This never happened in my previous life.

She didn't understand why her father-in-law made such a decision.

Is he dissatisfied with her as his daughter-in-law? But she asked herself that she had not made any mistakes since her rebirth, and even made some contributions, for which her father-in-law had rewarded her... What happened to make her father-in-law change his attitude so drastically?

Chu Yin was very confused and aggrieved, but he was the elder and the emperor, so she couldn't disobey him. "If there really is someone who is knowledgeable, sensible and talented to help my daughter-in-law, that would be a good thing."

Look how smart that is.

The implication was that she could totally accept a concubine, but the concubine had to be tactful and not cause trouble or disrupt the order of the East Palace.

But women never rely solely on being "knowledgeable and sensible" to win the hearts of men. Emperor Jianxing glanced at her calm and pretty face and thought, it must be that the eldest son does not like the "virtue" of his daughter-in-law, right?

Emperor Jianxing took the two children off his knees and said, "Er'er, Zhen'er looks tired. Take them back to rest."

Chu Yin agreed and left the Qianqing Palace with the two children.

I left with joy and returned with sorrow.

It’s not that she was really afraid of Lu Jingzhuo taking a concubine. What she was afraid of were the variables, especially the variables happening to her father-in-law, because once his thoughts were different from those in his previous life, it would definitely affect everything in the future.

But she couldn't guess the reason for this change, which made her a little helpless.

The two children were still young, so they could not understand what their grandfather had just said. They were naturally carefree. Lu Wei pulled his mother's sleeve and asked, "Mom, you borrowed my 'horse' before. Did you break it?"

If you follow the instructions, you will be able to fold it naturally. The difficult part is to find the trick and fold it into something else.

"When mom is free, I'll fold a pair of horses for you."

"Okay, okay!" Lu Yu was very happy and immediately made a request, "I want a white horse with a red background, like the one my father and mother ride!"

"Okay." Chu Yin agreed and looked at her daughter, "Zhen'er, do you want it?"

Lu Zhen shook her head: "I don't want a horse, I want red pomegranates and purple grapes..."

It's very difficult. Chu Yin said, "We'll have to wait for a while."

After talking to her children, her mood improved slightly.

No matter how things develop, as long as she does her duty and does not make mistakes, no matter how unhappy her father-in-law is, he cannot depose her as the Crown Princess without any reason. All she has to do is to hold on to her position and wait and see.

As for Lu Jingzhuo, she naturally trusted him, but she didn't know how to tell him about this.

Her father-in-law did not explicitly mention the concubine. If she had mentioned it, she would have been suspected of instigating and spreading rumors behind his back. If her father-in-law found out, it would be her fault. Lu Jingzhuo would know it sooner or later anyway.

As she expected, within three days, Emperor Jianxing made things clear to his son.

He first tested what Lu Jingzhuo had learned from lectures, and then said that the East Palace was not lively enough and that they should have a few more children.

"I have few children, only three sons in total, which is a pity, so I am counting on you and Jingchen... But I see that Ayin has to take care of Er'er and Zhen'er, and I haven't given you another child in the past four years. If you keep delaying like this, you will be inferior to me!" Emperor Jianxing glanced at the new buds on the branches outside the window, "Jingzhuo, tell Hezhong what you like later, your East Palace is really too deserted."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Emperor Jianxing added: "Don't worry, they are all women of outstanding appearance and will not humiliate your status."

Lu Jingzhuo didn't react because he doubted his ears.

Not only did his father take a concubine, causing his mother to suffer all her life, but he also allowed him to take a concubine.

Do you want him to go along with the evil?

"Father, you should know that I don't like women," he immediately refused, "and I don't have time to deal with it."

Emperor Jianxing was not surprised by his eldest son's answer. He smiled and said, "You are quick to refuse, but Ayin has already agreed. I am very pleased that you have such a virtuous wife. You don't have to worry about her. Just let it go."

Chu Yin actually knew about this?

A light flashed in Lu Jingzhuo's eyes.

Emperor Jianxing added: "Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a crown prince with only one crown princess. I ignored you before. It was my negligence. I must not let you down this time. That's settled." He didn't care what his son thought and walked out with his hands behind his back.

The dark sky was falling, and the table in front of him was covered with a layer of orange-red light.

His father came to Chunhui Pavilion specially to ask him to take a concubine...

If he had no offspring, that would be fine. He already had both sons and daughters. Why would he take a concubine just for the sake of having offspring? Lu Jingzhuo really couldn't guess his father's intention of using this to get him to "go along with the bad people".

He Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, please tell me what you like."

Lu Jingzhuo said: "I don't have any preference."

He Zhong: “…”

Isn't this embarrassing for him?

"Your Highness, I don't want to force you, but I am following the emperor's orders."

This time Lu Jingzhuo said, "You step down."

He Zhong knew that he could not complete the task.

The father and son were at odds with each other. One wanted to give a concubine, and the other didn't want one. He was caught in the middle and could only confess his guilt before the emperor. He could not get any result here anyway, so he hurriedly took his leave.

Emperor Jianxing was not surprised to see him return, and asked calmly, "Didn't you do it?"

He Zhong knelt down and touched his forehead to the ground: "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Sure enough, he refused again.

