Wearing a book, hooking him up

That day, there was a thunderstorm and the sky seemed to be dyed in ink. Su Jingyao called Jun Zechen to Shuining Palace.

Jun Zechen came as he was told and stayed by Su Jingyao's side until she fell into a deep sleep, then he left quietly.

However, Su Jingyao was confused and dissatisfied. The rain was so heavy that day. If she hadn't sent someone to Qiluan Palace to call him over, wouldn't Jun Zechen have stayed at Ling Yue's place?

On the contrary, was it so repulsive to him to rest with her?

Su Jingyao sometimes felt that Jun Zechen was very doting on her, and most of her requests were granted.

But sometimes I feel that his heart is as hard as a rock, extremely cold and hard, and he has astonishing self-control.

Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he really wanted to stay, but his so-called principles and long-standing habits always drove him to suppress his emotional impulses and always make the most rational choices.

This is exactly what bothers Su Jingyao the most. This old man is really unpredictable!

Difficult.

Since that day, no one knew what Jun Zechen was thinking, but he hadn't stepped into the backyard for nearly ten days.

Su Jingyao couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Ling Yue was already discussing taking a concubine with the Queen. If she didn't fight for some favor, how could she get what she wanted?

Ling Yue was also more difficult to deal with than imagined. Now there were only the two of them in the backyard, and neither Ling Yue nor she could do anything blatantly.

Ling Yue was also calm and composed. She didn't care where Jun Zechen rested. She just followed the nanny to handle the backyard affairs every day, or went to Kunning Palace to find the queen.

Su Jingyao looked into the distance in deep thought.

Maybe Ling Yue selected some people to come in in advance. The more lively the backyard is, the more convenient it will be for her to act...

The most urgent matter now is Jun Zechen, and Ling Yue will wait for other women to enter the palace before resolving the issue.

"Miaoyun, make a bowl of calming soup, and let's go to Yude Hall."

When Su Jingyao arrived at Yude Hall with the carefully prepared calming soup, Jun Zechen was not reviewing documents at the desk as she had expected. Instead, he was lying lazily on the couch, holding a book in his hands with a leisurely look on his face.

So this man is deliberately avoiding her, right?

Su Jingyao happened to catch a glimpse of the cover of this book, and it turned out to be "The Book of Changes"!

If he is really an old man, what man in his early twenties would study philosophy?

At least at this age, Jun Zechen should be reading history books, political commentaries, or military strategies.

No wonder he is so determined and studies the "Book of Changes" all day long. I'm afraid all he thinks about is the balance of yin and yang, adapting to changes, and making reasonable decisions. How could he care about love between men and women?

Su Jingyao sighed quietly in her heart.

But she still had that cute and obedient smile on her face. She walked up to Jun Zechen and bowed slightly.

"See Your Highness."

"I specially prepared a bowl of calming soup for Your Highness today. Your Highness has been busy with government affairs in Yude Hall for the past ten days. I believe you must be exhausted both physically and mentally. I hope this calming soup can help relieve some of your fatigue."

Jun Zechen shifted his gaze to her, "You did it?"

Su Jingyao's eyes dodged and she said "hmm" softly. She had been watching by the side when it was almost done, so that counted as what she did.

When Jun Zechen saw her like that, he knew she was lying.

"Leave it there. I don't have much appetite at the moment."

He had long been tired of drinking the calming soups in the palace. He originally thought that it was really made by her, so he drank a sip just to give her face. If not, he would not have the slightest interest in it.

Su Jingyao didn't care. Sending the calming soup was just a cover anyway. She put the calming soup down and sat next to Jun Zechen, tilting her head slightly.

He asked softly, "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

Jun Zechen tapped the line in the book he was reading with his slender fingers.

Su Jingyao leaned over, her eyes fell on the line of words, she opened her cherry lips and read them out softly.

"A gentleman works hard all day long and is vigilant at night, and he has no fault."

This sentence is intended to remind a gentleman to strive for self-improvement throughout the day and not to slack off even at night. He should always remain alert and not indulge in comfort and pleasure.

The reason why the "Book of Changes" is regarded as philosophy is that different people will have different interpretations when reading the same sentence in different contexts.

What would Jun Zechen think when he saw this sentence?

Could it be that he devoted all his attention to government affairs during the day and had to remain rational even at night and not be seduced by women?

As expected of an emperor, he really knows how to PUA himself. He must be a chosen worker.

"What do you think of this sentence, Concubine?"

Jun Zechen seemed to be asking the question casually, but Su Jingyao keenly felt that he was setting a trap for himself.

If I agree, wouldn't I be encouraging him to treat women as tools for continuing his family line?

If I don't agree, do I want Jun Zechen to indulge in love?

I'm afraid Jun Zechen will think that she is just like other women, greedily trying to gain power from him, and even mock her for overestimating her own capabilities.

Su Jingyao did not respond directly, but pouted and whispered, "I can't do it anyway."

She should stay alert and work hard day and night. It is better to let the emperor do this kind of thing. She is definitely unable to do it.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle, "You are really honest."

"Besides bringing me the tranquilizing soup, is there anything else you need today?"

"I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. I miss you so much. Will you go to Shuining Palace tonight?"

Jun Zechen was stunned. This woman was very straightforward every time she asked for favor.

After he went to Shuining Hall during the thunderstorm that day, he felt that he seemed to be unable to resist her, so he decided to stay in Yude Hall for a month to calm down, and even took out the "Book of Changes" to read, trying to cultivate his character.

When I suddenly saw her today, my heart felt like being scratched by a kitten.

It seems that no matter what you talk to her about, she always has unexpected answers. The daughter of the Su family has indeed been brought up with a very high cultural literacy.

