Chapter 328 How Dare to Get Pregnant with Dragon Son Again?

Lu Han's marriage is a great joyous event for the grandchildren of Princess Pingrou.

Zhao Shu thought that Qi Zhiyuan and Lu Han were only a few months apart in age, so she was worried about his marriage. Qi Yuning had already made it clear that she would not marry Lingling to Qi Zhiyuan, but Qi Zhiyuan insisted on marrying Lingling.

Zhao Shu approached Qi Zhiyuan who had just returned and asked, "Brother Yuan, do you still want to marry Lingling?"

Zhao Shu thought that if it really didn't work, she would just shamelessly ask Qi Yuning for help.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I want to marry Chu Xiaoxiao, and her father also intends to marry Chu Xiaoxiao to me."

"Who is Chu Xiaoxiao?" Zhao Shu was stunned.

"The Queen's sister." Qi Zhiyuan said, "She is very quiet, not as sharp-tongued as Lingling, and she doesn't have a guard who goes in and out with her."

Zhao Shu said, "The Queen's sister? You have to ask your father about this marriage."

Qi Yu'an had just returned from the palace when Zhao Shu approached him and said, "Yuan Ge'er wants to marry the Queen's sister. Chu Xiaoxiao, what do you think of this marriage?"

"Ali was my maid back then, and now I want Yuan Ge'er to marry her daughter..." Qi Yu'an frowned slightly.

"You value family background again." Zhao Shu sighed, "His father is the head of the Chu family, which is not bad. I'm just worried that Your Majesty will think too much. After all, the head of the Chu family wants to have this marriage, and he also wants our Qi family to help the queen..."

Qi Yu'an said: "There is no need to worry about this. I see that His Majesty has a deep affection for the Queen. It is a good thing for our Qi family to be able to marry into the Chu family."

Zhao Shu said, "It would be better to postpone this marriage for a few more days."

Qi Yu'an said, "It's better to settle it as soon as possible, otherwise Yuan'er will have to marry Lingling again."

Zhao Shu smiled faintly and said, "That's right."

Chu Xiaoxiao and Qi Zhiyuan's marriage was decided as soon as the new year passed.

Lu Yiling just felt that this marriage was too unfair to Chu Xiaoxiao. As a younger sister, Lu Yiling really looked down on Qi Zhiyuan at all, but it seemed that everyone was very satisfied with this marriage.

The only person who was as dissatisfied with this marriage as Lu Yiling was the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother Zhou called Zhao Jie to the palace and said, "My son, you have not selected concubines or taken in concubines in recent years. I have not forced you in the past two years because I was implicated by the Ning family's scheme and Chu Chi's unborn child was implicated. But this time Chu Xiaoxiao married Qi Zhiyuan, which shows that the Chu family has no intention of doing so. Do you know the principle of the monopoly of power by foreign relatives?"

Zhao Jie said: "The marriage between the Chu family and the Qi family is a good thing. At least I don't have to worry about you doing something to Chu Chi again!"

"Mother, you should enjoy your remaining years in peace and comfort. You don't need to worry about the affairs of the harem and the court anymore."

Zhao Jie left after he finished speaking. Queen Mother Zhou sighed. Ever since Chu Chi had a miscarriage, Zhao Jie and she had become increasingly alienated.

In Fengyi Palace.

Chu Chi was preparing dowry for Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess Qi is a very good person. It would be great if you could marry into the Qi Palace and respect her. However, I am still worried about the temper of Young Prince Qi... and that he might wrong you."

Chu Xiaoxiao said: "Sister, I am not wronged. I can be your support. It doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances."

Chu Chi looked at Chu Xiaoxiao distressedly and said, "It's me who made you worry."

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the frail Chu Chi and said, "Sister, in fact, His Majesty has always been very good to you. It would be even better if you could get pregnant with a dragon son as soon as possible."

Chu Chi stroked her belly bitterly and said, "There are so many people in and outside the palace eyeing the position of Queen. How dare I get pregnant with another prince? I am afraid of following the same fate as the previous child. I don't want to experience the heart-wrenching pain of losing a child again. One Ah Shi is enough.

