Chapter 1: Marriage

This is an elegant women's room.

On the beauty couch by the window, a young girl was lying.

A closer look revealed that the girl was only wearing a smoky pink bellyband and a pair of white shorts.

The skin of the limbs and navel is exposed to the air.

At this moment, the warm and soft sunlight shines on her through the window, adding a touch of golden glow to her skin, which is as white as snow, flawless, smooth and delicate.

At this time, four maids were surrounding her.

Each of them held a delicate little jar in their hands, and from time to time they took out white ointment from the jar.

Carefully apply it on the girl's slender legs, slim arms, slender waist, cute and moist white feet, and ten pointed fingers like green onions.

One of the maids, Miaoyun, was particularly gentle in her movements. She had just completed the last step of the skin massage and her voice was soft.

"Miss, you have completed your skin care regimen for today. In one hour, you can go take a medicinal bath. Nanny Li is preparing it now."

Hearing this, the girl turned her head slightly with a smile on her face.

"Okay, you guys go out, I'll read for a while and come over when the time comes."

The girl's voice was soft and sweet. It was just a simple sentence, but it made one's bones go numb.

"Yes, miss."

The four maids put away the various tools and medicine jars and left the room.

At this moment, the woman's face can be seen clearly. Her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her eyes are like stars, her nose is as white as swan fat, her lips are red, her teeth are white, her hair is like clouds and her face is beautiful. She looks like a fairy who has descended to the earth.

A ray of sunlight shone on her face, making her complexion even more rosy than jade, her skin whiter than snow, as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, and as dazzling as the green waves of a lotus.

Su Jingyao slightly raised her scallion-like little hand and gently placed it in front of her eyes, skillfully blocking the light.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes as clear as autumn water.

After getting used to the light, she reached out, calmly picked up the veil placed beside her, and put it on with smooth movements.

Then, she lightly tapped the ground with her small feet and stood up from the beauty bed gracefully.

Then, she leisurely took out a book of poetry and walked gracefully towards the soft couch in the warm room.

She was half lying on the couch, her elbows resting on a specially made soft pillow, with a strand of black hair hanging down.

After coming to this world for fifteen years, Su Jingyao has completely gotten used to the ancient life and even enjoys it more than before.

The modern Su Jingyao is an orphan, she has no family but herself.

The environment she grew up in taught her that everything she desired could only be achieved through her own hard work.

So, in modern times, when she was a child, she devoted herself to her studies with full concentration. When she grew up, she carefully sculpted her appearance and abilities. She would persevere in doing anything that could improve the quality of her life.

Yes, she is a complete egoist.

Men or women, there is no difference to her.

They are all people who can be used.

As for how she came to this world, Su Jingyao still can't figure it out.

At first, because of the overwhelming pressure from work and her boyfriend's pressure to get married, she randomly picked up a sweet story that night to kill time.

However, in the end, the heaviness of reality once again crushed the beauty of love.

Su Jingyao felt deeply deceived. She originally just wanted to relax through sweet stories, but she never expected that the further she read, the more she could not get rid of the troubles in reality.

Then what's the point of her reading this book?

In anger, she immediately wrote a long review of several hundred words, criticizing the author.

Just like that, I felt a little relieved and then fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she had become the infant daughter of the Shangshu Ling of the Jun Dynasty, and she had the same name as her.

Five years ago, she accidentally learned from her father that the current emperor had appointed the Queen's legitimate son Jun Zechen as the Crown Prince.

Only then did she realize.

Isn’t Jun Zechen the hero in the novel she has read?

It turns out that she, Su Jingyao, was the cannon fodder who interfered with the relationship between the male protagonist Jun Zechen and the female protagonist Ling Yue.

Haha, that’s really interesting.

Jun Zechen was canonized as the crown prince at the age of fifteen. At the age of seventeen, he went to the battlefield and met Ling Yue, the daughter of General Ling.

Ling Yue grew up outside the Great Wall. He rode a horse, was carefree and unrestrained, and had a simple mind.

The prince, who grew up in the palace, was deeply attracted by her unique personality.

After returning from a great victory, the eighteen-year-old prince married the seventeen-year-old Ling Yue.

Moreover, he made a promise to the Crown Princess: "From the three thousand rivers, I will only take one scoop of water."

However, two years passed and Ling Yue still had no children. The empress was dissatisfied and ordered the prince to marry the Shangshu Ling's daughter Su Jingyao as his concubine in order to prolong the royal heir.

In the original text, when Su Jingyao got married, the prince and the princess were in the prime of their relationship.

