Wearing a book, hooking him up

Ever since Su Jingyao took the initiative to kiss Jun Zechen, the atmosphere between the two of them has finally changed significantly and they have become much closer.

The only thing that made Su Jingyao grit her teeth in hatred was that he would leave after making love every time.

I don't understand what this old man is insisting on?

However, Jun Zechen might have known her love for all kinds of jewelry and dresses, so he actually began to give her gifts on his own initiative, which made Su Jingyao get along with him quite harmoniously.

The jadeite pieces needed to be carefully polished by the master craftsmen, especially the hair crown that she had been dreaming of. It would probably take several months to complete.

However, bracelets and some other jewelry were made faster.

The blue jade bracelet has been delivered, and Su Jingyao wears it on her hand with satisfaction.

Today, she wore a light blue waisted long dress with an exquisite butterfly strap in the middle of the long sleeves, which added a bit of playfulness to the originally cool color.

Su Jingyao was strolling leisurely in the small garden of the East Palace in a happy mood, her steps as light as a butterfly.

Life in the Eastern Palace was much more comfortable and pleasant than she had originally imagined.

In order to appear magnanimous and dignified in front of Jun Zechen and the Queen, Ling Yue almost never deliberately made things difficult for her.

Jun Zechen's visits to Shuining Palace were moderate in frequency, just within the acceptable range for Su Jingyao.

Moreover, perhaps because Su Jingyao had expressed strong dissatisfaction with his behavior of returning to Yude Hall halfway several times, Jun Zechen seemed to want to compensate her and always sent her various good things.

The current Shuening Palace is much more luxurious than when she first moved in, and love is evident everywhere.

As he was walking, he happened to run into Ling Yue who was returning to the East Palace from Kunning Palace.

Su Jingyao instantly showed a bright smile on her face. She walked forward gracefully and bowed slightly. Her action seemed respectful, but before Ling Yue could say "no need" she stood up straight as if she didn't care.

What a coincidence! She was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to provoke Ling Yue, but she didn't expect that she would come to her door herself.

Then, Su Jingyao gave Miaoyun a look without saying a word, and Miaoyun understood instantly.

Ever since Jun Zechen ruthlessly abandoned her again on a stormy night and went to Su Jingyao, Ling Yue has become disheartened and basically no longer pays attention to what happens between Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen.

When she and the Queen have arranged everything regarding the selection of concubines, she will definitely give Su Jingyao an unforgettable "gift".

Thinking of this, Ling Yue's eyes suddenly flashed with a few traces of cruelty, and his gaze was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, with a bit of a sinister feeling.

"Isn't Concubine Su too unruly? Did I ask you to get up?" Ling Yue asked.

Su Jingyao laughed sweetly, but with a hint of deliberate affectation.

She raised her slender fingers and gently touched her carefully combed bun.

He said nonchalantly, "I was exhausted from serving His Highness yesterday. I am not feeling well. The Crown Princess is dignified and generous. I don't think she would mind."

After saying that, he blinked at Ling Yue provocatively.

The favored concubine’s arrogant attitude was captured perfectly.

Ling Yue stared at Su Jingyao with sharp eyes, and snorted in her heart, "Does Jun Zechen really like this arrogant look? I wonder how long she can be so proud?"

"Since you are not feeling well, please don't come out and block other people's way."

Ling Yue sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Princess, I like to block other people's way, but others can't move away from me."

Su Jingyao covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled, her eyes were even more wanton and flamboyant, as if she didn't take Ling Yue seriously at all.

Ling Yue gritted her teeth in anger, her cheeks puffed up slightly.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and was unwilling to continue to entangle with Su Jingyao.

In this life, she must take steady steps and watch Su Jingyao fall from the high altar.

Then, she held her head high and walked past Su Jingyao with a proud look on her face, "But in front of me, you can only give way."

Her voice was firm, as if declaring her unshakable position.

As long as she is the prince's wife, she will always be superior to Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao had a smile in her eyes, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

She raised her left hand wearing the blue jade bracelet, and gently stroked her hair in front of Ling Yue again, saying slowly, "I hope the Crown Princess can always be so confident."

Ling Yue and Su Jingyao were getting closer, and Ling Yue just happened to catch a glimpse of the eye-catching bracelet on Su Jingyao's exposed wrist.

In her previous life, Jun Zechen had given her several pieces of jadeite during this period of time, but after this rebirth, she hadn't received any news for a long time.

She couldn't help herself and went to Anshun to ask, but Anshun just used old materials from previous years to perfunctorily answer her.

Could it be that Jun Zechen gave the jade to Su Jingyao? !

