Qi Yuning arrived at the small courtyard next door. He said that there was only one room in the small courtyard, and there were many guards standing outside. It was very dark inside, and next to it was the towering Prince Duan's Mansion, which blocked the sunlight in the room.
Qi Yuning entered. The courtyard was very small, with a peach tree, an ancient well next to it, and a fence surrounding a mud field. Because there was no sunlight, vegetables grew sparsely in the mud field.
Song Heqing was stroking the guqin in the courtyard. When she saw the person coming, she was stunned and said with tears in her eyes: "Yu Ning!"
Qi Yuning stepped forward and hugged Song Heqing, who looked very unhappy, "Heqing."
Qi Yuning saw Song Heqing wearing coarse clothes and looking very sad, and said with great distress: "He Qing, please leave here. You and Qin Chong can make peace with each other and you can still live your old life."
Song Heqing shook her head with tears in her eyes, "No, I can't let him go."
"He Qing."
Qin Chong's voice came from inside.
When Qin Chong came out, he saw Qi Yuning with a self-deprecating smile on his face, and wanted to look at her greedily.
Seeing Qin Chong's eyes full of anger, Qi Yuning said to Song Heqing, "Heqing, leave here. He is not worth your suffering here."
Song Heqing couldn't let go of his eyes and only whispered: "I'm sorry."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "Forget it, I can't persuade you even if you don't want to."
"Are you married to Ze'er?" Qin Chong asked, "You should also be married, right?"
Qi Yuning said to Qin Chong: "It has nothing to do with you whether I get married or not. He Qing gave up his glory and wealth for you and suffered here with you. As long as you have some conscience, just be nice to her!"
After Qi Yuning finished speaking, he didn't want to stay here.
After going out and seeing the sun, Qi Yuning recalled the darkness and cramped conditions in the courtyard just now, feeling full of discomfort. She didn't understand why Song Heqing was so confused.
I don't know how long it will take for her to wake up and avoid this pain.
Before she came to her senses, Qi Yuning stopped feeling sorry for her. Why did this stupid girl have to ask for trouble?
In the next few days, Qi Yuning asked the maid or Lu Baozhu to bring Lingling to play with little Zhao Jie, while Qi Yuning stayed at home to handle business matters and prepare for the marriage.
The busy days passed very quickly, and it was the end of September in the blink of an eye.
On the day when Qi Yuning could finally see her nephew, Qi Yuning took Lingling, who was still sleeping, to the city gate early in the morning.
Lu Ze specially spared two hours today to come out to welcome his parents back to Beijing.
Lu Ze hugged the sleeping Lingling and saw Qi Yuning, who was looking forward to it so much, and said, "I'm so happy to see my little nephew."
"Aren't you happy that there is finally one more person in this world who is connected to me by blood?"
Qi Yu Ning was looking forward to his infant nephew. When he arrived at the city gate, he waited for almost an hour and finally saw the motorcade coming from Beicheng.
The carriage at the head was pulled by eight horses. The carriage was extremely spacious, like a spacious small house.
Lingling on the city wall pointed to the carriageway in the distance, "Mother, the carriage is coming."
Qi Yuning walked down the city gate and rode to greet him.
In the carriage, Qi Yuan opened the door of the carriage, looked at Shengjing City, which was just around the corner, and smiled at A Ping: "Shengjing has arrived. It seems that we can go to the palace to see His Majesty the Queen today."
A Ping held the baby in her arms, full of nervousness.
Different from the last time she met His Majesty, the recognition after knowing her identity this time made A Ping feel mixed emotions.
Pingrou comforted A Ping and said, "Sister, you don't have to be too nervous. Although parents are the masters of the world, they treat their children just like ordinary parents in the world."
A Ping took a sip of tea and nodded: "Yes."
"Brother, sister-in-law!"
When Qi Yuan saw Qi Yuning riding a horse, followed by Lu Ze and Lingling, he stopped the carriage and said with a smile: "Sister."
Qi Yuning got off the horse and got on the carriage. When he saw Princess Pingrou, he said, "Your Highness."
"Yu Ning."
Pingrou's eyes were focused on Lingling, who was being held by Lu Ze, "Lingling."
Lingling threw herself into Pingrou's arms, "Grandma, aunt, uncle, I want to see my little cousin!"
