Lu Yiling let Chu Che put on her shoes and socks, walked up to Qi Yuning and said, "Mother." ”

Qi Yuning pulled Lu Yiling and said, "Do you know the difference between men and women?" Chu Che is a man, how can you let him touch your feet? ”

Lu Yiling said: "Chu Che has served me since he was a child, and I don't treat him as an outsider." ”

"But he is an outsider after all, and he is still the current uncle, how can you let the current uncle wash your feet?"

Lu Yiling said: "I know, mother, I won't let Chu Che wash my feet in the future, are you leaving?" ”

Qi Yuning nodded and said: "It's not early, it's time to go, you remember to come back often, you really can't stay here, so come back as soon as possible, you know?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Yiling nodded and said, "Mother, goodbye, take good care of my sister for me." ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Okay." ”

"Daddy!" Lu Yiling shouted when he saw a man in a purple robe coming from Shimoda.

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You're here too?" ”

"I can't wait for you to come back and come and have a look, and by the way, I also came to see the teacher, he can accept Lingling as an apprentice, I really didn't expect it."

Lu Yiling said: "That's because I have the qualifications to be your junior sister." ”

Lu Ze smiled lightly: "The teacher is old, you can't make him angry like at home." ”

"I'm the most well-behaved, where will I make him angry!"

Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, let's go." ”

"Goodbye, daddy, mom and daddy."

Under the sunset, Lu Yiling waved to his father and mother, watching them go away.

Lu Yiling looked at Chu Che and said, "I'm so tired, I can't go back, you can carry me." ”

Chu Che squatted down and let Lu Yiling lie on his back and said, "Okay." ”

Lu Yiling got on Chu Che's back, under the sunset, the girl leaned on the young man's back and closed her eyes and fell asleep, Chu Che sent Lu Yiling back to the room, looking at her quiet sleeping face, only to feel a heart beating fast.

Chu Che patted his face and said, "Chu Che, don't think about it!" ”

……

In September, Qi Yuning received rice and grain from Lingling's order, and sent one to the palace, but Lingling didn't even come back for his birthday.

In the spring of the following year, Qi Zhiyuan and Chu Xiaoxiao got married, and Lu Yiling and Chu Che went to Shuzhou to visit friends with Fang Daru, who was already in his eighties, but they never came.

It wasn't until the winter that Lu Yiling and Chu Che, who were seventeen years old, returned from Jiangnan.

Qi Yuning looked at the returning Lu Yiling's figure much taller than before, and said reluctantly: "Don't leave when you come back this time, your grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, she has been worried about you this year, and you are also seventeen, even if your mother is reluctant to let you go, your family affairs have to be put on the agenda." ”

Lu Yiling smiled lightly: "Well, I won't leave when I come back this time, Chu Che will participate in the Spring Festival in two months, and if he can enter the Yamen of Dali Temple at that time, I can get married." ”

Qi Yuning said: "Chu Che can't enter the yamen of Dali Temple, what does it have to do with whether you marry or not?" ”

Lu Yiling said: "The little uncle didn't allow me to enter Dali Temple, he was very stingy, and he was only willing to give me an inconsequential idle job."

If Chu Che can enter Dali Temple, then I can use him to take power, and I can choose others to marry.

If Chu Che can't enter Dali Temple, then I will find a husband who works in Dali Temple to marry. ”

Qi Yuning: "...... Marriage is a big event, how can you be so childish? ”

"There is no child's play, I don't like the men in this world, there are few men in this world who are like the men of our Lu family who are wholeheartedly devoted to their wives and do not accept concubines, and more are like little uncles, who keep saying that they are affectionate, in fact, Yingying Yanyan Concubine has never been cut off by Langjun.

It is extremely difficult to find a husband who can be a couple for the rest of his life, but it is better to find a husband who I can control him to meddle in the power of the court. ”

Qi Yuning said: "Lingling, my mother still hopes that you can find Lang Jun, whom you really love, are you still thinking about your brother Han?" ”

"No, he's just my brother, I don't like him for a long time, I just want to do things for the court now, seek well-being for the people of the world, punish evil and promote good, as for who to marry, it's casual."

Lu Yiling said, "When I knew that my little uncle was going to be drafted in the spring, I no longer believed in the deep affection that this man in the world said. ”

Qi Yuning said: "But your father is quite affectionate......"

"He is also because of the Lu family's ancestral training, without the Lu family's ancestral training that no concubines are allowed, he may have countless warblers and Yanyan long ago, and the husband is irrelevant to me."

Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "You misunderstand your father." ”

Lu Ze entered and said, "Why did you misunderstand me?" ”

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Lingling said that if there is no ancestral training, you will have countless concubines and Yingying Yanyan?" ”

Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "Don't listen to Lingling's nonsense, Lingling, you are also seventeen, how can you sow discord as soon as you come back?" ”

Lu Yiling smiled and said: "Daddy is an exception, but there are more affectionate and flowery gentlemen like little uncles in the world, so I'll go back and rest first." ”

Qi Yuning saw the back of Lu Yiling, and pressed his temples with a headache, "This kid is really, he just wants to enter the court, and he even wants to use the marriage ......"

Lu Ze listened to Qi Yuning say Lingling's thoughts, and said: "There is fate in the world, so don't worry too much about her marriage." ”

"Alas!" Qi Yuning sighed and said, "I heard that something happened to the Queen Mother in the palace?" ”

Lu Ze said: "The Queen Mother fainted before, her life was hanging by a thread, but she has woken up in the past two days, I see that the Queen Mother's serious illness this time is to let Her Majesty draft as soon as possible, and the harem can give birth to a dragon son, the actual illness is not serious, after all, Your Majesty has been in power for seven years, and there is only Princess Shiyi under her knees, no wonder the Queen Mother is anxious." ”

Qi Yuning said: "It won't really be Your Majesty, right?" ”

Lu Ze said: "Your Majesty's health is fine, he feels that the queen has never given birth to a child, and he doesn't want other concubines to become pregnant, and in the past few years, he has only been to other concubines' palaces a handful of times."

Now that it's a draft, I'm afraid it's useless, I can only let Your Majesty dispel the idea of letting the queen conceive a dragon son first, Your Majesty has often gone to Fengyi Palace over the years, but there is no good news......"

Qi Yuning sighed again and said: "Originally, if that child was still there, now he has to go to Mengxue, I really feel ashamed of Chu Chi, I should not have let her enter the palace." ”

Lu Ze said: "How could you know at that time that now, you don't have to feel guilty because of this." ”

As soon as the year passed, the court was busy with two things, one was the draft, and the other was the spring festival.

Chu Che participated in this year's spring, and Chu Chi also paid more attention to it rarely, and she was a little absent-minded about the most important draft in the palace, so she simply left the draft matter to the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian.

Chu Chi just gave Chu Che the clothes to wear in the examination room, the temperature fluctuated very much in this spring, she would sweat when it was hot during the day, and shivering cold at night, she needed to make a few more things that were easy to put on and take off.

Zhao Jie entered the Fengyi Palace, and saw Chu Chi sewing the man's clothes, he picked it up and said, "Isn't this color too plain for me?" ”

Chu Chi said: "Your Majesty, you want new clothes to be made for your sister who came in the new draft, this is what I made for Che'er, it will be spring in two days, I have to make clothes for him, Your Majesty will go to find other sisters in these two days." ”

Zhao Jie frowned and said, "Chu Chi! ”

Chu Chi looked down at the clothes in her hand, her needlework was practiced in the Shang Palace Bureau, sewing stitch by stitch, and she didn't look at Zhao Jie.

Zhao Jie said: "The draft is not my intention, it is the queen mother who is anxious to hold the emperor and grandson, I still won't let them get pregnant, my first prince can only be born by you, as long as you give birth to the emperor, I will make him the crown prince." ”

Chu Chi smiled sarcastically: "Your Majesty, it has been difficult for the concubine to get pregnant all these years, and no matter how much medicine she takes, it will be useless, Your Majesty should find another sister to have a child, as long as it is Your Majesty's child, it is the concubine's child." ”

Zhao Jie took a deep breath and said, "Let's try for another year." ”

Chu Chi said: "It's useless to try again. ”

Zhao Jie said: "The imperial doctors all said that your pulse is the same, and you can give birth to children...... Let's try again, Brother Che is in the spring of this year, if he is on the list, I will give him a great future. ”

"He wants to enter the yamen of Dali Temple."

Zhao Jie said: "Does he want to enter or Lingling wants to enter?" ”

Chu Chi said lightly: "Lingling wants to enter, that is, my younger brother wants to enter." ”

"He has listened to Lingling's words since he was a child, and he is seventeen years old, and when he marries his wife in the future, he will listen to Lingling's words like this, and his wife will be jealous, and the two of them have been in and out together for the past two years, and they will marry each other in the future, where can their husbands and wives stand them like this, I look at it, it is better to give them two marriages."

Chu Chi said: "Your Majesty, don't, if the two of them get married, won't this generation be a complete mess?" ”

Zhao Jie smiled and said, "It's the same." ”
