Turning to the first page, there was a very elegant preface written on it, stating that this volume of paintings came from an amazingly talented painter and was exclusively for the royal family and was not allowed to be sold to the public.

Lou Jing touched his chin. This book should have been placed with the small ink box when decorating the new house. I don't know if His Highness the Prince has read it.

Then flipping back, the first picture is of two men hugging each other and lying down. The faces of the two men cannot be seen in the picture. It must be deliberately blurred. Except for the face, other parts of the picture are very clear, with thin brushstrokes.

The outlined lines are smooth and lifelike.

Slowly turning over page after page, they are basically pictures. Occasionally, there will be one or two sentences marked in the blank space, such as "When you first accept love, the husband is in unbearable pain. Don't rush forward. Take pictures slowly..."

The afternoon wind blew through the window, bringing with it the scorching sun and the coolness of early autumn, blowing the bright red curtains and swaying gently. Lou Jing lay on the bed, hugging the big pillow and the book "Yang Palace"

, slept soundly, and the scene in the dream was charming and warm.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's court clothes were complicated and luxurious. The eunuch who was the ceremonial officer had specially taught him to remove the girdle first and then take off the belt. Lou Jing skilfully peeled off the court clothes one by one, and the people underneath him looked at him quietly.

He still had the same handsome face, but the two ears hidden in his hair slowly turned red, telling his shyness and helplessness. He couldn't help but lean down and kiss that beautiful chest,

But no matter how close he got, he couldn't see clearly what the chest looked like...

Lou Jing suddenly woke up from her dream and found that she was still lying on the bed. There were two intertwined men drawn on the book in front of her. The man underneath was hunched over, and the muscles in his neck were tight, as if in pain.

It also seemed like joy. On the one hand, I was surprised by the dream I had just had, but on the other hand, I couldn't help but think about it. If the one who was pressed down below was His Highness the Crown Prince...

Her body couldn't stop getting hot. Lou Jing closed the book and raised her hand to touch the sweat on her face. She was a little stunned for a moment. She slowly sat up and covered her face with one hand. The sunlight filtered in through her fingers.

The beautiful feeling in the dream still seems to remain in the palm.

He and Xiao Chengjun only had a mutually beneficial relationship between monarch and minister. He originally wanted to use his appearance to get more benefits from His Highness, but it had only been two days and things seemed to be getting out of control.

If you want to seduce others, you will be tempted first...

Lou Jing slid down dejectedly and buried his face in the quilt. He felt that he had never been so worthless in his life.

When Xiao Chengjun came back, he saw the Crown Princess hiding her head and feeding it like a big insect. He couldn't help but laugh, and his originally dull heart suddenly became lighter. His Royal Highness sat down by the bed and patted her head.

Big Chongzi asked, "Don't you want to take a nap? What are you doing?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the books scattered on the pillow, and he raised his hand to take them over, "What are you reading..."

His Royal Highness, the word "book" got stuck in his throat. When he saw the title of the book clearly, he couldn't say it immediately.

Lou Jing got out of the quilt and saw His Highness the Crown Prince's expression, and immediately understood, "Has Your Highness read this book?"

"Before we got married... I read..." Xiao Chengjun held the book, neither putting it down nor holding it, so he could only freeze. Before getting married, there would be someone in the palace to teach the prince these things, but this time the wedding was too hasty and no instructions were given.

He was arranging the marriage, so he casually flipped through this book twice, but unexpectedly it was shelved in the new house.

Seeing His Highness the Prince's ears turn from white to pink, and then gradually turn to agate color under his questioning, Lou Jing felt as if his heart had been scratched, and wanted to bite him. Thinking like this, he

He slowly came closer and was about to bite it when His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stood up and said, "It's time to go pay your respects to the Empress."

Lou Jing half-opened her mouth, watching His Highness the Crown Prince stand up solemnly, and looked at him solemnly. She had no choice but to close her mouth, get up and get dressed, pretending not to notice Xiao Chengjun's flushed ears.

The gleaming Red Sky Sword was hung on the wall of the inner room. Lou Jing reached out to take it, but was stopped by Xiao Chengjun, "You can only walk now, so don't show off. It's not too late to compete with my father and empress in a few days."

Lou Jing thought about it. Nowadays, it is serious to recover from injuries as soon as possible. There is really no rush to please her mother-in-law, so she gave up and went to Fengyi Palace empty-handed.

Empress Ji still looked solemn and peaceful, spending day after day in this lonely palace, and she never seemed to feel bored.

"Did you go to Luanyi Palace last night?" Ji Zuo's cold and handsome face looked a little serious.

"Yes," Xiao Chengjun responded respectfully, "yesterday the censor Geng Zhuo was sent to prison. My son and I were very worried. We asked to see our father but were summoned to Luanyi Palace."

The queen was silent for a moment and said coldly: "During the wedding, the crown prince is not allowed to interfere in politics. How did you learn the rules?"

Xiao Chengjun was stunned, and immediately stood up from his chair and knelt down, "My son was reckless."

When Lou Jing heard this, his heart tightened. It was a blessing that the prince did not have to participate in politics during the ten days of his wedding. Historically, the more virtuous princes would not rest for ten days. How come Xiao Chengjun was here to stop him from participating in politics?

"In the past few days, I am afraid that the chaos in the court will become more and more chaotic. Remember, even if the Prime Minister is sent to prison, you cannot go to the Emperor to plead for mercy." Ji Zuo looked straight at the kneeling Prince, "I understand.

