Chapter 225: She seduced him?

That day, there was a thunderstorm and the sky seemed to be dyed with ink. Su Jingyao called Jun Zechen to Shuining Palace.

Jun Zechen did as he was told and stayed by her side until Su Jingyao fell into a deep sleep, then he left quietly.

However, Su Jingyao was confused and dissatisfied. The rain was so fierce that day. If she hadn't sent someone to Qiluan Palace to call him over, wouldn't Jun Zechen have stayed with Ling Yue?

On the other hand, resting here with her, is it so repulsive for him?

Su Jingyao sometimes felt that Jun Zechen was very doting on her, and most of her requests were granted.

But sometimes I feel that his heart is as hard as a rock, and he is extremely cold and hard, and he is a person with astonishing self-control.

Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he wanted to stay, but his so-called principles and long-standing habits always drove him to suppress his emotional impulses and always make the most rational choice.

This is exactly what bothers Su Jingyao the most. This old man is really unpredictable!

Difficult.

Since that day, no one knew what Jun Zechen was thinking, but he hadn't stepped into the backyard for nearly ten days.

Su Jingyao cannot sit and wait for death. Ling Yue has already discussed with the empress about taking a concubine. If she does not strive for some favor, how can she get what she wants?

Ling Yue was also more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. Now there were only the two of them in the backyard, and neither Ling Yue nor she could do anything openly.

Ling Yue was also calm and composed. She hardly cared where Jun Zechen rested. She just followed the nanny to handle the backyard affairs every day, or went to Kunning Palace to find the empress.

Su Jingyao looked into the distance in deep thought.

Maybe Ling Yue selected some people to come in in advance. The more lively the backyard is, the easier it will be for her to act...

The most urgent matter now is Jun Zechen, and Ling Yue is waiting for other women to enter the palace before resolving the issue.

"Miaoyun, make a bowl of calming soup, and let's go to Yude Hall."

When Su Jingyao arrived at Yude Hall with the carefully prepared calming soup, Jun Zechen was not reviewing documents at the desk as she had expected. Instead, he was lazily lying on the couch, holding a book in his hands with a leisurely look on his face.

So this man is deliberately avoiding her, right?

Su Jingyao happened to catch a glimpse of the cover of the book, and it turned out to be "The Book of Changes"!

If he really is an old man, what young man would study philosophy?

At least at this age, Jun Zechen should be reading history books, political commentaries, or military strategies.

No wonder he is so determined and studies the Book of Changes all day long. All he thinks about is the balance of yin and yang, adapting to changes, and making reasonable decisions. How could he care about the love between his children?

Su Jingyao sighed quietly in her heart.

But she still had that cute smile on her face, and she walked up to Jun Zechen and bowed slightly.

"Your Highness."

"Today, I specially made a bowl of calming soup for Your Highness. Your Highness has been busy with government affairs in Yude Hall for the past ten days. I believe you must be exhausted both physically and mentally. I hope this calming soup can help Your Highness relieve some of his fatigue."

Jun Zechen shifted his gaze to her, "You did it?"

Su Jingyao's eyes dodged and she said "hmm" softly. She had been watching by the side when it was almost done, so that counted as what she did.

When Jun Zechen saw her like that, he knew she was lying.

"Leave it alone. I don't have much appetite at the moment."

He was already tired of drinking the calming soups in the palace. He originally thought that if it was really made by her, he would drink a sip just to give her face. If not, he would not be interested at all.

Su Jingyao didn't care. Giving him the calming soup was just a cover. She put the soup down and sat next to Jun Zechen, tilting her head slightly.

He asked softly, "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

Jun Zechen tapped the line in the book he was reading with his slender fingers.

Su Jingyao leaned over, her eyes fell on the line of words, she opened her rosy lips and read aloud in a soft voice.

"A gentleman works hard all day and is vigilant at night, and he will not make mistakes."

This sentence is intended to remind a gentleman to strive for self-improvement throughout the day and not to slack off even at night. He should always remain alert and not indulge in comfort and pleasure.

The reason why the "Book of Changes" is regarded as philosophy is that different people will have different interpretations when reading the same sentence in different situations.

What would Jun Zechen think when he saw this sentence?

Does it mean that he should devote all his attention to government affairs during the day and remain rational even at night and not be seduced by women?

As expected of an emperor, he really knows how to pua himself. He is a worker chosen by God.

"What do you think of this sentence, Concubine?"

Jun Zechen seemed to ask the question casually, but Su Jingyao keenly felt that he seemed to be setting a trap for herself.

If you agree, aren't you encouraging him to treat women as tools for continuing his family line?

If I don't agree, do I want Jun Zechen to indulge in love?

She was afraid that Jun Zechen would think that she was just like other women, greedily trying to gain power from him, and would even mock her for overestimating her own capabilities.

Su Jingyao did not respond directly, but pouted and whispered, "I can't do it anyway."

She should stay alert and work hard day and night. It is better to let the emperor do this. She is definitely unable to do it.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle, "You are honest."

"Besides bringing me the tranquilizing soup, is there anything else you came here for today?"

"I haven't seen Your Highness for a long time. I miss you so much. Will Your Highness go to the Shuining Palace tonight?"

Jun Zechen was stunned. This woman was very straightforward every time she asked for favors.

Ever since he went to the Shuening Hall on that rainy day, he was surprised to find himself unable to resist her, so he decided to stay quiet in the Yude Hall for a month, and even took out the "Book of Changes" to read, trying to cultivate his character.

When I suddenly saw her today, my heart felt like being gently pricked by a kitten.

It seems that no matter what you talk to her about, she always has unexpected answers. The daughter of the Su family has indeed been brought up with a very high cultural literacy.

However, since he has decided to restrain himself, Jun Zechen has never been a person who gives up halfway.

