Chapter 21 Flirting

Yude Hall.

After Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen finished their meal, they went to the study together.

Jun Zechen ordered someone to place a delicate small table nearby.

Su Jingyao sat beside him, with a collection of poems on her left hand, looking at the poems intently, and holding a brush in her right hand, copying each stroke carefully on the rice paper.

Her eyes were focused and gentle, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she blinked gently from time to time. Her red lips were slightly pursed, with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, and she seemed to be completely immersed in the world of poetry.

The two of them were writing in the study, the atmosphere was peaceful and warm.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, half of the Xu hour had passed.

Jun Zechen put down the pen in his hand, slowly stood up, and walked behind Su Jingyao with steady steps.

He bent down slightly, and his deep and magnetic voice echoed above Su Jingyao's head: "Do you like the poet Feng Menglong so much?"

Su Jingyao heard his voice, raised her head slightly, and looked at him with clear eyes, "I like some of his poems, they make sense."

For example, what she has copied on paper now, every sentence is a famous saying of the time.

"There are times when people go against the will of heaven, but heaven will never leave them without a way out."

"Good people will be saved by good people, and evil people will be punished by evil people."

"It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Each of us should look back at the past."

"......"

These are all familiar poems. The more times you read them, the more you will understand them.

However, Jun Zechen looked at her meaningfully, and his eyes seemed to contain some deep meaning.

"Yaoyao, have you read all of Feng Menglong's poems?"

Su Jingyao was slightly stunned and looked at him with some confusion.

"I have read almost all of them. There is a complete collection of Feng Menglong's poems in my father's study. What's wrong with that?"

Jun Zechen smiled slightly and did not answer her question.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and his slender and powerful fingers quickly grasped Su Jingyao's slender waist, and picked her up gently but unexpectedly.

Su Jingyao screamed with a hint of panic and anger in her voice, and subconsciously hugged Jun Zechen's neck.

Jun Zechen held her in his arms, and after a slight shake, he carried her horizontally and walked slowly into the bedroom.

The pen in Su Jingyao's hand fell instantly, making a slight sound. She tightly wrapped her hands around Jun Zechen's neck.

Then, her little hand gently patted Jun Zechen's chest like a soft petal, and her voice was soft and delicate, with a hint of blame, "Your Highness, you scared me."

The voice did not have any intimidation, but instead sounded more like coquettishness.

Jun Zechen looked down at her from above. This little woman was well-raised.

Her skin is as white and smooth as mutton-fat jade. No matter what you do on her, it feels like you are creating a work of art.

Su Jingyao looked into his ink-black eyes, and his eyebrows were already stained with strong desire.

She didn't understand. They were just discussing poetry, so how could this man's desire be aroused suddenly?

Every time the two of them did something intimate, Jun Zechen couldn't help but want to take a closer look at her, as if no matter how much he looked at her, it was never enough.

Today, when he heard about the poet Feng Menglong from the little woman again, he could hardly suppress the impulse in his heart.

He wanted to tease her and see her blush.

It must be absolutely beautiful.

Su Jingyao's small hands with pink nails like scallions gently rested on the man's broad shoulders.

Her deer-like eyes were filled with panic and helplessness as she stared at him.

"Your Highness..."

There was a hint of timidity and doubt in her voice.

Jun Zechen asked again, "Do you like Feng Menglong's poems?"

There was a hint of inquiry and amusement in his eyes.

Su Jingyao didn't understand why he was so obsessed with this, and the man's tone at this moment made her feel that he had some bad intentions.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, like a flower swaying in the wind, with a hint of shyness and tenderness.

Jun Zechen chuckled, and there seemed to be some kind of magic in his laughter that made Su Jingyao's heart tremble.

"I also like Feng Menglong's poem, 'Holding hands and wrists, I enter the gauze curtains, smiling shyly and blowing out the lights.' Yaoyao, tell me, what's the next line?"

His voice was low and magnetic, as if whispering in her ear.

After Su Jingyao heard what he said, her face instantly turned red, like a ripe cherry.

Her eyelashes trembled violently and she was in a state of panic.

Looking at her expression, Jun Zechen naturally knew that this little woman must have read this poem.

He lowered his head and placed a warm kiss on her fair neck as light as a feather, igniting a fire wherever it touched.

Then, the man's deep and charming voice rang in her ears, making her body tremble involuntarily.

"Be good and tell me. I want to hear it." His words were full of temptation and expectation.

"I, I don't know..."

Su Jingyao tilted her head to the side, her silky hair swaying gently, and her little hands trembled slightly as she pushed him away.

Jun Zechen had never teased a woman like this before, but the girl in front of him was so well-behaved.

She had just shown him the poem she had written in a serious manner, which made it difficult for Jun Zechen to suppress the urge to bully and tease her.

Jun Zechen's body's reaction became more and more intense, but his strong willpower allowed him to restrain himself.

Delicious food requires waiting.

He reached out, pinched her chin, and forced her head to turn around, his deep eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"Yaoyao, tell me what's going on. Don't force me to punish you."

Su Jingyao's face became more and more red, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

All men in the world are the same. They just like these unpleasant words.

Su Jingyao closed her eyes gently, unwilling to look at him anymore, her voice as soft as a feather.

Jun Zechen smiled with satisfaction and said something in her ear.

Su Jingyao's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at him and said, "I never thought Your Highness would be so unrestrained!"

Jun Zechen did not comment on her evaluation. He has always attached great importance to etiquette and is a gentleman.

But he always seemed to be unable to help saying some teasing words to her.

She is the only one who is "extremely talented and knowledgeable" and knows everything.

The second day.

