After today's sacrifice, Su Jingyao leisurely returned to her tent and leaned lazily on the couch to rest.

She did not join the concubines in riding horses at the stables the entire afternoon.

She had a very clear understanding of her half-baked horsemanship, and did not want to accidentally bump into a concubine while riding and cause any unnecessary trouble.

She had just listened to Miaoyun's vivid and lively account of the dispute between Concubine Ling and Concubine Lin at the horse farm.

That's really interesting.

"Master, I don't know what Concubine Lin said that actually made Concubine Ling so angry that she whipped Concubine Lin's horse directly, and Your Majesty happened to see it."

Miaoyun said this with a smile.

"Well, let them fight. Concubine Ling can't beat Concubine Lin and Concubine Ye. I really hope they can come over a few more times."

There was a nonchalant smile on Su Jingyao's face.

Jun Zechen was already extremely fed up with the schemes of the women in the harem, and she would let Jun Zechen feel what a truly warm harbor was like with her.

This is the second to last step in conquering the heart.

As for Concubine Ling and Concubine Lin, Su Jingyao didn't pay much attention to them. It was nice to listen to them to pass the time.

Then, she asked casually, "Who did His Majesty summon today?"

Su Jingyao was the imperial concubine, so it was understandable that Jun Zechen stayed in her tent on the first day.

However, if the spring hunt was to be stopped at her place during these days, the court officials would inevitably have some opinions, and Su Jingyao would not let Jun Zechen come to her tent every day.

"Your Majesty went to Concubine Ye after dinner." Miaoyun pouted and said somewhat unhappily.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly.

Jun Zechen knew that it would be best if he found another woman. She didn't want to persuade him to be fair to everyone, as this would make him angry.

However, although Concubine Lin's actions today suppressed Concubine Ling, they also benefited Concubine Ye.

After all, if she had not been frightened while riding a horse today, according to how much Jun Zechen "favored" her, she should have been the one who slept with him today.

But who knows, many people from Ye Jieyu's family came to this spring hunt, and the competitions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will most likely be dominated by members of the Ye family.

It is possible that Jun Zechen favored Concubine Ye first in order to give face to the Ye family.

The night grew darker like thick ink, and soon it was the end of the hour of Xu.

Su Jingyao was just about to put down the book in her hand and go to sleep.

After all, I still have to ride horses tomorrow, which is very tiring, so I must conserve my energy today.

Suddenly, Miaoyun walked in with a slightly unusual look and went straight to the bed.

Su Jingyao looked at her suspiciously and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Master, Eunuch Fuquan is waiting outside the tent. He said that His Majesty invites you to bathe in the hot spring in the back mountain." Miaoyun said carefully with her head down.

Miaoyun was also very confused. Didn't His Majesty go to Concubine Ye's tent? Why did he suddenly go to the back mountain to take a hot spring bath?

Su Jingyao couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

Is he sick?

It would be fine if he summoned Ye Jieyu to take a hot spring bath late at night, but why did he ask her to go?

Could it be that he was preparing to serve two women in one night?

As she thought about it, Su Jingyao looked a little unhappy, and said in a light tone: "Tell Fuquan that I have gone to bed."

She won't go.

"Yes, master." Miaoyun responded and turned to leave.

After going out, Miaoyun looked at Fuquan with an embarrassed expression, and said anxiously: "Eunuch Fuquan, I thought the master was still reading, but when I went in just now, the master had already fallen asleep."

"You also know that His Majesty usually doesn't dare to wake up the master when he attends the morning court. How dare I disturb the master who is sleeping?"

After hearing this, Fuquan frowned, looking confused. This...

The Imperial Concubine was asleep and it was indeed not easy to disturb her. If he made the Imperial Concubine angry because of this matter, he would be the one who suffered in the end.

Afterwards, Fuquan could only go back to His Majesty with a bitter face and prepare to report everything truthfully.

Back mountain hot spring.

Jun Zechen's face was indifferent, his arms slowly spread out and lazily rested on the wall of the hot spring.

His eyes were deep and cold, his thoughts were surging, and he was immersed in thinking about the current situation in the court.

When he was the crown prince, in order to make his position as solid as a rock, he originally wanted to bring down the cunning fox Su Shangshu Ling.

So that his own people can replace him and take over smoothly.

But who would have thought that later his mother would ask for an imperial decree to appoint Yaoyao as his crown prince's concubine.

At first, he never thought about the impact a concubine would have on his decision-making in the court.

However, as time went by, his heart unconsciously shifted towards Yaoyao little by little.

After that, the old fox Su also began to show his goodwill to him. In addition, Jun Zechen thought that Yaoyao had a strong family background, so she would be more confident in the harem, not to mention the existence of the eldest prince.

Therefore, Jun Zechen has now completely given up the idea of ​​attacking the Su family.

Seeing how favored the Su family's daughter was in the harem, the Ye family naturally sent the Ye family's daughter into this year's talent show.

When Jun Zechen went to war as a prince, he had already secretly cultivated his own army, in addition to the part of the army handed down to him after the death of the previous emperor.

Today, he has firmly grasped the control of one-third of the country's military.

Another one-third of the troops are stationed on the border all year round. After all, the kingdom has a vast territory and faces threats from foreign enemies in all directions: east, south, west, north and south.
