He frowned slightly and asked Yu Sizhang to stand up.

Chu Yin smiled slightly: "Yu Sizhang, I haven't practiced these two days, so I shouldn't be rusty, right?"

Yu Sizhang said, "No, Crown Princess, you have already mastered the trick. Not to mention two days, ten days will be fine."

Chu Yin was about to practice immediately, but because of the two children, she turned around and urged Lu Jingzhuo: "Your Highness, take Er'er and Zhen'er to ride the horse quickly."

Dong Ling hurriedly brought Zhao Yebai over.

Lu Wei and Lu Zhen's eyes widened: "What a big, white horse!"

Lu Yu was a little scared: "Daddy, you really won't fall?" He grabbed his father's robe with his little hands.

"No." Lu Jingzhuo carried him to the saddle.

Oh, Daddy is taller than the horse, so it should be fine. But Lu Yu still shouted, "Daddy, come quickly."

Lu Jingzhuo first spoke to his daughter: "Father will take you with him later."

"Okay." Lu Zhen nodded.

His father sat in the back, and Lu Yu became bolder and shouted, "Horse, run faster."

Lu Jingzhuo shook the reins lightly.

Connecting spiritually with its master, Zhao Yebai began to run slowly.

The child was so excited that he waved his hands and said, "It moves, it moves, Daddy, the wooden horse won't move, but it moves! It's so fun!"

Infected by his joyful mood, Lu Jingzhuo raised the corner of his lips and put one hand around his son's waist.

Chu Yin saw it from a distance and felt very relieved.

Compared to the previous life, the relationship between father and son is much closer. In this case, even if she...

No, she certainly won't die young!

After riding one round, Lu Wei was still not satisfied and asked his father to take him for another round. Then it was Lu Zhen's turn.

Before getting on the horse, Lu Jingzhuo glanced at Chu Yin.

She didn't go to practice.

Maybe you are worried about the two children?

Compared to her brother, Lu Zhen was calmer. She had no interest in whether the horse ran or not, and because her father was behind her, she was not too afraid. She just touched the horse's mane and asked her father what the horse liked to eat, whether it wanted rice or fruit.

Lu Jingzhuo answered patiently.

After the children's wishes were fulfilled, Chu Yin ordered Xiaodou and Qiniang to take them back to the East Palace.

"I have to go practice, where is Your Highness?"

There was a smile on his face, but no intention of trying to keep him.

Lu Jingzhuo said calmly: "I'll run a few more laps."

"good."

Don't interfere with each other and just practice your own thing.

Seeing her figure going away, Lu Jingzhuo told Dong Ling: "Set up the target."

The target was made of straw rope, with the center marked with vermilion paint, and was placed ten feet away.

Lu Jingzhuo put on the Hetian jade ring, took the ox horn bow, put on the iron-feather arrow, rode his horse while aiming, and then suddenly released his fingers, stopped the horse, and watched the arrow accurately hit the center of the bull's eye.

The eunuchs cheered.

Lu Jingzhuo's heart moved slightly, but he did not look at Chu Yin.

Wasn't the last lesson enough? He was just practicing archery now, and it had nothing to do with Chu Yin.

He reined his horse into a gallop and drew his bow again.

The second arrow hit the bull's eye again, and even knocked down the entire target due to its excessive force.

Chu Yin's lips slightly opened.

No wonder he said holding two children was like drawing a bow.

Not to mention whether the bowstring was easy to pull, she couldn't even lift the heavy black bow.

After appreciating it for a while, Chu Yin continued to practice.

Lu Jingzhuo hit all eight targets and prepared to go back.

After whispering an order to Dong Ling, he walked towards the car first.

Dong Ling ran to Chu Yin and asked, "His Highness is going back to the East Palace. Crown Princess, do you want to practice for a while longer, or go with His Highness?"

Chu Yin looked around the racecourse but couldn't see Lu Jingzhuo.

"Your Highness is already in the car."

Instead of asking himself, he asked the eunuch to ask. Chu Yin said, "Then please wait for a moment, Your Highness. I will leave after I finish riding this half circle."

"yes."

Dong Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead and went to report to Lu Jingzhuo.

He said nothing and did not let the driver go.

Chu Yin asked Yu Sizhang: "When will you leave the palace next year?"

