A shudder went through her body.
I really don't know him well enough!
How could someone develop such a liking after reading some supernatural books? And why would he read such books?
Puzzled, Chu Yin quietly put the two books back in confusion, then picked up a farm book at random and flipped through it. She seemed very focused, but in fact she was still thinking about this matter in her mind.
After Lu Jingzhuo finished reviewing the memorial, he called her several times before she heard him.
"What were you looking at so intently just now?" he asked her after sitting on the dragon chariot.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about Zhen'er," she made an excuse, "Zhen'er has already met Master Fu, I don't know what will happen next."
"Don't worry about it. If Zhen'er likes it, let Fu Yue be her consort. If she doesn't like it, she can choose someone else." Lu Jingzhuo felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It all depended on his daughter's wishes.
He had never seen what the two looked like after they got married, so naturally he had no feelings for this son-in-law from his previous life. Chu Yin also understood: "Your Majesty is right." She actually wanted to ask about the two books, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
Maybe it's best not to mention it. If I mention it, what if he takes out some tiger skin or snake tail and asks her to wear it at night? What should I do then?
It's really shameful and weird!
Chu Yin thought to herself, let’s slow down for a while. If he really did that one day, she would have to persuade Lu Jingzhuo not to let him become more and more evil in this matter.
As summer turned to autumn, the fruit trees in the yard ripened overnight.
After seeing this, Lu Jingzhuo told Chu Yin not to rush to ask the palace maids to pick them, and said that he would pick them for them in the evening.
Chu Yin did not give any instructions to the palace maids, but instead practiced with the stone beads given by Lu Jingzhuo in the afternoon. She aimed and fired at the fruits dozens of times, but only managed to knock down two peaches in total.
Lu Zhen ran to pick it up and said with a smile, "Mom is so amazing, she actually managed to hit it!"
"You are far behind your father," Chu Yin shook her head, "No wonder your father said I need to learn for at least five years."
"Five years later, I'm sure my brother will learn it, too." Lu Zhen said as she thought of Fu Yue, wondering if he knew how to use hidden weapons. She instructed the palace maids to wash and cut the peaches and feed them to her younger brother.
Lu Yu grinned and said, "It's so sweet, Mom, sister wants to eat it too."
The mother and her two daughters divided the peaches.
Hearing that their father was going to pick fruit, the three siblings waited under the tree.
Lu Jingzhuo was about to climb the ladder, but was stopped by Chu Yin: "We all want to see His Majesty use hidden weapons to knock him down."
This will make the fruit rot easily.
Lu Jingzhuo ordered Dong Ling and Xiao Dou to each hold up a large bamboo plaque to receive the food below.
He did not use any hidden weapons. Instead, he asked his daughter for some gold leaves and shot them with his left and right hands. The peaches, apricots, pomegranates and pears on the tree fell down like rain. The three children were stunned and then cheered loudly.
Soon, the fruits piled up on the bamboo plaque.
Lu Jingzhuo withdrew his hand.
Chu Yin asked the palace maids to take some for washing, and divided the remaining fruits into five portions, sending one portion to Cining Palace, one to the Princess's Mansion, and the other to the Chu family, Prince Jin's Mansion, and Prince Huai's Mansion, saying that the emperor picked them himself.
The three children surrounded their father and praised him for his superb skills in using hidden weapons.
Lu Wei asked, "When can the child learn?"
"Once you have mastered archery first, it will not be difficult to learn hidden weapons later."
"But how can the Queen Mother learn several things at the same time?"
Lu Jingzhuo smiled and said, "Your mother is different."
Lu Wei asked why they were different, but Lu Jingzhuo did not answer.
He had promised Chu Yin that he would teach her whatever she wanted to learn, and he wouldn't care whether she could master it or not, as long as she was happy.
The palace maids brought some cut fruit, and the family of five sat together to enjoy it.
Fruity aroma.
After eating, Lu Zhen heard her brother instruct Xiaodou to prepare some pomegranates and pears and bring them to Chunhui Pavilion for Fu Yue tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, in less than a year, the relationship between his brother and him became so good. Lu Zhen asked Lu Wei curiously: "Has Master Fu grown a little taller?"
