Deqing entered and said, "Princess, the master is having dinner at Qingshan Tower today, and he specially asked me to bring you your favorite food."
Qi Yuning glanced at Deqing. To be honest, Deqing was good-looking and had been with Lu Ze since childhood. As a personal attendant to the Regent, his actual power was no less than that of some officials with nominal positions.
Deqing's monthly salary did not come from the princess's mansion. Qi Yuning didn't know how much money he had, but he would surely not be poor as he stayed with Lu Ze.
However, Qi Yuning knew that these maids wanted to marry Deqing just to stay with her.
Deqing was stared at by Qi Yuning and said in panic: "Princess, I did not seduce these sisters..."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Today is a double blessing. I'll give you a bargain. You can choose one of them to be your wife."
Deqing knelt on the ground and blurted out without thinking: "Thank you, Princess. I choose Sister Lichun."
After saying that, Deqing raised his eyebrows shyly and looked at Lichun.
Lichun also glanced at Deqing's eyes and shyly avoided him: "Thank you, Princess."
Throughout April, Qi Yuning was looking for a maid to marry off. Jingzhe's family found a teacher for her. Guyu and Xiaoman were still young, so they hadn't settled down yet.
The status of marrying Chunfen was not low. The dowry of Chunfen, who married out of Prince Qi's mansion, was almost as high as that of the daughters of officials.
As for Deqing and Lichun, Qi Yuning rewarded Deqing with a three-courtyard house next to the Duke's Mansion for their marriage. He freed them from slavery and they no longer had to keep watch at night. They could work during the day and return home at night.
The teacher Jingzhe married was a famous figure. After failing the imperial examinations twice, he did not try to teach in the academy again. However, Lu Baohua recognized him and praised him a lot.
Qi Yuning thought that when the child grew up, he would be able to go to study with her husband Jingzhe.
June 6th.
When the family was having dinner, Princess Pingrou couldn't help but sighed and said, "Lichun and the others got married so quickly. I heard that they were pregnant at the Spring Equinox?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, we just found out that I'm pregnant. My parents-in-law are very happy."
Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Baozhu who was eating carefreely beside her and sighed deeply: "I don't know when I can hold my grandson in my arms."
Lu Baozhu said: "Isn't it easy for you to have a child? Shen Nian is about to give birth, Qi Yuning will be soon, then you will have three grandchildren to hold, and you won't be able to hold another one."
Shen Nian touched her belly and felt a pain coming. After all, it was not her first child. She calmly held Lu Yun's hand and said, "I'm going to give birth."
Lu Yun was completely shocked, "What should I do?"
Princess Pingrou had already made preparations, so Lu Yun didn't have to worry about anything.
Qi Yuning and Lu Baozhu went to the outside of Lu Yun's yard together. When they heard the screams coming from inside, Lu Baozhu felt a stomachache. "Hiss, giving birth sounds really scary."
Qi Yuning touched her bulging belly, and the pain she felt when she was born came back to her mind. She was afraid of giving birth to the baby in her belly now.
Lingling listened to the exclamation inside, looked at Han Ge'er who was standing there in a daze, walked over to Han Ge'er and said, "Brother Han, have some candy."
Han Ge'er's eyes were filled with tears, and he whispered in grievance: "My mother is in so much pain, will she die?"
Lingling shook her head and said, "No, eat candy!"
Regardless of whether Han Ge'er was willing or not, Lingling stuffed the candy in her hand into Han Ge'er's mouth.
Han Ge'er was eating candy and crying with grievance, looking so pitiful.
Lu Baozhu went over and picked up Han Ge'er, "Don't cry, your mother is giving birth to a brother for you."
"It's my sister!" Lingling shouted, "Auntie gave birth to my sister!"
Lu Baozhu said: "Okay, it's my sister."
In the delivery room, Princess Pingrou tried to drive Lu Yun out several times, but failed so she gave up.
Shen Nian held Lu Yun's hand tightly and said, "If, if something happens to me, you give Han Ge'er to my stepmother. Don't make things difficult for him. He really treats you as his father."
Lu Yun shed tears and said, "I don't want you to return my several children. Just return these two children. You have to be safe. If you leave, I will bully Huang Han to death. Who made him have no mother to take him? If you are gone, I will bully that little burden to death. Only if you live well can you protect your little burden."
Princess Pingrou glared at Lu Yun and said, “Chen Nian, don’t listen to his nonsense.”
There was no news from inside, which was very worrying. The Shen family arrived half an hour later.
Ning Wen went in hurriedly.
Shen Qian and Shen Jialin were waiting in the courtyard.
Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Baozhu and said, "Why don't you go and entertain them?"
Lu Baozhu asked: "Why don't you go?"
Qi Yuning said: "I'm pregnant, it's not convenient."
Lu Baozhu went over and said, “Master Shen San, please sit for a while. The imperial physician said that Shen Nian’s fetal position is very good. I think there will be good news soon.”
Shen Jialin looked into the room worriedly, walked over and held Lu Baozhu's hand tightly and said, "Where's Lu Yun? My sister is giving birth, why is he not here?"
"It's inside." Lu Baozhu took back her hand and said, "Please let go. It's so embarrassing to be in my house."
"It's dark, no one can see it."
Shen Jialin said so, but Qi Yuning saw the two of them holding hands. She didn't want to meddle in Lu Baozhu's affairs, so she just held Han Ge'er's hand tightly.
It is really heartbreaking to see Han Ge'er crying alone.
Fortunately, Lingling had prepared some candy beans early, and after Han Ge'er finished eating, she fed him another candy bean.
"Wow!"
There was a sound of a baby crying from inside.
Lingling clapped her hands happily and said, "The little sister is born."
Then there was another burst of crying.
Lingling clapped her hands happily: "Another little sister is born. Lingling now has two little sisters."
Duke Lu and Lu Ze, who were outside the courtyard, heard the baby crying and entered the courtyard.
Princess Pingrou went out with a smile on her face. When she saw Duke Lu, she said, "Mother and her two children are safe. They are two big fat boys. It's hard for Shen Nian."
Lingling walked up to Princess Pingrou, raised her eyes and asked, "Grandma, Lingling wants to see my sister."
When Princess Pingrou saw Lingling, her smile paused. She forgot about the sister Lingling had always wanted. She touched Lingling's head and said, "Lingling, they are not sisters. They are brothers."
"Ah, it's my little brother again!" Lingling was disappointed, "Lingling wants a little sister, wuwuwu."
Qi Yuning sat on the chair, hugged Lingling in her arms and coaxed Lingling, "There will be a sister. Mother has a sister in her belly. Don't cry. Today is the day when the two little brothers come to our house. You are a sister now. You can't let your brothers laugh at you for being a crybaby sister."
Lingling pursed her lips in grievance. Although she stopped crying, tears were still flowing.
Han Ge'er handed the candy beans in his hand to Lingling and said, "Sister, don't cry."
Lingling ate the candy, her peach blossom eyes curved and she smiled, "Yes, brother, Lingling, don't cry."
