In the afternoon, the sunlight was bright and soft, pouring into every corner of the bedroom.
Su Jingyao was lying quietly on the couch taking a nap, her waterfall-like black hair casually scattered on the pillow, her fair face was faintly glowing in the sunlight, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like a small fan.
After finishing his dinner, Jun Zechen came to Xiyan Palace from Yude Palace. Without notifying anyone, he walked quietly into the bedroom.
He came to the bed, took off his robe, lifted the quilt and held the sleeping woman in his arms.
When Su Jingyao was held in his arms, she woke up in a daze, moaned softly, "Hmm..." and continued to sleep.
These days she could feel Jun Zechen's intimacy with her, but she didn't think Jun Zechen liked her deeply.
It was just a first sight.
After all, how could one easily give away his feelings to someone who could become the crown prince and possibly the emperor in the future?
After Jun Zechen held Su Jingyao in his arms, his big hands couldn't help but caress the skin on her waist.
Her skin is so delicate and smooth that it seems like water could be squeezed out of it with a light pinch.
Smelling the faint fragrance on her body, Jun Zechen gradually fell into a deep sleep.
After about half an hour, Su Jingyao's biological clock made her wake up naturally.
After all, her daily schedule and arrangements are fully packed.
Su Jingyao moved slightly, and Jun Zechen opened his eyes.
Su Jingyao hugged Jun Zechen's waist tightly and put her face on his chest.
"What? You don't want me to get up?" Jun Zechen's voice was filled with a hint of teasing.
In the past two days, every time the little woman woke up, she would get up without any greed and do her own things, such as reading, writing, flower arranging, and painting. Her hobbies are quite wide-ranging.
Su Jingyao rubbed his chest, raised her head, looked at him with watery eyes, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness has been treating me very well these days, I can't bear to leave."
"I'm not not coming, why are you so clingy today?" Jun Zechen chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheek.
Su Jingyao got up from him, still looking at him with her watery eyes, pouting her lips and acting like a spoiled child.
"I heard that all five sisters will be entering the Eastern Palace this afternoon. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Your Highness for several days, so I want to stick with You today."
Jun Zechen likes her clingy and coquettish appearance, and also appreciates her unconcealed pursuit of favor. In his opinion, she is real and cute like this.
He sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at Su Jingyao with a teasing look.
"I will go to the Imperial Study to discuss government affairs with my father. Please come to Yude Hall for dinner tonight. Are you satisfied?"
Su Jingyao felt a little shy when he looked at her. She lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling, and she bit her lips lightly, not daring to look at him.
Jun Zechen chuckled, reached out and pinched her delicate face, then got up and got out of bed.
After Jun Zechen left, Su Jingyao slowly got up from the bed.
She stretched lazily, and her slender waist like a willow branch swayed gently, showing her charm.
Then, she casually used her hands to gather her hair that fell like a waterfall. The hair entangled in her fingertips, making her skin look even more white and bright.
"Master, the five beauties have entered the palace, and the Queen's imperial decree of enthronement has also been announced to the Eastern Palace." Miaoyun reported softly from the side.
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming a little nonchalant.
"Oh? What title was given?"
"The highest-ranking official is An Jinyan, daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang. She was conferred the title of Third Rank Liang Di. Bai Mengli, daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was conferred the title of Fourth Rank Liang Yuan."
Miaoyun spoke in an orderly manner.
"The other three beauties are all from other cities. Chen Biwan and Shangguan Yi have better family backgrounds, so they were given the rank of seventh-rank recruiting officials. The last one, Tang Suxi, is said to be the daughter of a county magistrate, but she was given the rank of ninth-rank Fengyi." Miaoyun continued to report.
Apart from being deeply impressed by An Jinyan, the female supporting role in the novel, Su Jingyao really didn't have much impression of other women.
"Where do they live in the Eastern Palace? Was it arranged by the Empress or the Crown Princess?"
Su Jingyao lowered her eyes slightly and asked.
"An Liangdi's bedroom was given by the Empress Dowager. She lives in Xiyun Palace, not far from the Crown Prince's Yude Palace. The other ladies were arranged by the Crown Princess."
“Bai Liangyuan lives in the main hall of Yufu Palace, Shen Zhaoxun lives in the side hall of Yufu Palace, Shangguan Zhaoxun lives in Xingyun Pavilion, and Tang Fengyi lives in the most remote Shuyuxuan.”
Su Jingyao nodded lightly, "Find a way to send someone into Xiyun Palace."
"Yes, master." Miaoyun replied.
Although she didn't know why her master cared so much about An Liangdi, she knew very well that her master's orders were all meaningful.
An Liangdi has a good family background and was granted a bedroom by the Queen herself, so it seems that she is quite favored by the Queen.
If An Liangdi becomes pregnant with the emperor's heir again, she might really be able to overthrow the master.
Su Jingyao naturally had to take precautions against all potential enemies in advance. She couldn't just sit there and wait for others to plot against her, and be at a loss like a headless fly.
What's more, the people she placed in the palace had basically nothing to do with her. They were all secretly sent into the palace by Li Jin.
Most of these people entered the palace when they were seven or eight years old. They didn't know her at all and only recognized the token of trust.
It was even more impossible for Su Jingyao to reveal even the slightest sign of her identity in front of these people.
"We are going to Yude Hall for dinner tonight. Miaoyun, please make me some nail polish."
Su Jingyao gently placed her slender fingers in front of her and looked at them carefully. Her fingers were long and white, as if carved from mutton-fat white jade.
