The wife sitting on my lap suddenly moved her hips, fluttered her eyelashes and said, "We don't need to talk about this."

She was the one who first mentioned Liu Yuanpan, and now he also wanted to know why he was not pregnant.

"Aren't you questioning Judge Liu?"

Chu Yin said: "It's not that I'm questioning, I'm just..."

Noticing that her face was red, Lu Jingzhuo suddenly realized that she was shy and didn't want to talk.

But he just raised his posture and didn't do anything else.

"We may need it later," he explained.

Even if it is necessary, there is no need to say it so bluntly. Chu Yin really didn't know how he managed to do it without blushing or getting nervous.

"I think we should just let it go. There is no need to follow Judge Liu's method."

"But you never got pregnant," Lu Jingzhuo said, tightening his grip on her waist. "You know best whether I contributed during that time. If you really want a child, you probably can't let nature take its course."

The scene of the two of them sweating in bed on that hot summer day is still vivid in my mind.

Chu Yin was silent for a moment.

This situation in his previous life might not be able to be changed, so no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.

"This incident does not prove that Judge Liu's method is acceptable."

"We'll prove it if we try more."

"..." Chu Yin was a little scared after hearing this. She really didn't want to be so immoderate in the middle of summer or in the cold weather. She was too tired. She quickly splashed some cool water on him, "Your Highness, have you forgotten the misunderstanding before?"

She didn't want children, and neither did he, so there was no point in trying now.

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

After a while, he said, "Wait until later. When you want a child, tell me."

"……Um."

The carriage stopped at the East Palace and he carried her out.

Fortunately, the skirts and gowns at this time of year were thicker, so the stains did not get on Lu Jingzhuo's robe. Chu Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, please go to Chunhui Pavilion."

Her face was still pink even though she was no longer shy. It was not as pale as it was when she was having her period.

Lu Jingzhuo took a look and turned away.

When Queen Jiang heard that her son had just hugged his daughter-in-law, she thought something happened to her daughter-in-law and hurriedly sent someone to ask. Only to find out that she was having her menstrual period. She immediately smiled and asked Xiaodou and Qiniang to take the children back in another car.

Princess Baocheng clicked her tongue twice: "Jing Zhuo was really not outgoing before. I never knew he was such a considerate person..." She looked at Madam Yao, "He's almost as considerate as my cousin's husband."

Her cousin's husband was very kind to her cousin, and the two of them lived a sweet and happy life every day.

Mrs. Yao did not deny that she came here for her husband.

After the two of them said goodbye to Queen Jiang and got into the car, Madam Yao clasped her hands and said, "Cousin," with a serious and apologetic look, "I came to the capital to ask for something."

The word "ask" might sound serious, so Princess Baocheng was surprised and asked, "What can you ask of me?"

Mrs. Yao fell silent again, her eyes red.

Princess Baocheng was impatient and shook her arm vigorously: "Why are you keeping me on suspense? What's so hard to say?"

Mrs. Yao sighed and told him the whole story.

"I know I went too far. I hope you will forgive me, cousin."

Princess Baocheng understood the deep love between them: "I will talk to you, but don't hold your hopes too high. My brother is..."

"Thank you, cousin. You are willing to speak up. It is a great favor to me!" Mrs. Yao held her hand, her eyes moist. "If everyone is as kind as you, this would never have happened."

As for the others, Princess Baocheng was quite cautious: "Everyone should do their part... I will go now."

Madam Yao held her back and said, "We just met with our cousin. How about we wait two days?"

"It's okay, brother won't mind, just wait here." She got out of the car.

Emperor Jianxing was very surprised to hear that his sister had come again.

"I forgot to mention something just now." Princess Baocheng did not lie. She originally wanted to invite Lu Jingzhuo and his wife to visit her mansion.

Emperor Jianxing did not object: "It's just a meal, how can I not allow it?"

"Brother, that would be great. I'll invite them next spring."

It was supposed to be tomorrow, but Chu Yin had her period.

The memory of that time in the East Palace was very vivid. Princess Baocheng was sure that Lu Jingzhuo would not agree to Chu Yin leaving the palace to visit someone at this time.

"It will definitely snow soon. We can only postpone it until next year," Princess Baocheng looked out the window. "But it's beautiful when it snows. I still remember my brother took me out to see the snow once and made a snow lion for me with his own hands."

Emperor Jianxing raised his eyebrows and said, "You were only five or six years old at that time, how could you remember it?"

"It has nothing to do with age. I remember it because my brother treated me well and we had a good relationship!"

Emperor Jianxing smiled and said, "This year I have ordered people to build a big snow lion in the palace. You can come and see it when the time comes."

"I am not a little girl anymore. If you want to invite someone, please invite Er and Zhen to come and see me." Princess Baocheng's eyes turned. "If it snows again this year, we can go hunting. Brother, you haven't gone for a long time, right?"

In Qingzhou, when he was still King Cheng, he would take his eldest son and second son hunting two or three times a year. In addition to strengthening their bodies, it was also to release the natural bellicosity in their blood and the restlessness of wanting to conquer prey.

Emperor Jianxing suddenly became interested and turned to Hezhong, "Make preparations in advance. I..." He thought for a moment, "Next month, let's go hunting at the beginning of the month."

"How many people does Your Majesty plan to take with him?"

"There are only about twenty people. I don't want to mobilize too many troops."

"I understand." He Zhong immediately left the hall and gave the order.

Princess Baocheng coughed lightly and said, "Brother, there is one more thing..."

Seeing her hesitation, Emperor Jianxing had already guessed: "Is it about my cousin?"

