Wearing a book, hooking him up

Su Jingyao looked at Ling Yue's receding back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes full of undisguised sarcasm.

No matter whether Ling Yue was reborn or not, as long as he blocked her way, she would never show mercy and let him go.

What's more, Ling Yue is full of malice towards Su Jingyao in this life. Although Ling Yue may not have taken any substantial action yet, in Su Jingyao's view, he is just a poisonous snake gathering strength, and sooner or later, he will show his sharp teeth to her.

Su Jingyao has never been someone who would passively take a beating. As long as the control over her life is within her ability, she will definitely hold it tightly in her hands.

She would never allow Ling Yue to have the chance to bully her and boss her around.

Su Jingyao turned her head and her eyes fell on Jun Zechen who was carefully applying medicine to her.

Although this old man's heart was as hard as iron, at least he was not partial to Ling Yue.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao gave Miaoyun a look that was full of approval without leaving any trace.

You have done a good job this time, and you will be rewarded handsomely when you return.

Miaoyun received the look from her master and was secretly proud of herself. Just when her master gave her the look, Miaoyun cleverly and quietly went to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Fortunately, we arrived just in time.

After Jun Zechen applied the ointment on her, he put his arm around her waist and brought her back to Yude Hall.

"You are so arrogant in front of me, aren't you? Why are you being bullied by the Crown Princess?"

"You are still foolishly begging for mercy from the Crown Princess. Do you think the Crown Princess will forgive you just because of your plea?"

"I wasn't bullied, but it's a pity that the bracelet His Highness gave me was given to me."

At this time, Su Jingyao was sitting side by side with Jun Zechen on the couch, with her head slightly lowered, looking a little aggrieved.

Speaking of bracelets, Jun Zechen's face became even gloomier.

"It's just a broken bracelet. Is it worth it for you to pick it up? You even hurt your hand."

His tone was full of blame.

"Have you never seen anything good? You are useless."

Jun Zechen felt extremely unhappy whenever she thought about how she had just squatted on the ground to pick up the bracelet fragments and Ling Yue had looked down at her with contempt.

Su Jingyao frowned, but secretly complained in her heart.

Why does the old man act so fatherly? He has been lecturing her since returning to Yude Hall.

She pursed her lips, tightly closed them, and stopped talking. She just glanced at Jun Zechen with a slightly dissatisfied look.

Seeing Jun Zechen talking more and more like a string of cannonballs, Su Jingyao lowered her head. She seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact her thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

Jun Zechen doesn't care at all who will be given the position of queen. For a man as powerful as Jun Zechen, even if he may have some preference for her in his heart, he may not necessarily take the initiative to give her the position of queen.

After all, Jun Zechen has always been self-disciplined and polite. As long as Ling Yue has not made a big mistake, what reason does Jun Zechen have to abandon Ling Yue and support her?

Unless... Jun Zechen loves her very much, or Su Jingyao tries hard to fight for her.

The fight for her and Ling Yue is like fire and water, forcing Jun Zechen to make a choice between the two of them...

But doing so is extremely dangerous, and she cannot guarantee whether Jun Zechen likes this kind of personality.

Would it seem too overbearing?

Jun Zechen was talking, but he saw that no one was talking.

Why did you suddenly become so obedient?

He glanced at her doubtfully, only to find that she was looking down in a daze, as if she wasn't listening to what he was saying at all!

Jun Zechen's eyes gradually darkened, like thick ink. He bent his fingertips and knocked on the table with his knuckles, making a series of crisp sounds.

Su Jingyao suddenly came to her senses, raised her head blankly, and looked at him stupidly.

"Your Highness is right."

Su Jingyao flattered him casually and heartlessly. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even pay attention to what he was talking about.

It's his fault for nagging her all the time. Who would like to hear such words?

Jun Zechen was so angry at her perfunctory attitude that he laughed and said in a calm voice, "Go back to your Shui Ning Palace."

Seeing that he seemed angry, Su Jingyao quickly took his arm and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, my hand was injured today, and the Crown Princess scolded me, and my bracelet is gone."

Seeing her like this, Jun Zechen knew that she wanted something, "Didn't I ask her to apologize to you?"

Asking Ling Yue to apologize to her is already an insult to Ling Yue.

"My bracelet is gone. Your Highness, please give me another one."

"I've given you all the best jade in my warehouse to make jewelry. I can't make you a blue jade bracelet like yours."

Jun Zechen was right when he said that this bracelet was priceless. Scarcity makes things valuable.

"I don't want the jade bracelet anymore. Today, the Crown Princess stopped me and said that no matter how good my bracelet is, it can't compare to the golden silk bracelet with phoenix pattern on her hand. I want it too."

Su Jingyao pouted and said with a look of grievance.

Jun Zechen frowned and looked sideways at her, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Does she really not know or is she pretending not to know?

