Chapter 327 If He Marries Someone Else, I Won’t Like Him Anymore

Inside the cabin, in the Tianzi wing.

Chu Chi was worried when she saw Zhao Jie with a sullen look on his face. She didn't know how much he had just heard. When she heard Chu Che's voice coming from outside, Chu Chi looked outside with surprise.

I originally thought that I would not be able to see Chu Che during this trip to Yangzhou.

When Chu Chi was about to leave, Zhao Jie grabbed his wrist and said, "Let the two beauties your parents arranged get off the boat now and go back to where they came from. I don't need them."

Chu Chi responded: "Yes."

Zhao Jie hated it most when someone played tricks under his nose. She wanted to compete for favor with two beauties, but she would definitely be disliked by Zhao Jie.

What Chu Chi was even more afraid of was that Zhao Jie had just overheard all the conversations between her and her mother.

Chu Chi walked out of the cabin and asked the two beauties prepared by the Chu family to leave on a small boat.

Chu Chi went to the deck and saw Chu Che, who was a head taller than Lu Yiling. He chuckled and said, "Brother!"

"Sister!" Chu Che stepped forward and looked at Chu Chi and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Chu Chi smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown taller all of a sudden. I almost didn't recognize you."

Chu Che saw Zhao Jie coming out of the cabin, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Jie only said to Chu Che, "Get up, no need to be polite. I just heard what you said. Are you going to Shengjing?"

Chu Che nodded and said, "I promised the little princess that I would be her bodyguard for life, and I can't break my promise."

Zhao Jie said: "You are now the emperor's uncle, you can't be her bodyguard."

Lu Yiling was dissatisfied and said, "He was my bodyguard first and then the uncle of the emperor. Why can't the uncle of the emperor be my bodyguard?"

Zhao Jie didn't say much, but just followed Lu Yiling's wishes. Although she was an adult at the age of 15, she still had the mentality of a child sometimes.

At nightfall, Chu Chi stayed with A Shi until late at night, when she had to go back to Zhao Jie's room. She felt a little scared as soon as she entered.

Chu Chi said: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Jie frowned and said, "Go to sleep."

Chu Chi breathed a sigh of relief and lay down next to Zhao Jie and fell asleep. She closed her eyes and couldn't fall asleep but could only pretend to be asleep.

"It's been five years, Chu Chi. Why do you still not like me? Are you still unhappy about entering the palace? I have disregarded everything, even the important affairs of the court, to accompany you to Yangzhou, just so that you can reunite with your family, but what about you?"

"Is marrying me painful for you?"

Zhao Jie gently stroked Chu Chi's face, where a faint scar was vaguely visible. "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have wanted you. It would be better than you being unhappy every day in the palace. At least if you were not in the palace, you would be free and would not feel miserable."

A tear fell from Chu Chi's eye.

Zhao Jie sighed softly and said, "What should I do to make you feel that being in the palace is not painful?"

Chu Chi reached out and gently stroked his belly, still pretending to be asleep.

…

On the way back to Shengjing City from Yangzhou, Lu Yiling was obviously much happier than when she came here, perhaps because her little guard had returned.

After five years, Chu Che hasn't changed much since he was a child. As for Lu Yiling, he still listens to her.

Qi Zhiyuan was jealous every day on the way, "Lu Yiling, although Chu Che is your little guard, you should also pay attention to the difference between men and women. How can you be inseparable from him all the time?"

Lu Yiling said, "So what? He is my personal bodyguard, so he must stay with me all the time to protect me."

"How can there be any danger on board? This is a royal ship! There are guards all around, and there are many ships clearing the way."

Lu Yiling said: "We must be on guard against others, who knows if there will be any danger."

Qi Zhiyuan was extremely angry. "Forget it, forget it. I won't marry you. If I marry someone who is sharp-tongued, I will be pissed off every day. It would be better for me to marry that little mute. I will have peace and quiet there."

Lu Yiling snorted and said, "If you call me a little mute, will I still be willing to marry you?"

Qi Zhiyuan said: "She must be willing to marry me. You are the only one who is blind. You don't like me but you like that stupid Lu Han!"

Lu Yiling repeatedly said, "Qi Zhiyuan, shut up! Is this how you were brought up as the young prince of the Qi family? Have you learned such vulgar language in five years in Beicheng? Do you still have the bearing of a Qi family member?"

Qi Zhiyuan said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't say a word against Lu Han again."

Lu Yiling snorted and said, "Get lost!"

"Great!" Qi Zhiyuan somersaulted and rolled out.

Chu Che smiled softly and said, "This young prince Qi is quite humorous."

"What kind of humor is that? It's just a bad mouth. You have to persuade your third sister not to listen to your father and really marry my cousin."

Chu Che said, "I can't do anything about it. My father wanted my third sister to marry the young prince Qi for my eldest sister's sake. My eldest sister has been married into the palace as the empress for five years, but she has never had a prince. Her situation in the palace is not very good. My father thought that since my third sister has a marriage with the Qi and Lu families, my eldest sister's position in the palace will be more stable in the future."

Lu Yiling frowned and said, "What's wrong with your sister's situation in the palace? My uncle has been very good to my aunt. My aunt is the queen in the palace. Is she worried about not having a position?"

"It's a multi-layered marriage after all, with multiple layers of guarantees. According to my father's wishes, Third Sister can even be the concubine of Young Prince Qi."

Lu Yiling looked at Chu Che and said, "Why didn't your father let you marry into a concubine's family? How dare he bully his daughter like this?"

Chu Che said: "Everything is my father's idea, you can't vent your anger on me."

Lu Yiling said, "Pour the tea."

Chu Che immediately poured Lu Yiling a cup of warm tea.

The journey from Yangzhou to Shengjing City was still smooth sailing, and it was even earlier than the originally scheduled date to arrive in Shengjing City. On the day of arriving in Shengjing City, it happened to catch up with the happy event at the Princess's Mansion, Lu Han's wedding.

Lu Yiling watched Lu Han and the girl from the Mo family get married, and she no longer felt sad. She could even calmly call the girl from the Mo family "sister-in-law".

Return to Yuemiyuan.

Lu Yiling found a side yard next to Chu Che's master bedroom and said, "You can live next door to me. This way, I can call you if I need anything."

Chu Che responded: "Okay."

"You go down, I want to sleep, I feel a little dizzy after walking on the water for so long."

Chu Che looked at Lu Yiling and said, "Are you upset because Lu Han married someone else? I heard from Prince Qi that you like Lu Han? Do you want me to help you get Lu Han back before they have their wedding night?"

"No need, I don't like Lu Han anymore."

Lu Yiling looked at Chu Che and said, "If he marries someone else, I won't like him anymore."

Chu Che said: "Then I'll go down first."

Qi Yuning didn't expect that she would catch Lu Han getting married as soon as she came back. As Lu Han's aunt, she had to help entertain the guests non-stop. When the guests had dispersed late at night, she returned to the house only to feel very tired all over.

When she closed her eyes to rest, she suddenly felt a force on her wrist. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with anger.

Qi Yuning said: "I really left on a whim that day. I'm sorry."

Lu Ze said in a deep voice: "It's no use just saying sorry. I have asked His Majesty for half a month's leave. You and I will go to the manor without the music and will not come back until after the New Year."

Qi Yuning knew he was in the wrong and had no choice but to agree.
