008

When Chu Yin heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly looked forward.

Fortunately, Princess Baocheng was some distance away and should not have heard it.

She didn't want Lu Jingzhuo to offend Princess Baocheng.

Princess Baocheng is her father-in-law's only sister. Both of them were born to the late Consort De, so they have a special bond. Otherwise, why would she bother? She was afraid that Princess Baocheng would go to her father-in-law and stir up trouble, thus affecting Lu Jingzhuo.

"After all, she is my aunt, and she came to visit me specially. How can I not see her?"

It was unclear who he was trying to deceive, and Lu Jingzhuo was too lazy to expose it.

Although Jiang Yuyuan followed Princess Baocheng and never took her eyes off Lu Jingzhuo, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she saw him pick up Chu Yin. It took her a while to come to her senses and she said, "Aunt, the Crown Princess seems to be ill."

Princess Baocheng was startled and turned her head.

"How could this happen? Is it so serious?" She came over quickly, "Can we call a doctor?"

"Not yet." Lu Jingzhuo asked Dong Ling to invite Ma Yuanzheng.

Chu Yin said, "Please ask Court Judge Liu to judge."

It was really strange. Ma Yuanzheng's medical skills were obviously better than Liu Yuanpan's, so why did she always ask Liu Yuanpan? But Lu Jingzhuo still obeyed.

"Aunt, please go and have dinner first."

He carried Chu Yin to the bedroom.

When she was almost at the bed, her menstrual fluid began to flow again. Chu Yin frowned slightly and whispered, "Your Highness, you'd better put me down, otherwise I will dirty your..." She was not in a position to say this directly.

"What?" he was puzzled.

"That's it," she said in a voice like a mosquito, "it's overflowing, I need to clean it up."

“……”He understood.

Lu Jingzhuo put her down and called Lian Xuan and Ren Dong.

They both hurried to prepare water.

The man standing beside her was still serious and expressionless, but Chu Yin was very happy at this moment.

It turns out that when she cried out in pain, he would show that he cared.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness," she said.

Her eyebrows are curved and her smile is somewhat sweet.

Lu Jingzhuo asked: "Does it hurt anymore?"

"It still hurts, but after being held by His Highness, it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

She's on her period, should she still seduce him? Now they can't have sex.

I really don't know what to think.

He said nothing.

Princess Baocheng saw that Lu Jingzhuo had not come out yet, and frowned, "Is it really serious? Jingzhuo can't leave?"

It has been a while, and I don't know what the two are doing.

Jiang Yuyuan bit her lower lip hard.

She had always thought that Lu Jingzhuo had no feelings for Chu Yin, but just now he actually hugged Chu Yin in front of them, and not only that, he stayed with her and refused to leave.

Why is this happening?

She couldn't accept it.

She already had her own plans, and she didn't mind being Lu Jingzhuo's concubine.

The prince's side room is not an ordinary concubine. She will be granted the title of consort in the future. Throughout the dynasties, there are countless examples of concubines becoming empresses. Of course, she also has the possibility of becoming an empress. After all, Chu Yin is not favored.

But now...

Jiang Yuyuan's fingers almost tore the handkerchief.

"Yuyuan, what are you thinking about?" Princess Baocheng looked at her strangely, "Are you feeling unwell too?"

"No," Jiang Yuyuan came back to her senses, "I am worried about the Crown Princess. I remember that the Crown Princess also happened to have her period when she came to the East Palace. It was not that serious at that time. How come this time... is she sick?" She picked up another piece of fish and put it on the white porcelain plate, "You eat first, don't be hungry. I am young, so it's okay. I can be hungry for a long time."

Princess Baocheng felt unhappy when she heard this.

Is Chu Yin pretending?

She had been accompanying them and talking just now, and didn't seem to feel any discomfort. But as soon as Lu Jingzhuo came back, she couldn't even walk.

But what is the purpose of pretending like this?

To provoke her and the prince? To deliberately feed her? To not want to receive her?

Princess Baocheng didn't think that was the case.

Jiang Yuyuan urged, "Aunt, please eat quickly. The fish will smell fishy when it gets cold. It's not like other dishes which can be eaten later." As she spoke, she picked up the bowls and plates.

Seeing that she had brought it to her mouth, Princess Baocheng picked up the ebony chopsticks inlaid with silver.