I don't ask for the future, I just ask for peace between me and A Shi today. No matter who gives birth to the prince in the future, I will be the queen mother and my A Shi will be the princess. Why should I fight with them?"

Chu Chi said, "There will always be beauties in the palace. The voices in the court asking His Majesty to select a concubine are becoming more and more clear. The Zhou family also often sends daughters to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. I don't want to fight anymore. There is no point in fighting for these things. I just want to live a peaceful life with Ah Shi every day."

Chu Xiaoxiao was surprised and said: "But sister, your greatest support is the prince."

"I have a prince, but there is a high possibility that I will not be able to keep him. I will have to endure physical and mental torture. I was terrified every day during the pregnancy. Forget it. I can no longer bear the pain of losing a child."

Chu Chi looked calm, "It's good like this now. I just hope that the other concubines can give birth to a prince soon. While your majesty still feels guilty about me, it would be perfect for you to bring the prince to my knees and raise him."

Chu Xiaoxiao sighed lightly, not knowing how to persuade him, and just said, "Sister, I'll go back first."

Chu Chi said: "Yeah."

Chu Xiaoxiao walked to the palace gate, saw Lu Yiling, saluted and said, "Little Princess."

Lu Yiling looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "I think what my aunt said makes sense. If you marry my cousin, he might make you feel wronged. He's a terrible person. He even called you a little mute."

Chu Xiaoxiao said: "The little prince is very good. When I was young, the little prince thought I was a little maid. He didn't despise me when he knew I couldn't speak. He would stand up for me when he saw people bullying me. The little prince just offended people with his words, but he is a good person."

Lu Yiling smiled faintly and said, "Tsk tsk, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already speaking for my cousin?"

Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly.

Lu Yiling stopped teasing Chu Xiaoxiao, and she did not enter Fengyi Palace, but went to Zichen Hall.

Lu Ze has taken leave and has not returned yet. The annual leave has just ended and the spring examination is approaching. Zhao Jie has been very busy these days.

Zhao Jie saw Lu Yiling coming and said, "Maybe you will have another brother or sister. Your parents have been away for a month and haven't come back yet. They have been married for more than ten years. I don't know what's the point of staying together."

Lu Yiling smiled and said, "You are jealous of my parents' good relationship. I wish I had another sister or brother. Yile is such a lovely sister, so having more sisters is not too much."

Uncle, I came to you today to ask for an official position. I have reached adulthood and I want to join the Dali Temple and become an official there."

Zhao Jie frowned and said, "Lingling, you are a woman."

Lu Yiling was unconvinced and said, "So what if I'm a girl? Uncle, although I'm a girl, I'm also one of the best in the Imperial College. I just want to enter the Dali Temple. Can you give me a position of Shaoqing?"

"No, the position of Junior Official of the Dali Temple is very important. If I rashly give it to you, I'm afraid people will call me a tyrant!"

Lu Yiling said, "You didn't let me enter the Dali Temple. You would be a tyrant if you missed a talent like me."

Zhao Jie smiled and nodded Lu Yiling's head. "How dare you call me a tyrant? You are not allowed to enter the Dali Temple. If you really want to be an official, I can give you an insignificant and idle position."

Lu Yiling said: "Your Majesty, I am serious. I want to enter the court to serve the country and help you solve your problems."

Zhao Jie said: "If you really want to help me solve my problems, why don't you help me think about how to make your aunt not feel miserable in the palace."

Zhao Jie's face darkened. "It's been five years, and she still feels that entering the palace and marrying me is hard. I don't know what to do anymore. Every day I see her miserable and unhappy look, and her perfunctory attitude towards me. I'm afraid to see her."

Lu Yiling said, "If I help you resolve my aunt's knot and let her stay in the palace happily, will you let me enter the Dali Temple as a female junior official?"

Zhao Jie said: "If you can really resolve your aunt's knot and stay in the palace happily, I will bear the infamy of being called a tyrant by the court and the public, and let you be the female junior official of the Dali Temple."

"Thank you, uncle!" Lu Yiling bowed and said.

Zhao Jie looked at Lu Yiling and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. She probably hates me, but because I am the emperor, she can't refuse me and can only be forced to obey. Even the smile she showed to me was forced and perfunctory."
