Chapter 212 Marriage

When only the empress and Su Jingyao were left in the palace, the empress seemed like a different person.

The kind face that just appeared in front of Jun Zechen disappeared in an instant, replaced by a more serious expression with scrutiny in her eyes.

"Ms. Su, please sit down."

The queen raised her hand slightly, her tone cold.

"Thank you, Queen."

Su Jingyao walked over and sat down opposite the Queen.

He didn't care about the Queen's change of attitude.

"Someone has informed me about your affair with the Crown Prince. Miss Su, do you know who it was?"

Su Jingyao was not prepared to pretend in front of the Queen.

"But Miss Ye and Miss An?"

She did not avoid the Queen's gaze.

"Miss Su knows it all very well. When the Crown Prince was canonized at the age of fifteen, I was ready to send two concubines to the Eastern Palace for him, but the Crown Prince directly rejected me."

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, a look of dissatisfaction flashing across her face.

"I thought he was still young, so there was no rush. Later, when he came back from the war, I again proposed to him to take a concubine, but I never expected that I would be rejected again."

"Just when I was beginning to doubt whether the Crown Prince was really not interested in women, I unexpectedly learned about your relationship with the Crown Prince."

The Queen's gaze fell on Su Jingyao again.

"The prince likes you now and is unwilling to touch other women, but Miss Su must always remember his identity and your future identity."

The queen spoke in a serious tone.

Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, folded her hands on her legs, and naturally understood what the Queen meant.

Don't you just want her to be Jun Zechen's concubine?

"Yes, I will always remember my identity."

"Next year, you will be of age and the Crown Prince will be of age, so you can get married. I also believe that the daughter raised by the Su Mansion will be able to take on the position of Crown Princess."

The Queen's expression eased a little when she got a positive answer.

"The two young ladies from the Ye and An families have already shown deep scheming before they even entered the palace. I allow you not to let them enter the Eastern Palace, but the most important thing in the royal family is to reproduce offspring. You can decide on your own whether to appoint concubines in the Eastern Palace."

Su Jingyao lowered her eyelashes so as not to let the Queen see her emotions.

The thing she worried about finally happened. She could understand the Queen's thoughts. To the Queen, Jun Zechen had always been the most important person, and the Queen did not believe in the beautiful dream of an emperor only favoring one person.

If Su Jingyao treated Jun Zechen as her boss as she did in her previous life, then she naturally wouldn't care whether he took a concubine or not. But in this life, she treated Jun Zechen as her lover and would never allow Jun Zechen to betray her.

"Yes, thank you for your trust and love, Your Majesty. I will do my duty as the Crown Princess."

She can let Jun Zechen take a concubine, it just depends on whether Jun Zechen agrees or not.

Su Jingyao would naturally not refute the Queen now. Just agree to it and she would do it. Whether it would succeed or not was not up to her.

Jun Zechen is his own mother, so of course he should deal with it himself.

The Queen was very satisfied with Su Jingyao's answer. She was indeed a young lady from a noble family raised by the Su family. She had both vision and bearing.

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the chat between the Queen and Su Jingyao became much more relaxed and cheerful. The Queen had a gentle smile on her face and her eyes were a little more friendly.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Jun Zechen hurriedly arrived at Kunning Palace on time.

When the queen saw him like this, there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Is he so afraid that his mother would embarrass his future Crown Princess?

"Your son pays homage to your mother, the Queen Mother, and wishes you the best of health and happiness."

"Get up. Since you are here, your mother will not keep you. Take your future crown princess back with you."

The queen waved her hand.

Su Jingyao was teased by the Queen and could only lower her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, and act like a coquettish little girl.

She got up from the couch, and Jun Zechen quickly pulled her over and held her hand.

"Then Yaoyao and I will take our leave. We will come to visit you next time."

The two of them sat in the carriage and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.

Su Jingyao sat obediently in Jun Zechen's arms, her slender fingers casually playing with the ring on his hand.

"What did the Queen Mother tell you?"

Jun Zechen looked down at her with gentle eyes.

"It is said that one year later, when I reach the age of marriage and you reach the age of twenty, we will hold the wedding ceremony. After I become the Crown Princess, I will perform the duties of the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and looked at him.

"Yes, I have endured it for so long. You should really fulfill your duties as the Crown Princess."

Jun Zechen's lips curled up into a wicked smile.

