Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Chen Nian did something wrong before, but this time I believe that whether she asked to leave or go back to her parents' home, she did it sincerely for Lu Yun's safety.
I know you are worried about your brother, but Shen Nian really has no bad intentions this time. Everything will have to wait until Lu Yun wakes up."
Lu Yun has been unconscious, and Qi Yuning feels that hunting is meaningless.
In a few days they will set off for Shengjing, and this hunting trip in Chang'an made Qi Yuning feel quite uninterested.
Ali's eldest daughter Chu Chi said that she had never seen the hustle and bustle of Chang'an City. Her brother Chu Qing mentioned it to Zhao Jie, and Zhao Jie became interested in following Chu Qing and Chu Chi to go incognito to stroll around Chang'an City.
Zhao Jie traveled incognito, and Lu Ze and Qi Yuning accompanied him. Seeing that Lingling loved to be lively, Qi Yuning also brought Lingling along.
This time, Ali also brought along little Chuche, who was only a month older than Lingling and could already walk.
Qi Yuning was amazed when she saw little Chu Che who could walk. "He can walk at such a young age. Our Ling Ling doesn't dare to walk even without someone's support. Little Chu Che is really smart."
Lingling was babbling something, and after Chu Che heard what Lingling said, he didn't leave and just hugged Ali's thigh.
When A Li picked up Chu Che, Ling Ling started to make a fuss in Qi Yuning's arms, stretching out her hands and shouting to A Li, "Girl, milk."
Ali had no choice but to put Chu Che down and picked up Lingling. Lingling laughed in Ali's arms.
Qi Yuning felt very sorry for little Chu Che lying on the ground. The little child lost his father when he was born, and Lingling wanted to snatch his mother from him, so she picked up Chu Che.
When Lingling saw Qi Yuning holding Chu Che, she started to make a fuss and asked Qi Yuning to hold her.
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Just now you asked the nanny to hold your brother. You can't stop the nanny and mother from holding your brother, right?"
Lingling blinked and pointed at Lu Ze, signaling Lu Ze to hug Chu Che.
Lu Ze hugged Chu Che, and Lingling smiled with satisfaction.
Qi Yuning nodded her little head: "Don't bully your brother like this."
Lingling babbled as if in rebuttal.
Ah Li looked at Lingling and smiled, "This little Princess Lingling is very smart. She is only nine months old and already very clever. Most babies are dull, and my Ah Che is dull. The little Princess is just like Lingling."
Chu Che was in Lu Ze's arms, feeling a little shy but more dependent, with his head on Lu Ze's shoulder.
Qi Yuning said: "I think A Che is also very smart. I liked this child from the first day he was born."
Lu Ze looked at Chu Che in his arms and said, "This child is indeed good-looking. I wonder how handsome his father must be."
Ali's appearance can only be considered above average, but her children all have outstanding looks, none of which resemble her. I guess they inherited their father's appearance.
Qi Yuning said: "Not much different from you."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "I thought you would say second only to me."
Zhao Jie looked at Chu Che in Lu Ze's arms with envy, "Brother Ache wants a daddy, so Lingling let cousin hold brother Ache."
Qi Yuning originally thought that Lingling was jealous of the nanny and she holding Chu Che, so she let Lu Ze hold Chu Che. But after hearing what Zhao Jie said, she realized what little Lingling meant.
Qi Yuning walked up and kissed Lingling on the face several times, "Lingling is awesome."
It was the first time for the children to see the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, and it was the first time for Zhao Jie to see a camel and all kinds of rare things.
Even though Zhao Jie is already the emperor, Lu Ze and Qi Yuning did not force him too much to learn some rules. The rules can be learned slowly, and he can have fun when it is time to play. After all, he was locked up in the imperial mausoleum for three years since he was a child, and it is rare that he is becoming more and more cheerful now.
As the oldest among the children, Chu Chi fulfilled her responsibilities as an older sister and took care of her younger siblings and Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie stopped in front of a small mechanical carriage made by a carpenter and watched the stall owner playing with the carriage.
Chu Chi saw a figure coming down from a sedan chair outside the inn next door: "Daddy! Daddy!"
Chu Chilian walked outside the inn and shouted to the young man in brocade clothes who got off the sedan chair, "Daddy!"
Outside the inn, several servants stepped forward to stop Chu Chi, "Where did you come from, you little girl, to dare to call us Fifth Master!"
"Dad, I'm Xiaochi..."
Master Chu Wu looked back at the little girl who was about ten years old standing at the door of the inn and frowned slightly.
Qi Yuning saw what Chu Chi was doing and came over with A Li.
Ah Li asked Chu Chi: "What's wrong?"
"Mom, I saw Daddy! Daddy is not dead!"
Ali looked in the direction Chu Chi was pointing, and saw a man inside dressed in rich clothes and wearing a jade crown. She was stunned for a moment. The man in front of her was her husband, but not her husband. Her husband would not have this kind of disgust, nor would he have this kind of condescending attitude.
"Chi'er, you've made a mistake. This is not your father. Your father is dead."
