Lu Tiesheng shrank his neck and reached out to catch the shoe sole thrown by Wang Xuelan.
"A gentleman talks but doesn't take action. Why did you take action?"
Wang Xuelan rolled her eyes.
"Why am I, an old woman, a gentleman like that? Do you still want to follow the rules of this capital and set rules for me?"
Lu Tiesheng waved his hands hurriedly.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I never said this, please don't accuse me wrongly."
Wang Xuelan snorted.
"I'm sorry you don't have the guts either."
Several people in the hall heard the two fighting, and they all suppressed their laughter.
Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe looked at each other and saw Lu Xinghe getting up and pulling her up from her seat.
"Grandma, father and mother, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
Wang Xuelan put down the shoe soles in her hands.
"Go quickly, have a good rest, your health is important."
Lu Xinghe nodded, then pulled Chu Yue out of the main hall and returned to their courtyard.
As soon as he returned to the house, he held Chu Yue in his arms.
"These days, not only do you have to take care of me, but you also have to cook medicinal meals for me with my mother. It's hard work."
Chu Yue was in his arms, shaking her head obediently.
"It's not hard. Many things are done by servants. Compared with the past when I had to do everything myself, I feel much more relaxed now."
Lu Xinghe held her face, a trace of softness flashed across his face.
"I have almost recovered from my injury. The Imperial College has a lot of affairs, so it is not easy to rest for too long. I will go to court in two days."
Chu Yue pursed her lips.
"It's not impossible to go to court, but you have to treat your injury carefully and don't use force to avoid the wound opening."
He has been recovering at home for more than ten days now, and the stitches on the wound on his back have long been removed. As long as he does not exercise strenuously, he will generally be fine.
Lu Xinghe smiled.
"It's okay, I know what's going on."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Chu Yue's lips.
The two have been married for more than half a month now, and the last time they had sex was at the royal hunting ground more than ten days ago.
For more than ten days, Lu Xinghe had endured so much pain, and Chu Yue didn't dare to let him mess around even though he was injured.
Even if they were affectionate occasionally, they would only go as far as possible.
But this time, Lu Xinghe seemed not to want to let Chu Yue go.
Chu Yue panicked in her heart and pulled away from Lu Xinghe's arms by grabbing the collar that exposed half of her shoulders.
She gasped.
"Ms. sir, no, you have to heal your injury."
Lu Xinghe's dark eyes were filled with unquenchable desire. He stretched out his long arms and took Chu Yue into his arms again. Their foreheads touched, and he said in a low voice, "The injury is fine."
Chu Yue's eyes were as bright as water and her cheeks were red. Although she was moved, she was still worried about Lu Xinghe's body.
"It's only been ten days, how can it be okay?"
"I know my body well." Lu Xinghe turned his head and kissed Chu Yue's red lips, "Doctor Zhang has given me injections in recent days. In the past three months, I have not had to take contraceptive pills every month. "
Chu Yue was slightly stunned and looked up at him.
"You have been sneaking around to see Master these days. Is this the reason for this?"
Of course she knew this method of acupuncture. Although it would not cause any damage to the body, it would require continuous acupuncture for ten days.
Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but you also have to take pills.
This method can last up to three months. After three months, acupuncture must be used to recover, otherwise it will cause damage to the body.
This fool!
It is actually much easier for her to take medicine, and it does no harm to her body.
Where can I use such complicated methods to prevent pregnancy?
Lu Xinghe hummed.
"I asked Doctor Zhang before. We were about to get married, and we were busy with official duties and couldn't take care of acupuncture, so I could only let you take the decoction."
Chu Yue was so moved in her heart, but she still said sternly, "This method will not be used again without my consent!"
"good."
Lu Xinghe responded and kissed him again.
This time, Chu Yue did not refuse.
…
A month later, Yuan Xueer was diagnosed with Hi Pulse.
After all, she was of royal blood, and it was the only bloodline left by Prince Jing in this world. Gu Jinghe issued an imperial edict to connect her to Prince Jing's palace, so that she could continue to enjoy the treatment of Prince Jing's concubine.
Yuan Xueer used to be arrogant and domineering because she relied on her father's power.
Now that Yuan Xiang has fallen, in the past month or so, she has finally realized what it means to be pushed down by others, what it means to look down on others, and she has finally realized what it feels like to have to do everything by yourself without having enough to eat.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be pregnant with Prince Jing's child.
As long as you keep this child and don't cause trouble, you should be fine with food and clothing, right?
As for Lu Xinghe, she didn't dare to think about it anymore. She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Thinking of the disgusted look he looked at her that day, she felt her scalp tremble.
His passion was a joke in his eyes, but it actually cost his father's life, and even brought the whole family down to this point.
She is the sinner of the Yuan family!
As the days passed, although the servants in the mansion were not as interested in Yuan Xueer as they were at the beginning, they did not treat her harshly because of her completely different low-key style from before.
Coupled with Yuan Yutang's help from time to time, her life is much better than it was in the month or so when the Yuan family just lost power.
…
When Northern Xinjiang learned that King Jing's affairs were revealed, they began to harass the border again.
The DPRK was divided into two factions.
One faction advocates war, and the other advocates peace.
Gu Jinghe was very worried.
"Lu Aiqing, what do you think?"
There have been frequent wars over the years, and the national treasury has been in deficit. The wars in the northern Xinjiang and the western regions have just ended, followed by floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Now the tributaries are being dug, which is very costly and is really not suitable for another war.
Lu Xinghe bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, Northern Xinjiang has repeatedly committed crimes. If we can completely capture them into the territory of Nanyuan Kingdom, it will be settled once and for all. But at the moment, regardless of the national strength or military strength, it is really not suitable to go to war. I think it is better to maintain the short-term peace through peace and recuperation. , and then quickly send out troops after strengthening the army to completely capture the northern border, so as to avoid the suffering of perennial wars on the southern border."
Gu Jinghe thought for a moment and nodded.
"In your opinion, who should be chosen for the wedding ceremony?"
A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since this is a delaying strategy, I feel that Princess Wushuang is both talented and beautiful. She is of marriageable age, so she is suitable to go."
Your Majesty has several princesses, but now the only princess who is eligible for marriage is Princess Nanying.
After all, she is just a cannon fodder. It is really not cost-effective to let her direct princess go.
Lu Xinghe had different opinions.
"Your Majesty, even though Princess Wushuang has a noble status, how could she not know the situation of our Nanyuan Royal Princess when Northern Xinjiang colluded with Prince Jing before? Wei Chen feels that Princess Nanying is more suitable for the marriage, and will take over Northern Xinjiang in the future. , if Your Majesty shows mercy, it would not be a bad idea to welcome Princess Nanying back to the palace."
Many ministers frequently glanced at Lu Xinghe from the corner of their eyes, with somewhat strange expressions on their faces.
I don't know whether he arranged such a marriage on the princess intentionally or unintentionally.
It would be okay if it was unintentional.
If it was intentional, Mr. Lu would be too petty.
Princess Nanying only insulted Princess Heyue a few words, but she made him hold a grudge.
