Qi Yuning mentioned that he wanted to take the little emperor out to see the lotus leaves among the people, but he did what he said, and when he was resting on Qixi Festival, he took Xiao Zhao Jie to her Zhuangzi in Shengjing City.

Zhuangzi is very lively, it just so happens that Aunt Li in Zhuangzi has just given birth to a son safely today, and they happened to catch up.

This Aunt Li is not very old, only twenty-five, she was originally a maid by Qi Yu'an's side, after Qi Yu'an went to the barracks, she didn't follow her, and married the head of the Zhuang in the Qi family's Zhuangzi.

Although she is only twenty-five, she already has three children, and today this is the fourth.

Aunt Li is also a person with a hard life, and now that the baby is just pregnant, her husband has died.

Qi Yuning had heard about this before, and she was embarrassed by her alone with several children, so she let her continue to stay in Zhuangzi and manage Zhuangzi.

As soon as this child was born today, he also lost a father.

Happy or not, Qi Yuning is pregnant with a child, so it is not good to go to the delivery room to see Aunt Li, so she only asks Lichun to carry the newborn child to her yard and show her.

Xiao Zhao Jie stepped forward and looked at the newborn child and said, "He's so young!" ”

Qi Yuning looked at the red fluttering child, only to feel that he seemed to have been kicked in the abdomen, thinking that if Lingling was there, he would definitely want to see this child.

Qi Yuning looked at the soft little baby boy and smiled faintly, and said to Lu Ze: "Sister Ali was my brother's personal maid before, and his father and mother are all loyal servants of the Qi family, I think, how about letting her be Lingling's nurse?" ”

Lingling's nurse, Qi Yuning has already looked for several times, and Princess Pingrou has also found several for Qi Yuning.

But most of Qi Yuning was dissatisfied.

Ah Li is relieved, and now that Ah Li has no husband, it is difficult for a woman with four young children to be in Zhuangzi, so it is better to let her go to the princess's mansion to be a nurse, and she can also give these four young children a shelter.

Lu Ze also knew that Qi Yuning and his mother had worked hard for Lingling's nurse, and they had chosen many times since Qi Yuning was pregnant, "Since you are a loyal servant of the Qi family, it is just right." ”

Qi Yuning didn't know that a child would be born today, so he didn't prepare any gifts in advance, so he only gave a small dagger inlaid with rubies to the newborn baby boy with self-defense.

Zhao Jie gave him a piece of gold lock that he carried.

Seeing this, Qi Yuning said: "Your Majesty, this is your golden lock, you can't give it away at will." ”

Zhao Jie said: "I like this little brother, and when this little brother grows up in the future, it will be good for him to come and play with me." ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "When he grows up, Your Majesty will be older, I'm afraid I don't want to play with him, but he has an elder brother who happens to be the same age as His Majesty, so he can play together." ”

Zhao Jie smiled lightly and said, "I'm going to play with him." ”

Qi Yuning asked the spring equinox to take Zhao Jie to find Ali's son Chu Qing to play, and asked Lichun to go to Ah Li to ask if he wanted to be Lingling's nurse.

Qi Yuning was holding the newborn baby in her arms and didn't want to let go.

Lu Ze couldn't help but be a little jealous: "Holding other people's children, the little soul comes out to be jealous." ”

Qi Yuning said with a smile: "It shouldn't be Lingling's jealousy, it's Lingling's father who is jealous, don't say it, I really like this child when I look at it, this child is destined for me, and it doesn't hurt to think of him as a godson." ”

"Ouch!"

Qi Yuning felt a sharp kick in the abdomen, gasped, and even gave the child in his arms to Gu Yu.

Qi Yuning touched his lower abdomen and said, "I don't recognize him as a godson, little ancestor, don't kick me!" ”

Lu Ze walked to Qi Yuning's side, and when he saw her thin clothes, he could see that his stomach was moving, Lu Ze smiled lightly: "Let's just say that Lingling loves to be jealous, you still don't believe it, she can be jealous if you hug Brother Yuan, you still want to recognize a godson, Lingling can be happy?" ”

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "What a little vinegar jar!" ”

Lichun came back after almost half an hour, and said to Qi Yuning: "County Lord, Ah Li has agreed to be the nurse of the little county lord, but she has a concern, she is a posthumous child in this birth, and she is afraid ......that it will be unlucky."

Qi Yuning smiled and said: "I only ask for one who is loyal and capable to Lingling, it doesn't matter if there are so many taboos." ”

Lichun said with a smile: "I also said the same to her, Sister Ali will definitely be loyal to the little county lord." ”

When it was time for Shen, Qi Yuning went out of the Zhuangzi and heard laughter from a distance.

