040

The big tail of the golden fish swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if urging it to move.

Lu Jingzhuo had a headache.

He had never flown a kite himself, and it was a long time ago, probably when he was five or six years old, so he didn't have much memory of it. If he flew a kite rashly, what would he do if the kite fell?

Chu Yin said "looking forward to it", so what she was looking forward to seeing was just the kite flying into the sky, right?

Lu Jingzhuo thought for a moment and pointed at the butterfly kite. "Dong Ling, go and try it first to see if the weather is right for flying it." He glanced at the three people and said, "If it works, I'll fly it for you guys."

As long as daddy is willing, the children didn't ask for much and nodded repeatedly.

Children are easy to coax, but adults are hard to deceive.

Chu Yin immediately guessed that Lu Jingzhuo would not do that, so she used this "delaying tactic".

It's funny and touching at the same time.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know how to fly a kite, he didn't refuse and even wanted to learn by observing Dong Ling flying a kite.

She gently tugged at Lu Jingzhuo's sleeve.

Not knowing what his wife wanted to express, Lu Jingzhuo had no time to think about it. He glanced at the pair of orchid-like hands, and immediately stared at Dong Ling to see how he put the kite up.

Dong Ling entered the palace at the age of eleven and initially worked in the Internal Affairs Bureau, following his superiors to purchase items. He was chosen to be the prince's personal attendant because of his intelligence. He immediately understood the prince's intention, took the butterfly from Lu Zhen, and then ran forward with the reel.

To fly a kite, you must first determine the direction of the wind. Then you must control the string in your hand, retract and release it appropriately, and know how to respond to changes.

Dong Ling was not afraid of failure. He knew how he should demonstrate, so he made the process full of ups and downs and took great efforts to succeed.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he bowed and asked Lu Jingzhuo: "Your Highness, how about I release another one?"

Lu Jingzhuo didn't speak immediately.

Chu Yin didn't know whether he had learned it or not. If he didn't, and the kite fell, it might bring shame to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she suggested, "Why don't you let Dong Ling release the big one as well?" It should be easier to leave the smaller one.

Why did you suddenly change your mind? Lu Jingzhuo raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

She folded her hands at her waist and nodded, "It's because I was inconsiderate and didn't understand Your Highness. Your Highness just finished his class and must be very tired. How could he fly a kite right after arriving?"

She looked like a sensible and wise wife, as if the one who was pouting and dissatisfied just now was not her.

Lu Jingzhuo's eyes flickered, and he looked at her for a moment, then reached out and took the golden fish kite: "I'll fly it."

The tone was firm and unquestionable.

Chu Yin thought, can I really learn it in one go?

She was happy but also a little worried: "Your Highness, are you really not going to take a rest?"

“No need.”

Lu Jingzhuo combed the tail of the kite with his fingers and quickly repeated Dong Ling's movements of flying the kite in his mind.

Compared to horse riding practice, this is not that difficult.

He walked quickly towards the wind.

He has long legs and can walk as fast as he runs.

The kite flew above his head. He held the string and watched the kite as he walked, keeping an eye on its condition at all times.

Her eyes followed her husband's figure, and Chu Yin's heart suddenly rose, and her fingers clenched involuntarily.

The two children, however, had no idea of ​​their parents' thoughts. They followed their father and shouted, "Fly up, fly up!"

The kite finally slowly flew higher and higher, like a fish swimming in the blue sea.

The colorful tail is fully stretched out, like a rainbow.

The two children cheered loudly.

Lu Jingzhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the first time in my life that I feel nervous about such a small matter.

He walked back to Chu Yin, handed her the reel, and said calmly, "Here you go."

It seemed like it didn't take him any effort.

But Chu Yin already understood the whole process. She gently pinched the back of his hand and said sweetly, "Your Highness is amazing!"

The corners of his lips curled up at this.

This was the second time he smiled in front of her, but it was only a flash in the pan, and he quickly stopped smiling: "I'll go help Er release that swallow."

