Lu Zexi asked happily: "Lingling is only six months old, and she can already speak?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "She can say the word 'eat' now."
Lu Ze laughed and said, "It turns out to be a word for eating. I thought Lingling was calling someone."
Qi Yuning said: "It's amazing that Lingling can say the word 'eat' at the age of half a year. After all, this is her first time speaking!"
Seeing Qi Yuning happy, Lu Ze also said, "Lingling is indeed amazing."
After Qi Yuning left Lu Ze's place, she did not return to the princess's residence but went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
In the Empress Dowager's palace, Princess Pingrou was walking with the Empress Dowager in the courtyard.
When the Empress Dowager saw Qi Yuning coming, she was very happy and asked, "Yuning, how come you have time to come to the palace to see me today?"
Qi Yuning said: "Lingling was able to speak her first word today. I came here specially to tell you this good news."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "She is so smart. She can speak at just six months old."
Princess Pingrou was also very excited. "What word did Lingling say?"
"Eat words."
Princess Pingrou couldn't help but smile, "It's a good thing to like eating. It's a blessing to be able to eat."
The Grand Empress Dowager smiled and said to Princess Pingrou, "Now that your two sons have married and Ze'er's little daughter can speak, I am relieved. Yuan'er is still young and I can't control him. Now the only grandchild you can't let go of is Baozhu. You really have to plan her marriage."
Princess Pingrou said, "It's not that I don't have plans for her, she has someone in her heart and she doesn't want to marry her lover."
"Who is it? If you are my sweetheart, why don't you want to marry me?"
Princess Pingrou said: "The young master of the Shen family, Shen Jialin, the Shen family claims to be a thousand-year-old family, but can only live in peace in a corner and think highly of themselves. Especially Shen Jialin's mother looks down on Baozhu, and Baozhu doesn't want to bear that humiliation!"
"Speaking of which, aren't you relatives now? Why do you still look down on me?" The Empress Dowager said, "Isn't Shen Nian from the Shen family? If Baozhu can marry the person she loves, I will be relieved."
Princess Pingrou said, "Chen Nian is the adopted daughter of the third wife after all, and she is different from the first wife. Speaking of Chen Nian, mother, you haven't seen Han Ge'er yet, right? I will bring Han Ge'er to the palace for you to see one day. Now she has changed her surname to Lu."
The Empress Dowager said, "Okay."
The Empress Dowager held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "It would be great if you and Chen Nian could give me another great-grandson."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I will."
Princess Pingrou couldn’t help but sigh and said, “If Shen Nian hadn’t lost her child, she would have given birth in two months.”
The Empress Dowager was learning about this for the first time and was slightly shocked: "Yun'er is really... pregnant during the national mourning period.
No wonder you let him marry a second-married adopted daughter of an aristocratic family as the princess of the county. How come there is no child?"
"It was gone on the wedding night." Princess Pingrou sighed, "It's all Lu Yun's fault. He acted like a fool on the wedding night without caring about the child."
The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Lu Yun is out of tune. Chen Nian is pregnant and doesn't know how to be careful. After all, she is a woman who has given birth to a child, not a spoiled girl who knows nothing...
Yuning, why are your hands so cold? "
Qi Yuning said repeatedly: "Maybe I didn't wear enough clothes. It's a lot colder today."
Princess Pingrou said, "Lingling has just recovered from her illness. You must not catch a cold. Go back home and get dressed quickly."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Okay."
On the way back to the princess's residence after leaving the palace, Qi Yuning figured out everything. Just as the Empress Dowager said, Shen Nian was a mother for the second time, so how could she be so careless?
If Shen Nian doesn't want to have a child now, then what about the child she was pregnant with before?
Why was it such a coincidence that the child was lost just after he entered the princess's mansion?
When Qi Yuning saw Chen Nian wrapping her belly tightly that day, she originally thought that Chen Nian was afraid that her pregnancy would be exposed during the national mourning period, so she wrapped it so tightly without caring about the safety of the child. Now she wondered if Chen Nian had intended not to have the child from the beginning.
When Qi Yuning thought of this, he felt a chill all over his body. Seeing that they were almost at the Princess's Mansion, he ordered the coachman to turn around and go to the pharmacy.
Seeing Qi Yuning coming again, the little pharmacist in the pharmacy asked, "Sir, why are you here again?"
