Wearing a book, hooking him up

"Anshun, Doctor Jin from the Imperial Hospital, please find out all his background for me. I want to see the results in a few days."

Jun Zechen ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Anshun responded quickly, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and feeling uneasy.

It was really a headache, Anshun was complaining in his heart, how could these two things be mixed up together?

What should I do? The Queen...

"Your Majesty, you promised the Queen that you would dine with her in the lotus pond tonight."

An Shun raised his eyes and observed Jun Zechen's expression, his voice trembling slightly. After he finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

Jun Zechen naturally knew that she had prepared a surprise for him today, but he was so confused that he was actually a little afraid to see her.

Then Jun Zechen calmed down.

Everything is still unclear. Yaoyao loves him very much, so it is impossible for her to like a useless imperial physician. If that imperial physician really has any connection with Yaoyao, then it must be that the imperial physician has ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Jun Zechen's eyes, and a cold feeling emerged in his heart.

"It's almost time, let's go to the lotus pond."

Jun Zechen took a breath and tried to calm himself down.

At the lotus pond, Su Jingyao arrived early.

Since Jun Zechen gave her a surprise last time, she naturally had to give one in return.

By the lotus pond, the breeze blows gently, and the lotus leaves sway gracefully.

A luxurious and elegant ship was quietly docked at the shore, with exquisite meals and mellow wine on the small table.

Su Jingyao was wearing a mint green dress with pink patterns embroidered on the hem. The silky gauze fluttered gently, seeming to blend in with the lotus leaves in the pond.

A pink ribbon tied around her waist further highlights her slender waist.

Her jet-black hair was tied into a graceful bun, with a few strands of hair playfully falling beside her fair cheeks, making her look lively and beautiful.

There are ice basins placed around, creating a slight coolness that makes people not feel stuffy at all.

I also ordered a light scent to repel mosquitoes. The faint fragrance lingered around, making me feel relaxed and happy.

When Jun Zechen came over, he saw her sitting in the cabin with a faint smile from afar.

There was a complexity in his eyes, with a hint of hesitation.

After entering the cabin, Anshun followed closely behind, but went directly to the bow with Xilu, and the two began to row the boat.

Su Jingyao had been carefully arranging the boat all day, so she was not clear about what had happened in the Qianqing Palace, nor did she notice anything was wrong with Jun Zechen.

After Jun Zechen slowly sat down next to her, Su Jingyao smiled, picked up the wine jug with her delicate hands, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Today, with the afterglow of the sunset and the lotus leaves all around the pond, it is a beautiful day. I would like to offer a toast to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen picked up the wine glass.

The two people's wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and Su Jingyao simply drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp.

"Today, I want to play a piece of music for Your Majesty, in accordance with this scene, this wine, and..."

She looked at Jun Zechen steadily, seemingly full of affection, "There is still this feeling."

Jun Zechen's heart skipped a beat. When she talked about this, was she trying to imply their relationship as husband and wife?

He was originally in a state of anxiety, but her words immediately perked him up, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Su Jingyao stood up lightly, walked to the guqin beside her and sat down, testing the notes lightly with her slender fingers. She had never played the guqin in front of Jun Zechen before, so she couldn't help feeling a little nervous at the moment.

Soon, melodious piano sounds were heard, and Su Jingyao was playing "Xian Ting Xu".

The melody of this song is fresh and natural, and the rhythm is slow and smooth.

Being beside this immersive lotus pond, one can feel the leisure and comfort.

While playing the piano, Su Jingyao sang the lyrics softly.

"A boat is full of smoke and wine, the moon is still half open and half waiting, the green mountains listen to my talk and laughter, and the orchid shadow is also in my arms"

Jun Zechen could feel a leisurely, peaceful and comfortable atmosphere while listening to the prelude. He closed his eyes unconsciously and listened, immersed in it. All the worries in his heart were temporarily thrown away.

He never thought that Yaoyao's piano skills were so superb. He had never heard this tune before, and the lyrics were even more beautiful and moving.

When it came to the climax, I could only hear Su Jingyao slowly singing, "Standing at dusk in my spare time, I asked with a smile if the porridge was warm. The sound of the piano was floating or sinking, but only one person understood it."

Jun Zechen suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze met Su Jingyao's in an instant.

Does Yaoyao hope that they can support each other like ordinary couples, ordinary yet warm? She must love him when she sings this song.

Su Jingyao saw that Jun Zechen suddenly became a little excited, with some doubt and confusion in his eyes, but she still finished playing the song.

This song is a modern traditional Chinese style song, which expresses a yearning for a leisurely life and a cherishment of sincere emotions. Jun Zechen is busy with state affairs every day, and if you want him to relax, this song "Xian Ting Xu" is the most suitable.

They were originally husband and wife. Apart from their identities as emperor and empress, Su Jingyao knew that Jun Zechen valued their relationship very much. No matter what would happen in the future, Jun Zechen valued it now, so he should like this song.

After Su Jingyao finished playing, she stood up and walked to sit next to Jun Zechen.

He couldn't wait to put his arms around her waist, eagerly but gently.

"Yaoyao and I have a deep love for each other. Yaoyao's song makes my heart tremble."

Although Su Jingyao felt that his reaction today was a little strange, she didn't think too much about it.

"As long as your Majesty likes it."

Su Jingyao smiled slightly, bright and charming.

Her eyes were full of tenderness as she leaned gently in Jun Zechen's arms.

The stone that was pressing on Jun Zechen's heart seemed to have finally fallen a little. He was just an imperial physician, nothing special. How could Yaoyao like him?

His mood suddenly became brighter, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had come out.