Su Jingyao has been spoiled and gentle since childhood.

After the marriage, the prince refused to touch her, causing her to be ridiculed in the Eastern Palace.

She watched helplessly as her husband hated her, while the Empress kept asking her when she would get pregnant.

Not only that, the servants in the East Palace also plotted against her in private.

In the end, she died of depression, her beauty faded.

When Su Jingyao first saw this, she thought the male lead was quite good and he really did stay with the female lead for the rest of her life.

However, after the hero ascended the throne, the queen still failed to give birth to an heir.

The subsequent plot is naturally about the male protagonist choosing a concubine.

How could the empress, who has always been protected by the hero, be a match for those concubines?

In the end, the hero no longer had the affection he had when he was young for the heroine.

How ridiculous.

However, this Su Jingyao is no longer the same Su Jingyao.

No matter what means she uses, her life will surely soar to the top of 90,000 miles!

Since the heroine's world is destined to be dark, Su Jingyao should let her see her true and ugly face in advance!

Fortunately, Su Jingyao's identity is really good. Her mother is her father Su Hongyu's legal wife, and the two of them are in harmony with each other. She also has a biological brother who has just passed the age of 20.

The reason why it is said that her mother and father were barely in harmony with each other was because in the original text, at this time, her father was extremely fond of Aunt Xu.

Since she was ten years old, Su Jingyao asked her mother to prepare various skin care equipment and herbs for her. She also had dozens of maids to apply lotions and massage her every day.

No matter what era you live in, appearance is a sharp sword that does not shed blood for women.

And her methods and means of seducing men would always be passed on to her mother subtly.

for example.

"Mother, Daddy is at Aunt Xu's place again today. The script says that even if you are married, you should always keep things fresh. You should change into this dress quickly. It will definitely make you look stunning."

"Mother, don't think about father for everything. You are good at poetry and lyrics, so why bother to please father? You should express your own opinions and ideas."

"Mother, today is the anniversary of your marriage to father. Please prepare a surprise for father."

"Mother, it was Daddy who was wrong today. You should show your anger on your face. Next time Daddy comes, just turn him away."

“…”

Over the past few years, Su Jingyao has been subtly influencing her mother. She would never allow a concubine to surpass her mother.

Nowadays, her father probably loves her mother very much.

She could act coquettishly and flirtatiously, talk to him about poetry and life, and manage the household and backyard for him.

When such a perfect woman appears in front of a man, all true love is nothing but a passing cloud.

Su Jingyao, you must be a perfect woman in the eyes of a man.

Su Jingyao flipped through the pages of the book in her hand. She had been reading this book of poetry since she was a child and had read it five times. But every time she read it, she felt that each poem represented a kind of life and contained a kind of emotion.

She could not live up to the lofty sentiments of those poets, nor could she achieve their carefree and carefree attitude, let alone comprehend the ultimate tenderness and affection in the poems.

She only knows: only by putting yourself first can you find peace.

But it doesn't matter, she can pretend.

The soft sunlight shining through the window interweaves with the smoke rising from the incense burner, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Su Jingyao looked at the time and slowly got up. It was time to take a medicinal bath.

She put down the book in her hand and walked slowly towards the inner attic of the lady's room.

"Miss, the medicine soup is ready. Please change your clothes."

Su Jingyao nodded, raised her bare hands, untied her dress, and it fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, you can see the girl's skin is as white as flowing clouds, her feet are as slender as bamboo shoots, and she is extremely beautiful.

Su Jingyao lightly lifted her jade feet and stepped into the bathtub made of white jade. Hot steam was rising from the bathtub, filled with a light and elegant fragrance mixed with a hint of medicine.

This was a recipe specially prepared for her by a female doctor who she had asked her mother to spend a large sum of money to hire from the public and who specialized in treating women's health.

It contains flowers that can nourish the skin, such as roses, jasmine, and lilies, as well as rare medicinal materials that can nourish the body and beautify the skin, such as angelica, astragalus, ganoderma lucidum, and snow lotus.

The current medicinal soup is made with the help of precious spices unique to the female doctor. It takes time, effort and money to make it every day.

But all efforts are rewarded.

Su Jingyao caressed her own fair skin and bones, and even she couldn't let it go, let alone the man.

As usual, Nanny Li came to Su Jingyao and started to massage her.

Her massage was different from the ones performed by the maids before. Not only had she learned it from a female doctor, but the positions were also different.

Mouth, chest, waist, hips, **.

Nanny Li's hands were gentle yet powerful, and she moved skillfully over Su Jingyao's body.