"I entered the palace in February, so I should leave in February as well."

It has only been a few months, but Chu Yin is very satisfied with her performance during this period and feels that Yu Sizhang will definitely not dislike her.

In the future, the two of them will become in-laws, and she will have one more friend.

"I really hope that we will have a chance to meet again after you leave the palace."

Yu Sizhang was usually calm, so he felt quite emotional when he heard this.

The Crown Princess is of noble status but is trapped in the palace. Although she is a lowly female official, she can leave after five years. She is already an old maid at this age and does not need to rush to get married. Instead, she is free.

"If the Crown Princess wishes to see me someday, I will return to the capital as soon as possible."

"You're going to leave the capital by then?" Chu Yin was surprised.

"Yes, I want to travel around the mountains and rivers of Dayue."

It seems that she most likely met Duke Song during her travels.

Chu Yin smiled and said, "Very good. I can't travel around, so I hope to learn from you in the future."

The two of them had already ridden half a circle while chatting and laughing.

Chu Yin wiped the sweat off her face and got into the car.

The man inside closed his eyes and rested.

"Your Highness, please wait for me," she leaned towards the broad shoulder naturally, "Your Highness's practice time is always shorter than mine."

Lu Jingzhuo didn't respond and told the driver to start.

As husband and wife for two lifetimes, the slightest difference can be easily noticed. Chu Yin picked up his right hand: "Your Highness is wearing a ring."

I forgot to pick it up...

He was not used to wearing it on weekdays: "It is useful for archery."

"Can I take a look?"

"Um."

Chu Yin took off the ring.

The finest mutton-fat jade is delicate and moist, with carved patterns. It is not very new and some very tiny scratches can be faintly seen.

She had never seen him wear it before, so she turned it over and over for a while and then put it on her thumb.

Loose.

It can be seen that there is a big difference in the thickness of their thumbs.

She couldn't help but smile.

This action was somewhat cute, and the corners of Lu Jingzhuo's mouth twitched as well, but when he thought of her reaction at the racecourse just now, his smile faded again.

He really couldn't figure Chu Yin out.

Every time he thought she would do this or that, the result always surprised him.

But even if they figured it out, what would it matter? With their identities, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, no matter whether they were compatible or not, were destined to spend their lives together, unless Chu Yin made a serious mistake.

But considering how much she cares about this position, it's impossible.

He looked at her calmly as she played with her ring.

After this day, there was already a light mist in the morning and I often felt cold. The flowers and trees in the yard withered one after another, but the chrysanthemums were the only ones that bloomed vigorously, a brilliant yellow.

The Double Ninth Festival comes at this time.

Compared to the last time he went to Wenshu Monastery, Emperor Jianxing traveled light this time. Apart from the imperial guards and the Jinyiwei leading the way, there were no large flags, and he did not bring any drum and music bands. He only went to Tuer Mountain with the three princes, Princess Baocheng's family, and all the civil and military officials.

After Chu Yin watched everyone leave the palace, she planned to take her two children to Kunning Palace.

Tang Feiyan came with Lu Jingchen. When she saw Chu Yin was about to leave, she hurried to follow.

"Sister-in-law, how are we going to celebrate the festival?"

"I have discussed this with my mother and have decided to hold a banquet at Yinghua Tower."

Yinghua Building is the tallest place in the entire palace, with seven floors. Although it is not as tall as Tuer Mountain, it is not inferior to the small hillside.

"That's also considered climbing high, great!" Tang Feiyan said with a smile, "It's better than going to Tuer Mountain, climbing mountains is tiring."

Chu Yin hummed and didn't want to say more.

Seeing her condescending look, Tang Feiyan's old problem came back.

"Sister-in-law, have you seen Miss Jiang? Oh, Auntie really dotes on her and lets her do whatever she wants, even dressing up as a man... Who would be so arrogant when choosing a husband? She doesn't even look at who she is. She's like diving into a wash basin, she doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

Why did Tang Feiyan suddenly start saying bad things about Jiang Yuyuan?

Chu Yin was surprised, with no expression on her face: "Why do you care about her? She is my aunt's niece, so I will take care of her."

It seems she has no idea.

