Seeing that he didn't respond, Chu Yin stopped talking suddenly: "Your Highness, are you listening?"

"Um."

"Your Highness, no comment?" She was also Lu Jingzhuo's future mother-in-law.

Lu Jingzhuo said calmly: "Seeing is believing."

All I said just now was in vain.

However, he has always been rational, so his words were not abrupt. But Chu Yin was not interested in continuing to talk. She covered herself with the quilt and said, "Riding a horse tomorrow will be very tiring. I want to rest early today." She made this clear because she had been having sex too many times recently, and she couldn't go to bed early without reminding him.

Of course Lu Jingzhuo understood.

She gave up on having children in order to learn horse riding.

Different bed, different couple.

In the Prince Jin's Mansion, Lu Jingchen was discussing matchmaking with Tang Feiyan.

"I've thought about it and decided that we can't let your cousin show up. It's too obvious... I'm afraid Father will be unhappy."

He wanted to get the position of crown prince, and he tried his best to show it in front of his father. But if he let someone from the Tang family marry Jiang Yuyuan, it would be "Sima Zhao's intention", and his father would not like him to be so blatant.

"We have to find someone else. We can't drag you, me, and your family into this."

Tang Feiyan snuggled in his arms: "I'll listen to you. I'm not impulsive now. You see, I always discuss it with you first."

"Okay, you have to keep it up," Lu Jingchen rubbed her hair to encourage her, and then sighed, "But this matter is not so easy to solve. Didn't you hear that Miss Jiang doesn't want to get married, otherwise Auntie wouldn't be so troubled."

Tang Feiyan smiled: "Husband, you always scold me, but in this respect you are much dumber than me!"

"What do you mean?"

"There is no girl who doesn't want to get married. Let me tell you, she really knelt for a long time when she was worshipping the moon that day. I can be sure that she just said she didn't want to get married."

"Then why did she lie? Couldn't she just ask my aunt to find her a good husband?"

"She just wants to please her aunt. She pretends to be unmarried and still wants to be filial. Her aunt will love her more. Besides, it doesn't take much to say a few sweet words. When she finds her ideal husband, she can say that she did it to satisfy her aunt's wish."

Lu Jingchen nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense, but this matter is still tricky. First, the family backgrounds have to be compatible, and second, Miss Jiang has to like him. It's not easy." He didn't know if there was such a suitable young man among the families he had made friends with.

"What kind of family background does Jiang Yuyuan have? Any young man in the capital can be a good match for her. I can see from your eager attitude that as long as the young man can please Jiang Yuyuan, your aunt will definitely agree." Tang Feiyan's eyes turned, "'A good girl is afraid of a clinging man', find a man who has means and can coax the girl."

Once it's done, Princess Baocheng will be relieved and will definitely be grateful to them. And Jiang Yuyuan will follow her husband's family and will of course obey them. In the future, she can persuade Princess Baocheng to support them.

Lu Jingchen groaned: "To win people's favor, the young master must at least have an outstanding appearance."

"Yes, I must have a banished immortal like you, my husband!"

His wife is still very cute as long as she doesn't cause trouble. Lu Jingchen smiled and pinched her face: "You are so kind even for no reason. Okay, today I will do whatever you say." She took the remedy and was anxious to get pregnant.

But children are indeed necessary.

If they have no children, then my father will never waver in the matter of succession.

Unfortunately, his elder brother already had a legitimate son. Even if he gave birth to a son, he would not be able to defeat his elder brother in this aspect. At most, they would be on par with each other.

After all, the difference is one of identity.

Lu Jingchen sighed secretly.

The sky gradually brightened, a faint orange light shone through the window, and the sun was about to rise.

Chu Yin suddenly woke up.

Maybe it was because I went to bed early last night and was thinking about practicing horse riding, so I got up much earlier than usual.

But at this moment, Lu Jingzhuo was no longer in the East Palace.

Chu Yin casually put on a coat and walked to the window.

After autumn, the corners of the yard would be filled with fallen leaves every night, layer upon layer. If they were not swept, my son would definitely step on them when he saw them.

The breaking sound made him happy.

My daughter doesn't like to be stepped on, she is a little glutton.

Chu Yin raised her head and looked towards the pomegranate tree.

The pomegranates are finally ripe and hanging red on the branches.

Now that must be sweet.

The last time she tried to get Lu Jingzhuo to eat pomegranates came to her mind, and she always felt a little regretful.

Firstly, we didn't share the same suffering, and secondly, he had too few expressions, so I really didn't know what it felt like to eat sour pomegranates.

She may never see it in her lifetime.

However, she would never have such curiosity in her previous life, it was as naive as a child... Perhaps it was because she knew that he would eventually like her that she dared to tease him.

