Chapter 187 Double Rebirth 2
In the carriage, Su Jingyao sat upright on one side, her back straight, her pale face still showing the reservedness of meeting a stranger.
Jun Zechen's eyes were filled with undisguised possessiveness. No matter whether she had any memories of them in the future or not, she was his, forever.
"Miss Su, do you have a man you like?" Jun Zechen suddenly asked.
Don't miss any subtle changes on her face.
Su Jingyao's eyes widened in surprise and she quickly raised her head, her eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.
"I seldom go out, and have never seen many men. Besides, I am still young, and I don't know what love is."
Her voice became lower and lower, and her small hands unconsciously tugged at the handkerchief in her hands, as if she didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would ask such an inappropriate question.
Seeing her so shy and nervous, Jun Zechen thought she was so cute that he couldn't help but want to tease her.
Was Yaoyao like this when she was a child?
She's so adorable. Jun Zechen couldn't suppress the urge to caress her.
"Since Miss Su doesn't have a man she likes, are you willing to be my Crown Princess?"
In a few months, he would go to the frontier to fight, and of course he wanted to keep his wife tightly by his side. He didn't want her to be kidnapped by someone else when he came back.
Jun Zechen knew how popular she was in the aristocratic family.
Su Jingyao was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks turned red instantly.
"Your Highness, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. I, a servant, cannot make the decision."
There was obvious panic in her voice and she lowered her head even more, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The little girl was still too shy, so Jun Zechen simply waved his hand and decisively picked up the shy little girl and put her on his lap.
Su Jingyao was frightened by the sudden action, her beautiful eyes filled with fear.
She bit her red lips and said coquettishly, "Let me go. I never thought that His Highness would be such a pervert!"
"I fell in love with Miss Su at first sight. Tomorrow I will ask my father, the emperor and my mother for permission to make Miss Su my fiancée."
Jun Zechen hugged her tightly, making her unable to move, and his words were as domineering as ever.
"So let me hug you."
He put his arms around her waist, put his head on her shoulders, and took a deep breath.
He was feeling her breath, feeling her presence.
Jun Zechen finally saw his Yaoyao again, and his whole heart seemed to be filled.
Su Jingyao, however, was very upset.
She's only eleven years old, what a pervert!
Jun Zechen hugged her for a while, and then felt warm water droplets dripping on the back of his hand.
Are they her tears?!
Jun Zechen was startled at this and quickly turned her head to look at her.
"What's wrong? Don't cry."
"I...I'm scared..." Su Jingyao sobbed.
How could she not be scared when a man she had only met once came up to her and hugged her so frivolously?
"Don't you want to be my Crown Princess?"
Jun Zechen frowned slightly, but spoke in a gentle tone. He stretched out his fingers and gently wiped away her tears that kept rolling down.
“I haven’t grown up yet.”
Su Jingyao looked at him aggrievedly.
Jun Zechen chuckled, his laughter full of doting.
"I will wait until you grow up and marry you."
It's just a matter of stamping it first. His people will naturally be protected under his wings.
"Your Highness has never known me, how can you so casually say you want to marry me?"
Su Jingyao raised her head and looked straight at him with confusion and uneasiness in her eyes.
"I am not understanding you now, am I not?"
Jun Zechen's eyes were full of patience and concentration.
"Your Highness hugged me today. If the news gets out, my reputation will be ruined. Father and mother will also be angry and say that I have brought disgrace upon the Su family. I grew up in a concubine's room and have never been so intimate with a man."
"It won't be spread. I won't let Yaoyao's reputation suffer any loss. I'm the only one who can hug you."
"But Your Highness has never asked me whether I like Your Highness." Su Jingyao said dissatisfiedly.
"You are still young and can be easily deceived by other men. From now on, just look at me. I will treat you well for the rest of your life and you will like me."
Jun Zechen knew that every year during the Flower Festival, she would be followed by many young men from aristocratic families, all of whom were in love with her. Now that he was reborn, he naturally couldn't let her have anyone in her heart.
She married him because of the imperial decree. Jun Zechen didn't know whether she had liked any other man before. The only person he remembered was the son of Marquis Wu'an.
He is the liar.
The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth twitched.
Jun Zechen then coaxed her and asked, "What kind of man do you like?"
"Something good-looking that can protect me."
"Whatever Yaoyao likes, I will become that person."
"When you grow up, I will marry you, and only you."
Jun Zechen said this in a decisive tone.
"Your Highness is lying, you are the prince..."
As she spoke, the little girl couldn't stop her tears from falling, and the tears flowed across her pink cheeks.
"I am the crown prince. I can do whatever I want."
Jun Zechen's tone became softer and softer. He held her in his arms, trying to give her some comfort.
"Your Highness, I am still young now. I still have four years to go before I can reach the age of marriage. During these four years, Your Highness will meet many women. I cannot believe that Your Highness will still like me four years from now."
She kept her head down while speaking, her voice soft and sticky.
Jun Zechen was speechless for a moment. Yaoyao's worry now was just like when he said that he cared about her the most and not Ling Yue. No matter what he said, he could not get her trust.
This life is a rebirth given to him by God, and he only wants her.
After he had the memory of his past life some time ago, he couldn't wait to find a reason to come to the Su Mansion. When he saw her today and knew that she had no memory of her past life, he felt a little lost.
