The weather in August gets cooler in the evening. Although Qi Yuning has difficulty moving now, he will take more walks before and after meals in order to relax during childbirth.

Lu Ze and Qi Yuning arrived at the dining hall for a while before Lu Yun arrived.

Lu Guogong had already been waiting for a long time with a bad expression on his face. When he saw Lu Yun enter, he scolded him: "How many times do you have to be treated to meals? You are almost nineteen, and it doesn't take long for you to become weak. Your eldest brother When I was weak, I was already the young minister of Dali Temple. What about you? You are doing nothing!"

Lu Yun frowned and said: "I am obviously only eighteen years old, why am I so weak? Why don't you tell me that I am already thirty years old!"

"How dare you talk back to dad?!" Lu Guogong said angrily.

Lu Yun said: "Originally, even if I have full arithmetic, I am only eighteen, so why am I nineteen? Dad, if you are not good at arithmetic, you still have time to learn it now!"

Lu Baozhu chuckled at the side, causing Princess Pingrou to complain, "You still have the nerve to laugh? You are really already twenty!"

Lu Baozhu said: "Mom and dad, don't teach your children before meals!"

Princess Pingrou choked, then turned to teach Lu Yun again. After all, Lu Yun loved to eat, and he would not be unable to eat just because his parents said a few words.

"Lu Yun, what have you been doing these past few days? Have you gone to play with your gang of bad friends again? You haven't seen anyone all day long, and you have to ask for three or four invitations to eat!"

Lu Yun looked at Qi Yuning complainingly and said, "It's not all her fault. Why does Shen Nian come to our home every day? Does Shen Nian have no home? She comes to our home every day."

Qi Yuning frowned and said, "I'm about to give birth. Shen Nian just gave birth to a child last year and has more experience. If she can come here, I can ask more about giving birth and raising children. Why can't she come to the princess's house every day?"

Princess Pingrou said: "What Yu Ning said is that it's okay for Shen Nian to come to the princess's house every day."

After Lu Yun took two bites of the meal, he felt it was bland.

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yun and said, "Why are you so repulsive to seeing Shen Nian? Why do you run away like a mouse when you see a cat? If you hadn't done something wrong to her, why didn't you even hit her when you saw her? Can’t even say hello?”

Lu Yun said: "It's nothing, I just don't want to see her."

Qi Yuning didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was her brother-in-law's matter and she couldn't care less about it.

After the meal, Lu Ze accompanied Qi Yuning for a stroll in the garden. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the garden was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

Qi Yuning liked the fragrance of osmanthus and said to Lu Ze, "Pick a few osmanthus flowers for me and put them in the room to add fragrance."

Lu Ze raised his hand and picked a few branches. He also picked a small branch with many osmanthus flowers and used it as a hairpin to pin on Qi Yuning's bun. "It's so beautiful."

Qi Yuning touched her face and said, "I've gained a lot of weight, am I still beautiful?"

"You are more beautiful when you are fat." Lu Ze pinched Qi Yuning's face, "When you are fat, you look more like you were when you were a child. You were chubby and cute when you were a child."

Qi Yuning opened Lu Ze's hand, "I forgot. There was a time when you were young and you loved to pinch my face. I hit your hand and you still pinched it. I was young at that time, but now I have to pinch it back. !”

Qi Yuning reached out and pinched Lu Ze's face, "It's not as easy to pinch as Lingling's face."

Lu Ze smiled lightly and said, "Lingling will be out on the 32nd. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it by then."

Qi Yuning touched his belly, "On the 32nd, why is it still so long? Lingling has been away for a long time."

Lu Ze said: "In fact, it was very fast. It has already been two years in the blink of an eye."

Qi Yuning knew what Lu Ze meant by two years. Two years ago, Lu Yun brought her reputation into disrepute. It had indeed been two years since Lingling came to Prince Qi's Mansion.

"So many things have happened in the past two years. Two years ago today, I fully expected to marry into your princess's palace."

"Expectations?" Lu Ze frowned when he heard these two words.

Qi Yuning said: "I look forward to marrying into the princess's palace, and being able to quarrel with Lu Baozhu about jewelry and clothes every day. She can't compare to me in quarreling about jewelry and clothes."

Lu Ze: "I thought you were looking forward to marrying Lu Yun..."

Qi Yuning said: "Lingling is a little jealous person, and you are a big jealous person. Lingling is so jealous because she imitates you!"

