Chapter 51: Marrying a child with a baby in your arms: It is not impossible for a father to be honored by his daughter
Qi Yuning said: "Which woman in this world doesn't want to marry a man she loves? I don't have any parental orders, so I can choose my husband. If we want to get married, the most important thing is that we both love each other."
"What about Lu Yun?" Lu Ze asked, "The princess was willing to marry Lu Yun before, so she doesn't have to marry a man she loves."
Qi Yuning frowned. It took her a while to understand what Lu Ze meant.
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Why do I smell a sour smell?"
Lu Ze stood up and said, "My Lord, you must have smelled it wrong. It doesn't smell sour at all."
"Really? Isn't someone jealous?" Qi Yuning said with a faint smile, "Prince, don't you smell jealous?"
Lu Ze said: "No."
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze turning around and leaving, so she stood up and walked to Lu Ze. Because of the pain in her ankle, she lowered her head and took a breath.
Lu Ze reached out and supported Qi Yuning, saying, "If I had known your legs were not healed, I shouldn't have asked for this invitation for you."
Qi Yuning looked up at Lu Ze and said, "Indeed, this princess does not want to marry a man who is in love with her."
Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then heard the woman's calm voice: "In fact, it is not impossible to get married with a baby, and the father's status depends on the daughter..."
The aroma of the inn lingered in Lu Ze's nose. He looked into Qi Yuning's eyes with a slight curl at the corner of his lips.
He took Qi Yuning's cold hand and helped her sit down, "Have the princess's hands always been so cold?"
"It's just a little bit cold in winter, but it's already a chronic disease."
Lu Ze asked, "Why didn't you ask the maid to prepare a hot water bottle?"
"It's too early to use a hot water bottle in this weather."
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze are both influential figures in Shengjing City. When Lu Ze stepped into the pavilion, many rich ladies were already staring at the pavilion from a distance.
Seeing the two of them holding hands, the girls surrounding them could not help but be surprised.
"Doesn't this mean that Master Lu and Miss Guan Liu have a deep relationship? Because Miss Guan Liu was engaged to Master Qin Wu, didn't Master Lu look extremely haggard during the morning court? That person wasn't Miss Guan Liu but Princess Qi, right?"
"I heard that Princess Qi's daughter looks very similar to Master Lu! They all say she is Master Lu's daughter."
"What about Miss Guan Liu?"
"With the example of Princess Qi, who would be interested in the daughter of the Guan family? She only gained some fame in Shengjing City because of her marriage. It's ridiculous that the whole family relied on marriage to get to the top."
Guan Zhiyi was listening to the words of the daughters from behind, her heart filled with grief and indignation. Looking at the two people who were smiling at each other and holding hands in the pavilion, she just clenched her hands.
It's so immoral to do this in public!
"Brother, Princess Qi."
When Qi Yuning heard the woman's voice, she turned around and saw that it was Lu Baohua, and she even let go of Lu Ze's hand.
Lu Ze also withdrew his hand and said to Lu Baohua, "Baohua."
Lu Baohua looked at the daughter who was watching them talking in the distance and said, "Brother, Princess, this is in public after all."
Qi Yuning just noticed that the surrounding girls were all looking at their pavilion. She looked over and saw that the girls tactfully turned around and stopped looking.
Lu Ze coughed lightly, then stood up and left.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Baohua and said, "I've heard that you are a talented writer and the most talented woman in Shengjing City. You can show off your talent at the poetry gathering today."
Lu Baohua said: "It's just an empty reputation. My talent is still very shallow compared to my ancestors. My ancestors founded a women's academy so that women could take the imperial examinations. They were the models of talented women."
"Have you ever thought about taking the imperial examination?" Qi Yuning suddenly remembered that fifty years ago, women in Dasheng could still take part in the imperial examination.
However, after years of chaos at that time, even ordinary men found it difficult to study, let alone women. There were no women participating in the imperial examinations for a long time.
