054

cloudy.

By the morning, it was still dark in the hall, with no light visible.

Lu Jingzhuo stood beside the bed and looked at Chu Yin for a while, then turned and walked outside.

His expression remained the same as usual, with no change, but Dong Ling still clearly felt that something was wrong.

For example, just now the prince forgot to wash up first and sat down at the eight-immortal table.

It seems that he is worried.

Could it be that he had a quarrel with the Crown Princess?

As the thought flashed through his mind, he became extremely careful.

After dinner, Lu Jingzhuo put on his cloak and went to Chunhui Pavilion.

His chest felt stuffy and strange. He was unhappy yesterday because Chu Yin was considering learning archery, but a whole night had passed and this feeling should have completely disappeared.

He doesn't think of himself as a calculating person.

Why are you still unhappy?

He looked out the window at the sky which was gradually getting brighter.

Maybe at that moment he was quite confident and felt that Chu Yin would not refuse.

After all, she didn't dislike her sister-in-law's archery skills, let alone his archery skills that she praised as "the best in the world"? As a result, Chu Yin didn't agree immediately, and he felt frustrated.

He reached out and pinched his eyebrows, then let out a gentle breath.

It's really not a good thing to start caring about someone.

He knew this principle better than anyone else, and he had firmly believed that he would never be in such a situation. Who would have thought...

He closed his eyes and temporarily put Chu Yin out of his mind.

After the cold winter came, Queen Jiang was considerate of her daughter-in-law and completely exempted her from the morning and evening visits. Chu Yin was able to sleep until noon that day.

She was already having trouble sleeping because of Madam Yao's matter. Who would have thought that Lu Jingzhuo would mention archery at that time? Because of some small thoughts, she did not accept it immediately. She felt a little regretful when she woke up.

It cannot be denied that she was getting too aggressive and when she saw that he showed a little bit of interest, she wanted more.

That's right, who doesn't want to hear sweet words, but she ignored Lu Jingzhuo's original character.

I don’t know if he will be unhappy.

He shouldn't, right?

That time in Nanyang County, she asked him to "be careful about your behavior", but he didn't get angry. Later, he took the initiative to coax her. This time, she only said "consider it", and didn't even say she refused. How could he be angry about this?

Chu Yin practiced some martial arts in the house, and then recited the "Three Character Classic" to the two children.

In her previous life, her son would have to wait until the year after next, when he was five years old, to ask a lecturer to give him enlightenment and instruction. In this life, she did not plan to do it earlier.

Children have a hard life once they start school, and she wanted her sons to live a carefree life for a dozen more months so that she could teach them slowly and enjoy spending time with them.

At noon, when Lu Jingzhuo came back, she brought him some hot tea.

"Warm yourself up, Your Highness."

The wife in front of him was wearing a red peony flower-patterned gown with golden sleeves and a smile on her face, like a flower blooming in the sunshine.

He took the tea, and what she said last night flashed through his mind again.

"Think about it."

She had already heard from her younger siblings that there were light bows that did not require much strength.

Why should she even consider it?

It's not that you really don't want him to teach you, right?

But that day she followed him, watched him hunt, and praised his archery skills...

Could it be that she was really just afraid that the bow was too heavy and would hurt her fingers?

As he thought about it, he looked at the pair of white hands.

Chu Yin was talking about the children: "Er saw that the weather was bad in the morning, so he hoped that it would snow heavily. He also wanted to see how to make a snow lion... Zhen asked if he could make a cute rabbit."

"There's nothing that can't be piled up," Lu Jingzhuo instructed Dong Ling, "You can do it when it snows."

Dong Ling said: "Yes."

After finishing the tea, he suddenly held her hand.

Chu Yin thought he wanted to be intimate.

He now often kisses her when he has nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, this time he didn't do that, he just played with her fingers very seriously.

From the base of the finger to the tip, touch each finger one by one.

Chu Yin was a little confused.

She didn't know why he suddenly became so interested in her hands.

Her hands were quite beautiful, slender and straight, like spring bamboo shoots, but it was not the first time that Lu Jingzhuo had seen them.

Chu Yin couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with my hand?"

"No." He didn't explain.

Chu Yin had no choice but to let him continue.