Lu Ze put his arm around Qi Yuning's waist and helped her walk. Lu Ze was once again glad that Lu Yun had become a monk. If Qi Yuning and Lu Yun really got married, he would not be able to do what he had learned since childhood. About robbing his sister-in-law.

At that time, I was afraid that I would regret it for the rest of my life.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, due to the national filial piety, there is no palace banquet, but the family can be reunited.

It was also endless fun to sing to the moon. Lu Baohua also brought the bells home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole palace was full of excitement. Even Mrs. Lu rarely made a fuss today, watching the two little actors babbling and singing.

Young people gathered together to either throw pots, write poems, guess riddles, or make lanterns.

Qi Yuning has never had such a lively Mid-Autumn Festival since she was four years old. It is rare for her to have such a lively Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for a large family this year.

It wasn't until late at night, with the full moon high in the sky, that Qi Yuning and Lu Ze strolled back to their room.

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival in your family is so lively."

Lu Ze said: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is already hampered by national filial piety. In previous years, it was even more lively. The theater troupe alone sang from afternoon to night."

Qi Yuning said: "I'm afraid next year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be even more lively. During next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Lingling should already be able to call her mother, and maybe she can be helped to walk."

Qi Yu would rather look forward to Lingling babbling and learning language, toddling around.

Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning, "Well, next year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be very lively with Lingling around."

Amid everyone's expectations, September has arrived. The weather in September is excellent. The sun is shining brightly for several days in a row. The autumn air is crisp. The weather is neither cold nor hot, which is perfect for climbing mountains.

But Qi Yuning could only miss such a beautiful weather. As September 9th approached, Qi Yuning did not feel that giving birth was like a trip to hell. She was more looking forward to it. It’s time to meet Lingling.

On the eighth day of September, Lu Ze took three days off.

In the afternoon, Qi Yuning, who was used to taking a nap every afternoon, was not sleepy at all. She held Lu Ze's hand nervously, "I will see Lingling tomorrow, and I don't know what Lingling will look like when she is born! You must be the first to see her!"

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Yeah!"

Qi Yuning said again: "Forget it, you better not be the first to meet Lingling. They say it is difficult for women to give birth. I will definitely look extremely ugly when I give birth. Neither you nor Lu Baozhu are allowed to look at me!"

Lu Ze smiled softly and said, "What do you look like that I haven't seen before? I've seen you all the time when you lost your teeth. I won't laugh at you."

Qi Yuning said: "No, you are not allowed in."

Lu Ze replied: "Okay, okay, I won't come in."

Qi Yuning fell asleep in anticipation and nervousness. She dreamed a lot during the night, including when she gave birth...

In the early morning of the ninth day of September, she had already started to give birth. She was unable to give birth for a whole day, with basins of blood flowing in and out, and the eyes of several maids were red.

Qi Yuan, with a scruffy beard, stood nervously at the door.

Qi Yuning didn't see Lu Ze. After searching for a long time, she finally found Lu Ze in a Taoist temple. Lu Ze was kneeling upright in front of the statue of Lao Jun, as if praying for blessings.

A young Taoist priest handed Lu Ze a jade pendant, "Donor Lu, this is the Lanling Nuan jade that my master gave you as a gift."

Lu Ze touched the small jade lock in his hand and hurried towards Prince Qi's Mansion.

After entering Prince Qi's Mansion, he heard a bright cry. Regardless of the obstruction from the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion, he entered Qi Yuning's room. He did not look at the child beside him at all, but stared blankly at the dying child. Qi Yuning fainted.

Afterwards, Lu Ze was kicked out of the delivery room by the mother-in-law and maid who reacted.

Lu Ze handed the jade pendant in his hand to Qi Yuan, "This is the jade pendant I asked for from Taoist Master He."

Qi Yuan took the jade pendant and looked at it, "Yiling? Why is she called Yiling?"

Lu Ze said: "The princess once said that if she is a daughter, she will be called Yi Ling, Lu Yiling."

……

When Qi Yuning woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Although she had slept for a long time, she felt very tired, as if she had really given birth to a child in her dream.

Qi Yuning touched his belly, but there was still no movement at all.

Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning waking up and said beside her: "It's time."

Qi Yuning said: "It's already midnight, why isn't Lingling still coming out? I dreamed at night that I was having a difficult labor, and it would be difficult to give birth if I didn't wait..."

Lu Ze pouted twice and said, "No!"