But being able to watch her grow up, Jun Zechen felt that he should be content.
Just now, the two of them were sitting in the carriage, and her small body was sitting obediently on the side. Jun Zechen couldn't help but want to get close to her.
"It doesn't matter. I will prove it to you in the next few years."
"Then could your highness not ask for the imperial decree for marriage?"
Jun Zechen looked puzzled, "Why?"
"I'm afraid that His Highness will no longer like me in a few years... I want to find a husband who loves me."
Su Jingyao lowered her head and her voice became quieter and quieter.
It turns out that she has wanted to find someone who loves her since she was a child. Then when she married into the Eastern Palace in her last life, was she even more afraid and terrified?
Thinking of this, Jun Zechen felt more fond of her.
When she first entered the East Palace, Jun Zechen knew how much he had gone too far, and that what this woman wanted most was his favoritism, but he realized it only much later.
But what made Jun Zechen sigh was that fortunately she knew how to fight and compete, and was not a woman who would sit and wait for death.
Even if she married him who didn't love her at first, she would definitely try her best to make him fall in love with her. Jun Zechen was also very lucky for her intelligence and courage.
The carriage soon arrived at the Prince's Palace.
Su Jingyao got off the carriage before him. In front of outsiders, the two of them still maintained proper etiquette. Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, showing the woman's modesty and dignity.
Jun Zechen, on the other hand, looked stern and majestic.
After he had the memory of his previous life, he immediately used the memory of his previous life to ask the people of Yulong City to send butterfly carp. This gave him a reason to go to Su Mansion and test whether Yaoyao had the same memory as him.
It doesn't matter if there are no memories, he will create sweeter memories for them.
Su Jingyao followed him to the pond in the Prince's Mansion.
There are several butterfly carps in it. When they swim, their fins spread out like petals. They are graceful, colorful and very beautiful.
Her eyes sparkled instantly.
He was surprised and said, "Your Highness, this fish is even more beautiful than described in the book."
"Does Yaoyao like it?"
Jun Zechen turned his head and looked at her tenderly.
"like."
Su Jingyao nodded lightly, with the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a sweet smile.
"Since Yaoyao likes these butterfly carps, I will have someone send them to Su's mansion later."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Jingyao is not a polite person either.
Originally, after watching the butterfly carp, she wanted to go home early and didn't want to stay in the Prince's Mansion all the time, but Jun Zechen insisted that Su Jingyao stay with him when he was dealing with memorials in the afternoon.
Su Jingyao tried to refuse, but Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes with a stern look, threatening her with his authority as the crown prince.
Su Jingyao curled her lips helplessly.
Forget it, just play with him.
In the study, Jun Zechen sat upright in front of the desk.
Su Jingyao sat quietly on his left, holding a book in her hand, looking a little absent-minded.
Maybe it was because I was young, but as I watched, my eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably, and then I fell asleep without realizing it.
Jun Zechen rested the person on his legs.
Looking down at her tender but delicate little face, an extremely gentle smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
In this life we have more time to love each other, and in this life I will protect you better.
Jun Zechen stretched out the back of his hand, gently stroked her smooth and delicate face, and gently moved the loose hair on her face.
He stared at her like that for quite a while, with affection and love in his eyes.
Since he was appointed as the crown prince, one third of the memorials from his father were given to him to handle. Moreover, during this period, the other brothers were also secretly preparing to make moves. This was almost the busiest time for Jun Zechen.
In a few months, the barbarians outside the Great Wall will launch a war against the monarchy. He is prepared to take precautions in advance, so he will set out for the Great Wall in advance.
This expedition is inevitable. Only in this way can he hold the military power in his hands and other princes will not make any demands on him.
Jun Zechen turned his gaze away from the sleeping girl and focused again on the memorials that needed to be reviewed.
Time passed slowly and soon the sun set.
Jun Zechen called her up.
Su Jing opened her eyes, still with confusion and sleepiness in them. Perhaps it was because she had lived with him for a lifetime and had developed unconditional trust in him, that was why she slept so soundly.
"I'll take you back."
"Um."
Su Jingyao's voice was soft and tender, like someone just waking up.
Jun Zechen was already very tall and straight at the age of sixteen, while Su Jingyao was less than 160 cm at the age of eleven, and looked extremely petite in front of him.
It was almost to his chest.
He picked her up and immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't do this in front of outsiders. This is our little secret, okay?"
Jun Zechen's tone was like one who was teasing a child, full of temptation.
Su Jingyao nodded blankly, her eyes still a little confused.
"Do you know my name?"
Jun Zechen looked down at the little person in his arms.
Su Jingyao lay on his shoulder and shook her head.
Pretend you don't know.
"Jun Zechen."
Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes and called sweetly, "Brother Zechen."
"Well, you are very good. You can tell me whatever you like and want in the future. This is my token. You can come to the Prince's Mansion anytime, understand?"
Jun Zechen said as he placed the token representing his identity into her hand.
Su Jingyao put the token into her arms without hesitation, "Thank you, Brother Zechen."
It’s great to be a kid, and it’s fun to trick Jun Zecheng.
When he comes back from the frontier next time, I will definitely let him experience what it means to chase a wife.
Who made her try to please him all her life? Humph.
