Chapter 206 Leaving the House

Almost a month has passed since I last met Jun Zechen at Lingyuan Temple.

Su Jingyao sat in front of the window, looking at the letter in her hand with worried eyes, her face full of worry and distress.

"If Yaoyao doesn't leave the house again, I will ask my father for permission to grant her marriage, so that she can come to the prince's house openly."

After reading the contents of the letter, Su Jingyao clenched her teeth.

When the emperor arranged a marriage for him, the empress sent him several maids, but he refused to accept them. The empress asked him why. Was he going to say that he was keeping his virginity for Su Jingyao?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Wouldn’t the Queen tear me apart?

Maybe it's not that exaggerated, but my original satisfaction level of 90 points with her may have to drop directly to 60 points, or even lower.

"Bastard, stinky man, straight man!" Su Jingyao couldn't help but mutter.

Then, in a rage, she wrote a letter directly: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can't you find a way to let me leave the house?!"

A few days later, Su Jingyao received an invitation from Princess Minghui!

After Su Jingyao walked out of the Su Mansion with Princess Minghui's invitation letter, she saw Princess Minghui's gorgeous carriage from a distance.

The palace maid beside her was guarding beside the carriage. When she saw Miss Su coming out, she hurried forward.

He said respectfully, "Miss Su, the princess is in the carriage, please get in."

As soon as Su Jingyao entered, she bowed and greeted.

Princess Minghui had a bandaged face.

"Get up and sit down."

She can't afford to offend the person in front of her now.

I really didn't expect that Su Jingyao would be favored by the emperor!

The reason why Princess Minghui invited Su Jingyao today was because her brother made a deal with her.

The emperor asked her to serve as a bridge between him and Su Jingyao in the future, so that Su Jingyao could leave the house through her.

In exchange, the emperor agreed to let Master Yan marry her when he returned to Beijing!

Although Princess Minghui was still angry that Su Jingyao did not give her face when she left the palace several times before.

But now think about it, it is because she has been favored by the emperor for a long time and will be his sister-in-law in the future, so she is so arrogant.

Then it seems reasonable that Su Jingyao didn't give her face.

After thinking about it, she decided not to care about it.

Su Jingyao sat aside, looking slightly embarrassed.

Her relationship with Princess Minghui was not harmonious before, and she never expected that Jun Zechen would directly ask Princess Minghui to pick her up.

Could it be that the Queen really didn't know? Su Jingyao kept wondering in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter could not be kept secret for long.

Forget it, just let it go and deal with it as it comes. If the empress knows about it, she will just try every possible way to please her mother-in-law.

Should I be able to handle it? As long as Jun Zechen doesn't cause trouble for her.

"Princess Minghui knows about what happened between me and the Crown Prince?" Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and asked softly.

"Yes, Miss Su is really good at hiding it."

Princess Minghui curled her lips and thought to herself, if I had known that she would be my future sister-in-law, I would never have dared to go against her.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, not even my mother."

Along the way, Su Jingyao and Princess Minghui were in a gloomy mood and did not say much.

After she arrived at the princess's mansion, she quietly got on the carriage sent by Jun Zechen from the back door of the mansion and finally arrived at the prince's mansion.

When Su Jingyao stepped into the study, Jun Zechen was sitting at the desk, busy with his work with full concentration.

He heard the noise, looked up, and when he saw it was her, he said directly, "Come here."

Su Jingyao walked over quickly and sat next to him obediently.

"Has Yaoyao never thought about me?"

If he hadn't urged her to leave the house and thought of a solution for her, she would have been happy in the house.

Su Jingyao held his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly, "No, I miss you very much."

Having not seen each other for a long time, he couldn't help but want to get close to her. Jun Zechen put his arms around her waist and held her directly on his lap.

"You have no conscience. You will have to leave the house once every two weeks. Let Minghui cover for you."

"What if someone finds out?"

"What should I do? If you find out, you can openly become my fiancée."

"I'm afraid the Queen doesn't like me."

Su Jingyao looked a little depressed.

"Why?"

If I marry her as the Crown Princess, my mother will be very satisfied. How could she not like her?

"If the Empress wants Brother Zechen to take a concubine, what will Brother Zechen do?"

Su Jingyao raised her eyes and looked at him straight, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Is that what you've been worrying about?"

Jun Zechen sighed helplessly and reached out to gently smooth her frown.

"Will you marry many women?"

"Of course not. I will take care of it with my mother. You are enough for my backyard."

"So don't be afraid, your mother won't make things difficult for you." Jun Zechen looked at her seriously.

Who would believe you if you didn't really love me in your last life.

Su Jingyao thought secretly in her heart, I'll just have to believe it for the rest of my life.

She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Okay then, I'll believe you for now."

