Of course she was disappointed, but Chu Yin was also a little happy.
Lu Jingzhuo didn't need to care about the matters between the sisters-in-law, but he remembered her words completely.
Last time he hugged her in public, and this time he held her hand in public, which was not easy for him.
Chu Yin couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Lu Jingchen and his wife came forward and bowed, then his eyes fell on Chu Yin: "My sister-in-law was in Qingzhou for the past two years. This time she is in Beijing. It's the first time for our family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together." He then looked at his nephews and nieces, "Er, Zhen'er has grown a lot since I last saw her."
Having lived in Wenshu Monastery for a while, the two children remembered them and said in unison without their parents’ reminders: “I’ve met Uncle and Aunt!”
He speaks in a baby voice and is cute, no wonder his wife is so jealous.
Of course Lu Jingchen knew that Tang Feiyan was jealous, otherwise why would she say that the child was noisy? She was just feeling sour grapes because she couldn't eat them. She was possessed by a demon and was eager to have a child. Fortunately, after returning to Beijing, she asked her parents to think of a solution, and they sent her a folk remedy, which she finally calmed down after taking.
In front of them, Lu Jingzhuo was actually holding Chu Yin's hand.
Tang Feiyan was shocked again.
Does the prince like Chu Yin so much? Why can't she see any sign of it?
He is so blind that he even uses the love between them to provoke Chu Yin.
It's so embarrassing.
There was also the matter of inspecting agricultural affairs, and she couldn't go.
She really had to keep a low profile and be restrained until she had the child. Tang Feiyan smiled at Chu Yin and said, "I will worship the moon with my sister-in-law later."
Of course Chu Yin would not refuse: "Okay."
There was no need to stand at the door and talk. Lu Jingzhuo said, "Let's go in and pay our respects to the Queen Mother first." He led Chu Yin forward and told Xiaodou and Qi Niang, "You hold the baby."
He didn't loosen his hand.
The strength did not change, he held her firmly.
Tang Feiyan had already seen it, so he should have stopped. Why was he...
Chu Yin raised her head in confusion.
He still had that expressionless face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. She had no idea what he was thinking.
Did he feel that the proof was not enough? Did he want Tang Feiyan to watch for a while longer?
She suddenly wanted to laugh.
If so, he was taking it too seriously.
In fact, Tang Feiyan was not that stupid. After seeing him hug her last time, she had given up using this trick. As a man, Lu Jingzhuo probably didn't quite understand these things between women.
But he is still willing to do it.
Chu Yin couldn't help feeling a little warm, and her fingers moved quietly in his palm.
He naturally felt it, and recalled the day when she took the initiative to pull him and push him.
An inexplicable emotion came over him, and he couldn't describe it.
I just don't want to let go.
Two children behind me were looking at the lanterns along the road and shouted, "There are so many of them, and they are so bright!"
The courtyard was as bright as day.
Chu Yin glanced forward and suddenly said, "Your Highness, you said before that the Mid-Autumn Festival here is like a family banquet. There won't be actors at a family banquet, right?"
Lu Jingzhuo also spotted actors in colorful costumes, among whom a woman had begun to play the flute.
The song is leisurely and melodious, it is "Autumn Lake Moon".
"There really wasn't one before. This year, Father might want to liven things up a bit."
But in my impression, the Mid-Autumn Festival in my previous life was always celebrated in an ordinary way, and there were no actors arranged. It seems that my father-in-law is in a good mood recently. However, during the Dragon Boat Festival next year, my father-in-law not only hosted a banquet for all the ministers in the palace, but also watched young generals practice archery and play polo.
While he was thinking, he had already reached the gate of the palace.
Lu Jingzhuo finally let go of her hand.
When the actors saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, they all knelt down and saluted.
Lu Jingrui came out, bowed and smiled, "Big brother and big sister-in-law, second brother and big sister-in-law are here together!" He told the singer, "Let's change the song "Flowers and Full Moon" first, it's just right for this time."
It means that the couple is happy and harmonious. I have to say that he is really smart. Chu Yin asked Xiaodou and Qiniang to put the two children down: "I went to see Uncle San."
At this time, Princess Baocheng and Jiang Yuyuan also arrived at the palace.
Jiang Yuyuan whispered, "You always bring me along. I wonder if His Majesty will get bored. And the Empress, my three cousins..."
