Wearing a book, hooking him up

After Jun Zechen stepped out of Xiyan Palace, Miaoyun and Miaoxia entered the bedroom.

Su Jingyao got up from the couch and moved to the dressing table. Miaoyun followed closely and began to wash and put on makeup for her gently and carefully.

After a busy period, the costume was finally completed.

Today she was wearing a rose-scented bra made of gauze that was as thin as a cicada's wing. It was like the morning mist, emitting a faint fragrance.

She wore a soft green silk skirt with scattered flowers around her waist, which made her waist look slender and graceful.

The outer layer is covered with a floor-length white chiffon, which flutters in the wind, making her look as elegant as an immortal.

At this time, the bright morning sunshine shone through the window lattice and fell on Su Jingyao's beautiful face.

She was facing the mirror, examining her face carefully.

Miaoxia, who had just made the bed for her master, walked quietly behind her with a slightly frown on her face.

"Master, you and His Highness did not..." There was a hint of concern and anxiety in her voice.

"Well, His Highness doesn't like me and doesn't want to consummate the marriage with me."

Su Jingyao's voice remained calm, as if this incident had no effect on her.

Her gaze remained on herself in the mirror, without the slightest fluctuation.

Miaoxia looked at Su Jingyao with heartache. She grew up with the young lady and came to the Eastern Palace with the young lady.

When the young lady was in the Shangshu Mansion, she was the pampered young lady. Now that she has come to the Eastern Palace, she is treated so coldly by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"How could His Highness treat you like this? He..."

Before Miaoxia could finish her words, Su Jingyao slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and interrupted her in a firm tone.

"Be careful with your words. This is the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the master of the East Palace. We are not allowed to make arbitrary judgments on his actions. Do you understand?"

"Yes, master." Miaoxia replied with her head down.

"Let's go and pay our respects to the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao took graceful steps and slowly walked out of Xiyan Palace.

Outside the palace, the sky is as clear as jade and the clouds are as light as cotton.

There was always a sweet smile on her pretty face. She would stop from time to time, slightly raise her head, and happily watch the flowers blooming along the way.

She is indeed an innocent girl who knows nothing about the world.

It was the first time for the palace maids and eunuchs of the Eastern Palace to see Concubine Su. They did not expect that she was so charming and beautiful, with an angelic appearance.

Moreover, there was always a friendly smile on his face, and he looked innocent, kind and approachable.

However, everyone couldn't help but express regret. Ever since the Crown Princess entered the Eastern Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has doted on her alone and had a deep affection for her.

Concubine Su has now entered the Eastern Palace, and she will probably be neglected and lonely in the future.

But they quietly raised their heads and observed Concubine Su, and they also had doubts in their hearts: Could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really remain indifferent to such a beautiful woman?

When Su Jingyao was in the Shangshu Mansion, she was accustomed to the maids staring at her whenever she stepped out of the room.

Today, as she walked along the corridor of the East Palace, many palace maids and eunuchs, whether they were cleaning or watering the flowers, looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, but she did not care much and was used to it.

When they arrived at the Crown Princess's palace, Su Jingyao looked up and saw three large characters "Qiluan Palace" written in a flamboyant style.

Su Jingyao smiled. The name of the Crown Princess’ palace was quite good. “Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree” and “The Phoenix and the Luan Sing in Harmony” both had beautiful meanings.

Then, she walked gracefully into the hall, and as she walked slowly, she admired the exquisite decorations along the way.

Outside the Qiluan Hall, pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, and the rockery and pools complement each other.

In the water pavilion, the clear water reflects the blue sky and white clouds. The lotus flowers in the pond are graceful and beautiful, with clusters of flowers as dazzling as gorgeous clouds.

The entire building is gorgeous and elegant, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, demonstrating dignity and elegance.

After entering the hall, the Crown Princess was already sitting in the first seat with a dignified manner, her eyes calm and her face expressionless.

Ling Yue was used to a free and unrestrained life in the frontier. She entered the palace only because she wanted to be with the prince for the rest of her life. She also believed the prince's promise to her.

But she didn't expect that he would have a concubine in just two years. However, she also knew that it was difficult to disobey the imperial edict.

Ling Yue's free and open-minded heart was filled with a lot of melancholy.

"I pay my respects to my sister, the Crown Princess." Su Jingyao's voice was clear and pleasant, as gentle and melodious as a nightingale, which made people feel happy.

"Get up."

"Thank you, sister." There was a hint of respect in Su Jingyao's voice.

After she stood up, Ling Yue looked at her face carefully and was distracted for a moment.

Concubine Su is so stunningly beautiful!

Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, and her slightly curled eyelashes tremble gently like butterfly wings. What makes people fall in love with her most is her eyes, which are as clear as morning dew, with distinct black and white, and so pure that it seems without a trace of impurities.

Seeing Su Jingyao's beauty, Ling Yue's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible wariness.

Is it true that Aze won’t fall in love with Concubine Su?

She felt a little unsure about herself and had doubts about her husband.

No, Aze is not a man who cares about appearance. If Aze liked beautiful women, he would have had many wives and concubines in the East Palace by now. How could he have only two palace maids without any status?

She should trust Aze.

Determination flashed in Ling Yue's eyes. She knew clearly how much pressure Aze had to endure in order to enthrone her as the Crown Princess.

She also knew clearly how much pressure Aze had endured from her mother and court officials in the past two years because she had not become pregnant.