After he had taken two bites, Judge Liu rushed to the East Palace.

Lu Jingzhuo came out and said, "President Liu, you examined Ayin before. She had her period yesterday and felt very uncomfortable. Do you know the reason?"

Judge Liu bowed first, then explained: "Your Highness, since the Crown Princess is weak, she will feel uncomfortable during her menstrual period. As for the specific situation, I need to check the Crown Princess' pulse."

Lu Jingzhuo hummed: "Just wait a moment."

Princess Baocheng waved her hand and said, "Jingzhuo, come and have a bite. We will be going to Chunhui Pavilion soon. We can't be hungry."

My father and Princess Baocheng grew up together in the palace. They were separated after they went to the feudal domain. They would occasionally communicate with each other, but he had no feelings for Princess Baocheng. They just called each other "Aunt".

We usually interact with each other for the sake of my father's face.

Lu Jingzhuo said, "No need, you eat, I'm not hungry."

Princess Baocheng thought that he had a poor appetite because of Chu Yin, and shook her head and said, "I can't believe Jing Zhuo loves the Crown Princess so much."

Jiang Yuyuan almost bit her lip when she heard this.

She didn't want to believe her eyes.

Maybe, it was just this one time today, when Chu Yin was not feeling well, that he would hug her and care about her. After all, they were husband and wife, and who could be heartless? They also had a pair of children. Jiang Yuyuan thought, if Lu Jingzhuo really didn't care about Chu Yin who was sick, it would actually be terrible.

If you are too cruel, are you still a human being?

He is affectionate and a normal person, so she may win his heart.

Jiang Yuyuan gradually calmed down.

There is still a long time.

After Chu Yin finished cleaning, Court Judge Liu went in to take her pulse.

It was nothing serious. She was just tired before and then entertained Princess Baocheng, which caused lower abdominal pain. Court Judge Liu did not prescribe any medicine, saying that taking too much medicine would not do any good and asked Chu Yin to rest more.

Princess Baocheng was also nearby, and she immediately felt that it was her presence that caused Chu Yin's discomfort.

Does she have to apologize?

That's impossible.

Chu Yin observed her expression and said, "I'm sorry to have made you worry, Auntie. It's all my fault. I've been a little suspicious lately, always feeling like something is wrong with my body, and Court Judge Liu has always made wasted trips, including this time."

Lu Jingzhuo will ascend the throne smoothly in the future, but this time is different from the previous life. She doesn't want any changes to occur that will affect Lu Jingzhuo's throne, so she takes all the blame on herself.

Princess Baocheng laughed: "Why do you have such wild thoughts at such a young age? Look at you, you've even made Jing Zhuo lose his appetite."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness," Chu Yin looked at Lu Jingzhuo, "I'm fine now, please go and have dinner with your aunt."

Lu Jingzhuo could guess what she was thinking, but there was no need to.

No matter how much my father loves his sister, he will never allow her to interfere in government affairs.

"Don't force yourself next time you have your period," he looked at Princess Baocheng, "I don't think your aunt will blame you."

Princess Baocheng was a little annoyed, but she would never quarrel with her own nephew over a single word.

Lu Jingzhuo is her brother's only legitimate son. Since her brother has appointed him as the crown prince, he will never change him easily. Why would she want to offend this crown prince? She smiled and said, "That's right, Ah Yin, you are being polite. If you had told me earlier, I would not have disturbed you."

Not sure if she was angry or not, Chu Yin glanced at Lu Jingzhuo and felt that he had wasted her efforts.

Why bother with Princess Baocheng? It's just a matter of words.

But then she thought again, Lu Jingzhuo said this for her, and she felt happy for a moment.

Seeing the prince and princess all around Chu Yin just because she had her period, Jiang Yuyuan felt bad, but her face was full of concern. She interrupted and said, "Crown Princess, you can drink some hot milk in your condition. I was also very uncomfortable once. I was in so much pain that I couldn't get out of bed. You remember it, aunt? It was after drinking hot milk that I got better. Cousin, you can ask the kitchen for some next time and give it to the Crown Princess to try."

Princess Baocheng thought: "It's true."

Jiang Yuyuan explained to Lu Jingzhuo in detail: "Don't make it too hot. It's better to add some brown sugar..."

