Chapter 64: Meeting the Newcomer

An Shun suddenly saw His Majesty walking out of the west hall, and a look of surprise welled up in his eyes.

Before he could react, he heard a calm and gentle command: "Prepare water."

"Yes, Your Majesty." An Shun hurriedly replied respectfully.

By the time Jun Zechen finished bathing, it was already midnight.

He lay on the dragon bed in the sleeping hall of the Qianqing Palace, his eyes wide open, and he could not fall asleep for a long time.

In the end, he ended up looking like his father.

Jun Zechen looked dim in the darkness, his thoughts racing.

From the moment I first met Lingyue, I fell in love with her.

Later, Yaoyao gave him a different feeling. He felt pity and distress for her and was reluctant to let her feel even a little sad.

His patience with Ling Yue was running thin, and he was surprised to find that his preferences were so fickle.

He didn't even know whether his feelings for Yaoyao would change in the future, and he could no longer make any promises with confidence.

Tonight, he was pampering others, it seemed that he only wanted to complete his own task and didn't want to waste any emotion on other women.

At first, Ling Yue was sad because he had another woman. Would Yao Yao also be sad about it?

Jun Zechen couldn't help but sigh. Even if she was sad, he was powerless to change anything.

At this moment, An Shun was dozing off at the door, but suddenly the door of the palace opened without any warning.

He shuddered all over and instantly came to his senses.

His Majesty?

"Your Majesty, where are you going so late?" An Shun asked cautiously in a low voice.

"Hide my whereabouts." Jun Zechen ordered in a calm tone with an indifferent look.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An Shun responded that it was late at night, and he would keep it secret even if His Majesty did not give orders.

Your Majesty has just summoned Concubine Lin, but now he has to go somewhere else late at night. If this gets out, how will Concubine Lin face death tomorrow?

Jun Zechen walked quickly in the dark night, with An Shun following closely behind him, and walked straight into Zhaochun Palace.

Then he entered the bedroom of Zhaochun Palace without any hindrance.

Miaoyun, who had been guarding outside the palace, was suddenly startled when she saw His Majesty in a black brocade robe with a dragon pattern. Before she could even salute, she watched His Majesty stride into the bedroom.

An Shunchong gave her a quick look, and then the two of them continued to wait outside quietly.

Jun Zechen entered the bedroom and saw the woman sleeping with her back to him. Her long, shiny black hair was spread on the pillow like a waterfall.

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, then quietly took off his outer robe, went straight to the bed, reached out his hand to slowly move her black hair away, and then gently held her in his arms.

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, her mind still a little groggy and not quite clear.

Anyone?

Su Jingyao subconsciously touched the hand on her waist. She was startled and came to her senses instantly.

Jun Zechen? !

Didn’t he summon Concubine Lin to the Qianqing Palace tonight?

What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you coming to Sojun Palace so late at night?

Wouldn't that bring her unwarranted hatred?

Su Jingyao frowned, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the unhappiness in her heart.

**, affecting her rest.

Then she slowly turned around and put her arms around his waist.

The voice was soft, a bit hoarse from just waking up, and with a soft and delicate flavor.

"Why is your majesty here?"

"Did I wake Yaoyao up?" Jun Zechen replied softly.

"Well, I was already asleep." Su Jingyao said coquettishly.

Then, Su Jingyao moved closer to his chest and sniffed him gently like a little cat.

Fortunately, there is no smell of other women, otherwise even if this bastard gets angry, she will kick him off the bed, otherwise she will be disgusted.

I wonder what happened to Jun Zechen tonight. Why did he suddenly come to see her? Was Lady Lin not satisfied with her service?

Could it be that he felt that he was being wronged by pampering another woman, so he came to her for comfort?

And after being comforted, he continues to pamper other people as usual, right, what a bastard.

"What?"

Jun Zechen's chest felt a little itchy because of her cat-like sniffing movements, and he asked in a low voice.

"Smell your Majesty to see if there is any scent of other sisters on your body." Su Jingyao replied coquettishly.

Jun Zechen's eyes flashed with joy for a moment, but his voice was still flat and no emotion could be heard.

"I favor other women, does Yaoyao care about it?"

"I don't care. Your Majesty already has many women, and now there are so many sisters. If I care, wouldn't I be unhappy every day? Humph."

Su Jingyao curled her lips.

Jun Zechen chuckled, "You're just being stubborn."

He knew that she cared, and instead felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Afterwards, Jun Zechen hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear, "No woman can compare to Yaoyao."

Su Jingyao, who was buried in the man's chest, raised the corner of her mouth slightly with disdain. Could he believe what he said?

"Your Majesty, please do not forget what you said. However, if Your Majesty falls in love with other sisters, I will also silently bless Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. You only need to make yourself happy. I only want Your Majesty to be happy physically and mentally."

Su Jingyao said sullenly.

When Jun Zechen heard what she said, he couldn't help but kiss her hair. He now didn't want to be intimate with other women anymore. Even on the bed, he just did his job.

But when facing her, I can't help but want to get close to her.

Su Jingyao felt his tenderness and rubbed her face against his chest. Then, as if she remembered something, she asked with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Your Majesty summoned Concubine Lin to sleep with you today. If the sisters in the harem knew that Your Majesty came to my Zhaochun Palace tomorrow, I am afraid Concubine Lin would be criticized."

"Don't worry, Yaoyao. No one will know that I am in Zhaochun Palace tonight."

