Li Jing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he knelt directly in front of her, moving his body to let the light through so as to no longer block her from reading.
Su Jingyao seemed accustomed to his actions. She didn't even lift her eyelids and continued to read the book in her hands.
"Why did the master marry the prince?"
Li Jing finally plucked up the courage to ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time.
Su Jingyao paused for a moment when she heard this. She gently flipped the pages and asked nonchalantly, "Who do you think I should marry?"
"As a mistress, even if you don't marry the prince, you can still be the legitimate wife of a king, a prince, a general or a minister. Why would you marry the prince and be his concubine?"
There was a subtle hint of urgency in Li Jing's voice. In his heart, Su Jingyao was the most important person.
It would be fine if she married the prince as a concubine, but the prince did not cherish her! Because of this reason, Li Jing's disgust for the prince became stronger.
If his master is willing, he would be willing to kill the prince in exchange for his master's freedom, even if it means sacrificing his own life.
Su Jingyao slowly closed the book, sat up, and looked at Li Jing with indifferent eyes.
Su Jingyao raised her slender hand and gently stroked Li Jing's handsome face with the back of her hand. Her movements were gentle and intimate.
Li Jing's body trembled slightly, and an indescribable throbbing surged in his heart.
"Li Jing, put away your unrealistic fantasies."
When Li Jing heard his master's merciless words, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
It turns out that the master knew everything, knew the desire that he dared not express in his heart.
Li Jing lowered his eyes slightly to hide the loss and pain in his eyes, "Master, Li Jing doesn't dare to have any illusions about you. Li Jing only wants you to have a smooth life, peace and happiness."
Even if he wasn't the one by her side, it didn't matter.
He only wished that she could be happy, even if this happiness had nothing to do with him.
"Li Jing, what I want is not an ordinary life. What I want is to reach the top, to become the queen, to become the queen mother."
"I don't care whether Jun Zechen has a sweetheart or not. I only care whether he is the crown prince or the future emperor."
Su Jingyao's voice was as calm as a pool of autumn water, without the slightest ripple, but her eyes revealed determination and persistence.
People always have to have a goal in life. A simple and happy life may be the dream of many people, but it is not what Su Jingyao yearns for. She is ambitious and just wants to reach out to embrace the bright moon and raise her hand to hold the nebula.
Li Jing slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Su Jingyao's face.
Su Jingyao looked at him and smiled faintly, "Will Li Jing help me?"
Her face was harmless, pure and flawless, as if it was the most perfect work of art carefully crafted by God. However, Li Jing knew that beneath this beautiful appearance, there was a heart full of calculations and ambitions.
But even so, as long as she wanted it and asked, he would help her without hesitation.
"Master, whatever you want, Li Jing will help you with."
Li Jing's voice was as firm as iron, and his eyes were full of loyalty and protection.
From the moment he was picked up by five-year-old Su Jingyao, Li Jing had already decided that he would belong only to Su Jingyao for the rest of his life.
Hearing Li Jing's answer, Su Jingyao's lips curled up into a wanton smile, like a poppy flower blooming in the dark night, beautiful yet dangerous.
"Li Jing is so nice."
Her voice was as gentle as a breeze, but it made Li Jing's heart skip a beat.
Su Jingyao lazily lay back on the beauty couch and continued to read the book.
"Go out and come back in after you get some news about the Marquis of Wu'an's son." Her tone returned to normal.
"yes."
Li Jing responded softly, then turned and left the room.
Just after the middle of the night, Li Jing hurried in, "Master, Wu'an Marquis's son Si Nanyu is now on Linlang Street."
Su Jingyao put down the book in her hand, Miaoyun hurried forward to help her up, and then tidied her dress.
"Let's go to Linlang Street."
There was a barely perceptible hint of anticipation in Su Jingyao's voice. She was really looking forward to Jun Zechen seeing her with another man.
Men are just mean. If someone steals something from them, even if it's a pile of shit, it will smell good.
At this time, Si Nanyu was casually strolling on Linlang Street with a few young men and women. The soft light of lanterns sprinkled on the street, reflecting a prosperous scene.
The separation between men and women in the monarchy was not that strict, and on the Flower Festival, men and women could fall in love with each other.
The reason why Si Nanyu came out today was because these young men and young ladies were brought together by their family elders, who hoped that they would like each other.
After all, they are all aristocratic families, so it would be good no matter who they marry.
However, Si Nanyu was always in a depressed mood, without a trace of joy.
Ever since His Majesty arranged for Su Jingyao to be married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his heart felt as if it was torn apart and he could never get over it. It was obvious that Su Jingyao was the woman he had long admired and the wife he had long considered as his wife.
If it weren't for the fact that the wife of Marquis Wu'an, who is also his mother, had not proposed marriage in a long time, how could Su Jingyao have married the prince as a concubine?
She should have been the Crown Prince's Consort that he married in a formal ceremony!
Memories flooded into his mind like a tide. It was also during the Flower Festival that he fell in love with Su Jingyao at first sight. That one glance made his heart fall in love with her from then on.
After that, he tried every possible way to see Su Jingyao, even if it was only for once.
However, the Su family has strict rules, and Su Jingyao would never meet other men alone.
