But at this moment, Su Jingyao felt like there was a thorn in her heart.
The man beside her was not the lover in her memory; they were not the same person.
She also didn't want to be like she was in her first life, obsessed with power, pretending to be affectionate to him, even racking her brains to come up with strategies to make him feel distressed, and then scheming against the women in his harem.
Watching him being intimate with another woman and giving birth to a child for him.
When Su Jingyao thought of this, she felt disgusted and nauseous.
Su Jingyao suppressed her inner discomfort and followed Jun Zechen into the hall.
The Kunning Palace has been meticulously decorated by the Imperial Household Department, and at Jun Zechen's special instruction, many priceless treasures have been placed in it.
As the queen's residence, this palace has always been very dignified and solemn, but Jun Zechen, knowing her preferences, ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rearrange it.
The scene before our eyes at this moment is not only luxurious and exquisite, but also exudes elegance and even warmth everywhere.
Su Jingyao looked up and took in all this, with a faint smile on her face, but she seemed a little indifferent in her heart.
After entering the hall, Jun Zechen helped her sit down slowly, his movements extremely gentle.
Now that her belly is big, she can't stand for long.
"Do you like it?"
Jun Zechen felt a little proud.
He had Ling Yue interrogated and heard that in her previous life, the man did not immediately enthrone her as queen after he ascended the throne. In fact, a series of heartbreaking events happened before she ascended the throne of queen with great difficulty.
In this life, she has been pampered and protected by him since she entered the Eastern Palace. After he ascended the throne, she became his one and only queen, and is now pregnant with their child.
Comparing the two, she should be more in love with him in this life, instead of dreaming about a person who no longer exists in this world.
Su Jingyao looked around and could see every detail wherever her eyes fell. This was all carefully arranged by Jun Zechen.
"I like it very much. Your Majesty has been keeping vigil for the late emperor these days, attending the coronation ceremony, and taking care of state affairs. You don't have to worry too much about me."
Su Jingyao's voice was gentle, but her eyes were serious.
Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen sat down next to her, a funny smile on his lips, and looked at her gently.
"How come you've suddenly become more sensible and even feel sorry for me?"
There was a hint of teasing in Jun Zechen's tone.
Is it because I became a mother that my temperament has become a lot gentler?
He still liked her spoiled and willful side, bright and energetic.
Su Jingyao leaned on him and tilted her head slightly.
"If I am ignorant, I am afraid Your Majesty will not be able to bear it."
"Oh? Is there anything in this world that I cannot bear?"
Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty has always known that I am jealous. When I was in the Eastern Palace, Your Majesty kept it a secret from me that I favored other women. Wasn't it because you were afraid that I would make a scene?"
There was a hint of anger in Su Jingyao's tone.
"I'm just afraid that you'll be unhappy if you hear too much."
Helplessness flashed across Jun Zechen's eyes. He knew that she was possessive of him, just as he wanted to possess her completely.
But he is the emperor, and it is his unshirkable responsibility to continue the royal heirs, and his mother will never allow him to favor only one person.
Su Jingyao, who was leaning on Jun Zechen's shoulder, sneered in her heart, and a barely perceptible chill flashed in her eyes.
Even though he knew that she was unhappy, he would still do those things. To put it bluntly, she did not occupy an important position in his heart now.
But Su Jingyao could also understand that, just like when a man and a woman first fall in love, they would never fall deeply in love instantly. It is as they continue to get to know each other that their feelings gradually heat up until they fall in love.
She closed her eyes slightly, trying to suppress the annoyance in her heart.
From Jun Zechen's current perspective, there is really no need for him to give up those concubines in the harem who are as delicate as flower buds just for a woman he only slightly likes.
After all, he is the emperor, possessing supreme power and the responsibility to produce royal heirs and balance the forces of all parties.
It is even more impossible for him to give up his promise to the late emperor for the sake of her now.
For him, this promise had been kept for decades in his previous life, so how could he change it easily?
Perhaps as time goes by, and Su Jingyao is as deliberate and scheming as she was in the first life, Jun Zechen will feel deeper and deeper for her, just like in the first life, and eventually fall deeply in love with her.
But...Su Jingyao has no such thoughts at all now.
She felt a surge of irritation in her heart.
Maybe she was indeed spoiled by Jun Zechen in her previous two lives and had no law to obey. Why should she try so hard to win his favor in this life?
Moreover, the one she loved was not the one in front of her.
Thinking of this, Su Jingyao's eyes became increasingly dim, and her heart sank a little bit.
"Your Majesty knows that I am unhappy. How do you plan to comfort me?"
Su Jingyao raised her head and looked at Jun Zechen coquettishly, but there was not much expectation in her eyes.
"I have crowned you as the Queen today, and you are not happy?"
Su Jingyao didn't say anything. Her small hands were casually playing with Jun Zechen's ring, and her lowered eyes revealed an indifference that was hard to conceal.
It was like a layer of ice, tightly wrapping her heart.
It's a pity that in this life, power no longer has any appeal to Su Jingyao, and she can choose to sit on the throne of queen or not.
Maybe it's true that after getting it, we no longer care about it.
Su Jingyao has stood at the pinnacle of power in this world for two lifetimes. The pinnacle of power has indeed made people obsessed and intoxicated.
But even if he stood up again, the person next to him was no longer the one he remembered.
If Su Jingyao wants to reach a high position in this life, she will feel unhappy during the process, and the ending does not seem so satisfactory either.
If that’s the case, what’s the point of being the queen?
Jun Zechen, if you can't even attract me with power in this life, what else do you have that's worth me staying with you?
Su Jingyao's eyes became increasingly dim.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Jun Zechen pinched her little hand that was playing with his ring, trying to get her attention.
"Of course I'm happy, but the position of Queen was clearly promised to me by His Majesty a long time ago, so how can this be considered coaxing?"
"Greedy, I'll give you whatever you want, how about that?"
Su Jingyao pulled the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled with pretended satisfaction, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Then she stopped flirting with Jun Zechen.
Perhaps while Jun Zechen doesn't like her that much now, it would be nice to leave the palace, walk the same path she walked with "Jun Zechen" in her second life, see the same scenery, and live her life leisurely and comfortably.
Why go through the same path again in your first life?
Let Jun Zechen continue to return to the trajectory without her in this life, and be a perfect emperor with three palaces and six courtyards, and many wives and concubines, none of which has anything to do with her.
However, she had to think of a way to leave the palace quietly, and even eliminate the biggest threat to Xingxing and the Su family before leaving the palace.
——Ye family.
Only then could she leave with peace of mind.
