Xiao Min held his forehead and thought with a wry smile, he seemed to have too poor self-control, as if every time he was by Ah Rui's side, he would become unable to extricate himself and want to get close to her.

But Ah Rui is still too young after all, and he once asked the imperial doctor in the palace, but the situation is not beneficial to her.

Reluctant to marry before she could get married, Xiao Min already felt guilty, and wished that everything had been done for her, and now it made Xiao Min think about whether to move to the study for a while.

On the second day, when Lu Bingzhen was awake, it was noon without accident. "Cutting ice", Lu Bingzhen was not awake yet, and subconsciously shouted vaguely.

It was not the soft and fragrant arms that often served her in the boudoir that lifted her, but the strong arms of a man.

Lu Bingzhen suddenly became completely conscious, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Min's smiling face. Looking a little farther away, you can see that there are still stacks of folds stacked on the desk not far from the bed, probably Xiao Min moved the folds into the Jinghe Hall for correction, so that she could appear in front of her the moment she was sober.

Xiao Min lovingly brushed the hair stuck to Lu Bingzhen's cheeks, and asked softly, "Are you hungry?" Lonely asked people to prepare lunch. Let's get up and wash up. Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Min added, "If you are still sleepy, go to bed after lunch." ”

Lu Bingzhen got up like a stream, cut ice and melted snow, and then went inside to serve.

After Lu Bingzhen finished washing, when she sat at the table again to eat, she had a sudden feeling that she had somehow finished two days after marriage.

"Rui, tomorrow is the day to return home. Lone asked people to prepare all kinds of things to use when they returned to the door, and later you will see if there are any things that are missing, and Lone will ask them to fill them in. ”

Hearing that he could go home, Lu Bingzhen smiled picturesquely, "Qingyan, thank you." Stuff for them to prepare according to the convention. ”

After the meal, the father-in-law of Fushuang stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the lotus flowers in the Yichun Garden are in full bloom right now, and the slave asked people to drag the cruise ship out to brush the oil and go into the water a few days ago." Are you going to go to the Yichun Garden to enjoy the flowers today? ”

Regarding this garden that has been repeatedly mentioned before, Lu Bingzhen was also a little curious. Xiao Min saw that she had some intentions, and motioned for Fushuang to go down and prepare first.

In the Yichun Garden, a small boat with carved beams and beautifully decorated buildings pushed away the lotus leaves on both sides and walked forward slowly. There were only Lu Bingzhen and Xiao Min on the boat, and there was no boatman, and the boat was being dragged forward by the boat in front at the moment.

The lotus leaves covered the sky and the sun, and the two of them seemed to be isolated from the outside world on this small boat, only hearing the sound of the water murmuring and the sound of flowers and leaves blowing each other on the side of the boat.

On a whim, Lu Bingzhen reached out to pick the lotus flowers on the side of the boat. She is naturally strange, but she usually carefully controls her strength, so as not to accidentally reveal her clues in front of outsiders. Nowadays, it is easy to fold just a lotus flower.

There was no one around, and Xiao Min's eyes never left Lu Bingzhen from beginning to end. Although Lu Bingzhen didn't understand the friendship in Xiao Min's eyes, he couldn't help but have crimson clouds on his cheeks and became more and more red.

Lu Bingzhen looked left and right, pretending to carefully look at the lotus flower in his hand for a while, and studying the fragrance on the table for a while. Seeing her disguised appearance as if nothing had happened, Xiao Min smiled slightly, and raised his hand to pour her a cup of chilled plum soup.

As if he had finally noticed something, Lu Bingzhen opened his mouth and asked, "Qingyan, why did you ask me to call your cousin?" Actually, I'm used to calling you Your Highness. “

"If you really get used to it, then you won't still call yourself me, but you will call yourself a concubine. Rui, you can't fool others, in fact, you don't like such a hierarchical palace. Even if you are Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess with a noble status, the Queen Mother will be the same in the future. ”

Lu Bingzhen subconsciously wanted to refute Xiao Min's words, touching Xiao Min's gentle but sure eyes, and suddenly felt that there was no need to say it, she finally just said sullenly, "It's because the rules in the concubine's palace are not learned well, which makes His Highness laugh." “

That's more than she wanted to say, but that's all she could say.

"Ah Rui, since Lone asked you to call the table word, I just don't care about this. To be my crown princess, the rules of the palace and even taking care of affairs are secondary. There is a way to make it impossible to spread the slightest thing in the East Palace that is not conducive to the crown princess. Lone doesn't like you to call me Your Highness, and I don't like you to call yourself a concubine, it's best if you just stay by Lone's side happily like before. ”

For a moment, Lu Bingzhen wanted to throw himself into Xiao Min's arms, but the girl's shyness and the matter of Princess Zhaolie mentioned by Mrs. Li before the wedding came to her heart. She stopped her movements, just staring at Xiao Min for a long time, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

Her thoughts were almost all perceived by Xiao Min. Xiao Min grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is used to seeing people's hearts, not to mention that Lu Bingzhen seems to subconsciously think that he doesn't need to hide his thoughts from Xiao Min, and he has almost never concealed them from beginning to end.

