Qi Yu'an frowned slightly when he saw Qi Yuning flirting with Lu Ze regardless of the situation, and coughed heavily as he passed by.
Qi Yuning withdrew from Lu Ze's arms.
Lu Ze regretted why he didn't ask for the marriage before coming to Beimo, which would have been more legitimate.
Qi Yuning followed Qi Yuan's footsteps and said, "Did A Ping's previous pregnancy die because of the Wen family's actions?"
Qi Yu'an said: "At that time, the doctor said that she was too weak and worried too much to have a child. At that time, she did have difficulty swallowing during the eclipse. So no matter what her identity is, you should not force her."
Qi Yuning said: "Even if I don't force her, there is no guarantee that she will be more worried when she returns to Beijing this time."
"Huh?" Qi Yu'an asked confused, "What is her identity? You have been hiding it from me so far?"
Qi Yuning said: "If she doesn't want to say it, I can't tell you."
…
Qi Yuning felt more anxious on the way back to Beijing than on the way to Beimo.
If it weren't for the fact that Lingling was young and Aping was still pregnant and couldn't hurry up, Qi Yuning would have loved to ride back to Beijing.
In the carriage.
Lingling practiced calligraphy next to A Ping and said, "Auntie, can you teach me how to write?"
A Ping said to Lingling in shame, "Actually, I can't even recognize a few words, let alone write a few words."
Qi Yuning looked at A Ping and said, "Didn't Grandma Qin teach you calligraphy?"
"No." A Ping blurted out.
After saying that, A Ping felt that she had missed something and said, "No, I don't know who the Aunt Qin the princess is talking about is?"
Qi Yuning smiled softly and did not try to expose A Ping.
Lingling then said to Qi Yuning: "Then let me teach my aunt how to calligraphy together!"
Qi Yuning said: "Okay."
A Ping lowered her eyes and said, "I am so stupid. Princess, please don't dislike me."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "You are so smart, how can you be stupid?"
A Ping said: "That's what the prince said about me. He once taught me how to write a few words, but then he thought I was stupid..."
Qi Yuning said: "He is stupid, so he deserves to be sad for so long. If he hadn't been rushing back to Shengjing City, he wouldn't have tricked you out so early and waited for him to be sad for a few more days."
A Ping said: "Is the prince really very sad? But when I left, he was unhappy with me because of the non-existent princess. Did the princess tell the prince something about your random guessing identity?"
Qi Yuning chuckled lightly and said, "My brother really doesn't know. You have been the only woman beside my brother for three years, which clearly shows that your status in his heart is different. In fact, even if you didn't fake your death, I don't think it would be possible." There will be other princesses, and he has already had true feelings for you."
A Ping's face turned red.
Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, what is true love? Is there any false love?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said: "Of course there are fake feelings. Men in this world are used to coaxing others. Some men will fake feelings for women in high positions in order to have a smooth official career and want to get help from their wives."
Qi Yuning looked at A Ping and said, "But my brother is definitely not this kind of person. You can trust him completely. Tell him your identity. It's very tiring to keep it to yourself."
A Ping still said: "I have no identity! None!"
Qin Feng and Lu Ze were eager to return to the DPRK to take office. The large army was moving too slowly, so the two of them rode back to the capital in advance.
Qi Yuning was worried about Lingling and could only follow the convoy back to Beijing slowly.
By the time they arrived in Shengjing City, it was already the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.
In the palace of Shengjing City, Xiao Man had already been told to tidy up all the courtyards.
Qi Yuning opened the carriage curtain and said to A Ping, "Sister-in-law, our home is here."
A Ping opened the curtain and looked at the magnificent mansion in front of her. There were three steps in front of the vermilion door. The main door was wide open, and the threshold was almost a foot high.
Lingling's little head also poked out of the carriage, and at a glance she saw Princess Pingrou, Lu Consort, and Lu Baozhu waiting at the gate of the palace.
"Grandma! Grandpa!"
Lingling didn't let the maid hold her, and jumped out of the carriage. Qi Yuning was so frightened that she even jumped from the carriage, "Lingling, how can you jump off at such a height?"
Lingling trotted up to Princess Pingrou. Princess Pingrou picked up Lingling and said, "After a year, Lingling is still the same. She hasn't grown up yet!"
Lingling was unconvinced and said: "Lingling has grown up a little!"
Lu Baozhu touched Lingling's little head and said, "Do you still remember me?"
"Auntie, Lingling brought you a gift!"
Qi Yuan got off his horse, came over and saluted, "Princess, Duke Lu."
Princess Pingrou said with a smile: "I haven't seen you Yu An for a long time. You are getting more and more handsome. They say that my Ze'er is the number one husband in the hearts of girls in Shengjing City. Once you come back to Beijing, this Shengjing City will The number one husband in a girl's heart must be you. It's a pity that this princess didn't give birth to a good daughter, otherwise you would have been my son-in-law."
Lu Baozhu said: "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not your good daughter?"
"You are my good daughter." Princess Pingrou said with a smile, "But you can't harm the Qi family!"
Lu Baozhu said displeased: "What do you mean by disaster? I have a good appearance, a good temperament, a kind person, and an intelligent person. Why am I not worthy of being the wife of their Qi family? If it weren't for the fact that after becoming Qi Yuning's sister-in-law, I have to serve her. Sister-in-law, I still have to marry brother Yu An."
Qi Yuning said: "Has your good temper, kindness and intelligence got anything to do with you?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Lingling, how are you, aunt?"
Lingling nodded and said: "Auntie is the best!"
Qi Yuning was a little bit tasteful.
Lu Baozhu said: "Can it be okay for my aunt to be your aunt?"
Lingling shook her head and said: "No, Lingling already has an aunt! An aunt is an aunt, and an aunt is an aunt!"
Qi Yu'an walked to the carriage, helped A Ping down from the carriage, and whispered: "The one holding Lingling is her grandmother, Princess Pingrou, and next to her is Lu Guogong, the current Prince Consort, and that young girl is their daughter Lu Baozhu and my sister have never been at odds with each other, but his nature is pure and kind."
A Ping stepped forward and saluted, saying, "See you, princess, Duke of the country, and princess of the princess."
Pingrou looked at A Ping in front of her and said with a smile: "Lingling's aunt is so beautiful. Yu An, you are so lucky to be able to find such a beauty like a fairy."
Lu Guogong looked at A Ping in front of him and said, "She looks familiar."
A Ping raised her eyes and looked at Princess Pingrou in front of her, who was also her biological sister. She was dressed gorgeously. She was nearly forty years old but still looked like she was less than thirty. The consort Lu beside her also looked very young. It doesn't look like the age of my grandparents at all.
Lu Baozhu looked A Ping up and down and tutted: "You two siblings have the same eyesight. How come she looks more like my eldest brother than me? Mom, you didn't give birth to a twin boy and a girl, right?"
When Princess Pingrou heard what her daughter said, she smiled and said, "She does look a bit like my Ze'er. When was she born?"
"I was born on the seventh day of March in the seventeenth year of the First Yuan Dynasty."
Princess Pingrou smiled slightly and said: "What a coincidence, my Ze'er is also the same age, just a few days younger than you. It's really a fate. How about I recognize you as my goddaughter? Our two families are more closely related." "
Qi Yuning looked at A Ping's expression from the side and saw that she was in a difficult situation and had no intention of helping her out.
Qi Yu'an really wanted Princess Pingrou to recognize Aping as her goddaughter. Aping's parents had passed away long ago. If he could recognize Princess Pingrou as his goddaughter, it would be easier to ask His Majesty to grant Aping the title of princess. (End of chapter)
