Qi Yuning slept for a long time, and when she woke up, the sky was already bright, and there was no heat around her.

She opened her eyes to see Lichun's anxious face, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Lichun said: "It's just four o'clock. ”

Qi Yuning was shocked when he heard this, "It's so late?" ”

"County Lord."

Qi Yuning saw a maid with raw eyes come in and salute, and raised her eyes to look at it.

The maid said respectfully: "The slave maid is the maid sent by Her Royal Highness the princess to serve the county lord, named Qiuyue, this is the spring flower, there was no big maid in the prince's room before, only the small maid and the miscellaneous maid, His Royal Highness asked the slave and maid to come over to serve the county lord first." ”

Qi Yuning glanced at the two of Qiuyue and Chunhua in front of him, and their faces were mediocre and honest.

Qiuyue and Chunhua came to serve Qi Yuning with warm water to get up and freshen up, and Lichun took the handkerchief and said, "I'll come." ”

After Qi Yuning freshened up, his bun was just pulled in a hurry.

When I went back to the palace, I learned that Qi Yu'an and Ah Ping had gone to the palace to thank them earlier.

Qi Yuning didn't see Lingling and asked, "What about Lingling?" ”

Seeing Qi Yuning's return, the spring equinox said: "The little county lord of Lingling is going to look for you when he gets up in the morning, and he cries a lot, and the prince just heard it, so he brought the little lord of Lingling into the palace together." ”

Qi Yuning pursed her lips lightly and instructed the spring equinox: "Burn this wooden bed and replace my previous dowry bed." ”

The vernal equinox responded, "Yes." ”

The Nanmu bed used for the dowry was unlucky, but because it cost a lot of carving work, and it was also made of golden silk Nanmu, it was not cut and burned.

At that time, Qi Yuning still wanted to keep this bed, and when Lu Yun left in the future, it could be changed into a coffin and give Lu Yun a ride, but now it can come in handy.

Yesterday, there were many overnight guests who wanted to leave, and they came to say goodbye one by one.

Qi Yuning was a little busy, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Qi Yu'an, Ah Ping, and Ling Ling returned from the palace.

"Lingling!" Qi Yuning walked up to Lingling and picked up Lingling, "Lingling's pigtails look good today." ”

Ling Ling snorted lightly, "Hmph! ”

Qi Yuning said: "Is Lingling angry? ”

Ling Ling snorted angrily again, "Hmph! ”

Qi Yu'an coughed and said: "I turned a blind eye to you, because I saw that Lingling was young and couldn't bear to let her be separated from her father, but I didn't let you come nonsense, do you still know the word reserved?" ”

Qi Yuning didn't dare to refute, so he had to coax Lingling in his arms and said: "My mother is wrong, can Lingling forgive my mother?" ”

Lingling said aggrievedly with tears: "Lingling woke up without a mother, woo woo." ”

Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and comforted: "In the future, my mother will never ignore Lingling again, Lingling don't cry." ”

Lingling cried a lot in Qi Yuning's arms, Qi Yuning comforted her, and agreed to Lingling's requests, and this Lingling fell asleep in Qi Yuning's arms.

Qi Yuning had a pool of tears on his shoulders, and after carrying Lingling to the bed, he changed his clothes, went to find Qi Yu'an and Ah Ping, and retired all the servants.

Qi Yu'an saw Qi Yuning coming alone, and his tone became more stern, "You have a lot of skills now?" ”

Qi Yuning said, "Brother, the reason why I went to the princess's mansion yesterday was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered my boudoir while I was asleep in the afternoon, and I couldn't sleep in the room. ”

Qi Yu'an was worried when he heard this: "What about them at the beginning of the spring equinox? Is there no one in your courtyard to keep people in and out? ”

Qi Yuning said: "Originally, I was the only master in the backyard, and the servants and maids below were all entertaining guests, and I set up a mother-in-law at the door of the backyard, because the prince entered the backyard with He Qing, and the mother-in-law did not stop me." Otherwise, if it was a male guest next to him, he would have been stopped when he entered the backyard. ”

Qi Yu'an frowned, looked at Qi Yuning worriedly, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "Fortunately, there is still a secret guard in the courtyard, and I went to invite Lu Ze, but nothing major happened, but I woke up suddenly and was shocked by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ah Ping was slightly shocked and said, "How can he do this to you? ”