With the experience from the first time, this time it was smoother and took less time.

Lu Wei pulled his father's sleeve and said, "Dad, can you go higher?"

Lu Jingzhuo slowly let out the string for him until the kite became a tiny black dot. Lu Wei jumped up and said, "Ah, I can't see it anymore! I can't see it anymore!"

Chu Yin really didn't know what the point of not being able to see the kite was.

If you can't see this golden fish, you can't appreciate its brilliant colors.

"Your Highness." She called him.

Lu Jingzhuo came over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Nothing, I just want Your Highness to come with me," she blinked, "My hands are a little sore."

How sore could your hands be in just such a short while?

It feels like I'm seducing him.

However, Lu Jingzhuo still did as she wished, held her hand and helped her pull the string.

Chu Yin spoke from time to time, causing him to lower his head and listen, rubbing his ears against hers.

Two children were chattering and running around in the front.

The wind was still strong, but there was no chill at all.

At first he agreed to Chu Yin only because he was a husband and a father, and he felt it was his responsibility to meet her request, but at this moment, he felt that it was good to do so once in a while.

The sound of rumbling cars suddenly reached his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

Lu Jingzhuo looked up and found that it was Lu Jingrui passing by in a car.

Lu Jingrui did not expect to meet Lu Jingzhuo and his family at the entrance of Yinghua Building.

The sun really rose in the west, and his elder brother actually came out to fly a kite. He was as surprised as when he saw Lu Jingzhuo go to pick up Chu Yin during the last Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Brother, sister-in-law is in a good mood," he hurriedly got out of the car to salute, and said with a smile, "I just went to the Yu Garden to appreciate the chrysanthemums..." He raised his head to take a look at the kite, "This Jinyu kite is quite good."

It was not appropriate to be so intimate at this time, so Chu Yin pulled her hand away and smiled slightly, "Third brother, can you fly a kite?"

"A little bit. I played it when I was a kid."

Chu Yin came up with an idea and looked at Lu Jingzhuo: "Your Highness, how about letting my third brother play with this kite?"

It made Lu Jingrui sound like a child.

At this age, he is no longer interested in flying kites, but Lu Jingzhuo still went there.

Lu Jingrui caught it with his left hand.

Chu Yin's eyes flashed, and she took the opportunity to say, "Third brother, you are really left-handed. You even use your left hand to fly a kite."

When asked this in front of Lu Jingzhuo, Lu Jingrui didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Lu Jingzhuo said frankly: "Jingrui's right hand was injured and he can't use any strength."

It was easy to expose this matter.

Chu Yin was very surprised. She thought Lu Jingzhuo would be as secretive about this matter as her mother-in-law.

It turns out he is not.

Lu Jingrui's heart sank inexplicably.

Chu Yin showed a concerned expression: "How can the injury be so serious that you can't even fly a kite?"

Before Lu Jingzhuo could answer, Lu Jingrui spoke first, "When I was young, I accidentally fell into a trap and was stabbed by a pitchfork... It's no big deal. I've long been accustomed to using my left hand, which I feel is more convenient than my right hand."

Listen to this.

It’s no wonder that my mother-in-law and Lu Jingzhuo feel guilty, this man is really considerate.

Chu Yin sighed softly: "No wonder you can't practice archery, it turns out there are other reasons. Third brother, why did you lie to me and say you were timid? You don't look like a timid person at all."

Lu Jingrui: “…”

"Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?" Chu Yin continued with her plan.

"It's an old injury from many years ago. There's no need."

"You used to live in Qingzhou. No matter how good the doctors in Qingzhou are, they are not as good as the imperial physician. You should give it a try," Chu Yin turned to ask Lu Jingzhuo, "What do you think, Your Highness? If it is cured, it is better to be able to use both hands than one hand."

