006

His gaze was like the water in autumn, cool and falling down.

But Chu Yin didn't take her hand away.

They are husband and wife, what's wrong with just pinching like this? Lu Jingchen even gave Tang Feiyan some meatballs to eat.

She pinched again, resisting the pressure in his gaze.

The fingers were very beautiful, long and white, and the nails were light pink and glowed softly, but Lu Jingzhuo had no mood to appreciate them. He just thought that Chu Yin was too anxious to have a child and was doing things that she would not normally do.

Of course he didn't think Chu Yin liked him.

She married him simply to become the Crown Princess. What she wanted was power and status, but this was not a disadvantage. The disadvantage was that she could easily fall in love, which would make her hysterical, crazy, and lose her mind.

So he felt that Chu Yin was a good match for him.

It's just that things have been a bit abnormal these few days.

But never mind, having more children is not a bad thing, he will just satisfy her in the evening.

He withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Emperor Jianxing suddenly tested his three sons and asked them what they thought about the "equal taxation of square fields" proposed by Minister Chen.

This happened in the previous life, Chu Yin remembered.

She knew that what Lu Jingzhuo said was right. No matter whether the various tax laws were good or bad, the important thing was how to implement them. This was the key. Otherwise, it would all be empty talk. If they were implemented in a noisy manner and abandoned halfway, it would be a waste of time.

Emperor Jianxing smiled and said, "Then Jing Zhuo, according to your suggestion, how should we implement it?"

Lu Jingzhuo replied: "I think we should first improve the administration of officials and then curb the party politics. Otherwise, even if we send officials to implement it, it will be difficult to do so."

Seeing that her father-in-law only asked about the eldest son, Tang Feiyan became anxious. She pulled Lu Jingchen's sleeve under the table and told him to perform quickly.

Lu Jingchen didn't dare to interrupt.

His elder brother was the crown prince, the future emperor, so there was nothing wrong with him talking about state affairs. But he was different. When it came to sensitive issues, it was better to say less. He held his wife's hand, signaling her to stop making trouble.

Lu Jingrui looked serious and admiring at his father and brother.

Chu Yin's cold gaze fell on him, then quickly retracted.

I wonder if the 17-year-old boy already had the intention of seizing imperial power at this time.

If he had it now, he could really endure it.

I can actually wait until Lu Jingzhuo dies...

If he hadn't crashed, would Lu Jingrui still have taken action?

unknown.

The two children were still young and did not sit at the table. They were taken care of by Qi Niang and the palace maids while they ate elsewhere.

By the time the adults had left the banquet, they had finished their meal.

Queen Jiang saw their chubby little faces and liked them very much: "It's a pity that I'm not feeling well, otherwise I would have taken them in to stay for a few days."

"Mother, your illness will not be passed on to them, so it's okay." In the previous life, the mother-in-law experienced her husband and son passing away, and her grandson being imprisoned. The pain she endured was extremely deep. This time, it will not happen again.

Queen Jiang shook her head: "Be careful. I'll be happy if you bring them here occasionally."

Over there, after Emperor Jianxing finished his reunion dinner, he immediately flipped the cards to choose which concubine he would go to, while Lu Jingzhuo prepared to take his wife and children back to the Eastern Palace.

Before leaving, he suddenly asked Queen Jiang: "Do you have any palace maids here who can perform the Five Animals Exercises or Eight-Section Brocade?"

Chu Yin: “…”

I didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

What made her happy was that he took it to heart, but what made her worried was that he was still so rigid and unwilling to teach her.

Queen Jiang was puzzled: "What is the Five Animals Exercise?"

"Ayin is weak, so Judge Liu asked her to practice the Five Animal Exercises." Lu Jingzhuo thought that since Chuyin wanted to have a baby so much, she had to train her body right away, so he asked for her.

Queen Jiang turned and looked at Nanny Chen.

Nanny Chen said, "That's easy. I can do it. I will teach the Crown Princess tomorrow."

Lu Jingchen and his wife were right behind them. They had come to say goodbye to Queen Jiang and heard the conversation clearly.

Tang Feiyan said, "Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have a prescription for you to try."

Chu Yin didn't dare to ask for it: "I'm already taking tonic medicine, no need to bother."

"How can tonic medicine be as useful as my prescription, sister-in-law? My ancestors were..."

Lu Jingchen interrupted her: "Mother, brother, sister-in-law, we will take our leave first."

Seeing that Tang Feiyan was practically dragged out, Chu Yin found it funny again.

Compared to her younger brother and sister-in-law, the second brother is still quite sensible. He just shouldn't have thought of replacing the prince because he is not suitable. He is not as resourceful as Lu Jingrui, and it will only backfire.

Thinking of Lu Jingrui, Chu Yin cast her gaze towards him and suddenly said, "Third brother, did your eldest brother look at ants when he was young? Er'er has been staring at ants recently. I wonder if he is like him."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

Lu Jingrui was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Sister-in-law, I am seven years younger than my brother. I was not even born when my brother was young."

"Really? I actually forgot that you two are seven years apart." With such a big age difference, could it be that Lu Jingzhuo treats him like his own brother? Chu Yin asked, "Did His Highness often take you out to play before?"

Before Lu Jingrui could answer, Queen Jiang's voice rang out: "It's getting late, and I'm tired, you all should go back."

After she said that, it was natural that no one wanted to stay.

The hotter the weather, the louder the chirping of summer insects.

It makes a "squeaky" sound, as if it is playing music.

Chu Yin walked while thinking about her mother-in-law's reaction.

Did she interrupt on purpose or accidentally? It always feels a bit strange...

