It was as if time had stopped and everything around me became quiet.
Chu Yin felt like she had returned to her previous life, that day in the Qianqing Palace.
That's how he kissed her.
She didn't know whether she was too surprised or too happy, her whole body froze.
However, what happened next was different from the previous life.
He quickly raised his head and broke the kiss himself.
They looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Suddenly, Lu Zhen's voice came from behind: "Daddy is kissing mommy, brother, look!"
"What? Where?" Lu Yu came up and raised his little face, "Daddy, kiss me again, I didn't see it."
“…”
For the first time in his life, Lu Jingzhuo wanted to cover his son's mouth.
Chu Yin's face also turned red, and she told Xiaodou and Qiniang, "Take Er and Zhen'er to have dinner."
"No, I didn't see it, Mom." Lu Wei shook his little hands, "I want to see it."
Chu Yin had a headache.
Seeing this, Xiaodou quickly used all his kung fu and somersaulted four times on the ground.
"Ah, you can do this too." Lu Wei's eyes widened and he was immediately attracted.
What a clever guy! Chu Yin secretly praised Xiaodou in her heart, and then looked at Lu Jingzhuo.
His face was expressionless, as if he had not kissed her just now.
But Chu Yin knew what a huge change that was.
In his previous life, he took this action after he ascended to the throne, more than two years in advance, which was no less than a monk breaking his vows. Unfortunately, it was too short, like a dragonfly skimming the water, and it was over before he felt anything.
This is dissatisfaction, but more of it is joy.
Chu Yin walked up to him and held his hand: "Your Highness, isn't it time to eat? We will be late to go to Chunhui Pavilion later."
The movements were teasing him, and so was the sound, like sugar water.
He couldn't control himself just now, probably because Chu Yin's actions affected him.
Lu Jingzhuo closed his eyes.
People can make mistakes, but they cannot make them again and again.
From now on, he will only cooperate with Chu Yin to have a child and will not interfere with her in other areas.
She is so used to it that she doesn't even act like a princess anymore. She is always clinging to him like a boneless person, wanting kisses and feeding. Does she have any manners or sense of propriety at all?
Lu Jingzhuo pulled his hand away: "Walk carefully."
Chu Yin: “…”
His expression changed so quickly, even though he was kissing her just now.
Is it because of shyness?
If a person tries every possible means to hide his feelings and doesn't want others to know, and then suddenly they are exposed, it would be strange if he is not shy.
She was kind of funny.
Forget it, don't be angry with him.
Princess Baocheng had not been to the palace for a while, so she brought Jiang Yuyuan to visit her brother today and gave him the iced sour plum juice that he liked to drink when he was young.
It was a little sweet, and Emperor Jianxing had stopped liking it a long time ago, but as it came to memories, thinking of the days he spent with his sister in the palace, he still drank half a bowl.
"It wasn't easy for me to get it. I had someone make a copper box and put ice in it first and then the sour plum juice. By the time we got to the palace gate, the ice had all melted. It's really hard to stay in the capital recently." Princess Baocheng waved her fan, "Brother, do you want to go to escape the summer heat? I see you've lost a lot of weight recently, why bother? Life is short, you should enjoy it. Come with me to Wenshu Temple in Yanshan!"
Emperor Jianxing glanced at her and said, "It was quite hot in the past two years, but I didn't see you go."
"Hey, I've got a bad thing going on, so I want to relax."
"Troublesome things?" Emperor Jianxing was surprised. "Who dares to bully you now?"
Princess Baocheng said: "It's not bullying, it's for Yuyuan's life..."
The little girl standing behind her sister was wearing a pink summer shirt embroidered with magnolia flowers and a silk belt around her waist, highlighting her slender waist.
Emperor Jianxing took a quick look and said, "Why, was it rejected? Who is so brave?"
Her brother really loves her. Princess Baocheng sighed, "I didn't want to say it, after all, marriage is based on mutual consent. But this Chu Ge... is Ayin's brother, and he's just a groom. He actually dislikes Yuyuan. Brother, do you think this is unreasonable? Yuyuan's background is a bit poor, but everyone knows that I love her as my daughter. Xuanning Marquis Mansion is her natal family, and the Chu family must know it. Brother, please judge, should I be angry?"
It turned out to be his eldest daughter-in-law’s family’s home.
Emperor Jianxing coughed lightly, then picked up the sour plum juice and took a sip.
If his sister had come a few days earlier, he might have helped her, but Chu Yin had just made a great contribution. Not only did she help him solve the locust plague, but she also uncovered several corrupt officials. How could he blame Chu Yin? Besides, marriage is all about matching up. Emperor Jianxing glanced at Jiang Yuyuan again. This little girl had no father or mother, so it was normal for the Chu family to dislike her. No matter how much his sister said, it couldn't cover up this fact.
"Since Chug is a good man, why bother trying to get ahead? I'll help you find a better candidate."
“…”
This clearly shows that you don't want to judge!
Princess Baocheng opened her mouth wide, wondering why Emperor Jianxing was so protective of the Chu family. Could it be because of Old Master Chu?
But no matter what, Master Chu is still a subject, and my brother wouldn't be so reluctant to say a word to him.
Just as she was about to ask more, Jiang Yuyuan suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is all my fault that I have caused trouble for my aunt. She has been wronged. I really don't want to get married recently. Please don't worry about it. I just want to be more filial to my aunt and uncle."
In fact, it is quite troublesome to choose a good candidate for my sister. Emperor Jianxing said, "Look at how reasonable your niece is. Don't worry about this matter. If I remember correctly, she is only sixteen. Take your time."
Princess Baocheng supported her forehead.