The third brother was injured, and it was because he, as an elder brother, did not take good care of him. Lu Jingzhuo pondered: "You can give it a try, Jingrui, let Ma Yuanzheng take a look at you tomorrow."

Since his elder brother had spoken, Lu Jingrui had no choice but to agree.

But whether the hand is good or not depends entirely on him.

If he says it's not good, then even if the gods from heaven come down to earth it will be useless.

It's just a little troublesome. Lu Jingrui glanced at Chu Yin secretly. It's true that his sister-in-law cares about him, but this is really a case of doing good things with bad intentions. It would be better to be indifferent to him, just like his father, second sister-in-law and others.

However, who really cares about him in his life?

The concern of Queen Jiang and Lu Jingzhuo was earned by his flattery and self-harm.

What about sister-in-law’s?

Why is she like that?

Lu Yu and Lu Zhen saw their uncle and ran over to pay their respects.

"Uncle San can fly a kite?" Lu Yu pointed at the swallows in the sky. "Can Uncle San fly a very small kite like Daddy?"

My son is very obsessed with the size of the kite.

"Sure." Lu Jingrui was a little confused by Chu Yin's words just now, so flying a kite was a good opportunity to calm down.

He slowly let the line out.

The broccoli was getting smaller and smaller, and Chu Yin was a little worried.

"The kite is very big. If it flies too far, will the string break?" she asked Lu Jingzhuo.

“Probably not.”

"What if it breaks? Your Highness, can you help me put it back together again next time?

I don’t know when the next time will come. Lu Jingzhuo said, “We’ll talk about it later.”

Really, I don’t even know how to coax her.

Chu Yin stepped forward to stop Lu Jingrui: "Third brother, forget it, it's not good if the string breaks." Then she said to her son, "Er'er, your swallow kite is already small enough. This kite belongs to me, and I don't like it to turn into a black spot."

She was afraid that if the string broke, the kite would fly away and be lost, or that it would fall and be damaged.

It was Lu Jingzhuo who put it there for her.

Hearing this, Lu Jingrui reeled in the string again, explaining to Chu Yin, "Actually it won't break. This string is made of cowhide and silkworm silk, which is extremely strong and cannot be bought outside... Did your sister-in-law's kite break before?"

When she was young, her brother took her to fly kites a few times. Chu Yin said, "I've seen other people's kites break."

Lu Jingrui smiled and said, "You are so nervous because you thought it was your sister-in-law's fault." He handed the reel to her and said, "Take it, sister-in-law."

The reel is quite big, and my sister-in-law has thin fingers, so she can't hold it steadily.

Before Chu Yin answered, Lu Jingzhuo held her hand first: "Let me do it."

Lu Jingrui understood the situation and said, "I won't bother my elder brother and his wife anymore." Then he said goodbye and left.

Chu Yin watched him get into the car and said to Lu Jingzhuo, "Third brother is so pitiful. One of his hands became useless at such a young age. I don't think Dr. Ma can cure him. Let's ask another doctor to try. He may be able to recover in three to five years."

She hated him so much when she thought about Lu Jingrui seizing her son's throne and arresting the Chu family in the future.

Let him get more injections and suffer more!

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

Qin Xiao quickly found evidence of Wei Anzhong's crime, as well as the matter of Jiang Xian buying medicine.

However, Wei Anzhong can be handed over to the Dali Temple for trial, but Jiang Xian...

After all, he is his brother-in-law, and it would not sound good if the news got out. However, Emperor Jianxing could forgive Jiang Xian's mistake in buying medicine, but he could not forgive him for conspiring with Jiang Yuyuan to deceive his sister.

When Emperor Jianxing learned that his sister was to be married to Jiang Xian, he was extremely displeased.

Jiang Xian was just an ordinary person in the capital city where there were many talented people. However, his sister was a princess and was as beautiful as a flower. Unfortunately, he was a vassal king and could not object to the marriage. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he made Jiang Xian the Marquis of Xuanning to compensate his sister.

