Wearing a book, hooking him up

Jun Zechen looked hurried and hurried back to Zhaochun Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, the little palace maid guarding outside was startled at first and saluted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, your servant greets you, the master..." was not in the palace.

Before he finished the last few words, Jun Zechen had already walked into the bedroom like the wind.

Although his face was calm, he was afraid in his heart that she would have wild thoughts because Lei Ming woke up and couldn't see him.

After entering the bedroom, Jun Zechen lifted the bed curtain. In an instant, his brows furrowed, with confusion in his eyes.

Where are the Yaoyao people?

Jun Zechen walked out of the bedroom, his face slightly gloomy, and asked with a hint of majesty in his tone: "Where is your master?"

"Your Majesty, the master has gone to Minde Palace." The maid replied tremblingly.

Minde Hall is the eldest prince's bedroom.

Jun Zechen's brows were still furrowed, and he walked towards the Minde Hall.

Inside the Minde Hall, there was only a faint candle flickering.

Su Jingyao lay on her side, holding Xingxing gently in her arms. Xingxing was already fast asleep.

But Jun Zechen could clearly see the slender shadow cast by her slightly trembling eyelashes in the candlelight, Yaoyao was not asleep.

Did you come to Minde Hall because of Lei Ming?

Jun Zechen walked over lightly, quickly but carefully, for fear of making any sound.

After walking to the bed, he sat down, slowly bent down, and moved closer to Su Jingyao's ear.

The voice was very low but full of concern, "Yaoyao, why did you come to Xingxing's bedroom? I will take you back."

There was a hint of coldness in Su Jingyao's eyes, and a moment of disgust flashed across her beautiful face like a faint ripple.

Su Jingyao also lowered her voice and said, "I will accompany Xingxing tonight. Your Majesty, please go back."

"Yaoyao is angry with me?"

"I dare not, but there are thunder and lightning tonight, and I am afraid that Xingxing will be scared awake, so I am accompanying Xingxing."

Su Jingyao's voice was as calm as water, without much expression on her face, she just spoke calmly.

When Jun Zechen heard her say this, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

After a moment's silence, he lay down on his side, stretched out his arms, and gently held both mother and child in his arms, his actions full of care and love.

Su Jingyao's back was against his chest, with a hint of resistance.

I wanted to stay away from him, but I was afraid that if I moved too much, I would wake up the sleeping Xingxing in my arms, so I could only endure the discomfort.

The bastard came out of Yikun Palace still holding her!

"Yaoyao is also afraid of thunder, so I want to accompany Yaoyao, and then Yaoyao won't be afraid." Jun Zechen's voice was deliberately lowered and had a magnetic feel.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another deafening thunder outside.

Su Jingyao reached out and covered Xingxing's ears almost instinctively as a conditioned reflex.

At the same time, Jun Zechen's big hands covered her ears at an extremely fast speed.

He exerted a little force in his arms and hugged the people tighter, as if he wanted to protect them tightly in his arms and block all their fear and anxiety.

Su Jingyao moved Xingxing to the side very gently, gently pulled up a corner of the quilt with her fingers, and covered Xingxing with the quilt bit by bit.

Then, she turned around slowly, with stubbornness and resentment in her eyes.

"I hate your majesty."

Su Jingyao spoke softly, and as she spoke, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, flickering a faint light in the darkness.

Even though it was a dark night, Jun Zechen could see the tears clearly.

He felt a sudden pain in his heart, as if pricked by a sharp needle.

He hated seeing her cry the most, it always made him feel heartbroken.

Jun Zechen glanced at Xingxing who was still sleeping soundly. It was not appropriate to talk here.

Then he stood up, picked up Su Jingyao from the bed, walked out of the Minde Hall, and returned to the bedroom of the main hall of the Zhaochun Palace.

After Su Jingyao was put on the bed by him, she leaned against the wall with a cold face, her back facing Jun Zechen. She didn't want to see him, nor did she want him to see her expression.

A helpless look appeared on Jun Zechen's face.

He knew that she was unhappy at the moment, so he could only patiently coax her, with gentle sweet words gushing out one after another.

However, no matter what Jun Zechen said to her, Su Jingyao was as indifferent as a wooden sculpture and did not react at all.

Finally, he could only ask helplessly: "How can Yaoyao not be angry?"

He really had no choice but to reach out his hand with a little force to slowly turn her body over.

