099

Hearing that her son took his daughter-in-law out of the palace for a trip yesterday, Queen Mother Jiang took the opportunity to ask a few questions out of curiosity when Chu Yin came to pay her respects.

Chu Yin said that Lu Jingzhuo went to several shops with her and accompanied her back to her parents' home.

Queen Mother Jiang was very pleased after hearing this: "I feel relieved that you two are so loving and affectionate." She then asked, "Jing Zhuo has been teaching you horseback riding. How is it going?"

Chu Yin was ashamed: "My daughter-in-law is stupid. She can't learn as fast as Er."

Queen Mother Jiang smiled, "Er'er should be riding a pony, not like you... But the horse is too high, are you afraid of falling off? There is no need to worry, just learn slowly. Since Jing Zhuo is willing to teach you, he must be very patient."

Being patient is not necessarily a good thing. Chu Yin felt a headache when she thought about having to learn martial arts, but she would not complain to her mother-in-law.

It’s not that she was afraid that her mother-in-law would persuade Lu Jingzhuo, but she knew that her mother-in-law could not influence Lu Jingzhuo’s thoughts at all, so it would be useless to say anything.

In the afternoon, she went to the racecourse as usual.

After a month, I was finally able to ride on my own.

However, since it is a form of physical exercise, she cannot stop, so Lu Jingzhuo still lets her continue practicing.

She was very resistant to this at first, but now that she can drive the beautiful Zhao Yebai, she is slowly finding some fun in it.

The weather gradually warmed up, and by March, the palace was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Chu Yin rode a horse, basking in the warm spring sun, leisurely.

The dragon chariot came from afar, and the sound of its wheels could be heard.

She rode past.

When she arrived in front of the dragon chariot, she dismounted with a bright smile on her face.

After she knew that Lu Jingzhuo was jealous, she often smiled at him, and it was a happy smile.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Since Lu Jingzhuo cares about her smile and she has confessed her love to him, she can only pretend to like him all the time. Otherwise, if she is found out, it will be deceiving the emperor, which will sooner or later affect her position as the empress, so Chu Yin cannot relax.

However, the man knew her plan and he didn't know how many times he said "liar" to her in his heart.

Fortunately, the things Chu Yin cares about can only be given by him.

She couldn't leave him unless...

Lu Jingzhuo took out two swords and said, "Today I will start teaching you swordsmanship."

Only the separation of Yin and Yang can separate them, so the most urgent task is to urge Chu Yin to exercise.

Chu Yin's smile collapsed immediately.

"I haven't even mastered riding yet, do I really need to learn both?"

"Yes," Lu Jingzhuo said without mercy, "One hour of riding skills and one hour of sword skills."

It seems that she will have to go back home lying down today, and Chu Yin began to worry about her health.

Lu Jingzhuo handed her one of the swords.

Unexpectedly, it was a wooden sword.

Chu Yin was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, are you afraid that I can't lift it?"

"No, I'm afraid you'll stab yourself." Lu Jingzhuo pulled out another precious sword, the blade of which was a faint green and shrouded in cold light. "When you learn it, I'll replace it with a real sword for you."

Actually, it is not necessary. A wooden sword is fine. Chu Yin asked, "What sword technique does Your Majesty intend to teach me?"

"First, I'll teach you how to hold the sword."

He sheathed the sword, hung it around his waist, and then grabbed Chu Yin's hand.

"Handle up, thumbs pressed, feet apart..."

The voice was deep and clear, and the teaching was meticulous.

Chu Yin knew she couldn't escape, so she could only study hard.

An hour later, she collapsed in the man's arms.

"This is much harder than learning horse riding!" she couldn't help but complain.

Lu Jingzhuo held her and walked towards the Dragon Chariot: "It's not difficult, why should I let you learn it?"

"But I'm not going to fight in the war," Chu Yin pouted slightly, "I really don't know why Your Majesty wants to teach me these things." Can't he teach something simpler, like kicking shuttlecock?

"Have you forgotten?" he asked.

"What?"

"It's okay if you forget. You're going to take a bath later anyway."

The scene in the bathtub that day instantly flooded into Chu Yin's mind. Her face flushed and she quickly said, "I won't ask anymore. I won't ask again in the future."

The corners of his lips curled up: "You have been learning riding skills for more than a month, and I don't know if it is useful. Maybe you can use this to test it."

Chu Yin didn't want to at all.

She was really tired after riding a horse and practicing swordsmanship just now. If he tortured her like he did last time, she would definitely pass out.

