Early in the morning, it started raining continuously outside again.
As the Qingming Festival approaches, there is also a lot of rain.
After Qi Yuning settled the money for the wedding and dealt with the account books, he took Lingling to the Song Mansion in the afternoon.
Song Heqing's wedding was approaching, and the Song family was filled with joy.
Qi Yuning entered Song Heqing's house and saw two nuns.
Seeing that Qi Yuning was curious about the identity of the nanny in front of her, Song Heqing said, "This is the nanny my mother hired to teach me the rules."
Qi Yuning said: "He Qing, I want to talk to you alone."
Song Heqing asked the two nuns and the maid in his room to go down.
Qi Yuning handed Li Chun Ling to Li Chun and Chun Equinox, "You take Li Ling to play in the yard."
Song Heqing watched Lingling leave and chuckled: "Lingling is getting cuter and cuter. It's getting hot now. It's really interesting to see her wearing a small skirt. It makes people want to have such a cute baby." girl."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "My Lingling is not only cute, but also very considerate and well-behaved."
Song Heqing asked: "Yu Ning, is Lingling really your and the prince's child?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes."
Song Heqing saw that Qi Yuning was unwilling to tell the truth, so he didn't say anything more.
Qi Yuning poured a cup of tea for Song Heqing and said, "Heqing, you and I have been sisters for many years. Let me get straight to the point. Heqing, the prince is not a good man. You cannot marry him."
Song Heqing took the tea brought by Qi Yuning and said: "Yu Ning, I have made up my mind. I will only marry His Highness the Crown Prince in this life. No matter what, I will only marry him!"
Qi Yuning asked: "Even if he can't ascend the throne?"
Song Heqing took a sip of tea and said, "Don't laugh at me. I wish he could not ascend the throne."
Qi Yuning raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
Song Heqing said: "If he is just an idle prince, maybe he and I can be as affectionate as Prince Duan and his wife. Even if there are concubines, there will be no power struggle between the sisters in the backyard, and I won't have to worry about my future children. Worry.”
"What I wanted to be was never a princess, let alone the Lord of the Sixth Palace. I just wanted my husband to be Zhao Chong, that's all."
Qi Yuning said: "He is not worthy of your sincerity towards him. Do you remember that on my brother's wedding day a few days ago, you came to look for me in the backyard?"
Song Heqing nodded and said, "Well, I wanted to talk to you at that time, but the maid said you were catching up on your sleep, so I left."
"The day you left my courtyard, His Royal Highness pretended to be drunk and lured Li Chun into my room." Qi Yuning looked at Song Heqing and said, "Heqing, he is really not worthy of your sincerity."
Song Heqing looked at Qi Yuning in surprise and said, "Yu Ning, I don't think His Highness did this on purpose. Maybe he wasn't pretending to be drunk but was really drunk..."
Qi Yuning said: "I regard you as my best sister and best friend. Do you really want to marry a scoundrel who breaks into your good sister's room? Are you going to defend him?"
Song Heqing said: "Yu Ning, is there some misunderstanding?"
Qi Yuning said: "There is no misunderstanding."
Song Heqing pursed his lips lightly and said, "Yu Ning, I think His Highness the Crown Prince may have been confused for a moment after drinking. He didn't do anything to you after all, right?"
Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Song Heqing and said, "You clearly know his behavior and you still excuse him. It's simply hopeless!"
Song Heqing drank all the water in the glass and said: "My mother died when I was young, and my stepmother was not kind. There was a concubine in the house who fought with me. The concubine took advantage of her aunt's favor and pushed me into the river during a hunting. If Without His Highness the Crown Prince's rescue, I would have lost my life.
At that time, my father wanted to protect my concubine. My stepmother dared to bully me, the legitimate daughter left by my previous wife, but she did not dare to deal with my concubine, whom my father doted on. My father and stepmother blamed me for going to the river for fun.
I fell into the river when I had a cold and a cough. The concubine who pushed me into the river was fine, but I was accused of being playful and made to kneel in the autumn without saying anything. It was His Highness the Crown Prince who stood up for me.