"You don't plan to pay attention to me anymore? Are you talking about Yaoyao who is spoiled by your favor?" Jun Zechen's voice was low and carried a hint of majesty.

"Ok?"

Jun Zechen put his forehead against hers, his eyes as deep as the endless abyss, staring at her, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

"Where did your Majesty go?"

Su Jingyao pursed her lips and looked at him stubbornly, with a hint of questioning in her eyes.

Jun Zechen's eyes flashed for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing how to answer.

If I tell her the truth that I went to Yikun Palace, will she overthink it and get even angrier?

Seeing that he didn't answer for a while, Su Jingyao sneered in her heart.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have pried into your Majesty's whereabouts. Your Majesty, just pretend that I didn't ask."

"Your Majesty, please do not accuse me of being arrogant because of my favor. How can I be arrogant without favor? If Your Majesty has a favorite sister in the harem, you can go there openly. Why do you have to go there while I am asleep?"

There was a hint of complaint and bitterness in Su Jingyao's words.

Jun Zechen was stunned.

What is she saying?

The person she loves most is right in front of her, but she feels that the person she loves is someone else.

Jun Zechen gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Princess Ling is ill, I went to see her, but because it was a little late, I thought you were asleep, so I thought of staying in Yikun Palace for a night."

"After that, I heard thunder, and thinking Yaoyao would be scared, I hurried over." Jun Zechen explained seriously.

Su Jingyao didn't show any expression, but in her heart she didn't buy his tricks at all.

He is in a hurry, so busy.

Before, when she was sleeping soundly, he did whatever he wanted. If he wanted to hold her to sleep, he would just hold her in his arms domineeringly, no matter it was during nap time or at night.

Haha, anyone who believes in men’s lies is a fool.

"It's so late. I'm very tired today. Your Majesty has to attend court tomorrow. Please take a rest."

Su Jingyao's voice was as calm as water. After she finished speaking, she turned her back to Jun Zechen and fell asleep without hesitation.

Jun Zechen looked at her back, as if he saw her silently expressing her dissatisfaction and resistance to him.

She would be angry if he told her, and she would be angry too if he didn't tell her. No one had ever made him so upset and embarrassed.

Jun Zechen was lying on the outside, staring at Su Jingyao with a look full of inquiry, as if he wanted to see through her every thought.

He pursed his lips, his thin lips forming a straight line.

Can't sleep at all.

If other women dared to treat him like this, he would have left long ago. As an emperor, who had he ever coaxed?

Even if it was Concubine Ling, when had he ever been so humble to coax her before?

Time passed by minute by minute, and the silent palace seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist because of the low pressure emanating from him, making it seem particularly depressing.

Su Jingyao didn't fall asleep either. She knew very well that she had to strike a balance when showing disapproval to such a moody emperor.

Sometimes it's fun to do it appropriately, but sometimes if you don't handle it well, you will completely drive the man away.

Of course, it was impossible for her to fall asleep at this time.

Jun Zechen hasn't said anything yet, nor has he left angrily. It seems that he is still holding back his anger.

The rain tonight seems endless, it keeps falling, and there are thunders from time to time.

Every time the thunder sounded, Su Jingyao's body would tremble slightly involuntarily, looking somewhat pitiful and helpless.

Jun Zechen also knew that she was not asleep. Looking at her huddled together with her back to him, he still couldn't bear to do it.

He stretched out his large palm suddenly with a domineering and powerful movement, and immediately pulled Su Jingyao into his arms.

She struggled slightly at first, but soon ignored him and continued to close her eyes.

Jun Zechen's voice rang out in the silent palace, but the voice was no longer gentle.

"Yaoyao's temper is getting worse and worse. Am I not spoiling you enough? Who in the harem dares to give me such a cold shoulder?"

Su Jingyao opened her eyes because of his words and looked at him with a hint of grievance.

"I didn't show any displeasure. I was just unhappy. Your Majesty has never cared about my mood. Your Majesty only cares about whether his dignity has been violated. I dare not offend Your Majesty. I just want to sleep and calm down. But Your Majesty said that I was angry."

There was a hint of resentment in her voice. The more she spoke, the more pitiful she felt. She even choked up at the end, and the words she said were heartbreaking.

Although she said this, she was indeed angry. When a woman has a quarrel, she will naturally blame the man and say that it is all his fault.

Jun Zechen showed a trace of heartache on his face, and his heart was filled with bitterness.

