Wearing a book, hooking him up

Almost a month has passed since I last met Jun Zechen at Lingyuan Temple.

Su Jingyao sat in front of the window, looking at the letter in her hand with worried eyes, her face full of worry and confusion.

"If Yaoyao doesn't leave the house again, I will ask my father for permission to marry her, so that Yaoyao can come to the Crown Prince's house openly."

After reading the contents of the letter, Su Jingyao clenched her teeth.

When the emperor granted the marriage, the empress sent him several maids, but he refused to accept them. The empress asked him why. Was he going to say that he would remain a virgin for Su Jingyao?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Wouldn’t the Queen tear me apart?

Maybe it’s not that exaggerated, but her original satisfaction rating of 90 points might drop directly to 60 points, or even lower.

"Bastard, stinky man, straight man!" Su Jingyao couldn't help but mutter.

Then, in a rage, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter: "Your Highness, as the Crown Prince, can't you think of a way to get me out of the house?!"

A few days later, Su Jingyao received an invitation from Princess Minghui!

After Su Jingyao walked out of the Su Mansion with Princess Minghui's invitation letter, she saw Princess Minghui's gorgeous carriage from afar.

The palace maid beside her was guarding beside the carriage. When she saw Miss Su coming out, she hurried forward.

He said respectfully: "Miss Su, the princess is in the carriage, please get in."

As soon as Su Jingyao entered, she bowed and greeted.

Princess Minghui had a stern face.

"Get up and sit down."

She couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her now.

I really didn't expect that Su Jingyao would be favored by the emperor!

The reason why Princess Minghui invited Su Jingyao today was because her royal brother made a deal with her.

The emperor asked her to act as a bridge between him and Su Jingyao in the future, so that Su Jingyao could leave the house through her.

In exchange, the emperor agreed to let Master Yan marry her when he returned to Beijing!

Although Princess Minghui was still angry that Su Jingyao had never given her face when she left the palace several times before.

But now thinking about it, it turned out that it was because she had long been favored by the emperor and would become his sister-in-law in the future, that was why she was so arrogant.

Then it seems reasonable that Su Jingyao didn't give her face.

After thinking about it, she decided not to care about it.

Su Jingyao sat aside, looking slightly embarrassed.

She had not had a good relationship with Princess Minghui before, and she never expected that Jun Zechen would directly ask Princess Minghui to pick her up.

Could it be that the Queen really didn't know? Su Jingyao kept wondering in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter could not be kept secret for long.

Forget it, just let it go and deal with it as it comes. The queen knows about it and she will just try every possible way to please her mother-in-law.

She should be able to handle it? As long as Jun Zechen doesn't cause trouble for her.

"Princess Minghui knows about what happened between me and the Crown Prince?" Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and asked softly.

"Yes, Miss Su really did a good job of hiding it."

Princess Minghui curled her lips and thought to herself, if she had known that she was her future sister-in-law, she would never have dared to go against her.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, not even my mother."

Along the way, Su Jingyao and Princess Minghui were in a dull atmosphere and did not say much.

After she arrived at the princess's mansion, she quietly got on the carriage sent by Jun Zechen from the back door of the mansion and finally arrived at the prince's mansion.

-

When Su Jingyao stepped into the study, Jun Zechen was sitting at the desk, busy with his work with full concentration.

He heard the noise, looked up, and when he saw it was her, he said directly, "Come here."

Su Jingyao walked over quickly and sat next to him obediently.

"Yaoyao, have you never thought about me?"

If he hadn't urged her to leave the house and given her a solution, she would have probably been happy in the house.

Su Jingyao took his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly, "No, I miss you very much."

Having not seen each other for a long time, he couldn't help wanting to get close to her. Jun Zechen put his arm around her waist and held her directly on his lap.

"You have no conscience. You will have to leave the house once every two weeks. Let Minghui cover for you."

"What if someone finds out?"

"What should I do? If you are found, you can openly become my fiancée."

"I'm afraid the Queen doesn't like me."

Su Jingyao looked a little depressed.

"Why?"

If I marry her as the Crown Princess, my mother will only be very satisfied. How could she not like her?

"If the Queen wants Brother Zechen to take a concubine, what will Brother Zechen do?"

Su Jingyao raised her eyes and looked at him straight, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"You've been worrying about this?"

Jun Zechen sighed helplessly and reached out to gently smooth her frown.

"Will you marry many women?"

"Of course not. I will take care of it with my mother. You are enough for my backyard."

"So don't be afraid, your mother won't make things difficult for you." Jun Zechen looked at her solemnly.

If you didn't really love me in your previous life, who would believe you?

Su Jingyao thought secretly in her heart, but she might as well just believe it for the time being.

She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Okay, I'll believe you for now."

