Wearing a book, hooking him up

The thirteenth year of Chongwu.

It has been a year since Su Jingyao ascended to the imperial court.

During this year, she was like a bright star, shining brightly in the court.

His eyes were determined, and every word and proposal he made was powerful.

Faced with those ministers who initially disobeyed her, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and gradually conquered them with her unique insights and outstanding strength.

She is not a weak canary who relies on Jun Zechen, but a queen who can stand on her own even without Jun Zechen's protection.

Jun Yihuan has gradually begun to get involved in court affairs over the years.

Thanks to his memories from his previous life, he was naturally adept at handling state affairs.

He was both familiar and unfamiliar with his father and mother in this life, but what surprised him was that his father in this life actually elevated his mother to the position of Empress!

The two of them governed together and accepted worship from officials and people.

Jun Yihuan's heart was filled with waves, and he felt more and more that perhaps he was not reborn in the world he was familiar with in this life, but was reincarnated into another strange world where there was also a father and a mother.

The father in this world is more mature and stable, like a towering mountain, worthy of admiration.

I heard from Miaoyun that my mother in this life was arrogant and domineering when she first entered the Eastern Palace.

He had never seen such a mother in his previous life.

Ever since he could remember, his mother had always been very gentle and dignified, like a blooming lily, exuding an elegant aura.

But no matter which life she lived, the Queen Mother lived freely and happily without suffering any grievances.

-

Today is the birthday party.

Su Jingyao carefully organized a grand birthday banquet for Jun Zechen.

Throughout the banquet, the concubines were harmonious, the ministers were excited, and they toasted each other, clinked glasses, and sang and danced.

For this banquet, Su Jingyao prepared ten large-scale programs, meaning perfection.

Some of the programs were selected from the public. The performers performed with simple enthusiasm, excited smiles on their faces, but also respect and fear for the royal family.

Performing in the palace would make them famous throughout the dynasty!

Some of them were programs that the Jiaofangsi had trained for several months. The dancers were light and graceful, like dancing butterflies, and every movement was extremely graceful.

The musicians played their instruments with full concentration; the melodious tunes echoed in the air, intoxicating people.

Each show is unique and eye-catching.

After the banquet, Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao returned to the Qianqing Palace hand in hand.

The flickering warm candlelight made the entire palace look like a dream.

The two of them slowly stepped into the bathtub, and the steaming mist spread out like a layer of gauze.

Jun Zechen hugged the woman in his arms, his fingertips sliding across her silky skin. The delicate touch made his heart tremble slightly.

He lowered his head to her neck and greedily sniffed the subtle fragrance emanating from her. This familiar and alluring smell seemed to be the pull of fate, allowing Jun Zechen to hold on to her tightly in this life and not miss her.

The two of them soaked in the water, and after a while, Jun Zechen's hands began to become restless.

The fingers moved gently, with endless desire.

Su Jingyao's delicate body trembled slightly, and she quickly reached out to hold down his rebellious hand.

She whispered, "No, I have another gift for my husband tonight."

If she messed around with Jun Zechen at this time, she would not be able to give away the gift she had carefully prepared tonight.

Jun Zechen pretended not to hear anything. He rested his head lightly on Su Jingyao's shoulder, closed his eyes, and gently touched her skin with his warm lips. The feather-soft kiss made Su Jingyao's heart skip a beat.

"Jiaojiao is my best gift." His voice was hoarse, and he tried to seduce her deliberately.

Su Jingyao shook her head slightly and said seriously, "I'm serious. I've been preparing this gift for a long time. Do you really not want it, my husband?"

Jun Zechen stopped kissing and opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

In the past few years, on his birthday, although the birthday gifts she gave him every year were very thoughtful and innovative, Jun Zechen liked them very much, but he never mentioned that she had prepared for a long time.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Two quarters of an hour later, more than a dozen palace maids came in one after another and served the emperor and empress.

Su Jingyao put on a long robe with a soft texture. This was a women's robe specially made by the Fashion Bureau for her convenience.

It was a long-sleeved, loose-fitting style that only required a belt to be tied around the waist, as she really felt that wearing a skirt was too troublesome.

Su Jingyao stretched out her arms slightly and let the palace maids tidy up her clothes, with laziness and casualness revealed in her eyes.

The two came out of the bath, and Su Jingyao walked to the couch and sat down.

She lifted her legs, crossed them and placed them on the couch, one hand naturally supporting the soft pillow, her whole body appearing lazy.

The black hair was still a little wet, and a few strands of hair fell casually beside her cheeks, adding a bit of charm.

"Husband, sit down."

Jun Zechen walked over and sat down opposite her as he was told.

"I want to play a game with my husband. Only if he guesses correctly can he receive a gift."

Su Jingyao supported her face with one hand and tilted her head slightly. Her face, which had just been bathed, was as delicate as porcelain under the candlelight, with a soft luster.

Her eyes were bright and lively, and she looked at him with a sweet smile.

Jun Zechen looked at her like this and shook his head helplessly.

"Jiaojiao, I'm afraid this game is not easy to win."

"Well, Your Majesty guessed it right, but there is no reward." Su Jingyao blinked mischievously.

"Today's game is called Shefu, and the rules of the game are..."

Su Jingyao opened her mouth slowly and explained the rules of the game carefully. This game is actually a super difficult mode of guessing puzzles. The rules of the game are exactly the same as the game of shooting covers in Dream of Red Mansions.

