Chu Yan smiled and said: "That's because Princess Qi has high vision. If the young prince can become Chu's son-in-law, Chu will be happy." Qi Zhiyuan continued: "I dare not compete with the emperor's cousin for the queen's wife." Chu Yan smiled and said: "It's not the Queen." Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao? Speaking of which, she has reached the age where she wants to talk about marriage, right?" Chu Yan said: "Xiao Xiao has always been timid and too quiet and weak. Marriage is really difficult. If I can get a husband like the young prince, I can rest assured." Qi Yuning said angrily: "Xiao Xiao lost her father when she was two years old. She could only grow up cautiously in Prince Qi's palace. Now that you say she is timid, quiet and weak, you should blame yourself." Chu Yan did not dare to refute. Qi Yuning went to the house prepared by the Chu family for her family. The house was quiet and quiet, and it was a good place to live. Qi Yuning and Xiao Yile took a bath first, and then read Lu Ze's letter. Lu Ze's letter took the land route, and it was a fast-paced letter. Naturally, it reached Yangzhou before they took the water route. There were only four words in Lu Ze's letter: "Come back early." The words were written clearly through the back of the paper, and it was obvious that he was angry.
Qi Yuning ignored him for the time being. It would be okay to let him be angry for a while. …… Lu Yiling went to Zheng Xiuxiu's room to visit her youngest son, held him in her arms and said with a smile, "He looks a bit like Chu Che." Zheng Xiuxiu smiled lightly and said, "They say he looks like his little uncle, but Chu Qing is not happy about it." "Queen." Zheng Xiuxiu saluted repeatedly when she saw Chu Chi coming in from the door. Chu Chi said: "No need to be polite, I'm here to see Brother Shu." Zheng Xiuxiu hugged Brother Shu to greet Chu Chi. Chu Chi looked at Brother Shu with a flash of pain in his eyes. Her baby would have been this big if she hadn't had a miscarriage. Lu Yiling saw the pain in Chu Chi's eyes and asked Zheng Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, is there any interesting place in Yangzhou City? You can take us there to relax." Zheng Xiuxiu said: "The night view along the Huaihe River is very beautiful. After you have rested, let's go for a night tour on the Huaihe River." "Okay." Lu Yiling responded. Lu Yiling took a short rest and went on a cruise in the Huaihe River with Zheng Xiuxiu that night. Qi Yuning did not follow their children to join in the fun, letting Qi Zhiyuan follow and protect Lingling. Zheng Xiuxiu brought Chu Qing with her, and Chu Qing also brought her younger sister Chu Xiaoxiao who never liked to leave the house. On the cruise ship, Qi Zhiyuan saw Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Little mute, it's you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you still remember me?" Chu Xiaoxiao said softly: "Little Prince, I am not a little mute." "Cousin, what are you talking about Xiaoxiao? She is not mute!" Lu Yiling said protecting Chu Xiaoxiao. Qi Zhiyuan said: "She lived in my house when she was a child. She couldn't speak a word for a long time. I thought she was a little mute." Chu Xiaoxiao said shyly and angrily: "Little Prince, I am not mute." Lu Yiling said: "Ignore him, he deserves not to have a wife." Qi Zhiyuan snorted softly, "Isn't it easy for this young prince to find a wife? The head of the Chu family said today that he would like me to be his son-in-law."
Chu Qing listened and frowned: "Little prince, for the sake of my sister-in-law's reputation, please be careful what you say!" Qi Zhiyuan said: "I'm not lying. It was indeed your father who asked me to be his son-in-law. I wonder what his daughter looks like?" Lu Yiling looked at Qi Zhiyuan and said: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I really don't know how you led the soldiers in Beicheng for five years. This Chu Xiaoxiao is the youngest daughter of the Chu family head. You are talking nonsense in front of her. It is simply Meng Langzhi, not every girl can tolerate your random jokes like me." Qi Zhiyuan reacted quickly and apologized to Chu Xiaoxiao: "I was quick to speak. Miss Chu, please don't mind." Chu Xiaoxiao whispered: "Nothing." Qi Zhiyuan looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said in Lu Yiling's ear: "Her father is right when he said she is too quiet." Lu Yiling glared at Qi Zhiyuan, stepped forward and said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Don't pay attention to my cousin. I'm new to Yangzhou City. In the past few days, I have troubled my sister to take me around Yangzhou City." Chu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice: "I won't go out either. Maybe I won't be able to take the princess to visit Yangzhou City." Lu Yiling said: "It's okay, I'll just take you around." After arriving in Yangzhou City for a few days, Lu Yiling completely forgot about Lu Han. He spent the whole day playing with Qi Zhiyuan, Chu, Xiao, and Zheng Xiuxiu. Zheng Xiuxiu had children, so sometimes it was just the three of them who went out to play together, and they also spent time in Yangzhou City. All over again. Zhao Jie has not been idle these days. He and Chu Qing checked the public sentiment in Yangzhou City. Qi Yuning took Lu Zhixiu to summon the subordinates in the Yangzhou City area, and by the way, they bought a lot of properties. The harvest from this trip was quite rich. The original plan was to stay in Yangzhou City for half a month before leaving, but after staying there, I had to leave on the 20th. When Chu Chi was about to leave, he was still reluctant to leave Ye Li. The mother and daughter were talking in the