After my fiancé became a monk, I actually had a three-year-old son

Chapter 180 Bet on whether the Lu family can produce a queen

When Qi Yuning saw the innocent Lu Baozhu, she felt a little envious of her. She usually had no scheming or too many worries.

"Think about it, why did King Xu not want the old cow to eat tender grass before, but now he wants the old cow to eat tender grass?"

Lu Baozhu said: "Before, Aunt Xu Wang was not seriously ill, so he was naturally embarrassed to say that he wanted to marry Lu Baohua as a side concubine. Although she is also a side concubine now, my Uncle Xu Wang is a strong candidate for the crown prince. Baohua will marry her. Most likely she will be the future queen."

Qi Yuning said: "It's not that your Uncle Xu Wang came to Baohua to marry him as his concubine because he was a strong candidate for the crown prince. It was because Baohua married her that your uncle Xu Wang was the best candidate for the crown prince."

Lu Baozhu suddenly realized, "Yes, our Lu family is married to Uncle Xu Wang. Naturally, Uncle Xu Wang is more capable than Uncle Shou Wang to compete for the crown prince position. Since Uncle Xu Wang is taking advantage of Baohua, why do the second uncle and second aunt let Lu Baohua How about getting married?"

Qi Yuning said calmly: "Because this is a win-win situation, and they also want to bet on whether the Lu family can produce a queen."

"Mother, dear, aunt!"

Lingling combed her braids and came out, rushing straight towards Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning saw that Lingling was wearing a bun with pink tassels on it, which was very cute. He hugged Lingling, touched her bun and asked, "Where is Lingling going to play?"

Lingling said: "Lingling wants to take the second aunt to eat delicious food, but the second aunt is crying so hard."

Qi Yuning agreed: "Then go to your second aunt first."

In a quiet little pavilion in Duke Lu's Mansion, the words Xiangfeiju are written on the plaque above, and it is filled with green bamboos.

Although the weather has turned cooler in September, the sun has been strong in recent days and it is still a bit hot. This lush green bamboo is quite quiet. If you live here in the summer, it will definitely be a good place to stay.

Further inside, there are two podocarpus trees that are pruned artistically.

There are various orchids placed under the eaves of the courtyard. It is rare in Shengjing City to raise orchids so well, especially those pots of black orchids.

When Qi Yuning came to Lu Baohua's courtyard for the first time, he couldn't help but admire: "This girl Baohua is really a wonderful person."

Lu Baozhu asked: "Why is it so wonderful?"

Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said: "The layout of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums and pine trees is well-proportioned and elegant, unlike some people's courtyards where there are either bright red roses or bright red azaleas, peonies, peonies and camellias. The flowers are clustered in a messy manner."

Lu Baozhu returned the spirit in her arms to Qi Yuning and said, "I won't help you carry the child, you can carry it yourself!"

Qi Yuning took Lingling and hugged her.

In the room, Lu Baohua stared blankly at the straw dragonfly in her hand with tears in her eyes. She gently stroked the straw dragonfly and bit her lower lip between her teeth.

"Girl, Princess Qi and Princess Baozhu are here."

Lu Baohua even hid the straw dragonfly and saw Lingling entering wearing a pink shirt and skirt.

Little Lingling fluttered into Lu Baohua's arms like a pink butterfly, "Second aunt, are you still crying? If you don't cry, don't cry. Lingling will take you to eat delicious food!"

Qi Yuning and Lu Baozhu entered. Lu Baozhu saw Lu Baohua crying and said, "Why are you crying? If you don't want to marry, I don't believe they can still tie you up to marry?"

Lu Baohua whispered: "Marriage has always been the order of my parents. Although they can't tie me with a rope, the kindness of my parents in raising me and the filial piety to my grandmother are just invisible chains that bind me. I have nothing but to be tied." Just accept your fate... there is no other option."

Qi Yuning comforted her softly: "There will be a way. As long as you say no, Lu Ze and I will help you."

Lu Baohua raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Thank you very much, Princess, but will this offend King Xu..."

Qi Yuning said: "I'm not afraid of offending King Xu. You haven't been back to Shengjing City for many days. It's autumn, and there must be no new clothes for autumn. Let's go shopping on the street, and I'll give it to you too." Lingling, buy some more clothes."

Lingling is cute, but Qi Yuning likes to change Lingling's clothes, even if she changes her clothes in one day, it's not too much.

Lingling said happily: "I also bought beautiful clothes for my aunt and second aunt, as well as clothes for my little cousin and brother Cheng!"

Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Who is this brother Cheng?"

Lu Baozhu said: "The eldest wife of the Zhong family was born prematurely and gave birth to a son, Zhong You's younger brother. My mother didn't let Lingling touch her little cousin, so she went to play with brother Cheng."

