Chapter 83 How to Coax Her

Jun Zechen looked hurried and hurried back to Zhaochun Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, the little palace maid guarding outside was startled at first and saluted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, your servant greets you, the master..." was not in the palace.

Before he finished the last few words, Jun Zechen had already walked into the bedroom like the wind.

Although his face remained calm, he was afraid that Lei Ming would start to have wild thoughts because she couldn't see him when she woke up.

After entering the bedroom, Jun Zechen opened the bed curtain. In an instant, his brows wrinkled and there was confusion in his eyes.

Where are the Yaoyao people?

Jun Zechen walked out of the bedroom, his face slightly gloomy, and asked with a hint of majesty in his tone: "Where is your master?"

"Your Majesty, the master has gone to Minde Palace." The palace maid replied tremblingly.

Minde Hall is the eldest prince's bedroom.

Jun Zechen's brows were still furrowed, and he walked towards the Minde Hall.

Inside the Minde Hall, there was only a flickering candle.

Su Jingyao lay on her side, holding Xingxing gently in her arms. Xingxing was already fast asleep.

But Jun Zechen could clearly see the thin shadows cast by her slightly trembling eyelashes in the candlelight; Yaoyao was not asleep.

Did you come to Minde Hall because of Lei Ming?

Jun Zechen walked over quickly but carefully, lightly stepping on his feet, afraid of making any sound.

After walking to the bed, he sat down, slowly bent down, and moved closer to Su Jingyao's ear.

The voice was very low but full of concern, "Yaoyao, why did you come to Xingxing's bedroom? I will take you back."

There was a hint of coldness in Su Jingyao's eyes, and a moment of disgust flashed across her beautiful face like a faint ripple.

Su Jingyao also lowered her voice and said, "I will accompany Xingxing tonight. Your Majesty, please go back."

"Yaoyao is angry with me?"

"I dare not, but there are thunder and lightning tonight, and I am afraid that Xingxing will be scared awake, so I am accompanying Xingxing."

Su Jingyao's voice was as calm as water, without much expression on her face, she just spoke calmly.

When Jun Zechen heard her say this, his mouth opened slightly for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

After a moment's silence, he lay down on his side, stretched out his arms, and gently held both mother and child in his arms, his movements full of care and love.

Su Jingyao's back was against his chest, with a hint of resistance.

I wanted to stay away from him, but I was afraid that if I moved too much, I would wake up the sleeping Xingxing in my arms, so I could only endure the discomfort.

The bastard came out of Yikun Palace still holding her!

"Yaoyao is also afraid of thunder, so I want to accompany Yaoyao, and then Yaoyao won't be afraid." Jun Zechen's voice was deliberately low and magnetic.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden deafening thunder outside.

Su Jingyao reached out and covered Xingxing's ears almost instinctively.

At the same time, Jun Zechen's big hands covered her ears at an extremely fast speed.

He tightened his arms a little and held them tighter, as if he wanted to hold them tightly in his arms and block all their fear and anxiety.

Su Jingyao moved Xingxing very gently to the side, gently pulled up a corner of the quilt with her fingers, and covered Xingxing with the quilt bit by bit.

Then, she turned around slowly, with stubbornness and resentment in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I hate you."

Su Jingyao spoke softly, and as she spoke, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, gleaming a faint light in the darkness.

Even though it was a pitch-black night, Jun Zechen could see the tears clearly.

He felt a sudden pain in his heart, as if pricked by a sharp needle.

He hated seeing her cry the most, it always made him feel heartbroken.

Jun Zechen glanced at Xingxing who was still sleeping. It was not a suitable place to talk.

Then he stood up, picked up Su Jingyao from the bed, walked out of Minde Hall, and returned to the bedroom in the main hall of Zhaochun Palace.

After Su Jingyao was put on the bed by him, she leaned against the wall with a cold face, her back facing Jun Zechen. She didn't want to see him, nor did she want him to see her expression.

Jun Zechen showed a helpless expression on his face.

He knew that she was unhappy at the moment, so he could only patiently coax her, with gentle sweet words gushing out one after another.

However, no matter what Jun Zechen said to her, Su Jingyao was as indifferent as a wooden sculpture and did not react at all.

Finally, I could only ask helplessly: "How can Yaoyao not be angry?"

He really had no choice but to reach out his hand with a little force to slowly turn her body over.

