056

When she heard about the right shoulder injury, she thought of Duke Song.

I didn't expect it was really him.

Why would Princess Baocheng fall in love with Duke Song?

It shouldn't be!

Chu Yin subconsciously grabbed Lu Jingzhuo's robe and frowned.

Lu Jingzhuo and Lu Jingchen both showed puzzled expressions, and the latter asked: "Sister-in-law, do you know Duke Song?"

Chu Yin came back to her senses: "...I heard that I think the Duke of Song doesn't even hold an official position and is not worthy of my aunt. I think you guys think so too, right?" She looked at the two brothers.

But they don't think so.

Just because Duke Song doesn't want to be an official doesn't mean he is incapable.

He is of noble status and handsome appearance, and is completely worthy of Princess Baocheng.

Lu Jingchen said: "My aunt will probably ask my father to arrange a marriage for me."

Chu Yin's grip tightened.

Lu Jingzhuo took a quick look and really didn't understand what she was so nervous about.

What does it matter to them who my aunt marries?

At the door, Lu Jingrui came to greet them.

Lu Jingzhuo put the two children down.

During the festival, the brother and sister wore festive red jackets. The brother's was embroidered with a lion and ball pattern, while the sister's was embroidered with a hundred butterflies. Both of them had their hair tied into small buns with red ribbons, which was very adorable.

When they saw Lu Jingrui, they smiled and called him "Third Uncle".

Lu Jingrui took out two flowers made of red paper from his sleeve and gave them to the brother and sister.

Lu Zhen liked it very much and thanked him quickly.

Lu Wei looked at it and said, "This is made of paper. Can Third Uncle make a horse or a lion?"

"Can."

"Really?" Lu Wei's eyes widened, "Then Uncle San will give me a discount next time."

"Okay." Lu Jingrui agreed.

Chu Yin saw it and hid her surprise with a smile.

In his previous life, Lu Jingrui had also folded these little gadgets to please his children, but not so early.

After his father-in-law passed away, Lu Jingzhuo inherited the throne and did not have to observe mourning. But Lu Jingrui was different. He started to fold paper for the children after he had finished mourning. At that time, her son was already very dependent on his wet nurse Zhou. But because Lu Jingrui deliberately approached her, he had a good relationship with his third uncle, so he was caught off guard and was deprived of the throne.

Why is the situation different in this life? Chu Yin was very surprised.

The Chinese New Year was different from other festivals. Emperor Jianxing arrived earlier than usual. When he saw his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were all there, he stroked his beard and laughed loudly, then held his grandchildren on his lap.

"You're getting heavier, but you're not growing fast enough." He pinched the two children's faces, "Eat more and grow taller. Next time, Grandpa will take you out hunting."

Lu Wei had heard of "hunting" and exclaimed, "Great, great, there are big horses to ride."

Lu Zhen was not interested and didn't understand why her brother liked horse riding so much.

"It would be nice to be able to go to the temple again," she said.

Emperor Jianxing looked at his granddaughter and thought of his sister when she was little: "Grandfather cannot guarantee whether you can go to the temple again, but when Zhen'er grows up, Grandfather will definitely choose the best man in the world as your husband."

Lu Zhen didn't quite understand what "husband" meant: "What is that?"

Emperor Jianxing laughed twice: "You will know it later."

Chu Yin knew her father-in-law's future very well, and she couldn't help but sigh after hearing what he said. At the same time, she was also worried about her daughter's life.

My daughter's future husband is Fu Yue, the son of Duke Song.

Originally, she had deliberately managed her relationship with Yu Sizhang and carefully and prudently maintained her daughter's marriage. Who would have thought that Princess Baocheng would interfere and actually fall in love with Duke Song. She was really at a loss for a moment.

But no matter how difficult it is, she has to find a way to stop it.

Once Princess Baocheng married Duke Song, the relationship between her daughter and Fu Yue would change. It was hard to say whether they could get married in the future. Besides, what about Yu Sizhang? She couldn't just ignore it.

Emperor Jianxing finished teasing the two children, put them down, and looked at Lu Jingchen: "Ask the imperial physician to visit your house anytime."

Lu Jingchen understood what he meant and bowed, "Yes, I would like to thank you, Father, on behalf of Feiyan."

The sound of firecrackers rang out at this time.

The two children were startled and Lu Zhen hurried to her father.

Lu Jingzhuo bent down and picked up his daughter.

It sounded like dozens of firecrackers going off at the same time, shaking the earth. Not only was the child scared, but Chu Yin even felt that she could not handle it and reached out to cover her son's ears.

Lu Wei shook his head: "No, I'm not afraid."

Chu Yin was surprised: "Such a loud noise, aren't you afraid?"

