the rain and hold the wedding banquet.
It's rainy and cold outside.
Qi Yuning was applying nail polish in the warm room. The bright red nail polish was applied on her slender fingers. Lingling saw it from the side and looked at her with tender eyes.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and smiled softly, "Do you want to apply it?"
Lingling nodded.
Qi Yuning smiled and painted two of Lingling's fingers. "Lingling, there will be many guests coming on the day of Daddy and Mommy's wedding. You should stay with Second Aunt the whole time, okay?"
Lingling hugged Qi Yuning and said, "Lingling wants to be with mother."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head and said, "Be good."
Lingling hugged Qi Yuning tightly and said, "Lingling wants to see the beautiful mother that day and to accompany her to get married."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
Although she was married to the princess's mansion next door, which was only a few steps away from her home, it would take her a quarter of an hour to get there if she walked fast, or two quarters of an hour if she walked slowly, but it was difficult to return to her boudoir after all.
The closer you marry, the harder it is to come back.
Qi Yuning looked at his Chunjiang Courtyard, feeling reluctant to leave.
Obviously, she didn't like this palace before. It was empty and she was the only owner there. But she was reluctant to leave.
If she got married, this would really be an empty house.
Once her marriage to Zhong Ming is settled, Qi Yu'an and Zhao Shu will have to go back to North City. The Prince Qi's Mansion will probably become an empty shell. Qi Yuning felt sad and reluctant to leave when she thought about it.
After dinner.
Seeing Qi Yuning's disappointed face, Zhao Shu asked, "Yuning, the wedding is approaching, why do I feel that you are unhappy?"
Qi Yu'an also noticed Qi Yuning's melancholy and said, "What's wrong? It's not too late if you don't want to get married now. The Lu family broke off the engagement once. Even if our Qi family breaks off the engagement this time, they don't have the courage to say anything bad about our Qi family."
Qi Yuning looked around the room and said, "It's not that I don't want to get married, but I feel that after I get married, our palace will be completely without a master, and it will become completely empty."
Qi Yuning said: "Although there is only one wall between us, it separates two houses and two surnames."
Qi Yu'an said: "Sister, even if you are married, you are still the daughter of our Qi family. You can come back every day..."
Zhao Shu also nodded and said, "Yes, this is your home, just separated by a wall. You can bring Lingling back to live in the palace more often. After you get married, have more children. Then the palace will be bustling."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yeah."
Qi Yu'an said, "Sister, you have been the one managing the Qi family's business. As for the dowry, when you said you wanted to marry Lu Yun, I told you that you could give half of it to me.
It's the same this time. You know the accounts. Leave this ancestral house to me, and you can split the rest in half. You will have to continue to help manage my share."
Qi Yuning said: "Brother, it's too much."
Qi Yu'an smiled faintly and said, "Why do we have to say so much? If you give a richer dowry, you won't be looked down upon if you marry into the Lu family."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Who in the Lu family dares to look down on me? The only one who looks down on me is a dying man. Even if I don't bring any dowry, they can't look down on me."
Zhao Shuyan said: "Yu Ning, don't refuse anymore. You deserve the dowry. Even if you get married, we are still a family. There is no need to argue."
Qi Yu'an said to Qi Yuning: "Your sister-in-law is right. You will just have one more home after you get married. This will always be your home."
Qi Yuning pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Yeah."
Qi Yu'an said, "If Lu Ze dares to let you suffer injustice, don't bear it. The daughter of our Qi family is no worse than that of the Lu family! If Lu Baozhu still wants you to serve her sister-in-law as a sister-in-law, you don't have to care. The daughter raised by the Qi family is not to be her nanny."
Qi Yu'an was full of worry as he spoke, "Your sister-in-law and I plan to go to North City after the New Year, and come back every New Year in the future. If you are wronged, please write to me, and don't only report good news but not bad news. Although North City is far away, you can always get back to Shengjing City. You are not a helpless person."
Qi Yuning listened with tears in her eyes.
Although she knew that she married Lu Ze willingly and should be happy, she still couldn't bear the sadness.
…
In the Lu family, Lu Ze finally had some free time and took a five-day wedding leave.
The reason why he took a day off before the wedding was because Lu Ze needed to worship his ancestors, inform the ancestors of the Lu family that he was getting married, and also decorate the new house.
When the big red wedding candles were placed in the room, Lu Ze missed Qi Yuning very much.
Due to the rule that they could not meet before marriage, the two of them never met again after Qi Yuning came to visit Lu Yun that day. Even when Lingling occasionally missed him, Qi Yuning would ask the maid to send Lingling over, and she would not come herself.
Lu Baozhu happily helped Princess Pingrou paste wedding characters in Lu Ze's room.
Lu Baozhu said to Lu Ze: "I am your matchmaker, so you should thank me for being together."
Lu Ze said: "What kind of matchmaker are you? Lingling should be the matchmaker."
If Lingling hadn't come, Lu Ze thought, he and Qi Yuning would never have been able to be together.
However, he was also curious. If Lingling had not come back, how could he and Qi Yuning be together?
After all, if Lingling wasn't there, given Qi Yuning's temper, she would never forgive the Lu family.
Lu Baozhu said: "If Qi Yuning and I hadn't been against each other, you and Qi Yuning would have grown up together as childhood sweethearts and would have called each other brother and sister. You and Qi Yuning would have become siblings with different surnames. You might even have to send her to marry someone else tomorrow without telling her!"
Lu Ze: "...I have to thank you. You went against Qi Yuning and made her not say a word to me for almost seven years?"
"Yes!" Lu Baozhu said, "So tomorrow I need to receive a big red envelope from the matchmaker."
Lu Ze sneered.
The sun, which had not been seen for many days, broke through the clouds and cast a golden light. It was a great joy that the sky finally cleared up.
Princess Pingrou ordered her maids and servants to quickly hang up red silk, and everywhere in the princess's mansion was covered with wedding characters.
Lu Yun was in the yard, and when he saw servants coming to paste wedding characters, he sighed. He didn't expect that his wedding date with Qi Yuning would come so soon.
He thought of his eighth uncle who was exiled to Cangzhou, and his whole body shuddered.
While the servants were busy, Lu Yun sneaked out of the side door of the princess's mansion, found the dog hole in the palace, and crawled into the dog hole in the palace, but he underestimated his own height.
After working for an hour, he finally struggled out of the dog hole and arrived at Chunjiang Courtyard according to his childhood memories.
In Chunjiang Courtyard, Qi Yuning sat quietly in the room looking at the sky after the rain. There was a neon rainbow in the distance. It was a good omen to see a neon rainbow before getting married.
"Qi Yuning!"
Qi Yuning heard a male voice coming from outside the courtyard gate, and saw Xiaoman hurried in to report: "Princess, the young prince is here!"
Qi Yuning frowned and asked, "What is he doing here?"
