Chapter 8 Finding a gentle and beautiful princess for Lu Ze
Qi Yu'an choked on the wine he had just taken when he heard this. "Ahem, ahem! Sister, what did you say?"
Qi Yuning said: "Lingling is my biological daughter. I didn't tell you the truth just now because I was afraid that you would be angry if you knew that I had a child out of wedlock."
Qi Yu'an coughed a little and said, "Sister! How can you be so confused? You and Lu Ze have a daughter, so why are you engaged to his brother Lu Yun?"
Qi Yuning explained, "Lu Baozhu asked His Majesty to grant the marriage. When I found out, the imperial decree had already been issued. How could I dare to disobey it?"
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "What about Lu Ze? He has a child with you, why doesn't he come to marry you? And he is engaged to the daughter of the Guan family? This bastard should have been made to kneel down just now!"
A lie needs countless lies to cover it up. Qi Yuning was prepared and said, "At that time, Lu Ze and I were young and ignorant and acted absurdly. Later, we separated because of our personality differences and only then did we know that Lingling was born. Lu Ze and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Marriage is irrelevant."
Qi Yu'an slammed the table and said angrily, "No wonder Lu Ze actually knelt down when you asked him to. He deserves to kneel down after doing such a bastard thing to you!"
Qi Yuning said: "Brother, don't scare Lingling, it's over."
Qi Yu'an said: "Qin Feng, Lin Jiang and Lu Ze are good friends, so it's not right for you to marry them. I'd better find another good husband for you. I will definitely find you a husband who is better than Lu Ze!"
Qi Yuning said: "Brother, my engagement was just cancelled and I don't want to get married now. Doesn't the palace allow Lingling and I to be together?"
Qi Yu'an said, "No, this is also your home. You can stay in the palace as long as you want. But people outside say that you can't get married. Today I heard that you should not marry Princess Qi. Don't you think about whether they are worthy of you?"
Qi Yuning said, "Brother, why do you have to be angry about those rumors? The rumor that you should not marry Princess Qi was spread by the Guan family."
"Three years ago, when the Guan family first came to Shengjing City, in order to make their three unmarried daughters famous and find good husbands, they deliberately spread rumors that if they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, they should not marry Princess Qi, but a daughter of the Guan family. In this way, all the high officials and nobles in Shengjing knew about the daughter of the Guan family."
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "How dare this happen? How dare the Guan family bully you like this! Who are the Guan family? How dare they use your reputation to gild their own reputation? Are you going to let others bully you when my brother is not in Shengjing?"
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "The great ones are idle, the small ones are busy. The Guan family has used such disgusting means and they will get their comeuppance. There is no need for me to care about it. It will only dirty my own hands!"
Qi Yu'an said, "Three years ago, wasn't it when you just came of age? They wanted their daughter to be famous, but did they ever think about how your marriage would be ruined? You can let the Guan family off easily, but I can't."
"Brother, I'm not going to spare them."
Qi Yuning said coldly, "But the daughter of the Guan family is not even qualified to appear under my nose. The best daughter of the Guan family who married was only the wife of a prince of a baron's mansion. The good husband who got her by stepping on my reputation is not worthy to appear in front of me. It's too cheap for me, a princess, to argue with such a family."
Qi Yuning has her own pride, and in her eyes, the Guan family is just like a little mantis blocking a car.
If Lu Baozhu knew about this and argued with a little mantis like this, she would laugh at me!
Qi Yu'an asked, "Isn't the sixth daughter of the Guan family engaged to Lu Ze? They stepped on your reputation to get engaged to Lu Ze, and you don't mind it?"
"If Miss Guan Liu can really come to me, I will definitely not let her off!"
Qi Yuning didn't care because the Guan family had a low status and was not even worthy of being in her eyes. Why should she bow her head and care?
Qi Yu'an said: "Alas, I thought Lu Yun was a jerk enough, but I didn't expect that the two brothers of the Lu family are also jerkish!"
Qi Yu'an has a fair complexion and looks like a scholar, but after all, he grew up in a military camp and can't help but swear.
Qi Yuning covered Xiao Lingling's ears.
…
In Xianglin Temple.
Bald Lu Yun sneezed several times in a row, and looking at the table full of green leafy vegetables in front of him, his face turned green.
"Abbot, besides these grass leaves, can't you eat something else? Scallions mixed with tofu would be fine!"
"Amitabha, onions are meat, and since you have entered Buddhism, you should enjoy these. These dishes are already very good. If you follow the princess's instructions, you would have to eat rice bran and rotten leaves every meal."
