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

Chapter 44 Dad applies plaster to Mom

After returning to Prince Qi’s Mansion.

At the Spring Equinox, I went to invite the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor examined Qi Yuning's red and swollen ankle and said it was a sprain. He could make medicine and rest for a month and a half and it would be cured.

Lingling saw Qi Yuning's ankle and asked Qi Yuning in a low voice: "Mother, does it hurt? Does it hurt more than when it was a living thing?"

Qi Yuning still didn't know what it was like to have a baby, but she always heard people say that a woman's childbirth was like going to the gate of hell. She didn't know how painful it would be two years later.

Lingling blinked her eyes and said: "Dad said it hurt my mother when she gave birth to Lingling. Is it more painful than pinching her neck? Does that mean that when she gave birth to younger siblings, my mother would have to hurt again? Lingling I don’t want any younger brothers or sisters, Lingling doesn’t want my mother’s love!”

Qi Yuning saw Lingling shedding tears as she spoke, and even picked up Lingling and put her on his lap.

"It should be very painful when there is a spirit, but having a spirit is the happiest thing in my mother's life."

She didn’t know why Lingling came here, but Qi Yuning was really lucky that Lingling came over when she was being laughed at by everyone.

Lingling was very obedient tonight. She didn't clamor for daddy at all and went to bed early.

However, Qi Yuning could only think about Lu Ze's back and the beads of sweat on his fair side. She controlled herself not to think about Lu Ze, but her mind was still filled with Lu Ze's slight gasp when he exhaled.

Qi Yuning looked at the sleeping little Lingling beside him and reached out to touch Lingling's little face. Did Lu Ze look like this when he was a child?

It's a pity that when Lu Ze was so young, she was still in her infancy.

In the princess's mansion.

After Lu Ze took a bath, he went to ask the imperial doctor Qi Yuning about his injury. He was relieved to learn that it was indeed a sprain.

Looking at the persimmon held in the big-sleeved shirt on the side, he divided the persimmon into four parts, two for His Majesty and the Queen, and one for Princess Pingrou tomorrow, and put the ripest part on the big-sleeved shirt. Here, I plan to return it to Qi Yuning tomorrow.

Thinking of the arrogant and cold-hearted Qi Yuning in the past, Lu Ze smiled lightly just for the sake of taking a bite of persimmon.

Before falling asleep, he looked at the furnishings in this house that were somewhat similar to those in Prince Qi's Mansion. This was supposed to be Lu Yun and Qi Yuning's new house.

If Lu Yun didn't become a monk, Qi Yuning would be the one living here.

Thinking of this, Lu Ze felt his heart tighten. Fortunately, the little bald donkey had become a monk.

……

After Qi Yuning woke up in the morning, she thought her red and swollen feet would go away a little, but she didn't expect that the swelling would get worse and the pain would be severe when she moved.

After washing, Qi Yuning was supported by her maid and went to the desk to handle the internal affairs of the palace.

Butler He was about to return to Beicheng. She had to arrange the supplies needed by Beicheng in the past two days, but she happened to be greedy for persimmons and injured her foot.

However, the people under my command were all neat and tidy. After working all day, they finally finished counting the supplies Beicheng needed.

Qi Yuning thought for a while, and put some jewelry that she had never worn in a box to bring to Miss Ping. After all, she was pregnant with a blood girl for the Qi family.

"Housekeeper He, please give this box of jewelry to Miss Ping."

Butler He said: "Yes, Princess."

As the night was getting dark, Qi Yuning received a notice from the concierge and Lu Ze came to ask for a visit.

Qi Yuning said to Li Chun, "You don't need to inform Prince Lu when he comes in the future."

Li Chun responded: "Yes."

When Lu Ze entered, he was carrying a bamboo basket full of persimmons.

"Dad!" Lingling was very happy to see Lu Ze, "There are so many persimmons."

Lu Ze returned the folded long-sleeved shirt to Qi Yuning and placed the persimmons on the table.

Qi Yuning saw the persimmons in the bamboo basket and asked, "Why are there only so many left?"

