Qi Yuning stayed in the house for two months to recuperate. Fortunately, the child was saved. It was only after the fetus was stable in the womb that Qi Yuning dared to tell Lingling that she was pregnant.
When Lu Yiling heard that Qi Yuning was pregnant, she spun around happily, "I have a sister! I finally have a sister!"
Lu Zhixiu said from the side: "It's my younger brother."
Lu Yiling glared at Lu Zhixiu angrily, "It's my sister."
Lu Zhixiu said, "Hello, brother."
"The Lu family has enough younger brothers!" Lu Yiling said, "If you really are a younger brother, I will raise you as my younger sister."
When Lu Zhixiu heard Lu Yiling's words, he was afraid that Lu Yiling would braid his hair like a girl again, so he compromised and said, "It's my sister."
Qi Yuning listened to her youngest son's words of reluctance and chuckled softly, "Now that the fetus is stable, we should go back."
Lu Yiling was reluctant to leave her playmates in North City, but she also knew that it was time to go home, and her playmates in Shengjing City would miss her.
There was no rush on the journey back to Shengjing City. Lu Ze was afraid that Qi Yuning would get tired, so he walked slowly. By the time they returned to Shengjing City, they had already walked almost eleven miles.
As soon as Lu Yiling returned to Shengjing City, she went to Fengyi Palace to visit her little sister who had just been born.
Lu Yiling didn't dare to hug her soft and boneless little sister, "Sister is so beautiful."
Zhao Jie said from the side: "She looks like her mother, so she is naturally beautiful."
Lu Yiling looked at the white-faced little princess and asked, "Uncle, can I take my sister home to raise her?"
"What do you think?"
"Of course I can. I know my uncle loves Lingling the most."
Zhao Jie smiled and said, "Now, my uncle doesn't love you the most, but Ah Shi. Ah Shi can't go back with you."
Lu Yiling had no choice but to return Sister A Shi to Chu Chi, "Then I will come to the palace every day to play with A Shi."
Chu Chi chuckled at Lu Yiling and said, "That's fine. When Ah Shi grows up a little, the little princess can take Ah Shi to play in the princess's mansion."
Zhao Jie said: "When Ah Shi grows up, she will grow up too."
Although Lu Yiling is still childish, she has grown very tall. Both her parents are tall, and the eleven-year-old Lingling already looks like a graceful young girl.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is here to visit the little princess."
Chu Chi hugged Ah Shi tightly and said, "Let her in."
Ning Ji entered, bowed to Zhao Jie, and said in a gentle voice, "I greet your majesty."
Lu Yiling shuddered for a while. "I get goose bumps just listening to you speak. Can't you just speak properly? Isn't it uncomfortable to speak in a shrill voice?"
Ning Ji's face was grim, and she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Jie, "Your Majesty, I, I..."
Zhao Jie said, "Lingling, you are not allowed to talk about the Imperial Concubine."
Lu Yiling snorted and said, "Brother You said that people cannot be fickle. If I want to marry my cousin, I can't marry him. If I want to marry him, I can't marry my cousin. Just like my father, mother, uncle and aunt, there is only each other, monogamy and no third party.
Of course, you can also do like my second aunt, and wait until her husband dies before marrying my second uncle. In this world, a couple can only be a husband and wife, and there can be no one else.
"Little uncle, you are the ruler of the world, but you can't set an example. You married so many wives half-heartedly and almost led me astray. Now you are still speaking for the concubine you half-heartedly married, humph!"
Zhao Jie: “…”
In Lu Yiling's eyes, there is indeed no concept of having three wives and four concubines. The Lu family is not allowed to take concubines, and the Qi family does not have any concubines.
Lu Ze's good friends Lin Jiang and Qin Feng also didn't take concubines. For Lingling, it was natural for a man to have three or four wives.
Ning Ji said, "Princess, His Majesty is the ruler of the world. There is nothing wrong with having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines."
Lu Yiling said, "My aunt is the queen, the mother of the country. Can she also have 72 princes? As a princess, I have fewer. Can I also have 36 princes?"
It's a bit unfair to choose only one man from so many men in the world. Since my uncle can marry 72 concubines, then marrying 36 husbands is not too much for me, aunt, don't you think? "
Chu Chi didn't dare to say a word.
Zhao Jie looked at Lu Yiling and said, "Lingling, in this world, only men can have three wives and four concubines, while women must remain faithful to one man."
Lu Yiling: "What kind of perverse logic is this? Why should women be faithful to one man, while men can have three wives and four concubines? I don't accept it!"
"This is the way the world is. It's useless for you to be dissatisfied."
Lu Yiling frowned and said, "What a bullshit world! Why can men have three wives and four concubines, but women must be faithful to one man? I refuse to accept this. How can this be so unfair? I hate this rule!"
Ning Ji looked at Lu Yiling in shock and said, "Are you talking shit about His Majesty again? Lu Yiling, how can you be so disrespectful to His Majesty! This shows how well the Prince of Chen has educated you..."
Zhao Jie glared at Ning Ji, "Shut up."
Lu Yiling pouted and said, "I don't believe there is such a rule in this world. Uncle, you are lying! I'm going to go back and ask my mother."
Lu Yiling hurried back to the princess's residence and broke into Qi Yuning's courtyard. "Mother, mother, my uncle said that men in this world can have three wives and four concubines, but women can only be faithful to one husband. Is that true?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, but not every man in this world can have three wives and four concubines. There is a rule in the folk that a man can take a concubine only if he is childless at the age of forty. Only officials can take concubines. However, nowadays, some wealthy merchants with a good family background also take concubines. Not many people follow the rule that a man can take a concubine only if he is childless at the age of forty."
"Why?" Lu Yiling said in dissatisfaction, "Why can't women take husbands, but men can take concubines? It's so unfair!"
Qi Yuning said, "This world is inherently unfair."
Lu Yiling said angrily, "I'm so angry! I can't just let men take concubines, but I insist that women also take husbands. Why don't you take a husband first and set an example, mother?"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and rubbed Lu Yiling's head: "You are so filial!"
Lu Yiling's eyes curved as she said, "I'll go find a husband for you right away."
Qi Yuning smiled lightly and grabbed Lu Yiling's wrist. "Don't, mother doesn't want any other husbands because mother only likes your father. Besides, your father didn't take a concubine. If I took a concubine, it would be unfair to your father."
Lu Yiling said: "That's right."
Daddy didn't take a concubine, so to be fair, Mommy shouldn't take a husband either. But my uncle has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, so finding seventy-two husbands isn't a lot for my aunt.
Lu Yiling smiled faintly, "I know who to look for it for."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yiling and said, "Lingling, stop making such a fuss about this matter. You should go back to the academy and study."
"It won't be too late to go to the academy after I've found seventy-two husbands." Lu Yiling smiled and said, "No, I should go to the academy. There are so many men there, it won't be difficult to find seventy-two."
Qi Yuning: "..."
