073

Since they were so close to each other, she certainly knew what this meant.

It's definitely more than just a kiss.

But he hasn't shown up during the day lately, and hasn't done anything that children can't see, so why did he have to...

"Yu'er is one month old, I should have spent more time with him, but Your Majesty can't bear it?" She said angrily, "Besides, I'm still in confinement after giving birth."

He didn't answer, but leaned down, pinched her jaw, and kissed her hard.

Before this, Chu Yin had just given birth, so he didn't dare to use force anywhere. Even when kissing, he only gave her a light kiss for fear of touching the wound. To be honest, he was really holding back.

This release will naturally have a huge impact.

She instinctively sensed danger in his wanton predation.

I pushed him away subconsciously, but he grabbed my slender wrist and kissed me more aggressively and deeply.

Her head felt a little dizzy and her body felt limp, but she always remembered that her body couldn't bear it yet, so when he tried to squeeze between her legs, she immediately struggled: "No, not yet..."

That would be painful, there's no way she would agree to that.

He stopped moving, and suddenly used his fingertips to knead her beautiful lips: "I heard that you used to be very fond of crying?"

He had only seen her crying in bed.

Another time was in a dream, and he still doesn't know what she dreamed about.

Chu Yin was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "But did my mother tell the emperor? I don't remember it myself..." In her memory, she didn't like crying. She cried in front of Lu Jingzhuo because of physical pain, not emotional pain.

The only time was when she cried in her dream because he deposed the queen.

In her previous life, she cried even less. After marrying him, she cried only twice. One was when she had a miscarriage, and the other was when she was separated from her loved ones because she couldn't bear to leave her two children and her family.

She didn't feel reluctant to leave Lu Jingzhuo at that time, she just hoped that he would not be in a hurry to continue the relationship.

If I were to go back now...

Her gaze fell on the ring the man was wearing, and tears flashed in her eyes. She must be reluctant to part with him, right?

But the next moment, the ring penetrated into her collar and rubbed her skin together with the thin silk in her palm, making her want to throw it away.

There were waves of goosebumps.

"We have to wait another month?" he asked in her ear.

"Hmm..." I don't know if it was an answer or a hum.

His hands did not stop, but he asked, "Kiss me well, Ayin."

She trembled slightly, tilted her head to kiss his Adam's apple, and then fell on his broad shoulders.

In February, the charcoal basin had been removed from the hall, and it was actually a little chilly.

But she looked as if she had just been through the scorching heat of June, her body soaking wet.

Chu Yin pulled the quilt to cover herself and glanced at the culprit.

He was neatly dressed, his bright yellow dragon robe dazzling, and he was ready to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Feeling his wife's gaze, Lu Jingzhuo turned around and said, "If you want me to wash it for you, that's fine."

Chu Yin pursed her lips.

The main thing is that she can't get out of bed and has to wash in bed, and it's still daytime...

Although the palace ladies were used to it, it was still a little embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, please leave." She closed her eyes.

He chuckled and left feeling refreshed.

The two of them had been alone in the hall for so long, and Rendong and Lian Xu knew what was going on. As soon as Lu Jingzhuo left, they immediately brought water.

The marks on the Empress' chest were very obvious, clearly showing what had just happened.

They all blushed when they saw it and wiped it silently with their heads down.

After a while, Ren Dong couldn't help but say, "The Emperor really likes the Empress."

For a moment I didn't know whether I was truly moved or just afraid of creating an awkward atmosphere.

Chu Yin thought, I hope his next "liking" will last until she is out of confinement.

Having promised to teach his son how to ride a horse, Lu Jingzhuo instructed Dong Ling to ask the horse keeper to prepare a pony for Lu Wei during his rest. As for what kind of horse it was, the eunuchs there would definitely know best.

But at this age, practicing horse riding is not important, you have to be enlightened first.

Lu Jingzhuo had attended four years of classes and he knew very well who taught well and who was more suitable to be the future prince's lecturer. He immediately wrote down the names of three officials and asked them to start preparing now and come to Chunhui Pavilion to give lectures in April.

As for his daughter, she would be taken care of by the female officials in the palace, and he planned to let Chu Yin choose who it would be.

Thinking of Chu Yin, the pen in his hand paused.

She will be finished with her confinement in a month. By then, he will definitely not seek help from other places to relieve his desires like he did today or before when she was pregnant. But if he did that, Chu Yin might get pregnant again.

After those ten months, he didn't want Chu Yin to give birth again.

Lu Jingzhuo ordered Dong Ling to pass a message to Judge Liu, asking him to think of a way to avoid pregnancy without hurting her body.

Dong Ling received the order.

