Mrs. Lu was seriously ill, and Princess Pingrou became anxious.
Mrs. Lu is Lu Ze's biological grandmother after all. If she really left, wouldn't Lu Ze have to observe mourning for one year before marrying Qi Yuning?
I'm afraid he won't even be able to have Lingling anymore. After all, if a child is born during the period of filial piety, Lu Ze will be accused of being unfilial for the rest of his life.
So Princess Pingrou went to the palace early in the morning to help Lu Ze ask for a marriage decree. After signing the engagement, she only hoped that Lu Ze and Qi Yuning could get married as soon as possible and conceive Lingling as soon as possible.
When Emperor Shiyuan saw his eldest daughter coming to ask for marriage, he said, "I have been waiting for Ze'er to tell me about my proposal to marry Yu Ning. It has been some time since I came back from Beicheng, and I haven't seen him mention it yet."
Princess Pingrou said: "It's not that my eldest brother has just left. Ze'er is embarrassed to mention it. Now it seems that my mother-in-law's time is running out. I'm really afraid of delaying Ze'er's marriage. Dad, hurry up and grant them a marriage." Just a young couple."
Emperor Shiyuan waved the maids out and asked Princess Pingrou: "Jiaojiao, whose child is Lingling?"
Princess Pingrou said: "Lingling is the child of Yu Ning and Ze'er."
Emperor Shiyuan said slowly: "I believed it at first, thinking that Yu Ning would not make fun of her reputation, but I ordered someone to check and found that Yu Ning has indeed never given birth to a child. She has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor." Are you going to help her deceive the emperor even though she is guilty?"
Princess Pingrou said: "Dad, Lingling is indeed Ze'er's child."
Emperor Shiyuan frowned and said, "You even hid it from me?"
Princess Pingrou said helplessly: "It is the child of Yu Ning and Ze'er, but you may not believe it. Lingling came from the year of Xinwei..."
"Oh?" Emperor Shiyuan asked, "Xin Weinian... isn't that five years later?"
Princess Pingrou nodded and said: "This matter is indeed unbelievable, but Lingling did come from the year of Xinwei. Only Yu Ning and Ze'er knew about this matter, and Yu Ning was afraid that someone would find out Lingling's identity. , also informed me of this matter."
Emperor Shiyuan realized: "No wonder, why did a child suddenly appear and look so similar to Ze'er?"
Princess Pingrou smiled and said: "I don't know how this child got here. There are really many wonders in this world."
Emperor Shiyuan said: "I will give Yu Ning and Ze'er a marriage right now. As for Lingling's identity, you don't need to tell Yu Ning that I already know it."
"Yes." Princess Pingrou responded.
Princess Pingrou saw Emperor Shi Yuan opening a wooden box and eating the elixir inside and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Emperor Shi Yuan took the red elixir and said, "This is the elixir of longevity that your brother specially asked for from Taoist Master He. Recently, my heart and head are always hurting. Taking this elixir of longevity will indeed make you feel better." For a while.”
Princess Pingrou said: "You should be at ease. Now that your children have grown up and the situation in the court is stable, it is time for you and your mother to enjoy the happiness of your family."
Emperor Shi Yuan took the elixir and felt comfortable and said: "I really want to live a long life. Look at my prosperity, which will last for thousands of generations."
Princess Pingrou said: "Daddy will definitely live a long life and enjoy eternal blessings!"
Emperor Shi Yuan looked at the elixir in the box and said, "With this elixir, you can live a hundred and a thousand years. I heard that the Taoist Master He who practiced this elixir is one hundred and twenty years old, and he is still very energetic."
Princess Pingrou smiled and said: "It is our children's blessing that our father can live a long life. My younger brother is filial, but my daughter wants to boldly ask her father for an elixir for my mother-in-law to use."
Emperor Shiyuan said: "Your mother-in-law is very disrespectful to you. If I hadn't looked at the old prince's face, I would not have spared her a long time ago. Why did you give her the elixir?"
Princess Pingrou said: "Aren't you afraid that her death will delay Ze'er and Yu Ning's marriage? Ze'er and Yu Ning's marriage will definitely take place after the marriage of his younger brother and He Qing, and there will definitely be more than one. As for Yue, she always hopes that my mother-in-law will live a few more days."
Emperor Shiyuan gave Princess Pingrou an elixir and said, "Keep this elixir. You don't need to use it unless absolutely necessary. There is no need to waste it."
"Thank you dad." Princess Pingrou said, "Dad, why don't you write the edict in your own hand now? I can go back to Prince Qi's Mansion to propose marriage."
Emperor Shiyuan wrote the imperial edict of marriage, and Princess Pingrou smiled happily after taking it.
Seeing Princess Pingrou's smile, Emperor Shi Yuan said, "Don't make another joke about becoming a monk. Yun'er already owes the Qi family. If Ze'er dares to betray Yu Ning again, I will definitely not protect Ze'er." Got it!"
"Yes." Princess Pingrou smiled lightly, "How could Ze'er be negative about Yu Ning?"
Princess Pingrou came out of Zichen Palace with the imperial edict and bumped into the prince.
"Sister Huang, why are you so happy?"
Princess Pingrou saw her younger brother and said, "Your Majesty has granted marriage to Ze'er and Yu Ning. The wedding date is set on the second day of April, which happens to be a few days after your wedding. In this way, guests who want to come to your wedding can also I can afford Ze’er’s wedding wine.”
Zhao Chong lowered his eyes to hide the emotion behind his eyes, "Congratulations to the emperor."
Princess Pingrou said: "We are all happy together. There have been a lot of good things recently. You are also getting married. I remember you were so small when you were first born, and you grew so big all of a sudden. In the blink of an eye, I am also old. .”