Who would have thought that he would have other intentions?

Knowing clearly that his sister treated Jiang Yuyuan as her daughter, he did not stop Jiang Yuyuan, but helped her and played his sister around. It was obvious that he was still dissatisfied in his heart.

Emperor Jianxing summoned Princess Baocheng and told her about this.

Princess Baocheng was puzzled: "He helped Yuyuan hide this from me?"

Jiang Xian was always obedient to her, so why would he do such a thing? Moreover, he treated Jiang Yuyuan very cruelly and sent her to a nunnery.

Are they really a gang?

"How could I lie to you?" Emperor Jianxing played with a delicate jade cicada on the table. "Shanhui, I don't think you like him... Could I be wrong?" If she really liked this husband, she would not have mentioned him so rarely.

Loving someone is impossible.

Before she married into the Jiang family, she cried for many days, but she could not get her father's love, so she could only compromise.

She was very clear about her situation. Under the circumstances at that time, a princess like her was not even as good as the daughters of powerful and noble families.

With this mentality, twenty years passed.

Later, when her brother came to the capital, she did not separate from Jiang Xian. First, she was used to it, second, they had two children, and third, Jiang Xian changed very quickly and became considerate, gentle and attentive to her.

But I didn’t expect…

Princess Baocheng clenched her handkerchief: "Of course I believe my brother, but I don't understand why he is like this... Brother, why can't he and Yuyuan live a peaceful life?" With a brother to rely on, what is there to be dissatisfied about?

All she wanted to do was maintain a good relationship with her brothers, but they ended up holding her back!

"'Greedy' is enough to explain it. What are you going to do now?"

"Let me think about it, brother."

"good."

Princess Baocheng returned to her mansion.

Jiang Xian didn't know about this, so he came up to massage his wife's shoulders and said, "Shan Hui, why are you going to the palace again?"

"I've just finished chatting with my brother, what else can I say?"

Jiang Xian felt that she seemed to be in a bad mood, so he half squatted down and tapped her leg.

Looking down, I can see some white hair.

Princess Baocheng is thirty-seven this year, and Jiang Xian is in his early forties.

Princess Baocheng didn't want to be separated easily after being married for so many years. She turned on her toes and said, "My husband, you sent Yuyuan to a nunnery. Aren't you afraid that she will be bullied? I heard that people in nunneries bully new people, too."

"She has it all her own fault. Who made her do such a thing?" Jiang Xian sneered, "Let her learn a lesson." But he was gentle when he called her name, "Shan Hui, don't think about her anymore. She is a heartless person. Don't worry about her."

Princess Baocheng felt a little cold in her heart.

If they were a group, Jiang Xian would be really ruthless.

"I'm not thinking about her. I'm wondering where she got the powder."

Jiang Xian's expression changed slightly, but he soon forced a smile: "Everyone has gone to Xuzhou, why do you still care about these things? Shanhui, if you still feel unhappy, I will accompany you to leave the capital and travel around?"

"You are an official, how come you have time?"

"For you, I would even quit my job as an official. As long as you are happy, that's all."

Princess Baocheng smiled.

She actually wanted to hear Jiang Xian confess.

But he would only cover it up by being nice to her.

Is this really "good"?

He pretended to be nice to her, and everything he did was for power. He didn't really like her, otherwise how could he team up with Jiang Yuyuan and make her a complete fool?

Princess Baocheng suddenly brushed his hand away: "Jiang Xian, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, where did Yuyuan get the powder?"

"What opportunity?" Jiang Xian frowned, "Shanhui, why bother with something that's already over?" He wanted to hug her, "Yuyuan is ignorant and has let you down, but don't worry about her anymore..."

"Shut up!" Princess Baocheng was completely disappointed and pushed him away. "Do you really think I don't know that you made the powder? Jiang Xian, you are so good. Since my brother ascended the throne, your Jiang family has gained so much. Don't you know? What are you? Don't you know yourself? You are not satisfied with being a marquis, and you conspire with Yuyuan? What? You want Yuyuan to be the crown princess and let her support you, right? You have disliked me for a long time, right?"

