084

She was looking at the Duke of Song and his son. To be more precise, she was mainly looking at Fu Yue, and was also waiting for Yu Sizhang to appear.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Lu Jingzhuo.

"What does your Majesty mean by this?" When she couldn't think of a reasonable reason, she played dumb.

Lu Jingzhuo took off their veils, pressed her down on the armchair, and then put his hands on his sides: "I saw everything."

The man was tall to begin with, and as he leaned closer, his aura was like a mountain pressing down on her. Even though Chu Yin was very affectionate with him, she couldn't help but move back a little, and then she leaned against the back of the chair, unable to retreat any further.

He pressed down a little more: "Speak."

The way she questioned him made people who didn't know her think she had made a big mistake.

Chu Yin said angrily: "I'm looking after a child, what's wrong?"

"child?"

"Yes, the child in royal blue clothes is so handsome and lovable at such a young age."

Is she looking at the son of Duke Song?

Lu Jingzhuo was puzzled: "We have three children, isn't that enough for you to look after? Are you coming out to enjoy the lotus and see other people's children?"

Chu Yin pouted: "I just think every child is cute, no matter if it's my own or someone else's. Besides, that child is really good-looking."

"Can you compare to Er'er, Zhen'er?"

"Each has its merits," Chu Yin suddenly hugged his neck, used some strength to move up, and whispered in his ear, "Really, with His Majesty by my side, would I look at another man?"

His face suddenly felt hot.

Chu Yin is not only good at acting coquettishly, but also good at saying sweet words.

"You'd better remember this." He pulled her arms down, hooked them on the armrests, and leaned over to kiss her.

I couldn't move my body, and had a strange feeling of being imprisoned.

But his kiss was very comfortable, neither light nor heavy.

The posture is awkward, and after a while, my arms start to go numb...

She had just twisted her body when her daughter's voice suddenly came from the door of the cabin: "Dad, Mom, come out quickly...Grandpa, grandmother, and uncle are here."

Lu Jingzhuo paused and let go of his hand.

Chu Yin rubbed his arm and said, "You made me numb." Then he shouted, "Here it comes, here it comes."

Lu Jingzhuo smiled and helped her knead it.

When they were almost at the door of the cabin, Chu Yin took out a handkerchief and wiped their lips.

After receiving the emperor's oral order, the Chu family also came to Yuhe on the Dragon Boat Festival. However, for fear of being discovered, they sat very low-key in the painting boat and did not show up to socialize with the officials. Later, when they learned that the emperor was here, they boarded the painting boat with the eunuchs who came to pick them up.

"Father, mother, brother, please come in," Chu Yin waved, "you should sit inside."

Her family members were not wearing veils, and if they were noticed and their respectful attitude was discovered, their identities would surely be guessed. Then all the officials would come to pay their respects, and this trip would be meaningless.

Chu Fangheng and the others understood and hurried in.

The two children were very confused as to why they all hid inside.

Lu Zhen frowned: "Brother, what are they doing? They don't even appreciate it."

After all, Lu Yu had been taught by the lecturer for more than a year. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they are discussing something important. Let's not disturb them."

"Oh, brother is so sensible now." Lu Zhen joked, reaching out to pinch Lu Wei's face.

Lu Wei refused to let her pinch him, and the two of them ran around on the deck.

The little girl's pink skirt fluttered slightly and her laughter was like a silver bell.

Fu Yue glanced over and paused for a moment on her round face, wondering who this girl was to be so cute.

Such a rosy face, I really want to pinch it.

He had no brothers or sisters, and he couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw the two people chasing each other.

"Yuer, what are you looking at?" Yu Sizhang had just returned from his friend's pleasure boat.

Fu Yue pointed.

Yu Si had good eyesight and could see it clearly. She was stunned and inexplicably felt that the girl looked like Chu Yin.

Could it be...

She took another look at the pleasure boat and the guards on the deck, and suddenly became more certain. However, since the emperor and empress were traveling incognito, even though she missed the empress a little, she could not go and disturb them.

"Mu Zhi, which ship are you going to bet on?" Fu Yunqing put his hand on her shoulder and clenched it weakly.

"Zhou family."

"Then I'll bet on the Ma family."

Yu Sizhang frowned: "Why do you always go against me?"

"Who told you to always go against me before?" Fu Yunqing whispered, "I literally broke my bones to marry you."

The two even had a fight.

Yu Sizhang shook his head: "It's not good to bring up the past."

“It becomes more and more interesting the more I read.”

Seeing the two of them arguing, Fu Yue touched his nose and ran to the other side.

After my mother passed away, my father had been lonely for many years. Although he felt a little sad about remarrying, I was happy for him when I saw that he had met a woman he loved, and their home became lively again.

Fu Yue smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the painting boat on the opposite side.

After all, Lu Wei had practiced horse riding and archery, so there was no way Lu Zhen could outrun him and he soon became out of breath.

