Lu Ze chose a gentle pony for Lingling, carried Lingling to the horse, and let Lingling touch the horse's head.
Lingling gently stroked the horse's fur and said, "Lingling likes riding horses."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "When Wan Kingdom pays tribute to us with Ferghana horses, if there are ponies, Lingling will pick one."
Lingling said: "Lingling, can you pick a few more? Lingling wants to give them to the Zheng family sisters."
"They are too young to ride horses."
Lingling said, "How about Brother You? Brother You said that after his second uncle gets married, he will go back to North City. Will Lingling never see Brother You again in the future?"
Qi Yuning said: "If you have time in the future, mother can also take Lingling to North City."
Lingling said: "But mom and dad are rarely free."
Lu Ze rubbed Lingling's little head and said, "Okay, I'll pick a pony for your brother You when the time comes."
They played at the horse farm until almost dusk. Lingling fell asleep from exhaustion. Lu Ze and Qi Yuning then took Lingling back to the princess's residence.
When Lu Ze returned to the princess's residence, he sent Lingling to Lu Baozhu's room.
When Lu Baozhu saw Lu Ze bringing Lingling over, she felt something was odd.
It was not until they had dinner together at the princess's mansion that Lu Baozhu realized something was wrong.
Lu Baozhu looked at Qi Yuning and said, "I took the trouble to let you marry into our Lu family so that you could serve me. Now, not only do you not serve me, but you treat me as a wet nurse to take care of your child!"
Qi Yuning said: "If you don't want to bring Lingling, there are people who like to bring Lingling."
Lu Baozhu snorted lightly, but she didn't say that she didn't want to take Lingling with her. She just felt that she had suffered a great loss.
Princess Pingrou sighed when she saw Lu Baozhu like this, "You are only a few days younger than Yuning. Yuning is married, but what about you? You are still so childish. Sigh, I don't know when you will be married. I am afraid that you may not be able to become a grandmother when I am old."
Lu Baozhu pouted and said, "I do want to get married, but I need a good man. How many good men like my brother are there in this world?"
Lu Yun said: "There are at least two, and the other one is me."
Qi Yuning picked up the serving chopsticks beside him, picked up the only vegetable on the round table, and handed it to Lu Yun's bowl, "Uncle, eat more."
Lu Yun saw the emerald green leaves, "..."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning with a little jealousy, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You have never picked up food for me."
Qi Yuning picked up another piece of vegetable with chopsticks and put it into Lu Ze's bowl.
Lu Yun couldn't eat the green leafy vegetables in the bowl.
Duke Lu said, "Baohua will be married in a month, and I don't know when she will be able to return to the capital after she gets married."
Lu Ze said: "Zhong Ming intends to stay in Shengjing City as an official. Baohua should not go to Beicheng, but stay in Shengjing City."
"That's good." Duke Lu said, "Seeing that you children have reached the age of getting married, Yun'er, your marriage must also be put on the agenda. You and Chen Nian..."
Lu Yun said, "Chen Nian? The woman whose husband died in Longzhou? What does she have to do with me?"
Qi Yuning thought that Lingling called Chen Nian "Auntie", so Chen Nian must have married Lu Yun in the end.
For Yu Qi Yuning, Lu Yun’s wife was not irrelevant to her.
A good sister-in-law is better than a good mother-in-law.
After all, Lu Yun and Lu Ze are brothers who are connected by blood. As long as Princess Pingrou is around, there is no way they will split up.
Qi Yuning has longed for the hustle and bustle of a big family since he was a child, but he is also afraid of the intrigues in the backyard mansions. If Lu Yun's wife is Shen Nian, it would be good for Qi Yuning.
Just as Qi Yuning was thinking about it, he heard the little bald man's voice full of disgust.
"Dad, am I really that useless? How could you think of letting me marry a woman who is older than me, has been widowed for the second time, and has a little burden? She was an orphan when she was a child, and her husband died soon after she got married. It can be seen that she is destined to be unlucky! I am afraid that she will kill me if I marry her!"
Qi Yuning put down his chopsticks fiercely after hearing this and said, "Chen Nian's father was the captain of the Dragon and Tiger Army. Her father and my fourth uncle died under the swords of the Beimo people in order to protect more than a thousand Dasheng people in the border town. Chen Nian's father even risked his life to protect my fourth uncle's body. Without Chen Nian's biological father, the body of my fourth uncle would definitely be humiliated!
Shen Nian's biological mother worked so hard to sew clothes so that the soldiers could wear cotton clothes in winter that she died of exhaustion!
Shen Nian's husband died because of the Qin family's scheme, so why blame her for being a doomed star?
After the heroic efforts of the Qi family army, they are no better than a useless person like you who only knows how to become a monk after getting into trouble. "
Lu Ze glared at Lu Yun and said, "Lu Yun, apologize!"
Lu Yunlian said to Qi Yuning: “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said that Shen Nian was a star of destiny.”
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Yun and said, "If you don't learn your lesson, go to the North City military camp again and see how difficult it is for the soldiers there to guard the border. The Qi family army will not allow you to insult them like this in the future!"
Lu Yun kept saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Princess Pingrou said to Lu Yun: "Starting tomorrow, you will go to study in the Imperial Academy!"
"Ah?" Lu Yun frowned and said, "Mother..."
Seeing that Princess Pingrou ignored him, Lu Yun begged Duke Lu again, "Dad."
"Studying at the Imperial College is also for your own good!" Lu Ze said, "I will take you to the Imperial College tomorrow."
After dinner, Qi Yuning returned to her room, washed up, and combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror, still with a cold expression on her face.
Lu Ze hugged Qi Yuning from behind and said, "Are you still angry?"
"Lu Ze, if he wasn't your brother, I wouldn't let him go so easily. Without a father or a mother, one is doomed to fail. Am I no different? My Qi family army has sacrificed so much for Dasheng, and yet after being so loyal and brave, he still slanders me like this. It's really infuriating!"
Lu Ze said, "It's a happy day, why bother getting angry with him? You don't have to worry about him because he is my brother. You can teach him a lesson as you like! For him, asking him to study is like asking him to die. It's more painful to let him be bound in the Imperial College than to kill him."
Qi Yuning said, "How can just asking him to study be considered a restriction? If it were someone else who dared to say that, I would have ordered someone to slap him in the face."
Lu Ze asked, "If not, I'll order Deqing to slap Yun'er in the face?"
Qi Yuning said: "Rather than slapping him, it would be better to let him eat only bran and vegetables every day!"
Lu Ze responded: "Yeah."
Qi Yuning finally felt relieved. "When Princess Pingrou gave birth to Lu Yun, was she taken away by someone else by mistake?"
Lu Ze smiled faintly and said, "Have you forgotten? Yun'er was not in good health in the first few years after he was born, so the whole family indulged him. Yun'er did not have to take over the family business, so my parents naturally loved the youngest son more and spoiled Baozhu and Yun'er a lot.
However, speaking of it, Shen Nian is indeed not suitable for him. Shen Nian has a gentle personality and may not be able to control him. "
Qi Yuning said: "But Lingling calls Shen Nian auntie... But I still have to persuade Shen Nian that there are many good men in this world, and there is no need to remarry a little bald donkey."
Lu Ze smiled gently and asked, "Does your leg still hurt?"
Qi Yuning raised her eyes slightly and said, "It hurts."
Lu Ze picked up Qi Yuning and said, "That's not what you said in front of Lingling just now."
Qi Yuning: “…”