Although Lu Jingzhuo likes her, Jiang Yuyuan is going to Tuer Mountain with him today, so who knows what she might do. Tang Feiyan said jokingly, "To be honest, sister-in-law, I wanted to be a matchmaker, but Jiang Yuyuan is so stubborn that she doesn't like anyone. I think only someone of my status can be a good match for her!"

Tang Feiyan actually saw through it?

How did she discover this brain melon?

Chu Yin carried the two children into the carriage: "Really? If she has the ability, let her do it. Throughout the dynasties, which prince didn't have a concubine?" She had seen Jiang Yuyuan's dress and had guessed it long ago.

Is this the confidence that comes from being loved by the prince?

Tang Feiyan was shocked.

She was suppressed by Chu Yin's momentum and said awkwardly, "I didn't say she wanted to be a concubine... Sister-in-law, can I ride in the same car with you?" After getting consent, she got in, "I just said that she has high standards and uses my brother as an example."

Chu Yin said she understood, and then glanced at Tang Feiyan: "It's possible that she will fall in love with my second brother, who is also a rare talent."

Tang Feiyan: “…”

impossible!

She had already discovered that Jiang Yuyuan wanted to fall in love with Lu Jingchen.

However...

Is it possible that she failed to seduce Lu Jingzhuo and turned her attention to Lu Jingchen? After all, she has put in so much effort, she can't fail, right?

Tang Feiyan suddenly felt a little uneasy.

At this time, Lu Jingchen was instructing his follower Xin Shi to keep an eye on Jiang Yuyuan's every move.

From Shi Yu, I learned that Jiang Yuyuan already had a lover and had no intention of choosing a husband, so she should not have come to Tuer Mountain.

Since he's here, he must be coming for Lu Jingzhuo.

Lu Jingchen knows this brother who grew up with him very well.

He would never take a concubine.

He was even disgusted with taking concubines, so Jiang Yuyuan couldn't possibly sway her brother, unless...

If this really happened, Jiang Yuyuan would lose her reputation, unable to marry, and could only become her brother's concubine. If her brother refused to do so, what would Princess Baocheng think? She would definitely resent her brother for this.

It would be easy for him to capture Princess Baocheng.

Seeing Xinshi leave quietly, Lu Jingrui raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Jingzhuo beside him.

It looks like there will be a lot of fun today.

Jiang Xian whispered to Princess Baocheng, "Lin'er, Min'er also rarely sees the Crown Prince, you have to let them get closer... The Emperor thinks highly of the Crown Prince, he ordered him to be the regent last time, and he was very satisfied when he came back."

Doesn't she know?

But this nephew is too cold and hard to approach.

"After we climb the mountain, let Lin'er and Min'er treat the prince and his men to a barbecue. I've ordered my servants to bring all the utensils. We'll use the pine branches from Tu'er Mountain to barbecue the meat. It'll be delicious. We'll also drink some chrysanthemum wine. It'll be a wonderful thing in the world."

This made Princess Baocheng a little greedy, and she thought it was feasible.

Jiang Yuyuan was beside Princess Baocheng. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Her eyes fell on Lu Jingzhuo in front of her.

Although he was not a warrior, he had practiced riding and archery since childhood. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, an upright figure, and long limbs. His back alone was pleasing to the eye.

Of course, his identity is even more desirable.

The King of Dai Viet, the future emperor, has the power of life and death, and is the god of the world.

Jiang Yuyuan deliberately fell behind for a distance and cast a charming look at an official in the distance.

The official was her pawn.

He is greedy and bold. It is said that he has flirted with many women and harmed several of them. However, his family is prominent and the officials protect him, so the matter has been covered up until now. His cousin also has a good plan. He uses him, and when the emperor investigates, he will only find out his past misdeeds.

Jiang Yuyuan made a move and rode her horse to catch up with Jiang Lin and Jiang Min.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone stopped. Emperor Jianxing was the first to climb the mountain, accompanied by three princes and Princess Baocheng's family, followed by many officials.

"Lin'er, are you adapting to the Governor's Office?" Emperor Jianxing asked his nephew.

Jiang Linren bowed and said, "I am stupid and I have not yet adapted to the new environment. I am afraid I will need to study for another three to five years."

Emperor Jianxing nodded humbly and said, "I'll ask Commander Ma for advice."