Without His Highness, I would have died in the river long ago, or perhaps on that autumn night when I was forced to kneel. Since I was twelve years old, Your Highness has always been in my heart.
Yu Ning, if His Highness the Crown Prince really has any thoughts about becoming a disciple of you, there is no need to be secretive at all. He is the Crown Prince, why would he sneak into your room in such a despicable manner? He could have had all the beauties in the world at will, so maybe he was really drunk. "
Song Heqing held Qi Yuning's hand with both hands and said, "Yu Ning, believe me for once. I believe that the Crown Prince I like is a good person. Maybe he is really drunk..."
Qi Yuning took out his hand from Song Heqing's hand and said, "I've tried to persuade you, but if you don't listen to me, you'll be asking for regrets in the future. I'll leave first."
Song Heqing said repeatedly: "Yu Ning, I want you to be my bridesmaid and accompany me to marry into the East Palace."
"I have no time."
Qi Yuning left three words coldly.
Song Heqing looked at Qi Yuning's back and tightened his hand, "I'm sorry, Yuning..."
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and left the Song Mansion.
Jingzhe was waiting on the carriage and saw Qi Yuning with a confused look on her face and asked, "Princess Princess."
Lingling also saw the sullen look on Qi Yuning's face, "Mother, please don't be angry. Mother, please be happy."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "Aunt Song, you are so stupid!"
Qi Yuning was still full of anger when she returned to the palace. She heard that Shuangjiang, who was helping her manage the property of medical clinics in various places, was coming, so she went to meet Shuangjiang in the study.
"Uncle!" Lingling shouted sweetly when she saw Shuangdang, "aunt, Lingling hasn't seen you for a long time!"
Shuangjiang saw the little girl next to Qi Yuning. She looked familiar. She was wearing a bright yellow spring skirt. She had a delicate white face and smiled at the little girl.
Then he knelt on the ground and saluted Qi Yuning: "See you, Princess."
Lingling walked up to Shuangsheng and said, "Auntie, don't you know Lingling? Auntie, why do you kneel down to my mother?"
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling's name and asked Lingling: "Lingling, what did you call her?"
"Auntie!" Lingling said: "She is the aunt of my father and mother, and she is Lingling's great-aunt."
Shuangjiang said repeatedly: "Little sister, you are mistaken. I am not married yet."
Lingling said: "You are my great-aunt! Lingling did not admit her mistake!"
Qi Yuning thought that Lingling's great-uncle would only be with Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning's biological uncle also died in the Battle of Bei Mo long ago. His maternal grandfather and grandmother died early, and the other cousins are no longer close. When Qi Yuan got married a few days ago, there were people from the Liu family.
But after the wedding banquet, they left. In the past, the Liu family did not come to try to catch up with the Qi family's wealth. They only occasionally interacted with each other on important matters. Among Qi Yuning's cousins, the youngest ones were all over forty. There are grandchildren.
And Lu Ze has a lot of uncles. There are seven biological uncles alone, and countless cousins and uncles.
I wonder which of Lu Ze’s uncles Shuangjiang married?
However, Qi Yuning thought that he was not one of Lu Ze's seven biological uncles. After all, Shuangsheng was a son of the Qi family.
Shuangjiang smiled at Lingling and said, "Little sister, you really admitted your mistake."
Lingling got closer to Shuangjiang and took a closer look at Shuangjiang's appearance, "Lingling just saw it right, dear mother, Lingling didn't see it wrong, right?"
Shuangjiang was extremely shocked when she heard Lingling calling Qi Yuning her mother, "Princess, is this your child?"
She hasn't returned to Beijing for more than half a year. How could the princess have such an older daughter?
"Well, Lingling is my daughter."
Qi Yuning said to Lingling: "Lingling, your confirmation is wrong. This is not great-aunt, but aunt Shuangjiang."
Lingling frowned, "No, Lingling didn't admit her mistake! It was my mother who did, she is my great-aunt!"
