Chapter 11: Getting Up in the Morning



"It's really good." Jun Zechen nodded.

Seeing that he liked it, Su Jingyao smiled and picked up another dish of honey-floured crispy pear flowers for him.

Each of her movements was carefully crafted, with a unique charm. She explained gently, "This is also made by Jasmine. It's also smeared with honey. It's not only delicious, but also has the effect of moisturizing the skin."

After hearing her words, Jun Zechen became more curious about her food.

He no longer used the meals served by Anshun, but instead tried each of her fancy dishes one by one.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cake, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully.

"This lotus cake seems to be different from other lotus cakes?"

"This lotus-fragrant cake is made with the lotus flower, whose flowers and leaves are long-lasting and leave your breath fragrant. When I ordered it to be made, I specifically requested that the original flavor of the lotus be preserved. Therefore, the technique and recipe are extremely important in its production."

Su Jingyao explained patiently, her eyes focused and serious.

"There is no such capable person in my Eastern Palace. Who prepares your meals?"

"Most of my meals are prepared by Miaoyue herself."

Su Jingyao said this and looked at Miaoyue beside her. Miaoyue stood there with her head lowered, looking a little shy.

Jun Zechen looked at Miao Yue and nodded slightly, "Not bad."

"How do you know this?"

Jun Zechen was really curious. He felt that this young woman could always bring him some special surprises and let him see her unique side.

"I just love reading since I was young. Your Highness has never heard of 'In the morning I drink the dew of magnolia, and in the evening I eat the fallen petals of autumn chrysanthemum, so I am as graceful as jade and elegant and otherworldly.'" Su Jingyao asked with a smile. Her eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of playfulness and agility.

Then she jokingly said, "Indeed, Your Highness is a truly unique man, there is no one like him in the world. There is no need for him to drink dew and eat flower petals like this."

Jun Zechen knew that he was good-looking, but no one had ever praised him like that in person.

"This man is so handsome and unique, there is no other like him in the world." Is he so good in her heart?

Jun Zechen gazed at her deeply. The woman in front of him could truly be described as "the most beautiful woman in the world, and the color of the world is like dust."

He wanted to persuade her that since she was so beautiful, she really didn't need to force herself to eat these things, but then he thought, if she was already used to them, then it would be a kind of enjoyment.

It seemed normal for a fairy-like person like her to eat these exquisite flower cakes and flower dews.

Why should the food of ordinary people pollute her body?

"Do you like flowers?"

"Of course I like it."

Su Jingyao raised the corners of her lips and looked at Jun Zechen with a smile.

"In two days, it will be the Flower Festival of the Kingdom. On that day, all the streets and alleys in the capital will be filled with flowers, and there will be no curfew at night."

The Flower Festival is a very important festival in the Kingdom of Jun. Many unmarried men and women will get engaged on this day. The Kingdom of Jun also has the tradition of praying for blessings during the Flower Festival. This day will be extremely lively throughout the Kingdom of Jun.

Jun Zechen had promised Ling Yue that he would take her out of the palace for a trip every year during the Flower Festival.

This year......

Jun Zechen glanced at the little woman beside him.

When Su Jingyao heard about the Flower Festival, the smile on her face faded slightly, revealing a hint of loss.

Seeing her lost, Jun Zechen frowned slightly and said calmly, "If you want to go out, I will take you out of the palace on the Flower Festival."

Su Jingyao lowered her head, her long eyelashes fluttering like a small fan, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Your Highness, don't you need to accompany your sister?"

A strange emotion flashed in Jun Zechen's eyes. He had indeed promised Ling Yue that he would accompany her out of the palace every year during the Flower Festival.

But……

Jun Zechen's gaze fell on the little woman with her head lowered, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

"I'm taking you two out of the palace. Is there any problem?" His voice was flat.

"I'm just worried that my sister might be unhappy."

There was worry in Su Jingyao's voice, but she had other thoughts in her mind.

She lowered her eyes slightly, with a barely perceptible sarcasm flashing in her eyes. The bastard really started to cheat openly after he got the food in his mouth.

"Cousin Su, do you think that if she goes along, she can influence me and the Crown Princess?"

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and said lightly.

Even if he and Ling Yue were surrounded by a hundred women, it would not affect the relationship between them.

"I dare not think so. As long as I can bear your Highness's heir and fulfill the expectations of your Majesty and the Empress, I will be satisfied. Your Highness is willing to take me out of the palace during the Flower Festival. I am very grateful."

Su Jingyao slowly raised her head and looked at Jun Zechen calmly with a submissive look on her face.

"It's good that Concubine knows. I've finished my meal and still have some government affairs to attend to."

After saying that, Jun Zechen stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to walk out.

Su Jingyao stood up and saluted, "I respectfully bid you farewell, Your Highness."

After watching Jun Zechen leave, Su Jingyao sat back in her seat. Her expression became relaxed and comfortable, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Pick up your chopsticks and continue enjoying your food.

She will definitely give the hero and heroine an unforgettable memory during the Flower Festival.
