Shen Nian listened to the words inside and looked at Qi Yuning's bulging belly. In the summer, her thin clothes just showed the shape of her belly.
"Princess, why are you here too?"
Lu Ze asked, "Isn't there no one in the Qi family?"
Lu Ze's tone was indifferent, but Shen Nian could hear some complaints.
After Lu Ze and Qi Yuning left, Shen Nian belatedly remembered that she was once a member of the Qi family.
After Qi Yuning got on the sedan chair, Lu Ze did not follow in the sedan chair, but just rode a horse beside Qi Yuning's sedan chair.
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning in the sedan chair, "Even if no one from the Qi family came to offer condolences today, I don't think Uncle Xu will say anything. Why do you have to come to offer condolences while pregnant?"
Qi Yuning listened to the unhappy voice and said, "I know my own body well. I care about the baby in my belly more than anyone else. I just don't want the Qi family to lose the relationship with people in Shengjing City. That's all. Don't blame me anymore."
Lu Ze said: "I just said something to you, not blaming you."
Qi Yuning touched her belly and said, "What I said is not blaming you. You have never spoken to me in this tone before. Are you like Lu Baozhu, thinking that since I am married to your Lu family, I have to obey you in everything?"
Qi Yuning was so angry that he lowered the carriage curtain.
Lu Ze was also angered by Qi Yuning's words. "If I hadn't seen you looking at cousin Fang crying and feeling so sad, why would I have bothered to talk to you like this? You really don't know how to appreciate a good person."
Qi Yuning opened the carriage curtain, glared at Lu Ze and said, "Who are you calling a dog?"
Lu Ze said: "I didn't say I was Lu Dongbin."
Qi Yuning lowered the carriage curtain, and tears welled up in her eyes for some reason. She always thought that tears were useless.
When she had an argument with Qin Yuli when she was young, she was disgusted when she saw Qin Yuli crying to gain sympathy from adults.
I don’t know if it was because of her pregnancy, but she actually started crying just because of a few words of bickering with Lu Ze.
The more I don’t want to cry, the more I can’t stop my tears.
When getting off the sedan chair, Qi Yuning wiped her tears with a handkerchief. After getting off the sedan chair, her eyes were still filled with tears.
Seeing Qi Yuning's tearful face, Lu Ze was about to leave, but he dismounted and walked to her side, "Why are you crying?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I'm crying because you called me a dog. I guess you don't know how to cherish me after marrying you! I might as well go back to my parents' home."
Qi Yuning withdrew his foot just as he was about to step into the princess's mansion and went straight to Prince Qi's mansion nearby.
Lu Zelian followed and said, "Why don't you cherish me? I didn't say you were a dog."
"Isn't the previous sentence of not knowing good people's hearts like a dog biting Lu Dongbin?" Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "How dare you say you didn't say it."
After Qi Yuning entered the palace, he ordered his subordinates to close the side door heavily. Lu Ze was disappointed and felt that Qi Yuning was inexplicable.
It was inappropriate for her to go to the palace to pay her respects today as she was pregnant, but he did not blame her. He just said a few words, and she started crying and wanted to go back to her parents' home. So he simply went straight to the palace to do his business.
At dusk.
Qi Yuning was looking at the small fish that Lingling had previously raised in the lotus tank in Chunjiang Courtyard. The image of Lingling lying in front of the tank and shouting, "Little fish, grow up quickly," was still vivid in his mind.
Lingling has always wanted to eat the fish in this water tank. Now the fish have grown up and can be eaten, but Lingling thinks it will take many years before she can eat these fish.
I don’t know if these fish can survive until Lingling comes out.
After dinner, Qi Yuning returned to his room to rest and picked up a book to read.
Lichun and Chunfen looked at each other in bewilderment, but Chunfen stepped forward boldly and said, "Princess, it's almost dark now, we should go back."
Qi Yuning snorted, "Where to go back to?"
Chunfen pointed to the princess's mansion next door. Qi Yuning said, "I won't go back."
…
In the princess's mansion.
Lu Baozhu changed her clothes and came to have dinner. She said to Princess Pingrou, "Cousin Fang cried in my arms all day today. It was really tragic."
Princess Pingrou sighed and said, "Fang'er is a child with a miserable life. Where is Yuning? Didn't she come back with you?"
Lu Baozhu said: "She came back with my brother a long time ago."
"No." Princess Pingrou frowned and said, "Yu Ning hasn't come back all day."
By chance, Princess Pingrou saw Lu Ze entering and asked, "Where's Yu Ning?"
Lu Ze glanced at the table and saw that Qi Yuning was not there. He frowned slightly and asked, "She hasn't come back yet?"
