Qi Yuning said: "Lingling has already called him uncle, so even if you think it's inappropriate, they are all your cousins' husbands. But Lingling, you can't call them uncle when you meet them later."
Lingling said: "Lingling, you must be a polite and obedient child. You must not fail to call your uncle when you see him."
Lu Ze touched Lingling's little head and said, "You can call them uncle first, but you can't call them uncle yet."
Lingling nodded her head and said, "Lingling remembers it."
The Qi Wang Mansion in North City seldom holds banquets, so when the princess came to North City, she invited the three generals of the Qi family army to attend the banquet with their entire mansion, and the three families did not dare to neglect them.
Wen family.
Madam Wen put an expensive red coral headpiece on Wen Yalan and said, "Yalan, you played with the princess a few times when you were young. You must seize the opportunity to make friends with the princess in the next few days. Maybe the princess will like you, and you will be lucky enough to become the principal wife of Prince Qi.
You are not young anymore. If you cannot become the concubine of Prince Qi, it will be difficult for you to find another good marriage partner."
Wen Yalan looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "The prince said that it is not appropriate to take a concubine since he has not yet married a princess. I think the prince is already over 21 years old, so maybe he will get married and marry a princess next year..."
Madam Wen said, "What do you mean he hasn't married a princess? That's just an excuse. When Miss Ping died, the prince even proposed a ghost marriage, wanting to marry a dead person as his princess. Fortunately, that person was unlucky. She got pregnant but lost her life..."
"Mom, Miss Aping is still alive." Wen Yalan said.
Madam Wen frowned and said, "How come she is still alive? No wonder the prince was so sad a few days ago and invited us to a banquet today...
But you don't have to worry about Miss Ping. If she had died before, the prince might have remembered her kindness and given her a princess title. Now that she's alive, she can only be a concubine. After all, you are different from her. You will definitely be a concubine when you enter Prince Qi's mansion."
Wen Yalan sighed softly, "I hope so."
When the Wen family and their entourage arrived at the palace, people from the Zhong and Zhu families had already arrived.
When Wen Yalan entered the backyard, she saw the women from the Zhong and Zhu families were already there, chatting with Miss Aping.
Mrs. Zhong smiled softly at Ah Ping and said, "I think your baby is likely to be a son. A daughter in the womb would be a relief. You have severe morning sickness this time."
Madam Zhu said, "That's not necessarily true. When my sister was pregnant with a daughter, she had severe morning sickness. But whether Miss Ping is pregnant with a boy or a girl, the Qi family will have an heir. The spirits of old Prince Qi, Sister Liu, and General Qi will surely be pleased."
Ah Ping stroked her belly gently and said, "I prefer daughters. It would be great if they could be like Lingling and Jiang'er."
Jiang'er is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhong family and is almost four years old.
Lingling hadn't played with playmates of the same age for a long time. She was very happy to see her four-year-old sister Jiang'er. She held her own small peach wood sword and practiced with Jiang'er.
Jiang'er rarely saw such a fair and cute little girl in North City, and the two children quickly became good friends, playing with small wooden swords and playing house with dolls.
Qi Yuning saw Jiang'er and Lingling having fun and smiled softly. When she saw Madam Wen and Wen Yalan coming, she said, "Aunt Wen, Yalan."
Madam Wen and Wen Yalan both bowed repeatedly, "Princess."
Qi Yuning said: "No need to be polite, today is just a party to celebrate the New Year, to celebrate my sister-in-law's resurrection and pregnancy."
When Madam Wen heard the word "sister-in-law", she said, "Princess, you can't call her sister-in-law. Miss Ping is just a concubine."
A Ping gently stroked her lower abdomen, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Wen, then looked at Wen Yalan beside her, and lowered her head.
Qi Yuning said, "Miss Ping follows my brother, and she has never been a concubine, so she can't be considered a concubine. My brother plans to return to Shengjing after the Chinese New Year and ask for an imperial decree to grant Miss Ping the title of princess. It will be sooner or later that she will be called sister-in-law."