Princess Pingrou smiled and rubbed Lingling's head, and took Lingling over to take a look.
Qi Yuning looked at the little baby in A Ping's arms. It had white skin and a pair of eyes like Lingling. No wonder Lingling said that her cousin looked similar to Lingling.
At first glance, it looks very similar to Lingling.
"Can I hug you?" Qi Yuning asked nervously.
A Ping smiled lightly and opened the swaddling clothes, and gave the unswaddled child to Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning held the two-month-old soft baby in her arms. She felt extremely nervous, and even the posture of holding her was awkward. It's extremely weird.
A Ping smiled lightly and said: "The way the princess holds the child does not look like she has been a mother."
Qi Yuning laughed sarcastically. She had never been in contact with such a soft spirit before, "Have you chosen a name? What is it called?"
Qi Yu'an said: "My name is Qi Zhiyuan, and my nickname is Brother Yuan, which means reunion."
Qi Yuning called out to the soft child in her arms with a gentle expression, "Brother Yuan, I am your aunt."
After Lu Ze exchanged greetings, he also moved closer to Qi Yuning and looked at the child in her arms. He had long heard Lingling say that Brother Yuan looked similar to her. From this look, he really was a smaller version of Lingling.
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze approaching, and said to brother Xiaoyuan with peach blossom eyes, "This is your cousin Ze."
Lu Ze: "..."
The child was indeed right to call him cousin, but calling Qi Yuning aunt and calling him cousin felt weird no matter how they sounded.
"Lu Ze, look at Brother Yuan, he's so cute, he can still smile."
Qi Yuning felt her heart melt when she saw the soft smile on her nephew's lips.
Lu Ze smiled slightly and said, "He is indeed very cute."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Lingling, why are you crying?" Princess Pingrou hugged Lingling and said, "Why is Lingling uncomfortable?"
Lingling said aggrievedly: "Mother only hugs and likes my cousin. I don't want Lingling anymore."
Qi Yuning quickly returned the child to A Ping, then stepped forward to hug Lingling, "Silly Lingling, how could my mother not want you? You are my most important treasure!"
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling tightly, unwilling to let her feel any grievance.
Everyone returned to the palace to rest for a while, and then Qi Yuan took Qi Yuning and Aping's child into the palace.
Princess Pingrou and Lu Ze did not go to the palace. Compared with her parents, Princess Pingrou missed her children whom she had not seen for a long time.
Just when I returned to the princess mansion, I saw Lu Baozhu, who was still asleep, but not Lu Yun.
Princess Pingrou said to Lu Ze: "You are serious, why don't you care about your sister? How can she sleep until almost noon when she is nineteen years old? Where is Yun'er? Where did she go wild again?"
Lu Guogong spoke for Lu Ze, "You also said that Baozhu is nineteen, and it is inconvenient for Ze'er to go in at will in her courtyard. How can you control her sleeping until noon? Yun'er really needs to be taught a lesson, knowing that we are coming back today. , I still don’t know where I am.”
Lu Ze knelt in front of Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu, "Father, mother, I didn't take good care of my brother."
Princess Pingrou was shocked when she saw Lu Ze kneeling down, "What's wrong with Yun'er? What happened to him?"
Lu Ze said: "He...he suffered a brain injury and forgot about his future and past events. He is now in Lingzhou."
Princess Pingrou was shocked and said: "What?! You didn't tell me about such a big thing earlier, no, his brain was injured and he forgot the past. Why did you let him go to Lingzhou? Why didn't you take him home?" "
Lu Ze said: "He has determined that Mr. Shen's adopted daughter Shen Nian is his wife. He will follow Shen Nian no matter what and does not want to come back."
Princess Pingrou turned to look at Lu Guogong and said, "Do you think Yun'er is deliberately pretending to forget about the future and the past, but in fact he just wants to shamelessly have a wife?"
"It's hard to say, but Yun'er doesn't have the ability to deceive Ze'er, right?"
Lu Ze said: "Yun'er shouldn't be pretending. Shen Nian's husband died not long ago, and he still has a son. Now Yun'er also believes that that son is his..."
Princess Pingrou: "I picked up a grandson for nothing?"
Lu Ze felt helpless at Princess Pingrou's thoughts, "Mr. Shen just sent a message and will come to Shengjing City in mid-October. My brother will also return by then."
