Lu Ze didn't say anything, and Qin Yuli clenched her fists again and asked, "Cousin Ze, what is the relationship between Princess Qi's daughter and you?"
"What it has to do with me, it has nothing to do with cousin Qin."
After Lu Ze finished speaking, he saluted Princess Pingrou and said, "I'll take my leave first."
Princess Pingrou chuckled and nodded: "I have lost a lot of weight after walking for half a month. Go and rest quickly."
Qin Yuli chased after Lu Ze unwillingly. She never thought that Lu Ze would have a relationship with Qi Yuning. "Cousin Ze, what is your relationship with Princess Qi?"
Lu Ze frowned and said to Qin Yuli, "Why does cousin Qin ask this?"
"Qi Yuning is just a watery and dishonest woman, don't be fooled by her!" Qin Yuli said, clenching her hands.
Lu Ze said: "Where is Princess Qi unclear?"
"She is unmarried and has a daughter..."
Thinking that Qi Yuning's daughter looked exactly like Lu Ze, Qin Yuli added, "The reason why Qi Yuning broke the eighth prince's leg was because Qi Yuning wanted to be the eighth prince's concubine. She drugged her to devote herself to the eighth prince. , but the Eighth Prince still didn’t want to marry her, so she broke the Eighth Prince’s legs in anger!”
Lu Ze clenched his fists, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Yuli said: "A year ago, Qi Yuning drugged the eighth prince, and she has become the eighth prince's wife a long time ago. Qi Yuning is a dirty and lowly daughter who can do everything in her power!"
Lu Ze frowned and said in a cold voice: "I know that Sister Qi is an upright and innocent person, but you, on the other hand, talk behind people's backs, slander others, and are dirty and despicable. Who in the entire capital can compare to you, Miss Qin?" ?”
Qin Yuli said with red eyes: "Cousin Ze."
Lu Ze turned around and left. Qin Yuli's eyes were red and she was crying.
…
Chen hour later, Qi Yuning summoned Butler He again.
When Butler He came in, the little Lingling ran into Qi Yuning's study: "Mom, daddy is here and he wants to take me hiking!"
Jing Zhe, who was following Lingling, said: "The prince is at the side door, and asked the servant to ask the princess if she wants to take Miss Lingling to climb the mountain?"
It rained and missed the Double Ninth Festival last time. After that, there was the Wanshou Banquet to go to the imperial mausoleum, plus I went outside to investigate the case. Indeed, I never took Lingling out to climb the mountain.
Seeing Lingling's excited and smiling face, Qi Yuning naturally didn't want to let her down, "Jingzhe, go and prepare two clothes for Lingling, prepare a change of clothes for me, and prepare more cakes."
"yes."
Lingling raised her arms and said to Butler He: "Uncle He, Lingling is going to climb the mountain!"
There is a new mistress in Prince Qi's palace, and the entire palace is much more lively than before.
Butler He looked at Lingling and chuckled: "If Miss Ping's child had not been lost a year ago, the Beicheng Palace would have been so lively."
Qi Yuning asked: "Didn't Miss Ping take any anti-pregnancy medicine?"
If he didn't know that his brother was going to marry a princess in the future, then Qi Yuning felt that it would be fine if his concubines did not take the medicine to avoid children. The Qi family was too short of children, and the Qi family was a family of military commanders, so it would be better if the family was full of descendants.
But if she becomes a princess in the future, the eldest son may be in trouble.
Butler He said: "No, the prince said that the palace is too deserted, so naturally the more children the better."
Qi Yuning said: "How many concubines does my brother have?"
"Just Miss Ping." Butler He replied.
Qi Yuning pursed her lips. She was not allowed to interfere with matters in her brother's room, but Qi Yu'an said the more children the better, so why did he only have Miss Ping as a concubine?
It's not that Qi Yuning hasn't thought about her brother's marriage in the past two years.
But Qi Yuan always said that the marriage was not in a hurry. Beicheng was miserable and it was not convenient for the noble daughter of the Shengjing family to suffer in the past, so he was in no rush for the marriage.
In the past, Qi Yuning felt that his brother really cared about his future sister-in-law, but now he thought about it, could it be that Miss Ping's status was important to him?
What will happen to the princess sister-in-law in the future?
Qi Yuning asked again: "How did Miss Ping lose her child?"
Butler He said: "Miss Ping came here on the run. At that time, her body was not well-rested. After she got pregnant, she was too worried and had a miscarriage."
Qi Yuning sighed: "She is also a poor person."
Afternoon.