"Daddy has a red mole between his eyebrows, and he has one too, so he is Daddy!"
Qi Yuning had only met Chu Chi's biological father once and could not recognize him, but when she looked at the man in front of her, she knew that he was definitely not the young head of her farm.
The man's disdainful gaze shifted away from Chu Chi and turned to look at Qi Yuning, with a hint of respect, "Regent Princess."
Qi Yuning asked: "Do you know me?"
Master Chu Wu said, "I don't know you, but I know the pearl on your head. This year, there is only one purple pearl in the East China Sea. I wanted to give it to my mother as a birthday gift, but later I heard that it was taken away by the Qi family because the princess of the Qi family loves pearls."
Qi Yuning touched the purple beads on her hair.
Lu Ze came over when he saw the commotion, looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Yu Ning, who is this?"
Master Chu Wu bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am the new head of the Chu family, Chu Yan."
Lu Ze said: "It turns out that he is Miss Zhou Er's fiancé."
Chu Yan said: "Not anymore."
Qi Yuning was stunned.
Chu Yan looked at the baby in Lu Ze's arms, his eyes narrowed slightly, because the baby in Lu Ze's arms looked very much like him, "Is this child the prince's?"
Lu Ze said: "He is the son of my daughter's wet nurse."
Chu Yan said: "So that's how it is."
Qi Yuning saw that A Li's eyes were fixed on Chu Yan, and she covered Chu Chi's mouth tightly with her hands. She didn't stay here for long and didn't exchange pleasantries with the head of the Chu family.
After leaving the inn, Chu Chi looked at A Li with tears in his eyes and said, "That's obviously Daddy!"
"He is not your father, your father is dead!" Ali said to Chu Chi angrily for the first time.
"He is my daddy. I want to find my daddy. My daddy loves me the most. I want my daddy!"
Seeing Chu Chi crying, Ah Li raised her hand and slapped Chu Chi on the face, "Chi'er, you are the elder sister, how can you act like a fool like your ignorant brother?"
"Ali!" Qi Yuning said unhappily, "Chi'er has always been sensible. She just misses her father. Tell her that this is the head of the Chu family, not her father. Why did you hit her?"
Ali put his hands aside.
Chu Chi knelt down in front of Qi Yuning and said, "Princess, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please don't scold my mother. It's all my fault."
Seeing Chu Chi's appearance, Qi Yuning sighed softly: "I don't blame your mother, get up, you are a good child."
Zhao Jie heard Chu Chi crying, and took out a small dough figurine he had just bought and handed it to Chu Chi, saying, "Don't cry, this dough figurine is for you."
Chu Chi took the small noodle figurine handed over by Zhao Jie and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lingling raised her fist in Chunfen's arms and babbled. Qi Yuning was reminded of Lingling when she was three years old. If Lingling was three years old, she would definitely say that she would beat anyone who bullied her sister.
Qi Yuning felt sorry for Chu Chi and said to A Li, "Even adults like the head of the Chu family would admit their mistakes, let alone a child. You shouldn't be so harsh on Chi'er.
I like Chi Er very much. I want her to be a female official in the Shang Gong Bureau. Now the Shang Gong Bureau is recruiting new palace maids. With Chi Er's intelligence and my help, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself in the Shang Gong Bureau."
Zhao Jie said happily: "Sister Princess, if Sister Chi joins the Shang Palace Bureau, can she stay in the palace forever?"
Qi Yuning nodded slightly and said, "Yes, being a female official in the Shang Palace Bureau will enable Chi Er to find a better family when she gets married in the future."
Nowadays, female officials in the palace can get married when they reach a certain age, and after getting married, they can still work in the Shanggong Bureau during the day. Now that the young emperor has ascended the throne, it is time for a major change in the Shanggong Bureau.
Qi Yuning also had a selfish motive. In the future, Empress Dowager Zhou could no longer be relied upon in Zhao Jie's harem. Qi Yuning wanted to have a reliable female official who could assist the future empress.
Chu Chi is intelligent, studious, sensible and well-behaved, making her the perfect candidate to be a female official in the Shanggong Bureau who will assist the Empress in the future.
Ali knelt down hurriedly to express her gratitude. Chu Chi was now ten years old. Although she still had another five years to go before she reached the age of marriageable age, the time would pass quickly. Although she was a servant in the palace and now the wet nurse of the little princess, she was still a servant in the end.
She couldn't let Chu Chi find a good husband to marry in the future. At most, she could let Chu Chi marry a village head like herself.
If Chu Chi becomes a female official in the Shanggong Bureau in the future, it will be of great benefit to her marriage.
Chu Chi blushed and said, "Princess, I am still young, and I don't want to get married or not."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Then are you willing to enter the palace and be a female official?"
Chu Chi just looked at Qi Yuning and said, "If the princess lets me enter the palace, I will enter the palace."
Qi Yuning said, "Okay, when we return to Shengjing, I will talk to the Shang Gong and ask him to let you join the Shang Gong Bureau."