Su Jingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want the newcomers in the harem to focus too much attention on her.

The second day.

In the early morning, Su Jingyao woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, Jun Zechen had disappeared.

Except for paying respects to the Empress Dowager every five days, she would sleep until almost 9 o'clock in the morning and then get up slowly.

When Miaoxia saw her master woke up, she immediately walked up quickly and began to serve her attentively.

"My master, the newcomers to the palace yesterday have already paid their respects to the Imperial Concubine's Palace, and will come to the Zhaochun Palace soon. I will quickly help you dress up." Miaoxia said softly.

Su Jingyao just raised her eyebrows slightly, looking indifferent.

"Well, why are you in such a hurry? If they come, what's wrong with asking them to wait?"

She entered the palace to enjoy the most luxurious life and the highest status.

No matter it is vanity or ambition, your own mood and comfort are the most important.

Miaoxia saw that her master didn't care and felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing.

They are just concubines whose status is no more than beauties. Why should the master rush to dress up for them?

Afterwards, Miaoxia began to comb her master's clothes leisurely, and from time to time she asked her master to choose the jewelry she would wear today.

By the time Su Jingyao had finished dressing up, the new concubines who had entered the palace yesterday had already come out of the Yikun Palace and had been waiting in the Zhaochun Palace for a while.

Su Jingyao walked into the hall and the newlyweds stood up one after another.

"I pay my respects to Consort Chun Shu, may your majesty be blessed with good health."

"Get up."

Su Jingyao had a gentle smile on her face as she walked slowly from the center of the hall to the highest seat, and then sat down gracefully.

"Miaoyun, serve the tea." Su Jingyao ordered softly.

Lady Ye, Lady Chu, and Lady Lin all sat in the front row because of their high positions and status.

They were all amazed at the luxury and exquisiteness of Zhaochun Palace. Every decoration was extremely rare. Concubine Chunshu must be His Majesty's favorite concubine.

Why do people say that the noble concubine is the most favored by His Majesty when they are outside the palace?

From the moment Concubine Chu saw Concubine Chun Shu, she seemed a little absent-minded.

She had always thought that her appearance was the best in the harem, especially after she had just met the imperial concubine who was said to be the most favored by the emperor, she became more and more confident about her appearance.

However, the moment Concubine Chun Shu stepped into the palace, Lady Chu herself could not help but be stunned.

Concubine Chun Shu's facial features were extremely delicate and beautiful, as if they were a masterpiece carefully crafted by God.

Even her figure and skin are perfect, without any flaws.

Miss Chu was shocked. It turned out that the rumors about the eldest daughter of the Su family among the nobles when she was still a girl were all true!

When Lady Ye saw Concubine Chun Shu, alarm bells began to ring in her heart.

Concubine Chun Shu possesses such stunning beauty, is greatly favored, has a powerful family background, and has His Majesty's eldest son.

How can she compete with Concubine Chun Shu?

Miss Ye lowered her eyelashes, trying to hide the deep hatred and resentment in her eyes.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Su Jingyao spoke up, "Who was the Concubine Lin who was the first to sleep with His Majesty yesterday? I want to recognize her face."

Lady Lin was a little shy for a moment, lowered her head, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's my concubine."

"Look up, I'll take a look."

Su Jingyao smiled and looked at Lady Lin gently.

Lady Lin slowly raised her head and gave Su Jingyao a slightly shy smile.

"She is indeed a beauty. No wonder she is favored by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The little favor I have received cannot be compared with the great favor you have given me." Lady Lin said timidly.

Su Jingyao did not continue the conversation, but turned her gaze to Miss Chu and said, "Who is this sister? She is really outstanding in appearance."

When Lady Chu saw Concubine Chun Shu looking at her, she stood up and saluted, saying, "I am Chu Yinxue, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. I was given the title of Lady after entering the palace. I am here to pay my respects to Her Majesty."

"Yes, that is..."

Su Jingyao was halfway through her words when she rested one hand lightly on the armrest of the chair, looking lazy and relaxed.

Lady Chu looked a little puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

"Lady Chu, I like your beautiful appearance, but I don't know if His Majesty likes it."

"I think that a delicate girl like Sister Lin is more likely to gain His Majesty's sympathy, haha."

When Concubine Lin heard Concubine Chun Shu's words, she felt a little uneasy for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I am a humble concubine, and I cannot compare with Sister Chu's beauty. If Your Majesty saw Sister Chu, he would definitely like her."

Lady Chu's face became a little stiff. Lady Lin's words of comfort did not make her feel comfortable.

Could it be that Your Majesty really likes women as delicate and beautiful as Lady Lin, as Concubine Chun Shu said?

Lady Chu was originally secretly proud of the fact that there were not many beauties as beautiful as her in the palace, and she was the most outstanding among them.

Does Your Majesty not like the way she looks?

Seeing that Lady Chu was a little stunned, Su Jingyao continued, "Lady Chu, I was just joking. I have never seen a woman as gorgeous as you by His Majesty's side before."

"Perhaps your Majesty has changed his preferences after seeing Lady Chu. Lady Chu, just rest assured."

After hearing this, Lady Chu's heart sank even more. She forced a smile and replied, "Yes, Madam."

Afterwards, Su Jingyao glanced at the quiet Miss Ye again.

It is indeed dignified and generous, but that thick mask of gentleness is really like me.