"Husband, do you understand?"

Jun Zechen frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He clearly understood the rule, but could he really guess it?

Su Jingyao smiled even more happily when she saw that he was in trouble.

Jun Zechen doesn't often get into trouble.

"Don't worry, my husband. The characters I'm going to use are all common things in the palace. They won't be difficult."

Jun Zechen chuckled.

"Well, this is the first time I play such a guessing game, let's give it a try."

Su Jingyao immediately raised her eyes, looked around, and started asking a question.

"My riddle is 'water', please guess it, my husband."

The rule of this game is that the person who asks the question has an answer in mind. For example, in the case of Su Jingyao, the answer in her mind is "jade", but she says "water". These two words are taken from the poem "jade contains stone and the mountain shines, water contains pearls and the river is charming."

If the person guesses the answer, "玉", then he has to say a word from another poem that is related to "玉".

Jun Zechen's expression was full of thought.

His eyes slowly scanned the hall, because the answer was inside the hall, which indeed reduced the complexity of the game to a certain extent. Otherwise, if he let his thoughts run wild, then this game would be extremely difficult.

Unless you really have a tacit understanding, it will be difficult to proceed.

His eyes fell on the vase filled with water. There were many kinds of vases in the hall, including porcelain, jade, and colored glaze.

Maybe jade?

Jun Zechen speculated secretly in his heart, but he was not sure.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said the answer: "Pearl."

Jade is in the mountains and the grass and trees are moist; pearls grow in the abyss but the cliffs are not withered.

He used the word "pearl" to associate with "jade". If her answer was "jade", then he won.

But the reason why Jun Zechen said this game is difficult is that both parties need to have enough tacit understanding and sufficient knowledge and culture.

If the person who asked the question did not know the poem he was referring to, he might guess correctly but get a negative answer from the person who asked the question.

But it is also possible that the two people may get a positive answer even though what they said are clearly inconsistent.

Su Jingyao widened her eyes, her look revealing surprise.

She looked at Jun Zechen in disbelief. Could it be that he not only guessed it, but was also able to guess the poem she was thinking of?

After all, her poem also contains the word "pearl".

However, the rule of the game is that even if you guess the answer correctly, you cannot tell the answer. Instead, you must understand each other and share the answer. If you think the answer is correct, you can drink a glass together.

At this time, Su Jingyao raised her jade hand and picked up the wine cup that had been prepared long ago.

Jun Zechen smiled knowingly when he saw her pick up the wine glass.

The two men looked at each other and smiled, their smiles full of warmth and tacit understanding. Then, they raised their glasses together and drank the strong liquor in one gulp.

The wine brought a burning sensation into their throats, but it seemed to bring their hearts closer.

After playing it once, Jun Zechen felt it was novel and realized the unique fun of this game.

Whether you guess correctly or not is actually not that important. What really makes people feel interesting is the wonderful feeling of trying to figure out each other's thoughts while playing the game.

"How about I ask a question, Jiaojiao, and let me guess it?"

"Okay." Su Jingyao responded happily.

Her eyes were sparkling and she was eager to try.

"cup."

Jun Zechen uttered a word.

Su Jingyao frowned slightly.

"Husband, this is too simple." There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

They had just raised their glasses to drink, and there were many poems and verses related to wine, so she naturally easily thought of the answer.

It was the first time that Jun Zechen was teased for asking a simple question. He saw Su Jingyao's eyes fall on the wine cup, and he knew in his heart that she must have guessed it right.

His answer was indeed wine.

Never mind, change another one.

This woman is really smart.

"Jiaojiao, the question I'm asking now is not simple. The riddle is 'pen'."

Jun Zechen's eyes turned slightly, and he happened to see the jade pendants hanging on the clothes hanger, and an idea came to his mind.

The answer to his riddle is the word "佩".

"One throw of the scholar's pen, three wears of the envoy's talisman." This is not easy to guess.

Jun Zechen raised the corner of his mouth in an arc that seemed like a smile, and stared at her, watching her lower her eyes in thought.

Su Jingyao thought quickly about various poems in her mind. Although there were many poems with the word "pen", many of them could be ruled out because they had to be linked to things in the palace.

The pearls in “the pen with pearls that can’t be sold anywhere”?

Or is it the flower that "The spring breeze floats under the pen, and the light of flowers and mountain shadows reflect the clear stream."?

Su Jingyao's gaze swept across the hall and finally landed on the orchid flowers placed not far away.

Before, Jun Zechen felt that the scent of the orchid was most similar to her body, so the Qianqing Palace often displayed orchids.

She thought for a long time, and finally said, "Xiang."

As the saying goes, "The secluded flowers are so shy of spring, and who is wearing such a beautiful piece of jewelry that is full of fragrance?" If the answer to the riddle is really the word "flower", then you win.

Jun Zechen, who was originally enjoying the show, saw her suddenly understand and firmly say the word "fragrance". At this moment, as the person who was judging the question, he was a little troubled.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and then hesitantly raised his glass.

Su Jingyao's face brightened instantly.

She also raised her glass, and leaned forward to gently touch Jun Zechen's glass, making a crisp sound.

You really guessed it right!

"The orchid is so beautiful, it is worn as a pendant in the world. I want to sew it into a pendant." It's not that the word "peg" was not included in the sentence. The two of them are so in tune with each other that they can guess what he meant by such an obscure expression.

Jun Zechen thought to himself.