Lu Baohua shook her head and said, "My grandmother thinks that this is showing off, which is not what a decent girl should do. My mother is always filial to my grandmother, so I..."
Qi Yuning thought of Madam Lu and chuckled, "Why worry so much? You are the daughter of Duke Lu's mansion. As long as you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of others saying whether you are a decent girl? How many people dare to say that about the daughter of Duke Lu's mansion?"
Lu Baohua looked at Qi Yuning with envy and said, "Princess Qi is worthy of being the daughter of General Liu. Baoshuang and Baoxue like General Liu and take him as their role model. It's a pity that our Lu family no longer has military power. They are looking forward to joining the army and becoming generals..."
Qi Yuning chuckled. The girls in the Lu family had different personalities, but they were all generous and open-minded, not bound by the rules that the world gave to women.
Qi Yuning said: "It is not impossible for them to become female generals if they really want to. We, the Qi Family Army, also have about 5,000 soldiers in the capital, which can give them the chance to lead troops..."
These five thousand soldiers were specially allowed by His Majesty to stay for the purpose of protecting Qi Yuning. They can be regarded as Qi Yuning's private soldiers, which shows His Majesty's great trust in the Qi Palace.
Lu Baohua chuckled and said, "If Baoshuang and Baoxue knew this, they would definitely be very happy."
"What are you two talking about so happily? Lu Baohua, you have to figure out whose sister you are."
Lu Baozhu came over with her hands around her waist, followed by Qin Yuli, who had a vicious look on her face.
When Lu Baohua saw Lu Baozhu coming, he stood up and walked behind Lu Baozhu, looking at Qi Yuning with guilt.
Lu Baozhu asked, "Qi Yuning, why did you take my Ruyi White Jade Hairpin?"
Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Lu Baozhu and asked, "What?"
"The Ruyi white jade hairpin on your head was chosen by Lily a few days ago and she said she wanted to give it to me. She said so and you deliberately bought it in front of her. What do you mean by that? Do you think Lily is easy to bully?"
Lu Baozhu frowned unhappily and said, "This is a gift that Lily wants to give me, and you want to snatch it? Humph!"
Qi Yuning pulled out the Ruyi white jade hairpin from her hair, "Are you talking about this hairpin?"
Qin Yuli narrowed her small almond-shaped eyes, "Yes, I picked this out originally. I was going to give it to my cousin Baozhu to wear when she attended the poetry gathering of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You knew that I was going to give it to my cousin Baozhu, but you deliberately bought it first!"
Lu Baozhu and Qi Yuning had had many arguments at banquets in the past, and Qian Jinsui was used to it, but she would still come to watch the fun.
Hearing Qin Yuli say this, all the daughters looked at the Ruyi white jade hairpin in Qi Yuning's hand.
This white jade is smooth all over, and the carvings are exquisite. It is indeed a rare and good hairpin.
However, no matter how good the hairpin is, it is immoral for Princess Qi to snatch it.
Lu Baozhu said angrily: "Qi Yuning, how could you snatch the hairpin that Lili chose for me?"
Qi Yuning laughed.
Lu Baozhu said: "Qi Yuning, you can still laugh? Why did you snatch my hairpin?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I don't know when Miss Qin went to Shanzhou?"
Qin Yuli asked: "What do you mean?"
Qi Yuning said: "Because this hairpin was bought from Shanzhou, and since Miss Qin picked it, I guess she has been to Shanzhou?"
Qin Yuli said: "This is not from Shanzhou, this is..."
Qi Yuning fumbled with the white jade ruyi and said, "This hairpin is engraved with the mark of the largest jewelry store in Shanzhou. This hairpin was not bought by this princess herself, but was given to her by someone else. If you want to falsely accuse others in the future, Miss Qin, please do your homework!"
Lu Baozhu asked, "Was it given to you by someone else? Who gave it to you?"
Her elder brother has just begun to understand the ways of the world, and other wild men have already given her hairpins?
Lu Baohua whispered beside him, "Brother just came back from Shanzhou not long ago."