In her previous life, the women officials who taught her daughter were also female officials. Chu Yin remembered that they were Liu Shangyi and Ms. Zhang. After they left the palace, her daughter was taught by other female officials.

But since Lu Jingzhuo asked her to choose, it was a bit strange for her to suddenly pick these two people, so she said, "I'm not sure who to choose. Let Aunt Chen recommend one."

Before this, she was the Crown Princess and had never been in charge of the inner palace. After her father-in-law passed away, her mother-in-law became the Empress Dowager and the Concubine became the Concubine Dowager. It was supposed to be her who took over, but she happened to be pregnant again, and she still hadn't been in charge. So now that they need to select a female official, how can she possibly choose one?

Fortunately, Nanny Chen recommended Liu Shangyi and Ms. Zhang just as I remembered.

In this life, the daughter attends class before the son.

Chu Yin understood that Lu Jingzhuo wanted to wait until Lu Yu was made the crown prince before officially allowing him to enter Chunhui Pavilion.

Just wait for one more month.

Lu Wei still played in the yard every day, watching Xiaodou perform juggling, playing hide-and-seek with the eunuchs, spinning the chariot, and playing diabolo, and he also ate more, hoping to grow up faster.

Sometimes when he saw his sister studying in the palace, he would take pleasure in her misfortune and make faces outside the window to distract her.

Lu Zhen complained to her mother.

Chu Yin said: "Your brother will be quiet by April." By then he will only envy his own sister.

Lu Zhen didn't know what this meant, she just hoped that April would come soon.

Unconsciously, Lu Yu had grown up a little bit, with a pair of black and bright eyes. He would often stare at people, and occasionally giggle and wave his two little hands, which was very cute.

Lu Wei and Lu Zhen would come to see him in their spare time and teach him to say "brother, sister" in an attempt to get him to speak faster.

Chu Yin was able to get out of bed now, and would carry Lu Yu for a walk in the yard when the weather was fine.

But Lu Jingzhuo became unusually busy. One day, she wanted to tell him about the children's interesting stories, but she waited until the end of the night and still didn't see him.

When I was about to fall asleep, I felt a man lying beside me.

She turned around, put her hands on his waist and asked, "But what happened in the court?"

Not long ago, he promoted Yi Jian to be the prefect of Chengzhou. Although Chu Yin's suggestion of "provincial governor" made him unhappy, he actually had such an idea himself. It was just that Yi Jian was unique in agriculture but had little experience as an official, so he wanted to let him practice as a prefect first. Of course, he also promoted several other honest officials, but at the same time, the results of last year's inspection of foreign officials surprised him.

Dai Viet had enjoyed peace and prosperity in recent years without any wars. However, some unscrupulous military officers emerged on the border, who bullied soldiers, occupied military farms, and embezzled military pay. This caused complaints from the soldiers and seriously affected and weakened the combat effectiveness of the Dai Viet army. In a rage, he dismissed the two generals.

But he didn't want to tell Chu Yin about these things.

"Nothing, just some corrupt officials."

It was too late and Chu Yin was sleepy, so she didn't ask any further questions and fell asleep in his arms.

When she woke up the next day, she thought about what happened last night and suddenly realized that this might be related to a war that broke out in the first year of Taixi.

In the previous life, when my father-in-law fell ill, Lu Jingzhuo was in charge of the country and discovered that there were hidden dangers at the border. He advocated personally to tour the north to scare off the foreign invaders and reorganize the military defenses, because those cities were close to the capital and it would only take a month to go back and forth. However, my father-in-law did not agree.

At that time, she was also afraid that he would go on a northern tour. What if her father-in-law died and he was away, the situation would change and the throne would be taken away. Therefore, she was also opposed to it, but she did not need to say it because her father-in-law objected first.

As a result, war really broke out the following year.

Although Lu Jingzhuo had ascended to the throne and quickly sent troops to wipe out the enemy, thousands of soldiers still died.

Is he going to go on a northern tour this year?

Chu Yin felt complicated for a moment.

She wanted to talk to Lu Jingzhuo, but she didn't know how.

The Northern Tour can prevent war, but it is impossible to predict what will happen during the Northern Tour.

Amid such worries, she welcomed the coronation ceremony.

On March 26th of the first year of Taixi, the palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace were busier than ever before, but they were also very happy, happier than ever before, because their master was going to become empress and move into Kunning Palace.

Chu Yin, on the other hand, was very calm after having experienced all this.

She asked the flower growers to dig up the fruit trees planted last year.

Lu Zhen looks after these trees every day, waiting for them to grow and bear fruit.

Rendong and Lian Xuan combed her hair, while Manqing and other palace maids waited by the side, holding nine-dragon and four-phoenix crowns and dark blue robes with phoenix patterns.