Ling Yue's bracelet was inlaid with royal decorations and patterns and was carefully crafted by the Imperial Household Department. It might not be that rare, but it was considered exclusive to the royal wife.

"Do you know how to write the word '僭越'?"

Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic.

He punished Ling Yue when she made a mistake, but that didn't mean Su Jingyao could go so far as to blatantly covet his wife's things.

"It's just a bracelet. It's not an act of usurpation if Your Highness gives it to me."

Su Jingyao frowned and looked at him eagerly.

Jun Zechen looked at her determined look, was it him who made her so arrogant?

He had already called her out for being overstepping her bounds, yet she was still clinging to him.

"Go back to Shuining Palace." Jun Zechen said coldly again.

He didn't want to see her now.

Of course Su Jingyao knew that she was overstepping her authority and that she was only stealing a bracelet, which was only a prelude to her blatantly asking him for the position of queen later on.

Besides, if she doesn't overstep her bounds, what kind of favorite concubine is she? In his heart? Ha, Su Jingyao only wants the benefits that can be seen in reality.

But she didn't continue to pester Jun Zechen for it. There was no need to be impatient. She would get it eventually.

-

After failing to get the bracelet that day, Jun Zechen returned to his previous coldness and did not step into the backyard for ten days or half a month.

Su Jingyao was able to keep her composure and did not take the initiative to look for him. She lived a leisurely and comfortable life every day. She would either carefully take care of her skin and beautify her face, or leisurely appreciate the flowers and play with the birds. She was so free and easy.

However, Jun Zechen in the Yude Hall had a look of annoyance on his face these days.

It’s not like there were times in the past when I didn’t have anything to do with women for long periods of time. Why is it that now I feel distracted and unable to calm down just by dealing with government affairs?

"Anshun, what does the concubine do every day?"

"The concubine has asked the flower room to send a lot of flowers to Shuening Palace these days, and they are carefully taken care of every day." Anshun replied respectfully.

Jun Zechen lowered the expression in his eyes when he heard that. She seemed quite relaxed and at ease.

The last time I hadn't been to Shuening Palace for a long time, she still knew to come to Yude Palace to seek favor, but this time there was no news at all. Why, is she still thinking about Ling Yue's bracelet?

At night, Jun Zechen thought about it and finally went to Shuening Palace.

It is summer now and the weather is very hot. Su Jingyao is wearing very cool clothes and lying on her side on the bed, reading a biography to pass the time.

There was an ice basin next to the bed, which brought a slight coolness but not too much heat.

"Where is your master?" Jun Zechen asked in a low voice while standing outside the hall.

Miaoyun, Miaoxia and the others were outside the bedroom. When they saw the Crown Prince coming, they hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, the master is lying in the bedroom."

Jun Zechen nodded slightly, then strode in.

Her bedroom exuded bursts of subtle fragrance, and the beautiful curtains were also carefully hung by Su Jingyao herself. Every time Jun Zechen walked into her bedroom, he felt itchy. This woman's ways of seducing people were really varied and endless.

Jun Zechen deliberately walked lightly to the bedside and could vaguely see the graceful figure of a woman behind the bed curtains.

She lay with her back to him, with a book in front of her, flipping through it from time to time.

Jun Zechen coughed lightly, trying to get her attention.

When Su Jingyao heard the sound, she turned around in surprise and lifted the bed curtain with quick movements.

"Your Highness?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice.

Jun Zechen looked at the woman in front of him. She was only wearing a bellyband, with her slender arms and slender waist all exposed. His expression suddenly froze.

He shouted angrily: "How can you dress like this?"

Su Jingyao was scolded by him again, and her anger was still not over.

She instantly let go of her hand that was trying to open the bed curtain, and the curtain fell down again, blocking out the beautiful spring scene.

"Yes, I am not dressed properly. Your Highness, please stop looking at me. I need to rest now."

Her tone was full of anger and stubbornness.

Jun Zechen just spoke too quickly, and now his face turned ugly when she mocked him.

"I haven't seen my concubine for more than ten days. Has she lost her manners? Help me change my clothes."

Su Jingyao got off the bed, casually draped a gauze over her body, walked up to him with a cold face, and began to take off his clothes awkwardly.

After taking off his clothes, he raised a professional fake smile and said sarcastically: "Your Highness, if you have any other requests, please feel free to tell me."

Jun Zechen held his breath in his throat, unable to breathe it out or up, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He shouldn't have come here to make me angry today.

Then he ignored her sarcastic tone and went to bed.

Su Jingyao also got on the bed and lay down with her back to him.

He can't even give her a bracelet, and he still wants her to serve him?

Jun Zechen looked at her with amusement as she had her back to him, and with a big hand he grabbed her, pressing her back against his chest.

Then a deep voice sounded from behind her ear.

"You are so arrogant and self-indulgent. Who gave you the courage?"
