Jun Zechen listened to his father's words with a look of surprise on his face. He never thought that his father would understand his heart so well.
Hearing his father's words, Jun Zechen was slightly shocked.
He stared at Emperor Jingsheng, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
"You are still young and should not be trapped in all these calculations. As the crown prince, you must maneuver among the calculations while also being open-minded and caring about the world."
"I sent you to the battle so that you could see the corpses scattered all over the ground, witness the people being displaced, experience the cruelty of war, and deeply understand what it means for a country to be strong."
"And you."
Emperor Jingsheng's eyes were as sharp as torches as he met Jun Zechen's eyes, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"As a prince, the country is your most important responsibility. Even if you have a favorite girl when you are young, in front of the country, your loved ones, the things you love, and even yourself must be sacrificed."
"Father, I know that your country is the most important thing to you. I will devote myself to it until my death."
"Minister Su is a pillar of the country. If you ignore your concubine, you will chill the hearts of the ministers. I originally arranged a marriage for you. Since you did not refuse, you should assume the responsibility as the crown prince."
"If there is no Concubine Su, there will be more concubines and concubines in the future. Are you going to marry them all back to the palace as decorations?"
Jun Zechen's face changed, and he said sincerely: "I know my mistake, and I will definitely treat Concubine Su well."
"Well, back off."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Jun Zechen walked out of the imperial study with a gloomy face and furrowed brows. With every step, there was a hint of anger as he walked slowly towards the East Palace.
Today's affairs were already numerous, and after they were finished, he was lectured by his father because of his mother's complaint, and he felt depressed.
"Anshun, what did the concubine do today?"
Jun Zechen's voice was as cold as ice, his eyes were filled with coldness, and he stared straight ahead coldly, as if he wanted to freeze everything in front of him.
An Shun bent his body and followed Jun Zechen carefully.
She replied softly, "Your Highness, the concubine went to the Empress's place in Kunning Palace today."
Jun Zechen's heart sank when he heard this.
Originally, he thought that Su Jingyao had been behaving herself in the Eastern Palace for ten days and was a simple, innocent, and non-confrontational woman.
I didn't expect her to be so scheming. Knowing that seducing me would be fruitless, she tried to please the Queen Mother in order to gain status.
His fists clenched unconsciously, and the anger in his eyes burst out like a burning flame.
Jun Zechen took big steps, his speed suddenly increased, and he walked into the East Palace with a majestic square step, heading straight towards the Xiyan Palace.
Anshun took small steps and tried his best to trot after him, secretly complaining in his heart.
Alas, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why doesn't he show any pity for his old bones?
Qiluan Palace.
When Ling Yue heard the news that Jun Zechen had returned to the East Palace, a hint of joy flashed in her beautiful eyes. She then eagerly ordered the servants to bring dinner, unable to hide her inner anticipation.
Meixiang's eyes flickered, revealing hesitation, her lips trembled slightly, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She looked at her master's happy expression and couldn't bear to break her joy, but she also didn't want her master to be busy only to see the Crown Prince absent.
Finally, Meixiang took a deep breath and said softly, "Master, after His Highness returned to the East Palace, he immediately went to Xiyan Palace."
When Ling Yue heard this, her body trembled violently, the smile on her face froze instantly, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
He said softly, "Aze must have gone to Xiyan Palace for something important, so let's keep the dinner warm."
Only her fluttering eyelashes and tightly clenched handkerchief betrayed her inner uneasiness.
Ling Yue slowly sat down on the couch, waved her jade hand gently, and Meixiang lowered her head and retreated.
She sat there alone, a look of loss gradually appearing on her beautiful face, and the light in her eyes became dim.
It is clear that Aze has ignored Su Jingyao for ten days, so maybe he really has something important to tell you when he goes to Xiyan Palace today.
But for some reason, her heart could not calm down, as if an invisible force was stirring her mind.
Su Jingyao's pitiful appearance kept appearing in her mind.
Su Jingyao is a girl from a noble family, a beautiful and charming girl, and an innocent and kind-hearted concubine of the crown prince. It is fully legitimate for the crown prince to go to Xiyan Palace.
But......
As a woman, Ling Yue herself would be distracted by Su Jingyao's beauty, let alone the prince.
Thinking of this, Ling Yue felt more and more uneasy. She really didn't want the prince to have too much contact with Su Jingyao.
However, I have no place to vent this fear and anxiety, and can only bury it deep in my heart.