Su Jingyao suddenly stopped playing with the ring on his hand. What was he saying?

This pervert has loved this kind of thing for two lifetimes.

Su Jingyao pursed her lips, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and said coquettishly: "What did Brother Zechen say!"

"The Queen asked me to take a concubine for you, and said that Miss Ye and Miss An were very scheming. I didn't allow them to enter the palace because of my feelings. She said that I should choose some women who suit my taste for you."

The Queen's intention seemed to be to find a maid for her, who would serve Jun Zechen in bed and her outside of the bed.

However, in the monarchy and many wealthy families, the status of concubines is indeed very low, but once the royal concubines have a rank, they cannot be manipulated at will.

"You agree?"

"I agree."

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows, looking innocent.

Does she dare to rebel against the Queen?

"Who told you to agree? If you don't agree, how can the Queen Mother embarrass you? Didn't I come to find you right away? If the Queen Mother doesn't like you in the future, you can just not see her."

There was anger in Jun Zechen's tone.

"I agreed, so it's fine if Brother Zechen disagrees, right?"

Su Jingyao put her arms around his neck and acted coquettishly.

"Why are you angry?" Su Jingyao's voice was soft and flattering.

Jun Zechen has never been able to resist her coquettish behavior, and after thinking about it, he said, "You are quite clever."

"This is called a man who understands the current affairs is a hero." Su Jingyao smiled proudly.

One year later.

The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing.

There was a bustle and joy inside and outside the Su Mansion, with lights and decorations everywhere and red ribbons fluttering.

Jun Zechen's wedding party is about to arrive.

He rode a tall and mighty white horse with pure fur and strong hooves.

Jun Zechen was wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress, the gold threads embroidered on the dress sparkled brightly and eye-catchingly in the sunlight.

He sat upright on his horse, his posture as straight as a pine tree. His handsome face was filled with irrepressible joy and full of expectations, and his eyes were bright and fiery.

The wedding procession behind was huge and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

Arriving at the gate of the Su Mansion, Jun Zechen dismounted from his horse gracefully with neat and smooth movements.

In the lady's chamber, Su Jingyao was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal bridal robe. The pearls and gems on the phoenix crown were dazzling, and the embroidery on the bridal bridal robe was exquisite.

Her makeup was also extremely delicate, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were as black as distant clouds, and her lips were like cherries. She was extremely beautiful.

As the bridesmaid shouted "The time has come", Su Jingyao gently covered her face with an exquisite round fan in her hand.

She moved lightly with lotus steps, and, supported by her maid, walked towards the gate of the Su Mansion step by step.

Jun Zechen watched Su Jingyao walking slowly towards him, supported by her maid. Even with her face hidden, she still looked charming and attractive.

Mrs. Su beside him had a happy face, but tears were still glistening in her eyes. She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and raised her hand from time to time to gently wipe the corners of her eyes.

Her daughter married into the Eastern Palace and became a royal daughter-in-law, and they saw each other less and less often thereafter.

Jun Zechen couldn't wait to walk forward, took Su Jingyao's hand, and said softly: "Yaoyao, I'm here to pick you up."

His voice was gentle and affectionate, like the most beautiful love words in the world.

Su Jingyao's smiling face behind the round fan was full of shyness, and she responded softly.

Afterwards, Madam Su, Lord Su, and Su Jingxuan all came to Su Jingyao.

Mrs. Su held her hand and said some caring words while choking with sobs.

Lord Su had a look of relief on his face, with blessings in his eyes. Even if his daughter married into the royal family, the Su family would still support her.

Su Jingxuan said a few heartfelt words between brother and sister.

Finally, Su Jingyao turned around, bid farewell to her parents, and was sent to the sedan chair at the right time.

When the carriage was raised, Jun Zechen climbed onto the horse with a nimble posture, and the wedding procession set off again, heading towards the East Palace.

Along the way, people gathered on both sides, watching, whispering and talking.

I heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family not only had countless dowries, but also precious gems, rare books, and land deeds. The Su family can be said to have given the eldest daughter enough confidence.

But I heard that the prince's betrothal gift even exceeded the Su family's dowry. Not only did the prince give the corresponding dowry, but I heard that all the things in the private storehouse that Miss Su liked were emptied out.

At that time, the entire long street was filled with betrothal gifts for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which showed that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had a deep affection for each other.