Lu Wei and Lu Zhen knew that their mother was going to become the empress. Although they did not know the deep meaning, they understood that it was a happy event. They followed the example taught by the female officials and respectfully stepped forward to bow and said, "Your children congratulate your mother and wish her good health, happiness and longevity."

Chu Yin smiled.

Is it so obvious that I care about my health? The ladies-in-waiting all teach their children these blessings.

But never mind, she really hopes she can live longer.

After Lu Zhen finished her greetings, she stared at the Fengguan and said, "This hat is so beautiful, and this dress... Mother, please put it on quickly!"

It looks good, but it's also heavy. After Chu Yin put it on, she felt like she was wearing a layer of armor.

She stood up, spread out her gorgeous sleeves, and slowly turned around in front of her son and daughter: "How is it?"

"A beauty as beautiful as a fairy!" Lu Zhen immediately used the new words he had learned.

Lu Yu opened his mouth, unable to think of a word to compare himself to his sister. At this moment, he understood the benefits of listening to lectures. He scratched his head and said, "My mother is the most beautiful person in the world. No one can compare to her."

Chu Yin chuckled.

Lu Yu's face flushed: "But what the child said is wrong?"

"No, you are absolutely right," Chu Yin rubbed her son's head and encouraged him, "I like it very much."

Only then was Lu Wei happy.

Lu Zhen knew what her brother was thinking and laughed secretly.

Feng Yu was already waiting at the door. Chu Yin took the two children's hands and went out: "Let's go pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."

When Queen Mother Jiang saw her daughter-in-law dressed up in her best clothes, she praised her greatly and then said, "You are also out of confinement. From now on, the inner palace will be left to you to take care of... With you in charge, Jing Zhuo and I will feel more at ease."

Chu Yin nodded: "My daughter-in-law will not let down our mother."

Queen Mother Jiang smiled and said, "You don't have to say that. We are already getting estranged." She urged, "Hurry up and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Jing Zhuo is waiting for you there."

Chu Yin nodded and bowed to take her leave.

When he arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the female officials came to greet him, like stars surrounding the moon.

The messenger in charge of enthronement struck the bells and drums at this time, and the emperor, dressed in royal robes and robes, and all the civil and military officials entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another.

The sound of music filled the air, solemn and dignified.

After the Minister of Rites consulted Lu Jingzhuo, the ceremony of conferring the empress officially began.

Chu Yin methodically repeated everything she had done in her previous life, the complicated ceremonies. The only difference was that when she was awarded the empress's edict and the imperial seal, and walked towards Lu Jingzhuo in the palace, he was not expressionless like in her previous life, but was smiling slightly, which made people feel full of joy.

She laughed too.

The two sat side by side on the dragon chair.

All the officials knelt down in unison, paid homage to the Queen of Dai Viet, and shouted "Long live the Queen".

Her father and brother were lost among the officials, so she couldn't see them, but she knew they must be very pleased.

After the ceremony, Lu Jingzhuo took her back to Kunning Palace.

Sitting on the dragon chariot, the man only held her hand and did not do anything else, which surprised Chu Yin a little, because she thought he would at least kiss her.

It may be too heavy and inconvenient to wear.

By the time they arrived at Kunning Palace, her neck was so sore that the first thing she did was to take off her phoenix crown.

When the palace ladies placed the phoenix crown on the table, she suddenly discovered that there was already a piece of calligraphy placed on it.

Liu Xu's "Record of Seeking Truth".

Chu Yin's eyes widened slightly.

She thought Lu Jingzhuo would send her off, but she didn't expect it to be today.

Chu Yin couldn't help laughing, and turned to ask Lu Jingzhuo: "Why did His Majesty give me this calligraphy?"

"You gave birth to my daughter, so I must show my appreciation... Do you like it?"

She's been waiting, how could she not like it?

With her hands around the man's neck, Chu Yin stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I love it very much!"

That face was extremely gorgeous, as were her lips. His eyes suddenly turned deep: "This is not enough." He leaned forward and pushed her against the table, then held her waist and lifted her up.

The dark blue robe intertwined with his dragon robe, shining brightly.

He was so serious on the dragon chariot just now, but it turned out that he had other plans in his mind.

Chu Yin hugged his neck and said, "I've only been in Kunning Palace for a short while, is Your Majesty going to do this to me?"

"I let you rest for a few days," he reached out to undress her, "Aren't you grateful to me?"

I didn't touch her for those days, just for today.

For today, the day he had been looking forward to the most, she became his queen.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers gently, starting with a light touch and then gradually becoming heavier.