The cousin had little contact with him, but had a good relationship with his sister.

"It's not my cousin, it's my cousin's husband." Princess Baocheng walked a few steps closer and put her hands on the table. "You should know that my cousin's husband has been an official for many years and has never made a mistake. This time, he was shaken by the friendship between classmates and accepted a gift... My cousin is very worried about this and wants to ask my brother to be lenient with him."

Yao Zhou?

He doesn't even know about this!

Presumably, something was about to happen in Jiangning, and Mrs. Yao came here first to ask her sister for help.

Emperor Jianxing said: "I will not listen to one side of the story. I have to send someone to Jiangning to investigate."

"We should investigate, but my brother, my cousin is my mother's niece. If my mother were still alive, she would definitely help."

His sister was a woman, and it was easy for her to be soft-hearted. Emperor Jianxing would not do that, but he did not refute her either: "You go back first, and I will consider the matter at my own discretion."

"Thank you, brother." Princess Baocheng said goodbye.

Emperor Jianxing ordered Qin Xiao to go to Jiangning to ask Chu Fangheng about the situation.

If he was right, it must be Yao Zhou's top superior Chu Fangheng who discovered the matter and started investigating. Mrs. Yao saw that something was wrong and was afraid that Chu Fangheng would get to the bottom of it, so she hurried to Beijing for help.

Emperor Jianxing said: "Let's see what Chu Fangheng has planned."

"Yes." Qin Xiao took his leave.

Madam Yao stayed in the princess's mansion for another two days and then returned to Guangde.

The two places are thousands of miles apart, and it's not easy to travel back and forth. Is it really just for a visit? Chu Yin didn't quite believe it after hearing it.

In her previous life, she didn't pay attention to this matter, or rather, she had doubts about it. But because she was her father-in-law's cousin, such an elder, she had no reason to inquire about it. But now, Mrs. Yao's death seemed a little strange.

Hearing the footsteps, Chu Yin put down a piece of regular script written by Liu Xu in her hand and walked to the door.

Lu Jingzhuo said, "Your period hasn't ended yet, so sit down."

"It's been three days, it's okay." However, Chu Yin still sat down as he was told.

She sat specifically at the table where Liu Xu's calligraphy was placed.

It was very conspicuous and Lu Jingzhuo saw it immediately.

He remembered that Chu Yin once mentioned that she liked to collect Liu Xu's calligraphy.

As expected, I usually enjoy it.

Lu Jingzhuo looked away without saying anything.

Chu Yin didn't know if he would take it seriously and really go look for the calligraphy. She was also quite curious, but she definitely wouldn't say it out loud, as that would mean she was asking Lu Jingzhuo for it, and even if she wasn't rejected, she would lose the fun.

Chu Yin watched him wash his hands quietly.

After she finished washing, she asked, "Does Your Highness know why my cousin came to the capital?"

“I don’t know.”

He answered quickly.

"…Your Highness, would you like to take a guess?"

Lu Jingzhuo turned around and looked at her: "You know?"

"I don't know either, but I can't think of the reason."

So let him guess?

Lu Jingzhuo said calmly: "There is no need to care about things that have nothing to do with us."

"It has nothing to do with us, but could it be related to the Queen Mother? We can share her worries."

In fact, he was also curious about Madam Yao's purpose, but not strongly. He didn't expect Chu Yin to care so much. He murmured: "I will ask my mother some other day."

"Okay, thank you, Your Highness." Chu Yin smiled.

The smile was very shallow, and with these words, it seemed a little strange. Lu Jingzhuo walked up to her and said, "It's not a difficult task. You don't have to complain."

"What should I say?" Chu Yin was puzzled. "No matter how difficult it is, I am sorry that Your Highness has to worry about it."

There's no point in talking about it.

However...

He bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble. You can thank me."

Is he asking for a gift, or...

Chu Yin was not sure, so she said tentatively, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

How was this different from "Trouble Your Highness"? He wanted her to act.

He frowned slightly, lifted her chin and kissed her.

He totally ignored who was outside and what time it was. This would have surprised her in the past, but now Chu Yin was a little used to it and just let him do it.

He kissed her and then held her on the table next to him.

In view of his previous behavior, Chu Yin had to remind him: "Your Highness, your period has not yet passed..."

Lu Jingzhuo paused.

With his hands on her sides, he said calmly, "Do I look like this kind of person?"

He definitely wasn't like that before, but it's hard to say now.

Chu Yin blinked: "It's better not."

Like eyes washed by spring water, clear and beautiful, he couldn't help but touch them with his fingertips.

Once when she was asleep, he did have a crazy thought, but it was impossible for him to really have sex with her when she was menstruating. He just... liked kissing her, and he liked kissing more and more.

"You asked me to kiss you once, remember?"

Chu Yin froze.

Why did he suddenly think of this?

"I don't quite remember..." She tilted her head and looked out the window, "It's time for dinner."

He turned her face over and made her look at him: "You were not satisfied with it the first time, so your opinion does not count."

Because the first time he kissed me very lightly, like a dragonfly touching the water, it was hard to satisfy me.

But she didn't want to show that she remembered, so Chu Yin lowered her eyes and remained silent.

His fingers dropped to her chin, and he lifted her face up, not letting her avoid him. He asked, "Just now, how was it?"

He had already mastered the art of handling things, whether it was gentle or strong. Chu Yin answered honestly, "Of course it's good."

"But yours isn't good enough," he said seriously, "Now kiss me."

Chu Yin: You are becoming more and more shameless, have you noticed?

Lu Jingzhuo: I learned it from you before.

Chu Yin: ...