A little bit, but Lu Wei had said before that he wanted to see the firecrackers, so how could he back down now? He straightened his neck and said, "I'm not afraid!"

A child who is almost four years old actually has such self-esteem, Chu Yin frowned.

A hand suddenly reached out and pulled her to his side.

When she realized it was her husband, Chu Yin said, "Your Highness, did you see it just now? My daughter refused to cover her ears and held them open forcibly." Unlike her daughter, she covered her ears by herself.

"Let him go."

"But I'm afraid of hurting his ears."

"No, far away. He looks like he can handle it."

Chu Yin was not as calm as him and continued to stare at her son.

Lu Jingzhuo called out to his son, "Cover your ears."

As soon as his father spoke, Lu Wei immediately obeyed.

Chu Yin couldn't help but pout.

She was close enough to the two children, but she was far less prestigious than Lu Jingzhuo in front of them. Maybe it was because he smiled too seldom, so he had a strong intimidating power.

Seeing her pouting, Lu Jingzhuo reached out and pinched the tip of her small nose.

Queen Jiang was very pleased to see her son and daughter-in-law being so close.

She had no hope in this life, but her son's happy marriage made up for it.

Emperor Jianxing also smiled and turned to his second son and said, "Go and see Concubine Shu later."

Concubine Shu did a good job in raising children. This time, except for the fact that his son was not talented enough, everything else was very satisfactory to him. Now that his second daughter-in-law was pregnant again, it was only right for the mother and son to meet on New Year's Eve.

Lu Jingchen hurriedly thanked the emperor for his grace.

After the firecrackers were set off, Lu Zhen poked her head out to watch the fireworks.

Lu Jingchen told his father: "Zhen'er is afraid of firecrackers, but she is looking forward to fireworks."

"Really?" Emperor Jianxing glanced at his granddaughter and immediately ordered the eunuchs to set off more fireworks.

Lu Zhen was so happy that she asked her father to carry her outside to see the place.

Chu Yin followed with her son.

Later, except for Queen Jiang and Emperor Jianxing, everyone else also stood under the eaves.

The sky is like a spring garden, filled with flowers of all colors, competing with each other in splendor and splendor.

In Chu Yin's memory, she watched the fireworks from the window inside the palace. Her daughter was not held by Lu Jingzhuo, and he was not that close to her, nor did he put one hand on her waist as if he was ready to hold her at any time.

At this moment, she was very satisfied and quietly leaned her head against his shoulder.

The colorful fireworks rose high into the sky again, and he smiled softly in the bright colors.

Then we had a reunion dinner.

Except for Lu Jingchen who has to leave early, everyone else has to stay up to celebrate the New Year.

There were many fruits and snacks placed in the hall.

Empress Jiang took her grandchildren with her while Emperor Jianxing talked to the brothers Lu Jingzhuo and Lu Jingchen.

Chu Yin glanced at Lu Jingrui standing beside her and brought up the topic by referring to the origami just now.

"I didn't expect my third brother to be so skillful and even know how to fold paper."

Maybe because she drank a little, her sister-in-law's cheeks were a little red, like peach petals in early spring. Lu Jingrui took a look and said, "Origami is not difficult at all, but it's not that she's very skillful... Is sister-in-law drunk?"

"No, I get angry easily." Chu Yin's eyes fell on his right hand. "You have been treated by Ma Yuanzheng recently. Are you feeling better? Is this why you can fold paper?"

She finally remembered this matter, and Lu Jingrui's tone became lighter: "Whether the doctor treats it or not, it doesn't affect the origami. It doesn't take any effort at all. But in the past two days, I feel that it has some effect."

Chu Yin was stunned.

She thought Lu Jingrui would insist that his arm would never heal, so that he could continue to make his mother-in-law and Lu Jingzhuo live in guilt, but how...

Did I hear it wrongly?

She pressed on: “Really? It really worked?”

She leaned toward him in shock.

To Lu Jingrui, she seemed extremely surprised.

"Yes, if I continue to receive treatment, I will be able to write sooner or later."

No, why didn't he hide it?

Chu Yin put his hand on his forehead.

"Sister-in-law? Are you dizzy?" Lu Jingrui turned around and poured her a cup of tea. "Would you like some sobering tea?"

Chu Yin couldn't make sense of what was going on, so she pretended to be a little dizzy: "It's okay, I should be fine after a rest."

Lu Jingrui didn't bother her anymore.

The young man opposite sat quietly, with concern on his fair and handsome face. Chu Yin took a look through her fingers and became more confused. She really couldn't figure out what Lu Jingrui was thinking.

She had intended to torture him in some way if he continued to pretend.

Chu Yin closed her eyes.

They were speechless for a moment.