Lingling always jumped up and down when she went out, and almost everyone in Prince Qi's mansion knew that she was going to climb a mountain.
After Qi Yuning walked out of the main entrance, he didn't see the palace's carriage, but he saw the princess's carriage.
Qi Yuning asked Li Chun beside him, "Where is our carriage?"
Lu Ze walked up to Qi Yuning and said, "I'll take the princess's carriage out today."
Lingling opened her hands and let Lu Ze hold her. Lu Ze chuckled and carried Lingling into the carriage, and then reached out to help Qi Yuning get into the carriage.
Qi Yuning did not refuse Lu Ze this time. She wanted to put her hand on Lu Ze's wrist, but Lu Ze held her hand instead.
Qi Yuning glanced at it, said nothing, took Lu Ze's hand and got into the carriage.
The carriage was spacious, and Lu Baozhu was actually inside.
When Lingling saw Lu Baozhu, she went to her arms and said, "Auntie!"
Lu Baozhu hugged Lingling and said, "Auntie misses you so much!"
Qi Yuning saw the deep love between his aunt and nephew and turned away to look away.
Lu Ze sat across from Qi Yuning and said, "Why is the princess so unhappy?"
Qi Yu would rather not admit that she was jealous of Lu Baozhu, "I just heard that my brother's concubine gave birth to a fetus. If the fetus is still alive, I will be an aunt now."
Lu Baozhu said in surprise: "King Qi actually has concubines? Then I have to persuade Lu Baoxue to give up King Qi, but he must not find a husband who takes concubines. We Lu family men do not take concubines."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze. He originally thought that Lu Ze's statement about the princess not allowing him to take concubines was just a lie, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Lu Baozhu's eyes wandered between Lu Ze and Qi Yuning and said: "Don't worry, my brother only has you now. There are no Yingying Yanyan around him. Instead of worrying about my concubine, you should worry about Lin Jiang and Qin Feng. They are inseparable from my brother."
Qi Yuning: "..."
Lingling stuck her head out of the carriage window, and just for a moment, she was pulled back by Qi Yuning.
But at this moment, Qin Zhen on Xuanwu Street could see clearly.
That was the carriage from Princess Pingrou's mansion, and the little face sticking out was the child that Qi Yuning took to the wedding banquet yesterday.
Qin Zhen clenched her hands and frowned. Could it be that Qin Yuli really made a mistake about the woman Lu Ze liked?
Just when Qin Zhen was puzzled, he heard two merchants passing by say, "Oh, things are fickle. Prince Lu likes Miss Guan so much that he was going to marry Miss Guan. Who would have thought that Miss Guan became His fifth aunt."
"What did you say? How could Prince Lu like Miss Guan?"
"How can it be false for Prince Lu to order a batch of pearl noodles for Miss Guan Liu in my shop? Prince Lu and Miss Guan Liu often came to our shop to buy jewelry before. Prince Lu and Miss Guan Liu are in love."
"How come I heard that Prince Lu and Princess Qi have a daughter?"
"If the two of them had a daughter, they would have announced their marriage to the world. I have also seen Prince Lu and Miss Guan Liu boating on the lake and having a tryst in the plum garden. They were so in love. It's a pity that fate makes people difficult to get married. .”
Qin Zhen suppressed his unhappiness after listening to the discussion between the two people.
The two merchants who were discussing walked around an alley, where a woman wearing a maid uniform and a veil gave each of the two merchants one tael of silver, "You did a good job."
"Thank you for the reward, girl. If you have such a job in the future, come to us brothers!"
After Guan Zhijian watched the two vendors leave, she took off her mask and breathed a sigh of relief. Naturally, she also saw the Princess's carriage just now.
Looking at the direction the carriage was going, Guan Zhiyi laughed to himself.
Even though he obviously didn't like Master Qin, he still tried his best to protect this marriage.
Lingling in the carriage wanted to stick her head out, but Qi Yuning restrained her in his arms, "Today's carriage belongs to the princess's palace, you can't stick your head out."
Lingling said: "Why can't the head of the princess's carriage be stuck out?"
Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Ze and said, "Because others will think he is your father's."
Lingling threw herself into Lu Ze's arms: "But he is Lingling's father."
Qi Yuning said: "But you can't let others know."
Lu Baozhu lowered his voice and said to Lu Ze: "Brother, you are so useless. Lingling is also your daughter after all, but you don't even have a status."
Lu Ze smiled indifferently and looked at Qi Yuning, "I wonder when sister Qi will be willing to give me a title?"