"You are imagining nonsense again. Who would be annoyed with you? My brother knows that I treat you as my daughter, otherwise he would not agree. Others would not care about an extra pair of chopsticks. Besides, you are so sweet-mouthed, who would be annoyed with you?" Princess Baocheng waved her sleeves. "Last time, my sister-in-law was willing to keep you in Kunning Palace to recuperate. What are you worried about? Let's go!"
She originally wanted to bring her husband and son, but it was not appropriate to hold the banquet in the inner palace.
As for why she wanted to celebrate the festival with her brother, it was of course because she wanted to maintain the good relationship between them, so that the Xuanning Marquis Mansion could enjoy wealth and prosperity forever.
Jiang Yuyuan was not worrying unreasonably just now. She intercepted Lu Jingzhuo halfway last time because she was afraid that Lu Jingzhuo would be annoyed with her.
She and her uncle hadn't found a solution yet, so they were a little worried.
The two soon arrived at Kunning Palace.
Everyone was talking around Queen Jiang, who was feeding her two children pine nut mooncakes. Laughter could be heard from time to time.
"Sister-in-law!" Princess Baocheng strode in.
Queen Jiang was not surprised that her husband had mentioned that she was coming.
Princess Baocheng took Jiang Yuyuan forward and saluted Queen Jiang: "This child has been bothering you for a few days, and she feels guilty. She just said that she was afraid that you would be annoyed with her. I said that you are a broad-minded person, and she is worrying too much."
She really wasn't a broad-minded person, otherwise she wouldn't have tried to save her husband at all costs in Qingzhou.
It's just that I've given up.
Queen Jiang said, "Don't take this little thing to heart. Come over and sit down."
Of course Jiang Yuyuan couldn't sit down yet. She had to pay her respects to her three cousins, as well as the Crown Princess and the Princess of Jin.
But when she met Lu Jingzhuo's eyes, she couldn't call him "cousin" as she usually did sweetly.
It seems that she guessed correctly. Lu Jingzhuo had already seen through her intentions. His expression was extremely cold. But it was obviously he who was ruthless first and hurt her hand. After all, she didn't accomplish anything and nothing happened. She didn't know why Lu Jingzhuo was really tired of her.
Jiang Yuyuan decided to retreat first to reduce Lu Jingzhuo's vigilance, so she called him "cousin" calmly and turned to look at Chu Yin.
Chu Yin definitely knew nothing about it.
With Lu Jingzhuo's personality, he would never tell his wife about this.
Jiang Yuyuan's voice became sweet again: "Crown Princess, I will go to worship the moon with you and Princess Jin later, right? With two fairy-like people like you here, I'm afraid it will be easier for my wishes to come true."
Chu Yin was already used to her methods and smiled slightly: "I don't have anything to say, you can ask your sister-in-law."
Tang Feiyan was the daughter of the Marquis's family. She was naturally frivolous and had always looked down on Jiang Yuyuan. If it weren't for Princess Baocheng, she would have never paid any attention to her: "Miss Jiang has praised us so much, how can we refuse?" She laughed again, "Actually, they are three fairies, right? Speaking of which, you are so beautiful, why haven't you been engaged yet? There should be many gentlemen vying to marry you!"
Those families, like her, will give some respect to Princess Baocheng.
Jiang Yuyuan blushed and whispered, "Where are the gentlemen seeking to marry me... I am not worthy of them."
Hearing this, Tang Feiyan chuckled: "Sister-in-law, look, there is such a humble girl."
"Yeah, don't underestimate yourself. I think there are few young men in the capital who are worthy of you." Chu Yin thought to herself. In Jiang Yuyuan's eyes, in fact, only Lu Jingzhuo in the whole capital is worthy of her.
Hearing Chu Yin praising Jiang Yuyuan, Lu Jingrui found it quite amusing. It turned out that this sister-in-law was quite naive. She didn't even realize that Jiang Yuyuan was going to be her eldest brother's concubine.
How come she has no vision...
No, she had been in Qingzhou before and was not familiar with Jiang Yuyuan, so it was normal that she couldn't see it. Moreover, when Jiang Yuyuan stayed in the palace under the pretext of having heatstroke, the eldest sister-in-law went out of the palace again. Naturally, she didn't know that Jiang Yuyuan would try to seduce the eldest brother.
Should he remind her, for the sake of her gift of water chestnuts?
It doesn't seem right.
Jiang Yuyuan won't succeed anyway.
