Qi Yuning held Lingling in his arms, took off her shoes, and let Lingling roll on the bed. The bridesmaid beside him said auspicious words, "Rolling on the bed, rolling on the bed, may you have many children and grandchildren, a son, and a daughter."
Lingling said, "You are wrong, you are wrong. It is my sister, my second brother. Lingling already has many brothers. She didn't have any brothers before, but now she has a cousin, brother Han, brother Cheng... Lingling doesn't want a brother, she wants a sister!"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly. The brothers Lingling mentioned were actually her brothers. She didn't have any brothers at all.
Lingling is now looking forward to having a younger sister because she has too many younger brothers. If she finds that she has no younger brother after returning, she can probably accept a younger brother. Qi Yuning is not worried about whether Lingling will be sad if she cannot give birth to a younger sister in the future.
Qi Yuning gave the bridesmaid a look, and the bridesmaid could only follow Lingling's words, "Mr. give birth to a daughter, and give birth to a little grandson!"
After rolling around on the bed, Lingling refused to get off and fell asleep directly on the wedding bed.
Seeing this, Princess Pingrou picked up Lingling and said, "This child must be tired from playing. Let Lingling sleep with me today."
Qi Yuning asked: "Your Highness, is this too much trouble?"
Lu Baozhu said, "Sister-in-law, you have entered my princess's mansion, and you still call me princess?"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Mom, this is too much trouble for you. You must be tired from taking care of the wedding these days. Just let Lu Baozhu take care of Lingling!"
Princess Pingrou thought about it and agreed, so she gave Lingling to Lu Baozhu and said, "Take Lingling back to your room and have a rest."
…
In the bridal chamber, after everyone had dispersed, the entire bridal chamber suddenly became quiet.
Not long after it got dark, Lu Ze returned. After he entered the bedroom, he asked the maids around Qi Yuning to leave.
When Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze, her cheeks were still rosy.
Lu Ze walked over to Qi Yuning and sat down, hugging Qi Yuning, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, tightly in his arms.
Qi Yuning could smell no alcohol on him, so he probably didn't drink much. She raised her eyes and met Lu Ze's without saying anything.
The red brocade quilt was slightly wrinkled and the bed curtains fell lightly.
It was dark in the tent, but they could still vaguely see each other with the help of the candlelight through the translucent gauze curtains. The wedding dress that took so much time to make slipped out of the tent, and the bright red wedding clothes for the man and woman were scattered on the ground.
The big red dragon and phoenix candles flickered all night.
…
At the hour of Mao, the sound of Jingzhe was heard outside.
After Qi Yuning woke up in Lu Ze's arms, she rubbed her eyes gently and said to Lu Ze, "It's almost Mao time, it's time to get up and serve tea."
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning and smiled faintly, "My mother has the same schedule as Lingling, she won't get up before the 7th hour. His Majesty in the palace is not in good health, and he won't get up early, so he has to wait until almost 9:00 to enter the palace."
Qi Yuning asked: "Do we need to go to the Duke's Mansion to offer tea?"
Lu Ze looked into Qi Yuning's eyes and said, "If you don't want to, it's okay if you don't go."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Although my brother said that I don't have to endure grievances, I can't let others say I'm rude. After all, she is your grandmother, so you should go and offer her tea."
What's more, Qi Yuning has no conflicts with Mr. Lu Er and his wife, and Mr. Lu San and his wife.
Even though Zhong Ming and Lu Baohua were about to get married, she had to show some respect to Mr. Lu and his wife even for Zhong Xin's sake.
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning tightly, "Ningning."
Qi Yuning pushed Lu Ze away and stood up, letting the maid come in to help her dress and do her makeup.
After changing out of her undergarment, Lichun looked at the red and purple marks on Qi Yuning's collarbone and said, "Are there bugs in this bridal chamber? I'll go get some incense from the palace later."
Qi Yuning blushed, not daring to look at Lu Ze, and said, "This is not a bug bite."
Qi Yuning had her hair combed into a gentle bun today and wore a red skirt, which made her skin look even whiter. After putting on lip balm, she could hear Lingling's voice.
"Mother!"
Lu Ze picked up the little Lingling who came in and said, "Lingling."
Lingling said in Lu Ze's arms: "Daddy."
Seeing Lingling had woken up, Qi Yuning glanced at the sky outside. She didn't expect that it took almost an hour to dress up. Fortunately, Lu Ze had the patience to wait by her side.
Qi Yuning repeatedly said to Lu Ze: "Let's go, it's time to serve tea."
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze first went to the lobby of the princess's mansion to serve tea to Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu.
Qi Yuning came forward with tea and said, "Mom, Dad, please have some tea."
Duke Lu smiled kindly and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
Princess Pingrou gave a bunch of keys to Qi Yuning and said, "Yuning, when you marry into our Princess Mansion, you will be the mistress of the Princess Mansion and the Lu family. From now on, you will be the manager of the Princess Mansion and the Lu family."
Qi Yuning asked, "Isn't the Duke's Mansion managed by the Second and Third Aunts?"
Qi Yuning is in charge of the huge Qi Mansion, and sometimes she is too busy to handle everything. She is not greedy for the housekeeper's power of the Lu family. To her, she really looks down on the Lu family's assets.
Princess Pingrou said, "Just take some time to manage it, so that some people won't say that you were married to ruin the family. You manage the entire Prince Qi's Mansion in an orderly manner, how can you manage the Lu Mansion?"
Qi Yuning thought that the ones who said she couldn't manage the household should not be the Second Madam Lu and the Third Madam Lu. Lu Ze's two aunts were always sensible people. Their children had not yet got married, and some of them would rely on the Duke Lu's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion. They would definitely not offend her, the Crown Prince's wife. In this case, it was probably only the Old Madam Lu.
Qi Yuning responded: "Yes."
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "If you are too tired, you can just ignore it."
Qi Yuning said: "It's okay."
It doesn't matter whether you are driving one sheep or two sheep. As far as the accounts of Prince Qi's Mansion are concerned, the accounts of the Lu family are just minor matters. They can be managed when you have time.
Lu Ze said to Princess Pingrou, "Mother, it's getting late. I'm going to take Yuning to the Duke's Mansion to serve tea."
Princess Pingrou said unhappily, "Go to the Duke's Mansion to offer tea? Humph! You are so filial."
Duke Lu said to Princess Pingrou, "On this happy day, please don't make things difficult for Yuning. After all, filial piety is the key."
Princess Pingrou said, "I will go with you."
Lingling held Qi Yuning's hand with one hand and Lu Ze's hand with the other, and walked happily towards Duke Lu's mansion.
But just as they entered the main hall of Duke Lu's mansion, after Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu and their wife saluted Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu, they saw Old Madam Lu, who was sitting on the high seat, stomping on the cane in her hand and angrily saying:
"I heard that when the bride came in yesterday, this little thing said she didn't want a brother but a sister, and then she rolled into the bridal chamber on the new bed as a girl? Isn't this nonsense? Do you want my Lu family to end the incense and bloodline of the eldest branch of the family?"
