Wearing a book, hooking him up

Jun Zechen was originally sitting in the imperial study handling government affairs when the palace maid sent by Concubine Lin came hurriedly to report that Concubine Chunshu had stopped Concubine Lin in the imperial garden.

Jun Zechen knew that Yaoyao had always been gentle and would never embarrass the concubines for no reason, so he didn't intend to pay too much attention to her.

However, when Concubine Lin's maid saw that her master had not arrived at the Qianqing Palace for a long time, she hurriedly asked Anshun to go in and report. Jun Zechen now thought about going over to take a look in person.

As soon as he walked outside the pavilion, without informing anyone, he clearly heard what Concubine Lin said.

However, Jun Zechen did not pay much attention to what Concubine Lin said. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Su Jingyao.

The indifferent look on her face at this moment was something he had never seen before. It was as if she was covered with a thin layer of frost, revealing a sense of coldness and alienation.

Jun Zechen walked slowly into the pavilion. Su Jingyao raised her eyes and saw him, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Are you here to support your new favorite?

It came really quickly.

When Su Jingyao saw him coming, her expression not only did not change, but became even colder.

She just said slowly, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen walked up to her and helped her up, saying softly, "Sit down. You are not feeling well, so there is no need to be polite."

At this time, Concubine Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the emperor whom she had been thinking about finally arrive, and her eyes were instantly filled with grievance.

There were still traces of tears on her pretty face.

She said tenderly, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen frowned slightly and looked at her, with a questioning tone: "What's wrong?"

Miaoyun, who was standing by, immediately responded, "Your Majesty, today Concubine Lin passed by the master in a sedan chair, but she didn't get off the sedan chair to greet him. It was only after Miaoxia saw it that she stopped Concubine Lin, and then Concubine Lin came over to greet the master."

Then she added: "When Concubine Lin performed the ceremony, I wonder if she didn't learn the etiquette well. The master asked me to teach Concubine Lin the rules."

Concubine Lin did not refute, but just looked at Jun Zechen with a wronged and innocent look on her face.

She said softly, "It is all my fault today. I did not notice the Concubine Chunshu in the pavilion, and I did not kneel down to pay respect to her when I was paying respect. I am willing to accept any punishment from her."

At this time, Concubine Lin's forehead had a conspicuous red mark from kowtowing, and she looked so submissive, as if Concubine Chunshu was being unreasonable.

After all, she really didn't need to kneel and kowtow to Concubine Chunshu today. Although Concubine Chunshu was a high-ranking concubine, it was not wrong to ask her to kneel and kowtow, but there was absolutely no reason to punish her for it.

After hearing this, Su Jingyao sighed in her heart, what a good move of retreating to advance.

But since Concubine Lin wanted to be punished, how could she not be satisfied?

"In that case, I will send a nanny to Liushuang Pavilion every day to teach Concubine Lin etiquette." Su Jingyao said slowly and unhurriedly.

Jun Zechen looked at her, who was so aggressive and different from before, and felt a little confused.

What's up with her?

Are you deliberately making things difficult for Concubine Lin?

Or...is she jealous?

Jun Zechen lowered his head and took a sip of the scented tea that Miaoyun had just poured for him. His eyes were so deep that it was hard to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Concubine Lin watched His Majesty remain indifferent, and her heart sank suddenly.

Could it be that His Majesty dotes on Concubine Chunshu so much that he allows her to use her power to oppress others?

Lin Jieyu had no other choice at this moment. She could only grit her teeth and accept it, uttering a few words with difficulty: "Yes, thank you, Madam."

After Concubine Lin agreed, Su Jingyao stood up and said coldly to Jun Zechen: "Your Majesty, I have been out for a long time today and I feel a little tired now. I will go back to Zhaochun Palace now."

When Jun Zechen heard that she was leaving, he immediately prepared to get up and leave with her.

When Concubine Lin saw this, she suddenly became a little flustered. Is His Majesty going to Zhaochun Palace?

But I was supposed to go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany the emperor today!

Then she hurriedly called out softly: "Your Majesty..."

While shouting, she looked at Jun Zechen with affectionate, innocent and pitiful eyes, and there seemed to be a flickering light in her eyes.

Jun Zechen just glanced at her calmly, and then ordered An Shun, "Send someone to send Concubine Lin back to Liushuang Pavilion."

Concubine Lin gritted her teeth and left the pavilion. Today she had lost more than she gained.

After seeing Concubine Lin leave, Su Jingyao was about to turn around and leave, but Jun Zechen suddenly reached out and held her hand.

With a little effort, Su Jingyao sat on his lap unsteadily.

A trace of panic suddenly appeared on Su Jingyao's face, which had been indifferent just now, and then she quickly looked around the pavilion.

Somewhat anxiously, he said, "Your Majesty! This is outside."

"Outside the pavilion are people from your palace and mine, it's okay."

Jun Zechen said indifferently, his expression calm and composed.

His broad hands held her slender waist tightly like an iron clamp, and his low and magnetic voice sounded slowly above her head.

"Did Concubine Lin make you angry?"

"I punished Concubine Lin. Your Majesty, are you distressed?"

