When only the Queen and Su Jingyao were left in the hall, the Queen seemed like a different person.
The kind face that just appeared in front of Jun Zechen disappeared in an instant, replaced by a more serious expression with scrutiny in his eyes.
"Ms. Su, please sit down."
The queen raised her hand slightly, her tone cold.
"Thank you, Queen."
Su Jingyao walked over and sat down opposite the queen.
He didn't care about the queen's change of attitude.
"Someone has reported your affair with the Crown Prince to me. Miss Su, do you know who it was?"
Su Jingyao was not going to pretend in front of the Queen.
"But Miss Ye and Miss An?"
She did not avoid the Queen's gaze.
"Miss Su knows it all very well. When the Crown Prince was canonized at the age of fifteen, I was ready to send two concubines to the Eastern Palace for him, but the Crown Prince directly refused me."
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, a look of dissatisfaction flashing across her face.
"I thought he was still young, so there was no rush. Later, when he returned from the war, I again proposed to him to take a concubine, but I never expected to be rejected again."
"Just when I was about to doubt whether the Crown Prince was truly uninterested in women, I unexpectedly learned of your relationship with the Crown Prince."
The queen's gaze fell on Su Jingyao again.
"The prince likes you now and is unwilling to touch other women, but Miss Su must always remember his identity and your future identity."
The Queen's tone was serious.
Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, folded her hands on her legs, and naturally understood what the queen meant.
Isn't it just that you want her to take a concubine for Jun Zechen?
"Yes, I will always remember my identity."
"Next year, you will be of age and the Crown Prince will be of age, so you can get married. I also believe that the daughter trained by the Su family is capable of taking on the position of Crown Princess."
The Queen's expression eased slightly when she received a positive answer.
"The two young ladies from the Ye and An families have already become scheming even before entering the palace. I allow you not to allow them to enter the Eastern Palace, but the most important thing in the royal family is to reproduce. The Eastern Palace's concubines are up to you."
Su Jingyao lowered her eyelashes to prevent the Queen from seeing her emotions.
The thing she worried about still happened. She could understand the Queen's thoughts. To the Queen, Jun Zechen had always been the most important person, and the Queen did not believe in the dream that an emperor would only favor one person.
If Su Jingyao treated Jun Zechen as her boss as she did in her previous life, she would naturally not care whether he took a concubine or not. But in this life, she treated Jun Zechen as her lover and would never allow Jun Zechen to betray her.
"Yes, thank you, Her Majesty, for your trust and favor. I will do my duty as the Crown Princess."
She can let Jun Zechen take a concubine, but it depends on whether Jun Zechen agrees.
Su Jingyao naturally would not refute the queen now. She would just agree and do it. Whether it would succeed or not was not up to her.
Jun Zechen has his own mother, so of course he has to deal with it himself.
The queen was very satisfied with Su Jingyao's answer. She was worthy of being a young lady from a noble family raised by the Su family. She had a broad mind and bearing.
After that, the atmosphere of the conversation between the Queen and Su Jingyao became much more relaxed and pleasant. The Queen had a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes showed a bit more kindness.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and Jun Zechen hurriedly arrived at Kunning Palace on time.
When the queen saw him like this, there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Is he so afraid that his mother would make things difficult for his future Crown Princess?
"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother, may you be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Get up, now that you are here, Queen Mother will not keep you. Take your future Crown Princess back with you."
The Queen waved her hand.
Su Jingyao was teased by the Queen and could only shyly lower her head, her cheeks flushed, and act like a little girl.
She got up from the couch, and Jun Zechen quickly pulled her over and held her hand.
"Then Yaoyao and I will take our leave. We will come to visit Mother next time."
The two of them sat in the carriage and headed towards the Prince's Mansion.
Su Jingyao sat obediently in Jun Zechen's arms, her slender fingers casually playing with the ring on his hand.
"What did the Queen Mother say to you?"
Jun Zechen looked down at her with gentle eyes.
"One year from now, when I reach the age of marriage and you reach the age of twenty, we will hold our wedding. After I become the Crown Princess, I will perform the duties of the Crown Princess."
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and looked at him.
"Yes, I have endured for so long. You should really fulfill your duties as the Crown Princess."
Jun Zechen's lips curled up into a wicked smile.
Su Jingyao suddenly stopped playing with the ring on his hand. What was he saying?
This pervert has loved this kind of thing in both his lives.
Su Jingyao pursed her lips, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about, Brother Zechen!"
"The Empress asked me to take a concubine for you, and she also said that Miss Ye and Miss An were very scheming. I can't let them enter the palace based on my feelings. She said that I should choose some women who meet my needs for you."
The Queen's intention seemed to be to find a maid for her, who would serve Jun Zechen not only in bed but also outside the bed.
However, in the monarchy and many wealthy families, the status of concubines is indeed very low, but as long as the royal concubines have a rank, they cannot be manipulated at will.
"You agree?"
"I agree."
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows with an innocent look on her face.
Does she dare to rebel against the Queen?
"Who asked you to agree? If you don't agree, how can the Queen Mother embarrass you? Didn't I come to find you right away? If the Queen Mother doesn't like you in the future, you can just stop seeing her."
Jun Zechen's tone was filled with anger.
"I agreed, so it's my own decision. Isn't it okay if Brother Zechen disagrees?"