Madam Wen was surprised and said, "Princess, she is just an orphan girl from a mountain village, how can she be worthy of Prince Qi? Even if Prince Qi's wife is not a princess of the royal family, she must be the daughter of a noble family, right?"
Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other. Their three families have known each other for more than 20 years, and Mrs. Wen really hasn't improved at all since she was young.
The Princess and Prince Qi have already decided on this matter, so is it not up to the wives of their subordinates to have their say?
Madam Zhu said, "We are a family of military commanders, unlike those civil officials who only care about bloodlines. The prince and princess must have good vision."
Mrs. Zhong looked at Ah Ping and said, "When I first met Miss Ah Ping, I vaguely felt that she had a noble aura, but I didn't expect that she was so noble beyond words."
After becoming the Princess of Qi, didn't she become one of the richest women in Dasheng?
Qi Yuning said: "Aunt Zhu and Aunt Zhong are right. I remember that Uncle Wen was just born in the mountains. At that time, because Uncle Wen was an orphan, he was picked up by my grandfather and taught kung fu. Now Uncle Wen has become a famous general. It can be seen that it is a joke to talk about the origin of a military general!"
Madam Wen looked embarrassed, and then smiled awkwardly and said, "The princess is right."
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhu talked to A Ping about some things to be careful about during pregnancy and childbirth, and Qi Yuning was listening and learning from them.
Although Lingling is this old, she has never given birth to a child, so she needs to prepare early.
Mrs. Zhong said, "The first three months and the last three months of this child's life are the most important. Miss Ping must be extremely careful during this period."
Madam Wen said, "This Miss Ping is pregnant, and the prince doesn't have anyone to take care of him. Since the prince is going back to the capital to report to His Majesty about marrying a princess, shouldn't the concubine also be on the agenda?"
Although the ladies of the Zhong and Zhu families looked down on Madam Wen's eagerness to make her daughter a concubine, they agreed with this matter.
"The Qi family's bloodline is weak. Your Majesty should consider taking in a concubine and a few more concubines to expand the Qi family."
"The Qi family has too few descendants now."
Qi Yuning looked at Ah Ping who had stopped smiling and said, "Ms. Ah Ping is strong and healthy, she can always give birth to more children. Besides, Lingling is also of the Qi family's bloodline, maybe she can change her surname to Qi in the future. The Qi family will never lack children in the future, so there is no need to take concubines."
When Lingling heard Qi Yuning calling her, she raised her eyes and smiled, "Lingling wants to have the surname Qi, so that she and mother can have the same surname."
Qi Yuning picked up Lingling and said, "Lingling is so good."
Madam Wen said, "Children have always taken their father's surname. Princess, you should consider the matter of a concubine in the palace."
Qi Yuning said slowly: "There will be no concubines in Prince Qi's mansion, and no concubines will be taken in."
How could the consort of a princess of the dynasty take a concubine? Ah Ping was most likely a princess. Even if Qi Yu'an wanted to take a concubine, Qi Yuning would stop him, not to mention that Qi Yu'an didn't want to.
"Princess!" Madam Wen said anxiously, "Shouldn't we ask the prince whether the palace wants to take in concubines or concubines?"
Qi Yuning said: "My brother means the same thing."
Ah Ping raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Yuning, her eyes full of disbelief.
Wen Yalan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said, "The prince is really infatuated with Miss Ping!"
Qi Yuning smiled at Wen Yalan and said, "Yalan, you will meet a husband who is devoted to you in the future. There are many good men in North City. Which one do you like? I will help you choose a good husband and act as a matchmaker."
Wen Yalan said: "Since I was a child, I have only believed that the prince is my husband. If I can't marry the prince, I would rather cut my hair and become a nun!"
Mrs. Wen said anxiously: "Yalan, please don't do anything stupid!" (End of this chapter)
