But it only took a moment, and then it returned to normal.

Chu Yin naturally didn't notice.

After she finished speaking, Lu Jingzhuo said calmly, "You mentioned Princess Huaining just now, are you serious?"

Princess Baocheng's situation is very similar to Princess Huaining's. She also has two sons who are filial to her. She doesn't need to rush to get married, let alone ask her father-in-law for a marriage. Chu Yin said: "Princess Huaining lived a carefree and happy life after marriage. She lived to be eighty-three."

It is rare for a person to live to be seventy years old. Chu Yin is really jealous of her for being able to live to such a ripe old age.

It seems that she really wants to do it.

Lu Jingzhuo gained a deeper understanding of his wife.

The most important thing now is the marriage. Chu Yin continued with the previous question: "Your Highness, do you really think that your father will not agree?"

He didn't want to discuss this matter any further, and he didn't know why Chu Yin cared so much about it.

"Duke Song is different from others. If my father wanted to force him, he would have entered the officialdom long ago. The same goes for an arranged marriage, unless he loves my aunt." He thought this marriage was good, but whether it would succeed obviously depended on Duke Song.

Chu Yin was somewhat relieved, but not completely relieved: "But father loves aunt very much."

What if the father-in-law chooses the relationship between brother and sister?

In her father-in-law's heart, Princess Baocheng's status should be second only to Lu Jingchen.

He didn't say anything, but suddenly pinched her chin and lowered his head slightly.

It looked like he wanted to kiss her.

But at this time in Kunning Palace, not to mention Lu Jingrui was also in the palace, how could this be possible?

Chu Yin tugged at his sleeve and shook her head.

He didn't come any closer, but just looked at her again and again, with no clear meaning.

Young people kept vigil devoutly to prolong their parents' life. The two stayed until dawn and then left Kunning Palace with their children and Lu Jingrui.

The two children were sleeping soundly.

Chu Yin could still hold on for a while.

As soon as she got into the car, the man grabbed her waist.

Chu Yin was not as energetic as him and responded perfunctorily, which earned her even more intense demands from him. She felt as if she was almost embedded in his chest. When she tried to breathe, her lips and tongue were blocked again. She could no longer bear the attack from both sides.

She crumpled her skirt with both hands, trying to withstand his attack, but in the end she couldn't help it and pinched him hard.

Feeling pain in his arm, Lu Jingzhuo raised his head.

Chu Yin breathed heavily, her cheeks flushed red, like a little flower ravaged by wind and rain.

It's just a kiss, but you can't bear it and still want to keep a lover?

Lu Jingzhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that she was really overestimating her own abilities.

Chu Yin calmed down and said angrily, "It almost broke."

"Show me."

"...No need." She didn't want to stick out her tongue for him to examine. It was a bit strange.

He said, “I didn’t use my full strength.”

Why does he have to use all his strength to kiss? This is not a fight, Chu Yin was puzzled. Besides, with his strength, if he really used all his strength, would he eat her up? As she was thinking about it, the carriage stopped at the gate of the East Palace.

Chu Yin told Xiaodou and Qiniang to take the children away and take good care of them, and she and Lu Jingzhuo also walked into the hall.

It was already light outside, so they washed up and went to bed to rest for a while.

When her head touched the pillow, she thought of Princess Baocheng again.

Tomorrow, Princess Baocheng will bring her two sons to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to her parents-in-law. I wonder if she will mention Duke Song...

I hope that as Lu Jingzhuo said, my father-in-law will not agree.

As she thought about it, her eyelids gradually became unable to close.

In a daze, I felt myself being pulled into a warm embrace, and then I lost consciousness.

However, the matter of Princess Baocheng's choice of husband became known to the whole city. As an official, Jiang Lin was also quite embarrassed, especially when he heard that some young men wanted to marry his mother. The feeling of embarrassment became even stronger.

He really didn't want a stepfather who was younger than him.

But who should be blamed for this? He can only blame his biological father for not living up to his expectations.

Jiang Lin pretended to be magnanimous and even encouraged his mother to find a suitable husband. He also knew the current situation and knew that it would be of no benefit to offend his mother. Who asked his uncle to love his mother?

When Princess Baocheng saw that her eldest son supported her, she naturally felt that he was filial. When she entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to her brother, she spoke well of him in front of his brother.

Emperor Jianxing followed his sister's praises and soon asked about her life events.

Princess Baocheng asked her two sons to wait outside the palace.

"Why, someone has been chosen?" Emperor Jianxing was happy for her. "Who is it? Tell me quickly."

"You must know him."

Isn't this redundant? My sister must have chosen a capable man as her husband, so he must have served the court. Emperor Jianxing urged: "Speak quickly."

