Chapter 202 "Private Meeting"

After the empress did not see Qi Wanyin in the side hall, she did not send anyone to look for her.

Qi Wanyin drugged Su Jingxuan, so something must have happened in the process, and this accident happened when the maid beside Qi Wanyin was on her way to find her.

No matter what happened, as long as Qi Wanyin was not with Su Jingxuan, otherwise not only would the Queen not be able to give the Su family a satisfactory explanation, but the Qi family would even suffer great humiliation.

The Qi family agreed to include Qi Wanyin in the family tree out of her consideration. If they found out today that she, an unmarried girl, was in the same room with a man just after she returned to her ancestral home, where would the Qi family save their reputation?

The queen never imagined that Qi Wanyin, who usually looked well-behaved and sensible, would act so recklessly.

Just because the crown prince wouldn't let her enter the East Palace, she would resort to such unscrupulous means to climb up to another higher branch?

So when she claimed to like the prince, was it really the prince himself or his noble status that she liked?

When the queen thought of this, her face became even uglier, and her heart was filled with anger and disappointment.

He suppressed his anger, ordered people to find the Crown Prince and Su Jingyao, then with a stern face, ordered people to strictly surround the Qinghuan Palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave at will.

After everything was arranged, the Queen's expression regained some composure and she returned to the banquet.

On the other side, Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen from Tingyu Tower knew nothing.

After Su Jingyao entered, she went straight to the third floor under the instructions of the palace maid.

Jun Zechen was waiting upstairs.

After she went up to the third floor, she opened the door and walked in.

His bright eyes looked around, his face full of confusion, why is there no one here?

Su Jingyao took a few more steps forward, her skirt swaying gently with her steps.

His delicate brows wrinkled even tighter, and he looked around the house, but still didn't see anyone.

Jun Zechen, who heard her footsteps going upstairs, had already quietly hidden behind the door.

He held his breath and followed her quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a smile.

Su Jingyao looked puzzled and dissatisfied, "Where is the person?"

She snorted softly, stamped her feet coquettishly, turned around and was about to walk out.

As a result, when she turned around, she fell directly into Jun Zechen's arms.

"Yaoyao is becoming more proactive now and has learned how to throw herself into my arms."

Jun Zechen almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard her cute humming, but he held it back until she turned around and fell into his arms, then he couldn't help but tease her.

"Brother Zechen is waiting behind me on purpose."

Su Jingyao said this coquettishly, with a hint of complaint on her face.

"I am not like Master Qi and the Crown Prince, who can take the initiative to look for you. I can only think of ways to get Yaoyao to throw herself into my arms."

There was a hint of sourness in Jun Zechen's tone.

Su Jingyao looked up at him, but thought to herself, what he said is too sour, he is just like a green tea girl, please don't learn from her.

"I'm giving Brother Zechen a chance to meet other ladies. As soon as Brother Zechen arrived at the banquet, the ladies at the banquet looked at Brother Zechen with shining eyes."

"You can see the charm of Brother Zechen."

There was a playful look in her eyes.

Although he knew that she was just being nice, Jun Zechen couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

"Are Yaoyao's eyes shining?"

Su Jingyao raised her head and hooked her finger at him. Jun Zechen was confused, but he still bent down and moved closer to her obediently.

At this moment, their faces were so close that they could seem to feel each other's breathing clearly.

"Of course I am shining, because my eyes are filled with Brother Zechen. Did you see it? He is as dazzling as the sun."

Su Jingyao's voice is gentle and sweet, and her bright eyes seem to contain countless stars.

Jun Zechen's eyes suddenly flashed, and it felt like a deer was running around in his heart.

He had heard so many sweet words from her in his last life, and he thought he had become immune to them. But in this life, his heart was once again moved by the thirteen-year-old Yaoyao.

Jun Zechen felt his heart beating violently in his chest, roaring in his ears like a war drum.

If she wasn't so young, Jun Zechen really wanted to kiss her hard at this moment.

"Who taught you to say that, huh?"

He gently held her waist with his big hands and lifted her towards him.

"There's no need to teach me. I just said this out of my feelings when I was facing Brother Zechen. I never lie."

After Su Jingyao finished speaking, she blinked her big, Caroline eyes, a look full of sincerity.

"Little liar."

Jun Zechen gently pinched her pink face, then carried her to the meal that had been prepared for her and sat down together.

He was lied to in his last life, and he is being lied to in this life, but he just likes to listen.

"None of the dishes at the banquet are what you like. I have specially prepared your favorite soup dishes and flower dishes for you. Would you like to try them?"

As Jun Zechen spoke, he gently picked up a piece of exquisite dish with the chopsticks in his hand and placed it on the bowl in front of Su Jingyao.

Then he stared at Su Jingyao's face seemingly casually, and asked nonchalantly: "Maybe it won't be as good as Miaoyue next to you, but it's also different."

Su Jingyao's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, is Jun Zechen testing her? Is he trying to compete with her in acting skills?