Ling Yue's eyes were instantly filled with jealousy. Why should something that belonged to her be given to Su Jingyao!

Her steps stopped as if nailed down.

"The concubine's bracelet is very beautiful. Can you show it to me?"

Ling Yue stared at the bracelet on Su Jingyao's wrist.

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows, looking indifferent, and took off the bracelet casually, handing it to Ling Yue, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ling Yue took it and looked at it carefully in her hand. Yes, it was made from the batch of jade that Jun Zechen gave her in her previous life.

"Sister, this bracelet is so beautiful."

Ling Yue's voice was a little stiff, and she forced a smile on her face.

"I still have a lot. If you like it, Princess, I'll have someone send one to you."

Su Jingyao spoke very generously, but there was a hint of boasting in her tone.

Ling Yue could only hold the bracelet tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and she tried her best to suppress the hatred surging in her heart.

Why does Su Jingyao always compete with her for everything?

She is the Crown Princess, but Jun Zechen sends all the good things to Shuening Palace. Now even the people in the East Palace are talking about it in private.

Some people say that the Crown Princess has fallen out of favor, so she can only hold on to the pitiful power in her hands.

Ling Yue also knew that many fence-sitters in the Eastern Palace were trying every means to join the concubine, simply because Jun Zechen's favor was almost all poured into Shuining Palace!

Wait until other women enter the Eastern Palace and share Su Jingyao's favor, and see if she can still be so arrogant.

Seeing that Ling Yue's face was very gloomy, Su Jingyao suddenly pretended to look pitiful.

"Crown Princess, this bracelet has a different meaning. It has your Highness' words engraved on it. I like it very much. If you also like this bracelet, I can give you another bracelet in the storeroom."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand, hoping that Ling Yue would give her the bracelet.

Ling Yue felt disgusted when she saw Su Jingyao's pretentious look, and snorted in her heart, thinking, it's just a bracelet, who would care about it.

With a disdainful smile on his face, he said coldly: "Since the concubine likes it so much, keep it well."

"The golden silk bracelet with phoenix pattern on my hand can only be worn by my wife. You will never be able to wear it."

Ling Yue and Su Jingyao were standing very close to each other. Ling Yue was turning the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, his eyes full of contempt.

Then he placed the blue jade bracelet that he had been holding in his left hand into Su Jingyao's hand.

But Su Jingyao's hand suddenly shook, and the bracelet fell to the ground with a "snap". The crisp sound of shattering rang between the two of them, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

Ling Yue's eyes widened instantly, her pupils contracted rapidly, and her heart skipped a beat as she looked at the shattered bracelet on the ground.

It was Su Jingyao herself who didn't hold it firmly!

Before Ling Yue could react, Su Jingyao's expression became dull, as if her soul had been taken away from her, and she slowly squatted down.

The slender little hands trembled as they picked up the broken pieces of the bracelet.

"Crown Princess, you don't like me, and you can ridicule me, but this bracelet was given to me by His Highness, how can you break it!"

Su Jingyao's voice was filled with tears and was miserable.

Suddenly, Su Jingyao cried out, "Ah."

Her hand was cut by the sharp bracelet fragments, and bright red blood quickly gushed out, flowing down her white fingers and dripping onto the ground.

Jun Zechen, who had just arrived, saw her squatting in front of Ling Yue from afar. Her small body was curled up into a ball, and she looked helpless, confused and aggrieved. His heart suddenly tightened when he saw her like that.

"do not move!"

Jun Zechen roared, his voice filled with anxiety and anger.

It's already broken, why are you picking it up? Don't you know you've hurt your hands?

When Ling Yue heard Jun Zechen's voice, her body froze as if struck by lightning, and then she turned around mechanically.

Su Jingyao, she, she, she actually framed!

Ling Yue's mind went blank and he stood there in a daze.

Jun Zechen strode over with big strides. Su Jingyao had been squatting there. She raised her eyes when she heard his voice. Her eyes were full of grievance, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She looked at him pitifully.

"Your Highness, the bracelet is broken."

As she spoke, blood kept oozing from her fingertips, and she looked so pitiful.

Jun Zechen pursed his lips, his thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, his face was terribly gloomy.

He bent down and helped the person up. Su Jingyao had been squatting for too long, and when she stood up suddenly, her legs felt weak and numb. She staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Jun Zechen put his arms around her waist, and she was able to stand firmly.

"Why don't you go get some ointment to stop the bleeding?"

Jun Zechen frowned, turned around and shouted at Anshun.

Ling Yue stood opposite the two of them, staring at Su Jingyao as she pretended to be delicate and leaned in Jun Zechen's arms.