Princess Pingrou asked, "Where did she go?"
Lu Ze pursed his lips gently and said, "I'll go find her."
Lu Ze went straight to Prince Qi's mansion next door. Apparently, no matter what, the guards of the mansion were unwilling to open the door for him. The same thing happened when he arrived at the side door in the backyard.
"Master Lu, please don't embarrass us. The princess said you are not allowed to come in!"
"We can only obey the princess' orders."
When Lu Ze saw the tall walls of Prince Qi's mansion, his brows furrowed even more.
“Brother, are you going to make Qi Yuning angry and send her back to her parents’ home? You are really capable!” Lu Yun leaned against the side door of the princess’s mansion and gave Lu Ze a thumbs up, “You are truly a role model for our generation! You avenged me, your brother!”
Lu Ze glared at Lu Yun, "You want to go to North City, right?"
Lu Yun shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! Don't let me go to North City. I'll tell you a place that will take you into the palace."
Lu Ze looked at Lu Yun, obviously agreeing.
Lu Yun pulled Lu Ze to a dog hole. "I'm afraid even the people in the palace don't know where this dog hole is. Only I know it. You can crawl in. I've tried it before and it worked, but I almost got stuck."
Lu Ze couldn't do such a thing as getting stuck in the dog hole. If he was stuck in it, his reputation would be ruined. He looked at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds. He thought that God was helping him.
…
After Qi Yuning fell asleep, she was filled with nightmares.
In her dream, she was under the spirit flag. She heard Madam Zhou say that judging from the shape of her belly, it must be a girl. She had another big argument with Lu Ze.
They parted on bad terms, and she moved out of the princess's mansion completely and moved back to Prince Qi's mansion.
At night, there was a thunderstorm. She looked through the fog at the alley at the side door of Prince Qi's mansion. Lu Ze was standing there, soaking wet. She felt extremely distressed.
Hearing a loud thunder, Qi Yuning suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.
Listening to the voices of Jingzhe and Guyu outside, "It looks like a heavy rain is about to fall. I wonder if Master Lu is still waiting outside the door. Although it is June, I will definitely get sick if I get caught in the rain!"
"Why feel sorry for Master Lu? He has made our princess so angry that she has returned to her parents' home."
Qi Yuning listened to the rumbling thunder outside. She finally felt distressed and ordered, "Let Lu Ze come in. It doesn't matter if he gets soaked, but without him, there will be no one to handle the important matters in the court."
Qi Yuning thought, she is really loyal.
When Lu Ze entered Qi Yuning's room, he was already drenched by the rain.
There was a thunderstorm outside. Lu Ze walked over to Qi Yuning and held her in his arms. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have argued with you. You're pregnant now, so it's inevitable that you'll be unreasonable!"
Qi Yuning stared at Lu Ze blankly, "Who is being unreasonable?"
"Is it okay for me to be unreasonable?" Lu Ze said in defeat, "Come back with me. Mother will inevitably worry."
Qi Yuning said with tears in her eyes: "You came to me just because you were afraid that your mother would worry?"
Seeing Qi Yuning's tears in her eyes, Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Have you also acquired Lingling's crybaby nature?"
"My Lingling is very well-behaved and doesn't like to cry." Qi Yuning couldn't stand anyone saying bad things about Lingling, even if that person was Lingling's biological father.
Lu Ze gave Qi Yuning a thumbs up while wiping her tears and said, "I was wrong. I was unhappy with you going to pay your respects at first, and I was also worried about your health and Lingling. My tone might have been a little unkind..."
"It's very unkind."
Lu Ze said: "Well, I was wrong, so Princess Qi, can you be magnanimous and forgive me?"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly, leaned into Lu Ze's arms and said, "Yeah."
Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked Qi Yuning's belly. "Mrs. Zhou's vision is accurate. She saw at first glance that you are pregnant with a daughter."
Qi Yuning recalled the strange dream just now, and then thought of what Madam Zhou said just now, "She said that the baby in my belly is a girl, which shows that she has bad intentions. She just doesn't know that what we hope for is a daughter!"
In this world, everyone thinks that having a boy is much more precious than having a girl.
Although Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were both looking forward to the birth of their daughter, it did not mean that Mrs. Zhou's words were well-intentioned. Qi Yuning knew very well what Mrs. Zhou was thinking.
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "That's right. The thunderstorm outside is about to stop. Come back with me."
Qi Yuning said: "We are all back. I want to stay here for a few more days before returning to the Princess's Mansion."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and asked, "Isn't the Princess's Mansion good?" (End of this chapter)