She is just unhappy and not making any noise or fuss. I should be considerate of her and not question her like that.

Today, he indeed went to Yikun Palace while she was asleep, so it was reasonable for her to be angry.

She lost her child because of Concubine Ling. Even if Concubine Ling was not the mastermind, it would be difficult for her to be magnanimous enough to forgive her. Yaoyao had told him this before.

However, he went to visit Concubine Ling only because he didn't want Concubine Ling to always resort to hurting herself to achieve her goals.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time. He went there today to warn her.

Concubine Ling has changed a lot, even to the point that she disgusts him, but he still hopes that she can live a good life instead of losing herself and doing more wrong things.

Jun Zechen sighed softly.

"I was wrong."

Jun Zechen's face was full of guilt, and his eyes revealed deep self-blame.

"Yaoyao, don't worry about Concubine Ling in the future. You are the most important in my heart. Don't be unhappy anymore."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Su Jingyao's cheek, his eyes full of heartache, "You are the one I care about the most."

When Su Jingyao heard this, her frown relaxed a little, and she finally felt a little satisfied.

Jun Zechen is the emperor and he is high up in the sky. She really can't ask too much of him, but he has to admit his mistakes and know what he did to make her angry. She doesn't want to teach him a lesson again and again.

But it's not enough.

Su Jingyao continued to sob and said, "Your Majesty is lying. On my birthday before, Your Majesty chose to accompany Concubine Ling. Yesterday, on the Flower Festival, Your Majesty also left me to visit Concubine Ling. In Your Majesty's heart, I have never been better than Concubine Ling."

Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, as if they would fall at any time, and her voice was filled with deep resentment.

"I have never expected your Majesty's favor before, but your Majesty always says things that make me misunderstand. From now on, I will not believe it, I will not expect it, I will not be disappointed, and I will not be angry with your Majesty because of disappointment and give you a cold shoulder."

As Su Jingyao spoke, she sobbed softly and her shoulders shook slightly, which made people feel very distressed.

Jun Zechen listened to her accusations, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his face full of entanglement and confusion.

I always felt that what she said was not right, but when I thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

But he went to Concubine Ling not because he liked her. The first time was because he didn't want Concubine Ling to be assassinated, and this time it was just because he wanted to make some things clear to Concubine Ling.

"It's all my fault,"

His face was full of regret.

"I didn't know Yaoyao would be sad about this, but she won't be sad anymore in the future. Please believe me, okay?" His tone was sincere.

"In about half a month, it will be the spring hunt. I will take some concubines with me. By then, Concubine Ling will have been released from house arrest. If Yaoyao doesn't like her, then Concubine Ling will stay in the palace."

As Jun Zechen spoke, he looked at Su Jingyao gently, his eyes full of concern and love.

When Su Jingyao heard this, a strange look flashed across her lowered eyes.

That's not okay.

The Spring Hunt was the first time she went out with Jun Zechen in front of the court officials and concubines after becoming the Imperial Noble Consort. Everyone had to see her splendor and honor.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao said gloomily, "Your Majesty, as a high-ranking concubine, Concubine Ling should have gone with Your Majesty. I was just named Imperial Noble Concubine by Your Majesty, and I don't want the court officials to think that I am jealous of Your Majesty's first wife and suppress Concubine Ling in the harem."

Su Jingyao had a slightly aggrieved look on her face, and lowered her head slightly as she spoke.

Then she whispered, "Your Majesty, please let Concubine Ling go. I don't mind."

"I will let you choose the list for the Spring Hunt. Whoever Yaoyao wants to go can go, and whoever she doesn't want to go can stay away."

Jun Zechen's tone was still gentle. He reached out and stroked Su Jingyao's hair, his eyes full of doting.

"This spring hunt will be held at the Spring Hunting Pass outside the imperial city. I will lead the ministers and soldiers of the court to go together. When the time comes, I will take Yaoyao with me to hunt."

"But I don't know how to ride a horse."

Su Jingyao bit her lips lightly, slowly raised her head, looked at Jun Zechen with clear eyes, and a trace of distress appeared on her face.

Her slightly wrinkled brows were like a crescent moon, making her look even more lovely and charming.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at her lovingly, "With me here, you have nothing to be afraid of. Whatever Yaoyao wants to hunt, I will get it for her."

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and then rubbed Jun Zechen gently like a docile kitten.

Jun Zechen hugged her tighter and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Coaxing her was the hardest thing he had ever done.
