Wearing a book, hooking him up

When Ling Yue arrived at Yude Hall, he saw Jun Zechen sitting lazily and casually on the couch, holding a book nonchalantly in one hand, his eyes seemed focused yet a little wandering.

"Aze."

Ling Yue called softly with a gentle smile on her face.

"Well, sit down."

Jun Zechen didn't even raise his head, but just responded casually, his voice as flat as water.

"Aze, I came here today to ask you about the arrangements for this year's Flower Festival."

Ling Yue looked at him with eyes full of anticipation.

When Jun Zechen heard Ling Yue mention the Flower Festival, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have promised Ling Yue that he would accompany her every Flower Festival, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

My mind was racing with thoughts of how to refuse, when suddenly an idea struck me.

If he refused directly, Ling Yue would probably become suspicious if she had memories of her previous life.

But Su Jingyao is the only person whose trajectory is completely different from that of her previous life, and this difference is also fueled by Ling Yue. In that case, let's use Su Jingyao as an excuse.

"Well, I took you to Linlang Street last year. This year, let's go to Fanhuali. The concubine has just entered the mansion. She is a little girl and she also likes this kind of festival. I agreed to take her with me."

When Jun Zechen said this, there was not much expression on his face, but his eyes were a little vague.

He didn't want to be alone with Ling Yue, so he might as well bring someone interesting along.

When Ling Yue heard this, her smile froze instantly, and her eyes, which were originally full of expectation, dimmed a little.

Jun Zechen had told her the same thing in his previous life.

What is Jun Zechen's attitude towards Su Jingyao? If he likes her, why doesn't he stay overnight in Shuening Palace? If he doesn't like her, why does he take her out with him during the Huachao Festival?

Why has she changed so much in this life, but it seems that some things are still developing along the same trajectory as in her previous life?

But since Ling Yue had already pretended to be magnanimous in front of Jun Zechen, she naturally would not refuse.

"Concubine Chunliang, it would be good for you to go with us."

Ling Yue forced a smile and tried to make his voice sound calm and gentle.

"Just Aze, let's go to Linlang Street, okay? I want to play the flower order game. Although I am not good at poetry, as long as Aze is here, I will definitely win. When I win a piece of paper, I want to write my best wishes to Aze."

Ling Yue calmed herself down, pretending to be looking forward to it, and leaned forward slightly.

In her previous life, Su Jingyao secretly went to Linlang Street and deliberately asked Jun Zechen to find her. Ling Yue didn't know whether the series of events that happened later were arranged by Su Jingyao, but since she knew Su Jingyao's true face, she no longer believed in coincidences.

If Su Jingyao continues to be scheming and manipulative in this life, it will be a good opportunity for Jun Zechen to see her true face.

"I went to the Flower Festival to accompany you. Since you want to go to Linlang Street, then let's go to Linlang Street."

"As long as you are happy."

Jun Zechen's expression remained indifferent, and he seemed to have no interest in the Flower Festival.

"Yes, Aze is so nice."

A smile appeared on Ling Yue's face again, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting a satisfactory answer, she originally wanted to stay overnight in Yude Hall. After all, Jun Zechen had been at Su Jingyao's place these days.

"Your Highness, why are you still not asleep today?"

Ling Yue's voice was soft, with a hint of suggestion.

"I'll read a book for a while. If Yue'er has nothing to do, go back and have a rest."

Jun Zechen's eyes never left the book, his tone was cold and distant, and he did not stop turning the pages.

Ling Yue wanted to say something, but her lips moved and a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But seeing that Jun Zechen's eyes were always fixed on the book, as if he was ignoring her, she didn't say anything more.

I could only stand up and leave awkwardly, "Then I won't disturb Aze anymore. Aze, remember to rest early."

-

Time flies, and the annual Flower Festival arrives as scheduled.

Linlang Street.

Su Jingyao was wearing a delicate yellow waist-hugging skirt. The fabric of the skirt was as silky and smooth, and it was slightly shiny under the interweaving of moonlight and light.

The slender belt was tied with a white strap, the edge of which was embroidered with exquisite patterns. The tassels swayed gently as she walked, and the gems inlaid on it sparkled like stars.

Her makeup also carefully matched the outfit. She had a light touch of powder on her fair face and a faint pink blush on her cheeks.

Her eyebrows are like distant ink, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes have a bit of smart charm. Her cherry-like mouth is painted with fresh lipstick, which makes her look more delicate and lovely. Her pair of bright eyes are like clear lake water, smart and pure.

She walked on the right side of Jun Zechen, while Ling Yue was on the left side of Jun Zechen.

Both sides of Linlang Street are bustling with activity, and the aroma of various snacks fills the air, making people salivate.

The dazzling array of accessories on the jewelry stall sparkled under the lights, and the noodle soup stall was steaming, full of the flavor of life.

Because it was the Flower Festival, there were already a large number of lanterns hung by the government on both sides of the road. The lanterns were of various shapes and colorful. Even in the dark, they were as bright as day, lighting up the entire street like a dream.