Zhao Chong said: "Sister Huang is young, how can she be old?"
Zhao Chong looked at the wooden box in Princess Pingrou's hand and said, "This is it?"
Princess Pingrou said: "Brother, please be filial and go to Taoist Master He to ask for longevity pills for my father. This is specially given to me by my father."
Zhao Chong's eyes were startled, "Is my sister feeling uncomfortable?"
Princess Pingrou said: "It's for my mother-in-law."
Zhao Chongdao: "That's it."
… After Qi Yuning sent away his brother and A Ping, he was quite reluctant to part with him. After all, he still couldn’t see his nephew being born.
Lingling was in Qi Yuning's arms and said loudly: "Grandma!"
Qi Yuning looked from a distance and saw Princess Pingrou sitting on a sedan chair heading towards their palace.
Qi Yuning stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness the Princess."
Princess Pingrou got off the sedan and handed the imperial decree in her hand to Qi Yuning, "Ning Ning, you have to change your name."
When Qi Yuning saw the imperial edict, he put down Lingling and respectfully knelt down to receive the edict with both hands.
Opening the imperial edict and taking a look, Qi Yuning ignored the words praising himself and Lu Ze. He only saw the last sentence, which said that Lu Ze, the son of Princess Chang'an and Princess Pingrou of Prince Qi's palace, would get married on April [-]nd.
It’s the second day of April, so it’s only been a month and a half.
Princess Pingrou smiled and hugged Lingling beside her and said, "Don't call me, Your Highness, so outspoken in the future. It's time to call me mother."
Qi Yuning lowered his head and whispered: "Mother."
"Hey." Princess Pingrou agreed happily.
Qi Yuning said to Li Chun on the side: "Send someone to find my brother quickly and tell him that my wedding is in April... Forget it, there is no need to go."
Although April is only a month and a half away, if A Ping stays, she may not have much time to spare. She is still pregnant and there is no need to wait another month for her belly to become pregnant before heading out. Now, she is taking advantage of the small month to go. More convenient.
It will be very difficult to travel when you have a big belly in the future.
Qi Yuning had been dealing with official matters all day. After Xu had already decided that she would marry Lu Ze, she was not nervous at all about getting married to Lu Ze.
After nightfall, Qi Yuning hadn't seen Lu Ze for a long time and wanted to take a rest, but Lingling had been troubled by nightmares in recent days and was clamoring for her father.
Qi Yuning ordered Jingzhe to go to the princess mansion next door to ask about Lu Ze's whereabouts.
……
In the Duke's Mansion of Lu State.
Mrs. Lu said to Lu Ze as she took in more air than she gave out: "Ze'er, Ze'er, it's really inappropriate for your mother to choose Qi Yuning for you to marry. It's very inappropriate. It will kill our Lu family." !”
Princess Pingrou didn't give Mrs. Lu a good look at the side and said: "Old madam, look at what you said, this princess is Ze'er's mother, I chose a noble princess to be his daughter-in-law, but it actually killed him ? On the contrary, it would be better for you to choose the daughter of a small official family before?"
Mrs. Lu gasped and said to the second wife of the Lu family: "Let all the servants go out and close the door."
Mrs. Lu waved her hand and asked the servants to go out.
Mrs. Lu glanced at the children and grandchildren of the Lu family and said: "Except for Yun'er who is not here today, all of us in the Lu family are here. Your Highness, I dare to say it carefully. This Qi Yuning is really not worthy of me." The Lu family’s wife.”
Lu Ze frowned and said, "Grandma!"
Mrs. Lu said: "How many generations can the wealth of the Qi family last? How many nobles of this dynasty do not surrender their military power? What about the Qi family? Everyone in Beicheng recognizes the Qi family as king, and they say that King Qi is the king of the north. The emperor.
Today, His Majesty thinks of the Qi family's contribution to building the country for him and does not care about it, but when the prince ascends the throne in the future, the Qi family will be a thorn in the side of the new emperor! "
Mrs. Lu coughed a few times and said: "Qi family, once the Qi family is liquidated by the new emperor in the future, it won't even be able to compare with the furs of the Guan family that I selected for Ze'er!"
Princess Pingrou frowned and said, "The prince is my biological brother, how could he attack my nephew-in-law's family?"
"Is my nephew more important than the stability of the throne?"
Mrs. Lu said to Lu Ze again: "Your grandfather has been scolded all his life for not supporting His Majesty on the throne. Isn't it because of the prosperity of our Lu family?
Ze'er, Ze'er, if you marry Qi Yuning, you will harm the whole Lu family. You can't kill your brothers and sisters just to marry Qi Yuning! "
Lu Baozhu said: "I don't think that marrying Qi Yuning will harm our Lu family! Baohua, Baoxue, Baoshuang, what about you?"
The three Lu sisters looked at Mrs. Lu and then at Lu Baozhu, and they all helped Qi Yuning speak.
"Grandma, you are worrying too much."
"Even if the Qi family is liquidated by the new emperor, Princess Qi will still be a married woman."
"After all, there is still a place for Lingling."
Lu Ze said: "Grandma, forgive my grandson for being unfilial. My grandson will only marry Yu Ning."
Mrs. Lu said: "You, Ze'er, do you really want to kill our entire Lu family?"
Lu Baozhu said: "Grandma, why do you have to accuse my brother of such a big crime? Besides, my grandfather has already issued the imperial edict of marriage. Not marrying Qi Yuning now will really harm us Lu. As for my family, resisting the decree and disobeying it will be a serious crime against the nine clans."
Mrs. Lu said: "Ze'er can follow Yun'er's example and become a monk. After becoming a monk, he will be exempted from the crime of resisting the imperial edict, and his marriage to Princess Qi will naturally not be possible."