Princess Baocheng took the opportunity to say, "Lin'er's riding and archery skills are average. I think he should ask Jing Zhuo for advice first...Lin'er, Min'er, you guys should grill meat for Jing Zhuo later, and then ask for advice."

"Barbecue?"

"Yes, I brought some barbecue utensils with me. Would you like to try some?"

Emperor Jianxing felt that his teeth were not in good condition and he was afraid that he could not chew well. He stroked his beard and said, "Let the young people gather together to play. I will not interfere." He reminded Lu Jingzhuo, "Remember to teach your two cousins."

Compared with Yanshan Mountain, Tuer Mountain is not very high, but the stone steps spiral upwards and you can't see the end at a glance.

Everyone was very tired when they reached the top of the mountain.

You can climb to a high place and see the distant green mountains and white clouds, which makes you feel relaxed.

Emperor Jianxing waved his hand and ordered officials to compose poems to suit the occasion.

How could the officials miss the opportunity to win the emperor's favor? They presented the poems they had prepared in the past few days.

The top of Tuer Mountain immediately became a poetry gathering.

Most of them were flattering to the emperor and were of little interest, so Jiang Lin and Jiang Min invited the three princes to a pavilion below to eat grilled fish.

The followers had already gathered pine branches and lit a fire.

Lu Jingchen said he would go later, and joked: "You are here to ask big brother for advice on horseback archery, why should I go? My three-legged cat kung fu won't hurt you..." He persuaded Lu Jingrui, "Third brother, you are even less capable, you should just drink tea with me here."

Lu Jingrui said, "It's okay for me to go and listen."

Lu Jingzhuo didn't want to move, but his father had just specifically reminded him that it would be inappropriate not to go, so he followed the two brothers to the pavilion.

Jiang Xian saw some fallen leaves on Lu Jingzhuo's body, so he went over and diligently brushed them off for him.

As soon as he touched the robe, he met Lu Jingzhuo's slightly cold eyes. Jiang Xian quickly withdrew his hand: "It's my uncle who is rude. I treat you as my own family," he looked at Dong Ling, "You take the photo, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yuyuan came running out from somewhere in a panic, called out, "Uncle!" and pulled Jiang Xian's sleeve, wanting to say something.

Jiang Xian was close to Lu Jingzhuo. Jiang Yuyuan turned around and something powdery flew out from her sleeves and was blown towards Lu Jingzhuo by the wind.

Almost invisible, like dust.

But Lu Jingzhuo was quite displeased with Jiang Yuyuan because of her coquettish behavior, and immediately took a few steps outside.

"Yuyuan, why are you so reckless?" Jiang Xian scolded.

Jiang Yuyuan hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'm sorry," and then whispered to Jiang Xian, "Just now, an official suddenly spoke to me and threw something on me. It was him," she pointed into the distance, "I didn't dare tell my aunt, for fear that it would cause a big fuss."

Several people present heard it, and Jiang Xian was shocked: "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"no."

"That's good. You stay with Lin'er and Min'er first. I'll go see what's going on."

Jiang Lin asked a few questions with concern, and then followed Jiang Min to lead the way, leading Lu Jingzhuo and others to the pavilion.

The pine branches were already burning vigorously, with white smoke rising up with a faint, strange fragrance.

Lu Jingrui was surprised: "What did you put there? It smells so good."

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It's no wonder that you didn't know. This is the red pine tree that is unique to Tuer Mountain. The meat roasted with it has a strong flavor and is fresh and delicious. You will know when you and your cousin try it later."

"Really?" Lu Jingrui asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

"venison."

"What about this?"

Only Lu Jingzhuo remained silent.

Although they wanted to ask him for advice, Jiang Lin and Jiang Min did not dare to speak easily.

The smell of pine branches became stronger and stronger, constantly entering his nose. Lu Jingzhuo suddenly felt a little hot all over. He keenly discovered that this heat was the same as when he saw Chu Yin acting coquettishly, and it would give rise to desire.

What's going on?

Is he poisoned?

Jiang Yuyuan happened to sit next to him at this time: "Cousin, I have been looking for an opportunity to apologize for what happened in the palace last time..."

The woman exuded a sweet fragrance and her cheeks were rosy and attractive, which made the heat even stronger.