-

In the days that followed, Su Jingyao used Princess Minghui as an excuse almost every time she met Jun Zechen, and the intervals between meetings were as long as half a month.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the fourteen-year-old Su Jingyao had grown from a little girl into a graceful young lady.

In the exquisite and luxurious room, the evening sunset shines through the window like a dream, gently spreading to every corner of the room.

On the bed, there was sleeping a beauty who looked like she had walked out of a painting, with skin as white as cream and a face that was absolutely beautiful.

After Jun Zechen had almost finished reviewing today's memorials, he tiptoed into the room.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he walked over, sat down beside the bed, his eyes full of tenderness, and just looked at her quietly for a long time.

Jun Zechen touched her smooth cheek with the back of his hand.

Su Jingyao seemed to feel a little itchy, her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked like she was about to wake up.

But it seemed that he didn't want to be disturbed in his sleep, so he simply pulled the quilt over his head and covered himself tightly.

"You haven't woken up yet? You're not going back to the Su Mansion today?"

Jun Zechen looked at her childish behavior and couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Jingyao, who was under the quilt, was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She quickly put down the quilt and stuck her head out.

I looked out the window and it seemed to be quite late.

Su Jingyao, with a bit of coquettishness, rested her head on Jun Zechen's legs and hugged his waist with both hands.

"Why is the sunset coming out?" There was a hint of complaint in her voice.

Jun Zechen gently stroked her long hair.

"You're not ashamed to ask? After sleeping for so long, can you still sleep at night?"

"If you can't sleep, just read a book." Su Jingyao muttered.

"Don't hurt your eyes."

"Get up. I will take you back to the Su Mansion after dinner."

Su Jingyao's eyes flashed, and then she said, "No need, I'll go back by myself. Isn't Brother Zechen very busy today?"

"I have already finished my work while you were sleeping soundly."

Jun Zechen said as he picked the person up.

Su Jingyao put her head on his shoulder, and Jun Zechen couldn't see her expression.

I don't want him to send me today...

Over the past year, Su Jingyao has been leaving the house once every two weeks. After going out a few times, Su Jingyao keenly felt that someone was following her secretly.

Later, she specifically asked Li Jin to arrange a few martial arts masters to be around her.

If she found someone following her, she would track them down secretly, and finally found out that it was someone from the Ye Mansion. It seemed that Ye Yaqin knew the relationship between her and the prince.

When Su Jingyao returned home today, she made an appointment with Li Jin to ask about the situation.

It’s better not to let this jealous guy know.

As for Ye Yaqin, since it was impossible for her to enter the East Palace, Su Jingyao didn't want to do anything to a little girl.

Every woman in the family has her own responsibilities to shoulder, and so does Ye Yaqin.

If she could avoid becoming enemies with these women in this life, Su Jingyao didn't want to do anything extreme.

So she didn't tell Jun Zechen about this. If he knew about it, he would deal with it much more harshly than she did.

Jun Zechen carried her to the dining table, and they began to enjoy their dinner sweetly.

"Brother Zechen, Yinxue has invited a few good friends from Beijing to watch a performance at Mofeng Tower today. I'm going to pass by there later and support her before going home."

Su Jingyao blinked her bright big eyes and looked very well-behaved.

"So Brother Zechen doesn't have to see me off today."

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly.

Chu Yinxue is not behaving herself now. Over the past year or so, she has seen her brother staring blankly and grinning foolishly while holding a letter several times. She walked closer out of curiosity and saw that the beautiful handwriting was exactly Chu Yinxue's.

No one knew when the two of them broke the window paper, but Chu Yinxue would find various reasons to go out and see her brother.

But they are much more innocent than Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen, and they will not meet privately in a deserted place.

Just like today, I gathered some young ladies and gentlemen from the capital to meet them in public.

I guess my brother is waiting for Chu Yinxue to reach the age before asking mother to propose marriage.

Chu Yinxue chose Mofeng Tower to invite these young ladies because Mofeng Tower is Su Jingyao's property.

The people invited by Chu Yinxue are among the best in the capital, which will be of great benefit to improving the status of Mofeng Tower.

Jun Zechen looked at her pretending to be good, and said nothing. Instead, he picked up a delicate dish and said, "Open your mouth."

Before Su Jingyao could react, she subconsciously opened her mouth and Jun Zechen fed her the flower meal.

Su Jingyao's eyes were full of confusion. She looked at him in puzzlement, as if asking: What's wrong?

Jun Zechen knew that she always chewed her food slowly and could chew a mouthful of food dozens of times.

When you don't want to listen to her, just let her eat.

Jun Zechen didn't dare to say that he knew her very well, but he was very familiar with her intentional innocent eyes and the obedient expression when she lied.

If she had really made an appointment with Chu Yinxue, she would never have had this expression.