Ling Yue looked at this scene, and suddenly recalled the time when she, Jun Zechen, and Su Jingyao went out together at the Flower Festival in her previous life.

At that time, she fully believed in Su Jingyao's innocence, and she laughed and talked all the way.

At that time, she was not only very interested in the Flower Festival, but also wanted to show off Jun Zechen's specialness and love for her in front of Su Jingyao. Jun Zechen protected her so much that she became innocent and had no scheming at all.

However, when she returned to that day, she wanted to pretend to be as carefree as before and talk and laugh with Jun Zechen without any care, but it seemed difficult to do so.

Inside this young body is a broken soul and a heart that only wants revenge.

"Husband, the jewelry over there looks very exquisite. I want to go and take a look."

Ling Yue called Jun Zechen affectionately, her voice soft and gentle.

Jun Zechen nodded slightly.

Then Ling Yue turned to Su Jingyao and said, "Sister, do you want to go with me?"

"Okay."

Su Jingyao smiled brightly, charmingly, with clear and innocent eyes, and seemed to have no defenses against Ling Yue.

Ling Yue and Su Jingyao stood side by side in front of the small vendor, their eyes fixed on the stall filled with all kinds of exquisite hair accessories.

Ling Yue leaned forward slightly, and gently fiddled with a few hair accessories with her fingers.

Su Jingyao also looked at the jewelry carefully and asked, "Boss, these jewelry look very delicate. Did you make them yourself?"

The peddler was full of enthusiasm and smiled as he replied, "Madams, these jewels were made by my wife and I. Today is the Flower Festival, so I specially brought them here to sell. They are all jewels with meanings and good wishes. Do you like any of them?"

Ling Yue slowly turned her head and looked at Su Jingyao beside her, with a seemingly friendly smile on her lips.

"Sister, my husband and I have been married for two years and we are in perfect harmony. You grew up in a prosperous place like the capital. I believe you have a good taste. Would you be willing to choose a piece of jewelry with a better meaning for me?"

After saying that, she looked at Su Jingyao, as if waiting for her reaction.

At this time, Jun Zechen did not follow them forward, but stood not far away with his hands folded across his chest, waiting calmly for the two to finish their selection.

His eyes occasionally swept over here, but he didn't pay much attention.

Su Jingyao realized that Ling Yue was trying to disgust her and sneered in her heart.

In this case, she is not going to pretend to be kind and generous anymore. Why should she pretend when there is someone pretending to be kind and generous next to her?

Ah.

"Sister, this hibiscus pendant looks nice. It goes well with your bright dress today."

Su Jingyao picked up a pendant casually, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were a little nonchalant.

"Sister, why don't you choose a phoenix hairpin for me? Are you tired of seeing my husband doting on me?"

Ling Yue raised her voice, with a hint of sharpness in it and a provocative expression, as if she wanted everyone around her to hear it on purpose.

"Sister, do you know what the sentence after 'Hibiscus Flowers of the Past' means?"

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and asked Ling Yue with a smile.

When Ling Yue heard this, she frowned slightly, looking confused and unhappy.

She was not good at poetry and literature, and had no idea what Su Jingyao meant by this. But from Su Jingyao's tone, she intuitively felt that this was definitely not a good implication.

"What do you mean, sister?"

There was a hint of vigilance and questioning in Ling Yue's voice, and she stared at Su Jingyao fiercely.

"Oh, so you didn't know. Then I'll explain it more clearly. 'It's easy to change the hearts of old friends, but it's easy to change the hearts of old friends.' Do you understand, sister?"

Su Jingyao's smile became brighter, but it was filled with blatant sarcasm, and her tone became sharper.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao took Ling Yue's hand and placed the hibiscus pendant in Ling Yue's hand.

Her movements seemed gentle, but her eyes were filled with contempt.

"Miaoyun, pay the money. Consider it a gift from me to my sister."

Then, Su Jingyao picked up the phoenix hairpin that Ling Yue had just mentioned.

She had a sweet smile on her face and walked to Jun Zechen who was not far away.

"Husband, this hairpin is so beautiful, can you buy it for me?"

Su Jingyao said in a tender voice, gently shaking Jun Zechen's sleeves with both hands.

Jun Zechen looked at the plain hairpin, then at the various luxurious and exquisite headdresses on her head, his face full of confusion.

I really don't understand why she would like this. Is the Eastern Palace treating her harshly?

It's just a hairpin, you can buy it if you like.

Jun Zechen stopped hesitating and nodded slightly, signaling to Anshun beside him.

"Since the Second Madam likes it, go and pay for it."

"My dear husband, can you put it on for me?"

Su Jingyao blinked.

Jun Zechen looked at the hairpin with a little disdain. The style was nice, but the workmanship and material were average.

Did she no longer wear jewelry after entering the Eastern Palace?

It would be better to have someone make a few more headgear for her later on, lest her taste becomes worse after she enters the Eastern Palace.

Jun Zechen took the hairpin and inserted it into her hair with a somewhat awkward movement.

Su Jingyao smiled innocently in the direction of Ling Yue, but only Ling Yue knew that Su Jingyao's smile was full of provocation!