Finally, the sedan chair arrived at the East Palace amidst festive noise.

Jun Zechen walked quickly to the sedan chair, stretched out his hands, and pulled Su Jingyao out of the sedan chair.

Su Jingyao gently placed her hand on his and leaned forward slightly.

Surrounded by the crowd, the two came to the main hall like stars surrounding the moon, ready to worship heaven and earth.

Following the high and loud voice of the ceremonial officer, they sang in unison: "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao turned around upon hearing the voice, faced the door, and bowed together.

"Bow to your parents!"

The two turned around to face the emperor and empress in the hall and saluted respectfully.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao stood opposite each other. He looked at her with deep and firm eyes. She was the only one in the world who could catch his eyes. They bowed to each other.

After the ceremony, Jun Zechen smiled, took Su Jingyao's hand, and walked in front of everyone.

At this moment, the ceremonial officer handed over the marriage certificate with both hands, and Jun Zechen took it solemnly with a loud and firm voice, like the sound of a huge bell.

"With my sincere heart, I am willing to join hands with Crown Princess Jingyao Su for my whole life. I will take the country as my promise and the country as my witness. I will protect you, bring you glory, and watch the prosperity of the world hand in hand with you."

His eyes were always on Su Jingyao, full of affection.

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, her voice soft but powerful.

"I am willing to stand together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and to be with him through thick and thin. As time passes, my heart remains unchanged. I will help His Royal Highness achieve great things and protect the safety of our country."

The ceremony for the two of them ended here.

This is the wedding that Jun Zechen owes Su Jingyao. Even the coronation ceremony in his previous life was not as good as today.

Jun Zechen took her into the new house.

She didn't go out to entertain guests today, and she didn't need him to entertain them. In his eyes, she belonged to her completely today.

The new house is decorated warmly and festively.

The carved bed is covered with auspicious red dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds, emitting a faint sweet fragrance.

Jun Zechen took away the round fan in front of her. The moment Su Jingyao raised her eyes, Jun Zechen felt his breath stop. She was so beautiful.

Eyes as bright as stars, eyebrows as curved as crescent moons, a straight nose, and delicate and tempting red lips, every detail is breathtakingly beautiful.

"Yaoyao is the most beautiful bride."

Jun Zechen's voice was so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out of it, his eyes were full of surprise and obsession, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheek.

Su Jingyao chuckled, "My husband is the most handsome groom."

The two drank the wedding wine under the guidance of the palace maids.

After completing a series of rituals, the palace ladies withdrew tactfully.

As the night deepened, there were only two people left in the room.

Jun Zechen could no longer suppress the desire in his heart, and hugged Su Jingyao and held her in his arms.

He whispered in her ear: "From now on, Yaoyao is my wife, and I will never let you down in this life."

His breath was hot, fanning over her neck.

Su Jingyao hugged his neck without hesitation, stuck out her tongue and gently licked his earlobe. Her initiative was alluring and charming.

The two people's clothes flew out from the bed curtains one by one, they were intimate and blended with each other.

Su Jingyao's eyes sparkled.

I feel grateful that my lover is not shy about his appearance, so I turn around and hug him.

Jun Zechen chuckled and hugged the person tighter.

"Does it hurt?"

Su Jingyao stared at him and asked, "Who didn't feel pain the first time?"

Seeing that she had adapted a lot, Jun Zechen's eyes glowed with a wolfish and ferocious light in the dark night.

Outside the window, green trees are swaying in the wind and red flowers are blooming in the rain, how happy it is.

Half an hour later, Su Jingyao sat on his abdominal muscles and slowly stroked his chest with her hands.

Jun Zechen's eyes darkened instantly.

Familiar posture, familiar movements, meaningful eyes, and a half-smile on the mouth.

"You lied to me!"

Su Jingyao bent down and put her index finger on his lips, "Guess?"

The second volume is finished.

The second volume is a beautiful utopia. I hope everyone will find it sweet and happy. I originally wanted to write about Jun Zechen's disobedience to his father's seven sons having different mothers, and the plot of him protecting Yaoyao in front of the Queen, but I was afraid that I would ruin Jun Zechen's character.

Let’s leave it to everyone’s imagination. In the second volume, Yaoyao and Junzechen only have each other and live happily ever after! ! !

Now that it's sweet enough, let's have something exciting in the next volume.
