Chapter 312 Sister Chi, You Can't Abandon the Baby in Your Belly
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, a heavy snow fell in Shengjing City.
In Yuemi Courtyard, Lu Yiling, dressed warmly, was playing with Chu Che in making a snowman.
When Zhao Jie sent Chu Chi into Yue Mi Courtyard, he saw Ling Ling's red face from the cold, and said softly with concern: "Ling Ling, be careful not to catch a cold if you play in the snow like this."
Lu Yiling held some snow and piled it on the snowman, saying, "I'm not that weak. I'm not Brother Han, a sick beauty who falls down when the wind blows."
Zhao Jie coughed, and Lu Yiling saw Lu Han at the gate of the courtyard, "Brother Han, I...I'm not saying bad things about you behind your back."
Lu Han smiled at Lu Yiling and said, "It's okay. Today is the Little New Year. My mother asked me to bring you some rice cakes. This is what people in the Jiangnan area eat during the New Year."
"Rice cake?" Lu Yiling's eyes lit up. "I love rice cake the most. Thank you, auntie. Chu Che, I'm going to eat rice cake first. You go play with your big sister."
Zhao Jie escorted Chu Chi into Ye Li's house.
Zhao Jie said to Chu Chi: "Take good care of yourself and the children. I will come to pick you up after the Chinese New Year."
After Chu Che and Ye Li heard what Zhao Jie said, they looked at Chu Chi in shock and happiness.
Ye Li supported Chu Chi and said, "Chi'er, you..."
Chu Chi smiled faintly and touched his belly and said, "Mom, I'm not sure yet. We can't be too happy about this matter too soon."
Zhao Jie looked at Ye Li and said, "I've always heard Lingling praise Auntie Ye's mung bean soup as the best in the world. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to have some today?"
Ye Lilian said: "Okay, okay, Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will make mung bean soup right away."
Zhao Jie looked at Chu Chi holding Chu Che's hand to keep him warm, and said softly: "I'll go see Lingling first."
"good."
Ye Li was about to go to the kitchen, but was taken to Lu Yiling's study by two palace eunuchs.
Soon, Ye Li saw Zhao Jie coming, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Jie said, "Aunt Ye, please take a seat. I am here to see you today because of Chu Chi. I want Chu Chi to be my queen, but Chu Chi's background is not tolerated by the royal family. I want Chu Chi to return to the Chu family. If Chu Chi is Chu Yan's daughter, the embarrassment of her identity can be resolved."
Ye Li bowed his head and said, "Everything is subject to your majesty's orders, but Chu Yan does not want to recognize Chi Er..."
"I heard from Ah Chi that her father doted on her when she was young." Zhao Jie said, "I don't think Chu Yan is so heartless. The reason why he can't recognize Chu Chi now is that Chu Chi's biological mother is of low status. I heard that Madam Ning has already thought about recognizing Chu Che as her son. Since Madam Ning can recognize Chu Che, I think she can also recognize Ah Chi."
Ye Li's hands were shaking violently, and when she lowered her head, tears were in her eyes.
"Aunt Ye, you are Ah Chi's biological mother and this will never change, but for Ah Chi's future, I have to put you in a difficult position for the time being."
Zhao Jie said to Ye Li, "If I ask Ah Chi to recognize Madam Ning as her mother, I think Ah Chi will definitely not agree, so I came to you without telling Ah Chi, and I hope you don't tell Ah Chi about this."
Ye Li forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll make you some mung bean soup right away."
"No need, I have to go."
After Zhao Jie finished speaking, he left. When he opened the study door, he saw Lu Yiling eavesdropping outside.
Lu Yiling looked up at Zhao Jie and said, "Uncle, Lingling hates you! You can't bully the nanny. Chu Che and Sister Chi will never be able to go back to the Chu family!"
Zhao Jie Lian covered Lu Yiling's mouth and dragged her back to the study. "Lingling, A Chi is pregnant. I don't want to let A Chi's biological mother be wronged, but she is pregnant. You don't want me to be forced to marry someone else when your sister Chi is pregnant, right?"
Lu Yiling pulled Zhao Jie's hands away and cried, "But this is so unfair to the nurse. You are bullying the nurse. Woo woo woo, you bad guy!"
Zhao Jie sighed helplessly and said, "When Ah Chi becomes the queen, she will naturally be filial to your wet nurse."
