Wearing a book, hooking him up

At the hour of Xu, after finishing their meal, the two slowly walked into the bedroom.

"Your Highness, it's still early now, why don't we play a game of chess?" Su Jingyao asked softly with a smile on her face.

Jun Zechen nodded slightly. He seldom played chess now. Ever since he won the game against his father a year ago, he believed that no one in the palace could match him.

But it is still early today, and playing chess is a good way to pass the time.

The two of them sat down gently on either side of the couch. Miaoyun carefully brought up her master's beloved Hetian jade Go set and gently placed it on the table in the middle.

Su Jingyao smiled and waved her hand, and Miaoyun and the other palace maids in the hall tiptoed out of the hall.

At this moment, only Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen were left in the bedroom.

Jun Zechen stretched out his hand and gently picked up a black piece, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was a person obsessed with chess, so he could naturally tell at a glance that the black piece was top-grade Hetian black jade.

He slowly picked up another white piece, and it was indeed top-grade mutton-fat white jade.

"Where did you get this Go?" Jun Zechen raised his head, stared at Su Jingyao, and asked softly.

"My elder brother knew that I loved Go, so he gave it to me when I was fifteen years old and had my coming-of-age ceremony."

"These black pieces are made of 181 pieces of Hetian black jade, and the white pieces are made of 180 pieces of mutton-fat white jade. Each one is delicate and smooth to the touch, without any flaw. I have always regarded them as treasures." Su Jingyao smiled slightly, her eyes full of joy.

"Your brother really loves you. Hetian jade is scarce in the country. To polish such a perfect chess piece, I am afraid it would take dozens of kilograms of Hetian jade. I also have a set of Hetian jade Go in my private library, but it is slightly inferior to yours."

As Jun Zechen spoke, he unconsciously rubbed the chess piece in his hand.

"If Your Highness likes it, I would like to give this chess piece to Your Highness." Su Jingyao said softly.

"This is your brother's birthday gift to you. How could I take away someone else's favorite? I just said it casually."

"Let's start playing chess."

Su Jingyao nodded slightly.

"I like white pieces, Your Highness, how about playing black pieces?"

Su Jingyao's eyes moved, she looked at Jun Zechen with a smile and asked softly.

"Okay." Jun Zechen smiled slightly and calmly took out the black piece from the chess box.

Both of them were ready. The black piece fell first, and Su Jingyao's white piece followed immediately.

At first, both of them made moves quite gently, especially Jun Zechen.

After all, his usual chess style tends to be offensive, but he was worried that Su Jingyao's chess skills might be mediocre. If he hastily ended the game in a quarter of an hour, how could he spend his free time well?

So at the beginning of the game, Jun Zechen made his moves casually and gently. However, as more and more pieces were placed on the board, he became more serious, his expression became more solemn, and his style of play gradually turned to fierce attack.

Su Jingyao was keenly aware of his changes.

Because of playing chess, she was completely relaxed, and her voice unconsciously took on a hint of coquettishness.

"Your Highness plays the game of flying chess so skillfully that I am almost unable to avoid it."

Su Jingyao pouted her lips, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her beautiful eyes.

In Go, "flying pieces" means attacking, but just now you were clearly engaging in a clever back-and-forth exchange of moves.

"I never expected that your chess skills are so superb."

Jun Zechen stared at the chessboard. Su Jingyao's white pieces were showing an attitude of tolerance. If he didn't take the initiative to attack, the white pieces would unknowingly destroy every inch of his territory.

"Then I have no choice but to jump now, huh." Su Jingyao said coquettishly, and as she spoke, she cleverly jumped the white piece out of the encirclement of the black pieces, which means "escaping".

Jun Zechen is always a man of few words when playing chess, but whenever Su Jingyao looks embarrassed by his attack, she will unconsciously become coquettish and act like a spoiled child.

"Your Highness, my concubine's white son is about to have no home."

Seeing that Heizi was about to launch another attack, Su Jingyao couldn't help but try to distract Jun Zechen's attention by acting coquettishly.

Jun Zechen felt a tingling sensation in his heart as he listened to her coquettish words, and the intensity of his attack unconsciously weakened.

The two continued to play chess back and forth. Although Su Jingyao showed signs of anger and joy on the surface, she was staring at the chessboard, with clear thoughts and decisive moves.

Gradually, the smile on Su Jingyao's lips became deeper and deeper, and she looked at her layout with satisfaction.

She's going to win.

His eyes were full of cunning like a little fox.

Jun Zechen frowned slightly, lowered his head and stared at the black pieces on the chessboard, then looked up at the woman with a sweet smile.

The woman tilted her head playfully and smiled at him even more seductively.

Jun Zechen sighed softly: "She is quite a smart woman."

He never expected that he would lose.

Jun Zechen stared at the chessboard again, and became more and more impressed with the young woman's chess skills.

Each of her moves is as smooth as flowing water, her style is elegant and agile, her chess is exquisite and profound, her chess moves are crisscrossed, and her chess skills are superb.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment in his eyes when he looked at her.