However, this child used to be cold and could resist beauty, but can he really maintain this attitude now? No matter how good the eldest daughter-in-law is, she is not young compared to girls of fifteen or sixteen years old. Can he really remain indifferent to other beauties? Emperor Jianxing raised his hand and said, "Look for girls of the right age in the capital, and pick those who are beautiful... They don't have to come from a prominent family, and girls from small families are best." His purpose was to let those concubines share the eldest son's favor for the eldest daughter-in-law, not to stir up disputes.

Once my son has another woman, he will not take feelings as seriously as Jiang Zhi does.

In the future, I will not use everything I have to please women, causing chaos in the government, like Daizong of the previous dynasty, who was eventually usurped by his own wife!

"Find some with different looks, don't be too single." The more choices you have, the more likely your son is to fall in love with someone else.

He Zhong couldn't help but secretly worry for Chu Yin, and asked carefully: "How many people does Your Majesty plan to choose in the end?"

"Four, I think. Quality is better than quantity."

"Yes." He Zhong responded.

There were six plates of delicious dishes on the eight-immortal table illuminated by palace lanterns, but Chu Yin found that Lu Jingzhuo's appetite was not as good as usual.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" she asked tentatively.

Lu Jingzhuo put down his chopsticks: "No."

His eyes fell on Chu Yin, and his mind flashed again with what his father had said: Chu Yin has already agreed.

Why didn't she tell him?

Did she really agree?

Did she hesitate?

The look was extremely complicated, alternating between hot and cold. Chu Yin couldn't help but touch her face: "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

"Nothing."

Chu Yin felt that he was a little strange, but he refused to say, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Just before they went to sleep, the man suddenly had a better "appetite". He kept kissing her, like a thirsty traveler who found an oasis, and he almost sucked her dry.

Chu Yin's mouth was dry and her tongue was aching. Just as she was about to protest, he stopped again, then pinched her jaw with one hand and said, "You are really patient."

Chu Yin was stunned: "What?"

"Regarding the matter of Consort Nan," he stared into her eyes, "how long are you going to hold it in?"

How did he know?

Even if my father-in-law wanted to find him a concubine, he shouldn't have mentioned the matter of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Chu Yin's eyelashes trembled twice: "My father did hint at it, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't tell Your Highness."

"But you agreed."

"You really agree?"

Deep in the calm eyes, undercurrents surge.

Chu Yin sensed the danger and said hurriedly, "How could that be? I don't want you to take a concubine, but I don't dare to disobey my father!" She would have to be crazy to really agree, unless Lu Jingzhuo took the initiative to take a concubine. Since she was no longer in his heart, she would not care how many concubines he took.

His expression softened a little: "You shouldn't have kept it from me."

"I'm afraid that my father will find out and blame me for instigating it," Chu Yin hugged his waist and asked softly, "Did my father tell His Highness today?"

"Um."

"Did your Highness agree?"

"No, but I'm afraid my father won't listen to me." He had already seen his father's attitude, "I will go to the Qianqing Palace again tomorrow."

Lu Jingzhuo is not a person who would drag his feet. He must have made it very clear. But his father-in-law still insisted on doing so. So what's the point of opposing him? It would only make his father-in-law more unhappy.

"If the emperor really refuses to change his mind, Your Highness should not be too disobedient," Chu Yin said solemnly, "We in Da Yue rule the world with filial piety. Since the emperor has given the order, we can only obey. Your Highness, you should know how serious the matter is." Giving away a concubine is just a matter of words. If the father-in-law insists on giving her a concubine, they have no way of refusing. But the father-in-law can only order the concubine to enter the East Palace. They cannot control anything else.

At that moment, he thought of the time in Qingzhou when Chu Yin was pregnant and urged him to go to Beijing with his father.

She was right, he knew.

But suddenly, I felt mixed emotions because Chu Yin was sober from beginning to end.

From the time I married him until now, I have always been sober.

Lu Jingzhuo said: "I understand."

Chu Yin breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he would not quarrel with her father-in-law over this. She was really afraid that her father-in-law would have the idea of ​​replacing the prince in this life. Then, the crisis they would face would be unprecedentedly difficult.

She didn't want to go this far unless it was absolutely necessary.

Just as she was thinking about it, the man suddenly turned her body over, and then she found herself lying on the bed.

Very embarrassing action...

She thought of the positions he had mentioned.

Chu Yin's face flushed with heat and she tried to escape, but he grabbed her waist from behind and lifted her up slightly.

"Your Highness, don't you want to have children?" She weakly resisted with this reason.

He neither denied nor acknowledged it, but just knelt behind her with his hands moving downwards.

Chu Yinhun's whole body was trembling.

In a daze, I felt like a leaf floating on the sea, being pushed around by the waves and unable to be my own master at all.

Sometimes she grabbed the pillow, sometimes she grabbed the quilt, but she just couldn't grab Lu Jingzhuo.

He was behind her like a surging tide that seemed to never stop.

In the end, she was forced to cry again, and she couldn't help sobbing: "I really can't stand you..." Maybe taking a concubine would be a good idea to share her burden, but when the thought flashed through her mind, she felt it was impossible to accept it. That would only be a complaint to him when she was extremely tired.

How come this person's energy is getting stronger and stronger!

Shouldn't it be true that people get weaker as they get older? He is one year older than last year.

Just as she was wondering, the man put his chest against her back and said, "I want to have a child now, Ayin."

Chu Yin was so frightened that her tears stopped: "What?"

Doesn't that mean trying all the positions?

And summer is coming soon!
