Chapter 3 Horseback Riding



After Jun Zechen stepped out of Xiyan Palace, Miaoyun and Miaoxia entered the bedroom.

Su Jingyao got up from the couch and moved to the dressing table. Miaoyun followed closely and began to wash and put on makeup for her gently and carefully.

After a busy period, the costume was finally completed.

Today she was wearing a rose-scented bra made of gauze that was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it exuded a faint fragrance like the morning mist.

She wore a soft green silk skirt with scattered flowers tied around her waist, which made her waist look slender and graceful, swaying in a beautiful manner.

The outer layer is covered with a white chiffon that drags on the ground, fluttering in the wind, as elegant as a fairy.

At this time, the bright morning sunlight shone through the window lattice and fell on Su Jingyao's beautiful face.

She was facing the mirror, examining her face carefully.

Miaoxia, who had just made the bed for her master, walked quietly behind her with a slightly frown on her face.

"Master, you and His Highness did not..." There was a hint of concern and anxiety in her voice.

"Well, His Highness doesn't like me and doesn't want to consummate the marriage with me."

Su Jingyao's voice remained calm, as if this matter had no effect on her at all.

Her gaze remained fixed on herself in the mirror, without the slightest fluctuation.

Miaoxia looked at Su Jingyao with heartache. She grew up with the young lady and came to the Eastern Palace with the young lady.

When the young lady was in the Shangshu Mansion, she was the most pampered young lady. Now that she has come to the Eastern Palace, she is treated so coldly by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"How could His Highness treat you like this? He..."

Before Miaoxia could finish her words, Su Jingyao slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she interrupted her in a firm tone.

"Be careful with your words. This is the Eastern Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the ruler of the Eastern Palace. We are not to make any rash judgments about his actions. Do you understand?"

"Yes, master." Miaoxia replied with her head down.

"Let's go and pay our respects to the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao took graceful steps and slowly walked out of Xiyan Palace.

Outside the palace, the sky is as clear as jade and the clouds are as light as cotton wool.

There was always a sweet smile on her pretty face. She would stop from time to time, look up slightly, and happily watch the flowers blooming along the way.

She is indeed an innocent girl who knows nothing about the world.

It was the first time for the palace maids and eunuchs of the Eastern Palace to see Concubine Su. They did not expect that she would be so charming and beautiful, with an ethereal appearance.

Moreover, there was always a friendly smile on his face, and he looked innocent, kind and approachable.

However, everyone couldn't help but express regret. Ever since the Crown Princess entered the Eastern Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has doted on her alone and has a deep affection for her.

Concubine Su has now entered the Eastern Palace, and she will probably be neglected and lonely in the future.

But they quietly raised their heads and observed Concubine Su, and they also had doubts in their hearts. Could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really remain indifferent to such a beautiful woman?

When Su Jingyao was in the Shangshu Mansion, she was used to the maids staring at her whenever she stepped out of the room.

Today, as she walked along the corridor of the East Palace, many palace maids and eunuchs, whether they were cleaning or watering the flowers, looked at her intentionally or unintentionally. She did not care much and was used to it.

When they arrived at the Crown Princess's palace, Su Jingyao looked up and saw three large characters "Qiluan Palace" written in a flamboyant style.

Su Jingyao smiled. The name of the Crown Princess's palace was quite good. "Phoenix Perched on the Wutong Tree" and "The Phoenix and the Luan Sing in Harmony" both had beautiful meanings.

Then, she walked into the hall with a graceful figure, and as she walked slowly, she admired the exquisite decorations along the way.

Outside the Qiluan Hall, pavilions and towers are scattered in an orderly manner, and the rockery and pool complement each other.

In the water pavilion, the clear water reflects the blue sky and white clouds. The lotus flowers in the pond are graceful and beautiful, and the flowers are in clusters, as dazzling as gorgeous clouds.

The entire building is gorgeous and elegant, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, showing nobility and elegance.

After entering the hall, the Crown Princess was already sitting in the first seat with a dignified demeanor, her eyes calm and her face expressionless.

Ling Yue was used to being free and unrestrained in the frontier. She entered the palace just to spend her life with the prince, and she also believed the prince's promise to her.

But she didn't expect that he would have a concubine in just two years. However, she also knew that it was difficult to disobey the imperial decree.

Ling Yue's free and open-minded heart was filled with a lot of melancholy.

"I come to see my sister, the Crown Princess, and pay my respects to her." Su Jingyao's voice was clear and pleasant, as gentle and melodious as a nightingale, which made people happy to hear.

"Get up."

"Thank you, sister." There was a hint of respect in Su Jingyao's voice.

After she stood up, Ling Yue looked at her face carefully and was distracted for a moment.

Concubine Su is so stunningly beautiful!

Her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, and her slightly curled eyelashes tremble gently like butterfly wings. What makes people fall in love with her most is her eyes that are as clear as morning dew, with distinct black and white, and so pure that it seems without a trace of impurities.

Seeing Su Jingyao's beauty, Ling Yue's eyes flashed with an imperceptible vigilance.

Will Aze really not fall in love with Concubine Su?

She felt a little insecure about herself and had doubts about her husband.

No, Aze is not a man who cares about appearance. If Aze likes beautiful women, he would have many wives and concubines in the East Palace by now. How could he have only two palace maids without any status?

She should trust Aze.

Determination flashed in Ling Yue's eyes. She knew clearly how much pressure Aze had to endure in order to enthrone her as the Crown Princess.

She also knew clearly how much pressure Aze had endured from her mother and court officials in the past two years because she had not become pregnant.

The palace maid beside her brought the tea to Su Jingyao gently. Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on the teacup, and then she stretched out her slender hand and slowly picked up the tea from the palace maid's tray.