Su Jingyao became modest instead: "I am not a chess player who follows the rules. If I hadn't kept disturbing Your Highness, I would have had a hard time winning this game. Your Highness's chess skills are inferior to mine."

"Except for the time I lost to my father, I have never lost to anyone else. I underestimated my opponent today. I will definitely win next time."

Jun Zechen was actually aroused by this little girl's competitive spirit.

"Yes, Your Highness, as long as you don't mind me talking too much when I play chess."

Jun Zechen actually didn't like noisy conversations while playing chess, but today the young lady's words were humorous and her voice was gentle and pleasant, so he didn't feel disgusted at all, and even felt quite comfortable during the game.

"That's fine. That's fine."

Before they knew it, the two had been playing chess for an hour.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time to go to bed."

Jun Zechen nodded slightly.

Su Jingyao's delicate face was slightly flushed, like a pink peach, sweet and attractive.

Jun Zechen didn't know why she suddenly blushed, so he could only wait for her to speak.

Su Jingyao was in a state of confusion. After struggling for a while, she finally mustered up her courage and said softly, "Your Highness, let me undress you."

Jun Zechen frowned slightly when he heard this, and almost subconsciously refused: "I will do it myself."

Su Jingyao's face instantly revealed a deep sense of loss, and a hint of hurt flickered in her beautiful eyes.

She whispered softly, "I have overstepped the bounds. I know that Your Highness despises me. After asking today, I will not ask again. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Jun Zechen stared at her pitiful and injured appearance, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity in his heart.

His lips parted slightly, "That's not what I meant."

He himself couldn't explain why this happened. Perhaps he had long been accustomed to Ling Yue being around him, and he would always subconsciously reject other women.

However, looking at the woman's lowered head in front of him, he felt a little distressed.

He seemed to be rejecting her all the time. Was he being too cruel to her?

"Your Highness, there is no need to comfort me. I understand. If Your Highness does not need my service, I will..."

"Didn't I say I don't need your service? How can a concubine be so unruly?"

Jun Zechen's gaze fell on the woman with her head lowered, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Su Jingyao raised her head in astonishment, blinked her big watery eyes, and showed a confused look, obviously not understanding his intention.

Then, Jun Zechen closed his eyes and slowly opened his arms.

When Su Jingyao saw this, she knew that the man accepted her approach, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She took a step forward and almost leaned into Jun Zechen's arms. Her small hands gently fell on his waist and began to untie his belt, then hung it on the exquisite yellow flower, li grass and dragon pattern hanger beside the bed.

After finishing all this, she returned to Jun Zechen again. Her small hand was as light as a feather. It gently fell on Jun Zechen's chest, slid slowly along his chest to his shoulders, and gently took off his outer robe.

When Jun Zechen felt the woman's touch through his underwear, his body involuntarily became a little stiff.

He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was trying to restrain something, and never opened them.

Until the woman took off all his clothes, leaving only his underwear.

After Su Jingyao hung up her clothes neatly, she stood lightly in front of the man.

Jun Zechen is tall, and the woman has already gently taken off the outer veil.

Although the tube top-style skirt is of ordinary style, perhaps because of the woman's graceful curves that are particularly attractive, Jun Zechen stared at her from top to bottom, with a barely perceptible fluctuation in his eyes.

As if he was deeply attracted, yet a little uncomfortable, his eyes flickered unconsciously, sometimes wandering, sometimes fixed.

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly, and gently hooked one of the man's fingers with her onion-smooth jade fingers.

Jun Zechen's body trembled instinctively and he wanted to shake her off, but the woman's heartbreaking look of loss and hurt just now flashed through his mind, and he forcibly suppressed the urge.

She is the daughter of a wealthy family who has been pampered and has never suffered any injustice. Now that I always reject her again and again, will she cry secretly when no one is around?

When Su Jingyao saw that he did not refuse, a barely perceptible joy flashed across her face, and a hint of shyness moved in her eyes.

She took light steps, took his hand, and slowly led him to her dressing table.

"Your Highness, please sit down for a while and wait for me, okay?" Her voice was soft and gentle, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Jun Zechen looked at her with a little confusion, not understanding what she was up to, so he had to sit obediently in front of her dressing table.

He casually glanced at himself in the mirror, then his eyes moved away and fell on her exquisite dressing table.

This dressing table is carved from a whole piece of fine pear wood. The table top is filled with a variety of small jars, exuding a faint fragrance.

Su Jingyao walked into the room again lightly. Miaoyun and Miaoxue each carefully carried a basin of water.

Miaoxue carefully placed the basin at the prince's feet, and then gently took off his shoes.

Jun Zechen naturally put his feet into the basin, enjoying the perfect comfort.

Then, Miaoxue carefully placed another basin on the cabinet next to the dressing table and retreated silently.

"What are you keeping in suspense?" Jun Zechen's voice was filled with curiosity.

"Just now when I was playing chess with His Highness, I was a little close to His Highness and accidentally noticed that His Highness had a little black eye. I think it must be because His Highness has been busy with government affairs recently and did not get enough rest."

"I have some excellent beauty ointment here. Can I apply some on you?" Su Jingyao's tone was gentle and her eyes were full of concern.

