Wearing a book, hooking him up

Today, the sun was so bright that it was a little dazzling. Su Jingyao woke up slowly in the caress of the morning light.

When she opened her eyes, Jun Zechen had already gone to court.

Su Jingyao slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and then began to wash. After finishing, she changed into an apricot-colored dress. The dress was as soft as silk, as if it blended into her skin.

The lower body is matched with a blue-green skirt, and the hem of the skirt sways gently like rippling blue waves.

The belt woven with gold thread was tightly tied around her slender waist, further highlighting her slender waist.

Miaoxia combed her hair into an ordinary palace bun, with all her hair piled up high, showing off her graceful shoulder and neck lines.

Su Jingyao has a delicate face like a painting and skin as white as snow. She is beautiful without any extra makeup.

"Master, how about you put on some more jewelry? Doesn't it look a little plain?"

Miaoxia was holding an exquisite hairpin and was about to put it on for her when she asked softly.

"Once you put on this hairpin in your hand, you will be almost done. There is no need to dress too flashily. There are many ladies in the palace at the tea-tasting banquet hosted by the Queen today. You don't have to compete with them for the limelight."

Su Jingyao raised her chin slightly and said calmly.

"The master is so beautiful. Even in such a simple outfit, she looks like a fairy, lively and beautiful."

As Miaoxia spoke, she gently inserted the hairpin into Su Jingyao's bun, her eyes full of admiration and appreciation.

"You are so sweet-talking. Let's go to Qiluan Palace."

Although Su Jingyao was on the royal imperial list as a concubine, she was still a concubine. She could only attend banquets in the palace with the Crown Princess, and there was no reason for her to go alone.

When Su Jingyao arrived at Qiluan Palace, Ling Yue had already dressed up.

She was wearing a golden palace dress today. It was luxurious and elegant, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the gold and silver threads were very dazzling.

The jewelry on her head is dazzling and brilliant, showing her nobility.

"I pay my respects to my sister."

Su Jingyao leaned forward slightly and saluted Ling Yue.

"Concubine Su, please get up." Ling Yue's voice was light, without a trace of emotion.

Su Jingyao hasn't come to see Ling Yue in the past few days. This is the first time she has seen her after the Flower Festival.

Now it seems that Ling Yue has regarded her as an enemy, and even the way he addresses her has become unfamiliar.

But it doesn't matter. She really can't bear to do anything to people who are too kind, Su Jingyao sneered in her heart.

"Sister, it was my fault last time. His Highness should have explained it to you. I hope you don't mind."

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, a look of guilt appeared on her face, she opened her red lips and spoke slowly.

"Concubine Su, it is your duty to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bear children for him. I am the Crown Princess, and any children you give birth to in the future must call me their legal mother. I don't mind."

Ling Yue raised her chin with a hint of pride in her eyes. She straightened her body, as if showing her noble status to Su Jingyao.

"Yes, from now on my child will be my sister's child. I hope my sister will cherish him."

Su Jingyao smiled slightly, her smile was sincere and bright, without a trace of distracting thoughts, her eyes fell softly on Ling Yue, full of kindness and obedience.

However, Su Jingyao smiled secretly in her heart, Ling Yue has grown up and his speech has even started to change.

But isn't this what she wants to see?

As the first woman that Jun Zechen fell in love with, Ling Yue's position in Jun Zechen's heart is difficult to completely erase.

If you want to get rid of Bai Yueguang, you can only turn her into mosquito blood.

Doesn't Ling Yue know that she is becoming more and more like the person that Jun Zechen hates?

Jun Zechen hates the hypocritical women in the harem and women whose hearts are full of calculations. Ling Yue is calculating towards her and trying to please Jun Zechen.

It’s so obvious!

What made Su Jingyao feel even more amused was that Ling Yue seemed to have completely lost herself. She could hardly see the free and wild Ling Yue anymore.

Her behavior was gradually eroding Jun Zechen's love for her. When she became almost the same as the women in the palace, Jun Zechen might get tired of seeing her.

Tsk.

Isn't this the ending of their novel?

Ling Yue's heart was full of doubts and confusion. She really couldn't understand this woman, Su Jingyao.

Why did this woman always appear so perfect, so perfect that it seemed a little unreal, without a single flaw?

If an ordinary woman had been mocked like this, she would have probably been so angry that she would have gnashed her teeth.

But Su Jingyao was different. She could actually tell her with a smile that her child would be Ling Yue's from now on. This made Ling Yue feel that she was even more unfathomable.

Ling Yue's complicated gaze fell on Su Jingyao. She looked at Su Jingyao carefully, trying to find a flaw in her expression.

But Su Jingyao was wearing an elegant dress, her hair fell on her shoulders as softly as silk, and she always had a gentle smile on her face, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts.

Then, Ling Yue raised her chin slightly and said indifferently, "The tea-tasting banquet hosted by our mother is about to begin. Let's go."

"Yes, sister." Su Jingyao replied softly. Her voice was soft and melodious, as beautiful as the gurgling of water.

She nodded slightly, still with that smile on her face, but there seemed to be a subtle deeper meaning in her smile.

She followed behind Ling Yue, her figure graceful and light as a willow swaying in the wind.

Royal Garden.

The ladies from various palaces invited by the Queen have basically arrived one after another. They are all dignified and dressed in gorgeous palace costumes, showing off their noble status.