Then he smiled and said, "How did Brother Zechen know that I like to eat flower meals and soup meals, and how did he know that there is a girl named Miaoyun who can cook by my side?"

Su Jingyao had a sweet smile on her face.

"I care about you, so I know everything."

He couldn't describe the feeling. He always felt that Yaoyao had memories of her past life just like him, but sometimes he thought that he was thinking too much.

If Yaoyao really has memories, then why did she hide it from herself?

The two of them had a warm and sweet meal on the third floor, and the air seemed to be filled with a sweet scent.

After finishing the meal, Jun Zechen held Su Jingyao affectionately to the table, and the two sat together.

Seeing that he had prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as some paints, Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Brother Zechen, are you going to paint?"

Jun Zechen nodded.

After everything was ready, he started painting. Su Jingyao watched from the side. She was also good at painting, but not as good as Jun Zechen.

Jun Zechen was a skilled painter, and he painted with great swiftness, and in about half an hour he had vividly depicted the entire banquet scene.

I don’t know if it’s because she is the only one in his eyes, so Su Jingyao stands out particularly in the whole picture.

Dressed in a misty purple robe, she looks like a fairy descending from the mortal world, detached from the world and independent. Her otherworldly temperament seems to penetrate the picture.

"How's my painting?"

Jun Zechen raised his chin slightly, as if expecting her compliment.

"Excellent, but isn't there something missing?"

Su Jingyao tilted her head, gently touched her chin with her slender fingers, and stared at the entire painting intently.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. "Brother Zechen, since we have already made a painting, how about writing a poem for it? That will make it perfect."

Jun Zechen placed his head affectionately on her shoulder, his left hand gently around her waist, his warm breath spraying on her neck.

"I'll charge you for writing poems. Have you decided what to give me?"

He said it with a hint of joking.

Su Jingyao turned her head to the side and quickly kissed him on the cheek, then lowered her head and said shyly, "Is it okay?"

After being reborn, he was rejected by her many times, so this one initiative of hers made Jun Zecheng very happy.

Even though it was just a light kiss on the cheek, it made his heart beat fast.

No matter whether it was her life as an old married couple in her previous life or her current naive appearance as a young girl, she could easily touch his heartstrings.

"There is no reason for me not to do what Yaoyao asks for."

Jun Zechen picked up the pen with his right hand, stared at the painting in thought for a long time, then slowly picked up the pen and began to write.

The purple skirt reflects her delicate face, and she is like a fairy in the banquet.

Her graceful demeanor captivates me, and her smile moves my heart.

Her eyebrows are full of affection, and her eyes are full of dreams.

My longing for you begins from now on, and my obsession will never end.

After Su Jingyao saw him finish writing, the smile on her face deepened. Who doesn’t like to be confessed to?

Jun Zechen hugged her and sighed in a pretentious manner.

"I wonder when I will be able to get a painting or a poem from Yaoyao."

Now think about the time in her last life when she tried to please him, how happy they were together painting, writing poetry, riding horses and shooting arrows.

Moreover, Junze Chengcai didn't believe that their previous sweetness was just a pretense by this woman.

I feel inexplicably nostalgic.

"It depends on how Brother Zechen performs."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A hint of displeasure instantly appeared on Jun Zechen's face.

The time I spend with Yaoyao is not much to begin with. After all, she is an unmarried lady and I may only see her once every ten days or half a month. This rare time alone was disturbed by someone.

After An Shun came in, Jun Zechen's eyes showed a hint of impatience.

"What is it?"

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has sent a palace maid to look for you. She is now outside Tingyu Tower."

An Shun lowered his head.

He didn't want to disturb His Highness and Miss Su's time alone, but since the people outside were the Empress's people, how could he not report them?

Jun Zechen was somewhat confused.

What does the Queen Mother want from him?

"Your Highness, there is more..."

An Shun spoke hesitantly, and from time to time he glanced at Miss Su who was sitting on His Highness's lap, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"The Queen seems to still be looking for Miss Su."

When Su Jingyao heard this, she was surprised for a moment, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Why did the Queen look for her?

She had a pretty good relationship with the Queen in her previous life, and she knew that the Queen was satisfied with her as her daughter-in-law.

Jun Zechen had already promised her not to take a concubine in this life.

If the Queen knew about her relationship with Jun Zechen at this time, she would probably think that she, a lady from a noble family, seduced the Prince before she even reached the age of marriage, and even deceived the Prince not to take a concubine.

After all, the most important thing in the queen's heart is her son.

Su Jingyao didn't want the Queen to have a bad impression of her, nor did she want Jun Zechen to disobey the Queen because of her. She never needed Jun Zechen to show how important she was in his heart by rebelling against the Queen.

So I always wanted to wait until I reached the age of 15 before announcing it to Jun Zechen.

Jun Zechen didn't care whether to let everyone know about their relationship in advance. He relied on the queen's love and thought that the queen would obey him in everything.

Just like the Ling Yue at that time.

"Brother Zechen, I don't want the Queen to find out..."

The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really the most difficult problem in the world.
