Lu Yiling smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have a sister."
Chu Che said, "Didn't you say your parents had a daughter before they got married? Shouldn't you have a sister who is practicing with Taoist He?"
Lu Yiling shook her head and said, "That's not my sister, that's me."
Chu Che asked in confusion: "What?"
Lu Yiling stepped out of Chu Che's embrace and reached out to hold the jade pendant around Chu Che's neck. "You and I are going to be husband and wife. I think I should tell you this. Actually, when I was three years old, I went back to the past."
When she was a child, Lu Yiling didn’t understand. As she grew up, she realized that her memories when she was three years old were unrealistic.
For example, it is impossible for her to have ever seen Emperor Shi Yuan. When he was born, Emperor Shi Yuan was already gone.
She also met her little uncle when she was four years old and saw her parents get married. All these things that impressed her deeply were actually not memories she should have had. Later, when she asked her parents, she found out that she had indeed returned to the past when she was three years old.
Lu Yiling still finds this bizarre and strange thing very mysterious.
"What do you mean?" Chu Che was puzzled. This was too magical for him.
Lu Yiling smiled and said, "When I was three years old, I went back to a time when I didn't exist. I was born in the year of Kangping, but I did go back to the end of the Shiyuan period and I met the Shiyuan Emperor."
Chu Che was filled with amazement. "How could this be possible? How could a person go back to the past?"
Lu Yiling touched Chu Che's jade pendant and said, "I'm also very curious. Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid that I'm a monster and not an ordinary person?"
Chu Che hugged Lu Yiling tightly and said, "Of course I'm not afraid, but will you go back?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Lu Yiling smiled faintly. "Now I don't regret every moment of the past. No, there are some things I regret, and that's our marriage..."
"Hmm?" Chu Che was stunned.
Lu Yiling said, "It's too late to regret now."
…
Lu Yiling was getting married, and Qi Yuning was reluctant but had no choice but to arrange her wedding with all her heart. Qi Yuning seldom sewed clothes by herself, but she still sewed a golden lotus pendant for Lu Yiling's wedding dress.
Seeing Qi Yuning sewing Lu Yiling's wedding dress, Lu Ze said, "I just remembered that you still owe me a piece of clothing!"
Qi Yuning said, "Let's talk about it after Lingling's wedding is over."
Lu Ze said, "Why not sew some clothes now so I can wear them when Lingling gets married?"
Qi Yuning thought for a moment and said, "That won't do. Lingling's wedding cannot have any flaws. You should wait until Lingling returns home after three days, and then you can wear the clothes I made."
"Okay." Lu Ze smiled.
In June, Lu Ze fell seriously ill. Although Lu Ze was nearly forty years old, he had always been in good health. This serious illness made Qi Yuning very worried, and the imperial physician also said that it was due to overwork.
Lu Ze had been in the imperial court for twenty years. Although he held great power, he was also overwhelmed by official duties. Qi Yuning was extremely worried. "Lu Ze, why don't you take this opportunity to resign from your current position to His Majesty and ask for a less busy position? Lingling is getting married soon, but Yile is still young, only eight years old, and cannot live without a father. And Zhixiu hasn't started a family yet. You can't abandon us mother and son."
Lu Ze coughed a few times and said, "It's just a cold, don't worry."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze from his embrace and said, "How can I not be worried? Now that Zhao Jie is in control of the government, we should leave the court to the next generation. You can just relax and enjoy some peace and stability."
Lu Ze smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I'll ask His Majesty to have some free time."
Talented people emerge in every generation. Chu Che was able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination when he was just a teenager. Qi Zhiyuan has also entered the court as a general. Lu Yang and Lu Xing have also served in the Shengjing Guard. Now the younger generations of both the Qi and Lu families are very outstanding.
Lu Ze thought that he should indeed take some time out to accompany Qi Yuning and spend more time with his daughter who was still a child.
At the end of June, Lu Ze finally recovered. There was also a big happy event in the court. The queen gave birth to a baby boy, named Zhao Ling, and made him the crown prince.
On August 20th, two days before Lu Yiling's wedding, Lu Yiling tried on her wedding dress for the last time.
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yiling in her wedding dress, and suddenly she remembered herself more than 20 years ago. At that time, she was not necessarily happy about marrying Lu Yun. When she heard that Lu Yun had become a monk, although she was angry, she was also relieved.
"Mother, what are you thinking about?"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "I was wondering what would have happened if your uncle hadn't run away from the marriage."
Lu Yiling said, "Then you won't have a daughter as caring as me. You will only have those two annoying people, Lu Yang and Lu Xing."
"Sister, we brought you some makeup, and you said that about us behind our backs!" Lu Yang and Lu Xing, who looked exactly like each other, entered Lu Yiling's room.
Lu Yiling smiled and said, "Just the gift is here."
"Lingling!" Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yang and Lu Xing who were coming, followed by Lu Han and his wife Mo Ke, and chuckled, "Come in quickly."
When Lu Han saw Lu Yiling in her red wedding dress, he praised her frankly, "Sister, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress."
Lu Yiling said, "I'm still beautiful even without my wedding dress."
Lu Yun and Chen Nian arrived later. Lu Yun gave Lu Yiling a set of eighteen weapons, each of which was made by the most famous ironsmith of the dynasty.
Qi Yuning saw the eighteen weapons and glared at Lu Yun, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yun said, "My eldest niece must not be treated unfairly when she gets married. If her husband runs away to become a monk or something like that in the future, she can take these eighteen weapons and seek revenge."