The palace maid beside her gently brought the tea to Su Jingyao. Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on the teacup, and then she stretched out her slender hand and gently picked up the tea from the palace maid's tray.

Her movements were graceful and smooth, like flowing clouds and running water.

When he stood up, he leaned forward slightly, as naturally as a breeze, then took a few steps forward, bowed slightly, and handed the tea respectfully.

This series of actions fully demonstrates the dignity and grace of the noble lady.

Ling Yue grew up outside the Great Wall. She only dealt with the palace's red tape out of courtesy, but in her heart she was quite annoyed by these rules.

However, she had lived in the Eastern Palace for two years, and the Queen did not like her as the daughter of a military general. In order to please the Queen, she had to let the maids teach her etiquette.

I originally thought that her manners were comparable to the elegance and grace of the young ladies from the noble families in the capital. Although her manners were not as dignified as the empress and the ladies in the other palaces, they could still be considered graceful.

But today, after seeing Su Jingyao, a model of a noble lady from a noble family in the capital, I realized that under strict etiquette, a woman can not only be elegant and graceful, but also be graceful and charming.

It turns out that this is the demeanor of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.

Ling Yue took the tea, lowered her eyelashes slightly, took a sip, and said slowly: "Concubine Su, please sit down."

"Thank you sister."

The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth slightly raised, and the innocent smile on her still young face was like a flower blooming in spring, fresh and natural, revealing a childlike innocence.

She raised her head and saw the face of the heroine of the novel so closely for the first time.

Although Ling Yue's appearance is not as exquisite as hers, she also has a unique charm.

Her skin is delicate with a faint luster, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, slightly raised, with a touch of boldness and heroism, her eyes are as bright as stars, sparkling, and seem to be shining as they move, and her nose is straight and beautiful, adding a three-dimensional sense to her face.

The whole person is like a horse galloping freely in the frontier, exuding a unique charm and a bit of stubbornness and unruliness.

Perhaps, it was her unique and free and easy temperament that attracted Jun Zechen, who had lived in the palace for many years.

The free girl outside the Great Wall did have a fatal attraction to the young Jun Zechen.

After all, Jun Zechen grew up in the imperial palace and has always hated women with deep scheming minds.

During the year when Ling Yue went out to fight in the war, she passed Jun Zecheng's observation and test. In his heart, he had already determined that Ling Yue was a person with a pure mind.

It was because of this that Ling Yue entered his heart.

Su Jingyao looked at Ling Yue openly, but her eyes were pure and gave people a sense of kindness.

She didn't look at it for long, and then slowly sat down on the chair next to her.

When Su Jingyao sat down slowly, a barely perceptible hesitation flashed between her brows and her expression seemed a little unnatural, as if she had some unspeakable words in her heart that she was hesitant to speak.

Ling Yue took in all of this and asked softly, "Does Concubine Su have anything to say?"

"I do have some things that I want to talk to you about, but... I don't know if it's convenient..."

Su Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of hesitation.

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes wandering around the ground, sometimes biting her lower lip, sometimes frowning slightly.

Ling Yue was a little confused. It was only the first time she and Su Jingyao met. Could they have anything to talk about privately?

Although she didn't understand, she still waved her hand and said, "All of you leave."

Su Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief. If she were in front of the palace maids, she really couldn't say it.

Her hands stirred unconsciously, her fingers trembling slightly, clearly revealing her inner hesitation.

When she raised her head again, her eyes met Ling Yue's.

Su Jingyao bit her lower lip lightly, mustered up her courage, and spoke in a light and trembling voice.

"Sister, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed at Xiyan Palace yesterday, he did not do anything to me."

After she finished speaking, a blush quickly appeared on her charming face, like a ripe cherry, and the blush gradually spread to the tips of her ears.

At this moment, her head was slightly lowered, full of shyness.

Ling Yue showed surprise on her face.

The prince had sent someone to inform her of this yesterday, but she never expected that Su Jingyao would tell her the truth in person.

"Why are you telling this to me?"

There was a complex light in Ling Yue's eyes. She tilted her head slightly and her gaze fell on Su Jingyao.

Such words were difficult for even a bold and unrestrained daughter of a military commander like her to bring up, so how could Su Jingyao, a lady from an aristocratic family, be willing to bring them up on her own initiative?

After all, what woman would be willing to admit that she is not loved by her husband?

"I know that my sister and Your Highness have a love that is stronger than gold, and they are a perfect match made in heaven. I am forced to leave because of the emperor's order. I have no choice but to marry into the East Palace."

Su Jingyao's voice became softer, yet unusually firm.

"Yesterday, I asked Your Highness to stay at Xiyan Palace just to preserve the reputation of the Su family. I also promised Your Highness that I would personally clear up this misunderstanding with my sister. I really don't want there to be any grudge between my sister and Your Highness because of me."

Su Jingyao's watery eyes were full of sincerity and honesty, and the light in them was pure and hot, making it hard to resist.

Ling Yue stared at Su Jingyao with complex emotions in her eyes.

Because of Su Jingyao's words, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Her brows furrowed slightly and her lips pursed.

She knew very well that it was because of her infertility that her mother asked her father to decree the marriage between Su Jingyao and Aze.

Thinking back to her narrow-minded thinking just now, she looked ashamed and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Originally, as Su Jingyao was the eldest daughter of the Su family, she could have married the person of her dreams and lived a happy life, but now she can only live alone in the East Palace for the rest of her life.
