Chapter 190 The Man in the Carriage
Su Jingyao looked at him motionlessly, her eyes clear and innocent, like a pool of clear spring water.
"Brother Zechen, why are you here?"
Su Jingyao opened her mouth slightly.
Then she walked in relaxedly, folded her hands, bowed to him, and sat aside.
Jun Zechen waved his hand, domineeringly yet gently holding the person back on his lap.
"Why are you attending the banquet?"
He pursed his lips tightly and looked unhappy.
Jun Zechen remembered that Yaoyao almost never attended such banquets in her previous life.
Could it be that this woman has recovered her memory but is deliberately lying to him, or even wants to leave him and be with another man?
Jun Zechen stared at her closely, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"It was my mother who asked me to come. It was because Brother Zechen sent me so many gifts that my mother asked me to get to know more young men and young ladies around me."
Su Jingyao twisted the corner of her clothes with her little hands, feeling a little aggrieved.
She is very familiar with it.
"I'm giving you a gift, why does Madam Su want you to meet another man?"
Jun Zechen looked a little ugly.
Shouldn't Mrs. Su be happy about this?
He is powerful, handsome, and loves Yaoyao so much. What could Mrs. Su be dissatisfied with?
"Are you afraid that I will be deceived by Brother Zechen? I have already said that I am still young..."
Su Jingyao's voice became smaller and smaller, like a wronged kitten. She drooped her eyelashes, hiding the emotions in her eyes, and did not dare to look at him.
When Jun Zechen heard her words, he suddenly understood.
Indeed, she was still a child. In Mrs. Su's eyes, she had only met Yaoyao once.
Even though Yaoyao was born delicate, beautiful and lovable since childhood, it was extremely abnormal for him, as a prince, to have other thoughts about a young girl.
"Mrs. Su has misunderstood me. I am very serious about Yaoyao."
Jun Zechen's expression softened a little, and he reached out and gently stroked her hair, very gently.
Seeing that his expression was no longer so stern and there was a bit more warmth in his eyes, Su Jingyao placed her head affectionately on his shoulder and put her arms around his neck.
She said softly, "Yaoyao believes in Brother Zechen. I like all the gifts Brother Zechen sent me."
"Well, as long as Yaoyao is obedient, I will send all the girls that Yaoyao likes to you."
Jun Zechen raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of doting.
"Am I not obedient?"
Su Jingyao raised her head and blinked her big eyes, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"From now on, if Madam Su asks you to attend these banquets, you must refuse. Do you understand?"
Jun Zechen lifted her chin with one hand, his eyes domineering.
"Why?"
Su Jingyao wrinkled her nose and wrinkled her little face, obviously dissatisfied with this.
"Why did those two men just now send you here? Why do they keep sticking to you?"
As a man, how could Jun Zechen not see the explicit looks the two men gave her, clearly indicating that they had some dirty thoughts about her.
A chill welled up in Jun Zechen's eyes.
Besides, wasn’t that Si Nanyu the man who had accompanied her to hang paper ribbons during the Flower Festival?
"I just met Master Yan and Master Si today. I don't like them. Brother Zechen, don't worry about it." Su Jingyao comforted him.
"I don't like men getting close to you."
Jun Zechen held her in his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, with a strong possessiveness.
In a few days, he will set out for the frontier.
Originally I had just found some time today and was very happy to see her before leaving, as I won't be able to see her for a long time afterwards.
Unexpectedly, she came to the outskirts of Beijing to attend a banquet hosted by Miss Ye.
Jun Zechen naturally knew the purpose of the noble families holding these banquets, which was nothing more than to allow the young men and women of the noble families in the capital to get to know each other and prepare for future marriages.
Every year, Jun Zechen receives a lot of such invitations, but he has no interest in them and rejects them all without hesitation.
He would never attend such parties before, and even less so now that she was with him.
He was hers and she was his, so naturally he didn't want her to attend such a party and give other men the opportunity to approach her.
"But if mother wants me to participate, I won't refuse. I don't want to make mother sad."
Jun Zechen's face froze.
Su Jingyao hurriedly continued: "But apart from Brother Zechen, I won't get close to other men."
She wrapped her arms around his waist, her voice sweet and soft, and she rubbed against his arms like a little kitten.
Since she has the memory of her past life, she definitely doesn't want to repeat the path she has already walked.
It's also a good thing to make some friends and expand your social circle in this life.
In her previous life, she had been lacking love and a sense of security due to her modern experiences.
She only believes in herself and tries her best to take control of her own destiny.
But it was also in her previous life that she was spoiled by Jun Zechen all her life. It is undeniable that Jun Zechen's deep and firm love, like the warm sunshine in winter, made her feel truly warm.