After a while, he played with her arm again before letting go.

After dinner, on the way to Chunhui Pavilion, he instructed Dong Ling to do something.

No one knew who spread the news, but everyone in the capital knew that Princess Baocheng was going to choose a husband. All of a sudden, all the eight immortals showed their magical powers, and the families who wanted to curry favor with her racked their brains to find a suitable man in their family to ask for the princess' hand in marriage.

There are young talents, handsome widower, divorced men...

Tang Feiyan often made jokes. One time, she heard that a young man from the Hu family wanted to marry Princess Baocheng, so he spent hundreds of gold coins to learn some kind of seduction technique, and then was deceived.

She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and told Lu Jingchen: "Don't you see his face? He is even worse than Marquis Xuanning. How did he seduce my aunt? He really thinks it's some kind of magic. I've never seen such a stupid person!"

Lu Jingchen also heard a lot, and shook his head and said, "Aunt is different from before, she has become smarter, it's not that easy to please her."

Tang Feiyan immediately stopped laughing.

"Yeah, I don't know what happened to my aunt, she changes so suddenly. If it was still like before, we could still be matchmakers..."

Speaking of matchmaking, she suddenly thought of Shi Yu.

"Master Shi was very much favored by Auntie at that time. Do you think he could be our uncle?"

Lu Jingchen looked at his wife in shock.

"Shi Yu is only in his early twenties."

"So what? You men in your sixties and seventies can still marry teenage girls!"

He was unable to refute it for a moment.

Tang Feiyan grabbed his sleeve and said, "It might work. What do you think?"

"It won't work!" Lu Jingchen frowned. "Even if Aunt likes him, she can't marry Shi Yu. He originally wanted to marry Jiang Yuyuan. We all know this. Can Aunt do it?"

Tang Feiyan felt sorry: "Is it really impossible? Why don't you let Shi Yu try it?"

"You are..." Lu Jingchen wanted to scold her, but he held back and said, "Don't give me such bad ideas again. I don't want to lose my wife and my army."

Tang Feiyan puffed up her cheeks and said, "I didn't cause this trouble. My aunt is indeed choosing a husband, and she knows Shi Yu. I just want to go with the flow. If you don't agree, forget it."

After not mentioning the matter anymore, Lu Jingchen got up and left.

The maid beside Tang Feiyan suddenly whispered something in her ear. Tang Feiyan opened her mouth wide and then said loudly: "Husband, don't leave in a hurry. I may be pregnant!"

Lu Jingchen paused, turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

"My period is delayed," Tang Feiyan said with great joy, "Can you please ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Knowing that she wanted a child, but not yet confirmed, Lu Jingchen refused to alarm the palace. He said, "Ask another doctor first. If it's wrong, then ask the imperial physician. It would be bad to let father be happy for nothing."

Tang Feiyan thought about it and agreed.

The doctor who was invited took the patient's pulse and congratulated him repeatedly, "Your Highness Prince Jin, the Princess of Jin is pregnant."

"Are you seeing things?" Lu Jingchen stood up.

Tang Feiyan also urged: "Take another look!"

"That's right. I'll guarantee it with my life."

The couple almost jumped for joy, and Lu Jingchen immediately sent someone to the palace to invite another imperial physician.

Ma Yuanzheng went out of the palace to feel Tang Feiyan's pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant.

This time it was certain, and Lu Jingchen did not delay for a moment to tell his father the good news.

I had just told my sister about the issue of my second son's heir a while ago, but unexpectedly she got pregnant so soon. Emperor Jianxing gave Tang Feiyan many rewards and asked her to take good care of the pregnancy and give birth to a healthy child.

People in the palace also gradually learned the news.

Chu Yin had experienced this before, so it was not surprising to her. She knew that Tang Feiyan would not appear in her sight for the next year.

My brother's wife valued this child more than anything else, and in order to protect him, they never left the house.

Chu Yin ordered the palace maids to prepare congratulatory gifts and send them to Prince Jin's palace.

After all, he is her nephew, so it is impossible for Princess Baocheng not to express her gratitude.

For her brother's sake, the gift she gave had to be more grand.