Qi Yuning asked, "The customer I asked you yesterday, did he buy a dose of abortion pills a few months ago?"
"She did come to buy a dose of abortion pills a few days before the first lunar month, but no one bought abortion pills this whole year. Buying abortion pills on New Year's Day is really a sin. My master didn't want to sell them at first, but he was afraid that other pharmacies would add extra drugs, so he sold her two doses of abortion pills."
Qi Yuning frowned when he heard this. Shen Nian really had gotten rid of him a long time ago!
After getting into the carriage, Lichun was quite indignant and said, "I didn't expect the princess to be such a person. Princess, should we tell the young prince about this?"
Qi Yuning said: "It is not appropriate for me to interfere in the affairs of the Second House."
Once this matter was made public, the Lu family would surely be in chaos. Qi Yuning didn't even plan to tell Lu Ze, and just pretended that she had never known about this matter.
I also hope that Shen Nian can mend her ways and save her biological father's face in the Qi Family Army.
After the spring in March, April is already early summer and the weather is visibly getting hotter.
Lingling took off her heavy clothes, making her little arms and legs look even cuter.
Lingling could crawl when she was seven months old, and she was so skilled at crawling around the room that Qi Yuning specifically asked the maid to clean the floor three times a day.
Sometimes, Lu Ze would bring Lingling into the palace. Lingling liked little Zhao Jie very much. After entering the palace, she didn't want Lu Ze to hold her and insisted on staying with little Zhao Jie. Unfortunately, she could only crawl and couldn't walk.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival was extremely lively, and there were also dragon boat races at the imperial court.
Lu Yun will also participate in the dragon boat race this year. A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Yun and his brothers are practicing rowing in Lu Baozhu's Xingyue Lake.
Lingling really loves watching the boating and listening to the drum beats of dragon boats. She keeps asking for her auntie every day.
Qi Yuning was also very sad that Lingling's second word was "Aunt". Lingling was quick to call "Aunt", but she couldn't learn it no matter how hard her parents tried.
When Qi Yuning came with Lingling in her arms, she saw Lu Baozhu, Shen Nian, and Han Ge'er watching Lu Yun, the Lu family, and several other brothers practicing dragon boat racing on the shore.
"younger sister!"
Han Ge'er saw Lingling coming and laughed.
Lu Baozhu looked at the dragon boats in the lake from afar and said, "I wonder if Lu Yun can win this year's Dragon Boat Festival? If my brother participated, I wouldn't be worried. Unfortunately, my brother doesn't participate in the dragon boat race."
Shen Nian smiled and said, “If big brother were to race a dragon boat, I’m afraid no one would dare to beat him.”
Lu Yun got off the dragon boat, walked up to Chen Nian, took Chen Nian's water cup and drank it all, "I'm so tired, this time I must win the championship to make my mother happy."
Shen Nian took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Lu Yun's forehead, "Just do your best."
"Daddy." Han Ge'er hugged Lu Yun's thigh.
Lu Yun picked up Han Ge'er and kissed him on the face, "You are my good son!"
Lingling looked at Han Ge'er and said in a baby voice, "Son."
Qi Yuning called Lingling and said, "You should call him Brother Han."
"Son!" Lingling shouted.
Qi Yuning was helpless and rubbed Lingling's little face, "You."
Lingling looked at Qi Yuning and gently stuck out her tongue. The smile on her little face was so cute that it could melt anyone's heart.
Lu Yun looked at Shen Nian and said, “Why don’t we have a daughter too? A little daughter as soft and sticky as Lingling would be much more soft and sticky and interesting than Han Ge’er.”
Lu Baozhu complained to Lu Yun, "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, I might have a new nephew and niece right now."
Lu Yun lowered his head in guilt, Shen Nian looked at Lu Yun and said, "Don't blame Lu Yun."
Lu Baozhu snorted, "You are still speaking for him? Why don't you blame him? You don't have to be nice to him. He has let you down! He is such a grown-up and can't even protect a child!"
Shen Nian said: “I really don’t blame him.”
Qi Yuning followed Shen's thoughts and said, "Lu Yun really shouldn't be blamed."
Lu Baozhu asked curiously: "Qi Yuning, why are you speaking for Lu Yun?" (End of this chapter)