If he didn't know her character, he would have really thought that she was thinking about him. Chu Yin watched Jiang Yuyuan trying every means to show off her graceful figure and fragrant breath in front of Lu Jingzhuo. She felt really sick, but she didn't stop her.

Because she didn't stop it in her previous life.

Lu Jingzhuo is the crown prince and the future emperor. Even if he is not as lustful as his father-in-law, it is impossible for them to be together all their lives.

She had already prepared for him to take a concubine.

She just wanted to secure her position as the principal wife and raise her children well, and she couldn't take care of anything else.

Fortunately, Lu Jingzhuo was a person beyond her expectations.

Chu Yin watched quietly.

Without waiting for Lu Jingzhuo to react, Princess Baocheng ruined her cousin's plan herself: "Don't disturb Ayin's rest, Jingzhuo, let's go, you still have to go to class later." She turned and walked out.

Jiang Yuyuan followed behind, almost stamping her feet in anger.

During the banquet, she never found an opportunity to get close to Lu Jingzhuo because Princess Baocheng talked a lot and incessantly. Lu Jingzhuo seemed annoyed and left without eating much.

On the way back in the car, Princess Baocheng mentioned Chug again.

"Next time I will invite the Chu family to visit, you can meet him... They used to live in Qingzhou, and only moved to the capital last year. I don't know what this Mr. Chu looks like, but I heard that he has a beautiful handwriting, and the emperor praised him highly. I will feel at ease if you marry him."

Jiang Yuyuan said softly, "I'm just afraid I'm not worthy of him, aunt."

Princess Baocheng held her hand and said with a smile, "I am here, what are you afraid of? Besides, you are not bad. I have hired a female teacher to teach you. You are good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are also good-looking. What are you worried about?"

What kind of good condition is this?

If it were true, she wouldn't have been laughed at by those ladies from prominent families, saying that she was living under someone else's roof and relied on pleasing Princess Baocheng to make a living.

She has no father or mother, nothing, but this one ability.

The reason why she is not looked down upon by others now is because Emperor Jianxing takes care of Princess Baocheng. As the Jiang family prospers, she gets some benefits. But with her background, the Chu family would not be interested in her. Of course, she does not want to marry Chu Ge.

She has her own choice.

She was going to take the gamble no matter what.

Chu Yin took a nap before getting up to have lunch.

Because it was already 3 p.m., she only ate a bowl of delicious chicken noodle soup.

With nothing to do, no desire to write, no desire to play the zither, and no desire to do needlework, Chu Yin asked Lian Xuan to take a few palace maids to the Yu Garden to pick flowers.

There are not as many flowers as during the Spring Festival, and slightly fewer in the summer, but the peonies, peonies, and hibiscus are gorgeous and beautiful, and the magnolias, lilies, and gardenias are pure and elegant, and are also very popular.

Chu Yin was lying on the couch, cutting flowers with a pair of silver scissors, while a small Ru kiln gall bladder bottle was placed on the ebony table next to her.

Slowly cut a branch, then slowly look at it, and the time passes quickly.

She hadn't finished it when Lu Jingzhuo came back.

At first glance, she looked like she was sitting among flowers.

"Why don't you rest?" he asked.

"If I sleep any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep at night," Chu Yin looked at a peony in her hand, "It's almost ready. I'll have dinner with His Highness soon."

He said, "No problem."

She put peonies into the vase, and decorated it with lilies and daphne, with branches and leaves interspersed in an orderly manner.

As if extremely satisfied, the corners of her lips curled up, blooming into a smile more beautiful than flowers.

Lu Jingzhuo's Adam's apple moved slightly and he looked away.

But I heard Chu Yin ask, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

He didn't know much about flower arrangement and didn't comment: "As long as you are satisfied."

It's so beautiful, can't we praise it a little?

Oh my god!

But today he hugged her and spoke for her, which was definitely some progress.

Chu Yin's eyes flickered over his face and said, "I like it very much, so I plan to give it to Your Highness. You can put it in the study. This Daphne flower is very refreshing."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

He suddenly remembered that Chu Yin had been acting coquettishly with him before, saying that the pain would go away after he hugged her.

That's really strange.

Why does she always tease him if they can't have sex?

He glanced at the vase and said calmly, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

If it's not flirting, then it's bribery.

Chu Yin: “…”