Chu Yin withdrew her gaze and called the palace maid to come in.

Lian Xuan walked quickly: "Why did you get up without making any noise?"

"I've slept enough," Chu Yin opened her arms so that they could get dressed. "Ask them to make a bowl of crab meat noodles for breakfast."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, crabs become fatter and fatter day by day, and it is the right time to taste them.

Lian Xuan smiled and said, "You should tell me earlier, it will be troublesome to do it." He hurried out.

Honeysuckle teased: "Lian Xuan is still considerate of those chefs, but he doesn't know that they all steal food and eat all the greasy food." There is no cook who doesn't steal food, and the leftover scraps all go into their own stomachs.

Chu Yin smiled when she heard it.

Speaking of stealing, there were many people who stole things in the palace. Not to mention the chefs, the horse breeders would steal from the horse food, the flower growers would steal from the seedlings, and the tailors would steal from the fabrics.

After she became a spirit, she saw countless things like this.

However, "too clear water will have no fish", and there were too many people in the palace, and no one could do everything by themselves. Sometimes they would turn a blind eye, but big mistakes would not be tolerated, such as stealing rice from the people, stealing silver from the national treasury, and the previous one who stole treasures and burned down the library. These were all intolerable.

Chu Yin picked up the mirror and looked at her face: "Let me comb my hair into a single spiral. I'm going to go horseback riding today."

"yes."

By the time she had finished dressing up, the crab meat noodles were served.

The steam is rising and the fragrance is filling the nose.

With one chopstick, you will find the snow-white crab meat and the fried crab roe, which is extremely delicious.

Chu Yin ate with great satisfaction.

After resting for a while, she planned to practice martial arts.

Riding a horse is not an option, but the martial arts skills must not be abandoned. I vow to live until I am old and gray.

Just when she was about to change her clothes, a message came from her mother's family saying that her brother and Miss Dou were very compatible, so her mother wrote a letter to inform her father of the matter and waited for his response. If he agreed, the marriage would be settled immediately.

After reading it, Chu Yin felt that the matter was set in stone.

In his previous life, his father had agreed to the Wang family, so how could he object to the Dou family?

Chu Yin put the letter away and went to change his shorts.

Needless to say, the two children would follow her whenever she practiced her skills, and would often fall over because of this.

But the children are not afraid of pain and get up immediately after falling.

At noon, Chu Yin asked Xiaodou to climb the ladder and pick six pomegranates.

Lu Zhen was very happy and was waiting to eat.

The pomegranate flesh is red and very sweet.

The mother and her two daughters ate two pomegranates, and she peeled another small bowl for Lu Jingzhuo.

After sending the two children away, she told Ren Dong: "Ask the kitchen to make an extra plate of soft and fragrant cakes and a plate of snowflake crisps."

Honeysuckle was puzzled: "Are you going to have lunch?"

"No, I took it to the racecourse."

Honeysuckle: “…”

"I'm afraid it's a bit choking to eat just cakes, so bring a pot of flower tea."

Honeysuckle was already full of doubts: "Yes."

Chu Yin picked out an orange riding suit with orchid embroidery patterns and prepared to put it on later.

When Lu Jingzhuo entered the hall, she just came out from inside.

"Your Highness, would you like to taste the freshly picked pomegranate?"

Bad memories are always remembered vividly. Lu Jingzhuo immediately thought of the sour taste and flatly refused: "No."

Chu Yin felt a little embarrassed and almost wanted to pout.

Lu Jingzhuo turned around and washed his hands.

She looked at his slender back, thought for a moment, walked forward and said, "It's cooked."

She didn't mean to play tricks this time.

Lu Jingzhuo glanced at her.

She held a sky-blue glazed ten-sided bowl in her hands, her expression serious: "I, Er'er, and Zhen'er have all tried it just now. It's very sweet."

The fruit flesh in the bowl was indeed different in color from the pink and white one before, it was a very deep red, but Lu Jingzhuo didn't say he would eat it, nor did he say he didn't want to eat it, he just wiped his hands slowly.

The jade-colored handkerchief formed deep wrinkles in his palm.

She was only half a foot away from him, so it would be easy for her to take one and put it in his mouth.

Could he be waiting for her to feed him?

Is it possible?

It's unlikely no matter how you think about it.

Chu Yin was hesitant.

After wiping his hands, he looked down again, and their gazes met, like two handfuls of lake water colliding, splashing up waves and then returning to calm.

After a while, he took the bowl from her hand.

Chu Yin looked up at him, unable to guess what he meant.

Do you want her to feed you?

He won’t say anything!

"Is it sweet?" she asked.

