Early in the morning, Zhao Shu learned the good news that Princess Pingrou had two grandsons, so she brought Yuan Ge'er to visit.
After visiting Shen Nian's room, Zhao Shu brought Yuan Ge'er to Qi Yuning's courtyard.
Qi Yuning smiled as he saw his nephew looking more and more like Lu Ze: "This is strange. Brother Yuan actually looks like Lu Ze when he was a child. If I had a son, maybe they wouldn't look this similar."
Qi Yuning already liked her only nephew Yuan Ge'er. Now that Yuan Ge'er looked more and more like Lu Ze, she liked him even more.
When Lingling came in, she saw Qi Yuning hugging Yuan Ge'er, and she said jealously: "Mom, you haven't hugged Lingling for a long time, but you hugged cousin!"
Qi Yuning opened her arms towards Lingling and said, "After the baby is born, mother will hold you every day."
Lingling pouted and looked at Yuan Ge'er, obviously disliking him very much. Yuan Ge'er, on the other hand, generously patted Lingling's head and said, "Lingling, don't be angry."
Lingling still pouted, and Yuan Ge'er became anxious, "Aunt, Lingling is angry with me. Will Lingling be unwilling to marry me in the future?"
Qi Yuning smiled as he listened to Yuan Ge'er's words and said, "Who said Lingling is going to marry you?"
Yuan Ge'er said in a baby voice: "Cousins always marry their cousins. This is called a closer relationship."
Zhao Shulian covered Yuan Ge'er's mouth and smiled at Qi Yuning: "Not long ago, the youngest daughter of the Zhong family in North City married her cousin, and Yuan Ge'er thought that his cousin and cousin were going to get married."
Lingling looked at Yuan Ge'er and said, "Lingling will not marry my cousin. Lingling wants to marry Brother Zhongyou and my uncle."
Yuan Ge'er threw himself into Zhao Shu's arms and said sadly, "Mother, my cousin, please don't marry me."
Qi Yuning looked at Yuan Ge'er. It would be nice if Lingling could marry back into the Qi family. However, Yuan Ge'er was not only Lingling's cousin, but also Lu Ze's biological cousin.
They are not ordinary cousins. Their relationship is complicated enough, and it will be even more complicated if they get married. This pair of cousins absolutely cannot get married.
Moreover, these two children look alike. Everyone can tell that they are siblings. It would be strange if they were husband and wife.
Qi Yuning asked Lingling: "Where did you go so early in the morning?"
Lingling said, "I went to play with my aunt. My aunt didn't let me tell her that I saw her sleeping with Uncle Linlin, so Lingling can't tell mother that my aunt and Uncle Linlin slept together."
Zhao Shu dropped the cup in her hand when she heard this. She looked at Ling Ling with a pale face and said, "What did you say? Your aunt and your uncle slept together?"
Qi Yuning explained: "He is not Lingling's uncle, but Shen Jialin from the Shen family. Lingling follows Han Ge'er and calls him uncle."
Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only a sigh of relief. She felt something was wrong again: "No, Baozhu hasn't gotten married yet."
Qi Yuning said: "Now she has to get married, sister-in-law, this matter concerns the reputation of the Lu family, I hope you don't say too much."
Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Of course."
After Qi Yuning sent Zhao Shu away, he went to find Lu Ze and told him about Lu Baozhu and Shen Jialin.
Lu Ze said, "Lu Baozhu is just fooling around. This time it's not up to her whether she wants to get married or not. I will go to the palace and ask His Majesty to issue an imperial decree to grant her marriage."
The imperial decree granting marriage was issued in the afternoon.
When Lu Baozhu received the imperial edict, she was bewildered. After receiving it, she looked for Lu Ze and said, "Brother, am I still your biological sister? Are you so intolerant that you want to kick me out of the house?"
Lu Ze said with a dark face: "You know what good things you did yesterday. The Lu family cannot cause another scandal of pregnancy before marriage."
Lu Baozhu held the imperial edict tightly and could only accept her fate.
I thought, if the imperial decree is issued, Mrs. Shen will be so angry that she will die according to her arrogant temperament. Mrs. Shen said that she was born in a humble family, but now she has to accept the imperial decree to marry her as a daughter-in-law.
Lu Baozhu felt relieved and relieved when she thought about it.
…
Lu Baozhu and Shen Jialin's wedding date is set for two months later.
Even if the Shen family was unwilling to marry Lu Baozhu, they did not dare to disobey the imperial edict at this time.
