I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 176 It’s an honor

Lu Mingyang blushed: "Why are you telling me this!"

"I want to tell you that I'm not someone who's lustful and forgetful, or someone who gets bored easily with the old and loves the new. You are my woman, and I will cherish you, love you, respect you, and treasure you for the rest of my life."

At this moment, Chu Mingzheng took her hand and pressed it to his heart, humbly asking for a promise: "Yangyang, I didn't care about you before, but from now on, you only love me, okay?"

"Only you... well..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Mingzheng covered her tender, tempting red lips, sucking greedily like a devout baby. Between his labored gasps, Lu Mingyang slapped him with the remnants of his sanity.

"Don't stay here!"

"Let's go back home!" Chu Mingzheng pulled Lu Mingyang away.

"Ningxiang is still in there," Lu Mingyang reminded him hastily. Although there were no spies in the Blue Water Pond right now, if someone discovered that Ningxiang had taken the drug, trouble would inevitably arise.

"Then wait a little longer?"

"Then read a book."

Lu Mingyang threw the book to Chu Mingzheng and covered his ears, but she could still hear it. The ecstatic moaning made Lu Mingyang feel itchy and unbearable.

Is there really anyone who has such great concentration?

She secretly glanced at the man half-leaning on the couch reading, and chuckled softly. A dignified prince, yet he found a pug to cuckold him.

It's a good thing he could think of that.

After about a quarter of an hour, the effects of the drug wore off, the noises inside stopped, and the pug came running out. Lu Mingyang gently bumped the scholar's shoulder.

Chu Mingzheng grabbed it with his backhand and pulled it out of the door.

Under the stone archway of the Bishui Pavilion, he ran into the young eunuch who was waiting there. He had waited here before, but never in such a panic, because he saw the princess.

Chu Mingzheng said: "Now that she has become a member of the mansion, you don't have to wait here anymore."

The young eunuch agreed repeatedly, and watched the disheveled prince drag the princess away. He knelt on the ground in shock, shaking his head and sighing:

His Highness not only found someone to teach him, but also demonstrated it himself. This princess must be so dull. It's really pitiful for His Highness.

After many twists and turns, Lu Mingyang saw a small boat on the lake in the distance. He thought, how long will it take to go back?

"The city gate is closed!" The girl, whose mind was full of yellow bubbles, spoke with a hint of coquettishness.

Chu Mingzheng patted his chest proudly: "A small city gate, can it be difficult for your husband?"

Lu Mingyang glared at him, but it was too dark, so she scratched her palm lightly and hinted again: "I don't want to ride a horse."

"Then take a carriage?"

"Chu Mingzheng!"

Lu Mingyang raised his head in anger, his vision went dark, and he fell into a hot embrace.

What a joke! He was an old hand at being fond of flowers, how could he not see through the little girl's thoughts? Chu Mingzheng walked into the library holding the girl he had been thinking about.

I still remember that it was here that he decided to marry her. He hadn't expected the bumpy road ahead, nor had he expected love to blossom, making him fall for her without regrets.

When the two people on the bed met each other nakedly, Lu Mingyang looked at the burning eyes and suddenly felt timid.

She didn't know how useful the empty title of Marquis of Chengyang was to him, and whether it was worth him making such a solemn and unprecedented promise for herself who had nothing.

"Your Highness, if my elder sister doesn't want to get involved in the court disputes, and if there's only me, would you be willing to keep me?"

"my pleasure!"

Chu Mingzheng leaned over and kissed the woman under him until they became intimate.

The moon is rising high in the sky, and the night is beautiful.

Lu Mingyang drowsily opened her eyes and met a pair of bright, spring-like eyes. Chu Mingzheng rested his hand on his forehead, half-leaning on the edge of the bed, staring at her for an unknown amount of time.

Lu Mingyang shyly moved into his arms, and Chu Mingzheng leaned over and kissed the tip of her forehead that was secretly raised.

"satisfied?"

His face flushed red, and Lu Mingyang raised his fist to hit the man, hitting the bowl-sized scar on his chest.

"Does it hurt?" She touched him with concern.

"It doesn't hurt!"

"It doesn't hurt?" Lu Mingyang looked up in surprise. How could the wound that nearly killed him not hurt?

"It really doesn't hurt." Chu Mingzheng's eyes were covered with mist. "This is fake. The real wound is on my father."

"Jin Yiluo is truly formidable. Not only has he improved upon the Xiongnu cavalry, he's also mastered the Central Plains formations. His attacks are lightning fast, and his defenses are as strong as a fortress. I want to find a flaw, so I can only send a small force into the formation to test it."

"Because the enemy is strong and we are weak, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering the location of our commander, and to facilitate both entry and retreat, we had all the soldiers wear masks."

"I didn't expect that even Zizhao couldn't get into the deep formation. I had no choice but to fight in person."

"It just so happened that my father came to see me privately at that time. He was worried that something might happen to me, so he stole my weapons, armor, and mask."

Lu Mingyang never knew what kind of faith he had held on to survive those five years in the frontier, facing the harsh environment, ferocious enemies, difficult officials, a home he could never return to, and a home that didn't want to accept him.

At this moment, hearing him speak calmly, my heart ached.

Chu Mingzheng hugged the girl tightly in his arms and said in a deep voice, "Yangyang, how can I go back?"

"We're not going back, we're moving forward!" Lu Mingyang hugged him back tightly, using his body temperature to warm his extremely frozen heart.

After a long time, Chu Mingzheng's disordered breathing gradually became smooth.

"Let's go!"

"Where?"

Lu Mingyang thought he was rushing to attend court, but unexpectedly he came to the cemetery, the ancestral tomb of the Lu family.

There were a few small yellow wildflowers in full bloom in front of my father's tombstone. They looked like they would only last for a few hours.

Lu Mingyang was surprised: "Someone came to see my father?"

"My father-in-law had many old subordinates in the army, and he had helped many civilians. It's not surprising that people came to pay their respects. But..." Chu Mingzheng looked at the two tombs behind Lu Shao.

There are also yellow flowers in front of Lu Mingyuan's tombstone, but there are none in front of Lu Mingze's tombstone.

Lu Mingyang also found it strange: "You say this man is heartless, yet he still thought of coming to pay homage to his father; you say he is caring, yet he came to pay homage without even bringing any offerings. Is his family so poor that they can't even afford a few steamed buns or some yellow paper?"

"Uh..." Chu Mingzheng looked embarrassed: "Wait for me for a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already ridden away on horseback.

"What's going on?" Lu Mingyang opened the package and placed the tribute. After waiting for about half an hour, Chu Mingzheng returned, carrying a large package.

Lu Mingyang opened it, and the yellow paper inside overflowed, piling up into a small mountain. She looked at Chu Mingzheng in surprise, and saw him pull out a handful of sandalwood as thick as his thigh from the horse's neck, along with two red candles.

"Where did you get this?"

Chu Mingzheng said, "There is a temple nearby."

"Is there any temple with a lot of incense nearby?" Lu Mingyang held his forehead with his hand. "Have you moved all of them here?"

Chu Mingzheng was very serious: "This is my first time meeting my father-in-law, I can't be rude."

There’s no need to be so exaggerated!