She whispered, "Your Majesty..."

He pretended not to hear and carried her into the carriage.

When she sat down, she took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and called him "Your Majesty" again.

He remained unmoved.

Chu Yin kissed him on the lips.

He suddenly smiled and looked at her meaningfully.

Chu Yin lowered her eyes when he looked at her: "...Did His Majesty agree?"

Although she had been pretending, her relationship with him was becoming closer unconsciously, and she didn't know whether she noticed it or not.

At least she couldn't do this before.

Lu Jingzhuo lowered his head and kissed her lips: "You don't have to be in the clean room, but..."

"But what?"

He didn't say anything, but suddenly turned her over and pressed her onto the seat.

Chu Yin was horrified: "This won't work either."

"Two places, choose one."

“…” She bit her lip, wanting to hit him.

In a fit of anger, her fingers suddenly touched something long and thin in the corner of the seat. She grabbed it and found that it was a rolled-up painting.

"Your Majesty," she found an excuse, "please stop for a moment. There is something here."

Lu Jingzhuo let her go: "What?"

"Let me take a look." She sat up straight and opened the scroll.

Then she discovered that it was Liu Xu's "Seeking Truth Record".

She had been searching for the calligraphy for a long time.

Chu Yin was overjoyed at this moment and wanted to hold him in her arms.

But how did the "Record of Seeking Truth" appear on the dragon chariot? What exactly is going on?

Could it be that someone was left here?

A thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly understood everything. She turned to look at Lu Jingzhuo and said, "Your Majesty, did you put it here?"

"yes."

"…Is it for me?"

"Of course," he held her in his arms, "Do you like it?"

She was indeed very surprised just now, but after calming down, she couldn't help but guess what Lu Jingzhuo was thinking: "I like it very much...but how did His Majesty know? Did you hear it in the calligraphy and painting shop that day?"

"No, I ordered someone to look for it before that."

Chu Yinying opened her lips slightly: "How is this possible?"

Lu Jingzhuo raised his eyebrows: "Ayin, it's not difficult for me to know your preferences."

That's true, but why did he...

Chu Yin looked at Lu Jingzhuo steadily.

Did he really like her, so much so that he had already inquired about her preferences in order to make her happy?

Just like that day, I took her out of the palace and accompanied her back to her parents' home...

Chu Yin's heart was in turmoil for a moment: "How could I have deserved such trouble from His Majesty?"

"Why do you suddenly feel so self-deprecating?" Lu Jingzhuo lifted her chin, "You are my queen, aren't you worth my worry?"

"That's not what I meant..."

But never mind.

Why bother to pursue whether it is true or false? Even if it is true, it is only temporary.

How can the love between an emperor last forever?

Chu Yin felt a little sad, and she sighed secretly, leaning on his shoulder and said, "I don't know how to repay His Majesty... This "Record of Seeking Truth" must be difficult to find, right? Your Majesty, I'm worried about you."

He put his arm around her waist and said, "It's not difficult to repay me."

The implication is obvious.

Chu Yin did not resist this time, she just whispered: "Don't take too long, I can't stand it..."

He agreed.

He lifted her up slightly and sat her astride his legs.

As the hair was tossed up and down, it soon fell apart.

She endured it and didn't make a sound.

Instead, he called her name in her ear, and it sounded particularly sweet and captivating.

She accidentally pinched his arm and broke the skin.

When I went back, my legs were sore and he carried me to take a bath.

Fortunately, he did not have any bad intentions again, and Chu Yin fell into a deep sleep after cleaning.

The next morning, two guests came to Kunning Palace.

uninvited guest.

Last year, the late emperor passed away, and Princess Baocheng was heartbroken and unable to sleep day and night. Chu Yin thought she would be depressed for a while, but today she brought her niece Jiang Yuyuan to visit her mother-in-law and her.

Chu Yin stood up to greet him.

"Aunt, you have lost a lot of weight. Would you like to ask Dean Ma to take your pulse later?"

"No need, it's better now than before," Princess Baocheng praised Jiang Yuyuan, "Luckily, Yuyuan is with me, otherwise I really don't know how I would have gotten through it."

Jiang Yuyuan has a sweet face and a sweet voice: "Aunt has always taken care of me. What's the big deal for me to do such a small thing?" She looked at Chu Yin and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be doing well."

It is truly heartbreaking.

Her father-in-law died, but she looked fine. If it got out, she would be considered unfilial. Chu Yin was already feeling uncomfortable, but she didn't show it on her face. "Has my aunt seen His Majesty?"