It was no small matter for the future head of the Shen family to marry. Originally, the Shen family was going to return to their ancestral home in Xiuzhou, Jiangnan, to hold a grand wedding, but Lu Baozhu was unwilling to travel so far to Xiuzhou, and with only two months to spare, she only wanted to get married in Shengjing City.
Princess Pingrou had been urging Lu Baozhu to get married, but when the time came to marry her daughter off, she was really reluctant.
The one who was most reluctant to leave was Lingling. She cried for a long time when she learned that her aunt had gotten married and could no longer stay at home.
Three days before Lu Baozhu's wedding, Qi Yuning took Lingling to give Lu Baozhu some dowry.
Lu Baozhu was trying on her wedding dress. When Qi Yuning saw the wedding dress in front of her, she was surprised to see that there was a peacock embroidered on the back of the dress. The peacock's feathers were made of green jade inlaid on gold and then sewn on to the dress.
A large area of gold and jade shows the luxury of the wedding dress, which is Lu Baozhu's style.
Lingling's eyes lit up and she said, "Aunt, you are so beautiful. Aunt, will you not come back after you get married? Can Lingling accompany you to get married? Lingling can't bear to leave you."
Lu Baozhu took off her wedding dress, held Lingling in her arms and said, "Auntie can't bear to part with you either. I really can't bear to part with you."
Lingling said: "Then Lingling will marry with aunt."
Qi Yuning tapped Lingling's forehead gently and said, "If you marry them together, you will be a burden."
Lingling said: "Uncle also often says that Brother Han is a burden. Does the term burden mean anything bad? Then Lingling will not like uncle anymore. He said Brother Han is not good."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly. Although Lu Yun said that Han Ge'er was a burden, he was not bad to Han Ge'er. Now that he had two biological children, he still often took Han Ge'er with him.
Han Ge'er is weak and is now training in the army. Lu Yun, who has always been lazy, also follows Han Ge'er into the Shengjing Guard for training and has managed to get a position as deputy commander.
Qi Yuning said: "If you marry your aunt, you will never see your father, mother and wet nurse again."
Lingling was stuck in a dilemma and said to Lu Baozhu, "Aunt, you must come home more often after you get married."
Lu Baozhu hugged Lingling tightly, feeling reluctant to let her go.
No matter how reluctant she was, Lu Baozhu still had to get married on the wedding day. It was Lu Yun who carried Lu Baozhu out on her back. Lu Yun cried so hard today. She was usually so afraid of her sister, but now all she felt was reluctance.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze standing beside her. Although his eyes were not red and he was not crying like Lu Yun, his expression was solemn.
Lingling, on the other hand, really did experience a life-and-death separation. She heard that one should not cry on the wedding day, and she really did not cry at all. However, she stubbornly followed behind Lu Baozhu's sedan chair, and refused to go back to the princess's mansion no matter what.
Lu Baozhu's peers in the Lu family have all been married, and Qi Yuning is about to give birth, so it is not appropriate for her to go to the Shen family.
Seeing that Lingling insisted on going, Qi Yuning gave Lingling to Lu Ze, who was sending her off for the wedding, and asked Ye Li to follow and take care of Lingling.
When Qi Yuning returned to the princess's mansion, she saw Princess Pingrou crying in Duke Lu's arms.
Qi Yuning thought that if Lingling got married one day, she would definitely cry. It would be great if she could find a child husband for Lingling and raise her at home.
Qi Yuning returned to the courtyard and saw a little boy with a delicate appearance. He was drawing on the ground with a branch. He tried to hide when he heard the noise.
Qi Yuning smiled softly when she saw it, "Che'er."
Chu Che walked up to Qi Yuning and bowed obediently, saying, "Princess."
Qi Yuning touched Chu Che's head and said, "Why did you come here alone? Where is your third sister?"
Ye Li has to take care of Lingling on weekdays, while Chu Che is mostly taken care of by his third sister. Qi Yuning feels sorry for Chu Che, because Lingling was born not long after he was born, and Ye Li gave all the care that should have been taken care of him to Lingling.
Little Chu Che raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuning and said, "I miss my mother."
Qi Yuning said: "You and your third sister will live in the princess's mansion in the future. Are you willing to learn martial arts to protect the little princess?"
Lingling already has maids around her, but she also needs a personal bodyguard who can protect her when she is outside. Little Chuche is only one month older than Lingling, but he is half a head taller than Lingling. He has long legs and arms and is a good material for martial arts.
Little Chu Che looked at Qi Yuning with blinking eyes, and nodded as if he understood, "Mother said to listen to the princess."
Qi Yuning said: "Then you must learn martial arts well, protect the little princess well, and listen to her instructions."
“Yes.”