Jun Zechen was slightly startled, showing a look of surprise, then nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Su Jingyao elegantly took a purple jar from the dressing table and carefully scooped out an appropriate amount of ointment with the back of her onion-like nails.

Then she bent down slightly, and with gentle and delicate movements, like a breeze, she gently applied the ointment under his eyes.

The two were so close that Jun Zechen could even clearly hear her soft breathing, as if a warm spring breeze was blowing past his ears.

He could still clearly see the tiny white hairs on her face, which were flickering faintly in the candlelight.

Her curled eyelashes in the candlelight trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and his heart seemed to tremble along with them.

Su Jingyao's expression was focused and serious when she was applying the ointment, and her movements were light and gentle, making Jun Zechen feel a coolness on the skin under his eyes, which was extremely comfortable.

His eyes involuntarily fell on her exquisite and beautiful face, as if attracted by an invisible force and unable to look away.

When Su Jingyao finished applying the cream, she opened her red lips and said softly, "Your Highness will have to attend court tomorrow morning. I noticed that your beard seems to be a little long today, so I will shave it for you."

While Jun Zechen was soaking his feet, he was immersed in the comfortable feeling because of her gentle actions just now.

He nodded slightly, a hint of laziness and satisfaction revealed on his face, and gently closed his eyes, as if he completely trusted Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao carefully and gently applied the beard softening ointment around his lips bit by bit.

This was the first time a woman shaved Jun Zechen's beard. In the past, it was Anshun who took care of his beard.

Ling Yue has a bold and unrestrained personality and never cares about these details. He has long been accustomed to An Shun's service.

Su Jingyao's hands were as soft as catkins and as smooth as silk.

When the cream was applied on his face, Jun Zechen felt extremely comfortable. He enjoyed it to the fullest, closing his eyes tightly, with the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising slightly.

Seeing this, Su Jingyao couldn't help but complain in her heart.

This dog man is the first person she has served in this way. I really don’t believe that there is any man who doesn’t like this gentle place.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao skillfully picked up the copper knife that was polished to be as thin as a cicada's wing and began to shave Jun Zechen.

After shaving, she picked up the towel and put it in the basin on the cabinet, wrung it gently, and then gently washed his face.

After everything was done, the two of them slowly walked towards the bed.

This time, Jun Zechen still chose to sleep on the outside, while Su Jingyao slept on the inside.

The two of them were each covered with a thin silk quilt and fell asleep quietly.

The candle flame was more than half burned out. It was the season between spring and summer, and it was rainy. The sound of rain began to be heard outside the house.

suddenly.

With a loud "boom", thunder broke through the air and Su Jingyao was instantly awakened.

In panic, she covered most of her face with the quilt, her small hands tightly grasping the thin quilt, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Jun Zechen was also awakened by the thunder. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, the trembling of the woman beside him prevented him from falling asleep again. He was a light sleeper to begin with.

He frowned slightly and asked softly, "Afraid?"

When Su Jingyao heard the voice, she was shocked and surprised that he would actually speak on his own initiative.

She responded softly: "Your Highness, I want to go to the side hall."

"Why?" Jun Zechen looked puzzled.

"I have been afraid of thunder since I was a child. I will go to the side hall and ask Madam Li to accompany me to sleep."

Su Jingyao's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. She seemed a little embarrassed, afraid that the man would think she was being too pretentious.

"If you leave now, what will the people in the palace say about you tomorrow? If my mother knew, wouldn't she blame me because of you?" Jun Zechen said in a flat tone.

"But...I am afraid."

Su Jingyao turned around timidly, her eyes full of fear and grievance, looking particularly pitiful under the dim candlelight.

"come over."

Su Jingyao hesitated for a moment, frowning slightly. Is this what she thought?

Then she cautiously tried and moved her body over.

She clasped the man's strong arms tightly, as if they were her only support in the stormy sea.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Su Jingyao felt a little relieved. She quietly got into his quilt, pressed her body tightly against his arm, and rested her head gently on his shoulder.

She opened her red lips slightly, and a fragrance like orchid floated out: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Jun Zechen didn't know why he was so gentle to her. Perhaps it was her pure and kind character, or perhaps it was her innocent and careless nature that always made him feel pity for her, and even a little distressed.

Su Jingyao felt the warmth from the man beside her, the fear in her heart gradually dissipated, and she fell into a deep sleep again.

However, Jun Zechen still had trouble falling asleep.

The woman's delicate body was like a sweet torture, making his body even hotter.

Her body still exuded bursts of fragrance, mixed with a hint of sweetness, like an invisible charm, tempting him to hug her tightly and fall asleep.

The more Jun Zechen tried to endure, the harder it was for him to fall asleep. Eventually, he involuntarily pulled his hand out of the woman's arms, then tightly embraced her slender waist and gently held her in his arms.

With his arms filled with warmth and softness, surrounded by the subtle fragrance, he finally fell asleep slowly.

The smile on Su Jingyao's face in her arms became more and more smug. Didn't she hate those pitiful, delicate and pretentious girls from wealthy families?

Ah.
