Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhu looked at each other. They were somewhat disdainful of Wen Yalan's behavior, but as elders they still had to give some advice.

Mrs. Zhong: "Yalan, you are talking nonsense. It is not worth twisting your hair to become a sister-in-law for a man."

Mrs. Zhu said: "Your Aunt Zhong is right. You are forcing the prince to accept you as his concubine. Even if you enter the prince's palace, what good life will you have? Stop being so stupid."

Wen Yalan said with tears in her eyes: "I only have the prince as my husband in this life. If it were someone else, I would rather never marry!"

After that, Wen Yalan ran away from the palace, and Mrs. Wen chased after her.

Qi Yuning looked at the backs of their mother and daughter, and said to A Ping: "Don't worry, my brother will not marry another concubine, let alone have any more concubines."

A Ping raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Is it the prince who said that?"

Qi Yuning nodded and said: "Well, after he knew that you passed away, he would rather change Lingling's surname to Qi than marry and have children. It shows that my brother is sincere to you, and we will be a family in the future. There is no need to hide secrets between families.”

A Ping said: "I have no secrets, I don't know anything."

Qi Yuning chuckled helplessly: "You don't know anything, what else can you say?"

A Ping said: "Princess, I really don't know anything. I..."

Qi Yuning saw A Ping holding her belly and said repeatedly: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. But don't be nervous. If you have fetal motility again, I will become a big evil person. My brother will forgive you." Can’t touch me.”

During the banquet, Qi Yuning met Lingling's three cousins.

Zhong Ming and Zhu Yang Zhufeng had only met Qi Yuning when he was young. At this moment, Zhong Ming looked more like a scholar. It was rare to find a man with such fair skin in Beicheng.

Zhu Yang Zhufeng's skin color is darker, and the two of them look more similar when sitting together than in the painting.

At first glance, it is difficult to tell each other apart.

Before the banquet was over, Wen Ban knelt down in front of Qi Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, I only have two daughters. Yalan has been in love with you since she was a child. For the sake of her infatuation, please grant her permission." Let her go.

She has been admiring you since she was a child. Her mother and I have found other husbands for her over the years, but this child has no choice but to marry you. She would rather become a nun. My lord, you have watched her grow up. My sister, please grant her love! "

Qi Yuning frowned when he saw Wen Ban kneeling down, and the Wen family acted increasingly unreasonably.

Qi Yuan's face was indeed not pretty. Before Qi Yuan could say anything, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old stood up from the Zhong family.

The girl slowly spoke out: "Uncle Wen, I am also infatuated with King Qi, and I have wanted to marry King Qi as his concubine since I was a child, and King Qi's brother can only marry me and Miss A Ping.

If Brother Qi Wang dares to marry Wen Yalan as his concubine, I will kill him! "

Mrs. Zhong said repeatedly: "Qianqian!"

Wen Ban's face turned black and blue. Zhong Qianqian was the youngest daughter of Zhong Xin and his wife. She had always been very bold and willful.

Zhong Qianqian said: "So many generals in Beicheng have daughters. When a general's daughter comes and says that she likes brother Qi Wang, she wants him to fulfill their love and marry them as concubines. How can Prince Qi's palace accommodate them? Are there so many girls?”

Zhong Xin also said: "Brother Wen Xian, you must have a certain degree of love for your daughter."

Qi Yu'an took Ah Ping's hand and said: "Today's banquet is held because I want to inform the three uncles that I will marry Ah Ping as my princess. In the future, there will only be one mistress in Prince Qi's Mansion, and that is Ah Ping. Will there be any more concubines or concubines?"

A Ping looked at Qi Yuan's hand clasped with hers, raised her eyes to Qi Yuan, and pursed her red lips.

Wen Ban frowned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, the blood of the Qi family is weak..."

Qi Yu'an said: "Uncle Wen, the king has made up his mind. There will only be one princess in this life!"

Lu Ze heard what Qi Yu'an said and whispered in Qi Yuning's ear: "Brother Qi Wang knows A Ping's identity?"

Qi Yuning shook his head and said, "He doesn't know."

A Ping is most likely his aunt, so Lu Ze naturally hopes that his aunt can be treated sincerely.

Many concubines in this dynasty refuse to take concubines simply because of their aunt's status as a princess.

It is truly rare for Qi Yuan to be able to do this without knowing A Ping's identity.

……

New Year's Eve.

When Qi Yuning arrived, she heard Lingling happily writing Spring Festival couplets.

Qi Yuning took Lingling to the desk and wrote the New Year's couplets. Lingling's handwriting was much better than the previous squares, although it was still crooked.

