Su Jingyao lay lazily on the beauty couch, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes closed, and she began to think carefully about today's talent show.
She still clearly remembered the plot of the novel. When Jun Zechen was still the crown prince, the Eastern Palace did not take in any other women except the original owner.
When Emperor Jingsheng was critically ill, he called Jun Zechen for a secret talk. Although she did not know the specific content of the secret talk, Jun Zechen's personality changed drastically because of this conversation.
Wearing the dragon robe, he was cold and majestic, unfathomable, and no one could read his emotions.
The emperor's majesty and indifference permeated almost his entire life, and his tenderness towards Ling Yue was completely worn away in the more than ten years after he ascended the throne.
After he ascended the throne, he began to select concubines at the suggestion of his court officials, and later he favored the concubines indiscriminately.
Almost all the concubines he liked would receive his favor.
Among the five beauties selected by the Queen for Jun Zechen yesterday, An Jinyan was the one who impressed her the most, because she was the first woman that Jun Zechen favored after he ascended the throne, and later became the most favored concubine in the harem who competed with Queen Ling Yue.
Ling Yue's halo as the heroine is probably that she had Jun Zechen's sincere love in the early stage, and Jun Zechen's support and trust in the harem struggle in the middle stage. Otherwise, she would not have been alive under the suppression and calculations of successive favorite concubines.
Later on, Jun Zechen's love for Ling Yue faded because of her changes, and in the end, the two became husband and wife for life.
But after Jun Zechen became emperor, women never stopped appearing. When he stopped loving Ling Yue, it also meant that he no longer loved anyone. He no longer had the ability to love, nor did he understand love.
Ling Yue lost her love in the harem struggle, but she secured the position of queen. Every time she saw the indifferent Jun Zechen, she would miss the young man they used to be.
Every time Su Jingyao thought about the plot of the novel, she felt a little regretful about reading it.
It is a sweet romance novel, but it turns out to be a sad novel. However, this novel does reveal the true meaning of human nature.
Now, probably because of her butterfly effect, the queen not only sent five women into the Eastern Palace, but also sent An Jinyan, the future favorite concubine, to Jun Zechen in advance.
A smile slowly appeared on the corner of Su Jingyao's mouth. Is she going to start the palace fighting mode early?
Jun Zechen will ascend the throne next year. Originally, the Crown Princess would not get pregnant, and there were only the two of them in the Eastern Palace. She was not in a hurry to get pregnant, but now five women suddenly came, and it seems that Jun Zechen will definitely favor them.
Thinking of this, Su Jingyao frowned slightly. This butterfly effect completely disrupted her plan. She had originally planned to wait until Jun Zechen ascended the throne before getting pregnant.
Tsk.
It seems that I can no longer continue to use contraception.
After all, she was going to give birth to Jun Zechen's eldest son.
When Jun Zechen stepped into Xiyan Palace, the little woman was lying quietly on the beauty bed with a dull look in her eyes, and there was no palace maid serving her.
After returning to the Eastern Palace from the Imperial Study, Jun Zechen's mind was filled with thoughts.
What the emperor said does make sense. He really shouldn't invest too much emotion in women.
Originally, he planned to comfort Ling Yue, because An Shun reported that Ling Yue had been depressed since returning from the tea tasting banquet, and even kept sending people to inquire when he would return.
Jun Zechen felt annoyed when he heard Anshun's report. He didn't want to continue discussing women's matters with Ling Yue. He couldn't make any promises to Ling Yue.
These women were just tools for him to have children, so what's wrong with favoring them? Why did she always act so heartbroken? He didn't know how to comfort Ling Yue, nor did he know how to get along with her.
So, Jun Zechen turned around and came to Xiyan Palace.
Jun Zechen slowly approached the woman. He stood tall and straight, and every step he took was accompanied by a steady strength, as if the whole world was at his feet.
The woman's soft hair fell on her chest like a waterfall, her hair as smooth as silk, as if it were woven from the finest silk thread.
The silk dress fluttered down to the ground like flowing clouds, so dreamy, and her face was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated and almost unable to take their eyes off her.
Jun Zechen gently picked up the dazed woman, placed her on his lap, and hugged her tightly.
He buried his head deep in the woman's soft neck, looking a little lonely.
Su Jingyao was startled by his sudden action and only came to her senses when she was picked up.
She turned her head slightly and looked at Jun Zechen who had his eyes closed, feeling a little confused.
Why does Jun Zechen look so wrong today?
He seemed to have a slightly hurt look on his face.
Su Jingyao frowned slightly. What happened?
Although she didn't understand what was going on, Su Jingyao reacted quickly. She gently hugged Jun Zechen back and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Her voice is so soft and gentle that it makes people relax when they hear it.
"Yaoyao, do you know what love is?"
Jun Zechen's voice was calm, without much emotion.
Su Jingyao smiled brightly, holding Jun Zechen's handsome face in her hands, gazing at him with eyes as gentle as water, and whispered, "I think about Your Highness every day. Does this count as love?"
Jun Zechen's dark eyes met hers, he didn't know the answer.
Because it was he who asked Su Jingyao to change, and it was he who asked her to focus all her attention on him, but he didn't know whether she really liked him in her heart.
But now he felt that the answer didn't seem to matter, because he couldn't respond to anyone's love.
"But love can change, so what can I do? Yaoyao is thinking about me today, who will she be thinking about tomorrow?"
Jun Zechen frowned slightly, and his words were full of thorns.
"Time passes, regimes change, and the world's customs and customs constantly shift. Your Highness, why should you pursue eternity?"