It was also because of his love that she realized that she could really trust someone and put the rest of her life in his hands, instead of fighting alone on the battlefield of life.
She never believed in love, but when she was surrounded by his unwavering love, Su Jingyao felt that her life was fulfilled.
Perhaps, people who grow up in an environment full of love will really become kind.
Su Jingyao has always felt that she is selfish and cold-hearted, and a complete bad person.
In this life, she wants to try to be a good person.
After hearing what she said, Jun Zechen frowned, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with this answer.
But looking at her cute and naive appearance, I really couldn't bear to force her.
"In three days, I will leave the capital."
"Where is Brother Zechen going?"
Su Jingyao was a little surprised.
Although she knew that he would go to the frontier to lead troops in a while, this time it seemed to be a little earlier than in the previous life.
"Go to the frontier and lead troops to attack the barbarians."
Jun Zechen exudes an innate kingly aura.
Su Jingyao, who was originally leaning on him, suddenly stood up.
Her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with worry, and her little hands unconsciously grasped his sleeves.
"But war is dangerous."
Jun Zechen stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and pity.
His Yaoyao was really innocent and adorable when she was little. In this life, he would never let her experience the cold treatment she had received in the East Palace before, nor would he let her suffer any harm.
"Yaoyao believes in me. I will triumph because I am waiting for Yaoyao to grow up and marry her."
Only by gaining military power and holding power in your hands can you protect the people you want to protect and do whatever you want.
Su Jingyao nodded gently.
Jun Zechen has the memory of his previous life, so nothing should happen to him even if he goes to war. Su Jingyao doesn't worry too much about this.
As for Ling Yue...
Su Jingyao believed that Jun Zechen would not treat Ling Yue well. It should be said that Jun Zechen now would not treat any woman other than her well.
Moreover, during the time when Jun Zechen is not in the capital, no one will be watching over her all the time. This is a good opportunity for her to make some friends. Su Jingyao has never had any friends in her modern life or in her previous life.
This time, she wanted to try a change.
The carriage drove smoothly all the way from the outskirts of Beijing to the Su Mansion. Su Jingyao nestled in Jun Zechen's arms and fell asleep soon.
Jun Zechen lowered his eyes and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, her eyelashes curled, her breathing steady, and her pink little mouth slightly pouting.
I just feel that this moment is quiet and beautiful, and the years are peaceful.
When they were almost at the Su Mansion, Jun Zechen looked at her sweet sleeping face and an impulse surged in his heart.
He slowly lowered his head, wanting to kiss her before waking her up.
However, when he was about to touch her lips, he hesitated, and finally the gentle kiss only fell on her smooth forehead.
She is still a child and should wait.
Then, Jun Zechen stretched out his finger, poked her little face, and said softly: "We have arrived at the Su Mansion."
Jingyao was awakened by his actions and slowly opened her hazy eyes, with a hint of sleepiness still in them.
Realizing that they had arrived home, she prepared to get off Jun Zechen.
"Goodbye, Brother Zechen."
Her voice was soft and lazy, as if she had just woken up, as if she was holding a piece of sweet candy in her mouth.
Jun Zechen did not loosen his hands around her waist.
"During this period of isolation, no man is allowed to get close to you, understand?"
Perhaps it was because of my appearance that changed Yaoyao's original life trajectory. Now Yaoyao has started to attend banquets held by aristocratic families before she even reached the age of 15.
She would definitely meet many men at the banquet. Plus, she was still young and simple-minded. Jun Zechen was really worried that she would accidentally fall in love with other men.
If that really happened, what would he do?
"I promised Brother Zechen, and I won't break my promise."
Su Jingyao raised her head, a serious look on her face.
She even raised a little hand, made a "swear" gesture, and said solemnly: "I swear."
"If I come back and find that Yaoyao is with another man, I will directly abduct Yaoyao to the prince's mansion, understand?"
There was an unquestionable threat in Jun Zechen's tone.
"Got it, Brother Zechen, do you know that you are very nagging?"
Su Jingyao wrinkled her nose and made a face at him.
After saying this, she took advantage of the moment he was stunned to nimbly get off him, then lifted her skirt and quickly got off the carriage like a happy little bird.
Jun Zechen was speechless for a moment because of her words, and he couldn't go out to bring her back. After all, he couldn't let too many people know about the relationship between him and her right now.
I could only grit my teeth in anger.
Is he wordy?!
This was the first time someone dared to describe him like this. Everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Prince was taciturn, cold and unkind. But she, such a heartless little girl, really didn't know how to appreciate the blessing she had.
When he returns from outside the Great Wall, he will tie her to his side every day and never let her out of his sight.