"Duke Song."

She had been used to seeing flatterers lately, so when she met Fu Yunqing, she really felt refreshed. Not only was he handsome and tall, his temperament was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was also a duke, and his status was completely worthy of her.

Princess Baocheng felt her heart beat, which was rare.

Even if she were fifteen years old again, she believed that she would have the same feeling when she saw Fu Yunqing.

Emperor Jianxing's heart skipped a beat.

Didn't Duke Song travel abroad with his son all year round? Why did he return to Beijing this year?

Is he coming to Beijing to celebrate the New Year?

What a coincidence, my younger sister actually fell in love with me!

Emperor Jianxing secretly thought that this was not good.

When he casually mentioned that he wanted to arrange a marriage for his sister, he never thought of the Duke of Song.

If the Duke of Song was unwilling and he insisted on arranging the marriage, it would only lead to a tragedy.

After calming down, Emperor Jianxing asked, "Did you know him before?"

"I've never met him, but I've heard about him."

The Duke of Song had been guarding the border and was not in the capital, while she was a princess and never left her house, so there was no chance for them to meet.

"Did he show any intention of marrying you?"

Princess Baocheng hesitated: "We have only met once. Even if he has such thoughts, he will not reveal them so quickly."

When a man meets a beloved woman, there is no such thing as "slowness". Emperor Jianxing sneered: "He is such a stubborn person that he would not even take the position I asked him to. How could you choose him? What's so good about him? He is a widower and might even kill his wife."

Princess Baocheng: "..."

"Change him. I don't like him as my brother-in-law."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

Princess Baocheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Brother, you have never seen other men being so shameless. They have no shame. They marry me just to become a royal relative, not to curry favor with you. But Duke Song is different. Compared to those men, he is simply the breeze and the moon."

"What gentle breeze and bright moon? He is just a stone in the toilet, hard and smelly!" Emperor Jianxing held on to this matter, saying that he did not accept Duke Song, so as not to let his sister find out that he had broken his promise.

Princess Baocheng didn't expect that her brother disliked Duke Song so much, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

Her brother was like heaven to her. Without his support, she would lose everything. But she was unwilling to give up Duke Song.

She still has a long life ahead of her and she needs to find a suitable man to spend her life with.

"Brother, there may be some hidden reason why Duke Song doesn't want to be an official, or maybe his injury has not healed yet. Why do you hate him? He recovered Yunzhou, Cangzhou and other places and quelled the five-year war. Who doesn't say he is a hero? He almost sacrificed his life for the country and the people. Can't you forgive him? I don't mind that he doesn't have an official position, brother." She advised earnestly.

Emperor Jianxing rubbed his short beard with his palm and said decisively: "No, no matter how much you talk, I don't want him to be my brother-in-law! He doesn't even give me face. Do you think he will treat you well after marrying you?" He waved his hand, "Pick another one!"

Princess Baocheng had no choice but to stop temporarily and take her two sons to pay New Year's greetings to her sister-in-law.

During the New Year, Lu Jingzhuo did not have to go to Chunhui Pavilion for a few days. Hearing that his aunt was there, he took his wife and children to pay his respects to the elders.

Chu Yin had planned to test it out early in the morning, but when she met Princess Baocheng, she breathed a sigh of relief.

People feel cheerful when something happy happens, but Princess Baocheng's expression doesn't look like she's having a happy event.

Did her father-in-law reject her?

If so, then Lu Jingzhuo’s guess was really accurate.

She glanced at him stealthily.

Lu Jingzhuo received it but did not respond.

Princess Baocheng had no interest in doing anything now. She teased her nephew and great-niece for a while and then planned to leave.

Even Queen Jiang noticed her abnormality and said in surprise, "Shanhui, you've only been sitting here for a short while and you're leaving now? Why don't you stay for lunch? It's rare for Lin'er and Min'er to come to the palace."

"Sister-in-law, you are not feeling well. I don't want to trouble you. The weather is cold. I will bring them to see you when it is warmer. Let's forget about it today." Princess Baocheng declined.

Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Queen Jiang did not try to keep her.

On the other hand, Chu Yin was extremely relieved. She said to Lu Jingzhuo in the car, "Your Highness is right. Father probably did not agree to the marriage... How did Your Highness guess that?"

"Father values ​​talent."

These four words are enough to explain everything.

Chu Yin nodded: "It hurts Auntie's feelings, but I just want her to calm down and not be so hasty."

Calm down and then keep a lover? Lu Jingzhuo glanced at her and said nothing.

The weather after the New Year was still bitterly cold. After getting out of the car, Chu Yin wrapped her cloak tightly around her, while Lu Jingzhuo held the two children, and the four of them walked into the hall together.

