The black hair cascaded down like a flowing spring or waterfall, instantly concealing the infinite scenery above the buttocks.
Jun Zechen saw it all. His face turned red and he wanted to turn around to avoid it, but he felt his body stiff, as if he was under a spell and couldn't move.
Su Jingyao bit her lower lip lightly, opened her red lips slightly, and asked in a mosquito-like voice: "Your Highness, I want to go out and put on my dress."
Jun Zechen felt annoyed when he heard this. He came here to settle accounts with her, so how could he be seduced by her beauty!
Jun Zechen closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm the emotions that were surging like a tide in his body.
After calming down a little, he turned around and quietly left the cabinet, waiting quietly in the bedroom outside the screen.
Su Jingyao heard the noise behind her and slowly turned around.
She raised her lips and smiled softly, almost seductively.
Men, is there any man who is not lustful?
Then she moved lightly with lotus steps, her figure graceful and delicate hands casually fiddling with a strand of hair, and walked out of the small door gracefully, taking the white underskirt from the screen outside and putting it on.
The inner skirt is a tube top style, which perfectly shows off her delicate collarbone and graceful shoulders.
Then, she put on a layer of floor-length gauze, and then she walked out slowly with light lotus steps.
After Su Jingyao went out, she saw Jun Zechen with his back to her. He seemed immersed in his own thoughts, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
She said softly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you." Her voice was gentle, like a gentle breeze.
Jun Zechen turned around. Perhaps he was mentally prepared. Even though the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, his eyes did not fluctuate much.
His eyes were as deep as a pool, and his handsome face was extremely solemn.
"Get up."
His voice was cold and emotionless.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Jingyao stood up and bowed slightly.
"Concubine Su is really good at this."
Jun Zechen's words were cold and mixed with a hint of sarcasm.
Su Jingyao didn't understand what was going on. Her watery eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. She didn't understand what she had done wrong to make him so angry.
"Your Highness, I don't know what I did to make you so angry." There was grievance and confusion in her tone.
"I haven't come to Xiyan Palace for ten days. Are you feeling wronged?" Jun Zechen did not answer her question, but asked back.
"I dare not. Your Highness is the master of the East Palace. You can go wherever you want. I will not have any complaints."
Su Jingyao lowered her eyes and answered cautiously.
Jun Zechen looked at the pitiful and sincere appearance of the woman in front of him, but his heart was not moved at all.
This woman is just saying one thing in public and another behind the scenes, and she has mastered this trick to perfection.
"No complaints at all? Then do you want an heir to the throne?" Jun Zechen continued to ask.
Su Jingyao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Did she want to say bluntly that she didn't want an heir? Not to mention the pressure from the queen today, if this sentence got out, it would probably implicate the entire Su family.
"Does Your Highness hate me so much? I know that Your Highness and my sister are in perfect harmony, so I never expect Your Highness to show me mercy."
"But the imperial decree granting my marriage to Your Highness clearly states that I am to give birth to Your Highness' royal heir. How can I say 'I don't want'?"
Tears gradually welled up in Su Jingyao's eyes, as full as water, and she just looked at him straight.
She bit her lips stubbornly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
Jun Zechen's eyes sank slightly. He had questioned her like that, but she was still pretending to be weak in front of him.
"Then why did you go to Kunning Palace to look for the Queen Mother today? Isn't it for the sake of the royal heir?"
There was a hint of impatience in his tone.
"It is true that I went to Kunning Palace today because of the royal heir, but... it was the Empress who summoned me, so I had to go."
Su Jingyao explained softly, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness and pain.
There was a hint of unnaturalness in Jun Zechen's eyes, and he frowned slightly. Could it be that he really misunderstood her?
But in the past, his mother had never paid much attention to the affairs in his backyard.
When he married Ling Yue, he had brought Ling Yue to pay his respects to his mother, but her mother waved her hand and said that he could manage the affairs of the backyard on his own. She also said that dealing with the concubines in the harem every day was tiring enough and the Crown Princess did not need to visit her all the time.
Could it be that the Queen Mother didn't want to interfere in his backyard, but really disliked Ling Yue?
Su Jingyao had been in the Eastern Palace for only ten days when her mother summoned her in person. For her sake, the queen even sent her aunt Jinhua to the imperial study to let her father give her a lecture.
"What did you do in Kunning Palace?"
Jun Zechen's voice was much softer than before.
"I chatted with the Queen for a few words, and then... I returned to the palace."
Su Jingyao's eyes were a little evasive. She lowered her head slightly, and a few strands of hair fell and brushed her cheeks.
"I heard that you stayed in Kunning Palace for almost the entire afternoon. What did you say to my mother?" Jun Zechen stared at her and asked slowly.
The Queen Mother already disliked Ling Yue. If Su Jingyao pretended to be weak and complained again, he could almost guess that the Queen Mother would hate Ling Yue even more.
However, his mother and Ling Yue were both people he cherished, so he naturally did not want to see the relationship between them being so unharmonious.
"Your Highness, I really have never said anything to the Queen."
Su Jingyao opened her red lips slightly, her gentle voice mixed with a hint of helplessness, her pretty face full of earnestness.
Jun Zechen frowned slightly, feeling doubtful.
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes, as bright as glass, were like the stars in the midnight sky, full of sincerity, she stared at him intently, as if there were thousands of words in her eyes.
