Chapter 8: The heart that has been silent for thousands of years until death beats slowly
Lu Pheasant's chess skills are not bad.
She and the four little sisters are all masters of layout. After thousands of years of thinking, they may not necessarily be called the top, but they are enough to defeat many people.
The old guy was good at nothing else, but his chess skills were also top-notch. But later on, when he reached a high position, he became increasingly intolerant of disobedience from others.
Lu Pheasant also learned a set of chess skills on how to coax people.
In Lu Zhi's targeted chess skills, Yinzhen went to the study room during the day and came to the main courtyard of Fujin at night to play chess with her, which was quite interesting.
It's just that the one used is not Wu's jade chess piece, but another box of obsidian chess pieces that Yinzhen found.
Speaking of gifts, Lu Pheasant received something from Yinzhen every day after her wedding.
First there were the precious ornaments and jades, the silks and satins in the warehouse, the snacks and supper from the kitchen, and then the good calligraphy and paintings that Yinzhen occasionally got.
Lu Pheasant picked around and chose a picture of an old man fishing in the cold river that she most liked, and hung it in the main hall.
After Yinzhen came back, he looked at it a few more times and asked, "Why did you choose this painting?"
Lu Pheasant used the pot of mutton that was stewed today to be delicious. He looked up at Yinzhen, smiled slightly and said, "I don't know why, but I closed my eyes and liked it."
When Yinzhen heard this, his hand holding the bamboo shoot duck in clear soup shook slightly.
Today, Fujin is wearing a primrose-colored tapestry palace dress with lotus and curly patterns. On one side of his hair, there are peacock-dotted emeralds, and on the other side are lotus-colored red pistil palace flowers. It is fresh and elegant, gentle and beautiful, yet still beautiful. She is dignified and quiet, which perfectly suits her status and age.
Her little deer eyes were smiling crookedly, and there was a slightly red tear mole in the corner of her right face. Under the shadow of the lamp, she spoke such calm and plausible truths, but for no reason, Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat.
It was a random drawing by him without any signature. It was mixed among a group of calligraphy and paintings by everyone, but Fujin actually picked it out alone.
If he hadn't confirmed that no one knew about it when he was painting, he would have doubted whether someone knew everything about Xiao Fujin.
It was night, when Lu Pheasant noticed that Yinzhen was playing chess, he was frequently distracted and kept looking at the fishing pictures in the main hall.
She yawned, thinking that she might not have a chance to eat supper today, so she took the lead to wash up and go to bed.
After an unknown amount of time, Yinzhen followed up.
After confirming that Fujin was not moving, for some reason, he got up again.
When the quilt was almost cold, he came back with a mysterious smile on his face.
Being chilled by the cold air on the bed, Yinzhen looked at Fujin's peaceful and peaceful sleeping face in front of him. These days, her cheeks were a little more plump than before. She looked gentle and majestic during the day, but she could feel it at night. A bit childish and cute.
Thinking of her vivid expression when she said "I like", Yinzhen almost reached out and touched the eye-catching mole on her right cheek.
In the end, he just held Fujin Lian in his arms to keep him warm.
These days, after Fujin's unknown sleeping position frequently wakes him up, he will hold someone in his arms in the second half of the night.
He often wakes up earlier in the morning, so his sleepy little Fujin still doesn't know about it.
He only loved the way her eyes looked confused when she woke up but couldn't help but cling to him, so he always had to wait until she woke up before leaving.
Tomorrow is the day to go home, and he has to behave well.

The next day, Lu Pheasant got up late for some reason.
The ninth day after the wedding is the day for the newlyweds in the imperial city to return home. According to the etiquette, they must return before noon, let alone stay overnight.
Lu Pheasant was worried about the cowpox studied by doctors outside, and had been looking forward to the day when he would leave the palace.
But for some reason, there seemed to be movement and squirming last night, which disturbed her from sleeping peacefully.
