Zhao Jie glanced at Chu Chi and just frowned slightly.
Queen Mother Zhou said angrily, "Jie'er, I can let you fool me about letting Chu Chi become the queen, but are you going to go against my will even with the matter of the concubines in the harem now?"
Zhao Jie responded, "Mother, please calm down. I will issue an imperial decree to grant Ning Ji the title of Imperial Consort."
"That's good!" said Queen Mother Zhou.
Chu Chi listened from the side and didn't think anything of it. She knew from the beginning that Zhao Jie would not have only one woman in his heart. It was rare that Zhao Jie could overcome all difficulties and make her the queen's wife.
Chu Chi gently stroked her slightly pregnant belly, but she felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.
Today is His Majesty's wedding, and there are more than a hundred tables of wedding banquet. Lu Ze and Qi Yuning sat in the seats at the top. Halfway through the meal, Lu Yiling disappeared.
Since they were in the palace, Qi Yuning was relieved about Lu Yiling.
In Fengyi Palace.
Chu Chi was still wearing a phoenix robe, with her makeup on. An exquisite phoenix crown with nine pearl tassels hung in front of her forehead. Chu Chi looked at herself in the mirror without any joy. The empty palace was full of luxury and majesty.
"Aunt, it's so quiet here."
Lu Yiling walked into Fengyi Palace, knelt down beside Chu Chi and said, "Are you unhappy about getting married today?"
Chu Chi said: "I think mother, brother and Xiaoxiao are gone."
She was getting married today, and the only family member she had was Chu Qing. Her mother Xiaoxiao and Chu Che were unable to make it to Shengjing City. Chu Yan divorced his wife and married his previous wife after the old lady passed away. Now the Chu family in Yangzhou was in a mess.
Chu Chi knew that it would be difficult for them to make it here. He was afraid that the Chu family would not have peace within this year, and Chu Chi did not want to travel back and forth between Shengjing City and Yangzhou.
Lu Yiling said, "I miss them too. Why don't I go to North City and go to Jiangnan instead? I haven't been to Jiangnan yet."
Chu Chi smiled faintly: "Me neither."
"I heard there are so many beauties in Yangzhou City. I want to go to Yangzhou to see them." Lu Yiling said, "I'll ask my father to go to Yangzhou after visiting Beicheng. I can take my aunt with me when I go."
Chu Chi's smile paused, "I can't get out."
Lu Yiling asked, "Why can't you get out?"
Chu Chi did not explain it clearly to Lu Yiling, and the young Lu Yiling naturally did not understand that not everyone could enter and leave the palace freely like her.
"Sister Chi, you seem very unhappy." Lu Yiling raised her eyes and looked at Chu Chi. "The wet nurse is not in Shengjing City, so I have to take good care of you for her. Did your uncle bully you?"
Chu Chi shook his head and said, "No, I'm very happy. I've become the most envied woman in the world, the Lord of the Six Palaces. How can I not be happy? I'm really happy."
"You are lying. You are not happy at all." Lu Yiling tilted her head and looked at Chu Chi.
Chu Chi looked at Lu Yiling, reached out and held Lu Yiling in his arms, leaned on Lu Yiling's head and cried.
Lu Yiling reached out and patted Chu Chi's shoulder. She said, "Mother said you can't cry on a wedding day, but if you're unhappy, then cry."
After Chu Chi cried for a while, Lu Yiling took out a piece of candy wrapped in rice paper from her purse and said, "Sister Chi, eat candy. Eating candy will make you happy."
Chu Chi took the candy from Lu Yiling and said with an effortless smile, "Thank you."
"I'm leaving now. If your uncle bullies you, you can find someone to tell me. Although your uncle treats me very well, my nanny treats me better. I will still help her."
Lu Yiling waved at Chu Chi, and Chu Chi smiled faintly and gently stroked her lower abdomen.
Today is His Majesty's wedding, and Qi Yuning drank several glasses of wine. On the way back to the princess's mansion, Qi Yuning felt dizzy. Lu Ze also drank a lot today.
Lu Zhixiu still looked indifferent, only Lu Yiling kept sighing.
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Your uncle is very happy today, why are you sighing all the time?"
Lu Yiling looked up and said, "Mother, Sister Chi cried today. Why did she cry when she got married?"
Qi Yuning said, "It's no wonder she feels bad that her husband took in a concubine on the first day of marriage."
Lu Yiling said, "Why is it so hard to take concubines? My uncle is the emperor. He can let all the beautiful women in the world enter the palace and like them all. Lingling will also choose many beautiful men in the future and marry them all."
Qi Yuning flicked Lu Yiling's forehead and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Yiling covered her forehead and said, "It hurts."
Lu Ze said to Lu Yiling, "Lingling, a person's heart only has one. Once they like someone, they decide to spend the rest of their life with her. Their heart is small and can only accommodate one person."
Lu Yiling shook her head and said, "No, Lingling has many people in her heart, including her father, mother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and brothers..."
Qi Yuning didn't explain too much to Lu Yiling. Lu Yiling would know when she grew up. How could she be willing to share her love with others? But Zhao Jie was the emperor, and as an emperor, it was impossible for him to grow old with only one person.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze beside him, thinking that fortunately he was only the regent and not the emperor.
…
After His Majesty took power, he appointed Lu Ze as the Grand Tutor. Lu Ze took the opportunity to ask for a three-month vacation. Zhao Jie was about to take power and was afraid that there would be some mistakes in the important matters of the court. But he also knew that Lingling had been talking about going to North City for a long time.
If he didn't let her go, Lingling would probably come to the palace to make trouble every day, so Zhao Jie also approved Lu Ze's leave.
When Lu Ze left, the court was full of discussions. Some said that Lu Ze was not greedy for power, while others said that Lu Ze left on purpose to embarrass the young emperor, hoping that the young emperor would make a mistake so that he could come back to take power.