Qi Yuning smiled calmly and said, "Congratulations to Zhong You for having a little brother."

Lingling said: "Brother Ayou has a little brother, and Lingling also wants a little brother and sister. My mother promised that Lingling would have a little brother and sister, but she still doesn't have one yet!"

Qi Yuning coaxed Lingling and said, "It will be available soon. Let's go buy new clothes."

Lu Baohua took the hot handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped his face, and followed them to Yunyi Pavilion without applying makeup.

Yunyi Pavilion has been busy recently, and Shengjing City has gradually returned to its former prosperity. There are a lot of good fabrics in Yunyi Pavilion.     “Ahem.”

"Concubine, be careful."

Qi Yuning heard a cough and turned around to see Princess Xu and her eldest daughter, Princess Fang, who was only eleven years old.

When Lu Baozhu saw Princess Xu coming, she saluted and said, "Auntie."

Qi Yuning and Lu Baohua also followed Fu Shen and saluted: "Princess Xu, Princess Fang."

Princess Fang looked at the little Lingling beside Qi Yuning and said with a smile, "Is this Cousin Ze's daughter Lingling? She's so cute."

Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Lingling, call me uncle and aunt."

"Great uncle, aunt."

Seeing the well-behaved Lingling, Princess Xu smiled lightly and said, "He is such a well-behaved and good boy, ahem."

Qi Yuning saw that Princess Xu looked really ill, and wondered whether she came here by chance or on purpose.

Princess Xu looked at Lu Baohua and said: "Baohua, I haven't seen you for a while. In the past, when the prince held poetry and calligraphy gatherings, you always had a different color. It just so happened that in a few days, the prince There is a book party to be held in the east of the city. All the literati in Shengjing City will be there, and the layman Xianchu you admire most will also come, so you must come."

When Lu Baohua heard the layman Xianchu, he thought of the bell and pursed his lips.

Qi Yuning said: "Book club? I am also interested. I just want to pick out some good books for Lingling. Baohua, we will go together then."

Lu Baohua nodded and said, "Yes."

Princess Xu took her daughter to pick out fabrics, and seemed to no longer greet them.

"Mother, I think this fabric suits Sister Rong. Can I buy it for Sister Rong?"

Princess Xu touched her daughter's head and said, "Your sister Rong is not a good person. Don't interact with her. She is the only little princess in Prince Jin's palace. There are many people buying clothes and fabrics for her."

"Concubine!" Princess Fang frowned, "How could Sister Rong not be a good person?"

Qi Yuning saw the helplessness and worry in Princess Xu's eyes, and thought to herself that the hearts of parents in the world were really pitiful.

After buying the fabric, she wandered around the street for a while. Lingling bought a lot of stuff that she wanted to give to her little cousin and brother Cheng. Qi Yuning let her choose and went to Qingshan Tower at noon. Have a meal inside.

Lu Baozhu said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten the roasted pigeon in Qingshan Tower!"

When the group entered Qingshan Tower, Qi Yuning saw the hall was bustling with excitement, and a group of literati gathered around a table and exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Baozhu was a person who loved to join in the fun, so she squeezed forward and saw a young man writing poetry, and then withdrew without interest.

Lu Baozhu said to Qi Yuning: "I thought there was some excitement, but it turned out that it was a young man showing off his literary talent, and his handwriting was not very good. There was a burst of cheers from the people around him!"

Lu Baozhu's voice was not low, and the young man happened to hear it.

Shen Jialin stood on the chair, obviously a little drunk, "Who dares to say that I am showing off?!"

Lingling, who was being held by Qi Yuning, saw Shen Jialin in front of her, her eyes lit up, "Uncle Linlin."

Qi Yuning asked Lingling in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

Lingling nodded and said: "He is Uncle Linlin, brother Han's uncle. He has the same name as Lingling."

Qi Yuning thought, is the brother Han that Lingling mentioned is Shen Nian's son Huang Han? After all, Shen Nian's son has to be called Uncle Shen Jialin.

The people around Shen Jialin holding him said repeatedly: "Mr. Shen, that is Princess Lu."

Shen Jialin walked up to Lu Baozhu drunkenly and said, "You say I'm showing off? My calligraphy is not that good? What good skills do you have that you dare to accuse me of showing off?"

What Lu Baozhu hates the most is this kind of self-respecting literati. He patted Lu Baohua on the shoulder and said, "I, the princess, don't even need to show off my abilities. I will send my sister to overwhelm you. Baohua, go and write a poem." Poetry, let him see what true talent and learning are.”

When Lu Baohua was about to go, he saw Zhong Ming sitting on the table. His right hand was wrapped in a bandage. Lu Baohua stared blankly at Zhong Ming in front of him.

"Second aunt..." Qi Yuning covered Lingling's little mouth when Lingling was about to call out the word father.