His reaction made Xiao Min love and hate, what he loved was her honesty with him, and what he hated was her distrust. Xiao Min loves Lu Bingzhen's frankness and sincerity, although he will never have these in his life, he is still willing to do his best to take care of these.

With a long sigh in his heart, Xiao Min still rationally changed the topic. In such an environment where there are no one around, just the two of them, it seems easier to open up.

"Ah Rui, if you are really used to everything in the palace, then you will not be so hesitant when Master Yang wants to enter the palace with you. Ordinary people will only think of being the dowry of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and the future will be infinitely beautiful in the East Palace, and maybe she will become the person in front of the emperor and queen in the future.

The closer you are to the center of power, the more rights you can get, even if they are not the ones who hold the power itself. However, you are more worried about the strictness of the palace, which shows that you are not used to the rules of the palace, and you do not recognize that it is an honor to serve in the East Palace. “

After a moment of silence, Lu Bingzhen hesitated to speak, "Actually, it's not entirely like this, I actually know this in my heart. I just feel that after I am not enslaved, I can't decide my every move or even life and death, and whether it is good or bad depends on the master's thoughts. This kind of helplessness is the most helpless thing I feel. ”

Xiao Min, who keenly sensed some kind of truth from it, immediately asked, "So what Wang Jian promised you at that time was not to grow old together and be unswerving, but to let you participate in local political affairs as before, and even share rights equally with you?" “

Lu Bingzhen didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so entangled in the past when she and Wang Jian met a few times, but he still replied, "Yes." He did promise me that, but it was all in the past. ”

"But compared to the dignity of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, a rich and glorious life, is this what you really want? Fern. Lu Bingzhen wanted to deny it, but she was silent when she met Xiao Min's gaze, but her subconscious told her that she still needed to explain the matter, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"Qingyan, the cousin of the Wang family did make such a promise to me. It's just that for me, I would prefer to marry into the East Palace. ”

With Xiao Min's understanding of Lu Bingzhen, she has the pride and nobility of a family daughter, and she doesn't bother to lie about this matter at all, she said that she is more willing to marry into the East Palace, that is, she is more willing to marry into the East Palace with real feelings. It's just that the reason for this is not as good as he expected, and most of it is the result of considering various things.

Sure enough, Xiao Min heard Lu Bingzhen say calmly, "Because I don't want His Royal Highness King Yu to replace His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the master of the world in the future, it will be a future where life is miserable and the people are in dire straits." Qingyan, you are the one who can create a prosperous world for the people of the world."

Xiao Min was taken aback, he didn't expect Lu Bingzhen to belittle King Yu so bluntly, and then he was happy for her complete trust in her words, and couldn't help but sigh, "Ah Rui, if you want to please anyone, I'm afraid that no one can resist you." “

It's just that Xiao Min thought of the intention behind King Yu and Gu Guifei's mother and son deliberately calling Lu Bingzhen to Baojing Tower during the Dragon Boat Festival, and a haze appeared in his eyes. King Yu has always been like this in recent years, everything that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants or that is already in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, King Yu wants to compete for one or two.

Looking at the little wife who was still a little childish in front of him, his crown princess, Xiao Min thought coldly, "If King Yu dares to think about Ah Rui again, he will let him die without a place to be buried." ”

Not noticing the gloom in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Bingzhen suddenly remembered the longbow that Tuo Xiaomin brought into the East Palace. This thing should not be known to too many people, but it is the property of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and now is a good opportunity to ask.

"Qingyan, where is my Folding Spring Bow now? It's something I love and I want to keep it with me. ”

Withdrawing from the bad memory, Xiao Min replied unhurriedly, "Now in my study." However, Ah Rui, it is not recommended that you put this thing in the Jinghe Palace, and the newlywed palace should not have this murder weapon. If you still put it in my study, you can go to my study and get it whenever you want. ”

Lu Bingzhen misunderstood what he meant, "Naturally, I won't put the sword and weapons in the newlywed room, but after I return to the door, according to the palace rules, I will move to the palace of the crown princess, and I can put it over there at that time." ”

Xiao Min was silent for a while before he said, "Ah Rui, it's better to be like this." Before the wedding, Gu cleaned up a study room in the warm pavilion near the palace for you to use in the future. Zhequan, it's better to put it in this study.

As for the palace of the crown princess, there is no one in the East Palace. Hearing this, Lu Bingzhen was stunned.

According to the regulations, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess each have a main hall in the East Palace, which are far away. Then why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that there is no such palace?