Lu Ze entered the room and saw Lingling writing Spring Festival couplets and praised: "Lingling's handwriting is getting better and better."

Lingling raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze and said, "Lingling's handwriting is finished, can Lingling have younger brothers and sisters?"

Qi Yuning coughed and said, "You have to write a thousand words before you can have younger brothers and sisters."

Lingling felt a little disappointed and said, "Oh, then Lingling will learn to write every day!" After Lingling wrote more than a dozen Spring Festival couplets with Lu Ze's help, she happily posted them.

After Qi Yuning held Lingling and pasted Spring Festival couplets on each courtyard gate, it was getting late.

On New Year's Eve, the Beicheng Palace was so lively for the first time. This was also the most lively year Qi Yuning had lived since he was four years old.

In the past, when Qi Yuning returned to the palace from the palace on New Year's Eve, although she was accompanied by eight maids, she still felt lonely.

Occasionally, you can still hear the sound of firecrackers coming from the princess's mansion next door, and the laughter of Lu Baozhu and Lu Yun...

Today we can finally have some fun.

New Year's Eve banquet.

Lingling saw the table full of delicacies and said: "They are all Lingling's favorite food, and there are a lot of turtles. Lingling's favorite is turtle stewed dumplings!"

Qi Yuning saw Lingling's happy expression and said, "If you like it, eat more, and I'll give you one of the turtles."

"And my aunt also likes to eat turtles!" Lingling sat down in front of A Ping and said, "Auntie, Lingling will eat turtles with you!"

A Ping smiled and touched Lingling's head and said, "Yeah."

After all, Lingling is also a child with a similar bloodline to her. She is the granddaughter of her biological sister. Perhaps they are connected by blood. The more A Ping sees Lingling, the more she likes her.

Lu Yun also bought fireworks specially. After dinner, the silver trees and silver flowers were so brilliant.

Lingling saw the fireworks and exclaimed: "Wow! What beautiful fireworks!"

A Ping raised her eyes and said: "This is the first time I have seen fireworks. It turns out they are so beautiful, but it is a pity that they are only bright and fleeting."

Very few people set off fireworks in Beicheng. If it weren't for Lu Yun to set off fireworks, Prince Qi's Mansion would not set off fireworks on weekdays.

Qi Yuning said: "It's great to be able to enjoy the dazzling scenery for a while. Lingling, what are your New Year's wishes? Write them on the Kongming Lantern and your wish will be fulfilled."

Lingling said: "Lingling's wish is that her father and mother can always be with Lingling. Also, Lingling wants younger brothers and sisters."

Qi Yuning wrote Lingling's wish on the Kongming Lantern and raised the Kongming Lantern. The sky above the North City was gradually filled with stars of the Kongming Lantern.

Lu Yun walked to A Ping and said, "A Ping, what is your wish?"

A Ping caressed her belly and said, "The baby was born safely, and I hope the people I care about are in good health."

I hope her parents can be in good health, or at least be able to wait until she goes back to see them.

Qi Yuan glanced at Lu Yun, frowned, took A Ping into his arms and said, "Lu Yun, you can go to the military camp tomorrow."

Lu Yun exclaimed, "King Qi, why don't you let me enter the military camp without inviting me to a wedding drink?"

Qi Yu'an said: "No please!"

A Ping looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "I think it's better to let Prince Lu have a wedding drink."

Qi Yuan frowned more and more, "There is no need to feed the bald donkey wine."

Lu Yun: "..."

Qi Yuning laughed out loud.

On New Year's Eve, Lingling went to bed early and no one kept vigil.

Lingling woke up early on the first day of the new year and couldn't wait to go play on the street.

Qi Yuning dressed Lingling and went out with Lu Ze. The streets of Quan Town were very lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

There are many tourists in twos and threes in front of each stall.

Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were walking side by side. Lingling looked east and west in Lu Ze's arms, but she only passed a few vendors and already bought a lot of stuff.

"Fortune teller, fortune teller, this gentleman, you are going to jail, do you want a fortune teller?"

An old man with a white beard walked up to Lu Ze and said, stroking his gray beard.

Hearing this, Qi Yuning frowned and said, "It's really unlucky to tell fortunes on the first day of the new year!"

The old Taoist touched his beard, looked at Lingling in Lu Ze's arms and said, "The old Taoist is not a random fortune teller, she is not the person at this time."

Qi Yuning's expression changed. Seeing the old man with a white beard in front of him, his phoenix eyes slightly raised: "What did you say?"

The old Taoist priest stared at Lingling and said: "This child came from Xinweinian." (End of Chapter)
