In Yuemi Courtyard.

After finishing her meal, Lu Yiling kept staring at Chu Chi.

Chu Chi heard the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside and said to Lu Yiling, "Little Princess, there are fireworks outside. I remember you like setting off fireworks the most."

Lu Yiling looked at the excitement outside, leaned over to take a look, then looked at Chu Chi and said, "No, I won't go to set off the fireworks today. I want to keep an eye on you. You can't leave my little sister behind."

Chu Chi said: "I just said that it is a choice between my mother and the child. I will choose my mother, but I will not give up the child at this time."

Lu Yiling raised her eyes and looked at Chu Chi and said, "Even if you choose your mother, you can still give birth to the child. At worst, you can go to North City to give birth. North City is so fun. I remember when I was a child, I went there to slide on the sand. There were camels there, and there was endless yellow sand..."

Chu Chi smiled faintly, looked at Lingling lovingly and said, "Okay, I will give birth to the child."

Only then did Lu Yiling feel safe to go to the front yard to set off fireworks.

The front yard was already lively with a few children, and it became even more lively with Lu Yiling's arrival. They set off fireworks for nearly half an hour.

In Yuemi Courtyard.

Chu Chi and Ye Li fell asleep together. Ye Li held Chu Chi in his arms and said, "Chi'er, His Majesty cares about you very much. It is truly commendable that he can do all this for you. You should just listen to His Majesty..."

Chu Chi said in a deep voice, "Mother, if I abandon you for the position of Queen, wouldn't I be a villain? How can I be a mother to the country? I am naturally grateful that Your Majesty treats me this way, but you are much more important than him."

Ye Li hugged Chu Chi and said, "Chi'er, mother just wants you to live a good life. In fact, His Majesty is right, and Chu... Chu Yan is also right. Che'er doesn't have a great future with me. He will always be just a small guard beside the little princess."

Chu Chi smiled faintly and said, "But I see that my brother seems to like being a guard very much."

Ye Li said: "Qing'er will naturally have a bright future after His Majesty ascends the throne. Xiaoxiao is a girl, and Qing'er's official position is enough to find a good family for her.

Only Che'er can't really be the little princess's bodyguard for the rest of his life. It's fine if the little princess doesn't marry, but what will he do after she does? One day the little princess will grow up too."

Ye Li sighed and said, "Chi'er, you and your brother should go back to the Chu family together."

Chu Chi shook his head and said, "I don't!"

"Chi'er, don't be willful. It's a blessing for you that His Majesty can do this for you. You must cherish it."

"No, I won't give up on my mother. I don't want the position of queen!"

"You are already twenty years old. Most girls of your age would have both sons and daughters. And now you are pregnant. You have been in the palace for so many years, why are you still acting like a child?"

Chu Chi cried in Ye Li's arms, "Mom, I won't go back to the Chu family. If you want Che'er to go back, let him go alone."

Ye Li sighed and said, "Che'er should go back, but you..."

Chu Chi put his hands over his ears. Ye Li smiled helplessly and said, "Are you acting like a spoiled child in front of His Majesty like this?"

Chu Chi shook his head. "I wouldn't dare to act like this in front of Your Majesty. Only in front of you can I act like a spoiled child. So, I won't go back to the Chu family. If you're worried about Che'er's future, let him go back alone. But I think Che'er definitely doesn't want to go back either."

Ye Li sighed again: "Che'er always listens to me, so I'm not worried about him. But I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with the little princess..."

There was a noise at the door, and Chu Chi immediately stood up and asked, "Who?"

"Meow."

Ye Li said to Chu Chi: "The little princess is raising a few wild cats, I'm afraid they are wild cats."

…

Lu Yiling was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the cold. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a cold wind blowing. She did not call Hongdou and Ludou to get up, but lit the candle and walked to the window.

"Chu Che, you'll freeze me to death like this."

"Hey, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Chu Che looked at Lu Yiling and said, "My mother wants me to go back to the Chu family. She has made up her mind."

"How can this be? How could you, Nanny, do this? I won't let you go back." Lu Yiling said, "I'll see who dares to take you away from me!"

"Your Majesty also wants me to leave." Chu Che wiped his tears and said, "You may not be able to help me this time. I want to go to Beicheng as a soldier. My mother is worried that if I stay with you, I will only be able to be a small guard and have no great future. I will go to Beicheng to serve as a soldier and earn a career. Then my mother will not let me return to the Chu family."

Lu Yiling looked at Chu Che reluctantly and said, "I don't want you to leave. You promised to be my bodyguard for life."

Chu Che whispered, "I'll be the little princess's guard when I return after achieving fame and success."

Lu Yiling shed tears and said, "Are you going to North City alone? North City is so far away. I'll let Qi Zhiyuan take you there. He was going to North City for training after the New Year anyway, so why not let him go early?"

Chu Che took off the golden locket hanging around his neck and said, "This is the golden locket that His Majesty gave me when I was born. I have been wearing it all these years to keep me safe. Now that I am leaving, I will leave this locket to you. When the time comes, you can bring this locket to me and I will be your bodyguard."

Lu Yiling also took off the jade locket from her neck and said, "Father and mother said that this jade pendant saved mother's life. It is also the most important thing to me. It was given to me by Taoist Master He, the Immortal. I give it to you to keep you safe."

Chu Che took the still warm jade lock and looked at the small words on it. "This has your birth date and time."
