Wearing a book, hooking him up

Chapter 20 Chance Encounter

In the afternoon, the sunlight was bright and soft, pouring into every corner of the bedroom.

Su Jingyao was lying quietly on the couch taking a nap, her long black hair casually scattered on the pillow, her fair face was glowing faintly under the sunlight, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like a small fan.

After finishing his dinner, Jun Zechen came to Xiyan Palace from Yude Palace. Without notifying anyone, he walked quietly into the bedroom.

He came to the bed, took off his robe, lifted the quilt and held the sleeping woman in his arms.

When Su Jingyao was hugged in his arms, she woke up in a daze, "Hmm..." and moaned softly before continuing to sleep.

These days she could feel Jun Zechen's intimacy with her, but she didn't think Jun Zechen liked her deeply.

It was just a feeling of pleasure at first sight.

After all, how could one easily give away his feelings to someone who could become a crown prince and potentially an emperor in the future?

After Jun Zechen held Su Jingyao in his arms, he couldn't help but rub the skin on her waist with his big hands.

Her skin is so delicate and smooth that it seems like water could be squeezed out with a slight pinch.

Smelling the faint fragrance on her body, Jun Zechen gradually fell into a deep sleep.

After about half an hour, Su Jingyao's biological clock woke her up naturally.

After all, her daily routine and schedule are fully arranged.

Su Jingyao moved slightly, and Jun Zechen also opened his eyes.

Su Jingyao hugged Jun Zechen's waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest.

"What? You don't want me to get up?" Jun Zechen's voice was filled with a hint of teasing.

In the past two days, every time the little woman woke up, she would get up without any greed and do her own things, such as reading, writing, flower arranging, and painting. Her hobbies are quite wide.

Su Jingyao rubbed her hands against his chest, raised her head, looked at him with moist eyes, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness has been treating me very well these past few days, I can't bear to leave."

"I'm not not coming, why are you so clingy today?" Jun Zechen chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheek.

Su Jingyao got up from him, still looking at him with her watery eyes, pouting her lips and acting like a spoiled child.

"I heard that all five sisters will go to the East Palace this afternoon. I am afraid that I will not see Your Highness for several days, so I want to stick with Your Highness today."

Jun Zechen liked the way she was clingy and coquettish, and also admired her unabashed quest for favor. In his opinion, she was real and cute like this.

He sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at Su Jingyao with a teasing look.

"I will go to the Imperial Study to discuss government affairs with my father. Please come to Yude Hall for dinner tonight. Are you satisfied?"

Su Jingyao felt a little shy when he looked at her. She lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling, and she bit her lips lightly, not daring to look at him.

Jun Zechen chuckled, reached out and pinched her delicate face, then got up and got out of bed.

After Jun Zechen left, Su Jingyao also slowly got up from the bed.

She stretched lazily, and her slender waist like a willow branch swayed gently, showing her charm.

Then, she casually used her hands to gather her hair that fell like a waterfall. The hair entangled around her fingertips, making her skin look even more white and bright.

"Master, the five beauties have entered the palace, and the Queen's imperial decree of enthronement has also been notified to the Eastern Palace." Miaoyun reported softly from the side.

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming a little nonchalant.

"Oh? What position was conferred?"

"The one with the highest rank is An Jinyan, the daughter of Marquis Pingyang. She was named a third-rank concubine. Bai Mengli, the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was named a fourth-rank concubine."

Miaoyun spoke in an orderly manner.

"The other three beauties are all from other cities. Shen Biwan and Shangguan Yi have better family backgrounds, so they were given the rank of seventh-rank recruiting officials. The last beauty, Tang Suxi, is said to be the daughter of a county magistrate, and she was given the rank of ninth-rank Fengyi." Miaoyun continued to report.

Apart from An Jinyan, a female supporting role in the novel, Su Jingyao did not have much impression of other women.

"Where do they live in the East Palace? Was it arranged by the Queen or the Crown Princess?"

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes slightly and asked.

"An Liang Di was given a sleeping palace by the Empress Dowager. She lives in Xiyun Palace, which is not far from the Crown Prince's Yude Palace. The other masters were arranged by the Crown Princess."

"Bai Liangyuan lives in the main hall of Yufu Palace, Shen Zhaoxun lives in the side hall of Yufu Palace, Shangguan Zhaoxun lives in Xingyun Pavilion, and Tang Fengyi lives in the most remote Shuyuxuan."

Su Jingyao nodded lightly, "Find a way to send someone to Xiyun Palace."

"Yes, master." Miaoyun replied.

Although she didn't know why her master cared so much about An Liangdi, she knew very well that her master's orders all had profound meanings.

An Liangdi has a good family background and was granted a bedroom by the Queen herself, so it seems that she is quite favored by the Queen.

If An Liangdi becomes pregnant with the emperor's heir again, she might really be able to overthrow her master.

Su Jingyao naturally had to take precautions against all potential enemies in advance. She couldn't just sit there and wait for others to plot against her, at a loss like a headless fly.