She felt that her brother was partial to the Chu family, but although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to continue asking her brother for judgment.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's wait for a while. But brother, please agree to my summer vacation. I see you are tired and I feel bad. I will only be away for half a month. Let Jing Zhuo handle the matter."
She knew very well that if she wanted to continue to have her current life, she had to maintain her relationship with her brother.
Going to Yanshan to escape the summer heat is one way. The brother and sister can put aside worldly affairs and travel together, which is beneficial to enhancing their relationship.
The capital city has been really hot lately, and he already disappointed his sister, so he didn't want to disappoint her again: "Okay."
Princess Baocheng was delighted: "Then I will go back and prepare it later. Brother, you should also start preparing. We will set out the day after tomorrow... By the way, brother, do you want to bring sister-in-law with you?"
It would be a bit lonely if they went alone, but taking the empress along would be asking for trouble, so Emperor Jianxing said, "Take Er'er and Zhen'er with you." He seldom saw the two grandchildren, and they were very unfamiliar to him, so it would be better to take them with him to cultivate their relationship. However, if the grandchildren went with him, the eldest daughter-in-law would have to go as well... Forget it, let's invite the second son and his wife as well, it would be more lively.
Since she has to take care of two children, I'm afraid Chu Yin will have to go as well. But it doesn't matter whether she goes or not. She's just a daughter-in-law. Can her relationship with her compare to that with her brother?
The only person she was afraid of was Lu Jingzhuo.
He is his brother's only legitimate son. It is very difficult for other princes to seize the throne, unless they are lucky, like his brother. The previous emperor was also the only legitimate son and had no offspring. After the emperor's death, it was the turn of his brother, the illegitimate son.
Princess Baocheng took Jiang Yuyuan to Chunhui Pavilion to see Lu Jingzhuo.
Just now, the aunt had convinced Emperor Jianxing, so for more than half a month, Chu Yin and the child were in Yanshan. Jiang Yuyuan came up with an idea for this.
Because Lu Jingzhuo was attending a lecture, Princess Baocheng did not interrupt him and waited until the lecture was over before entering with a smile.
"Jing Zhuo, you were so focused that you didn't even notice me."
Lu Jingzhuo turned his head and asked: "When did aunt come?"
"I've been here for half an hour."
"You can interrupt." Princess Baocheng understood, so Lu Jingzhuo remained polite. "As a junior, it's really rude of you to do that."
Jiang Yuyuan stepped forward to salute, her voice a little weak: "Cousin, auntie has always loved you, otherwise why would she come to see you again and again... She didn't even tell me she was tired from sitting there, and her side hasn't even cooled down yet, but auntie is sweating."
"Thank you, auntie."
What he said was true, but his expression was as serious and cold as before, making him difficult to approach. Jiang Yuyuan pinched the handkerchief with her fingers, remembering the way he hugged Chu Yin last time. It was actually the same. The action was right, but there was no tenderness on his face.
I wonder how they are doing now?
"Jing Zhuo, I just went to see my brother. He has decided to go to Yanshan with me to escape the summer heat. He will bring Er, Zhen, and Ayin with him." Princess Baocheng smiled and said, "I'll ask my brother to let you temporarily supervise the country. The time will not be long, maybe half a month."
Lu Jingzhuo was very surprised that his father would go on a summer vacation and take Chu Yin and the children with him...
He said, "Father has worked so hard these years, he deserves to take a break."
"Okay, I won't bother you and go back to eat."
When Princess Baocheng was about to leave, Jiang Yuyuan secretly pinched her leg hard, and then her body shook and she let out a muffled groan.
"What's wrong, Yuyuan?" Princess Baocheng looked at her in surprise.
"I don't know either. I suddenly felt dizzy." Jiang Yuyuan's face turned pale and two tears rolled down.
"Oh, how could this happen... Could it be that you are having your period?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyuan's face flushed, and she whispered, "No, aunt, I, I don't know what's going on," her eyelashes fluttered, and she moaned softly, apologizing to Lu Jingzhuo, "I'm sorry, cousin, I bother you, aunt, let's go, I can still..." But as soon as she moved, she felt dizzy.
Princess Baocheng was very anxious: "Jingzhuo, please call the imperial physician... call that Dean Ma."
Speaking of Ma Yuanzheng, Lu Jingzhuo remembered Chu Yin's strangeness again. He only asked Liu Yuanpan to come and told Dong Ling to go to the Imperial Hospital.
"Yuyuan, come on, sit inside." Princess Baocheng ordered her maid to help Jiang Yuyuan.
If Jiang Yuyuan was alone, Lu Jingzhuo would have left long ago, but it was inconvenient for him to leave now as he had to take care of his aunt, Princess Baocheng.
"Could it be that he has heatstroke?" Everyone would think of this reason on a hot day.
"Well, maybe," Jiang Yuyuan said, "My head still hurts a bit, and I feel like vomiting."
Princess Baocheng comforted her: "It's okay, the imperial physician will take a look, don't worry."
Normally, Lu Jingzhuo should have returned to the East Palace for dinner at this time, but today he was quite late. Chu Yin sent a eunuch to inquire and found out that it was because of Princess Baocheng. No, to be exact, it was because of Jiang Yuyuan.
She suddenly felt unwell in Chunhui Pavilion, and Lu Jingzhuo asked Dr. Ma to treat her.
This did not happen in the previous life.
Jiang Yuyuan had pretended to be sick before, but definitely not this early.
What's going on?
Chu Yin thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Prepare the car."
She was not worried that Jiang Yuyuan's trick would succeed, but since she knew it, and since Lu Jingzhuo and Princess Baocheng were both in Chunhui Pavilion, it would be inappropriate not to go, and she was also very curious about why this happened.
Could it be that something changed after her rebirth?