Su Jingyao woke up slowly, but found that Jun Zechen had already gone to court.

She sat up gently, Miaoyun hurried over to help her wash and dress up, and then she went to the Qiluan Palace.

When she arrived, the five new beauties were already sitting in their respective seats.

Su Jingyao walked forward, bowed slightly, and said softly, "I greet you, Crown Princess Sister."

"Please get up, Concubine Su." Ling Yue's voice was faint, and no emotion could be heard.

The other five also stood up and saluted Su Jingyao, saying in unison: "Greetings to Concubine Su."

Su Jingyao walked slowly to her seat and sat down. Her seat was to the lower left of Ling Yue, and opposite her was An Liangdi.

She raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, and said, "Get up, all the sisters are really beautiful."

Her voice is clear and pleasant, as if carrying a hint of warm spring breeze.

Ling Yue looked at these delicate and beautiful women who were like flowers, and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

She is the Crown Princess and will be the Empress in the future, so she must be more generous.

Ling Yue took a deep breath to keep herself calm, and said slowly: "Since Concubine Su is here, each sister can introduce yourselves."

Her expression remained calm, but her eyes revealed a subtle and complex emotion.

The first person to speak was naturally An Liangdi. She raised her head slightly, with a look of confidence and composure in her eyes, and introduced her family background and name slowly.

Ling Yue nodded slightly, with no major change in his facial expression.

The next one was Bai Mengli Bai Liangyuan. She opened her red lips and said slowly, "I am Bai Mengli, the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. I like to play chess. I heard that Concubine Su in the East Palace is an excellent chess player. I wonder if you can ask Concubine Su for advice?"

As she said this, there was a hint of expectant smile on her face, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Su Jingyao.

"Of course." Su Jingyao smiled slightly, as sincere as ever.

There was a gleam in her eyes, as if she had really found a confidant.

"Your Highness is very busy with government affairs, so he can only find time to play chess with me. I am worried that I can't find a confidant to play chess with in the East Palace. It's great to be able to play chess with Bai Liangyuan to kill time."

He seemed genuinely happy to have such a chess-playing partner.

Bai Mengli's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, except that his smile seemed a little forced.

"My sister just entered the East Palace yesterday. I always heard from outside the palace that His Highness and the Crown Princess were in harmony. It was only after entering the palace yesterday that I realized that His Highness actually dotes on the Concubine Sister so much. The five of us who entered the palace could not match His Highness's love for Sister."

There was a hint of resentment in Bai Mengli's tone, but it was not easy to detect, and there was a hint of jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.

Su Jingyao's eyelashes drooped, and her long eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings.

This Bai Liangyuan was quite good at speaking. Not only did she sow discord between her and Ling Yue, she also made the five newcomers to the palace stand on the same front.

When Ling Yue saw this scene, he felt inexplicably happy.

She wanted to know whether Su Jingyao would still be at the mercy of others even when faced with provocation from others.

She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and stared at Su Jingyao closely.

Su Jingyao smiled shyly.

"It is my honor to be liked by His Highness. There is still a long way to go, and I am sure my sister will be able to do the same."

As she said this, a blush appeared on her face, as beautiful as the sunset in the sky.

Bai Mengli choked. She didn't expect Su Jingyao to answer like this. Shouldn't a normal person be humble?

She pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing an unnatural smile.

"Sister Concubine is extremely beautiful, so it's only natural that His Highness likes her."

Su Jingyao lowered her head in tacit agreement, her face pink, and she looked shy and cute, making people want to take care of her.

But in his heart he could not help sneering. All the words that were full of threats were powerless in front of Tan Tang.

Ling Yue didn't expect that Su Jingyao could resolve such targeting words so easily.

Her every word and action was sincere, including the fact that she was favored by His Highness. She acknowledged it without any affectation and told everyone frankly that her Highness's favor made her happy.

Ling Yue's heart sank. Could it be that Su Jingyao didn't have any weaknesses at all?

Next came the introduction of Shen Biwan and Shangguan Yi. Shen Biwan was beautiful, while Shangguan Yi was very cute.

The last one came was Tang Suxi and Tang Fengyi. Su Jingyao set her eyes on her.

Tang Suxi was wearing a light-colored dress today, and the texture of the dress was obviously inferior to that of others.

However, her appearance stood out among these few people. She had the kind of little white flower appearance that made me feel pity for her.

Su Jingyao thought to herself, if this woman had good acting skills, she would be the kind of pure and innocent white lotus that Jun Zechen liked.

But.....

If her acting skills were not good, she would definitely step on Jun Zechen's weak spot - charming but with a heart as vicious as a snake.

"I am Tang Suxi, the daughter of the Yong'an County Magistrate. Greetings, sisters."

Tang Suxi walked slowly to the middle, her voice as soft as silk.

The other women who were selected to enter the Eastern Palace with her all looked down on her to some extent.

Tang Suxi naturally knew this too. After introducing herself, she quietly returned to her seat.

"It's getting late. Let's stop here for today's greetings. I'm tired too."

After hearing what the Crown Princess said, they all slowly stood up, bowed and left.

Su Jingyao thought a lot on the way back.

Ling Yue has indeed changed a lot. At least she can now remain calm in front of Jun Zechen's women.

That won't work.

A year later, Jun Zechen ascended the throne, and she could not let Ling Yue become the queen.

There was a gleam of viciousness in Su Jingyao's eyes. Since An Jinyan had entered the Eastern Palace ahead of time, how could the heroine and the supporting actress in the novel not fight?

Naturally, she would help them both.

It would be best if both sides suffered losses and she reaped the benefits.
