In the newly built Yue Mi Courtyard beside Xingyue Lake, Ling Ling, who had just woken up, rubbed her eyes and rubbed her head on Ye Li's shoulder, "Nurse."
Ye Li chuckled and patted Lingling on the shoulder, saying, "It's time to get up. It's already morning."
After Lingling stood up, she looked out the window at the young boy practicing martial arts outside and said angrily, "Hongdou, go close the window. I don't want to see Chu Che."
Seeing Lingling was angry, Ye Li hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Lingling."
Lingling pouted and said, "Yesterday was my tenth birthday, and he didn't even know to give me a birthday gift. On his birthday, I even gave him a sword."
Ye Li said: "I will talk to Che'er later and ask him to pick a birthday gift for you."
Lingling raised her head and said, "I don't want the birthday gift that he asked for. I will ignore him for three days."
Ye Li looked at Lingling from the side and laughed secretly in his heart. Lingling often said that she had grown up, but in fact she was still just a child.
Qi Yuning came to Lingling's courtyard early in the morning. Last night was the first day that Lingling left her courtyard and came to live in Yuemi Courtyard. Qi Yuning was very worried and did not sleep well last night.
Qi Yuning walked into Lingling's room and saw that Lingling was unhappy. He said distressedly: "Lingling, what's wrong? Are you not used to living here? Or should we go back to our original room?"
"Mom, Lingling has grown up and needs to sleep alone."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "But I heard that your nanny slept with you last night."
Lingling said: "I can sleep alone today. I don't need a nanny to accompany me. Lingling has grown up."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little head and said, "Okay, Lingling has grown up. Why are you angry so early today?"
Lingling said, "Chu Che didn't give me a birthday present yesterday! My tenth birthday is such an important day, but he actually forgot to prepare a birthday present for me. I clearly prepared a birthday present for him."
Qi Yuning said: "It's Chu Che's fault."
Lingling agreed to ignore Chu Che for three days. Today, she didn't say a word to Chu Che the whole day, and she didn't bring Chu Che with her when she went to the palace.
Zhao Jie saw Ling Ling in Zichen Palace and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Who made you angry so early in the morning?"
Lingling said, "It's Chu Che who is so blind. I gave him a gift on his birthday a month ago. But yesterday was my tenth birthday, and he didn't give me a gift in return. I'm so angry."
Zhao Jie has always been generous to Lingling. "It's just a birthday gift. Don't be angry. Go to my storehouse and pick out something you like. It will be my gift to you on behalf of Chu Che."
"Uncle, you have nothing to do with Chu Che, how could you give him a gift?"
Lingling looked at Chu Qing who was standing aside, pointed at him and said, "If you want to make up for it, let Brother Qing do it."
Chu Qing bowed her head and said, "Yes, Princess, go to Yunyi Pavilion later and pick out something you like. Put it on my account and I will pay you after I leave the palace."
Lingling was considerate and said, "Forget it. It's not easy for you to earn some money. Living with the king is like living with a tiger..."
Zhao Jie glanced at Lingling and said, "I am a tiger? I have loved you in vain all these years."
Lingling laughed and said, "Uncle is the true dragon emperor. I was wrong just now. Uncle, did you tell me to go to the storehouse to choose a gift?"
"Um."
Lingling said happily: "Then I have to pick some that I like. After you marry my aunt, I won't be able to choose as freely as I do now. If I pick one that my aunt likes, you will definitely be reluctant to give it to me."
Zhao Jie nodded Lingling's head and said with a smile: "Even if your little aunt is here, you are still indispensable."
Lingling went to the storeroom and picked out a statue of Guanyin carved from pure white jade.
Zhao Jie didn't know when he had such a white jade Guanyin in his private vault. He smiled and said to Lingling, "You are good at choosing."
Lingling patted the dust off Guanyin and said, "You have left this statue in the storeroom, gathering dust. I must bring Guanyin back home and ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless my mother to give me a sister as soon as possible."
Zhao Jie smiled and said, "I'm afraid the princess won't be willing to have another child. She's already thirty years old. If she wanted to have a child, she would have done it long ago."
