What’s Different About Chapter 108?
Su Jingyao leaned on Jun Zechen, with an almost indifferent expression on her face, but Jun Zechen could not see anything.
Her eyes were slightly lowered, as if hiding endless thoughts.
In fact, she didn't care about these women at all. She knew clearly that these women were just trying to make the country that came today relax its vigilance.
After all, Jun Zechen had great ambitions and wanted to incorporate all these countries into his territory.
These so-called princesses and dukes of noble status are, after all, nothing more than pawns in the game between countries.
Su Jingyao likes men with great ambitions and men with power.
If Jun Zechen could expand the territory of his country and become an emperor like Genghis Khan, that would be what Su Jingyao would truly admire and admire.
By then, she and Jun Zechen will be able to leave a very significant mark in the history books.
And if Jun Zechen is not capable enough and is eventually overthrown and replaced by someone else, then she...
There was a barely perceptible flash of determination in Su Jingyao's eyes.
Naturally, she had to find another way. No matter who became the emperor, Su Jingyao could become his empress. Even under this feudal system, she wanted to let herself try to serve two husbands.
Even if I fail in the end, what does it matter? I'll die if I die. If I can't stand at the top, living is just a compromise.
However, she naturally couldn't let Jun Zechen know these bold and decisive ideas.
Su Jingyao pretended to be pitiful and said softly: "Your Majesty has so many women in the harem. Now that Your Majesty likes me and can tolerate my jealousy, I am afraid that in the future you will only think that I am being unreasonable. I will not believe Your Majesty."
Su Jingyao really didn't believe in Jun Zechen, so as the queen, she had to work hard to gain the support of her ministers.
In this case, in the worst case scenario, if Jun Zechen wants to depose the queen, he will have to carefully consider whether it will cause dissatisfaction among court officials and the people.
Jun Zechen stretched out his hand and gently lifted her face up slowly. His deep eyes stared at her intently, with great seriousness.
"I will spend my whole life fulfilling my promise to Yaoyao."
His heart was completely occupied by her, and he now focused more on state affairs.
These women in the harem were only favored from time to time for the sake of his plans, and he had no other thoughts about them.
Jun Zechen's only request to them was that they should not make him feel bored.
Kunning Palace.
Su Jingyao finished her bath with Miaoxia's help.
She put on a bright red nightgown, which she had specially asked the Fashion Bureau to secretly make.
The neckline was very wide and the hem was split to the thighs.
The pajamas were extremely thin, perfectly highlighting her fair and delicate skin. Her figure was graceful and charming, and the high and protruding parts were particularly prominent under the wrapping of the pajamas, and seemed to be about to burst out.
When Jun Zechen came out of the shower, he saw her at the first sight and couldn't take his eyes off her.
With burning desire in his eyes, he just stood there, motionless. His eyes, as deep as a pool, seemed to have a strong suction force, as if to suck Su Jingyao in whole.
Su Jingyao walked in front of Jun Zechen, she raised her head slightly to look at him, and then chuckled.
After licking the water drops off his chest and feeling the man's instant stiffness, Su Jingyao's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Afterwards, she deliberately rubbed the man lightly with her protruding part. Her eyes moved around, extremely charming, and her upturned eyes looked at him in an extremely seductive way, as if they could hook people's souls away.
Jun Zechen stretched out his hands and held her waist, slowly lifting her up, his voice low but suppressing his raging desire.
"I already have no resistance to Yaoyao, but Yaoyao still wants to seduce me?"
Then, Jun Zechen brought her to the head of the bed. Su Jingyao turned her back to Jun Zechen, and Jun Zechen placed her hands on the bedpost.
She turned her head, her eyes full of surprise.
He wants to be here?
It was the first time that Jun Zechen saw her wearing such a skirt. Her beautiful back was clearly visible under the gauze.
The curve of her waist and hips seemed even more seductive as she bent down slightly, not to mention her long and beautiful legs that were vaguely visible.
Jun Zechen pressed behind her, lifted her hands high above her head, and said in a low voice: "I think Yaoyao seems more beautiful when she is standing."
Having said that, without giving Su Jingyao any chance to refute, he turned her pretty face and impatiently covered her lips.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao could only hold on to the bedpost tightly with her small hands and endure the man's violent attack.
......
......
Day 2
Su Jingyao woke up slowly at noon. After Miaoxia had done her makeup carefully, she walked to the main hall of Kunning Palace and sat on the phoenix chair that symbolized supreme power.
Soon, concubines from the three palaces and six courtyards filed in and performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and glanced indifferently at the concubines who were paying their respects below. Looking at their respectful yet humble postures, an indescribable sense of joy surged in her heart.
She liked the fact that these concubines all clearly longed for this position, but at this moment they could only watch helplessly, lowering their noble heads respectfully and humbly, and kneeling at her feet.
During this Longevity Festival, five new concubines were added to the harem.
Princess Mingyue was named Shufei and was granted the right to live in Yongning Palace.
The second princess of Canglang State, Saihan, was also granted the title of consort and given the title of "Lan", and lived in Yuqing Palace.
Princess Yixuan of Lingyu Kingdom was conferred the title of noble concubine and given the title "Xuan", becoming Noble Concubine Xuan, and was arranged to live in Changchun Palace.
