Wearing a book, hooking him up

Su Jingyao, wearing a veil, walked slowly on the bustling street.

She has a graceful figure and walks lightly. This time, Miaoyun and Miaoxue follow closely beside her, while in front are Jun Zechen and Ling Yue. The two of them are in an intimate posture, and they are a close couple shopping leisurely.

It was just that Jun Zechen would look back at Su Jingyao from time to time while walking around, but the streets were crowded with people.

At a certain corner, Su Jingyao took advantage of the crowd and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Although Jun Zechen brought a lot of secret guards with him when he came out, the duties of these secret guards were mainly to protect the safety of the prince, so how could they keep a close eye on Su Jingyao all the time?

After she left quietly, she deftly turned several corners and came to a remote corner.

There was a carriage parked there that looked ordinary on the outside but was actually extremely luxurious on the inside.

The carriage was covered with gorgeous and expensive carpets, and the table was laid with fresh seasonal fruits, exuding an enticing aroma.

Li Jing saw her come in, slowly stood up, and sat aside.

Su Jingyao glanced at Li Jing indifferently, and then lazily half-lying on the soft couch in the middle. Her posture was relaxed and casual, yet revealed an indescribable elegance.

"Master, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will probably be strolling around for a while. Once they realize you are gone, it will probably take some time for them to send someone to look for you. I will send someone to keep a close eye on their movements. Master, why don't you go to Mofeng Tower and have a rest first?" Li Jing said softly.

"Ah."

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "Send someone to closely monitor the movements of Wu'an Hou's son."

"Yes, master." Li Jing responded.

Li Jing's gaze fell on Su Jingyao, filled with mixed emotions.

He really didn't understand. His mistress was obviously the daughter of the noble Su family. If she didn't want to be the prince's concubine, there must be a way to solve it.

However, the master took the initiative to step into the turbulent harem and became the prince's concubine.

Obviously, the master can choose to be the legitimate wife of a noble family. Even if he is the crown prince, so what? The master is qualified enough to be the crown princess, or even the queen of the monarchy.

But according to the information he had received, ever since his master married into the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince had not had much affection for her, but was deeply in love with the Crown Princess.

Even on such an important day as the Flower Festival, the Crown Prince accompanied the Crown Princess throughout the entire process.

Now the master is probably missing and the prince hasn't even noticed.

Li Jing was once an orphan with a tragic fate. Su Jingyao saved him by chance.

At that time, Li Jing was taken in by someone with bad intentions, and his body was covered with scars. In order to win the sympathy of some wealthy families in the capital, those who took him in made him covered with scars in exchange for some meager reward money.

But all the pitiful reward money was ruthlessly taken away by the people who took him in.

It was purely an accident that Su Jingyao saved him. Since she saved him, she couldn't save him in vain. She made him become a useful person to her.

Therefore, Su Jingyao spent some money and hired a special master to teach Li Jing.

Li Jing showed a strong interest in business and medicine. Afterwards, Su Jingyao spared no effort to buy many books on these subjects for him.

These books are not easily bought in the Kingdom of Jun with money. Fortunately, her father is the head of the civil officials in the Kingdom of Jun. With her father's power and status, she naturally found various precious books for Li Jing easily.

He even secretly invited many knowledgeable masters to teach him knowledge.

Li Jing was indeed extremely intelligent. He showed extraordinary talent in business, and studying medicine was his passion. He was also diligent and hardworking, and did quite well in both.

Su Jingyao trusted him enough to employ him without any scruples.

When they arrived at Mofeng Tower, Li Jing took Su Jingyao through a small path he had secretly opened, which led directly to the third floor of Mofeng Tower.

Su Jingyao stepped into her exclusive box in Mofeng Tower. It was decorated exquisitely and luxuriously, with every detail showing its extraordinary quality.

The landscape paintings hanging on the walls are lifelike, and the three-dimensional pictures made with top-grade embroidery techniques are even more ingenious, adding a touch of elegance to this box.

Su Jingyao walked to the side of the box and picked up a collection of poems.

This collection of poems records all the poems related to flowers in the country, which is also thanks to her father, the Shangshu.

This book was carefully copied by her from her father's study.

In Junguo, unless you are from a family with a deep foundation, it is extremely difficult to read and study. Some precious books are even as valuable as gold.

The reason why Su Jingyao took out this collection of poems to kill time was naturally because she was going to participate in the traditional program of the Flower Festival, the Flower Order, later.

After all, this was part of her plan.

Su Jingyao lay lazily on the beauty couch, holding a collection of poems in her hands and reading them carefully.

Although it was dark at night, the room was brightly lit with candles, illuminating every corner, so it didn't feel dark at all.

Li Jing sat quietly aside, with a thousand words in his mind, but hesitant and hesitant.

Ever since his master married the prince, he has always had doubts in his heart, but he has never had the right opportunity to ask them clearly.

Today, the master was finally able to leave the palace, and there was no one else around him.

Li Jing thought for a moment, slowly stood up, and walked towards Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao was immersed in the world of the book, and without even raising her eyes, she said, "You are blocking my light."

In front of people who don't need to pretend, she acts completely as she pleases.

Li Jing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he knelt directly in front of her, moving his body to let the light through so as to no longer block her from reading.