"You're not going to pay attention to me anymore? Are you talking about Yaoyao who is spoiled and becomes coquettish?" Jun Zechen's voice was low and a little stern.

"Um?"

Jun Zechen rested his forehead against hers, his eyes as deep as the endless abyss, and looked into her eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

"Where did your Majesty go?"

Su Jingyao pursed her lips and looked at him stubbornly, with a hint of questioning in her eyes.

Jun Zechen's eyes flashed for a moment, and his brows frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer.

If I tell her the truth that I went to Yikun Palace, will she overthink it and get even angrier?

Su Jingyao sneered in her heart when she saw that he didn't answer for a while.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have snooped into your whereabouts. Your Majesty, please just pretend that I didn't ask."

"Your Majesty, please do not accuse me of being arrogant because of my favor. Without favor, how could I be so arrogant? If Your Majesty has a favorite sister in the harem, you can go there openly. Why do you have to go there while I am asleep?"

There was a hint of complaint and bitterness in Su Jingyao's words.

Jun Zechen was stunned.

What is she talking about?

The person she loves most is right in front of her, but she thinks she loves someone else.

Jun Zechen gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Concubine Ling is ill, I went to see her, but because it was a little late, I thought you were asleep, so I thought of staying in Yikun Palace for a night."

"After that, I heard thunder, and thinking Yaoyao would be scared, I hurried over." Jun Zechen explained seriously.

Su Jingyao showed no expression, but in her heart she didn't buy his tricks at all.

He is rushing to the scene, so busy.

Before, when she was sleeping soundly, he did whatever he wanted. If he wanted to hold her to sleep, he would just hold her in his arms domineeringly, no matter it was during nap time or at night.

Haha, anyone who believes in men’s lies is a fool.

"It's so late. I'm very tired today. Your Majesty has to go to court tomorrow. Please take a rest."

Su Jingyao's voice was as calm as water. After she finished speaking, she turned her back to Jun Zechen and fell asleep without hesitation.

Jun Zechen looked at her back, as if he saw her silently expressing her dissatisfaction and resistance to him.

She was angry whether he told her or not. Never before had a woman made him so upset and at such a loss.

Jun Zechen was lying on the outside, staring at Su Jingyao with a look full of inquiry, as if he wanted to see through her every thought.

He pursed his lips, his thin lips forming a straight line.

Can't sleep at all.

If other women dared to treat him like this, he would have left long ago. He was an emperor, who had he ever coaxed?

Even if it was Concubine Ling, when had he ever been so humble to coax her before?

Time passed by minute by minute, and the silent palace seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist because of the low pressure emanating from him, making it seem particularly depressing.

Su Jingyao was not asleep either. She knew very well in her mind that she had to strike a balance when giving a cold shoulder to an emperor with such a capricious mood.

Sometimes it's fun to do it appropriately, but sometimes if you don't handle it well, you will completely drive the man away.

Of course, it was impossible for her to fall asleep at this time.

Jun Zechen hasn't said anything yet, nor has he left angrily. It seems that he is still holding back his anger.

The rain tonight seems endless, it keeps falling, and there are thunders from time to time.

Every time the thunder sounded, Su Jingyao's body would tremble slightly involuntarily, looking somewhat pitiful and helpless.

Jun Zechen also knew that she was not asleep. Looking at her curled up with her back to him, he still couldn't bear to do it.

He stretched out his broad palm suddenly with a domineering and powerful movement, and immediately pulled Su Jingyao into his arms.

She struggled slightly at first, but soon ignored him and continued to close her eyes.

Jun Zechen's voice echoed in the silent palace, but the voice was no longer gentle.

"Yaoyao's temper is getting worse and worse. Am I not pampering you enough? Who in the harem dares to treat me like this?"

Su Jingyao opened her eyes because of his words and looked at him with a hint of grievance.

"I didn't show any displeasure. I was just unhappy. Your Majesty never cared about my feelings. You only cared about whether your dignity was violated. I didn't dare to offend Your Majesty. I just wanted to take a nap to calm down. But Your Majesty said I was angry."

There was a hint of resentment in her voice, and the more she spoke, the more pitiful she felt. She even choked up at the end, and the words she said were heartbreaking.

Although she said this, she was indeed angry. When there is a quarrel, women will naturally blame others and say that it is all the man's fault.

Jun Zechen showed a trace of heartache on his face, and his heart was filled with sadness.