Princess Narenqi of the Seabuckthorn Kingdom was conferred the title of Jieyu and given the title "Ning". She was named Jieyu Ning and lived in the Hehuan Hall of Zhongcui Palace, sharing the same palace with Concubine Xian (An Jinyan).
Princess Yafu of Yuelin Kingdom was also conferred the title of Jieyushi and given the title "Ya", becoming Jieyushi Ya, and lived in the Zi Lan Hall of Changle Palace, where she lived with Concubine Lin.
Today, Kunning Palace is crowded with concubines and is very lively.
But Su Jingyao didn't have much energy to deal with them, and was too lazy to pay attention to the jealous and unwilling looks of Concubine De and Concubine Lin.
After giving a few simple instructions, he waved his hand and asked the concubines to leave.
He then ordered that special etiquette nannies be arranged to teach the new concubines who entered the palace. The teaching time was set at half a month. Only after they had learned the palace etiquette well would they have the opportunity to be summoned by His Majesty.
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, Lady Chu's child was born, successfully giving birth to the third prince for Jun Zechen.
When Chu Meiren gave birth to her child, Su Jingyao, as the empress, naturally had to go to guard the baby in person, but Jun Zechen was busy handling state affairs and did not come.
Concubine Xian had originally been eager to raise the third prince, but in the end, His Majesty still did as she and the Empress had expected and registered the third prince under Concubine De's name and let Concubine De raise the third prince.
When Concubine Xian saw Concubine De's smug expression, her face suddenly turned gloomy.
She was going to snatch the Third Prince away sooner or later.
Concubine De was filled with joy and held the Third Prince in her arms lovingly, her eyes full of love and affection.
She finally has a child of her own, and everything she has lost must be taken back with the help of the Third Prince!
The Peony Pavilion in Yu Garden.
Concubine De and Concubine Lin sat together. Concubine De always had a seemingly kind smile on her face. The smile seemed to have some deep meaning, yet it was difficult to grasp.
As for Lin Fei, her expression looked somewhat serious, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"What on earth did Concubine De come to see me for today?"
Lin Fei was the first to break the silence, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in her tone.
Concubine De turned her head slightly and asked with a smile, "I heard that you have been getting close to Concubine Xian recently?"
Concubine Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and her heart tensed. She got close to Concubine Xian naturally in order to form an alliance with her, but she also knew that Concubine Xian and Concubine De had always been at odds with each other.
She adjusted her expression slightly and calmly responded, "I am close to all the sisters in the palace. Why did Concubine De say that?"
Concubine Lin did not directly respond to Concubine De's words, but cleverly used a small effort to achieve a significant result.
"Princess Lin entered the palace late, and may not know the relationship between me, Concubine Xian, and the Empress. But if Concubine Lin wants to join Concubine Xian, I advise you to be cautious."
Concubine De still had that smile on her face, but now that smile seemed to have a little more meaning.
"What does your Majesty mean?" Concubine Lin frowned and asked in confusion, her eyes full of doubt.
"I had a feud with Concubine Xian when I was in the Eastern Palace. When His Majesty cared about me, he hated Concubine Xian very much. Tell me, who was the reason why Concubine Xian became one of the four concubines?"
Defei spoke slowly, but her eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness.
"Empress?" Concubine Lin asked doubtfully.
Then she calmed down and asked, "My Lady Defei, I framed you on horseback. Have you forgotten the past and even sent me a message?"
Lin Fei's expression became a little complicated, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"I can forgive what happened back then, but now that the Queen is so powerful, I naturally have to plan a good future for the Third Prince. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Defei raised her chin slightly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes.
Concubine Lin was shocked and said quickly, "When have I ever been an enemy of the Empress? Concubine De, please don't frame me."
Lin Fei's expression became more serious and her brows furrowed even more tightly.
"The Queen is the most beloved of His Majesty. If Concubine Lin wants to compete for her favor, does that mean she should not only not deal with the Queen, but also rely on her?"
Defei still had that indifferent tone, as if she was stating a very ordinary fact.
"De Fei, you have said time and again that the Queen is the sweetheart of His Majesty, but how can a man as dignified and cold as His Majesty have someone in his heart?"
There was a hint of reluctance and doubt in Concubine Lin's eyes. She found it hard to believe that His Majesty had such deep feelings for the Queen.
Concubine Lin looked at Concubine De's malicious smile, frowned tightly, and wondered in her heart whether she should believe Concubine De.
If Your Majesty really has someone in his heart and only loves the Queen, then why is Your Majesty so special to her?
Could it be that I am really the Queen's shield?
Lin Fei's mind was becoming increasingly confused, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind rapidly.
She carefully recalled the things that happened after entering the palace, and thought of Concubine Ye. When she and Concubine Ye were fighting fiercely, the Empress was safe and sound. She even unknowingly caused Concubine Ye to be abandoned by the Emperor. Could all this be a coincidence?
Or is it that His Majesty is plotting this carefully behind the scenes?
Thinking of this, Lin Fei felt a chill down her spine and a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.
"Princess Lin, do you want to know how His Majesty treats the Empress differently?" Concubine De and Concubine Lin looked at each other and asked with a smile.
