In the evening, the two children came to pay their respects.

Chu Yin took them to the study.

"Daddy is reading a book." She said, "Er'er, Zhen'er, when you grow up a little bit, you can let Daddy teach you."

Lu Zhen said in a baby voice, "Daddy is reading something."

"Historical Records."

History is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations, so Lu Jingzhuo has always liked reading history books.

Lu Zhenke didn't understand: "Dad, don't you read the Thousand Character Classic?"

"Thousand Character Classic?" Lu Jingzhuo asked Chu Yin, "Did you teach them?"

"It's not about teaching. They can't learn it at all now. They just know it by heart."

"Very good. You will learn faster in the future." Lu Jingzhuo held the two children on his lap and moved the "Records of the Grand Historian" in front of him a little further away, fearing that their four little hands would scratch and crumple the book.

Chu Yin looked at him and smiled. He already had quite a bit of experience.

Sitting on their father's lap, the two children began to chatter.

Lu Wei talked to his father about horse riding. He felt that he had grown a little taller and could learn it.

Lu Zhen said she had eaten ice cream in the afternoon which was very sweet, and asked Lu Jingzhuo if he had eaten it before.

Chu Yin was staring at the flower arrangement on the table, and waited for Lu Jingzhuo to bring it up, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

She was a little angry.

Why didn't this person say thank you after receiving the gift?

After Xiaodou and Qi Niang took the child away, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, don't you like this flower arrangement?"

How did she know that? At most, he thought she was a little obsessed with having a child.

"no."

It turned out not to be. Chu Yin said, "Then you should tell me if you like it."

Not liking something doesn't mean you like it. It could also be dispensable. Lu Jingzhuo didn't want to explain this question. "It's time to eat. Let's go."

It was extremely difficult for him to say "I like you", and Chu Yin felt a little discouraged.

But it cannot be said that Lu Jingzhuo has not changed at all. The last time he hugged her in Kunning Palace, that was impossible in his previous life.

She went out with him.

When they reached under the eaves, she suddenly reached out and gently held his fingers.

He paused and looked down at her.

She didn't look up, so her expression couldn't be seen, only her eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings.

His heart felt like it was hit by a hammer and trembled for a moment. In the end, he did not break free. He just felt that Chu Yin's methods were becoming more and more numerous and hard to guard against. However, this feeling was not disgusting.

After all, they are husband and wife, so there is nothing wrong with holding hands.

He let her go.

The two people overlapped their sleeves, completely covering their fingers.

However, Chu Yin's fingers were not too still, and halfway through, they pinched his palm.

He paused again and suddenly asked, "What do you want to say?"

It would be fine if it was just holding hands, but why teasing like this?

It's not even dark yet, is she impatient to wait?

Chu Yin raised her head, smiling faintly and a little cunningly: "Nothing, I just wanted to do this for a while." She said, "Your Highness can do this." In fact, it was a test, wanting to "offend" him more and more and get his permission.

“…”

He didn't want to tease her.

However, to prevent her from pulling him again, Lu Jingzhuo grabbed her entire hand with his backhand and took her back into the hall.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. After dinner, Chu Yin leaned against the door to admire the moonlight.

I don’t know how to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

We usually have a reunion dinner at Kunning Palace and then go home. It is no different from any other family dinner, except that there is an extra plate of mooncakes on the table.

She missed her mother and brother a little.

My father is an official working away from home and rarely comes back.

Lian Xuan whispered, "Crown Princess, the water is ready."

Chu Yin turned and walked to the side room.

It was hot and she was feeling lazy. She leaned against the headboard, half asleep and half awake. When Lu Jingzhuo came over, he leaned over and kissed her lips without saying a word.

Aggressive, passionate, just like she had asked for that time.

Chu Yin woke up immediately and was extremely surprised.

He actually wants to have sex in such a hot day?

Not afraid of discomfort.

But his lips were so soft and he kissed her so well, she couldn't bear to push him away, so she hugged his neck and threw herself into it.

After a while, the sweat was pouring down like rain, and the summer mushrooms on the bed were soaked.

I don't know why he is so interested.

But come to think of it, this has happened quite a lot recently, completely unlike in my previous life.

Chu Yin looked at the sweat-stained but still handsome face above him, and suddenly his mind emerged of the moment many days ago when he asked Liu Yuanpan whether she was able to have a child.

Could it be that he really wants to have a child?

Unfortunately, she couldn't remember during this time...

He was just afraid that he was doomed to be disappointed.

On a gray morning, Yi Jian was waiting at the gate of the palace carrying a bundle.

He felt like he was dreaming.

But who dares to forge an imperial decree? If it says that the emperor summoned me, then of course it is a real summons from the emperor.

The sun gradually rose, shining on his cracked lips that were oozing blood, but he felt no pain. He was determined to present to the emperor the methods he had summarized over the years on preventing and controlling locust plagues, so as to help the people.

Under the scorching sun, his figure was thin and straight, like a tough bamboo.

