It was not until the auspicious time for the one-year-old celebration that Qi Yuning put his niece down. The niece grabbed a handful of swords, which made Qi Yu'an extremely happy.
The Qi family naturally hopes that the Qi family army will have successors.
Lingling asked Qi Yuning, "Mom, what did I get when I was a child?"
Qi Yuning thought of Lingling's one-year-old celebration and smiled, "It's better not to mention it. You don't want to know."
"What did I catch?"
Qi Zhiyuan covered his face and laughed, "You grabbed the steamed buns that someone else had eaten, the kind that you snatched away."
"Ah?" Lingling blushed immediately. "That must be because I was young and ignorant."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly: "You are still a child now."
Lingling waved her hands and said, "I'm almost eight years old now, I'm not a kid anymore. I'll be a marriageable girl in seven years. These seven years will just fly by in the blink of an eye. It'll be very quick."

"This Gu Wei was promoted by Chu Yan, but he's actually a member of the Chu family. Little Zhao Jie wouldn't really want to repay kindness with enmity, would he? Or does he want to use the Chu family's power to suppress us and balance the relationship in the court?"
After hearing about Gu Wei's background, Lu Ze said, "The Chu family has really put a lot of thought into this. Chu Yan really shouldn't be underestimated. Chu Yan isn't the eldest son of the Chu family. In this family that values the eldest branch, he's the fifth son. To be able to become the head of the Chu family must have extraordinary means."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze worriedly and said, "You have to be more careful with him."
Lu Ze said, "Okay."