Lu Yun: “…”
Lu Yun ate green leafy vegetables all day long without any meat. He felt that his chin had become pointed just from one day, and he felt a little regretful.
Or, just marry Qi Yuning?
"Have you heard? Today, Prince Lu went to the Qi family to apologize, and Princess Qi actually asked Prince Lu to kneel down to her. Prince Lu is a man of great stature, the grandson of His Majesty, and Qi Yuning asked him to kneel down. He is so arrogant!"
"Did Prince Lu really kneel down?"
"Kneel down! This matter has spread everywhere. Princess Qi is so arrogant. Who will be willing to marry her in the future?"
"No wonder Prince Lu wanted to become a monk because he couldn't live a good life. He married a princess like this and made men kneel before her every day. Who could stand this?"
Lu Yun's regretful thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he felt deeply touched. His elder brother was so good to him.
How could he not know in the past that his elder brother cared so much about him? When this storm has passed and he has returned to secular life, he will definitely find a gentle and beautiful princess for his elder brother.
In the princess's mansion.
Lu Baozhu walked into Lu Ze's study room angrily: "Brother, you actually knelt down to Qi Yuning? You are embarrassing me too much, aren't you? I have been fighting with her for eighteen years, and you kneel down to her. How can I have the face to be in front of her in the future?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Lu Yun is your brother, and you actually knelt down for him. Qi Yuning, I am also your sister!"
Lu Ze put down his pen and said, "I didn't kneel to Qi Yuning for Lu Yun."
He knelt only to dispel the anger of the Qi brothers and sisters and to see Lingling more often in the future.
He also knew that Qi Yu'an had always been loyal to the royal family and would not watch him kneel down.
Lu Baozhu asked again, "Brother, I heard that your marriage with the daughter of the Guan family didn't work out?"
"Um."
Lu Baozhu said: "That's good, I remember who this daughter of the Guan family is!"
"Three years ago, there was a rumor in Shengjing that if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, don't marry Princess Qi, but marry a girl from the Guan family. Qi Yuning thought it was a rumor spread by me. Later, we found out that the Guan family made up this rumor in order to make their three unmarried daughters famous and find good husbands. They used their bad reputation to trample on Qi Yuning and help the Guan family girls gain a good reputation among the aristocratic families in Shengjing. The girls from the Guan family are not good people!"
The nine-linked ring in Lu Ze's hand moved slightly and said, "Princess Qi knew that the Guan family humiliated her, so she let the Guan family go so easily?"
This seems to be different from the rumored Princess Qi who is vindictive.
Lu Baozhu stood up and said, "Brother, what are Qi Yuning and I? It's disgusting to attack the Guan family. No matter how they jump around, they can't jump in front of us. Only my cousin and I are worthy of being Qi Yuning's mortal enemy. The girl of the Guan family is not worthy!"
Lu Ze: "Do you feel honored to be Qi Yuning's mortal enemy?"
"That's it!" said Lu Baozhu.
Lu Ze smiled lightly. No wonder Qi Yuning was unwilling to talk about the grudge between her and the daughter of the Guan family in front of him. It seemed that in the eyes of the arrogant Princess Qi, the three words "daughter of the Guan family" were not worthy of appearing in her mouth.
At night in Prince Qi's mansion.
After taking a bath, Lingling changed into a light yellow undergarment, and lay in Qi Yuning's arms and said, "Mom, where is Dad? Dad and Mom can't leave Lingling."
Qi Yuning felt distressed. She thought that neither she nor Lu Ze recognized Lingling during the day, and Lingling must be afraid.
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and said, "Daddy is busy."
Lingling blinked her eyes and said aggrievedly: "Daddy, do you still not want Lingling? Daddy hasn't even hugged Lingling today."
Lingling shed a tear of grievance, "Mom, darling, Lingling misses daddy."
Qi Yuning wiped Lingling's tears and told Lichun, "Go to the Princess's Mansion next door and tell Master Lu to meet at the side door of the alley east of the Princess's Mansion."
"yes."
Qi Yuning coaxed Lingling softly, "Mom will take you to see Dad."
Lingling raised her eyes and nodded her head: "Yeah!"
Qi Yuning asked: "Lingling, how did Daddy treat you in the past?"
Lingling said: "Daddy treats Lingling very well, but he is not good at night. Daddy likes to hug Mom and kiss her when she sleeps, but he won't let Lingling hug Mom and kiss her. He also lets Lingling sleep in the next room with the nurse."