Lingling thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I'll leave this statue of Guanyin to you, my uncle. You're going to marry my aunt, so I'll ask Guanyin to bless you to have a child soon. You must give birth to a little sister."
Zhao Jie smiled faintly, but in his heart he was thinking that it would be great if he had a daughter like Chu Chi, "Yeah."
Lingling selected for a long time but couldn't find anything she liked, so Zhao Jie asked Lingling to go to the Shanggong Bureau to choose the fabric herself and ask the Shanggong Bureau to make her a dress to wear at Zhao Jie's wedding.
Lingling went to the clothing bureau. As soon as she entered, she saw the material of the phoenix robe in front of her. The phoenix robe woven with gold thread was shining.
Lingling reached out to touch the fabric of the phoenix robe, "Is this made of real gold and silver?"
Chu Chi nodded and said, "Yes, this piece of cloth was made by more than a hundred embroiderers from the Jiangnan Yunjin Bureau, who worked day and night for three years. There is only one of its kind in the world."
Lingling said: "I must make Xiuxiu the queen. This piece of cloth will definitely make Xiuxiu look very beautiful when she wears it."
Chu Chi couldn't help but smile and said, "Just for this piece of cloth, you let your best sister be the queen?"
"Then my uncle is a good husband worthy of entrusting your life to."
Chu Chi's smile paused when he heard this.
Lingling raised her eyes to look at Chu Chi and said, "Do you think my uncle is not a good husband worthy of entrusting your life to?"
Chu Chi said repeatedly: "Your Majesty is a good husband worthy of entrusting your life to."
Lingling picked out a piece of pomegranate red cloth and said, "This material is festive, Sister Chuchi, please use it to make me a dress. I will wear it when my uncle gets married."
"Okay." Chu Chi agreed.
Lingling whispered in Chu Chi's ear: "When you make the phoenix robe, make it according to Xiuxiu's body shape. If Xiuxiu is the only one who can wear the phoenix robe, maybe the uncle will let Xiuxiu be the aunt."
Chu Chi couldn't help but chuckle, "My little princess, the position of the queen is a matter of great importance in the court. It is not determined by who can wear the phoenix robe. In this case, the embroiderer can just make her own body shape."
Lingling said: "Yeah, I'll leave first."
After Chu Chi sent Lingling away, he looked at the phoenix robe material hanging in the main hall of the Shangfu Bureau. The lifelike golden phoenix was shining brightly. He wondered who would be lucky enough to wear such beautiful, precious and luxurious material.
Chu Chi ordered the young palace maid beside him to take good care of the phoenix robe. If anything happened to the material, the entire Shanggong Bureau could not afford it.
…
After dinner, Lu Yiling returned to Yuemiyuan.
Seeing Chu Che still practicing martial arts, he snorted and went back to his room to sulk.
Hongdou and Ludou tried to make her happy.
Lu Yiling leaned over the window and closed it heavily.
The sky was getting darker, and Ye Li brought warm water to help Lingling wash up. "Lingling, do you really not need me to sleep with you today?"
Lingling nodded her head and said, "Yeah, Lingling has grown up!"
Ye Li chuckled and said, "If you need anything, just ask the maid to call me."
Lingling nodded and said, "Okay."
After Ye Li left, Hongdou and Ludou also left the house. Lingling was alone in the inner room, feeling terrified. It seemed that there were scary things everywhere in the dark night.
But Lu Yiling was strong-willed and she didn’t want her wet nurses Hongdou and Ludou to laugh at her for being timid.
Lu Yiling went to open the window, "Chu Che, are you there?"
"What do you want, little princess?"
Lu Yiling looked at Chu Che outside and lowered her voice and said, "You must stay by my window tonight and don't leave. You can only leave tomorrow morning when everyone else is up."
"good."
Lu Yiling then continued to lie on the bed. Suddenly, she saw fireflies flying all over the room. The fluorescence in the darkness made her no longer afraid of the night.
Lu Yiling stood up and looked towards the window. Chu Che held a firefly in his hand. "This is your tenth birthday gift. Do you like it, little princess?"
Seeing the fireflies flying all over the sky, Lu Yiling smiled and said, "I like it. It really suits my heart. This is the best birthday gift. I like it even more than the Ferghana horse my uncle gave me."