Lu Yiling choked up and said, "I'm just young, I'm not stupid. After you let Sister Chi recognize Ning as her mother, the wet nurse is no longer Sister Chi's mother. Sister Chi won't agree. Even if Sister Chi agrees, I won't let Chu Che return to the Chu family. Uncle, you can't bully my wet nurse together with that bastard Chu Yan."
"What?"
Chu Chi entered from the study.
Chu Chi was still worried about Ye Li cooking mung bean porridge alone when she was sick. She also remembered that Zhao Jie was not a sweets lover, while Lingling loved sweets. Chu Chi was afraid that Ye Li would cook it too sweet. She went to the kitchen but did not see Ye Li. She then realized that Zhao Jie had called Ye Li to the study.
But then she heard Lu Yiling's words, "Lingling, who do you want to recognize as your mother?"
Lu Yiling walked up to Chu Chi and said, "Sister Chi, don't marry my uncle. He is not a good person if he bullies our nurse."
Zhao Jie frowned and growled, "Lu Yiling!"
This was the first time that Zhao Jie got angry at Lu Yiling and called her by her full name since she became conscious.
Lu Yiling hid behind Chu Chi.
Chu Chi said to Zhao Jie: "Your Majesty, there is no need to blame the little princess. What the little princess said is very right. I will not let my mother suffer any injustice."
Chu Chi held Ye Li's hand tightly, looked at Zhao Jie with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't ask for the position of queen, but I need my mother. I will never recognize someone else as my mother. I only have one mother."
Ye Li said to Chu Chi: "Chi'er, don't disobey His Majesty's order. Be good."
Chu Chi hugged Ye Li and said, "Even if you disobey my order and are beheaded, I will not give up on you."
Lu Yiling whispered at the side: "I will accompany you to resist the order!"
Chu Chi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Zhao Jie and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace."
Zhao Jie saw the disappointment in Chu Chi's eyes and said, "Achi..."
Chu Chi only helped Ye Li back to Ye Li's room. Seeing Ye Li's pale face, Chu Chi burst into tears and said, "Mom, it's all my fault."
Ye Li touched Chu Chi's head and said, "In fact, your majesty is right. Chi'er, you are your father's first daughter after all. He loved you very much when you were young. I believe that since he is willing to recognize Che'er, he will definitely be willing to recognize you. Mother cannot hinder your future, especially now that you already have a child."
Ye Li placed her hand on Chu Chi's belly. "If it's a little princess, it's fine. But if it's a prince, as the first prince he is not born by the Empress... So I'll listen to His Majesty. Mother will go find Chu Yan tomorrow."
"No, I won't listen to your Majesty, mother. No one can compare to you now, whether it's your Majesty or the child in my belly!"
Chu Chi held Ye Li's hand tightly and said, "I would rather give up the baby in my belly than give up you."
Lu Yiling was full of worry when she heard this: "Sister Chi, you can't abandon the fetus in your belly. I have been looking forward to having a little sister for a long time."
…
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, a banquet was held in the princess's mansion for the family to reunite. Qi Yu'an and Zhao Shu also came to the banquet with their two children.
Qi Yuning waited for a long time but Lingling didn't show up, so he asked Cui Liu to call Lingling.
Cui Liu came back and reported: "Princess, the little princess said that she will have dinner with her nurse and others today, so she will not come here to eat."
Qi Yuning savoured the taste: "Wet nurse, wet nurse, wet nurse is much better than my biological mother. If I had known, I would not have found a wet nurse for Lingling."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and chuckled, "There's no need to be jealous. When Lingling has a mother-in-law in the future, won't you be even more jealous?"
Qi Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That won't happen. Although Lingling likes my mother, she is still not as good as my aunt in Lingling's eyes, so my aunt doesn't have to worry that Lingling will like my mother-in-law more in the future."
"Brother Yuan, I didn't say I wanted to marry Lingling to you."
Qi Yuning looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a faint smile. Originally, cousins would be a suitable match, but Qi Zhiyuan was still Lu Ze's biological cousin. Lingling could never marry Qi Zhiyuan again.
Qi Zhiyuan said: "Lingling has agreed to marry me."
Lu Han whispered: "No."
"Yes!" Qi Zhiyuan looked at Lu Han and retorted.