"Not yet. Jing Zhuo must be reviewing memorials at this moment. I don't want to disturb him."

Chu Yin heard the hidden meaning: "I will send someone to tell His Majesty that my aunt will stay for dinner later."

Princess Baocheng nodded and said, "Er'er, has Zhen'er gone to class?"

"Yes, I will be back at noon, just in time to pay my respects to you, aunt."

Princess Baocheng sighed and said, "They must be very well-behaved. It's a pity that my brother is no longer here, so I can't see them being sensible." After she said this, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

Jiang Yuyuan hurriedly comforted her: "Fortunately, my cousin is wise and has lived up to the late emperor. The late emperor's spirit in heaven will also be comforted."

A tone full of admiration.

Maybe she really likes Lu Jingzhuo, so she wants to be his concubine? Chu Yin turned her head and told the palace maid to go to the kitchen and ask the chefs to prepare lunch.

When Lu Jingzhuo comes back later, there will surely be another good show to watch.

I wonder how he will deal with Jiang Yuyuan?

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Yuyuan cried to him. I wonder if he comforted her?

With his personality, he won't be able to be comforted, right?

But what's the use of comforting him? She couldn't care less about him, so Chu Yin put the thought behind her.

Before noon, Lu Jingzhuo arrived at Kunning Palace.

Princess Baocheng and Jiang Yuyuan went to greet him: "Jing Zhuo, why are you back so early?"

She was happy, thinking that her nephew was doing this for her sake.

Jiang Yuyuan sweetly called him "Your Majesty".

"Your Majesty is a genius. He must have already read the memorial. I wonder if I am right?" She smiled sweetly.

I have to say that Jiang Yuyuan is quite smart. Chu Yin thought that Lu Jingzhuo is truly a genius now. He managed to handle so many memorials in a short time.

However, Lu Jingzhuo ignored such flattery.

In his previous life, after Chu Yin passed away, Princess Baocheng saw that the throne was vacant, so she thought of letting Jiang Yuyuan be the successor. Only then did he realize that Jiang Yuyuan had this plan all along.

Lu Jingzhuo said calmly, "I came back early to take Ayin to learn horse riding, but I didn't know that my aunt would come over so suddenly... Dongling, go tell mother that my aunt will have dinner at Cining Palace later."

Princess Baocheng was stunned. It turned out that her nephew didn't come back early because of her.

"You teach Ayin horse riding?"

"Yes, Ayin is weak, and I will not only teach her riding but also martial arts, and I must make sure that she lives with me until old age." Therefore, these two people can forget about succession.

Princess Baocheng: "..."

Jiang Yuyuan: “…”

Chu Yin blushed: "Your Majesty..."

Why did he say this in front of those two people!

Lu Jingzhuo, however, remained calm and said loudly, "Send Aunt and Miss Jiang to Cining Palace."

The two men were stunned.

Seeing them being sent away, Chu Yin said unhappily, "Shouldn't you say that in private, Your Majesty?" Besides, she had already heard the words about growing old together once, so why did she say it again.

"Why can't I tell you?" He raised his eyebrows. "If I could, I would announce to the world that I want to grow old with you."

Chu Yin's lips slightly opened, unable to speak for a moment.

She could sense the surging friendship in these words.

But why would he want to grow old together?

How could he be sure of something so far away?

Chu Yin whispered, "Will His Majesty not take a concubine? If His Majesty has a favorite concubine one day, he will want to live with her until old age." How could it be her turn? She would surely be old and ugly by then, and it would be good enough for her to sit firmly on the position of Empress.

How could she see that he would take a concubine?

Lu Jingzhuo said, "I have never taken a concubine. Don't you know?"

"Now is now, and later is later..."

"I won't do that in the future," he said seriously, "Ayin, I will only have you as my woman in this life!"

He was so determined that Chu Yin didn't know how to refute him.

But when she asked herself, she still didn't believe it.

How could she fall so easily into the sweet words of an emperor?

But she still had to pretend to believe it. Chu Yin showed a flattered expression, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her face in his chest like a cute little cat: "Your Majesty is the only man in my life."

At first glance, it also seems to be a show of loyalty.

If you think about it carefully, this is nonsense.

If she wanted another man, could she get him? She was not the emperor, and could not take concubines, so of course she could only have him.

Lu Jingzhuo glanced at Chu Yin with deep eyes. Could it be that the little liar still thinks she is capable of having other men?

Oh, that’s a bold idea.