Seeing her flushed face and her hair about to fall apart, Lu Wei said, "Okay, I'll pinch it for you, but just once." He leaned his face closer.

Lu Zhen stroked her chest and said, "Don't give it to me early, I'm so tired!" She stretched out her hand and gently pinched it, then smiled, "Brother's face is as soft as Yu'er's."

Lu Wei: “…”

Suddenly feeling that he was at a disadvantage, Lu Yu asked, "Give me a massage, too."

"No, no." Lu Zhen fled into the cabin.

When Lu Wei chased to the door, he straightened his body and put on a calm and steady look in front of the elders.

Chu Yin was asking her mother about her sister-in-law, such as how her appetite was after she got pregnant and what the doctor said. She wanted to send Liu Yuanpan to take a look, but Lu Jingzhuo, Chu Fangheng and Chu Ge were discussing something much more serious.

After Lu Zhen came in, she bowed to the elders, then walked over to her mother and asked in a low voice, "Mom, the dragon boat race is about to start, right? Don't you want to watch it?"

"You can also watch it here. The windows are very big," Chu Yin held her daughter in her arms, "Have you been admiring the lotus flowers just now? Did you find anything interesting?" She didn't know if her daughter noticed Fu Yue, but at such a young age, she wouldn't be moved even if she saw him.

In her previous life, the daughter met Fu Yue when she was thirteen years old. This time it happened earlier, but the two may not know each other.

As expected, Lu Zhen said, "Just look at the lotus flowers."

Chu Yin smiled, rubbed her head and said nothing.

If the two children are destined to be together, Fu Yue will definitely become her son-in-law in the future.

Judging from their looks alone, they are a perfect match.

Suddenly, in the distance, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and the dragon boat race was about to begin.

Lu Jingzhuo stopped talking about court affairs, ordered the boatman to bring the pleasure boat over, and then held his son in his arms.

Lu Wei hugged his father's neck and smiled with his eyebrows curved.

Through the window, Chu Yin discovered that there was a new woman on the Fu family's pleasure boat, and it was Yu Sizhang.

She was happy and curled her lips slightly. Then she turned her gaze to the dragon boats racing on the river and cheered for them with her family around her.

At the same time, Princess Baocheng was also celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival.

She was generous and booked a private room in the best restaurant in town, inviting Cheng Miyuan and three of his fellow apprentices to celebrate the festival with them and their son.

Before leaving, Jiang Min looked around the room where his mother lived again and again, and sighed, "If my brother knew, he would definitely ask you to go back. This place is too unfair to you." It's not even as good as the toilet in the princess's mansion.

Princess Baocheng smiled and said, "Then don't tell him, just say I'm fine...Besides, if I can't bear it anymore, can I still live here? No one can force me."

That's true. Jiang Min nodded and said, "Since you really want to study medicine, I will support you, but please don't work too hard."

"Okay." Princess Baocheng agreed.

Outside, three senior brothers were already waiting. When they saw the princess appear, they all came over to pay their respects.

"Where are he?" Princess Baocheng didn't see Cheng Miyuan.

"I don't know. It's rare for Master to be so procrastinating." Zhao Jiubiao was also surprised. "I'll go and take a look!"

As he walked to the door, he saw a man coming out.

Because he was too unfamiliar, he exclaimed: "You, who are you..."

Everyone thought there was a thief and stuck their heads out.

The man asked, "Who do you say I am?"

The voice is exactly the same as Cheng Miyuan's, but...

Princess Baocheng stared at his smooth chin, his brand new lake green robe, and the square scarf on his head, and she really suspected that she had seen a ghost.

She knew that Cheng Miyuan was only two years younger than her, but because he was always dirty and messy, she suspected that he was actually in his forties or fifties. But after dressing up like this, he actually looked like a decent human being.

Zhao Jiubiao scratched his head: "Master, you don't look like a master anymore. I didn't see you like this even during the festival last year..."

"Last year was last year, and this year is this year," Cheng Mi glanced at him from a distance, "Why do you talk so much?"

Zhao Jiubiao: “…”

Cheng Miyuan looked at Princess Baocheng and said, "Don't stare at me anymore. I will do the same tomorrow. You should get used to it."

"What does it have to do with me what you do tomorrow?" Princess Baocheng raised her eyebrows and said, "I am wondering why you got so messy before?" You could have been clean and tidy.

Cheng Miyuan said: "Because I don't want to clean up."

"What do you think now?"

He said calmly: "Because I just thought about it."

This explanation seemed like no explanation, but Princess Baocheng clearly noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in his light-colored eyes, like ripples on the surface of a lake blown by the spring breeze. She stared at him, but did not ask any more questions.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, midsummer arrived and ice cream was used in the palace. However, Chu Yin still insisted on sending her son and Lu Jingzhuo out every morning, and taking time out in the afternoon to accompany her daughter to arrange flowers and play shuttlecock, and teach her youngest son to walk and talk.

