Lu Yiling patted her chest and promised, "I will take good care of Sister Chi for you and will not let her suffer any grievances!"
Chu Qing sighed lightly. Lingling was so young, what could she know? His Majesty had not set foot in Fengyi Palace even once in the past half month. How could Lingling know about such grievances?
Although Chu Qing couldn't help Chu Chi in any way, she could still give Chu Chi some comfort.
Chu Chi smiled faintly and said, "Brother, go to Yangzhou without any worries. Don't worry about me."
Chu Qing was assigned to Yangzhou as an official, but the Zheng family did not mind. They arranged the marriage for her before she took up her post. Although the time was tight, the marriage was arranged successfully.
Lu Yiling saw the newlywed Zheng Xiuxiu off to board the cruise ship to Yangzhou. Reluctantly, she held her hand and said, "Xiuxiu, remember to write to me, and please take good care of my nanny."
Zheng Xiuxiu smiled faintly and replied, "Okay."
After Lu Yiling waved goodbye to Zheng Xiuxiu and Chu Qing, she returned home feeling very depressed. She was much more sensible than before and no longer as childish as before.
It is the second day of the second month again, and the Flower God Parade is still as lively as ever this year. However, Qi Yuning couldn't miss the excitement. On the second day of the second month, she gave birth to a daughter as she wished.
Lu Yiling had been longing for a younger sister for a long time, and finally got her wish. However, Lu Zhixiu felt a little disappointed, as he actually wanted a younger brother.
Unfortunately, this pregnancy tortured Qi Yuning so much that she absolutely did not want to have another child. It was destined that Lu Zhixiu would not be able to fulfill his wish.
Lu Yiling lay on the small wooden bed, looking at her soft and tender little sister, and said with a smile: "Mother, what name did you give your sister?"
Qi Yuning said, "Come and get it."
Lu Yiling said, "Lu Yile is good, she has been able to laugh since she was born."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Okay, Yile, Yile, a lifetime of joy, what a good name. From now on, my sister will be called Lu Yile."
After having Lu Yile, Lu Yiling became much more sensible than before. She did everything for her sister herself. Even when Qi Yuning and Lu Ze wanted to hold their little daughter, Lu Yiling had the final say.
Lu Yile moved into Yuemiyuan a hundred days after he left.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were reluctant but had no choice but to follow Lu Yiling's wishes. After all, they were afraid that Lu Yiling would think that her parents disliked her after she had a younger sister.
…
In the fifteenth year of Kangping, the summer was scorching.
Lu Yiling is nearly fifteen years old. Although she still has two months to go before she reaches the age of marriage, many people who come to act as a matchmaker for Lingling have already stepped foot on the threshold of the princess's mansion.
Qi Yuning looked at the men who came to propose marriage and was not satisfied with any of them. She felt that no matter what kind of husband her Lingling chose, it would be unfair to her.
By the Xingyue Lake, Lu Baozhu took her daughter and son back to her parents' old home to escape the summer heat. She looked at Qi Yuning's picky expression and said, "Be careful not to be too picky. When I was about to reach marriage, my mother was the same way. She didn't like any man, and then I didn't get married until I was in my twenties. You can't let Lingling follow in my footsteps."
Qi Yuning said, "She can't just get married casually. Lingling is just about to reach marriage age, and I can't bear to see her get married so soon."
Lu Baozhu looked at the lake and ate longan and said, "Why not let Lingling marry my son? Cousins would be great."
Qi Yuning looked at the six-year-old boy standing beside him and said, "Lingling is nine years older than him! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Baozhu said, "A girl three years older than her husband is a gold brick. A nine-year age difference means three big gold bricks."
Qi Yuning: "..."
"Mother, Aunt."
Qi Yuning turned around and saw a girl in a green dress coming towards her. The girl, who was about to reach marriage age, had a very beautiful face, with eyebrows as dark as spring mountains and eyes as clear as autumn water. The girl had fair skin and bright eyes, which was very beautiful.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yiling with eyes full of love. Her daughter Lingling was so outstanding, she really couldn't just find a husband to marry Lu Yiling.
"Sister." Xiao Yile saw Lu Yiling coming and let Lu Yiling hug her.
Lu Yiling picked up little Yile and said to Qi Yuning, "Mother, I received a letter from my cousin today. He said he was coming back."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "It's time to come back. Your aunt is worried about you every day."
Lu Yiling whispered, "My cousin said he came back to propose marriage, I...I..."
Now Lu Yiling regrets her childhood self so much. She was ignorant at that time and had no idea how many people she had engaged with.
So now everyone comes to propose marriage, it’s easy to deal with other men, but it’s really difficult to deal with Qi Zhiyuan.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yiling and said, "Do you want to marry your cousin?"
"Of course I don't want to. He looks 70% like me, and I don't want to marry him. But he insisted on bringing up the vow we made when we were kids..."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. He can't marry you unless mother allows it."
Lu Baozhu said, "Speaking of which, it's time for Brother Yuan to get married. Should Brother Han's marriage also be on the agenda?"
Qi Yuning said: "Well, Shen Nian has now been seen by the matchmaker."
Lu Baozhu waved her round fan and said, "I'm getting old. In the blink of an eye, I'm going to be a great-aunt."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly. It was true that after Lingling came of age, she would not be able to stay for a few more years. It would not be long before she could have grandchildren.
Lu Baozhu continued, "Oh right, how come there's been no prince born in the palace for so many years? And His Majesty has been ruling the country for so many years, but why is there only one Princess Shiyi?"
His Majesty was not familiar with his cousin Lu Baozhu, but the harem had been childless, and even she, a princess who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun with silk and satin, knew about it, and the royal side branches also became anxious.
Lu Baozhu asked Qi Yuning in a low voice, "Is it possible that Your Majesty is infertile?"