Gold and silver jewelry, Ganoderma lucidum and bird's nests were piled up in a box and asked the servant to carry it to the Prince of Jin's palace.

Just as she gave away the gift, someone else gave her another gift. After hearing the steward's report, Princess Baocheng frowned and said in disgust, "If you send me another gift, throw it out. You are shameless!"

Some families are really shameless. Knowing that her brother doted on her, they tried every means to get close to her. When they heard that she wanted to choose a husband, they tried every means. Once she went out walking in the snow. Along the way, there were many men playing the zither in the snow, reciting poems in the snow, and even practicing martial arts in the snow. They wore shorts in the middle of winter, revealing their muscles, trying to seduce her. She almost thought she was in a brothel, and the women in the brothel were all replaced by men.

Princess Baocheng is so young, I really don’t know if she can find a suitable husband.

Now it seems that none of them is as good as Jiang Xian.

Of course, there are a few slightly normal men, but unfortunately they are either ugly or too old.

She is thirty-seven. She can't possibly find someone who's almost fifty, right?

Princess Baocheng had a headache.

It snowed heavily during that day and night, and by the next day the snow had piled up so high that everything was white.

There are icicles hanging under the eaves, which emit colorful light when illuminated by the light.

Remembering the prince's words, Dong Ling has already asked the eunuchs to make snow lions and snow rabbits.

Lu Zhen held up the small hand stove and said, "The rabbits must also be very big, not smaller than the snow lions."

Lu Yu was unhappy: "A rabbit is small to begin with, how can it be bigger than a snow lion?"

"This is a fake rabbit. It can be very big."

"The fake one can't be bigger than a lion." Lu Yu called his mother, "Mom, my sister said the rabbit is bigger than a lion, that won't work!"

Chu Yin: “…”

Lu Zhen also has a reason: "Snow rabbits can grow big."

Chu Yin told Dong Ling, "Make the piles the same size." Then she looked at Lu Yu and said, "You are the older brother, you should give in to your younger sister and don't worry about the size of the lion. Besides, you already had a snow lion, and this is your first snow rabbit." Then she told Lu Zhen, "You are the younger sister, you should respect your brother. There is no need to argue about right and wrong over unimportant matters."

The two children didn't understand immediately and waited for a while before nodding.

But Lu Zhen came up and whispered, "But the snow rabbit is fake, not a real rabbit. Can it be bigger than a lion?"

She rubbed her daughter's head: "Of course."

Lu Zhen laughed.

When Lu Jingzhuo came back, the snow lion and the snow rabbit had already been piled up and were sitting side by side in the yard, looking very vivid. The snow rabbit had a bright yellow plum blossom on its head, which was obviously made by his daughter.

Chu Yin said: "The two children have been playing outside for a long time, and now they are tired and go to sleep."

Lu Jingzhuo hummed, looked her over and asked, "Don't you have anything you want to pile up?"

"…I am no longer a child."

"Haven't you seen this before?"

Chu Yin tilted her head and smiled: "Next time it snows, I will build a prince."

Lu Jingzhuo: “…”

Seeing his surprise, she laughed even harder: "Who dares to really pile it up?"

He then realized she was joking, and he reached out to pull her into his arms, then bent down to kiss her.

I really like her playfulness.

She put her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe, wondering if he would mention archery again.

If she had been given time to think about it, she would have thought about it long enough.

The man kissed her enough, let her go, and winked at Dong Ling.

Dong Ling understood and immediately brought up the things he had prepared.

Chu Yin saw a bow, two leather protective gear, and a ring.

That ring looks familiar.

She picked it up and examined it.

The ring is made of the finest mutton-fat jade among the Hetian jades. It is delicate and moist, and is carved with circular patterns.

She looked at it and raised her head and said, "Except that it is a little smaller, it is exactly the same as the ring Your Highness wore before."

"It's made just like mine, and this bow...it's very light, you can easily lift it."

Chu Yin's heart beat faster.

He asked, "Are you willing to learn archery from me now?"

How could she refuse? At this moment, she just wanted to throw herself into his arms.

Chu Yin calmed down for a moment, handed the ring to him, then stretched out her hand and said coquettishly, "Put it on me."

Lu Jingzhuo: The couple uses a ring to circle his wife.
