Chapter 79: Rubbing Feet Jing Yue was quite strong and directly grabbed her ankle: ...
Chapter 79
Emperor Longshun said this:
"Xiuyuan, I originally wanted to give you a chance to gain some experience, but then I realized you and Yue'er just got married, and I couldn't be the bad guy who ruined the relationship between the young couple. So... I asked Master Gu to come along. Xiuyuan, you won't blame me for not giving you a chance to make a name for yourself, will you?"
"How could it be... Father, you have shown me great love by betrothing the princess to me. I am eternally grateful!" Lin Zhiyi's expression and voice were full of sincerity.
Jing Yue also said softly: "Thank you, father, for your consideration for me and your husband, and for not separating us..."
Emperor Longshun looked at the two of them and smiled with satisfaction.
Yes, they are two good kids.
Be neither arrogant nor impatient, and be well-behaved and obedient.
Yue'er has suffered for two years. The deaths of her two previous husbands-in-law have caused many rumors in Beijing... She finally has a husband-in-law who understands her and cares about her!
Lin Zhiyi wore a pair of thick-soled boots today, and added height-increasing insoles inside, so when he and Jing Yue stood together, their heights were similar, and their looks were even more compatible.
Others could not see any incongruity in the women dressing up as men or men dressing up as women, and they would only smile and praise them as a perfect couple with good looks.
Emperor Longshun didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He personally had a meal with Concubine Lan, Jingyue and Lin Zhiyi in Chengqian Palace, and gave the young couple some advice.
It's nothing more than letting them live in love and have a baby as soon as possible.
Emperor Longshun said, "Your third sister is also pregnant. Yue'er, you must hurry up and don't let your mother be too lonely. With your marriage, the palace always feels like something is missing."
Jing Yue was just about to agree obediently. Anyway, these words would go in one ear and out the other to him. After playing the princess for so many years, he had already handled it with ease and there wouldn't be any flaws.
Concubine Lan smiled, put down her teacup, and said to Emperor Longshun, "Your Majesty, I don't feel lonely. Yue'er and her husband just got married, and they've only been married for three days. Why would you urge them to have a child now? Besides, Your Majesty is still in the palace. Could it be that Your Majesty dislikes me? Do you want to find a sister or younger sister to accompany you? Then tell me, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be polite."
Emperor Longshun looked at her helplessly. "It seems I've been the bad guy this time. It's my fault. My beloved concubine has a point. They are... still too young. Let them be." He grasped Concubine Lan's delicate hand and smiled. "Of course, I'm even happier that my beloved concubine can put all her thoughts on me."
"Your Majesty~" Concubine Lan called out in a sweet voice, her eyes moving around, quite alluring.
Emperor Longshun happily embraced the person in his arms and prepared to stay overnight.
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue looked at each other quietly and said no more about the "child".
Jing Yue asked about Jing Wei's pregnancy at the right time: "How is the Third Princess? I didn't have time to congratulate her the past few days."
Jing Wei had been married for two years, and there had been no pregnancy. Concubine Rou had been keeping an eye on her, and she would occasionally chat with Concubine Lan and Jing Yue when they met at palace banquets or other occasions.
Secretly worried about Jing Wei's health and the Third Prince Consort's abilities...
Of course, the couple naturally told others that they were not in a hurry to have children.
But the eldest princess and the second princess both had children as soon as they got married, and the concubines in the palace started gossiping and said all kinds of things.
Concubine Lan said, "Your Third Sister is fine and hasn't had any pregnancy symptoms yet. I think she's carrying a quiet and loving child. I've already congratulated you and prepared a gift for her, so don't worry."
Jing Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
Emperor Longshun felt even more relieved after hearing this. Now that Concubine Lan and Concubine Rou could live in peace, his harem would have fewer worries.
That night, Emperor Longshun stayed at Chengqian Palace. Concubine Lan, wearing a purple silk gauze dress, asked as she combed her hair, "Your Majesty has sent the Fourth Prince out. Shouldn't you go to Concubine Zhao to appease her?"
Emperor Longshun relaxed on the bed, staring at the graceful Concubine Lan, and said with a smile: "Why, aren't you happy that I'm accompanying you?"
"Of course I'm happy. I'm just afraid that Sister Zhao Fei will blame me." Concubine Lan put down the comb, twisted her waist and walked to the bed, snuggling in Emperor Long Shun's arms like a cat.
Emperor Longshun held her chin and kissed her for a while, then, still unsatisfied, he rubbed her waist and hips and pushed her down on the bed. "Who else in this palace can be as jealous as you? Concubine Zhao is sick all day long. Isn't it considerate of me to ask her to take good care of herself?"
Concubine Lan hugged his neck, actively responded to the kiss, and murmured, "Your Majesty is always considerate. I love your Majesty's thoughtfulness the most..."
The two were an old married couple. After some tenderness, Emperor Longshun held her in his arms, running his fingers through her long, soft black hair, and occasionally spoke to her from the heart: "I originally wanted to let Xiuyuan go, but later I thought it was indeed not appropriate. He and Yue'er had just married. It would be better for him to work hard in the capital and live a comfortable life for a few years. He is still young."
Concubine Lan: "Your Majesty is wise. Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
Anyway, the Fourth Prince has already been chosen, so it's just a matter of her saying a few nice words to appease him.