As it was a rare opportunity for him to have some free time, Chu Yin suggested that he spend more time with the children: "Your Highness has only told two stories to Er'er, Zhen'er, right?"

Lu Yuzhen corrected: "One, but my sister heard two."

Compared to taking them on horseback rides, telling them stories was much easier, so Lu Jingzhuo did not hesitate to tell them the story of "Shennong Tasting Hundreds of Herbs".

No matter what they ate, Lu Zhen was interested: "Shennong was amazing. Eating things could actually help people. But he was so pitiful in the end." He was poisoned to death after eating the herb. In order to commemorate him, people worshipped him as the God of Medicine.

"This is to teach you that if you want to learn something well, you need to keep trying and practicing, and you can't give up halfway," Lu Jingzhuo looked at his son, "Er'er, remember this, the same is true for horseback archery."

Lu Wei nodded: "I know, I'm just waiting for Daddy to teach me!"

"Let your father teach your mother first."

Lu Zhen interrupted: "Daddy has to teach mom how to ride a horse too. Mom learns so slowly that she doesn't even dare to take us with her."

Chu Yin: “…”

Lu Jingzhuo looked at his wife and said meaningfully, "We need to teach them again." Then he told Xiaodou and Qiniang, "Take them away."

Chu Yin was stunned: "Ah? You only told one story."

"I'll tell you next time."

Hearing his unquestionable tone, the two men rushed over and took the child away.

Chu Yin was a little dissatisfied: "Your Highness rarely has to go to Chunhui Pavilion, why don't you stay with Er and Zhen for a while?"

"I want to stay with you for a while."

This was too direct, and Chu Yin's face turned red: "...That's fine, of course, but what should we do?" With the children around, it would be more fun, and the two of them would be much more quiet.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Ride."

Chu Yin really thought she was going to go horseback riding, and even wanted to say it was cold outside, but it was too sudden...

It wasn't until he picked her up and carried her to bed that she realized what he meant.

It’s both “riding”, but the degree of tiredness is very different.

After Chu Yin fell into a deep sleep, Lu Jingzhuo went to the study.

Dong Ling poured him tea, took out a book, and then reported the news from Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said that while Mrs. Yao was keeping vigil over her husband's death, she was secretly mixing herbs at night, one of which was Aconitum, which was extremely toxic. He suspected that she was trying to make a poison pill, and he had already collected evidence.

Yao Tian was poisoned to death by Madam Yao simply because he bullied Yao Zhou. Not to mention Chu Fangheng, who caused Yao Zhou's death by some strange coincidence, I'm afraid Madam Yao is going to take action against him.

As for Chu Yin...

If a person only thinks about revenge, he will lose his mind sooner or later.

But he was investigating the matter privately and there was no way he could report it to his father. After thinking for a while, Lu Jingzhuo decided to let Li Yuan reveal the fact that Mrs. Yao was proficient in medicine and could make poison to the elders of the Yao family and Yao Tian's wife.

In addition, it must be mentioned that if Mrs. Yao had not come to the capital to plead for mercy, Yao Zhou might not have been transferred to Jingzhou, and he would not have lost his life.

The eldest son was poisoned to death, and the second son was implicated by Madam Yao. The Yao family will never let Madam Yao go.

However, Lu Jingzhuo did not tell Chu Yin about this. There is no final result yet, so we have to wait.

Chu Yin slept until 3 p.m. before waking up.

In the past, Lu Jingzhuo was the one doing all the hard work, and she still felt sore in the waist and legs, let alone this time.

Thinking of what he said in bed, Chu Yin blushed for him.

How could this person be so nonchalant and make such a direct request?

Just as I was complaining, the man came in.

Holding the clothes, Rendong and Lian Xu temporarily retreated outside.

He sat on the bed and stroked her messy hair: "Did you sleep enough?"

It's enough, but still a bit sour...

Chu Yin glanced at the "culprit" and wanted to say that she would never learn to ride a horse from him again, but it was difficult to say such embarrassing words. She just nodded: "Yeah." and planned to lift the quilt and get up.

As a result, he came up and kissed her.

Having just woken up and not even rinsing her mouth, Chu Yin stretched out her hand and pushed him: "Wait a moment."

He didn't stop.

Chu Yin was originally sitting, but was forced to lie back down.

Looking at the man above her whose eyes were becoming increasingly dark, she couldn't believe it.

Would he want to...

But it was only a few hours later.

Chu Yin did not refuse, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you have anything else to do?"

"No." He was clear.

"..." Chu Yin said softly, "But I'm still jealous..."

So why would such a weak person like him keep a lover?

She couldn't bear it even with him alone.

Lu Jingzhuo: Do ​​you know your own strength?

Chu Yin: ????