The palace gate opened, and the eunuchs looked him up and down: "Yi Zhubu, right? Please follow me."

The magnificent Qianqing Palace is right before your eyes.

Yi Jian walked into the hall step by step along the white jade steps.

The man had a handsome face, but looked haggard. It was hard to tell his age. Emperor Jianxing asked, "I heard that you can prevent locust plagues. Is that true?"

Yi Jian knelt down and bowed, then opened his bundle and took out a dozen books: "Your Majesty, I have studied the agricultural books of the nine dynasties since the Hui Dynasty. Although I have some experience, I dare not take credit for it. Now these methods are based on the experience of the predecessors. I have summarized them. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianxing ordered the eunuch to get it.

He read ten lines at a glance and quickly finished the book. He said loudly, "Good, good, you are really capable!" Then he smiled heartily, "I didn't expect that my eldest daughter-in-law has such a keen eye, no, a keen ear, and she was recognized as a talent just by a few words."

Yi Jian didn't understand at all.

What does the eldest daughter-in-law mean? Crown Princess?

What does this have to do with the Crown Princess?

Emperor Jianxing continued to read the second book and gave the seat to Yi Jian in the middle.

Unconsciously, two hours passed, and Emperor Jianxing finally raised his head: "Yi Jian, listen to my order. I will promote you to the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Revenue. The agricultural affairs of the six counties under the jurisdiction of the capital will be under your jurisdiction. You will take up the post immediately."

Yi Jian was shocked by the sudden and powerful move. He was stunned for a moment before kneeling down to express his gratitude: "I will never let your majesty down!"

Watching the man's departing back, Emperor Jianxing stroked his short beard, and a strong feeling arose in his heart - there should be no more locust plagues next year, at least there will definitely not be starving corpses everywhere.

He said happily: "Reward the Crown Princess with twenty pieces of brocade and two boxes of jewels. Congratulations, you should deliver them in person."

He Zhong responded.

At this time, Chu Yin was telling the two children a story from the book. When she heard that her father-in-law had a reward, she hurried out to claim it.

After He Zhong read out the oral order, he smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you have recommended a truly talented person to Dai Yue. His Majesty is very pleased, so he rewarded you... That Yi Zhubu is now a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue."

He was promoted from chief clerk to doctor, jumping four levels in a row, to the fifth rank, which was amazing.

If Yi Jian can seize the opportunity and handle the locust plague well, he will definitely have a bright future.

But there is no doubt about this, he is an expert in locust control, but he has always been...

Chu Yin said: "I have to go and thank the emperor for his grace."

She immediately took a car to the Qianqing Palace.

Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter-in-law came to thank him. Emperor Jianxing smiled and said, "Ayin, you don't have to thank me. This is what you deserve."

Having said that, Chu Yin still kowtowed obediently.

Afterwards, she stood up and said, "Father knows how to use people, which is a blessing for the Great Yue. It's a pity that some officials are secretly obeying the emperor's orders and are covering up the truth with one hand... Otherwise, the change of the chief clerk would not have required my daughter-in-law to recommend him."

Emperor Jianxing was stunned, and then his face darkened: "Are you saying that someone knew he had talent but deliberately concealed it? How can this be possible... Yi Jian didn't even mention this just now!"

"Lord Yi may be kindhearted and devoted to studying prevention and treatment methods. He will not pursue the consequences if he suffers a loss. But father, if this person shows up one day later, it will be a loss for Dai Viet."

Emperor Jianxing had completely understood it by now.

It must be the magistrate of Nanhe County, or even a higher-ranking prefect who did not allow Yi Jian to come to the fore.

Emperor Jianxing slammed the table and said, "No wonder I haven't found any talent in the past three years! How dare a piece of shit fool me? He Zhong... call Qin Xiao here!"

Qin Xiao was the commander of the Jinyiwei, who only obeyed the emperor and was not subject to the supervision of any government office.

Seeing this, Chu Yin took his leave tactfully.

Her words cost the heads of four corrupt officials in the following days.

Chu Yin certainly didn't know. When she arrived at the East Palace, she saw Lu Jingzhuo just coming back from Chunhui Pavilion. She couldn't help but pull his sleeve to show off: "Your Highness, my father rewarded me. Did you see that? The story about the change of the chief clerk is not false."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

"You don't believe it?" She was in high spirits, her eyes smiling like crescents, "Father has promoted Yi Zhubu to a doctor. He is now a fifth-rank official."

"I believe it, but," Lu Jingzhuo stared at her, "are you so happy just because of this?"

"Yes, I have a keen eye and I am of course happy!" She suddenly realized that this time she was reborn, she could not only change the fate of herself, her husband and her family, but she could also save the lives of many people and prevent good officials from being buried so that they could display their talents.

Her rebirth is really meaningful.

That smile was so brilliant that it was hard to describe what it resembled. Perhaps it was like the scorching sun, so bright and shining that it made people dizzy.

Lu Jingzhuo didn't know what was wrong with him. He couldn't suppress the sudden impulse and lowered his head to kiss her rosy lips.
