Jun Zechen suddenly felt a cool sensation on his hand, which instantly brought his wandering thoughts back.
He frowned slightly, slowly pulled his hand back calmly, and then put his hands behind his back.
There was a strange feeling in his heart, he didn't like these women touching him.
Then Jun Zechen walked towards the direction of the camellia that Concubine Shu pointed to as if nothing had happened.
Concubine Shu looked at His Majesty's indifferent expression and his action of letting go of her hand, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.
But she quickly concealed this sense of loss.
It doesn't matter, His Majesty will accept her one day.
Afterwards, Concubine Shu smiled brightly and followed His Majesty closely.
After a few steps, she arrived in front of the camellia. She bent down lightly, reached out and picked a camellia.
The white flowers appear particularly pure in the sunlight, emitting bursts of elegant fragrance.
Her eyes sparkled, and she looked at His Majesty expectantly, smiling broadly as she said, "Your Majesty, this camellia is truly beautiful. How about pinning it in my hair?"
Jun Zechen frowned slightly and was about to refuse.
But at this moment, he saw a figure walking slowly towards him with a leisurely expression on his face from the side. It was the queen.
Jun Zechen's eyes flickered for a moment.
Su Jingyao was wearing a plain palace dress, which was soft in texture and embroidered with exquisite patterns, and was faintly visible in the sunlight.
She was wearing a fox fur cloak, and the snow-white fox fur made her look even more elegant and holy.
Her face is exquisite and beautiful, her skin is as white as snow, and her big watery eyes are clear and moving, like two shining gems.
Jun Zechen's gaze stayed on Su Jingyao for a moment, then he took the camellia and put it in Shufei's hair.
Shufei did not see Su Jingyao on the other side. Because of Jun Zechen's actions at this time, surprise flashed in her eyes.
She asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do I look good?"
Jun Zechen said "hmm" lightly.
However, the corner of his eyes was always fixed on the queen, who was wearing a plain palace dress and a fox fur cloak.
Su Jingyao, who was walking slowly over, took Jun Zechen's actions in full view and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
It's so childish.
This is the biggest misunderstanding between men and women. When a woman is pursued passionately by multiple men, it will indeed stimulate the possessiveness and initiative of most men.
However, when a man tries to treat a woman in the same way, most women will often avoid him.
Su Jingyao always maintained a smile as warm as the spring breeze. She walked in front of Jun Zechen, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Jun Zechen lowered his head, his gaze fell on the top of her head, and said in a light tone: "Get up."
After Su Jingyao stood up, Concubine Shu also bowed to her and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress."
"Please get up, Concubine Shu. You look so charming and pretty today, and you are even more beautiful with the camellia in your hair." Su Jingyao said softly with a smile on her face.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao approached Concubine Shu with light steps and said softly, "I just don't know how Your Majesty arranged the flowers for Concubine Shu. They are a little off. Let me help Concubine Shu with them."
As she spoke, Su Jingyao walked in front of Concubine Shu. The two of them were very close to each other. Su Jingyao was tall to begin with, so she easily adjusted the position of the camellia in Concubine Shu's hair.
Concubine Shu was so surprised that her eyes widened. She never expected that the queen would be so close to her.
She looked at the queen up close in a daze, and felt that the queen seemed even more beautiful.
Shufei has been in the harem for several months. She has seen almost all the concubines, but none of them can compare to the beauty of the Empress.
After Su Jingyao adjusted herself, she took a light step back, still smiling gently. She looked at Concubine Shu with a gentle gaze and said softly, "What a beauty."
Then she said to Jun Zechen, "Your Majesty is in a good mood and has Concubine Shu to accompany you. I will not disturb Your Majesty and will return to Kunning Palace now."
Su Jingyao bent her legs slightly and bowed, "I'll take my leave."
After saying that, she turned around, her skirt fluttering, and left gracefully.
From the moment Su Jingyao walked over, Jun Zechen had been clenching his right hand tightly behind his back. The veins on the back of his hand were slightly bulging, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
His face was tense as he tried hard to control his expression. His eyes flashed with complex lights, showing reluctance, pain, and deep attachment.
Because in Su Jingyao's eyes, Jun Zechen no longer looked like he used to be.
In the past, her eyes were passionate and bright, as energetic as the rising sun, and as bright and flawless as the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
But now, in her, he could only see the virtue and dignity that belonged to a queen, nothing else.
Jun Zechen stared at Su Jingyao's gradually receding figure, his eyes full of loneliness and disbelief.
Does she really not care about herself now?
Are you really so determined?
Concubine Shu was completely unaware of Jun Zechen's abnormality. She continued to ask softly with an obedient look on her face, "Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner. Would you like to go to Yongning Palace for dinner?"
Jun Zechen came back to his senses, his eyes becoming unusually cold.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business to attend to. Concubine Shu, please go back."
Concubine Shu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when her eyes met His Majesty's face, which was so cold that it was almost without a trace of warmth, the words on her lips were swallowed back.
I could only say obediently, "Yes, Your Majesty, even though you are busy with state affairs, you must eat. I will take my leave."
Jun Zechen nodded, then turned around and walked away without looking back. Concubine Shu had a confused look on her face, and turned away with a somewhat lonely look.
