Wearing a book, hooking him up

Jun Zechen's stay in the frontier this time exceeded his original expectations.

In his previous life, he returned to the capital after repelling the barbarians, but in this life, he was ready to completely solve the problem of the barbarian invasion.

The monarchy deploys a huge number of troops outside the Great Wall every year. If the barbarians can be successfully dealt with, most of the soldiers who have been resisting the enemy outside the Great Wall can return to the court, and the soldiers can go back in turn every year thereafter.

In order to deal with these problems, Jun Zechen often went to the border between the Jun Kingdom and the barbarian territory for inspection.

That's why I would run into Ling Yue from time to time.

However, Ling Yue did deliberately avoid him as he requested, staying quite far away from him, yet still within his visible range.

Jun Zechen usually turns a blind eye.

In his previous life, Jun Zechen had guessed that Ling Yue had ulterior motives in approaching him.

When he was young, he yearned for all pure things, but later on, he was able to understand that he himself was the biggest inducement to other people's desires.

Because he represents the highest power of the monarchy.

Ling Yue approached him because of his identity and disguised herself, just for the sake of power.

After Jun Zechen figured it out, he felt nothing in his heart because he didn't care.

No one is without desires.

His liking for Ling Yue when he was young was only due to her simplicity and unrestrainedness. When she lost her only advantage, Jun Zechen not only stopped liking her, but even his guilt disappeared.

Yaoyao also disguised herself in the beginning to get him to open up, but it seemed very different.

The more he understood her, the more he depended on her. His joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were all controlled by her, and even Jun Zechen himself could not control it.

(Complaint: Brother Chen is fine. Some people in the God's Perspective were also deceived by Yaoyao and shed tears. You are not the only one.)

Recently, Jun Zechen has been able to see Ling Yue from time to time, which makes him more certain of his previous guess.

Ling Yue really approached him with a purpose.

Perhaps it is true that he yearns for the freedom outside the Great Wall, but it is also true that he is obsessed with the hustle and bustle and power of the capital.

Ling Yue clearly noticed that the prince had noticed her, but every time he acted as if he didn't see her and completely ignored her.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Is the prince really as averse to women as the rumors say?

Today was her fifth time trying to meet the prince by chance, but the prince's heart was as hard as a rock and he remained unmoved.

Ling Yue was filled with helplessness. He raised the whip in his hand, swung it vigorously, and rode away on his horse.

When she returned home, General Ling happened to be there.

Because the prince came to the outside of the Great Wall to deploy troops, it became much easier to attack the barbarians. In the short term, the barbarians may not dare to invade again.

"Where did you go?"

General Ling asked in a deep voice when he saw his daughter returning.

"Out riding."

Ling Yue answered in a muffled voice, with a hint of stubbornness in his expression.

General Ling frowned.

"I know you've been asking about the prince recently, but the prince is not someone you can reach."

He is the illegitimate son of the Ling family, and Xiao Yue grew up outside the Great Wall, in places like the imperial palace. Even if Xiao Yue wanted to be the prince's concubine, His Majesty and the Queen might not agree.

"Dad, I just want to give it a try. If I don't try hard, how can I know I can't get it?"

Ling Yue raised her head, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

"The prince should have set off for the capital long ago, but he has been studying the terrain outside the Great Wall in order to prevent the next invasion by the barbarians."

General Ling admired the prince from the bottom of his heart. He was a master of strategy, foresight and resourceful.

"The prince is now focusing on military affairs and has not paid attention to his children's personal affairs. All you are doing is in vain."

"In three months at the latest, the prince will return to the capital."

Ling Yue was surprised for a moment. He was going back to the capital, so she would never have another chance...

"I know that you have occasionally met the prince in the past few months. Since there is no result, you should give up and find an honest man outside the Great Wall to marry and have children."

General Ling had a serious expression on his face, his eyes full of concern.

After a pause, he slowly said, "Although your father is of low status in the capital, he is also a general in the frontier, and will not let you live a hard life after marriage."

General Ling sighed deeply and earnestly, feeling mixed emotions.

Knowing that his daughter was trying to marry into a wealthy and powerful family, he was not without a ripple in his heart.

He was born a bastard, and it would be difficult for him to cross the social class barrier in his life, let alone give his daughter the wealth and glory she longed for.

If his daughter could win the prince's favor on her own merits, or even marry into the royal family, General Ling would naturally be happy to see it.

However, he had seen all of his daughter's efforts over the past few months, but the prince remained indifferent, so there was no need to continue.

The prince's noble status is definitely not something they can reach.

If you cause the prince to be disgusted, it will be more harm than good.

Ling Yue slowly lowered her head, "Okay..."

She just didn't want to accept it. She was bullied a lot in the Ling family when she was a child. She always wanted to make those members of the Ling family who looked down on her regret it.

But as a woman, she had limited abilities and could only find ways to get close to a powerful man.

But now, the prince was extremely indifferent to her, and she could even clearly feel the disgust in his eyes.

She didn't attract him at all...

Beijing.

Before we knew it, nearly two years had passed since Jun Zechen went to the frontier, and Su Jingyao is now thirteen years old.

Over the past year or so, I have managed the relationship with the young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital quite well.

Chu Yinxue was the one who was most attached to her, and she would always be with her at every banquet.

If any other young lady tried to get close to her, they would be driven away viciously by Chu Yinxue.

Su Jingyao was full of doubts about the fact that Jun Zechen had been away from the Great Wall for such a long time.

He clearly went beyond the Great Wall in advance, and brought with him the memories of his previous life, so why was his return so slow this time?

I don't know when he will return.

Su Jingyao supported her chin with one hand, looking blankly through the window at the bustling streets outside. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her cherry lips were unconsciously pouted.

