Zhao Jie sighed and said, "If you have to take a concubine?"
"There's never any reason to do it." Lu Ze said.
Zhao Jie said, "How could that be? What if I grant my cousin a concubine? Wouldn't you be forced to do so?"
Lu Zelian said, "Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for me. Lingling is already thinking about finding a husband for her mother. If I really take a concubine, I'm afraid Lingling will really find ten or eight husbands for her mother."
Zhao Jie asked again, "What about the princess's sister? What would she do if she knew you wanted to take a concubine?"
Lu Ze said, "She would probably happily accept those ten or eight husbands."
Zhao Jie said slowly, "Will she say that taking a concubine to expand the Lu family is a good thing?"
Lu Ze said, "Even if Yu Ning said this, it would definitely sound sarcastic. Is there any loving couple in this world who would truly want their husband to take a concubine? Seeing their husband having sex with another woman, even if it's for the sake of having children, would definitely be unbearable."
Zhao Jie sighed slightly: "I knew it was like this. She has never loved me, so she can openly say that she doesn't care about me having three harems and six courtyards, and that's why she is not jealous at all."

"The term of office of Yangzhou prefect has expired. Let Chu Qing take over the position." Zhao Jie said, "It's a good opportunity for him to gain some experience."
Lu Ze said, "Okay."
In Fengyi Palace, Lu Yiling was still playing with Ah Shi when she heard the palace maids in Zichen Hall come to report that His Majesty had appointed Chu Qing as the prefect of Yangzhou.
When Lu Yiling heard that he was the governor, she said, "What a lowly official you are."
Chu Chi said, "A fourth-rank official in charge of a state is no longer considered a minor official. I just didn't expect him to be sent abroad."
Chu Qing looked at Chu Chi and said, "My mother is not in good health. If I could go to Yangzhou, I could serve her. But if I go to Yangzhou, my sister will be the only one left in Shengjing City. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to have anyone to rely on."
Lu Yiling looked up and said, "Am I not a human?"