Su Jingyao followed Ling Yue, slowly walked to their seats, and sat down gracefully.

Beside them, the families of other princes had also taken their seats, and the scene was quite lively.

Su Jingyao sat quietly in her seat. She raised her head slightly and looked around.

There were quite a lot of people coming. The ladies in the palace were either dignified and elegant or charming and attractive. The princes' families also had their own charm.

Just then, a sharp eunuch voice broke the silence.

"The Queen has arrived————" The voice was high-pitched and shrill, echoing in the air.

Then, the ladies of the palaces and the princes' families all stood up and said in unison: "Your servant/concubine pays respect to the Empress."

The queen walked in slowly surrounded by the crowd. She was wearing a gorgeous bright red palace dress today. The bright color was as dazzling as a flame, making her look even more graceful and elegant.

The queen's appearance is exquisite and she has many similarities with Jun Zechen, especially the charm between her eyebrows, which makes people feel her majesty as the mother of the country.

She sat dignifiedly in the first seat, her eyes slowly sweeping over everyone, her tone neither hurried nor slow.

"Today, our palace is holding this tea-tasting banquet because recently foreign countries, some small countries, and the southern city of our country have offered a lot of good tea as tribute. Your Majesty is grateful to the sisters in the palace, so he specially gave these tribute teas to you to taste."

"In addition, I have also invited the wives of the princes to enjoy tea together."

The Queen said this before gracefully picking up the teacup and raising it slightly as a sign of respect.

The ladies of the palaces and the princes' wives also picked up their tea cups and stood up to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Queen."

"But there is another important matter today. For this year's selection, I have discussed with His Majesty to keep everything simple, so we only selected some women from the list of noble ladies in the capital, and selected a few outstanding women from various cities in the monarchy, a total of thirty people."

The Queen's voice rang out clearly in the meeting hall.

"These thirty women will be selected by the sisters for the princes."

Upon hearing the news, Ling Yue's face turned pale instantly, and his body even trembled slightly.

Today is the day to select concubines for the princes!

Does Her Majesty want to send more people to the Eastern Palace?

Didn’t Su Jingyao just come in?

Does the prince know about this?

For a moment, countless questions swirled in Ling Yue's mind. She felt her brain was in a mess and she couldn't make sense of it at all.

When Su Jingyao heard the news, she was also shocked. She really didn't expect this to happen.

She frowned slightly, wondering, was this talent show mentioned in the novel? How come she had no recollection of it at all?

Could it be that because she was favored by the prince, a butterfly effect occurred?

But it doesn't matter.

Su Jingyao doesn't care at all whether a man is clean or not.

If she lived in a world where women were dominant, she might be much more fickle-minded than Jun Zechen, and would do whatever she wanted. She would take whoever she liked without any scruples.

Anyway, no matter whether we choose now or not, won’t we still have to hold a talent show after Jun Zechen ascends the throne?

At this moment, Su Jingyao sat calmly in her seat, her posture elegant and dignified, with a perfect smile on her face all the time, as if nothing could break her composure.

However, the only thing Su Jingyao remembered was that the reason why Jun Zechen in the book began to favor the palace concubines indiscriminately was because of a conversation with Emperor Jing Sheng, but the content of the conversation was not introduced in the novel.

I don't know what Emperor Jingsheng and Jun Zechen said...

After the Queen made the announcement, she glanced in the direction of the Crown Princess. Seeing Ling Yue's distraught look, the Queen became really annoyed. How could a woman with such a temper be the mother of the country in the future?

Su Jingyao's dignified and calm appearance was her ideal demeanor of a noble lady.

Shufei gave birth to the third prince and the ninth prince. The third prince was named Prince Duan and is already twenty-six years old this year.

The Crown Prince is the seventh among the princes, and the Ninth Prince is only seventeen this year and has not yet been given a title.

After the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Shu elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "The second grandson of Prince Duan's Mansion was born this year. Looking at these budding women, I will reluctantly choose one or two."

"Empress, why don't you choose more for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shufei's words were obviously meant to provoke the Queen. She had been fighting with the Queen for so many years, but she didn't expect that it was because her own son was not ambitious enough. Shufei also resented the Prince's intelligence and iron-blooded tactics.

Yet one has to admit that the prince is born to be an emperor.

When the Queen heard Concubine Shu's sarcasm, her eyes darkened instantly. Concubine Shu had nothing else to say except talking about the Emperor's grandson.

She couldn't help but turn her gaze to the Crown Princess again, with a hint of sharpness in her eyes.

If it weren't for Ling Yue, the useless Crown Princess, how could she, the Queen, be ridiculed by Concubine Shu?

Ling Yue was still immersed in the blow of another intruder entering the East Palace and did not notice the Queen's gaze at all.

"Shufei, I will naturally choose the Crown Prince's concubines. I will not decide whether Prince Duan's Mansion will choose one. However, it is indeed time for the Ninth Prince to choose a few imperial concubines."

"Yes, the Queen is kind and virtuous. I will carefully select a concubine for my Ninth Prince."

Concubine Shu nodded slightly, still with a false smile on her face.

Su Jingyao sat quietly in her seat, looking dignified and elegant, but actually bored inside.

She tried hard to maintain her composure, but her body was a little stiff, and every part of her body showed fatigue.

I have been sitting here for nearly two hours today, and during this time I have been through the tedious procedures of the showgirls.

Although the process has been simplified a lot, she still felt exhausted even sitting like this.