room. Ye Li held Chu Chi's hand tightly and said, "Chi'er, your brother will return to Shengjing to take up a post in the spring. Mother also strives to get well as soon as possible and stay with you in Shengjing." reunion." Chu Chi said: "Okay." Ye Li added: "And if you get pregnant with a prince as soon as possible, you can stabilize your position. After all, it has been five years since you entered the palace as the queen. If that doesn't work, you can also let the concubines conceive the dragon son and bring him to you. Keep it.” Chu Chi lowered his head and responded: "Yes." Ye Li said: "Your father has chosen two maids for you. You can take them with you. They may be useful when you are in the palace." Chu Chi looked at the two beautiful maids behind Ye Li. They were extremely beautiful and looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. They were looks that would make people like them at a glance. Ye Li patted Chu Chi's hand and said: "In the royal family, heirs are the most important thing after all. Even if it is for the future, you must have a dragon son under your knees as soon as possible." Chu Chi responded: "Okay." Ye Li sighed, touched Chu Chi's face and said, "Aren't you very unhappy in the palace? If I had known this, my mother should have refused when the princess asked you to enter the palace." Chu Chi said: "With Ah Shi here, I can't help but be happy." Ye Li looked at his daughter distressedly, sighed and said: "Well, fortunately, His Majesty still has friendship for you. He is willing to leave state affairs for you for a few months and accompany you to Yangzhou. You have to take advantage of the opportunity now." If you are affectionate, you should get pregnant with Ryuko as soon as possible and gain a foothold. Also, your father wants to match Xiaoxiao with the little prince. Xiaoxiao will go with you to Shengjing City first. You can help match them up. If the marriage between the Qi and Lu families can be arranged, it will also be beneficial for you in the palace." Chu Chi said: "Don't embarrass Xiaoxiao, mother, the young prince likes Lingling. I don't want Xiaoxiao to suffer..." Ye Li sighed and said, "There's no need to force it, it's just that I think the young prince is a husband worthy of your sister's trust for the rest of her life." "Qi Dafei, my daughter has to bear the hardship of marrying into a high family. Xiaoxiao is already weak-tempered. Marrying into a high-ranking family like Prince Qi's Mansion may not be a good thing."
Prince Qi Xiaoxiao can be said to be the husband that every daughter in Shengjing City wants to marry. The royal relatives are powerful and have hundreds of thousands of troops. Chu Xiaoxiao may not be able to control such a husband. . What's more, when Chu Xiaoxiao was young, he lived under the shelter of others in Prince Qi's Mansion. "Your Majesty." Chu Qing's voice came from the door. Chu Chi was stunned, and she connected. Zhao Jie didn't know how long Zhao Jie had been eavesdropping outside. Ye Li was also a little worried, and the mother and daughter went out one after another. Zhao Jie looked unsteady and said: "It's time, it's time to go." Chu Chi said: "Okay." At the dock, Lu Yiling has not boarded the boat yet. She looked from a distance and said: "Smelly Chuche also said in his letter that he would arrive today. The boat is about to leave. He hasn't come yet. Now he is the young master of the Chu family. He is a small country." My uncle is so capable that he doesn’t even recognize me as his little master.” Qi Zhiyuan listened to Lu Yiling's complaint and said, "You also said that he is now the uncle of the state. Do you still want him to be your little bodyguard?" "He said he would be my little bodyguard for the rest of his life, so keep his word!" Ye Li heard this and said: "Lingling, why don't you wait any longer? Is Chuche Academy a little far from the pier?" "No wait, nanny, I'm leaving. You have to come to Shengjing City earlier. I'll wait for you in Shengjing City." Ye Li nodded and said, "Yes." Lu Yiling got on the palace boat and saw a young man wearing a green and black round collar robe riding a horse from a distance. The horse ran to the side of the palace boat and had already set off. Seeing this, Chu Che raised his whip and saw the horse leaping forward. Arriving in front of Lu Yiling. Qi Zhiyuan even protected Lu Yiling behind him. Chu Che got off his horse, half-knelt in front of Lu Yiling and said, "Princess Princess." Lu Yiling looked down at Chu Che and said, "Even if you still have a conscience, you still know how to come see me." Chu Che stood up and was already a head taller than Lu Yiling. Lu Yiling was full of dissatisfaction and said, "You, how can you be a head taller than me?" Chu Che touched his head and said, "Ah, maybe the princess didn't eat well." Qi Zhiyuan laughed at the side and said: "She didn't eat well? She even took the steamed buns from your hand to eat at the Chou Zhou Banquet. How could she not eat well?" Lu Yiling stepped on Qi Zhiyuan hard and said, "Shut up! Chu Che, the ship is sailing far away. It's time for you to leave. You won't be able to swim back when it's far away." Chu Che said: "I will not stay in Yangzhou anymore. I will go back to Shengjing City with the princess. I promised the princess to be your bodyguard for the rest of my life." Lu Yiling looked at Chu Yan Ye Li at the pier on the shore, "Do your parents know that you are following me to Shengjing City?" Chu Che lay on the deck and shouted loudly: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to Shengjing City." After saying that, Chu Che said to Lu Yiling, "I know now." Lu Yiling smiled lightly and said: "Welcome back, Guard Chu." (End of Chapter)