I saw that in the middle of the river pool, an eight- or nine-year-old girl was rowing a boat with a bamboo pole, a five- or six-year-old boy was picking lotus leaves and lotus canopies with a three-year-old child, and Zhao Jie was also on a small wooden boat.

There are also several ships on both sides that are guarded and palace people.

Qi Yuning felt a movement in her abdomen again, she touched her lower abdomen and said, "Even if you want to play, you have to wait, don't kick anymore." ”

Lu Ze asked Qi Yuning, "Lingling kicked you again?" ”

Qi Yuning nodded and said, "It's so lively, how can Lingling not be moved?" ”

After the group of children rowed ashore, the eight or nine-year-old girl walked up to Qi Yuning and knelt down and saluted, "County Lord." ”

Qi Yuning looked at the little girl and said, "You know me?" ”

"Well, thank you for taking care of us, my mother has always warned us to remember the kindness of the county lord."

Qi Yuning was very satisfied with this down-and-out girl, "What's your name?" ”

"Chu Chi is not a farewell speech, it is a pond of ponds."

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Chu Chi, it's a good name, is this your brother or your sister?" ”

Qi Yuning looked at the three-year-old child, but he couldn't decide whether it was a boy or a girl for a while, the clothes he was wearing were boys', and he looked like a girl.

"It's my sister, she's very skinny, she always gets dirty when she wears a skirt, and her mother is going to give birth to a younger brother, so I want to save trouble, so I'll dress her in the clothes of a male baby."

Qi Yuning looked at Chu Chi in front of him and said, "You are a good boy." ”

Chu Chi smiled embarrassedly and said, "County Lord, am I still a good boy if I'm lazy?" ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "You can take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and you are already very well-behaved." ”

Qi Yuning glanced at Zhao Jie's back covered with sweat, and asked the palace people to change Zhao Jie's clothes on the spot, "Your Majesty, we should go back." ”

When Zhao Jie heard that he was going back, he was full of reluctance and said, "I don't want to leave, I want to play with them." ”

Qi Yuning saw Zhao Jie playful, and said: "But Your Majesty will go to court tomorrow, Your Majesty will go back now, and after a month, they will all come to the princess's mansion, and you can often play with Your Majesty at that time." ”

Zhao Jie reluctantly said goodbye to a few playmates, and in the carriage was full of yearning for the lotus pond, "It's good that they have so many brothers and sisters." ”

Qi Yuning could understand Zhao Jie's expectations, "Yes, it's good to have younger brothers and sisters." ”

Lu Ze said: "My younger brothers and sisters are not good. ”

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and smiled lightly, Lu Ze's pair of younger siblings was indeed a headache for being an elder brother.

When I returned to the city, it happened to be the Qixi Festival, although it was due to the national filial piety, but there were many more daughters' homes on the street than in previous years, but they were not as grand as in previous years.

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze accompanied Zhao Jie to watch the excitement in the city for a while before sending Zhao Jie back to the palace.

In the palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou was very anxious, and she was relieved to see Zhao Jie return safely.

"Jie'er, you can't play until so late in the future!"

"Mother, I am playing in the lotus pond today to pick lotus leaves, picking lotus pods, the lotus pods are delicious, I brought you some."

"Lotus pond?" Empress Dowager Zhou frowned and said, "You are not allowed to go near the water's edge, do you want to be the same as your father?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Qi Yuning and said, "County Lord, please don't take Your Majesty near any waterside in the future!" ”

Qi Yuning herself is about to become a mother, and she can also understand the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she should say: "Yes." ”

Lu Ze gently shook Qi Yuning's hand to show comfort, Qi Yuning signaled with his eyes that Lu Ze was fine, Duanwang fell into the water and died, and she could understand that Empress Dowager Zhou was so excited.

After Qi Yuning and Lu Ze returned to the princess's mansion, she felt that the child in her womb kicked her again, so she asked the maid to find the imperial doctor.

Looking for the imperial doctor at night, even Princess Pingrou was alarmed.

When the imperial doctor came, he checked the pulse and said: "The child in the county lord's womb is fine, but the fetus will move when it arrives, and now the county lord is seven months pregnant, and the fetus will move in the womb, which is a normal thing." ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "It turns out that she didn't kick me out of jealousy." ”

She thought that Lingling could understand her words in her womb.

Princess Pingrou said: "You don't have an experienced maid by your side to take care of you, but it's not good." ”

Qi Yuning said: "Mother, I have already found one, she will be able to come when she is out of confinement, and she can also be Lingling's nurse in the future." ”

Princess Pingrou replied, "That's good." ”