Su Jingyao seemed accustomed to his actions. She didn't even lift her eyelids and continued to read the book in her hands.

"Why did the master marry the prince?"

Li Jing finally plucked up the courage to ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

Su Jingyao paused for a moment when she heard this. She gently flipped the pages and asked nonchalantly, "Who do you think I should marry?"

"As a mistress, even if you don't marry the prince, you can still be the legitimate wife of a king, a prince, a general or a minister. Why would you marry the prince and be his concubine?"

There was a subtle hint of urgency in Li Jing's voice. In his heart, Su Jingyao was the most important person.

It would be fine if she married the prince as a concubine, but the prince did not cherish her! Because of this reason, Li Jing's disgust for the prince became stronger.

If his master is willing, he would be willing to kill the prince in exchange for his master's freedom, even if it means sacrificing his own life.

Su Jingyao slowly closed the book, sat up, and looked at Li Jing with indifferent eyes.

Su Jingyao raised her slender hand and gently stroked Li Jing's handsome face with the back of her hand. Her movements were gentle and intimate.

Li Jing's body trembled slightly, and an indescribable throbbing surged in his heart.

"Li Jing, put away your unrealistic fantasies."

When Li Jing heard his master's merciless words, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze.

It turns out that the master knew everything, knew the desire that he dared not express in his heart.

Li Jing lowered his eyes slightly to hide the loss and pain in his eyes, "Master, Li Jing doesn't dare to have any illusions about you. Li Jing only wants you to have a smooth life, peace and happiness."

Even if he wasn't the one by her side, it didn't matter.

He only wished that she could be happy, even if this happiness had nothing to do with him.

"Li Jing, what I want is not an ordinary life. What I want is to reach the top, to become the queen, to become the queen mother."

"I don't care whether Jun Zechen has a sweetheart or not. I only care whether he is the crown prince or the future emperor."

Su Jingyao's voice was as calm as a pool of autumn water, without the slightest ripple, but her eyes revealed determination and persistence.

People always have to have a goal in life. A simple and happy life may be the dream of many people, but it is not what Su Jingyao yearns for. She is ambitious and just wants to reach out to embrace the bright moon and raise her hand to hold the nebula.

Li Jing slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Su Jingyao's face.

Su Jingyao looked at him and smiled faintly, "Will Li Jing help me?"

Her face was harmless, pure and flawless, as if it was the most perfect work of art carefully crafted by God. However, Li Jing knew that beneath this beautiful appearance, there was a heart full of calculations and ambitions.

But even so, as long as she wanted it and asked, he would help her without hesitation.

"Master, whatever you want, Li Jing will help you with."

Li Jing's voice was as firm as iron, and his eyes were full of loyalty and protection.

From the moment he was picked up by five-year-old Su Jingyao, Li Jing had already decided that he would belong only to Su Jingyao for the rest of his life.

Hearing Li Jing's answer, Su Jingyao's lips curled up into a wanton smile, like a poppy flower blooming in the dark night, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Li Jing is so nice."

Her voice was as gentle as a breeze, but it made Li Jing's heart skip a beat.

Su Jingyao lazily lay back on the beauty couch and continued to read the book.

"Go out and come back in after you get some news about the Marquis of Wu'an's son." Her tone returned to normal.

"Yes."

Li Jing responded softly, then turned and left the room.

Just after the middle of the night, Li Jing hurried in, "Master, Wu'an Marquis's son Si Nanyu is now on Linlang Street."

Su Jingyao put down the book in her hand, Miaoyun hurried forward to help her up, and then tidied her dress.

"Let's go to Linlang Street."

There was a barely perceptible hint of anticipation in Su Jingyao's voice. She was really looking forward to Jun Zechen seeing her with another man.

Men are just mean. If someone steals something from them, even if it's a pile of shit, it will smell good.

At this time, Si Nanyu was casually strolling on Linlang Street with a few young men and women. The soft light of lanterns sprinkled on the street, reflecting a prosperous scene.

The separation between men and women in the monarchy was not that strict, and on the Flower Festival, men and women could fall in love with each other.

The reason why Si Nanyu came out today was because these young men and young ladies were brought together by their family elders, who hoped that they would like each other.

After all, they are all aristocratic families, so it would be good no matter who they marry.

However, Si Nanyu was always in a depressed mood, without a trace of joy.

Ever since His Majesty arranged for Su Jingyao to be married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his heart felt as if it was torn apart and he could never get over it. It was obvious that Su Jingyao was the woman he had long admired and the wife he had long considered as his wife.

If it weren't for the fact that the wife of Marquis Wu'an, who is also his mother, had not proposed marriage in a long time, how could Su Jingyao have married the prince as a concubine?

She should have been the Crown Prince's Consort that he married in a formal ceremony!

Memories flooded into his mind like a tide. It was also during the Flower Festival that he fell in love with Su Jingyao at first sight. That one glance made his heart fall in love with her from then on.

After that, he tried every possible way to see Su Jingyao, even if it was only for once.

However, the Su family has strict rules, and Su Jingyao would never meet other men alone.

Therefore, he could only wait eagerly for the Flower Festival every year, hoping to meet her by chance.