"Yaoyao, what are you looking at? This restaurant has the flower meal you like, come and try it."

Chu Yinxue sat at the table carefree. Since there were only the two of them here, she would abandon some of the rules of a lady from a wealthy family.

After living with Su Jingyao for the past two years, although people outside say that Miss Su is a model of a noble lady, only Chu Yinxue knows what she is like in private.

Chu Yinxue lives at home. In order to help her maintain her beauty, her mother strictly controls her diet.

It was not easy to come out this way, so she naturally couldn't treat herself badly. She couldn't wait to start enjoying the food.

Anyway, she is not fat. Among the women in Beijing, Yaoyao's beauty is unmatched. Is there anyone who can compare with herself?

The more Chu Yinxue interacted with Su Jingyao, the more she felt that Su Jingyao's beauty was what she deserved.

She can't be as self-disciplined as Su Jingyao, and she's not even as rich as her.

No, she can no longer be described as rich. Su Jingyao’s daily life can only be described as extravagant!

That's why her skin is so delicate that it seems like you can squeeze water out of it.

Every time Chu Yinxue saw her, she couldn't help but want to get close to her.

"You eat first, I'm not hungry yet."

Su Jingyao was absent-minded, still casually looking at the street outside.

Suddenly, her eyes focused and she saw an acquaintance.

They are Princess Minghui and Qi Wanyin.

Qi Wanyin followed behind Princess Minghui. She had gone to great lengths to coax Princess Minghui out of the palace today, and even managed to get Princess Minghui to take her out with her.

Princess Minghui has a title and has a princess's mansion outside the palace.

She herself was fostered by the queen and could not leave the palace at will.

The reason why she was so eager to leave the palace today was because she accidentally overheard the conversation between her aunt and His Majesty, saying that her cousin the Crown Prince would return to the capital today.

She hoped to meet her cousin the Crown Prince on this inevitable journey.

Before the Crown Prince's cousin went to war, for some unknown reason, he suddenly rarely returned to the Eastern Palace and spent most of his time living in the Crown Prince's Mansion outside the palace.

Qi Wanyin was worried that her cousin the Crown Prince would go straight back to the Crown Prince's Mansion after entering the palace to pay his respects to the Emperor and his aunt.

If that were the case, she would probably not even be able to see her cousin the Crown Prince.

Seeing Su Jingyao staring outside in a daze, Chu Yinxue started talking to her while eating.

"Yaoyao, after you attended Ye Yaqin's banquet, many men in the capital admired you very much. Young Master Si and Young Master Yan were even more relentless in pursuing you. Don't you really want to consider it?"

"You make it sound like there are only a few men who admire you. Why don't you consider it?"

"My mother wanted me to marry the prince."

Su Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly.

"What if I also want to marry the prince?"

Chu Yinxue's action of picking up food suddenly paused, the chopsticks in her hand suspended in the air, her face full of surprise.

"But the prince will definitely have many wives and concubines in the future. Yaoyao, don't you always want to have someone who loves you the most?"

"Don't you want a husband who loves you wholeheartedly?"

Chu Yinxue's expression suddenly became a little lonely, and she slowly put down her chopsticks.

"But my marriage is not something I can decide."

Chu Yinxue has always been proud. If she marries the prince, she will definitely fight for the highest position. If she does not marry the prince, her father will use her for family marriage and she will become the mistress of a noble family.

"I am the eldest daughter of the Chu family. My father will only marry me to a man who can enhance the family's power. Your father is already the head of the civil officials and loves you so much. If you don't want to marry the prince, you don't have to."

Chu Yinxue's marriage has never been under her control. In fact, she doesn't care who she will marry in the end, because according to her status, they will always be powerful people.

Chu Yinxue couldn't stand hardship, so she didn't resist the husband chosen for her by her family.

But of course it would be best if she could marry a man who is devoted to her.

Su Jingyao walked over to sit beside Chu Yinxue and saw that there was a hint of depression in her expression.

Prepare to tease her.

He teased, "Are you underestimating me? Who says you can't find a loyal person if you marry the prince?"

"If I want the prince to love only me, I can do it. Since the prince marries me, he will not marry anyone else."

If it was Jun Zechen who had no memory of his past life, Su Jingyao would naturally not dare to make such a boast.

But now Jun Zechen, didn’t he promise to marry only her?

Chu Yinxue couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this.

"Yaoyao, it's fine if you say this to my face, but the prince is going to be the most noble man in the world, how can he only marry one person?"

She shook her head slightly.

Isn't Yaoyao a very rational person? Normally, she can make sense when you talk to her.

"Although you have stunning beauty, the royal family's rules are there, and men are fickle. You must not fall in love with the prince. Men are not good people. Isn't that what you taught me?"

"But...if you can really make the prince marry only you, then my mother won't keep thinking about marrying me to the prince."

Chu Yinxue and Su Jingyao were very close, and Chu Yinxue put his head on her shoulder.

"It would be nice if I didn't have to get married..."

The two were chatting animatedly when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Miaoyun walked over and opened the door. When she saw who was outside, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then she hurriedly saluted.

"Master Yan, Master Si, Master Qi, Master Wang."

Among these four gentlemen, only Master Wang was born in a poor family, but he is this year's third place in the imperial examination and has a bright future.

Now I am a disciple of Lord Su.

No wonder they knew Su Jingyao and Chu Yinxue were here.

Master Wang looked embarrassed. He had originally planned to come here to look for Miss Su by himself, but he had not expected that the other masters seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding and kept following him.

They all came from prominent families, so it was difficult for him to refuse.

Chu Yinxue looked up at the men at the door and rolled her eyes secretly.

here we go again……
