020

Before daybreak, the palace's kitchen was already busy.

In addition to preparing breakfast for the emperor, empress, prince, princess and others, they also had to prepare food for the journey, not just lunch but dinner as well. In addition, adults and children eat differently and have their own preferences. In short, the chefs worked hard.

Seeing a faint light coming in, Lu Jingzhuo bent down to wake up Chu Yin.

Chu Yin was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyelids. She asked vaguely, "What time is it?"

"At 12:00."

My father-in-law had decided to leave at 7:00 p.m.

Chu Yin stood up hurriedly.

But he still couldn't open his eyes, and covered his forehead with his right hand: "I feel a little dizzy."

Who made her not sleep well last night and had to be hugged?

He said he would hold me for a while, but then he wanted to hold me for a while longer...

Lu Jingzhuo ordered Rendong to bring some water to wash her face so she could wake up.

"We have to go and wake up Er'er and Zhen'er," Chu Yin was worried about the two children. "Your Highness should go and wake them up. They like you the most. They will definitely be very happy to see you and will get up immediately."

“…” He spoke so nicely of the messenger.

But Lu Jingzhuo did not refuse.

Rendong and Lian Xuan helped Chu Yin wash and dress.

Due to lack of sleep, there was some blueness under her eyelids, so Chu Yin used some powder to cover it up.

When the emperor travels, many officials will be present. Their attire cannot be sloppy, but it cannot be too heavy that makes movement inconvenient. After all, they are going to escape the summer heat, not to attend court meetings or sacrificial ceremonies.

So Chu Yin did not wear the imperial crown and robes, but chose a red summer shirt with a imperial pattern, a plain gauze inner garment, a red belt with inlaid edges around her waist, and two white jade rings. She combed her hair into a peony-shaped bun, and wore gold beads and a phoenix hairpin in her hair.

When Lu Jingzhuo led the brother and sister over, he saw her standing at the door, bright and graceful, and was stunned for a moment.

The person in front of me is completely different from the one I was trying to hug last night.

"Mom, are we leaving?" Lu Zhen threw herself into her arms, "Daddy really isn't going?"

"Daddy wanted to go too, but he was busy with many things and couldn't accompany Zhen'er. Er'er, Daddy is also very sad. You and Er'er come back and tell Daddy what you saw, okay?" Chu Yin changed the way of saying it.

Is that so? Lu Zhen nodded vigorously: "Okay." She turned around and patted her father's leg, "Daddy, don't be sad."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

Seeing that it was getting late, the palace maids prepared breakfast.

The family sat down to eat.

Fortunately, I got up early, otherwise I would have been late due to the dawdling of these two children.

After finishing their meal, they immediately set off for the Qianqing Palace.

Lu Jingchen and his wife were already here. Tang Feiyan smiled and said, "Seeing my sister-in-law today, I finally understand what a beauty is!"

"Then you are so beautiful that you can make fish sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground!" Chu Yin said it casually as a polite remark.

When Emperor Jianxing saw his grandchildren wearing the same light green clothes, they looked like a pair of green leaves in a pond, refreshing and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's ride in the same car with Grandpa later to entertain him on the road."

The two children didn't know what the purpose of the meal was and couldn't help but look at their mother.

Emperor Jianxing touched his two little heads and said, "Don't look at it anymore. You must stay with Grandfather Huang. No one can stop you."

Chu Yin: “…”

It would be great to please my father-in-law, but I am afraid that the two children will make him restless.

But it was my father-in-law's own choice, so I have to bear the consequences in the end.

"I wonder how long Father can endure this," she whispered to Lu Jingzhuo, "Your Highness, do you think it will take one hour or two hours?"

“……” About half an hour, but he didn’t say.

Really, she was trying to find something to talk about, but he was still like this.

As soon as the mother-in-law, the third brother and Princess Baocheng arrived, they would leave, and he still didn't express his opinion? Chu Yin wanted to pinch him.

It was she who asked for a hug yesterday, and he hasn't said anything about parting yet.

Do you really think that half a month is too short, so short that it is not worth mentioning?

But don’t lovers always feel as if they have been separated for three years after not seeing each other for a day?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Princess Baocheng's voice coming from the door: "Sister-in-law, let me support you."

Everyone is here.

Emperor Jianxing stood up and said, "Let's go."

The group headed towards the palace gate.

There was a massive crowd in front of them, and large, brightly colored flags with embroidered images of the four sacred beasts: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, as well as the God of Wind, the God of Rain, the Goddess of Thunder, the Goddess of Lightning, etc. Chu Yin couldn't even count how many pieces there were, and only realized that each flag had to be held up by four people.