Qi Yuning looked at Ah Ping and said, "Sister-in-law, now that we are a real family, I think you can tell me your identity, right?" ”

Ah Ping glanced at Qi Yu'an and said: "I have already told the prince, the county lord's guess is right, I should indeed be a princess, but I have no evidence, Mama Qin beside me confessed her guilt for the queen and her young daughter not to be implicated, and now I come out to tell the truth, I'm afraid no one will believe it." ”

Ah Ping whispered: "I just want to be safe." ”

Qi Yuning said: "Since you married my brother, there has been no peace and security, our Qi family can have today's glory, it is Your Majesty's Shengming, and changing the crown prince to the throne may not be able to accommodate the Qi family's more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the north."

Then Qin Yuli opposed me not long ago, and yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trespassed into my boudoir, isn't it because the Qin family and the prince have never taken the Qi family in their eyes?

Now His Majesty is still there, if His Majesty is gone one day, after the crown prince ascends the throne, our Qi family will have a knife hanging on his head. ”

Qi Yuning looked at Ah Ping's surprised eyes and said, "I know why I know that Lu Yun is not a good person when he is young and unlearned, but as soon as the Lu family goes to ask for relatives, do I still agree to marry him?" It is precisely because he is the son of the princess and the nephew of the prince that he has this relationship, and he can save the lives of the descendants of the Qi family.

But now that I know that the prince is not the princess's own brother, when the prince ascends the throne, he may not give face to Princess Pingrou's mansion and protect our Qi family, even if I marry Lu Ze, it will be difficult to protect our Qi family, and there has never been peace and security.

We can only set things right and maintain the bloodline of the Zhao family, Dasheng Jiangshan should be surnamed Zhao! ”

Ah Ping said worriedly: "But I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't believe it, county lord, I'm still pregnant, I can't take risks at this time, I don't have a child anymore, I'm afraid this child will ......"

Ah Ping looked at Qi Yu'an.

Qi Yu'an said to Qi Yuning: "Ah Ping is right, we can't convince Your Majesty just by Ah Ping and Mama Qin's words, there is no hurry to bring down the prince, I think it's better to take Ah Ping back to Beicheng, wait until your sister-in-law's child is born, and then go back to Beijing to demolish the prince, if you can't bring down the prince, at least the child can be safe." ”

Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Now the top priority of the Qi family is indeed the child in Ah Ping's womb.

Qi Yu'an said: "We plan to go back to Beicheng in a few days, you must cherish it in Shengjing City, if you and Lu Ze get married in the first half of the year, I may not be able to come back, you and Lu Ze will talk about it in the past two days, please have a meal with us in the Lu family." ”

Qi Yuning responded: "Wait for Lu Ze to come back tonight, and I will discuss with Lu Ze." ”

"Lord Wang."

The voice of the guard next to Qi Yu'an came from outside the door, and after Qi Yu'an opened the door, the guard entered and whispered a few words in Qi Yu'an's ear, and Qi Yu'an frowned.

Qi Yuning saw that Qi Yu'an's expression was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong, brother?" ”

Qi Yu'an closed the door and said, "Isn't there a Mama Qin by Ah Ping's side?" Mama Qin also gave birth to a daughter back then, in order to protect her daughter, she didn't dare to tell Ah Ping's identity at the first time, and now she wants Ah Ping to meet her daughter.

Ah Wei, who I sent to investigate the whereabouts of Mama Qin's daughter, was wrapped in a straw mat by the Qin family and thrown into a mass grave. ”

Qi Yuning said: "I'm afraid it's a startling snake, brother and sister-in-law, you better hurry up to Beicheng." ”

Qi Yu'an said: "It's not too late to leave after having dinner with the Lu family, it's not bad for these two days, if we leave directly, it seems that we are weak-hearted." ”

Qi Yuning said: "Yes, but Mama Qin's daughter...... By the way, sister-in-law, did Mama Qin tell me about the origin of the prince? ”

Ah Ping nodded lightly and said: "Said, Mama Qin said that the prince was born to the maid in the Qin family's eldest young master Qin Han's room, because the maid was not raised as a concubine, and few people knew about her pregnancy, and now the prince is my cousin." ”

Qi Yuning suddenly realized: "No wonder there was thunder in winter that day, and the mother knelt down, but there were five thunderstorms in the sky." ”