When he woke up, the little beloved was already sitting on the kang with red kite-colored geometric pattern cushions, still flipping through the ancient book he always kept in his hands.
It was a rare sunny day outside, and the dim light of the morning light shone through the diamond-shaped window on his profile, which was like a knife carving. From the forehead, the root of the mountain, the bridge of the nose, the thin lips, the chin to the lower jaw, the lines were smooth and the contours were perfect.
Lu Zhi couldn't move his eyes away again and called him softly: "Master..."
Yinzhen heard the early morning oriole's cry, and realized that the problem he had secretly solved last night was getting stronger again. He sighed secretly, raised his head and said, "Fu Jin is awake. It's time to get up."
"Well..." Lu Zhi got up in a muffled voice, yawning, and let Pin'er toss and turn on her body to get dressed.
Yinzhen ordered people to place the breakfast in the dining room on the Eight Immortals table and wait quietly.
Lu Pheasant felt a little guilty and said, "Sir, is it too late?"
"There's no rush." Yinzhen also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to leave the palace today to do something. Everyone in the palace said hello and told him to come back later.
In this way, it will be easier for Fujin to talk to his family.
He loved watching his little Fujin eat, which really whetted one's appetite.
Every move of Ulanara's family was cute and real. Yinzhen never spoke, but he felt very happy in his heart.
As soon as he got out of the palace and got on the carriage, Lu Pheasant dozed off again. It seemed that he had become accustomed to pampering himself recently, and he couldn't adapt to a restless night's sleep.
Thinking about her previous life, she spent half of her life in poverty, and after entering the palace in the position of queen, she still had trouble sleeping and eating. Even in the end, she rarely slept peacefully.
After his death, he arrived in Fengdu. Although he was open-minded and cheerful, he would often wake up in the middle of the night and find it difficult to fall asleep again whenever he thought of the past.
However, when she came to the human world, she was originally in poor health. In order to support her, she ate and slept. When she got married and entered the Forbidden City, the sweethearts in her elder brother's house treated her with considerate care.
She had inquired and found out that the ancestors of Empress Dowager De were the head diners, so it goes without saying how many of Concubine De's people were in the diners in the Forbidden City.
No matter how bad the relationship between Yinzhen and his mother and concubine is, they are now on the same boat, so the dining room naturally pays special attention to the courtyard where the fourth brother's elder brother lives.
After entering the palace, he could eat delicious food at any time, and with a handsome brother like Yinzhen around, Lu Pheasant had not felt uneasy for a long time.
Yinzhen watched little Fujin's body move, and consciously moved to her side, successfully catching his wife's restless little head.
Get into a good posture and consciously act as her human pillow.
The residence of Ulanara Feyangu was not far away, and the prince brought Fujin back home, which was of course the most honorable treatment.
Yinzhen was banqueting and drinking with Fei Yanggu and his four brothers in the front hall.
He has always been cold-faced and taciturn. He didn't speak during the dinner, and it was difficult for everyone to speak.
He eats vegetables, and others eat vegetables; he drinks wine, and others drink.
Yinzhen quickly suggested that he go to the courtyard to get some fresh air so that everyone could feel at ease.
While Lu Pheasant was still having family time with his original Fujin in the backyard, a servant came over to tell him that the Fourth Master was going to the back garden to get some fresh air at this moment, and asked Fujin to come over and accompany him.
Yinzhen was too drunk, and Lu Pheasant knew this. She quickly got up and went to look for him.
However, the servants took her to her former boudoir, where the fourth master was standing under the tall ginkgo tree in her courtyard.
The people on the road are like jade, and the gentlemen are like no other in the world.
He stood quietly, and this scene was like a painting, imprinted in Lu Pheasant's heart.
She had lived for thousands of years, but at this moment, she felt that her heart, which had been silent until death, began to beat slowly.
Just as Lu Zhi was about to step forward, he found another woman approaching her young child under the ginkgo tree.
