Lin Ze said, "Two months ago, my grandmother made a verbal marriage agreement with the Guan family, and the one she chose was the sixth daughter of the Guan family."
Princess Pingrou had never seen the Sixth Miss Guan, but she had heard of her beautiful name.
Temple two months ago. It was Miss huan Liu who saved her, and that's when she verbally agreed to the marriage. Because my parents are busy with my brother's marriage, we haven't discussed it with you yet. I wanted to talk to you two about it after my brother entered the family, and then go and propose marriage."
Lin Ze had never met Miss huan Liu, and he couldn't say whether he was satisfied with his fiancée or not, but he felt that he should repay his grandmother for saving his life.
Princess Pingrou said helplessly: "Still proposing marriage? If I offend Qi Yuning, I'm afraid your grandfather will demote me to a commoner."
Duke Lin said, "That's not the case. After all, Your Highness is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty and His Majesty.
How could His Majesty and His Majesty be willing to let Your Highness be demoted to a commoner?"
Princess Pingrou held her eldest son's hand and said with a worried look on her face, "My eighth brother was exiled to Cangzhou because he offended Qi Yuning.
Father always said that without the Qi family, there would be no Zhao family. Now there are only two siblings left in the Qi family.
Lin Yun is still bullying Prince Qi. Father will definitely not forgive me.
Ze'er, mother doesn't want to be demoted to the bitter cold of Cangzhou, so you should marry Qi Yuning. As for the young lady from the huan family, mother will definitely find her a good family to marry into!"
Lin Ze said, "Mother, I don't think Princess Qi wants to marry me either."
Lin Ze recalled that Qi Yuning's eyes were filled with cold hatred when he saw her on Longhua Mountain during the day. It seemed that she hated the Lu family.
Even if she didn't have an engagement, Princess Qi would never marry into the Lin family again due to her pride.
Princess Pingrou looked at her eldest son. Her eldest son was very good at growing up. He picked out the good looks of her and Prince Consort Lin. She was not bragging as a mother, but her son's appearance was the most handsome man in Shengjing. How could any girl not be moved?
"No, my son is so handsome, Princess Qi will definitely take a fancy to you!"
Princess Pingrou said earnestly, "Ze'er, in order to avoid being demoted to Cangzhou, our family of four is counting on you to marry the princess."
Lin Ze said, "Mother, we can't take breaking off the engagement lightly. The huan family has been kind to my grandmother, how can I repay kindness with hatred and break off the engagement? I will go to Prince Qi's mansion tomorrow morning after the court session to apologize and I will definitely send gifts to Princess Qi until she calms down."
Princess Pingrou sighed and became anxious. She tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, fearing that she would really be demoted to Cangzhou.
Unlike Princess Pingrou who couldn't sleep all night because of worry about being demoted, Qi Yuning slept soundly.
Especially in the second half of the night, it was cold after the fall, but Qi Yuning always felt like there was a small stove in his arms, warm and fragrant, and he slept more comfortably.
Qi Yuning woke up slowly after hearing the maid's voice. She was a little dazed for a moment, then she opened her eyes and asked, "Linchun, what are you doing so loudly so early in the morning?"
Linchun pointed at Qi Yuning's arms and said tremblingly: "Princess, Princess, in your arms..."
When Qi Yuning lowered his head, he saw a little girl about three years old sleeping sweetly in his arms.
The little girl had long hair, a chubby round face, and was wearing a light pink underdress.
Qi Yuning looked at Lichun in surprise, "Where did this child come from?"
Linchun was also very curious. "Last night, after I waited for the princess to rest, I stood guard at the door with Guyu, and never saw any children come in...
A little girl suddenly appeared on the bed, and Qi Yuning was very surprised.
If pinching herself didn't hurt, she would have thought she was still dreaming.
Guyu and her group of maids came in with basins of water to help Qi Yuning wash up. They were slightly surprised to see the child on Qi Yuning's bed.
Qi Yuning reached out and touched her soft little face as she slept peacefully.
The little girl moved her hands after her face was touched. She clenched her cute and soft little hands into fists and rubbed her sleepy face.
When the little girl put down her fist, she opened her eyes, and Qi Yuning was able to see her appearance clearly.
The little girl had a pair of peach blossom eyes and a tall nose, and she looked exactly like Lin Ze when he was a child.
However, Lin Ze's appearance became more solemn and steady, while the little girl's appearance became more lovely.
"Mother".