The two chatted and laughed sweetly, the breeze gently brushed across their faces, Jun Zechen's hearty laughter and Su Jingyao's crisp laughter intertwined.

They were intoxicated by the cool night breeze and the refreshing fragrance of lotus leaves, and were very happy.

-

Zhongcui Palace.

Bai Lan trotted into the side hall of Zhongcui Palace. Her steps were hurried and her breathing was a little disordered.

"Master, Master, great joy, His Majesty has restored your position as the virtuous concubine, and the third prince has also been brought back from the Ming concubine."

Bai Lan's voice was a little sharp because of excitement, her face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of joy.

An Jinyan, who was sitting listlessly on the couch, stiffened when he heard this. Before he could react, he stood there in a daze with lifeless eyes, like a puppet.

Then he asked in disbelief, as if waking from a dream: "Really?"

Her voice trembled, as if she couldn't believe this sudden good news.

"Yes, Master, Xu Xiurong is the real murderer who poisoned Lady Chu. His Majesty has demoted her to a commoner and moved her to the cold palace."

Bai Lan said excitedly, her eyebrows beaming with joy, and her whole body was immersed in joy.

An Jinyan's eyes darkened, her pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, it was this woman who framed her.

Oh, after framing her, he even had the audacity to ask her to join forces against the Queen. Is she that stupid?

They don't even think about the fact that His Majesty has been doting on the Queen for two years. Not only did the Queen give birth to the eldest son, but she also gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. What can they use to fight against the Queen?

An Jinyan thought to himself, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Then her face suddenly glowed and she slowly got up from the couch.

"Change your clothes for me. I am going to the cold palace to take a good look at this bitch who framed me behind my back."

There was authority and impatience in her tone.

"Yes, master." Bai Lan responded and hurried to prepare.

A few months after being demoted to a concubine, An Jinyan once again sat on the sedan chair that only the master of a palace could sit in. She rested her hands on the armrests with her fingers slightly bent, her eyes full of arrogance, her gaze staring straight ahead with her chin slightly raised, showing her majesty.

When An Jinyan arrived at the cold palace, she frowned and looked at the environment of the cold palace with disdain, as if she was looking at a pile of garbage.

Then, under the trembling guidance of the cold palace maid, he went directly to Xu Shiying's palace.

Inside the cold palace, the tables and chairs were worn out, covered with traces of time and dust.

The hot weather made the hall seem even more depressing. The air seemed to be frozen, and there was a smell of decay in the air.

Xu Shiying was like a body without a soul, sitting decadently on a shabby stool in the cold palace.

Her whole body drooped, her eyes were empty and lifeless, her gaze was dull, she didn't understand why in the blink of an eye she had fallen from the high and mighty Empress Xiurong and the biological mother of the Sixth Prince to a desolate and abandoned woman in the cold palace.

"Hey, Xu Shuren, I'm here, why don't you come over and pay your respects?"

An Jinyan walked in with contempt and complacency on her face, her voice sharp and full of sarcasm.

Xu Shiying slowly raised her head and looked over. It was Concubine Xian. She had been restored to the throne, and her gorgeous palace dress had been changed back to the noble style that only the Four Concubines could wear. She held her head high and chest puffed out, looking majestic and extremely proud.

"Oh, now that I'm like this, do I still care whether I salute you or not?"

Xu Shiying sneered, her voice hoarse and weak.

An Jinyan's eyes turned cold instantly. She quickly walked up to Xu Shiying and slapped her in the face with all her strength.

The slap was so swift and powerful that Xu Shiying's head tilted sideways and her body even shook violently, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

"What grudge do I have against you? Why do you want to frame me?"

"Because of your frame-up, my personal maid Bai Zhi, who I brought from the palace, died. Even slapping you in the face cannot relieve the hatred in my heart."

An Jinyan's eyes were wide open and his teeth were chattering.

"Just live well in the cold palace. I will not let you die. I will let you experience the pain that Bai Zhi suffered before her death."

An Jinyan felt a pang of pain when she thought of Bai Zhi being executed and dying tragically for saving her.

Although An Jinyan did not have much sincerity towards these servants and would abandon them without hesitation when their lives were threatened, Bai Zhi grew up with her and they had a deep relationship. How could she not be moved by her tragic death?

It’s all because of this bitch. She dragged her into this trouble in order to deal with the queen. She doesn’t even look at her own character.

An Jinyan cursed in her heart. Her appearance was not the best in the harem, and her family background was even more ordinary. But just because she had the Sixth Prince, she wanted to deal with the Queen. It was really wishful thinking.

"Xianfei, you have such a good family background, are you really willing to be inferior to others forever? Since I have entered the harem, what's wrong with competing? It's just that I was one step behind and lost."

Xu Shiying's eyes were burning with anger and unwillingness.

If she had a background like Concubine Xian, every step wouldn't be so difficult for her!

An Jinyan, however, looked down on him, with the corners of his mouth raised in a sarcastic smile.

"So what if I am inferior to others? I am a wise man who knows the current situation. What you are doing is not courage, but a moth flying into a flame."

Then An Jinyan turned around and ordered, "Bai Lan, send a eunuch to slap Xu Shuren twenty times every day, so that she can reflect on her mistakes. Since she is in the cold palace, she doesn't have to eat well or wear nice clothes."

"Xianfei! You are a villain! Even if I am sent to the cold palace, I am still the prince's biological mother. How can you punish me with lynching?"

Xu Shiying was furious and looked at Concubine Xian with hatred.

An Jinyan bent down and leaned close to Xu Shiying's eyes, "What can you do to me?" she asked with full provocation.

After saying that, she straightened up, turned around proudly, and walked out of the cold palace without looking back, leaving Xu Shiying screaming in despair behind her.