Lu Jingzhuo stood up suddenly.

"Brother?" Lu Jingrui asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, you guys eat." Lu Jingzhuo walked straight to the top of the mountain.

"If big brother doesn't want to eat, I won't eat either." Lu Jingrui followed him.

The autumn wind is cool, but it can't blow away the heat.

Chu Yin's appearance appeared in his mind.

The look during intercourse.

Delicate, charming, panting, crying in a delicate voice...

It must be poisoned.

Aphrodisiac?

Who put it down? When did it go down?

Is that the cigarette?

No, it's definitely not the smoke. No one else has ever been like him.

While he was thinking, Jiang Yuyuan came after him and said, "Cousin, wait for me..."

Dong Ling stopped her.

Lu Jingzhuo glanced at her coldly and found that her face was still abnormally red.

I was sitting next to him just now, and now I am chasing after him. It would be strange if there is no ghost.

"Cousin, why did you leave?" Jiang Yuyuan was very anxious and pushed Dong Ling with all her strength, "Cousin, don't you want to eat barbecue?"

Although Dong Ling is just a eunuch, he is very strong and unmoved.

Lu Jingrui was very amused and stepped forward and said, "Cousin, didn't your uncle ask you to stay with your two cousins ​​just now? Why are you looking for your eldest brother? Whether your eldest brother eats barbecue or not is none of your business, right?"

Jiang Yuyuan was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Is this Lu Jingrui a follower? Why does he always stay with Lu Jingzhuo?

And...how did Lu Jingzhuo stay awake?

Isn’t that medicine said to be very powerful?

Doesn't it say that whenever a woman appears, the Chinese medicine practitioners will vent their lust without caring about anything?

Why is he...

Is it possible that he didn't inhale much of the powder just now?

Did he avoid it?

Originally, as long as he waited for the drug to take effect, he would just need to hug her for a while, which would be enough for her to move into the East Palace.

Jiang Yuyuan slowly clenched her fingers, it seemed that the plan had completely failed.

She could only do the next best thing and protect herself. When she was thinking about it, she heard Lu Jingzhuo telling Dong Ling: "Catch her, gag her, and take her to the pavilion."

Jiang Yuyuan was extremely shocked and shouted, "Cousin, what did I do wrong?"

Dong Ling took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth, then pulled her hands back and immediately restrained her.

Jiang Yuyuan could no longer move, but her eyes were wide open.

The poetry reading on the mountaintop has not yet ended.

Princess Baocheng saw Lu Jingzhuo and asked curiously, "You finished the barbecue so quickly?"

Lu Jingzhuo sat down calmly and said to Princess Baocheng, "I don't know if Jiang Yuyuan drugged herself or what, she's going crazy... For her reputation, I ordered Dong Ling to arrest her. If you don't want to be implicated by her, you'd better make plans early."

Princess Baocheng was shocked: "What did you say?"

"Auntie, why don't you go and see for yourself? She is in the pavilion."

Jiang Xian was stunned when he heard this.

He got the medicine, which was the same medicine used by the person Jiang Yuyuan seduced, it was an aphrodisiac powder. He had just patted the fallen leaves for Lu Jingzhuo to give Jiang Yuyuan an opportunity to take action, and the pine branches also had soul-absorbing fragrance added to enhance the medicinal properties of the medicine.

The combination of the two can be described as extremely overbearing.

But why does the prince in front of him seem to be unaffected?

Is he a human being?

Jiang Xian was extremely frightened.

Only Lu Jingzhuo knew that his mind was now full of Chu Yin.

But he also knew clearly that it was just a lot of desires.

Desire can be resisted. He never believed that aphrodisiacs could make a person completely lose their mind. If it could, it only meant that the person did not have much reason to begin with, or that he was just going with the flow.

He picked up the tea and took a sip slowly.

I hope the effect of the medicine will almost disappear before returning to the palace, otherwise when he sees Chu Yin, he might just go with the flow.

Shivering Yin Yin: Don’t come over here!!

Let me talk about the update time. I usually check for typos after getting up and then update. It used to be at noon, but now my days and nights are reversed... So it's basically afternoon, so let's temporarily set it at 2 or 3 pm. If I get up early, I'll update at 12 noon.