Su Jingyao did not respond to his question directly, but asked back with a bit of stubbornness and questioning.

"Why am I angry? Yaoyao is in charge of the Palace Administration Department. If a concubine is disrespectful to you, she will naturally be punished."

Jun Zechen's tone was light, like a calm lake without a ripple, and his deep eyes held an elusive look.

Lin Jieyu, he is useful.

However, Jun Zechen found it quite novel when he saw her like this at the moment.

During the time when he doted on Concubine Lin, he summoned her to accompany him every few days and gave her many rewards. Rumors spread throughout the palace that Concubine Lin was his new favorite.

However, every time he went to Zhaochun Palace, the woman in his arms always looked calm, as if she knew nothing.

He actually thought she didn't care at all.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise up an imperceptible arc.

Su Jingyao was almost accustomed to his casual words, as if he would support her no matter what she did.

Who knows what he is thinking in his heart.

"I want to go back."

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, sat on his legs and twisted her body gently, struggling a little to get off, but she couldn't break free from the strong restraints.

"Are you jealous?" Jun Zechen's voice was tinged with teasing.

"I don't dare."

Although Su Jingyao is full of confidence in herself, a man's heart is as unpredictable as a needle in the sea.

She was not jealous, she was just worried that her boss would change his mind, which would affect her path to promotion.

If he really fell in love with Concubine Lin, she would definitely kill Concubine Lin. A hint of viciousness quietly revealed in Su Jingyao's eyes.

She would never let anyone affect her dream of becoming the empress dowager.

After all, if she had not become the queen and the queen mother, she would have become another nameless soul in this imperial city.

Jun Zechen sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and doting.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Jingyao with gentle and focused eyes.

"Yaoyao believes in me. No one can shake Yaoyao's position in my heart."

Su Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly.

Today's situation was not only Concubine Lin testing her, but also Su Jingyao testing Jun Zechen.

Since Jun Zechen said so, it seems that Concubine Lin is just a pawn of Jun Zechen.

But she didn't understand why Jun Zechen doted on Concubine Lin so much?

He dotes on her so ostentatiously, is he making Concubine Lin a target?

Afterwards, Su Jingyao softened her body, snuggled over, and gently rested her head on Jun Zechen's broad shoulders, her voice tinged with coquettishness and laziness.

"I can never escape your majesty's sweet words."

Jun Zechen nodded slightly and kissed her smooth forehead softly with an extremely gentle action.

Sweet words come from his heart.

Moreover, he was the one who could not escape the sweet words, so much so that even he himself found what he was doing now incredible.

Jun Zechen's eyes became as deep as the ocean, looking straight into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

At the beginning, Ling Yue gave the new concubine a position that was too low, so there are very few high-ranking concubines now.

He also could not ignore the palace rules and promote concubines at will.

Now Yaoyao has the highest position and is very favored, with the eldest prince by her side. It was not until the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that Jun Zechen suddenly realized that now everyone's attention in the harem seems to be focused on Yaoyao.

That's why he wanted to bring up a new concubine to divert the attention of all the concubines from Yaoyao.

And this new concubine was Concubine Lin.

The fact that Concubine Lin was able to escape unscathed from the Queen Mother's birthday banquet at least showed that she was not a stupid person. In addition, her family background was neither high nor low, which made her suitable to be a favored concubine.

Originally he had considered Ye Ronghua, but her family background was too high and she was not suitable.

but……

A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed across Jun Zechen's deep eyes.

Since Concubine Lin has become the favorite concubine, it is absolutely impossible for her to have children.

Jun Zechen held her gently and tenderly in his arms, whispering in her ears intimately.

The two of them whispered flirtatious words that were private only between them and could not be told to outsiders.

He looked at her face intently and coaxed her patiently until he saw her finally smile, a smile that no longer showed any concern for Concubine Lin. Only then did he slowly feel relieved.

"Let's go. I'll go back to Zhaochun Palace with you." Jun Zechen said softly.

Then, he naturally took her slender little hand and walked steadily towards the imperial carriage.

His imperial carriage was surrounded by grey and white silk interwoven together, which covered the inside tightly, so that people outside could not get a glimpse of what was going on inside.

After the two of them sat in the imperial carriage together, Jun Zechen held her in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"The Flower Festival will be here in a few days. Concubine Ling has now lost her power to assist in managing the six palaces, and my mother has handed over all matters of the six palaces to you. This year's Flower Festival only requires a family banquet. Yaoyao will have a hard time during this period."

Jun Zechen said softly, his tone gentle and pitying.

"After the banquet, I will take you out of the palace."

When Su Jingyao heard the word "leave the palace", she raised her head and looked at him, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, will you go back on your word this time?" Su Jingyao pouted, a little dissatisfied on her face, and asked coquettishly.

Jun Zechen looked at her like this and thought she was so cute. He lifted her delicate chin, leaned over and kissed her gently.

The kiss between the two was passionate to the extreme. Su Jingyao had felt a man's domineering kiss before, but as a woman, she really preferred Jun Zechen's gentle and delicate kiss.

More comfortable.

After Jun Zechen let her go, there was a hint of lust in his eyes, "I will give Yaoyao a gift on the Flower Festival."