A blush gradually appeared on Su Jingyao's face, her eyes were charming and her gaze was full of amorous feelings.

Even though Nanny Li saw the young lady's charming behavior every day, she would lose her mind from time to time.

After soaking in the hot spring for two quarters of an hour, Su Jingyao seemed to have lost all her strength. She lay on the edge of the bathtub, panting.

After she calmed down, she walked out of the bathtub with the help of her nanny.

The jade-white, smooth and delicate body was completely exposed in an instant.

The nanny gently wiped the water droplets off the young lady's body, then took out the dress and carefully put it on her.

Throughout the whole process, Su Jingyao was like a delicate flower, being carefully cared for and nurtured.

Su Jingyao had just finished dressing up when Miaoxia hurried in, sounding a little anxious.

"Miss, please go to the hall quickly. An imperial edict has arrived."

Su Jingyao raised her slender eyebrows slightly.

"Okay, I'll go over there now."

She secretly thought that this imperial decree must be to give her to the prince as his concubine.

When Su Jingyao arrived at the hall, Eunuch Dehai, who was beside His Majesty, had already arrived.

When Su Hongyu saw her, he hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, come here quickly."

"I, your humble servant Jingyao, am late. I hope you will forgive me, Your Excellency."

Su Jingyao wore a playful and graceful green dress, which made her look even more ethereal and like a fairy from heaven.

Even Eunuch Dehai, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the palace, could not help but be stunned by her appearance.

The Shangshu Ling really gave birth to a good daughter.

"It doesn't matter. I came in a hurry and didn't inform you in advance. Since Miss Su is here, you can accept the order."

After Dehai finished speaking, everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, with their foreheads resting on the backs of their folded hands on the ground, with an attitude of great respect.

Immediately afterwards, the sharp voice of Eunuch Dehai rang out in the hall.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:

I have inherited the destiny of Heaven and rule over the world. I care about the country and the people and worry about who will take over the throne.

Today, there is the Shang Shu Ling's legitimate daughter, Su Jingyao, who is outstanding in appearance and character, and has both moral integrity and talent. She is truly a model of a noble family.

I consider her virtuous and kind, and think she is suitable for a good match, so I appoint Su Jingyao as the Crown Prince's Consort to assist the Eastern Palace.

Half a month later, the wedding ceremony will be held with a royal grand ceremony to demonstrate my great favor.

I hope the two of them will treat each other with respect, give birth to a son soon, and continue the royal bloodline.

I appreciate it! "

"Your humble servant, your humble servant, accepts your order."

After Eunuch Dehai left, Su Jingyao's mother Liu Jingxian looked sad.

"Master, I have already chosen a husband for Yaoyao. Yaoyao is your and my beloved daughter. I want her to be someone's legal wife, but now..."

Although Liu Jingxian is thirty-three years old, her face is still soft and delicate. Su Hongyu felt a little reluctant when he heard her express her concerns about her daughter.

But this is an imperial decree and cannot be disobeyed.

"Of course I know that. Moreover, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a very close relationship. I'm afraid Yaoyao will suffer some grievances if she marries him."

As a secluded woman, Liu Jingxian naturally did not know about the prince's romantic affairs, but Su Hongyu knew clearly that when the prince went to war, he fell in love with the daughter of General Ling. If the prince's wife had not been infertile, His Majesty would not have given Yaoyao to the prince now.

Ever since the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess, he has been unwilling to take a concubine, but now his Yaoyao wants to be the first to step forward.

Su Hongyu was somewhat worried that the prince would vent his anger on Yaoyao.

I can't tell you everything now, otherwise my wife will be even more sad.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I'm willing to marry the Crown Prince."

"Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me, I will behave myself and live well in the Eastern Palace, and won't make my parents worry."

When Liu Jingxian heard her daughter's sensible words, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mother should have arranged a marriage for you earlier, so you wouldn't be forced to marry now, with no choice. It's all because mother wanted to keep you for another year."

"Mother, the prince is a man of great appearance and elegance. Although my daughter will not be his principal wife after she marries him, she will also be a member of the royal family. In the future, our family will also be royal relatives. My daughter is not sad, and mother, please don't be sad for her, okay?"

Su Hongyu also felt sorry for his wife's sadness and tears, so he gently held her in his arms and his eyes fell on Su Jingyao.

"Yaoyao, the Su family will always be your support. If you need anything after you get married, remember to write to tell dad and mom, don't keep it to yourself."

"Okay, Daddy and Mommy are the best. I'll remember this."