"Shanhui, what are you talking about? Don't let your imagination run wild." Jiang Xian's heart was pounding, but he denied it.

The same character as Jiang Yuyuan!

At this point, he still refused to admit it. Princess Baocheng shouted: "My brother has already investigated everything. Why are you still pretending? Get out of here." She picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on him. "Get out!"

The two children heard their parents quarreling and hurried over, only to see their ferocious father and furious mother.

Princess Baocheng said coldly: "Jiang Xian, I want to divorce you!"

The farmers were already preparing for the next round of sowing, so Emperor Jianxing did not delay any longer and ordered Lu Jingzhuo and Chu Yin to go to the six major counties the next day.

Chu Yin explained to the children that she was going to leave the palace in the evening.

Lu Yu and Lu Zhen had been separated from their father before, and now they had to add a mother to the mix. They felt aggrieved. Lu Zhen said, "Why don't you take us with you? My brother and I want to go too."

"Last time, Mom and you were going out for fun, but this time it's different. Mom and Dad are going to do some work."

"What is the office?"

"I'm doing things just like my dad is attending a class... Is dad rarely at home?"

"Yeah." The two children nodded.

"I'm going out on business this time and won't be able to come home in time, so it'll take a month," Chu Yin rubbed the heads of the two children, "Mom promises that I'll spend more time with you when I come back, okay?"

They didn't quite understand how long a month was, they just felt a little sad and didn't say anything for a while.

Chu Yin winked at Lu Jingzhuo.

Lu Jingzhuo frowned slightly. He was not good at coaxing children at all.

But the two children looked a little depressed, and his wife seemed helpless, so he had no choice but to say, "Er'er, Zhen'er, if you are obedient and wait for Daddy and Mom to come back, then your father can promise you one thing, anything."

"Really?" Lu Wei's eyes widened. "Then I want to ride the horse again! Ride three laps, no, ride five laps!"

"good."

"I want to hear daddy tell me stories." My father only told me stories once, but it was not enough.

"good."

The two children were immediately satisfied.

As expected, Lu Jingzhuo had to step in. A little favor could buy off his son and daughter.

Queen Jiang knew that they were going to leave the palace, and said to Chu Yin, "I will help you look after Er'er and Zhen'er, or bring them to Kunning Palace. You and Jing Zhuo don't have to worry about it."

"Thank you, mother. Now I am relieved."

Because he was going out for an inspection, Lu Jingzhuo only brought twenty imperial guards, two imperial doctors and ten secret guards. Before leaving, he talked with Lu Jingchen and Emperor Jianxing in the Qianqing Palace for a while, and then took Chu Yin out of the palace.

There was something that Lu Jingchen had been holding back for a while, so he asked in a low voice, "Brother, sister-in-law, did you know that aunt is getting a divorce?"

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

Chu Yin: “…”

The two of them clearly had no idea. Lu Jingchen explained, "My cousin Jiang told me that he was worried about how to mediate and asked me to help. But when I went there, I was turned away. It seems that Aunt is determined to get a divorce. Why don't you go and try to persuade her too?" He went there yesterday to make a contribution. If he could persuade her, Aunt would remember his kindness. But he didn't expect that he couldn't even get in. He knew that the two were determined to get a divorce, so he didn't mind sharing it with Lu Jingzhuo and his wife.

Lu Jingzhuo roughly guessed that it was related to Jiang Yuyuan's matter.

Maybe Jiang Xian was also involved, which is why my aunt was so furious.

He said, "That's my aunt's decision. I won't interfere."

Chu Yin was anxious to ask: "Why does Auntie want to divorce? What happened between her and Uncle?"

What's happening?

How come so many things happened during this period that never happened in previous lives? !

What a big melon~
