Today, the sun was scorching hot, and the three newlyweds, Ye Yaqin, Mu Liyue and Lin Miaoyin, entered the palace under the guidance of a group of palace maids.

Ling Yue personally arranged the staff and led them to live in the residence she had prepared in an orderly manner.

When Jun Zechen came out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity today, he listened again to his father telling him about the ancestral precepts of seven sons having different mothers.

In my previous life, I didn't hear about this until right before my father passed away. But in this life, because the selection was held in advance, my father actually told me about it in advance.

But Jun Zechen's heart was calm.

I just sighed slightly. It seems that a lot has really changed in this life.

When Jun Zechen returned to the East Palace, night had already fallen and he had dinner in the Yude Hall.

The considerate An Shun bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Highness, today three new people have entered the East Palace. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Jun Zechen was slightly startled when he heard this. A new person entered the palace today?

He frowned slightly.

"Who are they?"

"Ye Liangdi, Mu Liangdi and Lin Liangyuan." Anshun answered quickly.

A hint of thought flashed across Jun Zechen's eyes, but he suddenly thought of the jealous and competitive woman.

"What is the concubine doing?"

"The concubine has not come out of the Shuining Palace today. Perhaps it is because of the hot weather."

Anshun explained, his eyes always downcast.

But Jun Zechen knew clearly that although Su Jingyao didn't like to walk too much on weekdays, she would still take a walk in the small garden after dinner, or go to the pavilion to watch the fish.

You didn’t even go out today?

"Let's go to Shui Ning Palace and take a look."

After Jun Zechen finished speaking, he strode towards the Shuining Palace.

When we arrived at Shuening Palace, the candlelight inside was flickering.

Su Jingyao was just like when she first entered the East Palace a few months ago. She was alone, concentrating on the chessboard with a serious expression, which was completely different from her usual playful, charming and lively appearance.

As Jun Zechen stepped into the hall, the candlelight flickered slightly, and Su Jingyao then noticed his arrival.

She looked up and was a little surprised to see it was him.

Isn't there a new bride entering the palace today? Why is she here?

Su Jingyao prepared to stand up and salute.

"No thanks, just sit down. I haven't seen you play chess for a long time. Would you like to play chess with me?"

Jun Zechen strode to the opposite side of her and sat down calmly.

"Then please, Your Highness."

Su Jingyao curled her lips slightly and smiled, her smile blossoming, instantly brightening up the atmosphere in the entire hall.

The two of them immediately began to play chess. Su Jingyao naturally would not simply play chess with him like she did the first time.

She frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes moved around, and she stared at the chess board while asking casually.

"Today, a new bride enters the palace. Why don't you go to another place of comfort?"

There was a hint of anger in her tone.

Jun Zechen's hand holding the chess piece suddenly paused in mid-air, a complex emotion spreading in his eyes.

He should indeed go to the newlyweds' place today, but for some reason, he was afraid that she would be sad.

Although I haven't gotten to know her very well in the past few months, I know that she is competitive, or to put it bluntly, vain, domineering, likes to be flattered, and doesn't want to be inferior to others.

She could quarrel with him for a long time just for a bracelet. When a newcomer enters the palace, she naturally has to be given enough confidence and let them know that the concubine is favored.

Jun Zechen had many women in his previous life, so he has little interest in women in this life.

The first time I favored Su Jingyao, it was simply because I didn’t want her to disappear silently like she did in her previous life.

However, later on, it was undeniable that he gradually developed some affection for Su Jingyao, the kind of affection that made him want to pamper and indulge her from the bottom of his heart.

The feeling she brought to him was new and unique, something he had never experienced before.

Outwardly, she is dignified and graceful like a lady from a noble family; inwardly, she is charming and seductive like a changeable fairy.

Although she showed her vanity and arrogance from time to time in front of him, she was extremely good at both chess and poetry, and was definitely not the kind of woman who was all show and no brains.

To Jun Zechen, Su Jingyao seemed like a collection of contradictions. The more he explored her, the more obsessed he became, and the more he liked her.

Therefore, in this talent show, Jun Zechen mostly selected women who were able to bear children, hoping to fulfill his father's instructions and ancestral teachings as soon as possible.

Let the princes be born early and sent to the prince's house for careful training just like in their previous life.

In this way, they will not be contaminated by the corrupt atmosphere of the harem, nor will the princes have to interact too much with their mothers.

Jun Zechen has always treated the princes equally.

There were enough princes in the harem. By then, his mother and the court officials would no longer be able to say anything about how he favored a woman.

but.......

Jun Zechen felt both conflicted and worried.

I want to pamper her, but I'm also afraid that she will become lawless due to being spoiled.

Especially now, there are more and more women around. If she continues to be arrogant and domineering by relying on his favor, these women will have many ways to deal with her.

Jun Zechen placed his chess piece slowly, then raised his head and asked with a hint of joking in his eyes, "Are you jealous?"

"I'm jealous. Your Highness, can you let me have a child?"

Su Jingyao smiled like a flower and asked in a soft voice.

Didn't he say he never gave way to others? Now that I'm here today, I'll break his insistence a little.

"Play well. Your chess skills are probably even better than your father's."

Jun Zechen raised the corner of his mouth, as if smiling.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows unceremoniously and answered confidently.

"Of course, I learned chess from my father, but I am better than my father. This is a natural talent."