Lu Jingrui decided to watch the show from the sidelines.
Emperor Jianxing was the last to arrive.
When Queen Jiang saw that everyone had arrived, she ordered the palace maids to serve the meal.
The palace is brightly lit, filled with fragrant aromas, surrounded by flowers, and the dishes are exquisite.
The actors sang and danced, and played bamboo and string instruments.
Emperor Jianxing was in high spirits, chatting and laughing with the children, and drinking from time to time.
The men drank strong liquor and the women drank osmanthus wine.
The osmanthus wine in this palace is quite unique, with a golden color, sweet and sour, and a long aftertaste. When Chu Yin drank it for the first time in her previous life, she felt that it was a bit like fruit wine with osmanthus added, and it was very easy to drink.
She likes to drink, and she hasn't drunk it for a long time.
After the banquet, when Emperor Jianxing led a group of people out of the palace to admire the moon, she felt that her steps were a little unsteady.
Lu Jingzhuo glanced at her cheek and asked, "Are you not drunk?"
"Do I look drunk?" Chu Yin asked. She knew she was not drunk, at most she was a little tipsy.
"I don't know, but you blushed."
Chu Yin reached out and touched it. It was a little hot. She looked at Lu Jingzhuo and said, "Your Highness's face is not red."
"I can handle alcohol."
“You don’t usually drink.”
"Yeah, but I won't get drunk even if I drink." For some reason, he was always sober.
In her memory, this was indeed the case. In her previous life, she rarely saw him drink. He only drank a little with his father-in-law during the holidays. After his father-in-law died, he never drank again. Even after her death, he did not drink to relieve his sorrow.
During those eight years, he never gave up politics and never made any mistakes.
He just suffered alone at night.
Chu Yin looked at this face and suddenly felt a little sour at the tip of her nose.
Seeing her staring at him, Lu Jingzhuo asked, "What?"
"I suddenly miss..." Chu Yin blinked slowly, "I miss Your Highness very much." She couldn't act coquettishly, but it would be okay to pretend to be drunk. He couldn't blame her, but only the wine.
Lu Jingzhuo: “…”
"You know nothing," she complained. "You know nothing." She was the only one who knew about their two lifetimes.
Are you drunk?
Otherwise, how could she still act like a spoiled brat? She had changed for a long time.
Lu Jingzhuo said: "Don't drink so much next time."
"I didn't drink much. Am I really drunk?" Chu Yin pretended to be stupid and said vaguely, "I just suddenly wanted to... tell you that I miss you very much."
He was at a loss for words.
He was right in front of her, what was she thinking?
A drunk person's speech is really gibberish.
But he still responded: "I know."
"You understand?" She pulled his sleeve. "Really?"
"Um."
Isn't it just that you miss him?
What don't you understand?
Chu Yin smiled slightly and leaned her head on his shoulder: "I will wait for you."
Wait until he falls in love with her.
He couldn't understand this sentence.
"I'm just going to sleep like this for a while. Don't move, Your Highness. Lean on me and I'll be sober soon." Everyone was watching the moon in twos and threes, and there was nothing wrong with them doing this.
Shouldn't you drink sobering tea to sober up?
But Lu Jingzhuo didn't push her away.
She laughed softly and said coquettishly, "Your Highness is so nice."
The honey-like sound flowed into his ears, and he felt hot all over again.
It's been a long time since I've felt this way.
He couldn't help himself when she acted coquettishly.
Lu Jingzhuo lowered his eyes to look at her rosy cheeks and put his hands around her waist.
The two of them leaned on each other, inseparable. Jiang Yuyuan was burning in the fire and almost bit her lip, but she didn't want to disturb them, so she said to Princess Baocheng, "Aunt, isn't it time to go worship the moon? It's getting late." They had to go back to Xuanning Marquis's Mansion later.
Princess Baocheng didn't pay attention to what was going on there. She was telling her brother about the fun things she experienced during the Mid-Autumn Festival when she was young. When she heard her niece remind her, she said loudly, "Ayin, Feiyan, take Yuyuan to worship the moon quickly. It's getting late, and the Moon Goddess needs to rest."
Chu Yin raised her head and stood up straight after hearing this.
Lu Jingzhuo asked, "Can you go?"
There is a time to act coquettishly. You can't pretend to be drunk all the time.
Chu Yin said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am awake now."
Lu Jingzhuo: “…”
