Qi Yuning was worried that Zheng Xiuxiu would feel it was unfair, but when Zheng Xiuxiu came to propose marriage, she was extremely happy. Isn't it much better to have a younger sister who grew up with her as a sister-in-law?
After exchanging the engagement letters, even though the Imperial Observatory had a few auspicious dates, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze chose August of the following year, which still left a full year and a half.
The reason why Qi Yuning chose such a late date was that she wanted Lu Yiling to stay at home for another year. Secondly, her Lingling's wedding could not be hastily arranged and had to be a grand wedding.
Lu Yiling and Chu Che had no objection to the wedding date. It didn't matter to them whether they got married early or late. And Chu Che was still living in Yuemi Courtyard and hadn't moved out.
Chu Yan bought two large mansions not far from the princess's mansion, one for Chu Qing and Zheng Xiuxiu, and the other for Chu Che and Lu Yiling. Both were in excellent locations and had excellent houses. They were originally courtyards bestowed by the royal family to princes and princesses, and it took more than half a year to renovate them.
In the 19th year of Kangping, good news came in the early spring that the Queen was four months pregnant.
Lu Yiling calculated the date and found that on the day she and Chu Che were to get married, Chu Chi would just be out of confinement and available to attend their wedding.
The spring scenery was beautiful, and Lu Yiling took advantage of her day off to visit the new house with Chu Che.
Lu Yiling entered the new house and saw a bunk bed made of nanmu wood. It was the dowry prepared for her by her grandmother, Princess Pingrou, since she was born. All kinds of furniture in the house were full of love from her family for her.
Lu Yiling sat on the bunk bed. "This is the wooden bed I carved when I was a kid. We used to play there when we were little. Do you remember?"
Chu Che followed Lu Yiling and sat on the bunk bed. "I remember that you insisted on sleeping on it, saying it had a nice scent."
Lu Yiling sniffed it and said, "It doesn't smell that good now."
Chu Che looked at Lu Yiling, took a sip and said, "It's still quite fragrant."
"Um?"
Chu Che moved closer to Lu Yiling and inhaled the faint fragrance coming from her neck. "It smells good."
Lu Yiling was stunned. She looked at Chu Che's lips which were so close to her, pursed her lips lightly and kissed Chu Che's red lips. Chu Che opened his eyes wide, and gradually he took the initiative.
The sky gradually darkened and the new house was dim.
The two people on the nanmu couch had disheveled clothes and were breathing rapidly.
Chu Che restrained Lu Yiling's hands from unbuttoning his clothes and said, "Princess, we can't make a fool of ourselves by getting pregnant before marriage."
Lu Yiling said, "I'll just ask my sister for the contraceptive pills she took."
Chu Che said, "As the saying goes, medicine is poisonous to some extent, so it's better not to take it. The wedding date is coming soon."
Lu Yiling smiled and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have asked my mother to move up the wedding date. However, they also did something like having a daughter before marriage. Even if we really did have a child before marriage, it wouldn't matter given the "example" they set before."
Chu Che smiled faintly, not daring to do so. "Lingling, when we get married, will your sister come back to attend our wedding?"