She is just unhappy and doesn't make any noise or trouble. I should be understanding and not question her like that.

It was indeed he who went to Yikun Palace today while she was asleep, so it was reasonable for her to be angry.

She lost her child because of Concubine Ling. Even if Concubine Ling was not the mastermind, it would be difficult for her to be magnanimous enough to forgive her. Yaoyao had told him this before.

However, he went to visit Concubine Ling just because he didn't want Concubine Ling to always hurt herself to achieve her goals.

Once there is a chance, there will be a second chance. Today he went there to warn her.

Concubine Ling has changed a lot, even to the point that he hates her, but he still hopes that she can live a good life instead of losing herself and doing more wrong things.

Jun Zechen sighed softly.

"I was wrong."

Jun Zechen's face was full of guilt, and his eyes revealed deep self-blame.

"Yaoyao, don't worry about Concubine Ling in the future. You are the most important in my heart. Don't be unhappy anymore."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Su Jingyao's cheek, his eyes full of heartache, "You are the one I care about the most."

After Su Jingyao heard this, her frown relaxed a little, and she finally felt a little satisfied.

Jun Zechen is an emperor and she cannot ask too much of him, but he must know how to admit his mistakes and know what he has done to make her angry. She does not want to discipline him again and again.

But it's not enough.

Su Jingyao continued to sob and said, "Your Majesty is lying. On my birthday before, Your Majesty chose to accompany Concubine Ling. Yesterday on the Flower Festival, Your Majesty also left me to visit Concubine Ling. In Your Majesty's heart, I have never been able to compare with Concubine Ling."

Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, as if they would fall at any moment, and her voice was filled with deep grievance.

"I have never expected your Majesty's favor before, but your Majesty always says things that make me misunderstand. From now on, I will not believe it, I will not expect it, I will not be disappointed, and I will not be angry with your Majesty because of disappointment. "

Su Jingyao sobbed softly while speaking, and her shoulders shook slightly, which made people feel very distressed.

Jun Zechen listened to her accusations, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, his face full of entanglement and confusion.

I always feel that what she said seems to be wrong, but when I think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

But he went to Concubine Ling not because he liked her. The first time he went there was because he didn't want Concubine Ling to be assassinated, and this time he just wanted to make some things clear with Concubine Ling.

"It's all my fault,"

His face was full of regret.

"I didn't know Yaoyao would be hurt by this. She won't be hurt anymore in the future. Please believe me, okay?" His tone was sincere.

"In half a month, it will be the spring hunt. I will take some of the concubines with me. By then, Concubine Ling will have been released from house arrest. If Yaoyao doesn't like her, she can stay in the palace."

As Jun Zechen spoke, he looked at Su Jingyao tenderly, his eyes full of care and love.

When Su Jingyao heard this, a strange look flashed across her lowered eyes.

That won't work.

The Spring Hunt was the first time she traveled with Jun Zechen in front of the courtiers and concubines after becoming the Imperial Consort. Everyone had to see her glory and honor.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao said somewhat gloomily, "Your Majesty, as a high-ranking concubine, Concubine Ling should have gone with Your Majesty. I was just named Imperial Concubine by Your Majesty, and I don't want the court officials to think that I am jealous of Your Majesty's first wife and suppress Concubine Ling in the harem."

Su Jingyao had a slightly aggrieved look on her face, and lowered her head slightly while speaking.

Then she whispered, "Your Majesty, please let Concubine Ling go. I don't mind."

"I will let you choose the list for the Spring Hunt. Whoever Yaoyao wants to go can go, and whoever she doesn't want to go can stay away."

Jun Zechen's tone was still gentle. He reached out and stroked Su Jingyao's hair, his eyes full of doting.

"This spring hunt will be held at the Spring Hunting Pass outside the imperial city. I will lead the ministers and soldiers of the court to go together. I will take Yaoyao with me when the time comes."

"But I don't know how to ride a horse."

Su Jingyao bit her lips lightly, slowly raised her head, looked at Jun Zechen with clear eyes, and a trace of distress appeared on her face.

Her slightly wrinkled brows were like crescent moons, making her look even more adorable and charming.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at her lovingly, "With me here, what are you afraid of? Whatever Yaoyao wants to hunt, I will give it to her."

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and then rubbed Jun Zechen gently like a docile little cat.

Jun Zechen hugged her tighter and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Coaxing her was the hardest thing he had ever done.
