Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "It's just to discipline Lu Baozhu, so this princess won't sacrifice her life. If I didn't like you, why would I let you sleep on the same bed with me?"
Lu Ze said: "Well, I know the princess likes me."
Qi Yuning blushed slightly, and then heard Lu Ze slowly say: "I like the princess too!"
Lingling said in Lu Ze's arms: "Lingling also likes Daddy and Mommy!"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly at Lingling: "Mother likes Lingling the most."
Lingling smiled and boasted, "Daddy, Daddy, Mommy said that she loves Lingling the most!"
Seeing Lingling showing off, Lu Ze just smiled and lowered his eyes to look at the tenderness in Qi Yuning's eyes.
He was glad that Lingling came, otherwise he would have missed Qi Yuning in this life.
Qi Yuning also looked up at Lingling. If Lingling hadn't come, how would she and Lu Ze be now? They would probably still dislike each other.
Maybe because of Lu Yun, she would give Lu Ze a cold look when she occasionally saw him and never have anything to do with him again.
Lu Ze gave Lingling to the maid, and asked her to take Lingling downstairs to wash up. Then he asked Qi Yuning, "Are you really not going to the East Palace to celebrate His Highness' birthday?"
"No, Lingling is afraid of His Highness. All of you in the Princess Mansion will go to His Highness' birthday celebration, and I have to stay to take care of Lingling." Qi Yuning paused, "Besides, there are people from Uncle Qin's Mansion who might come to me to plead for Qin Yuli. It's very annoying!"
In the past few days, she has received many visiting cards from Uncle Qin's house.
Lu Ze said: "That's right."
…
In the prison of Shengjing government office.
It was dark and cold, and the cell with a small window for ventilation was cold even with a charcoal brazier.
Qin Yuli cried and looked at Qin's wife Yu outside the prison and said, "Mother, save me, save me out."
Madam Yu held Qin Yuli's hand and said, "Lili, mother will find a way to rescue you, my poor child..."
Qin Yuli gritted her teeth and said, "Qi Yuning, I will never let Qi Yuning go. I will make her pay the price. Mom, please save me. I don't want to give my cousin Ze to her! I don't want to!"
Yu looked at Qin Yuli, wiped her tears and said, "Lili, don't worry, mother will definitely rescue you."
Qin Yuli cried and said, "There are still rats here. Mother, I really can't stand it for a day. Go and beg grandfather, go and beg my great aunt and my cousin, the prince, to let me out."
Yu clenched her hands and made up her mind, "Lili, don't worry, in a few days, mother will ask the prince to rescue you!"
After leaving the prison, Yu returned to her uncle Qin. As soon as she entered, she saw Qin Han flirting with the maid. She frowned slightly.
Qin Hanlian asked the maid to leave, "Madam, are you going to see Lily again?"
Yu looked at Qin Han and said, "Qin Han, Lily is my sweetheart. I can't bear to see her suffer any longer. If you can't save her, I will tell the prince about his identity. He is Lily's biological brother. If the prince is unwilling to save his biological sister, he can forget about being the prince!"
Qin Hanlian stretched out his hand to cover Yu's mouth, glared at her and said, "Don't you want to live?"
Yu cried bitterly, "I can't let Lili continue to suffer. My Lili has never suffered before. She just did something wrong for a while. How can she suffer so much in prison?"
Qin Han hugged Yu and said, "Just bear with it. The imperial physician said that His Majesty's health is getting worse day by day. Let's bear with it until the old emperor passes away. In the future, this Dasheng Kingdom will be ours. By then, we will definitely be able to rescue Lily and put Qi Yuning in jail!"
Yu cried bitterly in her husband's arms, "I don't want the kingdom, I want my Lily. Lily is in jail, and it's hard to talk about marriage in the future."
Qin Han said: "As you said, her brother will be the emperor in the future. Are you still worried that Lily can't marry a good husband? Doesn't Lily like Ze'er? When the time comes, Lu Ze will have no choice but to marry Lily!"
With the comfort of her husband, Yu gradually calmed down, "I don't know when the old emperor will die!"
Qin Han said: "It's almost there, it's almost there."
…
In the north city, inside Prince Qi’s mansion.
Nanny Qin got up early in the morning and cooked a pot of noodles. Ah Ping got up at the same time. Ah Ping smelled the fragrant egg noodles and smiled faintly, "Aunt, why did you get up so early today?"
Chunfen watched from the side and said, "This looks like the way longevity noodles are cooked. Is today Miss Ping's birthday?"
Ah Ping smiled and shook her head, "My birthday is not today, it's in February."
Nanny Qin said, "I just thought that Pingping would be leaving soon, so I specially cooked this bowl of noodles for her..."
Ah Ping looked up at Aunt Qin and said, "Aunt, you really won't go to Shengjing City with me?"
Mammy said, "No, I'm old, and my legs and feet are getting worse."
Although Aping was reluctant, she did not force her aunt. She touched her belly and smiled faintly.
When Nanny Qin went out, she saw several guards in gorgeous clothes holding a portrait and asking the merchants around Prince Qi's mansion.
When Nanny Qin looked over and saw the portrait of Ah Ping, her face turned pale.
When Nanny Qin saw the word "Qin" engraved on the jade pendants around the guards' waists, her scalp went numb and she returned to the palace nervously.
When Nanny Qin saw Ah Ping embroidering clothes, she pulled her sleeve and said, "Ah Ping, you can't go to Shengjing City! Let's go back to Shancheng."
Ah Ping held the small dress in her hand and said, "Mammy? I'm still pregnant..."
Nanny Qin said, "You have to go even if you are pregnant."
Ah Ping looked at Nanny Qin and said, "Mammy, what's wrong with you? After you found out I was going to Shengjing, you became so strange."
Nanny Qin looked at Ah Ping in front of her and said, "Ping Ping, you can't go back to Shengjing City. Come with me back to Shan City first, and I will explain everything to you."
Ah Ping looked at Nanny Qin and said, "Aunt, I won't leave unless you tell me to. I already have the prince's child, how can I leave the prince?"
Nanny Qin looked at Ping in front of her, tears in her eyes and said: "I originally planned to keep this a secret from you for the rest of my life, but now the Qin family is investigating you, I can't hide it from you anymore, Pingping, you are not an orphan child..."
Ah Ping looked at Nanny Qin and said, "I have a father and a mother?"
Nanny Qin nodded and said, "You have a father and a mother. Today is your birthday. You are not twenty years old, but already twenty-three years old. You just turned twenty-three today."
Ah Ping looked at Nanny Qin in surprise and confusion, "Mammy!"
Nanny Qin burst into tears and said, "Pingping, I was originally a maidservant of the Empress. The Empress was very kind to me and gave me the surname Qin. Twenty-three years ago, the Empress became pregnant in her middle age. It was a happy event. There was no legitimate prince in the palace, and everyone hoped that it would be a prince."
Ah Ping looked at Aunt Qin and said, "Queen? Maid? Aunt, are you crazy? These are too far away from us. Have you been stimulated by something?"
Nanny Qin said: "Pingping, I'm not crazy. Do you know why you are called A Ping? It's not because you were born like duckweed, but because the titles of princesses in this dynasty all start with the word Ping, so I call you A Ping. Do you know why you don't have a surname? Because your surname is Zhao, I dare not give you another surname..." (End of this chapter)