Behind the big banner were the imperial guards who were patrolling and clearing the area, all of them equipped with bows, crossbows and spears.

At the back were ten more chariots of various shapes, some for guiding the direction, some for recording numbers, some for warding off evil spirits, some for carrying medicinal materials... Each chariot was pulled by four horses, with a driver, a craftsman, and an imperial physician sitting on it.

In the center, of course, is the Jade Carriage that the Emperor rides in. The Jade Carriage is even more heavily guarded, with twenty military generals guarding it, as well as eunuchs, Jinyiwei, and multiple teams of cavalry and infantry.

In her previous life, Chu Yin had never traveled far away from home after entering the capital, even if it was only a day's journey like this, so she had never seen such a large array. She thought that with so many soldiers, the road must be very safe.

But she felt a little guilty in her heart, because her father-in-law's trip was caused by her rebirth, and looking at this situation, it was somewhat a waste of time and money.

Fortunately, she had done a good deed before, so maybe that could make up for it.

As she was about to leave, Princess Bosung asked Queen Jiang, "Is Ok-won not getting any better? Why didn't she come?"

"She suddenly felt unwell again in the morning, so I let her rest."

"How could this be?" Princess Baocheng frowned. "Courtier Ma can't even cure a heat stroke? My brother took him to Yanshan...Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you again. Please find another doctor to take a look at her."

"Maybe it's because it's been hot these days, so I've sent someone to add more ice to her room."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Chu Yin then suddenly realized why Jiang Yuyuan was pretending to be sick.

It turned out that she was planning to take advantage of her trip to Yanshan to get close to Lu Jingzhuo.

Does this little girl really like being Lu Jingzhuo's concubine?

Chu Yin turned her head and glanced at her husband beside her.

Today he was wearing a red robe with a gold dragon pattern, a golden crown on his head, fine eyebrows, handsome eyes, red lips and white teeth. He was truly handsome. Considering his status as the crown prince, it was no wonder that Jiang Yuyuan had such an idea.

In addition to wanting to replace me, she must have some affection for Lu Jingzhuo, otherwise she wouldn't have waited for so many years.

It’s just that it’s too early for Jiang Yuyuan to act like a demon in this life…

It was clearly the Dragon Boat Festival next year in my previous life.

Forget it. No matter how hard she tries, there will be no good results. Chu Yin is too lazy to care.

At this moment, the drum band suddenly started playing.

Chu Yin looked forward and saw that her father-in-law had already sat on the jade carriage with the two children in his arms.

It's time for her to go.

"Your Highness, I'm not in the palace. Please take care of yourself." This sentence was of course redundant. With so many eunuchs and palace maids taking care of him, there was no problem at all. She just wanted to express her concern and reluctance.

Lu Jingzhuo said calmly: "You too."

Just three words?

Chu Yin bit her lip, neither holding her hand nor saying "I'll miss her".

It's really annoying.

She looked at him resentfully, turned around and got into the carriage.

Looking at the red figure through the window, she thought that he would surely look reluctant to leave.

She remembered that when she was going to the capital from Qingzhou, her mother and brother came to see her off. After the carriage had been going for a long time, she leaned out of the window and looked back. Her mother and brother were still standing there. They were happy that she was going to the capital to be the Crown Princess, but they were also reluctant to let her go.

Lu Jingzhuo should be the same, right?

The treasure car moved forward slowly.

She stared at Lu Jingzhuo closely, paying attention to his every move.

She saw his gaze only for a moment, and then he quickly turned around and walked towards her mother-in-law and Lu Jingrui.

It was unclear what the three of them were talking about. He never looked at her carriage again, but his mother-in-law glanced at it twice.

Later, he left with his mother-in-law, Lu Jingrui.

There was absolutely no looking back.

There's no need to be reluctant to leave!

At that moment, Chu Yin felt empty inside.

It turns out that there was nothing in the first place.

How could she see something that wasn't there in the first place?

The events after her rebirth came flooding in, drowning her like waves.

And the memories of the past life...

She suddenly realized that the clues that Lu Jingzhuo liked her were actually after he ascended to the throne and after her death.

He is not into her now.

Chu Yin heard a "bang" in her head and her cheeks felt hot.

She covered her face with her hands.

What did she do during this time in front of a husband who didn't like her?

She acted coquettishly with him every day, and was self-righteous every day thinking that he liked her. She said unrestrained words and did things without restraint.

Damn it.

I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life!