What's more, the people she placed in the palace had basically nothing to do with her. They were all secretly sent into the palace by Li Jin.

Most of these people entered the palace when they were seven or eight years old. They didn't know her at all and only recognized the token of trust.

It was even more impossible for Su Jingyao to reveal even the slightest sign of her identity in front of these people.

"We are going to have dinner at Yude Hall tonight. Miaoyun, please make me a kodan."

Su Jingyao gently placed her ten slender fingers in front of her and looked at them carefully. Her fingers were long and white, as if they were carved from white jade.

Then, she opened her lips and said, "Apply a more pastel color."

When Miaoyun heard this, she was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face for a moment.

She originally thought that with so many new masters entering the East Palace today, His Highness would definitely choose someone to sleep with him among them, especially An Liangdi, who would probably be the first one to sleep with him.

But I didn't expect that His Highness would ask his own master to accompany him for dinner today, so naturally he would not summon other women at night.

"Okay, Master. I just mashed up some Impatiens yesterday and will prepare it for you. I will definitely dye your slender fingers beautifully. Your Highness will definitely like it when he sees it."

During the afternoon, Su Jingyao sat there leisurely, letting Miaoyun paint her nails.

From time to time, she stretched out her fingers, admiring the nails that were gradually turning pink, with a faint smile on her lips.

After painting her nails, Su Jingyao carefully put on her makeup and dressed up.

She was wearing a pink and white dress, the hem of which trailed the ground like flowing clouds, and the sleeves were wide, perfectly showing the slender lines between the woman's shoulders and arms.

The wide embroidered robe below the elbows appeared elegant and graceful, swaying gently with her movements, as if a fairy had descended to earth, so beautiful.

Su Jingyao walked out of the palace slowly. At this time, the sky outside had been dyed colorful by the red glow.

She walked with light steps, and not long after, she unexpectedly met a woman in a light yellow dress.

Su Jingyao's gaze fell quietly on the woman. Her makeup was impeccably delicate. She was beautiful and bright, and she exuded an aristocratic aura from head to toe.

An Jinyan had never expected that after entering the Eastern Palace today, she would rest in Xiyun Hall for an hour or so, thinking of coming out to relax and get familiar with the environment of the Eastern Palace.

I actually met Concubine Su here.

She walked forward, bowed slightly, made a shallow salute, and said softly, "I pay my respects to Concubine Su."

"Get up." Su Jingyao's voice was gentle but with a barely perceptible hint of distance.

An Jinyan slowly stood up, and the moment she looked at Su Jingyao, her heart sank.

She had always believed that she was extremely beautiful, and after entering the Eastern Palace, she was even more convinced that she would be favored by the prince.

However, Concubine Su was so stunningly beautiful that she did not pay much attention to her at the tea banquet. After all, the only person who had been with the Queen at that time was the Crown Princess.

When An Jinyan first met the Crown Princess, she never considered her a rival.

In her eyes, the Crown Princess's appearance was just ordinary.

Although she had heard some gossip and knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had deep feelings for the Crown Princess, An Jinyan was confident in her beauty and firmly believed that His Royal Highness would not be indifferent to her looks.

but……

An Jinyan looked at Su Jingyao calmly again. She heard that Concubine Su was not favored in the Eastern Palace. It was only a month after she married into the Eastern Palace that His Highness began to favor her.

Is it true that His Highness and the Crown Princess are in love with each other and have no interest in beauty?

A gloomy look flashed across An Jinyan's eyes.

She would not let a crown princess become a stumbling block on her way forward.

Although her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, An Jinyan's face remained as calm as usual, with even a hint of a smile on her face.

"Sister Concubine is so beautiful. When I see you, I feel so ashamed."

"An Liang Di, you don't have to be so modest. You are also very beautiful. However, it is getting late. I have to go to Yude Hall to have dinner with His Highness. I will not exchange pleasantries with you. We can have a good chat tomorrow morning when I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao's voice was still gentle.

"Yes, sister Concubine, take care."

An Jinyan nodded slightly and watched Su Jingyao's leaving back, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Isn’t Concubine Su unfavored?

How can I go to Yude Hall to have dinner with His Highness?

What's more, today is the day when the five beauties enter the Eastern Palace. Will His Highness not summon them to the palace?

An Jinyan always felt that among these five beauties, she would be the first to serve the emperor in bed.

She had seen all the other concubines, but she didn't care about the looks of other women except Tang Suxi, who looked pitiful, pretentious, and had an ordinary family background.

An Jinyan frowned, stamped her feet lightly, and said angrily: "Humph, go back!"

Bai Zhi, who was standing aside, followed her master back helplessly, sighing softly in her heart.

She knew that her master was probably going to lose his temper again.

An Jinyan was spoiled at home and had an arrogant and willful personality.

However, she was not brainless. Her arrogance seemed lively and cute in front of the master and the mistress, but scary in the eyes of the maids who served her.

Bai Zhi was An Jinyan's personal maid in the boudoir, and she also followed her into the palace this time. Although An Jinyan had a bad temper, she was still nice to her.