In the days that followed, Su Jingyao used Princess Minghui as an excuse almost every time she met Jun Zechen, and the intervals between meetings were as long as half a month.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the fourteen-year-old Su Jingyao had grown from a little girl into a graceful young lady.

In the exquisite and luxurious room, the evening sunset shines through the window like a dream, gently spreading to every corner of the room.

On the bed, there was a sleeping beauty who looked like she had walked out of a painting, with skin as white as cream and a face of unparalleled beauty.

After Jun Zechen had almost finished reviewing today's memorials, he tiptoed into the room.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he walked over, sat down beside the bed, his eyes full of tenderness, and just looked at her quietly for a long time.

Jun Zechen touched her smooth cheek with the back of his hand.

Su Jingyao seemed to feel a little itchy, her brows slightly wrinkled, and she looked like she was about to wake up.

But it seemed that he didn't want to be disturbed from his sleep, so he simply pulled the quilt over his head and covered himself tightly.

"Are you still asleep? You're not going back to the Su Mansion today?"

Jun Zechen looked at her childish behavior and couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Jingyao was stunned for a moment under the quilt, then she reacted and quickly put down the quilt, revealing her head.

I looked out the window and it seemed to be quite late.

Su Jingyao, with a bit of coquettishness, rested her head on Jun Zechen's legs and hugged his waist with both hands.

"How come the sunset has come out?" There was a hint of complaint in her voice.

Jun Zechen gently stroked her long hair.

"How dare you ask? Can you sleep at night after sleeping for so long?"

"If you can't sleep, just read a book." Su Jingyao muttered.

"Don't hurt your eyes."

"Get up. After dinner, I will take you back to the Su Mansion."

Su Jingyao's eyes flickered, and then she said, "No need, I'll go back by myself. Isn't Brother Zechen very busy today?"

"While you were soundly asleep, I had already finished my work."

Jun Zechen said as he picked the person up.

Su Jingyao put her head on his shoulder, and Jun Zechen couldn't see her expression.

I don't want him to send me today...

Over the past year, Su Jingyao has been leaving the house once every half a month. After going out a few times, Su Jingyao keenly felt that someone was following her secretly.

Later, she specifically asked Li Jin to arrange for several martial arts masters to be by her side.

If she found someone following her, she would track them down secretly. In the end, she found out that it was someone from the Ye Mansion. It seemed that Ye Yaqin knew about the relationship between her and the prince.

When Su Jingyao returned home today, she made an appointment with Li Jin to ask about the situation.

It’s better not to let this jealous guy know.

As for Ye Yaqin, since it was impossible for her to enter the Eastern Palace, Su Jingyao didn't want to do anything to a little girl.

Every woman in the family has her own responsibilities, and so does Ye Yaqin.

If she could avoid becoming enemies with these women in this life, Su Jingyao didn't want to make things worse.

So she didn't tell Jun Zechen about this. If he knew about it, he would deal with it much more harshly than she did.

Jun Zechen carried her to the dining table, and the two began to enjoy their dinner sweetly.

"Brother Zechen, today Yinxue invited a few good friends from Beijing to watch a performance at Mofenglou. I will pass by there later and plan to go and support her before going home."

Su Jingyao blinked her bright big eyes and looked very well-behaved.

"So Brother Zechen doesn't have to see me off today."

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly.

Chu Yinxue is not being honest now. Over the past year or so, she has seen her brother staring blankly and grinning foolishly with a letter several times. She walked closer out of curiosity and saw that the beautiful handwriting was exactly Chu Yinxue's.

No one knew when the two of them broke the veil, but Chu Yinxue would find all kinds of excuses to go out and see her brother.

But they are much more innocent than Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen, and they will not meet privately in a deserted place.

Just like today, I gathered some young ladies and gentlemen from the capital to meet them in public.

I guess my brother is waiting for Chu Yinxue to reach the right age before letting mother propose marriage.

Chu Yinxue chose Mofenglou to invite these young ladies because Mofenglou is Su Jingyao's property.

The people invited by Chu Yinxue are among the best in the capital, which will be of great benefit to improving the status of Mo Fenglou.

Jun Zechen looked at her pretending to be good, and said nothing. Instead, he picked up a delicate dish and said, "Open your mouth."

Before Su Jingyao could react, she subconsciously opened her mouth and Jun Zechen fed her the flower meal.

Su Jingyao's eyes were full of confusion. She looked at him in confusion, as if asking: What's wrong?

Jun Zechen knew that she always ate slowly and could chew a mouthful of food dozens of times.

When you don't want to hear her talk, just let her eat.

Jun Zechen didn't dare to say that he knew her well, but he was very familiar with her deliberate innocent eyes and the obedient expression when she lied.

If she really had a date with Chu Yinxue, she would never have had this expression.
