Qi Yuning and Lu Ze looked at each other, and she didn't know how to explain it.
She would definitely not be willing to tell the outside world that Lingling died in infancy, but Lingling could not disappear for nothing, and she really needed an explanation to the outside world.
Lu Ze said: "Let's just say that Lingling has a fate with Taoism and was led by a Taoist priest to become a monk."
Qi Yuning nodded, this might be the best explanation.
Lingling left. Although Princess Pingrou was also disappointed, she was more happy: "Lingling was born on September 9th. She left yesterday. Was it because Ningning was already pregnant with her?"
Princess Pingrou walked to Qi Yuning and helped her sit down, "You have to take good care of yourself these days."
Lu Baozhu also walked to Qi Yuning and reached out to touch her flat belly, "Is Lingling already in there?"
Qi Yuning shook his head lightly, "I'm not sure."
She didn't want to have too many expectations and end up disappointed.
Lu Ze said: "Your menstruation has come around the 20th in the past few months. It's already the 24th and your menstruation hasn't come yet. If you haven't had your menstrual period by the end of the month, it must be because Lingling is already in your vagina." In the belly.”
Qi Yuning stretched out his hand to hold his lower abdomen. Indeed, he would be able to see Zhenzhang in a few days.
Lu Guogong said: "Let's all have a meal. If you really have Lingling, Yu Ning, you have to eat well."
Qi Yu Ning should be.
Lu Ze sat next to Qi Yuning and gave her some mutton. Qi Yuning had no interest in the mutton that he always loved.
Her eyes were only fixed on the plate of braised rock sugar turtle in front of her, which was always Qi Yuning's least favorite dish, but Lingling's favorite dish.
Qi Yuning motioned to the maid serving the dishes to bring her a rock-sugar turtle. Gu Yu didn't react for a moment. After all, her princess was always afraid of turtles and turtles.
Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning's strange behavior and gave Qi Yuning a piece of turtle leg.
If she hadn't seen Lingling eating it, Qi Yuning wouldn't have known how to eat turtle legs. Not to mention that she had always disliked the legs, but now they didn't taste difficult to eat. On the contrary, they were very delicious.
After dinner.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were called to a side room by Princess Pingrou.
Princess Pingrou said to Lu Ze, "Can't you sleep with Yu Ning these days?"
"Why?" Lu Ze frowned.
Princess Pingrou said: "Why do you think it is? What if Yu Ning already has Lingling in her belly? You can't sleep with Qi Yu Ning during this ten months."
Only then did Lu Ze realize that this roommate was not that roommate. Although they were newlyweds, Lu Ze would not ignore Qi Yuning's body and nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Princess Pingrou gave Qi Yuning instructions on things to pay attention to when she was pregnant, and Qi Yuning wrote them down one by one.
On the way back to their small courtyard, Qi Yuning put her hand on her belly intentionally or unintentionally.
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zedao: "I don't know if Lingling is in my belly yet. Mother is sure that I am pregnant with Lingling. If not, she will be so disappointed."
Lu Ze knew that if there was no Lingling, the one who would be most disappointed would be Qi Yuning.
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "Why don't you believe in your husband's ability? You and I are happy day and night, why can't we conceive Lingling?"
Qi Yuning pinched Lu Ze's waist shyly.
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand tightly, held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed Qi Yuning's forehead.
"You should be happy. Lingling is most afraid of your displeasure."
Qi Yuning responded: "Yeah."
The days of determining whether you are pregnant are difficult, but the end of the year is not a time of real leisure.
His Majesty's situation in the palace is getting worse and worse. As His Majesty's most beloved eldest daughter, Princess Pingrou goes to the palace almost every day.
The New Year matters in the princess mansion can only be left to Qi Yuning and Lu Ze. Being busy with the New Year matters has made Qi Yuning less anxious about having a spirit.
New Year's Eve.
Qi Yuan and Zhao Shu invited Qi Yuning and Lu Ze back to the palace for lunch.
Zhao Shu saw that the couple did not bring Lingling, "Why didn't Lingling come with them?"
Qi Yuning said: "Lingling met a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest said that she was destined to the Taoist sect, so he took her away to practice."
"Ah?" Zhao Shu was stunned, "Lingling is still so young, are you willing to do it?"
After listening to Qi Yuning's words, Qi Yu'an understood that the spirits that appeared out of thin air might disappear out of thin air.
Qi Yuning said: "Since she has a destiny, we cannot bear to leave her for the sake of her future. I want to go back to the room first."
Qi Yuan nodded.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze held hands and returned to Chunjiang Courtyard. The decoration inside was always the same as the day she got married.
There are still many knick-knacks that Lingling played with in her room, and the spring and autumn clothes that Lingling wore, everything has traces of Lingling's life.
During the meal, Qi Yuning saw the table full of Lingling's favorite dishes, and missed Lingling to the extreme.
Qi Yuan said to Qi Yuning: "I have discussed with your sister-in-law. When the weather gets warmer on February 2, we will take your nephew back to Beicheng."
Qi Yuning looked at Brother Yuan who was being held by Zhao Shu, not to mention that Brother Yuan and Lingling really looked alike.
Qi Yuning held Brother Yuan in his arms, looked at his faint smile, and thought of Lingling.
Qi Yuning remembered that Lingling had said that she liked Brother Yuan because he looked like Lingling. If Lingling left, she would be extremely reluctant to leave Brother Yuan again.
"Are you leaving so soon? Brother Yuan is still so young, can't we let him stay in Shengjing City for a few more days?"
Qi Yu'an said: "There are still bandits making trouble in Beicheng, and the surrounding countries should not be underestimated. Although more than ten years have passed, the remnants of the Northern Desert have not been completely eradicated, and Beicheng cannot leave me."
Qi Yuning touched Brother Yuan's little face and teased Brother Yuan, but he was also full of reluctance.
…
This year His Majesty is unwell and there will be no dinner at the palace on New Year's Eve.
All the noble families in Shengjing City can have a reunion year. In previous years, what Qi Yuning hated most was New Year's Eve without a palace banquet.
If there was a palace banquet, it would be lively. Without the palace banquet, the Qi family would be very deserted.
The Princess Mansion is very lively every New Year's Eve, and this year is no exception.
Lu Baozhu and Lu Yun both have fun-loving temperaments. They prepared firecrackers and fireworks early. They were going to take Lingling to play with them, so they prepared a lot of them. Unfortunately, Lingling was gone.
Qi Yuning could only watch the two siblings, Lu Baozhu and Lu Yun, playing around.
Lu Ze asked Qi Yuning from the side, "Do you want to go set off fireworks together?"
Qi Yuning nodded lightly.
Lu Ze said: "Take the incense and light it, I will protect you, don't be afraid."
Qi Yuning had Lu Ze hold her hand tightly and went to light the fireworks.
Seeing the fireworks blooming in the sky, Qi Yuning touched her belly. She wished she could still hear Lingling's hearty laughter when she saw the fireworks.
Lu Baozhu came to Qi Yuning's side and said, "By the way, you said last time that Lingling's future aunt will be A Ping and her second uncle will be Zhong Ming. What about her biological uncle? Have you asked her about my future husband? Who is it?"
"And me, and me, and who will be my future wife? Did Lingling say anything?"
Lu Yun also came over and said, "Isn't my wife very beautiful and gentle? Which family is she?"