Maybe she should ask Lu Jingzhuo directly? She turned her head and found that Lu Jingzhuo was already holding Lu Wei.

I don’t know whether my son asked for it or he took the initiative.

Chu Yin's eyes flickered, "Your Highness can't be partial to one and ignore the other. What will Zhen'er think if you hold Er'er twice? You have to take turns holding her. Look at Zhen'er, she's looking at you eagerly."

One is not enough, why two? Lu Jingzhuo felt that she was using the excuse that "the child likes him" to trick him.

Unexpectedly, my daughter actually cried out, "Daddy, I want to be hugged too!"

She had a delicate and pretty face, and her eyes were the same as Chu Yin's, standard almond-shaped eyes, clear, bright, and very pure. No one could be hard-hearted when looking at her.

Lu Jingzhuo had no choice but to reach out and hold his daughter in his arms.

Two children, four hands, all hugged his neck tightly.

Chu Yin couldn't help but smile when she saw it.

She was already beautiful, and under the moonlight, she looked even more graceful, like a half-opened lotus in a pond. Lu Jingzhuo's eyes fell on her face and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you satisfied?"

There was some emotion in these words, making him seem more vivid than usual.

She nodded: "Yes, I am satisfied."

Playful.

He urged him again, "Go!"

On the way back, the four of them sat in a car.

The two children were tired and their eyelids were heavy.

Chu Yin joked, "They were so energetic when playing hide-and-seek that I was exhausted. Now I can't help but be watched by my grandparents."

This "one look" includes calling people, being kneaded, and being kissed.

The corners of Lu Jingzhuo's lips curled up when he heard this, and the image of Chu Yin sleeping in the yard appeared in his mind.

Could it be that she was exhausted from playing hide-and-seek that day?

If you really like children, no wonder you want to have another one.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Chu Yin ask, "Was Third Brother like this when he was young, always smiling? He has a really good temper."

He pursed his thin lips and said, "Yeah."

Such a brief answer might mean something is wrong. Chu Yin hesitated whether to continue asking.

If you touch upon something he doesn't want to talk about, he might resist.

She changed the subject: "Your Highness, did you ever see ants when you were a child?"

He answered quickly: "I don't remember."

“…”

At this time, the car arrived at the East Palace.

Dong Ling was waiting at the door, with a eunuch about seventeen or eighteen years old standing next to him.

Chu Yin asked: "Who is he? Can he do juggling?"

"His name is Xiaodou, and he works in the wine, vinegar and noodle shop. He has some skills..." Dong Ling said loudly, "Xiaodou, show him to His Highness, the Crown Princess."

Xiaodou took out six red bullets as big as pigeon eggs from his sleeve and threw them into the air.

His hands began to move up and down, making the bullet fly.

Chu Yin hurriedly woke up her son: "Er, look quickly."

Lu Yu rubbed his eyes, then opened them wide again: "Ah, Wan Zi, it's flying!"

Seeing the emperor's grandson happy, Xiaodou worked even harder and played with the six bullets in a way that was dazzling.

In fact, it is not a very profound skill, but Chu Yin couldn't help but think of the time when she was a child and went out to watch variety shows with her mother and brother during the New Year.

It was a carefree childhood. After growing up, she no longer had such a state of mind and rarely went out. She turned her head and looked at Lu Jingzhuo: "Your Highness, this man is not bad, keep him, you see Er likes him very much."

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel like there's something nasal about her voice, and a bit of a coquettish tone to it.

Lu Jingzhuo looked at her and said, "As long as you are satisfied."

Chu Yin said, "Xiaodou, you should focus on taking care of Er from now on, and don't need to go to the wine, vinegar and noodle party."

"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Crown Princess." Xiaodou felt as if she saw a golden road under her feet, and she knelt down excitedly and kowtowed, "I will definitely serve the young master well and live up to the high expectations of Your Highness and Crown Princess."

Chu Yin ordered: "Okay, carry Er inside."

"Yes." Xiaodou picked up Lu Wei with trembling hands. He was his financial master.

Qi Niang holds Lu Zhen in her arms.

A group of people entered the hall.

Xiaodou is a newbie, so he must learn how to take care of the emperor's grandson. Chu Yin asks Qinnan to teach him and make sure there are no omissions.

Not to mention the children were tired, she was also a little tired after finishing her work. She sat down to rest for a while, then went to wash, and then lay down on the bed.

In a daze, she felt a hand reaching around her waist.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Jingzhuo standing above her, supporting himself with one hand, temporarily keeping a distance from her.

She was a little surprised.

As far as he could remember, he would not touch her if she fell asleep first. This would only happen when both of them were very awake.

Could it be that he is in a good mood today?

It is rare.

While he was wondering, his middle garment had been undone.

He leaned over and kissed her lips.

He never did such actions during the day, and even at night, he rarely did so.

He usually wouldn't choose between trying his best to avoid it or being dispensable.

However, Chu Yin suddenly remembered that after the Queen's coronation ceremony, he kissed her a little more often. Once, in the afternoon, when she went to the Qianqing Palace to discuss something with him, he suddenly bent down and kissed her.

That day, the sunlight fell on his eyelashes like broken gold.

She was caught off guard and leaned towards the table, her hand accidentally touching the inkstone behind it.

Her fingertips were stained with ink and stained his dragon robe. She was so panicked that she took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

He said, "Never mind it."

She knew how much effort and money it took to weave a dragon robe, and she thought how could she ignore it, so she hurriedly ordered the eunuch to invite the manager of the clothing bureau...

Her waist was suddenly grabbed, and her memory was interrupted.