"Yeah." He was as tall as Fu Yue, and he was not able to catch up with her at all.
The boy's handsome appearance came to Lu Zhen's mind, and she suddenly wanted to go and take a look.
The next day she went to Chunhui Pavilion under the pretext of looking for her brother.
Seeing his sister outside the door, Lu Yu whispered to Fu Yue: "If she mentions playing tricks again, just ignore her."
Fu Yue smiled and said nothing.
When the princess asked about juggling, he could have not mentioned Fei Wan, but somehow, when he saw that lovely face, he inexplicably wanted to satisfy her. Perhaps he really wanted to have a younger sister.
"Brother," Lu Zhen called Lu Yu, then looked at Fu Yue, "Have you eaten the fruit that brother gave you?"
"Your Highness, I haven't had time to taste it yet."
"That was picked by my father using my gold leaves. It's especially delicious." Lu Zhen looked him up and down and found that he was indeed taller. Standing next to his brother, the two of them had completely different auras.
Her brother and she are both like children, but he is not.
"Mr. Fu, do you have a younger sister?" she asked.
"I have no brothers or sisters."
Lu Zhen was disappointed for a moment.
If Fu Yue had a younger sister, she could also ask her mother to let that girl come to the palace to study with her.
Although her mother would accompany her to class, it was impossible for her to be with her from beginning to end.
As for why it was a girl from the Fu family, it was because Fu Yue had already won the trust of his brother, and his father and mother seemed quite satisfied with him. The Fu family should have a good family tradition, so if there was a Miss Fu, she should be a good person as well.
The two people didn't know what she was thinking. Lu Wei said, "We still have to continue the class. Zhen'er, you go back first."
Lu Zhen's eyes turned and she said, "Brother, can I listen to you guys as well?"
Because it happened so suddenly, Lu Wei didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeing the princess's eager look, Fu Yue advised, "Your Highness, it should be okay for once."
Lu Wei agreed.
The prince and the princess were still young, and the lecturer they met today happened to be lenient, so they just turned a blind eye. Lu Zhen sat behind them with a smile, listening to the lecture attentively.
Soon, she discovered that her brother was learning completely different things from her.
Gently poking Fu Yue's back with her finger, she asked softly, "Is this what you hear every day?"
"Yes." He replied in a low voice.
There was an unknown fragrance coming from the little girl, as sweet as she was.
He asked, “But you don’t understand?”
"No, I understand..." Lu Zhen didn't want to admit it, "I usually listen to the lectures."
He smiled softly and didn't expose her.
After a while, he handed me a book: "It's not enough to just listen, you have to read it too."
At that moment, Lu Zhen suddenly understood why her brother liked Mr. Fu.
He is so nice!
Lu Zhen glanced at the boy's profile and smiled sweetly: "Well, thank you."
The two of them were talking in low voices. Lu Wei watched them all. He wondered why his sister didn't ask him first, but asked Fu Yue instead. Fu Yue was the same. His sister just listened casually, but he actually lent her a book...
But he didn't stop it.
These are the people he cares about, so this is better than disharmony.
After that, Lu Zhen went to Chunhui Pavilion every few days.
The lecturers reported the matter to Lu Jingzhuo, who told them not to worry about it and just focus on teaching.
He didn't care whether his daughter had to marry Fu Yue, but Chu Yin hoped that the two of them could still be husband and wife like in their previous life, so he wouldn't deliberately destroy it. If it could happen, at least Chu Yin would be satisfied.
Lu Zhen and Fu Yue met often and became more and more familiar with each other. Lu Zhen often brought snacks to Fu Yue, and Fu Yue would give her some special snacks that the chefs in the palace could not make.
Lu Zhen brought it back and shared it with her mother and brother.
Chu Yin felt relieved and thought that the two would definitely continue their relationship.
Before we knew it, it’s the winter solstice again.
It snowed heavily yesterday and the ground was covered with white.
The eldest son and daughter are already eight years old, and they may not like snow lions and snow rabbits, but Chu Yin still ordered the eunuchs to make two of them.
Lu Yu was so excited when he saw this that he asked Luo to carry him into the snow.
Lu Jingzhuo came back very early that day and had ordered the chefs to prepare delicious food in advance. He let the children dine with them in the evening, and the party was lively for a long time.