?”

Xiao Chengjun raised his head, looked at the queen's cold eyes, and said slowly: "Please remember this."

"Get up," Ji Zhuo sighed, "Remember, in front of your father, you can only show weakness, not strength."

"Yes." Xiao Chengjun did not sit down, and Lou Jing had no choice but to stand up and follow the instructions.

The queen looked at Lou Jing, who was standing with the prince, her face softened a little, and her tone became softer, "Zhuoyu also needs to remember that the status of the concubines in this palace is not comparable to yours. Whenever you meet them, you have to wait for them to salute you.

, just give me half a salute, even if you are a noble concubine, you will not give in at all."

"Yes, I will obey my father's teachings." Lou Jing responded respectfully, secretly admiring the Queen's methods.

The prince showed weakness and showed courtesy to the concubine. However, the prince who had just passed the door and was from a prominent family followed the rules and waited for the concubines to bow first. On the one hand, he reminded the emperor of the grievances the prince had suffered on a daily basis, and on the other hand, he frightened other people in the palace so that they did not dare to

I despised the East Palace.

Because Emperor Chunde often went to the harem early, the princes and princesses were spared the morning and dusk inspections two years ago. They came out of Fengyi Palace and went directly back to the East Palace.

Lying in bed at night, Lou Jing was still thinking about what she heard in Fengyi Palace today.

Why did the ten-day abstention from participating in the coup become the ten-day abstention from politics? Could it be that the emperor was so suspicious of the prince that he regarded some unwritten rules as golden rules? If the prince violated it, would it threaten the imperial power?

Turning over and lying on his side, he looked at Xiao Chengjun in the bed and found that he was not asleep either. Lou Jing then remembered that His Highness seemed to have said few words when he came back from Fengyi Palace, "Your Highness, can't you sleep?"

Xiao Chengjun turned to look at him and was silent for a long time. When Lou Jing thought that he didn't want to speak, he whispered: "Zhuo Yu, am I incompetent as a prince?" He has kept a low profile for so many years, and everyone has asked him.

He thought he was mediocre and incompetent, but he didn't want his princess to see him that way.

Lou Jing was stunned for a moment. This was the first time His Highness the Crown Prince called his name. Looking at those dark eyes reflecting the light of the moon, she felt inexplicably distressed. "If you can't bear it, you are doing it for the world. Tolerating it is also doing it for the world."

.

Xiao Chengjun looked at him blankly and nodded slowly. His princess knew what justice was, "It was the same when Wang Jian died. His father clearly agreed to let him go, but he was sentenced to death the next day."

Decide."

Wang Jian was the governor of Jinzhou a few years ago. That year he was in charge of building the Great Wall. Suddenly, there was a heavy rain, which destroyed a section of the unfinished city wall. Some people accused him of embezzling money for the construction, and he was imprisoned before he could be found out.

After he was killed, everyone ransacked his home, but they only saw the impoverished home and the people of Jinzhou crying loudly.

His father asked him to endure it, and he understood and could endure it. However, seeing a loyal and good minister die unjustly and be imprisoned, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Lou Jing sighed, stretched out her hand to hug Xiao Chengjun into her arms, "The most tiring thing in this world is the one who cares about the world. Your Highness, just do your best and don't make things difficult for yourself."

His Highness the Crown Prince stiffened, then slowly relaxed. They were husband and wife, and there was no harm in doing these intimate things, so he stretched out his hand and put his arm around the Crown Princess's back.

The warm and strong chest and the cool and cold fragrance of grass and trees soothed the pain in his heart. Xiao Chengjun smiled slightly and said, "Zhuoyu, how about I call you by your name from now on?"

"Okay," Lou Jing stretched out her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt behind Xiao Chengjun, "then what should I call your highness?"

"In private, you can call me by my name."

"Isn't that disrespectful?"

"It doesn't matter."

…

The two of them stopped talking about serious matters, chatting about insignificant things from time to time, and fell asleep deeply in each other's warm body temperature.

During the wedding period, the prince ignored government affairs for ten days. Now that Emperor Chunde was suspicious, Xiao Chengjun had no intention of showing off his virtues, so these ten days were very leisurely.

The next day, after breakfast, they got into a carriage and headed straight to the farm in the west of the city.

"What did you plant with your own hands in the farm?" Xiao Chengjun did not forget what Lou Jing said yesterday, so he asked him on the carriage.

Lou Jing smiled and said, "Your Highness, you will know after you take a look."

The west part of the city is basically fertile farmland owned by distinguished families. Lou Jing’s farm is not small, but it is not the largest either. The farmhouse is next to a small mound with many fruit trees planted on it. Autumn is the time when various fruits are ripe.

, but no one picked them from the top, letting the ripe ones roll down.

"I have met the Crown Prince." As soon as the carriage stopped, a burly man came up and saluted.

"Gao Yi?" Xiao Chengjun met Gao Yi, Lou Jing's personal bodyguard, at Duke Anguo's Mansion. The person in front of him looked exactly like Gao Yi, but he always felt there was something different.

"He is Gao Yi's brother, his name is Gao Yun, and they are twins," Lou Jing said with a smile, "Gao Yun, call everyone here, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gao Yun raised his head, glanced at his master in surprise, then at Xiao Chengjun beside him, and knelt down in a hurry, "The common people have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."
