Anshun, accompanied by a group of disguised guards, anxiously inquired along the way, asking people around him from time to time, looking as eager as if he wanted to dig out every detail.
Even with a veil, Concubine Su stood out in the crowd. She had a graceful figure, and her every move exuded a unique temperament that made people unable to help but take a few more glances at her.
Soon, several people reported that a woman in a green dress had appeared on Linlang Street.
After Jun Zechen got the news, he immediately rushed to Linlang Street without stopping.
His face was stern and he said nothing.
"Master, according to previous investigations on the Second Madam, her brother would take her to the Bodhi tree at the end of Linlang Street every year to admire the flowers. Today, many people saw a woman in a green dress on Linlang Street. I guess the Second Madam went to the Bodhi tree."
An Shun's words rang in Jun Zechen's ears, and then he raised his foot and walked quickly towards the Bodhi tree.
Jun Zechen naturally knew about the Bodhi tree. He took Ling Yue there last year.
When he arrived under the Bodhi tree, it was still as lively and crowded as in previous years.
People gathered around the stage, discussing something excitedly.
Jun Zechen frowned, feeling a little anxious. With so many people around, how could he find her?
Just when he was feeling a little confused, he looked up and saw that the woman was actually on the stage.
At this time, Su Jingyao had just completed three rounds of flower-circling orders, and a respected old man on the stage happened to announce that Su Jingyao had won and could hang a piece of paper on the Bodhi tree.
The old man had a kind face. He walked slowly to Su Jingyao and said with a smile, "Miss, you are knowledgeable. You have won three rounds. Miss can choose three colors of the five-color paper."
"Red, yellow and blue, please. Thanks."
Su Jingyao's voice is clear and pleasant, as beautiful as a silver bell.
She took the paper from the old man, her face filled with a brilliant smile that even the veil could not hide. Her eyes were bright and clear, as if thousands of stars were twinkling in them.
Su Jingyao walked off the stage. Because she was on the stage, Si Nanyu squeezed through the crowd and came to the front early.
Su Jingyao also saw him, smiled brightly, and proudly showed off the paper in her hand in front of Si Nanyu.
Her movements were light and cheerful, like a happy little bird. "I got it!" Her voice was full of joy and pride.
Si Nanyu stared blankly at Su Jingyao, whose eyes seemed to be as bright and dazzling as thousands of stars. He was dazed for a moment, but soon came back to his senses.
When Jun Zechen saw Su Jingyao on the stage, he originally wanted to walk over, but Su Jingyao actually walked straight towards a man.
His steps suddenly stopped and his eyes darkened.
Anshun also obviously saw this scene, and his heart skipped a beat. It’s all over. Concubine Su is just adding fuel to the fire!
Then, seeing how relaxed and happy the woman was in front of the man, Jun Zechen's face became terribly gloomy, his eyes as sharp as a storm, staring at Su Jingyao.
He clenched his fists, veins bulged on his arms, and tried his best to control his emotions.
The people around him were frightened by the man's aura and began to move away unconsciously, for fear of angering this scary man.
Su Jingyao took the scented tea that Si Nanyu had prepared earlier. The tea was served in an exquisite porcelain cup, with wisps of hot steam rising from it, exuding a faint scent of jasmine.
Su Jingyao went to compete on the stage. While she was waiting, Si Nanyu thoughtfully bought some scented tea. This was the jasmine tea that Su Jingyao drank every year.
After Su Jingyao took the scented tea, a bright smile blossomed on her face, as bright and beautiful as the warm spring sun.
Her eyes curved into crescents, full of tenderness and gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Si."
After saying that, she gently picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip with her small red lips. Then the two of them walked to the back of the stage, where many people who had won the flower order were holding pieces of paper and were preparing to hang them on the Bodhi tree.
Jun Zechen had already walked to the Bodhi tree in advance. He stood there quietly. His black robe made him look tall and straight, but he exuded a terrifying aura that made people afraid to approach him.
The people around him seemed to feel the pressure emanating from him and unconsciously retreated away.
As soon as Su Jingyao walked over, she saw Jun Zechen. Her body suddenly stiffened and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
The moment the two looked at each other, Su Jingyao was stunned and startled. The scented tea in her hand accidentally fell, and the tea splashed out, wetting her skirt.
"Miss Su, are you okay?"
Si Nanyu's attention was always on Su Jingyao. Seeing her suddenly lose her composure, he asked hurriedly with concern.
He didn't see Jun Zechen. Seeing Su Jingyao staring blankly in one direction, he followed her gaze. The moment he saw Jun Zechen, his expression instantly became complicated, and a hint of surprise and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Then he took two steps back, keeping a distance from Su Jingyao. Looking at the terrifying look in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes, he naturally couldn't cause any trouble for Su Jingyao.
He looked at Su Jingyao with some worry and sighed inwardly.
I really don't know what kind of life she has been leading in the East Palace. The prince is so cold and indifferent. Su Jingyao has been spoiled and loved by everyone since she was a child. How can she stand such treatment?
Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen's cold eyes and felt bitter in her heart.
She walked slowly forward, step by step, towards Jun Zechen, and only stopped when she was in front of Jun Zechen.
She felt a little nervous and called softly, "Husband...husband..." There was a slight tremor in her voice, like a flower swaying in the wind.