The feeling of resentment filled the air like a surging tide, as if it was going to devour Su Jingyao alive.

"Can the Crown Princess give me an explanation?"

Jun Zechen's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked at Ling Yue coldly. His eyes were like the water in a cold pond, icy and bone-chilling.

"It was the concubine who didn't hold it firmly."

Ling Yue explained hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly with anger.

While Ling Yue was speaking, Su Jingyao also spoke at the same time.

"Your Highness, it was my fault that I didn't hold the bracelet firmly. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess."

Her voice was weak and powerless. As she spoke, she glanced at Ling Yue out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes seemed innocent, but in fact they were filled with pride.

The look in Ling Yue's eyes when he looked at Su Jingyao seemed to be able to spit fire, and he wished he could tear her into pieces on the spot.

Su Jingyao is a completely scheming woman!

"Why is the concubine's bracelet on your hand?"

Jun Zechen's eyes were sharp and he asked in a serious tone.

"I just thought the bracelet on Concubine's hand was pretty, so I took it to have a look. I would not break the bracelet on purpose."

Ling Yue herself felt that such an explanation was weak and feeble, but how could she defend herself at this moment?

It was obviously Su Jingyao who broke the bracelet on purpose, and she pretended to be pitiful in front of Jun Zechen to frame her, but she couldn't defend herself!

Jun Zechen knew very well that Ling Yue was jealous by nature. He originally thought that she had really changed in this life, but he didn't expect that even her disguise was so poor.

"This bracelet is made of jade that was mined over several years with a large amount of manpower in Nanzhou. It is priceless."

Jun Zechen looked indifferent and slowly explained the origin of the bracelet.

When Ling Yue heard this, her face froze instantly, and she was even more certain in her heart that the bracelet on Su Jingyao's hand was made of the jade materials that Jun Zechen gave her in her previous life.

Jun Zechen had been staring at Ling Yue's expression. Seeing that she seemed to have no idea about the origin of the jade and looked as if she had known about it for a long time, his eyes became even darker.

Although he couldn't understand some of Ling Yue's strange behaviors, there was no doubt that Ling Yue had the memories of her previous life.

In this case, Jun Zechen felt that he didn't owe her anything. If she continued to be restless, she shouldn't blame him for being cruel.

"Since the Crown Princess took the bracelet to look at it, you have the obligation to ensure its safety. Now that it is broken, whether it was intentional or unintentional, you are responsible. Today, I will punish you slightly and teach you a lesson."

Jun Zechen's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.

"Confine yourself to your room for three days and apologize to the concubine."

Ling Yue's eyes widened as she looked at Jun Zechen in disbelief. Three days of house arrest would be fine, but he had to apologize to Su Jingyao? !

impossible!

"Your Highness, I did nothing wrong. It was the concubine who deliberately did not hold the bracelet firmly. Why should I apologize?"

Ling Yue's eyes were filled with grief and anger, her emotions almost overflowing, and her voice became sharp and piercing because of excitement.

Seeing that she was still slandering others, Jun Zechen looked at her coldly.

He just stood there straight, his posture as straight as a pine tree, without saying a word, with an endless sense of oppression.

The air around him seemed to freeze because of his silence.

How could Ling Yue withstand the overwhelming pressure from Jun Zechen? She felt difficulty breathing and her legs went weak.

"I'm your wife, how could you do this to me?!"

Ling Yue was still trying to get Jun Zechen to take back the punishment.

"You are the Crown Princess, so you should be generous."

Ling Yue could no longer bear his cold answer, and turned to look at Su Jingyao, suppressing the humiliation in her heart and speaking with difficulty.

"Today, I accidentally broke your bracelet. I hope you will forgive me."

Her voice was dry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

"I know the Crown Princess didn't mean it. I don't care."

A gentle smile appeared on Su Jingyao's lips.

Then, she looked up at Jun Zechen and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, my hand hurts."

She looks so pitiful that people can't help but feel pity for her.

At this time, Anshun had also arrived, holding the hemostatic ointment in both hands and bending over to hand it over.

Jun Zechen took the ointment and applied it on her hands.

When Ling Yue saw Jun Zechen being so gentle to Su Jingyao, her stomach churned and she felt extremely nauseous.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave."

She said this coldly and turned away.

Haha, Jun Zechen in this life changes his heart even faster than in his previous life. Does he like Su Jingyao so much?

Ling Yue thought hatefully in her heart.

What else does Su Jingyao have besides a pretty face?

He is cruel and scheming. It's even true that Su Jingyao doesn't love him at all. She is just like other women who cling to him for power!

Thinking of this, Ling Yue's nails dug deeply into the palm of his hand, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