Emperor Longshun felt much more relieved. "You are so considerate. I didn't let the third child go because Chaoyang is pregnant. They have a good relationship. It would be inappropriate to let Chaoyang worry all the time during her pregnancy. The fifth child can't speak, and the sixth child is a fool... so we can only let the fourth child go."
He did not mention the second son, Prince Rui, nor did he mention the crown prince.
Concubine Lan naturally tactfully kept silent and simply agreed, "The Fourth Prince is a valiant man with no errands to attend to, so he's naturally the most suitable."
…
Time goes back to the afternoon.
On their way back to the princess's residence from the palace, Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue couldn't help but relax a little - the etiquette and social activities of the first few days after their marriage were completely completed.
In the carriage, Lin Zhiyi leaned back on the soft couch, gently moving his feet and ankles.
These ancient high heels make my feet tired.
Jing Yue caught a glimpse of her movements and suddenly leaned over to help her take off her boots. He then grabbed her ankles and moved her legs up, placing them right on his legs.
Lin Zhiyi: “!!!”
She subconsciously wanted to retract her feet.
This action is too intimate!
Besides... taking off her shoes and rubbing her feet is inappropriate for Her Highness the Princess! Who knows what will happen if someone sees this! What if His Majesty finds out and charges him with disrespect?!
Jing Yue was quite strong and grabbed her ankle directly: "Don't move!"
Lin Zhiyi lowered his voice: "What if someone sees us? I'll be punished then."
Jing Yue looked up at her helplessly: "No. I'm here, don't worry. Doesn't it hurt?"
"It hurts." Lin Zhiyi relaxed and let him go.
Jing Yue massaged her feet and said, "You've figured out a way to increase your height by putting these things in your boots... It's interesting, but it's tiring."
Lin Zhiyi whispered, "It's okay. I'm used to wearing high heels. Of course, sneakers are more comfortable."
These were two words he didn't quite understand, but fortunately after Lin Zhiyi explained them, he understood. He even listened to her talk about the high-heeled shoes market.
"Maybe some short people would like to increase their height this way. When I have time, I'll go talk to the elder sister and see if she can sell it."
"Of course there is. Big sister has always been smart." Jing Yue praised Lin Zhiqin and then praised her, "You actually have a way to sell it yourself, right? But you always think about big sister and the others."
"Human energy is always limited. Of course, I should delegate any work that can be delegated. This way, I can have more time to do what I enjoy," Lin Zhiyi argued confidently. "A boss who can't lead a team is not a good boss. If you're not careful, you'll burn yourself out."
Jing Yue raised her eyebrows and agreed, "Indeed. You are really smart."
"Hey, do you know why Father chose the Fourth Prince?"
"The Crown Prince can't risk leaving the capital easily. Prince Rui has official duties to attend to. Third Brother has just suffered an injustice and has just become an uncle. How can he let Third Sister worry about her pregnancy? So he's not suitable either. Fifth Brother can't speak, and Sixth Brother is still a bit childish... Only Fourth Brother can go."
"Is the Sixth Prince older than you?"
"Only a month or two older. Why?"
"Nothing. Just asking."
Jing Yue lifted the car curtain and looked outside. Seeing that they were almost at Xuanwu Street, she asked, "Are we going home or to the Duke's Mansion?"
"Let's go to the Duke's Mansion. Master is going out, I have to see her off."
"Okay." Jing Yue said loudly, "Tang Cong, go to the Duke's Mansion."
Tang Cong, who was on horseback in front, shuddered: "Yes! Princess!"
Jingyue took the boots and put them on Lin Zhiyi again.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him lovingly, with affection in her eyes that could not be hidden.
The little prince that I personally trained is so considerate!
In the Duke's Mansion, Lin Zhiqi excitedly packed her bag. She also took the silver bow Zhou Mingyan had given her, as well as her sword, spear, wrist guards, and knee guards...
Lin Zhiqin, Lin Zhishu and Lin Zhihua were all here with her, looking at her reluctantly.
"Second sister, do we have to go?" Lin Zhishu was very worried.
"Don't worry, third sister. Master is here, and my martial arts are not bad either. I'm just accompanying the army to intimidate the Western Regions. I'm not really going to fight in a war, so there won't be any danger." Lin Zhiqi comforted them with a broad mind.
Lin Zhiqin: "You have finally gotten what you wanted. But while you may be happy, don't be careless. You must be cautious and careful in everything you do, lest you become overly happy and end up in tragedy."
Lin Zhiqi: "I know, I know. Big sister, you've scolded me eight hundred times."
Lin Zhiqin had no choice but to give her some silver: "When you go out, prepare some extra silver and buy whatever you want to eat."
"Thank you, big sister! You are the best!" Lin Zhiqi took the stack of banknotes with a smile.
Lin Zhishu gave her a detailed map as a gift: "Second sister, I asked someone to find this for me from a bookseller. Take it with you, just in case."
"Third sister is so thoughtful, thank you!"
Lin Zhihua gave her a sleeve arrow she made herself: "Second sister, this is a life-saving device, it can be fired continuously. Be careful when using it, don't hurt yourself or General Gu by mistake."
Lin Zhiqi couldn't put it down and played with it for a while, then carefully put it away: "Thank you, fourth sister!"
"The princess has arrived—the prince consort has arrived—" someone announced from outside.
The four sisters were not used to Xiuyuan being called the prince consort. They were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then came out to greet him with a smile.