He immediately said: "I haven't finished dealing with my affairs today..."

Su Jingyao couldn't bear to hear the rejection, and before he could finish his words, her face turned cold and she stood up from his side immediately.

She bowed slightly and said stiffly, "Your Highness, please get busy. I will go back now."

There was a moment of dullness in Jun Zechen's eyes. He was unable to react in time to her smooth and swift movements of standing up, bowing, turning around and leaving.

Is she trying to make herself look bad?

In the evening, Jun Zechen finally went to Shuening Palace.

When he stepped into the hall, Su Jingyao had just finished bathing.

She was wearing a close-fitting silk tube dress, and her graceful figure was extremely seductive. However, she gently gathered her damp long hair to her chest, just enough to conceal her charming style.

She walked out of the inner room with light lotus steps. When she raised her eyes, she saw Jun Zechen sitting in front of her dressing table.

"Isn't Your Highness busy with government affairs?"

There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in Su Jingyao's tone.

Although he said he couldn't come, his body was honest.

"I was afraid you would go back to your bedroom and cry in secret."

There was a hint of teasing in Jun Zechen's eyes.

"I have already cried when I came back. Your Highness is late."

Su Jingyao stood beside him gracefully, her pretty face wrinkled at the moment. She lowered her eyes and looked at him with a sense of grievance.

Jun Zechen was so amused by her appearance that he laughed. He pulled her into his arms with his big, broad hands.

He gently opened her face, made her look at the mirror on the dressing table, and then put his warm lips close to her ear.

His voice was deep: "Such a pretty little face must look very pretty when it cries. Since I'm late, why don't you cry for me again?"

She lies effortlessly and easily.

Her eyes weren't even red at all, and she didn't look like she had been crying at all. The same thing happened when she broke her ankle that day. There was no visible red mark, but she couldn't even walk.

Su Jingyao never expected that this old man could be so shameless. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Question anything, don't question her ability to shed tears.

Tears began to well up in my eyes, ready to burst.

Jun Zechen kept his gaze fixed on her in the mirror, watching her eyes quickly fill with tears.

Suddenly I panicked.

"Are you made of water? You cry as soon as you say so." His voice was a little flustered.

"Anyway, Your Highness doesn't like me and doesn't want to see me every day. I personally went to ask Your Highness to come, but Your Highness was also very reluctant. When Your Highness couldn't see me, didn't I cry enough?"

She sobbed and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Your Highness won't feel bad either."

Su Jingyao got up from him angrily, walked hurriedly to the bed, sat on it, and then used both hands to forcefully pull down all the bed curtains.

A person was curled up inside, and sobbing sounds could be heard faintly.

"Your Highness, please go back. It is my fault that I cannot please Your Highness, nor can I make Your Highness feel comfortable. Anyway, the Empress and the Crown Princess are also selecting concubines for you. Soon, you will have more choices."

Her voice was sobbing and muffled, coming from behind the bed curtains.

If Jun Zechen had been in temper as before, he would have stormed out of Shuining Palace in anger long ago.

Who would have thought that this time, after she left him, he actually followed her to the bed, and now stood there quietly, like a sculpture, motionless, silently listening to her complaints.

Jun Zechen frowned and reached out to lift the bed curtain, "You say one thing and mean another."

After saying this, he bent down and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his slender fingers.

He hadn't come to see her for more than ten days, so she must have mustered up the courage to come to him today. But he rejected her in the end. Was he worried about his mother's selection of beauties for him?

Afraid of losing favor?

Seeing that he had become much gentler, Su Jingyao took the opportunity to put her arms around his neck and pushed down hard, bringing Jun Zechen closer to her.

Then, before Jun Zechen could react, she pressed her lips against his.

Jun Zechen's pupils dilated instantly, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold color.

He hadn't kissed a woman in years, and he wouldn't allow anyone to kiss him without his consent.

The women in the harem of the previous life all knew that if they took the initiative to do something intimate with him, it would be a crime of rebellion and disrespect. At the very least, they would lose favor, and at the worst, they would be banished to the cold palace. No one dared to challenge Jun Zechen's authority.

But now Su Jingyao seemed to be completely unaware of this, looking at him innocently with her big eyes filled with tears.

Seeing his indifferent expression, she not only did not back down, but instead she plucked up her courage and gently pried open his lips with the tip of her tongue.

Jun Zechen closed his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes became more intense.

He suddenly grabbed the back of her head with his backhand, and like a ferocious beast, he drove straight in and gnawed his "food" frantically. The sound of water stains from their kiss rang clearly in each other's ears.

Su Jingyao couldn't help but lean back under his fierce kiss, and her whole body was like a drawn bowstring, presenting a fascinating curve.

She didn't know how long they kissed, but she just felt that breathing became more and more difficult, and began to push away his chest with her hands.

"Well, no."

She panted softly, her voice pleading.

Jun Zechen then let her go, stood up, and stared at her with eyes as deep as a pool.

At this moment, both of their lips were shining with alluring moisture, and their looks were extremely ambiguous.

Originally, if he had pushed Su Jingyao away the moment she kissed him, Jun Zechen would have had enough reason to scold her for being so insolent, but he couldn't help himself and took complete control in the kiss.

At this moment, Jun Zechen was filled with anger but didn't know where to vent his anger.

He felt as if he was split into two halves at this moment, one was the rational and sober him, and the other was the him who could not resist temptation.

He stared at Su Jingyao, feeling angry in his heart. It was this woman who seduced him!

"Your Highness."

Su Jingyao was frightened by his deep eyes. She couldn't just kiss an old man and then deny it.

She timidly held his hands with her two little hands, knelt on the soft bed, and pulled him back little by little.

Before Jun Zechen himself realized it, he had already followed her movements and got on the bed, pressing her under him...
