When Su Jingyao woke up the next day, the seat next to her was empty. Jun Zechen had left at some point.

However, this room is connected to Jun Zechen's study. At this moment, he is sitting at the desk in the study, dealing with memorials with a focused expression.

When he went south, mountains of memorials would be transported from the capital to him for review every few days.

Su Jingyao lay on the bed like a fish that had lost its vitality, her big, lively eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

For the first time, I felt deeply confused about my life.

Why.

If she accepts the current Jun Zechen, she always feels like she has found a substitute for herself, which is unfair to anyone. If she doesn't accept it, it will seem like she is deliberately abusing the current Jun Zechen.

She sighed helplessly and frowned.

After Jun Zechen finished dealing with the memorials, he came to the room and saw at a glance that she was awake but still lying lazily on the bed.

"I'm going to inspect the agricultural affairs in Jiangzhou later. Would you like to go with me?" Jun Zechen asked gently.

"No."

Su Jingyao refused without thinking, turned over and faced away from him.

Jun Zechen did not force her, and nodded slightly, saying: "Then you can only stay in this house. I will come back to have dinner with you in the evening."

"Yili is the imperial maid. I asked her to take care of you."

Then he instructed Yili: "Call her Madam when you are outside."

Yili was a palace maid in front of the emperor. She knew yesterday that a woman had moved into His Majesty's room, and she was surprised and curious.

Today, His Majesty not only asked her to take care of him, but also asked her to call her Madam.

This time when he went south to Jiangzhou, His Majesty selected two concubines to accompany him at the request of the Queen Mother. One was the recently favored Concubine Bai, and the other was Mo Shurong (Mo Zhirou).

The Imperial Concubine was in charge of the affairs of the harem, so naturally she did not come along. Mo Shurong was recommended to His Majesty by the Imperial Concubine, so perhaps she was the Imperial Concubine's person.

Neither of the two high-ranking concubines who came with her could be called Madam.

Yili had a lot of thoughts in her mind at once, but the moment His Majesty introduced her, she quickly saluted the unruly but very beautiful woman on the bed.

"I pay my respects to Madam." Yili's voice was clear and her body was slightly bent.

"Get up."

Su Jingyao said lazily, with a hint of nonchalance in her voice.

Jun Zechen did not stay long. After all, today's schedule for inspecting agricultural affairs had been planned long ago and there was no room for delay.

After he hurriedly said a few words, he turned around and strode away.

After Jun Zechen left, Su Jingyao slowly got up from the bed and stretched like a lazy cat.

Yili hurried forward and began to dress her up.

"How long have you been in the Imperial presence?"

Su Jingyao had nothing to do, so she asked casually, glancing to the side casually.

"I have been serving the emperor for three years."

Yili lowered her head, skillfully fiddling with her hair accessories with her hands, and her tone was very respectful.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly. No wonder she didn’t recognize her.

"Your Majesty went south this time. Did the princes follow you?"

Su Jingyao asked tentatively in a seemingly casual manner, staring at herself in the mirror, paying attention to Yili's reaction.

"Yes, but the princes should be inspecting farm affairs with His Majesty."

Yili kept moving her hands and answered respectfully.

Su Jingyao understood some basic information, and after Yili dressed her up, she raised her chin slightly.

He ordered, "Where is the best place in this house? I will have lunch there today."

Su Jingyao got up late, and after cleaning up, it was almost time for lunch.

"The flowers in the back garden are in full bloom right now. There is a Moon-Watching Pavilion there. If you like, Madam, you can have your meal there."

Yili bowed slightly and made a careful suggestion.

"Well, let's go." Su Jingyao stood up and walked towards the door.

Under the guidance of Yili, Su Jingyao walked towards the Moon-Watching Pavilion with light and leisurely steps.

As she walked, she admired with great interest the various flowers in the back garden of the house. The sight of all the flowers competing with each other in beauty was truly beautiful, and it made her feel a little happier.

By the time she sat down in the Moon-Watching Pavilion, the exquisite meal had been neatly prepared.

After five years of wandering outside, Su Jingyao is no longer as strict with her diet as before.

When she was in the palace, she was very strict with herself because beauty was indeed a weapon in the palace. In order to achieve her goals, she naturally had to do her best to maintain it.

After leaving the palace, I originally wanted to live a free and casual life, so I no longer paid attention to my diet.

It was just a habit Su Jingyao had developed over the years. She usually only tasted a little of the food. No matter how delicious the food was, she would only take three bites at most. It was enough for her to just try it.

While Su Jingyao was leisurely eating, Bai Yingyue had already finished her meal and was taking a walk in the back garden in a good mood.

Suddenly she saw a strange and beautiful woman in the courtyard. She opened her eyes wide with disbelief on her face.

Then his steps involuntarily moved closer to the Moon-Watching Pavilion.

who is she?

Bai Yingyue's delicate face was full of confusion and inquiry.

When Yili saw Concubine Bai, she hurriedly lowered her head and immediately saluted.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the White Concubine."

Concubine Bai is now His Majesty's most favored concubine, even the Imperial Concubine cannot compare to her.

"Get up."

Bai Yingyue raised her hand slightly, motioning Yili to stand up, but her eyes were always on Su Jingyao.

When Su Jingyao heard the noise, she just looked up at her casually.

Don’t know.