Lu Ze said: "The rest is given to His Majesty and my mother. The princess won't mind, right?"

Qi Yuning said: "My princess is not as stingy as you think. I also wanted to give them a taste." Your Majesty is not short of good things, but the filial piety of a junior in the mountains is even more rare.

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning's ankle and said, "How is the princess's foot?"

Lingling said from the side: "It's even more swollen, as swollen as a steamed bun."

Qi Yuning sighed and said, "The imperial doctor said it will take half a month to recover. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the house during this half month."

Lingling blinked and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Dad, mother can't go out anymore. Can you take Lingling out to play?"

"I'm afraid it will be half a month before we have a day off. You just stay at home with your mother. When your mother's feet are healed, your father and mother will take you to play on the street."

Lingling nodded and said: "Okay, mother, please heal your feet quickly."

Qi Yuning chuckled and rubbed Lingling's head.

Lu Ze took out a bottle of ointment and said, "This is a medicine from Dali Kingdom. It is specially used to treat injuries caused by scuffles. Apply it to the red and swollen areas and it will heal faster."

Lingling said: "Lingling, come and apply it to mother."

As she said that, Lingling took the medicine bottle, walked to Qi Yuning's side and knelt down to apply ointment to Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning smiled softly and said, "Don't, this medicine has a strong smell and you won't be able to wash it off later."

Lingling gave the medicine bottle to Lu Ze and said, "Then daddy will apply ointment to mommy."

Lu Ze originally thought that Qi Yuning would refuse. After all, her maids were here, but unexpectedly, Qi Yuning had already put her legs on the wooden bench in front of her, which made her intention very obvious.

Lu Zeqian knelt down and saw the severely swollen ankle. He took ointment and applied it to Qi Yuning.

The ointment was slightly cold. Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze's gentle movements in front of him and chuckled lightly, "With Prince Lu's skills, it would be a pity not to be a charlatan who specializes in treating bruises and sprains."

Lu Ze raised his eyes and looked at the smiling Qi Yuning, "Other than the princess, who can be worthy of my hard work in applying the medicine?"

Qi Yuning looked into Lu Ze's eyes and felt a tremor. She coughed lightly and turned her eyes away.

After Lu Ze applied the medicine, there was still a faint smell of medicine in his hands. Qi Yuning handed over his handkerchief and said, "Wipe it."

After Lu Ze wiped his hands with a handkerchief, he put the handkerchief aside, picked up Lingling and asked, "Did Lingling learn to write today?"

Lingling nodded her little head and said, "Yes, Lingling knows my mother's name, but I can't write it. It's so difficult to write my mother's name."

Lingling pulled Lu Ze to the book desk aside. Seeing the two crooked squares, Lu Ze praised against his will: "Lingling's writing is really good."

Lingling said: "Dad, do you know which words are written here? Even Aunt Xiaoman can't recognize the words written by Lingling."

Lu Ze smiled softly and said: "Yu Ning, it is written with the word Yu Ning."

"Dad is so smart. He is Yu Ning. It is my mother's name. My mother's name is Yu Ning!"

Qi Yuning listened to the word "Yuning" shouted from Lu Ze's mouth, and felt that his voice was two or three minutes deeper than before.

Lu Ze held Lingling's hand and taught Lingling to write the real word "Yuning".

Qi Yuning looked at the past, but her smile gradually stopped. She had been a little too unusual towards Lu Ze in the past two days.

Lingling took the word "Yuning" and ran to Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, dear, daddy wrote your name very well."

Qi Yuning held the rice paper in her hand. The words "Yuning" written on it were full of ink. It was indeed much more beautiful than what Lingling had written by herself.

Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker and darker, Lingling raised her eyes and asked Lu Ze, "Dad, can you sleep with Lingling again tonight?"

Lu Ze said: "Dad has to go to the East Palace Courtyard tonight. His Highness is entertaining Qiu Wei Juzi tonight. I'm afraid he will be late when he comes back. He will come over as soon as he gets off the Yamen tomorrow to accompany Lingling."

Lingling said: "I still have to accompany my mother!"

Qi Yuning whispered: "I don't need his company."