However, since he has decided to restrain himself, Jun Zechen has never been a person who gives up halfway.

He immediately said: "I haven't finished dealing with today's government affairs..."

Su Jingyao couldn't bear to hear a rejection. Before he could finish his words, her face turned cold and she immediately stood up from him.

She bowed slightly and said stiffly, "Your Highness, please get busy. I will go back now."

Jun Zechen's eyes flashed with dullness for a moment. He was unable to react in time to her smooth and swift movements of standing up, bowing, turning around and leaving.

Is she giving me a cold shoulder?

In the evening, Jun Zechen finally went to Shuining Palace.

When he stepped into the hall, Su Jingyao had just finished bathing.

She was wearing a tight silk tube top dress, and her graceful figure was very seductive. However, she gently gathered her wet long hair to her chest, just enough to conceal her charm.

She walked out of the inner room with light lotus steps. When she looked up, she saw Jun Zechen sitting in front of her dressing table.

"Isn't your highness busy with government affairs?"

There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in Su Jingyao's tone.

Although he said he wouldn't come, his body was quite honest.

"I was afraid you would go back to your bedroom and cry in secret."

There was a hint of teasing in Jun Zechen's eyes.

"I have already cried when I came back. Your Highness is late."

Su Jingyao stood beside him gracefully, her pretty face now wrinkled. She lowered her eyes and looked at him with a sense of grievance.

Jun Zechen was so amused by her appearance that he laughed. He pulled her into his arms with his big hands.

He gently opened her face and made her look at the mirror on the dressing table, then put his warm lips close to her ear.

The voice was deep: "Such a pretty face must look very pretty when crying. Since I'm late, why don't you cry for me again?"

She lies effortlessly and easily.

Her eyes weren't even red at all, and she didn't look like she had been crying at all. The same thing happened when she broke her ankle that day. There was no visible red mark, but she couldn't even walk.

Su Jingyao never expected that this old man could be so shameless. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes instantly turned red.

No matter what you question, don't question her ability to shed tears.

Tears began to well up in my eyes, ready to burst out.

Jun Zechen kept his gaze fixed on her in the mirror, watching her eyes quickly fill with tears.

Suddenly I panicked.

"Are you made of water? You cry just like that." His voice was a little flustered.

"Anyway, His Highness doesn't like me and doesn't want to see me every day. I personally went to ask His Highness to come, but he was also very disgusted. When His Highness couldn't see me, didn't I cry enough?"

She sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Your Highness won't feel bad either."

Su Jingyao got up from him angrily, walked hurriedly to the bed, sat on it, and then used both hands to forcefully pull down all the bed curtains.

A person was curled up inside, and sobbing sounds could be heard faintly.

"Your Highness, please go back. It is because I cannot please Your Highness, nor can I make Your Highness feel comfortable. Anyway, the Queen and the Crown Princess are also selecting concubines for you. Soon, you will have more choices."

Her voice was sobbing and muffled, coming from behind the bed curtains.

If Jun Zechen had been like him in the past, he would have stormed out of Shuining Palace long ago.

Who would have thought that this time after she left him, he actually followed her to the bed, and now stood there quietly, like a sculpture, motionless, silently listening to her complaints.

Jun Zechen frowned and reached out to lift the bed curtain, "You say one thing and mean another."

After saying that, he bent down and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his slender fingers.

He hadn't visited her for more than ten days, so she must have mustered up the courage to come to him today. But he still rejected her. Was it because he was worried about his mother's selection for him?

Afraid of falling out of favor?

Seeing that he had become much gentler, Su Jingyao took the opportunity to put her arms around his neck and pushed down hard, bringing Jun Zechen closer to her.

Then, before Jun Zechen could react, she moved her lips closer to his.

Jun Zechen's pupils dilated instantly, the gentleness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and a cold color emerged.

He hadn't kissed a woman in many years, and he would never allow anyone to kiss him without his consent.

In the previous life, all the women in the harem knew that if they took the initiative to do something intimate with him, it would be a crime of disrespect and would result in losing favor at the very least and being banished to the cold palace at the worst. No one dared to challenge Jun Zechen's authority.

But now Su Jingyao seemed to be completely unaware of this and looked at him innocently with her big tearful eyes.

Seeing his indifferent expression, she not only did not back off, but became even bolder and gently pried open his lips with the tip of her tongue.

Jun Zechen lowered his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes became more intense.

He suddenly grabbed the back of her head with his backhand, and like a ferocious beast, he went straight in and gnawed his "food" frantically. The sound of water stains from their kiss rang in each other's ears.

Su Jingyao couldn't help but lean back under his fierce kiss, and her whole body was like a drawn bowstring, presenting a fascinating curve.

She didn't know how long they kissed, she just felt that breathing became more and more difficult, and began to push away his chest with both hands.

"Well, no."

She panted softly, her voice pleading.

Jun Zechen then let her go, stood up, and stared at her with eyes as deep as a pool.

At this moment, both of their lips were glowing with alluring water, and their looks were extremely ambiguous.

Originally, if he had pushed Su Jingyao away the moment she kissed him, Jun Zechen would have had enough reason to scold her for being so insolent, but he couldn't help himself and took the initiative in the kiss.

At this moment, Jun Zechen was angry but didn't know where to vent.

He felt as if he was split into two halves at this moment, one was the rational and sober him, and the other was the him who couldn't resist the temptation.

He stared at Su Jingyao, feeling furious. It was this woman who seduced him!

"Your Highness."

Su Jingyao was frightened by his deep eyes. She couldn't just kiss an old man and then deny it.

She timidly held his hands with her own small hands, knelt on the soft bed, and pulled him back little by little.

Before Jun Zechen himself realized it, he had already followed her movements and got on the bed, pressing her under him...