"Um."

Much sweeter than last time.

She certainly didn't lie to him.

The palace maids brought the food and the two sat down to eat.

Although she mentioned riding horses to him last night, he did not ask again.

However, the two plates of pastries sent from the kitchen made him take a second look.

Chu Yin explained: "It's not for eating now."

Of course he knew.

She never tried pastries for lunch, so that was a little strange.

Chu Yin further explained: "I am planning to treat Yu Sizhang to a meal when I learn horse riding later."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

After dinner, Chu Yin began to prepare to go to the racecourse.

Wear riding clothes, boots, knee pads and hand guards.

Lu Jingzhuo glanced at her before leaving, but she was so busy that she didn't even notice him.

The orange riding suit on her body showed off her curves and was so bright and eye-catching that one couldn't take their eyes away.

He stared for a while and walked out.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Yin also got ready to set off.

The two children saw their mother and cried out, "Mom, what kind of clothes are these?"

"Wear a riding suit when riding a horse."

Lu Wei shouted, "Mom is going to ride a big horse? I want to ride one too!"

Chu Yin touched his head and coaxed him, "I'll teach you when I learn it. Just wait patiently."

Stop the car and go straight to the racecourse.

Yu Sizhang is already waiting.

She was wearing a slate blue riding suit and her hair was tied up, looking very heroic.

Chu Yin suddenly understood why she didn't recognize Yu Sizhang immediately when she first saw him.

In her previous life, she had been trapped in the palace after becoming a spirit. She only saw Yu Sizhang in the palace before her daughter got married. The wife of Duke Song in her memory was not so heroic. Firstly, it might be because of her dress. Secondly, she had a good relationship with Duke Song. She had become more feminine and gentle, and her demeanor had changed slightly.

"Yu Sizhang, thank you for troubling you today." Chu Yin held Lian Xuan's hand and got out of the car.

"You are so polite, Princess." Yu Sizhang stepped forward and bowed, "You are very punctual."

It is the end of the Wei hour, it is not too late at all.

"It's not good to keep you waiting for too long. Besides, people should not go back on their words." Chu Yin noticed that her lips were a little dry, perhaps because of the wind in this empty place. She told Lian Xu, "Pour a cup of scented tea for Yu Sizhang."

Lian Xuan opened the lunch box and poured some tea.

Yu Sizhang then discovered that there was not only tea but also cakes in the food box.

She couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Chu Yin smiled and said, "Yu Sizhang, I have to tell you that I have never ridden a horse before. I am afraid that it will be very difficult for you to teach me, so I brought some snacks. We can take a short break in the middle, and then you can continue teaching me."

He was very humble and thoughtful, which surprised Yu Sizhang.

It turns out that the Crown Princess has such a personality.

Yu Sizhang also smiled: "I will do my best to teach the Crown Princess and not let her down."

"Okay, let's get started."

The vast expanse of green outside the window gradually turns yellow with the autumn.

With more leaves falling from the trees, the sky is no longer as dark as in summer, so the daytime is brighter than usual.

Lu Jingzhuo glanced outside, but suddenly he couldn't take his eyes away.

I pictured her in her riding suit.

What is she doing at this time?

Are you riding a horse or eating cakes with Yu Sizhang?

She praised Yu Sizhang's riding skills, but could her body really handle it? She was afraid that after riding for a while, she would be unable to hold on and would start groaning.

Lu Jingzhuo had no doubt that she would feel sore all over at night.

Thinking of this, he picked up his pen and wrote a line of words on the rice paper and handed it to Dong Ling.

Dong Ling took a look and found that it was the name of an ointment, and was quite surprised.

"Are you injured?"

Lu Jingzhuo shook his head and signaled him with his eyes to go to the Imperial Hospital to get it.

But Dong Ling was afraid that he had failed in his duty and didn't even know that the Crown Prince was injured, so he asked again: "You are not injured, what ointment do you need? Don't hide it from me! Where are you injured? When did you get hurt?"

Today, the strict Minister Tao was giving a lecture. He had just noticed that Lu Jingzhuo was distracted. Adding to this incident, he was quite dissatisfied and said loudly, "Your Highness, you need to pay attention to two things when listening to a lecture: your ears and your heart. If your heart is not here, your ears will not listen carefully. If your heart and ears are not focused, you will not be able to remember, and even if you remember, you will not be able to remember for long. Of the two, paying attention to your heart is the most important. If your heart is there, how can your ears not be there? But where did I go wrong? Please point it out, Your Highness!"

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

He had attended classes for more than three years, and this was the first time he was scolded in the classroom!

Lu Jingzhuo: I have paid a lot.

Chu Yin: ???
