For a moment, Queen Mother Zhou saw that Chu Chi was not angry. She stared at Chu Chi's belly. If it was a granddaughter, it would be fine. But if it was a grandson, the grandson would have to be handed over to the queen to raise to avoid them having a new puppet.

Zhao Jie said, "Mother, it's already February, so the wedding should be held as soon as possible. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has selected two dates based on my birth date: February 22nd and March 12th. I would like to choose February 22nd for our wedding. What do you think?"

Queen Mother Zhou said, "This date is good, but isn't it a little too close? The coronation ceremony is a major event. You didn't hold a coronation ceremony when you ascended the throne. Now the wedding and the ceremony of taking power must be held together. Don't let others down, or you down."

Zhao Jie said, "Don't worry, mother. The Shang Palace Bureau has already made preparations."

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard the words "Shang Gong Bureau", she said, "The power of the Shang Gong Bureau should be taken back. When the Empress enters the palace, there is absolutely no reason for Zhaoyi to be in charge of the harem."

Zhao Jie responded, "When the Queen enters the palace, she will take charge of the harem's Phoenix Seal."

Seeing that Zhao Jie was finally willing to obey, Queen Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, okay, that's good."

His Majesty's wedding is scheduled for February 22nd, and martial law has been imposed throughout Shengjing City.

Qi Yuning was busy with Zhao Jie's wedding. Princess Pingrou was old after all, and she was unable to help with her nephew's wedding, so she asked Qi Yuning to help.

Lu Yiling was also very happy that her uncle was about to marry Sister Chi as his queen. She had been helping Qi Yuning prepare for the wedding ceremony these days.

"Mother, when Sister Chi gets married, will Chu Che and the wet nurse come back? I miss them so much."

"It's probably too late to come back." Qi Yuning said, "The wedding date is too close."

Lu Yiling raised her eyes again and asked Qi Yuning, "Mother, after my uncle gets married and takes over the government, will Dad have time to accompany us to North City? I miss my cousin, I want to go to North City to see him."

"You probably want to go to North City for fun, right?" Qi Yuning smiled faintly at Lu Yiling. "But after your uncle takes over the government, your father might be free to accompany us to North City."

When Lu Yiling heard Qi Yuning's words, she smiled happily and said, "That's great."

As soon as Lu Ze entered the room, he heard Lu Yiling's laughter. "Why are you so happy?"

Lu Yiling smiled and said, "Mother said that after my uncle takes power, father will take me to North City to play."

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "After Zhao Jie took power, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to withdraw."

Qi Yuning said, "If you don't have time, let my brother take Lingling there. She keeps talking about Beicheng, and it's time to make her wish come true."

Lu Yiling pulled Lu Ze's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Before my uncle took over the government, you said you didn't have time. Now that my uncle is about to take over the government, you still don't have time? Am I not as important as my uncle in your eyes?"

Lu Ze smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, after your uncle takes power, I will accompany you to North City."

Lu Yiling smiled happily, "I'll go tell my brother the good news."

Qi Yuning saw Lu Yiling leaving and looked at Lu Ze and said, "You dote on Lingling too much."

"We only have one daughter. As she said, could it be that our uncle is more important than her? Besides, we haven't had any free time in the past few years. Xiu'er has always been reluctant to talk. Taking him for walks might make him more cheerful."

Qi Yuning felt a headache whenever she thought of Lu Zhixiu. "I don't know whose temper he inherited from, but he always has a stern face. It's colder than the thousand-year-old ice on the snowy mountains. I'm lucky to hear him say even ten words a day."

Lu Ze chuckled and said, "It's up to you. You were like this when you were a kid."

"I'm not." Qi Yuning said.

Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You were very aloof when you were young. Back then, after your family had just gone through an incident, you ignored everyone who came to see you. You account for 70% of Zhixiu's current aloof personality."

Qi Yuning said, "It's obviously you who are so cold. Everyone knows that the Regent has a cold and stern face and is difficult to get close to."

Lu Ze chuckled and did not refute. Lu Zhixiu was indeed born with a cold personality. He was very cold not only to outsiders but also to his parents. The only people who could make Lu Zhixiu not so cold were Lu Yiling and Princess Pingrou.

Of course, it was also because Lu Zhixiu was afraid of Lu Yiling, and also because Princess Pingrou was a generation apart from him, and Lu Zhixiu really couldn't resist.

At night, when the princess was having dinner at her mansion.

Princess Pingrou sighed softly, and Lu Yiling asked considerately, "What's wrong, Grandmother?"

Princess Pingrou said, "Your great-aunt Pinghe is so happy to have a little granddaughter. That little soft and tender girl looks so cute in her skirt. You are the only girl in your generation in our family."

Lu Yiling looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, Lingling wants a younger sister."

Qi Yuning said, "Isn't your aunt pregnant? You will have a sister soon. If you really want a sister, you can go to the palace next door to visit your cousin."

Lu Yiling said: "I want my sister!"

Princess Pingrou smiled faintly and said, "After Jie'er takes power, Yuning, you and Ze'er can have another child. While I'm still young and I can still help you raise the child, you should have another child."

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze, and Lu Ze agreed, "Okay."

…

On February 22, His Majesty got married, and the entire Shengjing City was filled with joy.

The Queen is getting married from the Chu family villa. Qi Yuning, as the cousin-in-law of His Majesty, comes to welcome the bride. After dressing up today, Chu Chi looks even more beautiful, and the peony on her head makes her look more elegant and luxurious.

Lu Yiling was stunned watching from the side. "Aunt, you are so beautiful as a bride. Will I be as beautiful as this when I get married in the future?"