However, Lu Jingchen was about to leave and came over to say goodbye.

Thinking of Duke Song, Chu Yin talked to him as they walked: "How is your sister-in-law now..." It was more natural to ask about Tang Feiyan.

Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "Now she likes everything she sees, has a good appetite, and is not picky about anything. She has gained about ten pounds."

Chu Yin was shocked again.

She remembered that Tang Feiyan didn't have a good appetite when she was pregnant and didn't gain much weight. After giving birth, her body shape didn't change much.

"She still has to control herself. Being too fat is not good for the children or herself. I was pregnant with twins at that time and I didn't eat too much, and the children were all healthy." Originally, mother and child were safe, but now everything has changed because of her. Chu Yin suddenly became a little worried. She didn't want to be responsible for anyone's life.

From her expression and tone, he could feel the care that came from the bottom of her heart. Lu Jingchen thought that his sister-in-law was really kind.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll call her attention."

"You should ask the imperial physician more."

Lu Jingchen nodded again.

"By the way, second brother, how did you know that Auntie fell in love with Duke Song? Could it be a misunderstanding?"

Lu Jingchen told them this to get closer to them. Now that his sister-in-law asked him about it, he naturally told her in detail: "Sister-in-law, this is definitely not a misunderstanding. My friend saw it with his own eyes. When my aunt went to visit the family that day, the family also invited Duke Song. My aunt looked at him several times and later took the initiative to talk to Duke Song... My sister-in-law knows what kind of temper my aunt has. With her status and position, she would never talk to any man."

Chu Yin agreed: "What is the attitude of Duke Song?"

"She was quite cold and left without saying a word to my aunt, so I guess my aunt will ask my father to arrange a marriage for her."

Chu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Duke Song is not devoted to his aunt.

When she came back after finishing her words, she saw Lu Jingzhuo standing at the door.

The man said calmly: "What did you say to my second brother?"

"Ask about my second brother's wife."

Did it take so long? Lu Jingzhuo thought, today she not only talked to her second brother, but also talked a lot to her third brother.

She wasn't that talkative before.

"Come in, Er, Zhen is looking for you."

"They were afraid they would fall asleep soon." They were too young to hold on.

"My mother has ordered the palace maids to spread the bedding on the couch."

"She is very thoughtful," Chu Yin smiled, "I'm afraid it will be just me, His Highness, and my third brother who will be left to watch the New Year."

The child is too young to support the baby, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law are too old to support the baby either.

Lu Jingzhuo held her hand and said, "If you feel sleepy, you can rest with Er and Zhen."

"No, I will stay until the end." It was the same in the previous life, except that they were both very quiet. He didn't speak, and she didn't talk much either, making that night seem extremely long and extremely boring.

As expected, after the two children fell asleep on the couch, Queen Jiang and Emperor Jianxing also became tired and went back to their rooms to rest.

After the elders left, Lu Jingrui also understood and did not disturb the couple. He sat far away and closed his eyes to take a nap. Chu Yin no longer had to remain dignified. Besides, she was a little sleepy. She leaned on Lu Jingzhuo's shoulder and whispered about Princess Baocheng: "If your aunt really asks your father to arrange a marriage for you, do you think your father will agree?"

"will not."

"Really? Why do you think so, Your Highness?"

Lu Jingzhuo did not answer, but asked: "Why do you care about your aunt's marriage?"

"As the younger generation, isn't it our duty to show some concern?" Chu Yin remained calm. "Last time, my aunt married the wrong person and got divorced. I think she should be more careful this time and must not marry the wrong person again."

"I don't think I married the wrong person by marrying Duke Song."

"That's right, he can be an official but he doesn't want to be one. He has no ambition at all." Chu Yin said something unpleasant.

"He has already made great achievements in the war. What else does he need to be ambitious? Besides, everyone has their own aspirations. There is nothing wrong with being an idler."

It seems that Lu Jingzhuo is very supportive of Princess Baocheng marrying Duke Song. Chu Yin frowned, but without thinking too much, she said, "Actually, Aunt has just divorced, so there is no need to rush to get married. What's wrong with being free now? If you get married, you will not only have multiple husbands, but you will also have to deal with the affairs of your husband's family. Aunt can just be like Princess Huaining of the Zhou Dynasty..."

Princess Huai Ning was also divorced, but later, relying on her brother's favor, she kept twenty male lovers in the palace and lived a carefree and happy life.

But what's wrong with getting married?

Could it be that Chu Yin felt that being married would not bring her any comfort? Did she really think that she would be happier not to get married and to have some concubines?

Lu Jingzhuo's gaze towards her changed.

Lu Jingzhuo: So this is my wife's ideal life!!

Chu Yin: ???
