Qi Yuning felt relieved when she saw Lingling's tears turned into smiles, and went to the side yard with Lu Ze to see the two children brought out by the midwife.
The two children are chubby and a little wrinkled, and their eyes and brows vaguely resemble those of little bald men.
Lingling stood on tiptoe and said, "Lingling wants to see her brother."
The nurse held the child and bent over to let Lingling look at him.
Lingling held Han Ge'er's hand and said, "Brother, look how cute the brothers are."
Han Ge'er glanced at his two younger brothers, his eyes filled with tears: "Mother..."
Lingling took Han Ge'er's hand and said, "Lingling will take you to find mother."
Although the delivery room was not a place where children could enter, no one dared to stop Lingling, and Lingling brought Han Ge'er into the delivery room.
Han Ge'er saw Shen Nian, who was sweating and looked weak, and cried out, "Mother."
Shen Nian opened her arms and hugged Han Ge'er who ran to the bedside: "I'm sorry, Han'er, don't cry, mother's favorite child is still you, you and mother will take care of your brothers together in the future, okay?"
Lingling also crawled to the side of Shen Nian and said, “Aunt, isn’t Lingling your favorite child?”
Lu Yun said sourly, "Humph, how can you compare to Han Ge'er? You and your two brothers are weeds, only Han Ge'er is a treasure."
Lingling said: "Lingling is not a weed, Lingling is also a treasure, auntie, right?"
Shen Nian smiled softly at Lingling, reaching out to touch Lingling’s little face: “Well, Lingling is also Auntie’s favorite child.”
Lingling said: "Aunt is also Lingling's favorite aunt."
…
The Star-Moon Lake reflects the crescent moon and the starry sky.
At the lakeside, Shen Jialin held Lu Baozhu's hand and said, "I have made it clear to my mother that I will not go back to Lingzhou. You can marry me without worrying about my mother. She has a large family to take care of in Lingzhou..."
Lu Baozhu raised her eyes and looked at Shen Jialin. "After all, you are the eldest son of the family. You will go back to take over the Shen family. I know your mother looks down on me, but I will not accept this humiliation. This is the first time I have been told that I am of humble origin. I am of royal blood, and my father's family has been rich for hundreds of years..."
Shen Jialin said: "My mother is indeed old-fashioned. She doesn't dare to say this in front of others. We are getting older, but you still don't want to marry me. Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Is it me who doesn't want to marry you? It's you who have no intention of marrying me! It was your mother who hated me first..."
"You did have a bad temper back then. My mother taught me that women should be dignified since I was a child..."
Lu Baozhu glared at Shen Jialin and said, "My temper isn't necessarily that good right now!"
Seeing that Lu Baozhu was angry, Shen Jialin took a deep breath and said, "I really want to marry you."
Lu Baozhu looked at Shen Jialin and said, "Who will you help when I quarrel with your mother in the future?"
Shen Jialin looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "Can't you just stop quarreling? You will rarely see each other in the future if you live apart. During the holidays, you can stay in Shengjing instead of going back to Lingzhou with me."
Lu Baozhu looked at Shen Jialin and said, "You really still dislike me, otherwise why didn't you let me go back to Lingzhou with you? Do you think I am not worthy of entering the gate of your Lingzhou Shen Mansion?"
Shen Jialin held Lu Baozhu's wrist tightly and said, "I have never disliked you, but the interpersonal relationships between aristocratic families are not that simple. You are a respected princess in Shengjing City. You can do whatever you want, but when you go to the Shen family, you must abide by the rules of the Shen family and the rules of the aristocratic family..."
Lu Baozhu looked at Shen Jialin and said, "Why didn't your Shen family follow the rules of the royal family? Your mother can be so arrogant, not because your Shen family is so powerful, but because my grandfather and my brother are kind and didn't take action against you in order to consolidate the imperial power. Instead, they let you live in peace in a corner. Do you think you can really restore your former glory? Despise this princess? You are dreaming!"
Shen Jialin slowly let go of Lu Baozhu's hand and said, "I'll just ask you one more time, are you willing to marry me? If you don't want to..."
Lu Baozhu said, "What if I don't want you to do that?"
Shen Jialin pursed his lips and said, "Then I will have to marry someone else. I am no longer young and cannot waste time with you any longer."
Lu Baozhu was extremely angry and said, "Then go and marry someone else. Go, go now!"
As Lu Baozhu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, "You are such a bastard!"
Shen Jialin sighed and said, "I really don't know why I keep thinking about you with your temper."
It was obvious that Lu Baozhu was very spoiled and willful, and had all the bad tempers of a spoiled girl in Shengjing. She was not the talented woman he had always liked, and he could not even talk to Lu Baozhu about poetry and songs. But sometimes, as long as he could see her smile, he would be satisfied.
Shen Jialin felt that he was being shameless. It was obvious that Lu Baozhu was not suitable for him at all. They were not the same type of people and he should have ended the relationship right away.
But seeing her crying, Shen Jialin was reluctant to let her go. He went over and held Lu Baozhu in his arms and said, "You didn't want to marry me, so why are you crying now?"
Lu Baozhu raised her hand to slap Shen Jialin, but Shen Jialin held her hand tightly.
Lu Baozhu's hands were restrained, so she could only bite Shen Jialin's drooping lips. She bit with all her strength and did not let go until bleeding.
But as soon as she let go, Shen Jialin pouted her red lips, and the smell of blood spread between her lips and teeth.
The moonlight was soft, and Lu Baozhu took Shen Jialin to the small courtyard next door.
In the lakeside courtyard beside Xingyue Lake, you can see the scenery of Xingyue Lake by opening the window, and the lake breeze blows the curtains...
A thunder sounded, and raindrops as big as beans hit the window frames. The wooden windows kept opening and closing in the wind, covering up the creaking sound of wood in the courtyard.
Early in the morning.
Lu Baozhu was awakened by her aunt's baby voice.
When Lu Baozhu woke up, she felt very uncomfortable all over. She stood up and looked at her shoulders. When she saw Shen Jialin beside her, she even covered Shen Jialin tightly with the quilt.
"Aunt!" Lingling poked her head in, "Aunt, you got up so late today. Lingling is up too!"
Lu Baozhu covered herself tightly with the quilt. Seeing the maids like Ali coming in with Lingling, she said repeatedly, "Stop, all of you go out. Only Lingling is allowed to come in."
"Yes, Princess."
Lingling picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and said, "Aunt, you can't throw clothes around."
Lu Baozhu took the clothes from Lingling's hand, forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Lingling. Lingling, go outside and play on the swing and wait for your aunt."
Lingling nodded and said, "Oh."
After Lingling left, Shen Jialin lifted the quilt, looked at Lu Baozhu in front of him, and kissed her lips again until he felt a pain.
Lu Baozhu glanced at Shen Jialin and said, "You can leave now and marry someone else."
Shen Jialin frowned and said, "We are already husband and wife, do you want to deny it?"
Lu Baozhu pushed Shen Jialin and said, "Go quickly!"
Lingling pushed the door open and said, "Aunt, are you okay? Lingling has been waiting for a long time, Uncle Linlin!"
When Lingling saw Shen Jialin running over, she covered her eyes with her hands and said, "Uncle Linlin, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Lu Baozhu blushed and said to Lingling, "Lingling, you must not tell anyone that Auntie and Uncle Linlin sleep in the same bed. Don't tell anyone!"
Lingling nodded and said, "Well, Lingling won't tell others that Auntie and Uncle Linlin sleep in the same bed."