Thinking of the last winter solstice, Chu Yin sighed: "Another year has passed."
"There will be many more years in the future, Yin, and I will be with you on this day every year," he held her in his arms and kissed her, "Yin, I will never let you feel afraid again."
In fact, she had already let it go, but he remembered it again. Chu Yin put her arms around his neck and said, "Your Majesty is so kind!"
He stroked her cheek: "How good is it?"
"It's the best in the world."
He smiled and brushed his fingertips across her lips: "Should I be rewarded?"
"Hmm? How to reward?"
His eyes suddenly became somewhat deep.
Chu Yin felt something was wrong, and the ears, tail, and the matter of "accepting punishment" emerged in her mind.
"Not just any reward will do..." He was being cunning.
But it was too late, the man had already carried her to the bed.
Chu Yin grabbed his sleeve: "No, I don't want to wear that..."
"What?" He was stunned.
"That's it, a tail, ears, or something weird."
He actually didn't think about that, and didn't know why Chu Yin brought it up.
He chuckled: "Not impossible, I'll go get it now."
Chu Yin: “…”
She didn't mean to wear it.
And he really didn't throw those things away, he still kept them.
Pushing the man aside, she said righteously, "Your Majesty, you have always been wise and far-sighted. You should know what can be done and what cannot be done. I really don't know why you have such a preference. I am really afraid that you will fall into the mud... You should turn back!"
She suddenly gave him some serious advice, which made Lu Jingzhuo full of doubts.
"Why do you want to turn back? I just took off my ears. What else did I do?"
You know the answer but still ask!
Chu Yin bit her lip and said, "I saw the book on the bookshelf in the Palace of Heavenly Purity..."
"What book?" Lu Jingzhuo was puzzled.
"I saw a fox demon in a book about gods and monsters. You asked me to wear ears because you wanted to be with the demon... You can't keep doing this."
It turned out that she actually discovered those two books that day.
Lu Jingzhuo coughed lightly: "Ayin, don't misunderstand me."
"I have no misunderstanding. There are not only fox spirits in your book, but also other spirits... I wonder if you did something else because of this, and you want me to pretend to be another spirit."
Can I dress up as other monsters? They don't seem as cute as the fox fairy, right?
No, now is not the time to think about that.
Lu Jingzhuo said seriously: "Ayin, do you know why I read this book?"
"I really want to know."
"Because you could predict the future and didn't tell me, I thought you were some kind of fairy, so I went to investigate." He held Chu Yin's hand. "Ayin, I first thought that you might be a fox fairy."
Was it her fault?
Chu Yin was shocked: "Why do you think so?"
"Can I guess that you were reborn? I can only guess elsewhere."
Too.
If it were her, she might also have wild thoughts.
Chu Yin lowered her eyes: "So, before I told you, you always thought I was a fox fairy?"
"Um."
"Why is it a fox fairy?"
"Because it's cute."
"...Aren't you afraid?" Chu Yin said, "They are not human, they might bite you! Some books have mentioned that they can even take your life."
"Don't be afraid," he ruffled her hair, "I'm just worried that you will leave me."
On that winter solstice, he did hold her very tightly.
Chu Yin's nose suddenly felt sore for some reason: "It turns out that His Majesty can also be stupid sometimes."
"I'm stupid when it comes to you." He put his finger on her chin and lifted it up gently. "Ayin, whether you are a human or a fairy, I like you."
Her eyelashes fluttered: "Where is the monster?"
“I like it, too.”
"Where are the snake demon and the bear demon?"
"…I like them all."
She sighed softly and snuggled into his arms: "How silly."
This is what it means to like someone. Lu Jingzhuo said, "I am so stupid, shouldn't you pity me?"
He kissed her: "Ayin..."
The voice is low and seductive.
"Ayin."
Chu Yin couldn't stand his nagging any more: "Okay, got it."
It’s just pretending to be a fox fairy.
His fox fairy.
But if she is really a fox fairy, will she be willing to leave him on the winter solstice?
Her eyes swept across the man's face, and Chu Yin thought, she would never do that.
I have already decided to grow old with him.
I only envy the ducks, not the fairies.
