Lu Ze recalled the scene he saw when he touched the Lingling Jade Lock a few days ago, and held Qi Yuning's hand under the table and said, "It's not ridiculous to be careful about everything, but you eat with me, eat the dishes I have eaten, if someone really poisons it, won't we both be poisoned?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "We will live together and die together. Although you and I were not born on the same day, it would be good if we died of poisoning on the same day. This would save you from having to marry someone else after I die."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said in a deep voice: "I won't marry another one."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You said that before. Do you remember when you were in Longzhou City, you said that you would not marry another woman unless I was willing? Are you sure you won't marry another woman now?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Because I know you definitely don't want to. And you definitely won't die before me."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "I am two or three years younger than you, so I will definitely not die before you."
Lu Ze took a sip of wine and said, "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't say such unlucky words, let's eat."
After returning to the princess's mansion from the palace banquet, it was still lively.
It’s Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn wind is neither too cold nor too hot, the full moon is in the sky, and the princess’ family is reunited.
In front of the water pavilion, there is an altar for worshipping the Goddess of the Moon.
Everyone bowed and burned incense one by one. When Qi Yuning came forward with Lingling in her arms, Lingling didn't need any instruction. She clasped her little fists together and bowed towards the moon.
Qi Yuning kissed Lingling's cheek and said with a faint smile: "Lingling is really smart."
Lingling looked at the mooncake in front of her and babbled. Qi Yuning took a mooncake and handed it to Lingling, saying, "Want to eat?"
Lingling's little peach blossom eyes sparkled as she said, "Eat, eat."
Qi Yuning chuckled: "You can't eat this mooncake."
"eat!"
Qi Yuning made some mooncake skin and fed it to Lingling, who giggled at her.
Princess Pingrou looked at the harmonious family and smiled, "Now our family is complete. The only thing missing is you, Baozhu. You'd better find a husband as soon as possible!"
Lu Baozhu: "Ah? What?"
Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "You are already twenty-one, it's time for you to find a husband. If you really can't forget Shen Jialin..."
Chen Nian was also feeding Han Ge'er mooncakes on the side. When she heard Princess Pingrou's words, she raised her eyes and looked over.
Lu Baozhu said shyly and angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about? What Shen Jialin, I hate him so much! Shen Nian is still here, don't say anything nonsense!"
Princess Pingrou said, "I was wrong, but you must take the marriage seriously."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone listened to a play before leaving. Qi Yuning returned to her room and fell asleep. In her groggy dream, she vaguely saw Lu Ze hugging her tightly at night, with dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Lingling standing there blankly, she had never seen Xiao Lingling so weak.
After being awakened, Qi Yuning gasped loudly.
Lu Zewei opened his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and asked, "Why did you wake up?"
Qi Yuning leaned on Lu Ze and said, "I had a nightmare."
Lu Ze touched Qi Yuning's head and said, "As long as I'm here, nightmares are fake. Go to sleep a little longer."
Qi Yuning leaned in Lu Ze's arms and fell into a sound sleep. When she woke up, she felt very tired.
After dressing up, Qi Yuning asked Gu Yu beside her, "Have you sent out the invitation to the Liu family for Lingling's first birthday party?"
Guyu said, "Don't worry, Princess. It has already been sent out. The servant who sent the letter to the Liu family came to report that the Liu family has a happy event. Young Master Liu Changgeng has been promoted to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of War. He should be able to come to the capital to take up the post when Princess Lingling turns one."
Qi Yuning asked: "Liu Changgeng?"
"That's the child that Uncle Liu adopted."
Qi Yuning's aunt died early, and her uncle was deeply in love with her and did not remarry. Instead, he adopted a child from the clan into the Liu family. This Liu Changgeng is actually the cousin of Qi Yuning and Qi Yuan'an.
However, this cousin Liu had no intention of clinging to the Qi family's wealth.
Previously, Qi Yuan had thought about letting this cousin join the Qi family army, but this cousin was also an ambitious man, so he went to the Lingnan Army in the far south to serve as a soldier, and there has been no news about him in the past few years.
I didn't expect that he had such great abilities.
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "He is from my uncle's family. Now that he has a bright future, it's a good thing."
Qi Yuning was looking at the Qi family's account book and fiddling with the abacus when he heard a baby voice calling for mother. Qi Yuning looked down and saw Lingling crawling on the ground.
Qi Yuning picked up Lingling without any disdain, looked at Lingling's little face and said, "Why did you get up so early today?"
Lingling stuck to Qi Yuning's face, babbling words that Qi Yuning couldn't understand.
Ah Li said at the side: "The little princess seemed to have a nightmare last night. She kept crying and it took a long time to coax her to fall asleep again. It's amazing that such a young person would have a nightmare."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's head with concern and said to A Li, "Next time if Lingling has a nightmare again, come and wake me up. Don't worry about disturbing me and Lu Ze's rest."
Ali quickly responded, "Yes."
Qi Yuning noticed that Lingling was very clingy today, but Qi Yuning really liked the clinginess of little baby Lingling. Smelling the milky scent on Lingling's body, Qi Yuning felt all his tiredness disappear.
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "Lingling has been wronged. If you have a nightmare in the future, mother will accompany Lingling."
Lingling held Qi Yuning's hand tightly with her little hand, and placed her little hand on the red envelope that Qi Yuning had received from a mosquito bite yesterday.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and smiled, "Lingling is so well behaved. She even tickles mommy. She is much more considerate than your daddy."
"What are you and your daughter saying about me behind my back?"
Lu Ze came in from outside.
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze coming in and asked, "Why did you come back so soon today?"
Lu Ze said: "There are three days off during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and today is also a day off."
Qi Yuning raised her hand to show it to Lu Ze and said, "Lingling knew that I was bitten by a mosquito and scratched it for me. How thoughtful."
Lu Ze chuckled and said in a low voice: "I can also relieve your itch..."
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Ze and said, "Shame on you, Lu Ze. How can you say such low-class words in front of Ling Ling?"
Lu Ze took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out the mint ointment inside and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll apply the mint ointment on you."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You obviously did this on purpose."
Lu Ze just smiled as he applied medicine to Qi Yuning. “This mosquito is really vicious. There is still such a big bump from the bite last night.”
Qi Yuning felt the coolness of the mint ointment, and also felt that the mosquito bites were particularly severe this time.
Lingling, who had been clamoring to go out and play, has been very well-behaved these past few days. She no longer clamors to go out, but just wants to see Qi Yuning from the moment she opens her eyes to the moment she closes them. Qi Yuning really enjoys Lingling sticking to him like this.
By August 26th, it was only half a month away from Lingling's first birthday party. After Qi Yuning decided on the dishes, he felt very tired.
During dinner, Qi Yuning felt a little groggy. When she saw Lu Ze put a piece of mutton with skin on the rice in front of her, she felt nauseous.
Qi Yuning covered her red lips with one hand and vomited uncontrollably. She didn't even take the spittoon handed to her by the maid and vomited all over the floor.
Lu Zelian went over and patted Qi Yuning on the back, and handed Qi Yuning a cup of tea to rinse his mouth: "What's wrong? I don't think you look very well these days."
Qi Yuning took the tea and rinsed his mouth, saying, "I've been feeling nauseous and having a headache since yesterday, and I'm also very sleepy."
Shen Nian put down her chopsticks and said, “Could my sister-in-law be pregnant again?”
Princess Pingrou was overjoyed and asked, "Lingling is going to have a younger brother or sister?"