Before I knew it, it was July.

After Lu Jingchen and his wife and Lu Jingrui finished their mourning period, they immediately came to Cining Palace to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Jiang. Empress Dowager Jiang invited them to have lunch, saying that they had not been reunited for a long time, and asked Nanny Chen to prepare it.

Lu Shaowen was already over two years old. Her eyebrows and eyes were like Tang Feiyan's, and her face and nose were like Lu Jingchen's. She was very delicate and could speak. She kept calling "Imperial Grandmother" sweetly.

Queen Mother Jiang joked, "Smarter than Jingchen when he was a child."

Lu Jingchen coughed softly: "My son is very relieved."

Chu Yin got the news and came here just now.

When Lu Jingchen and his wife saw her, they hurriedly stood up, kowtowed and called her "Empress". Lu Jingrui was not as reserved as them. He called Chu Yin "Sister-in-law" as usual, which seemed quite intimate.

Chu Yin asked the two to stand up: "Why are you so distant? Just be the same as before."

Lu Jingchen said respectfully, "Sister-in-law, this is proper etiquette. After all, we haven't seen you for more than two years. Unlike my third brother." He then called to his son, "Shao Wen, go pay your respects to your aunt."

Before coming, his parents had taught him how to perform the etiquette of a senior citizen: "Shao Wen has met his aunt. I respectfully wish you the best."

Chu Yin had never seen two-year-old Lu Shaowen, because in his previous life he had gone to Huaizhou with his parents when he was only one year old.

"Sister-in-law, you are very good at teaching children." Chu Yin smiled, waved Lu Shaowen over, and rewarded him with a string of small goldfish.

This thumb-sized fish made of gold is very cute.

Lu Shaowen quickly thanked him.

Tang Feiyan was dressed very simply today, in a moon-white outfit, with only a white jade hairpin in her hair. She looked much simpler than I remembered, and her expression was no longer as willful as before. She said respectfully, "Thank you for the expense, sister-in-law."

You can see her fear.

Chu Yin knew very well that the couple was afraid of being driven out of the capital and becoming a fiefdom.

But she couldn't make the decision on this matter, and everything depended on Lu Jingzhuo's opinion, although she felt that these two people could no longer pose any threat.

"Shao Wenmanyue, we are not here, so it is not a big expense," Chu Yin said with concern, "Sister-in-law, you have lost a lot of weight, but are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"No need. It's Shao Wen's fault. He might have run away. I've been chasing him all day, so I lost weight." The closer the day of her release from mourning was, the more worried she became. Sometimes she couldn't sleep well at night. With so many worries on her mind, how could she not lose weight?

Chu Yin didn't force it.

"Er, where are Zhen'er?" Tang Feiyan asked, "I haven't seen them for two years. I really miss them."

"They are all attending the class. They should be almost done."

"Good boy, you can sit down and listen to the class at such a young age. You must have inherited the good qualities of both you and His Majesty."

There were too many compliments, and Lu Jingchen felt that his wife shouldn't be too obvious, so he diverted everyone's attention and turned to ask Lu Jingrui: "Third brother, is it time for you to consider your life's affairs?"

Lu Jingrui said: "No hurry, I want to spend more time with my mother."

Queen Mother Jiang said angrily, "This child, I asked A Yin to ask him what kind of girl he likes, but he couldn't say a word. You see, it's not that I don't want to arrange something for him, but he just doesn't have an idea in his mind."

"That's easy. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the girls will come out to admire the moon. Third brother, you can go out of the palace and take a look. Who knows, you might meet the person you like." Lu Jingchen suggested.

Queen Mother Jiang smiled: "Jingchen is smart and thinks the same as me. I was planning to let him do this... Jingrui, don't stay in the palace on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Go out for a walk."

"..." Lu Jingrui felt a headache and looked at Chu Yin, "Then I want my sister-in-law to go with me. I have poor taste and my sister-in-law can help me check."

Chu Yin was stunned.

What is Lu Jingrui doing? He wants her to accompany him when he sees a girl. Is he crazy?

At this time, Lu Jingzhuo happened to be coming over with his two children. Hearing the words "guard the gate" at the door, he asked, "What gate?"

Everyone rushed forward to salute.

This time Lu Jingrui also kowtowed.

Lu Jingzhuo waved his hands: "Everyone, get up."

Queen Mother Jiang answered her son's question: "We were talking about Jingrui. We asked him to go out of the palace to see the girls during the Mid-Autumn Festival. But he wanted Ayin to accompany him to check on him, fearing that he would not make the right choice."

The third brother in front of him was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, just like an adult man. Lu Jingzhuo thought, he is not a child anymore, does he need Chu Yin to accompany him to see a girl? That is his sister-in-law, not his biological mother!

Lu Jingrui said: The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, almost like a biological mother.

Lu Jingzhuo: Stop bothering your sister-in-law!

Lu Jingrui: T_T
