"Your Zhaochun Palace was carefully prepared by me at the Imperial Household Department. The silks, brocades, and jewelry you like are all of the finest quality. When I look for these things in the palace, I always think of you first."
This woman had a greater influence on him than Ling Yue, and he spent more time and effort on her than on anyone else.
She had been pampered since childhood and lived a very refined life. The items he sent to her were either tributes or treasures presented by various cities.
But she actually said that he didn't like her.
"It was your birthday yesterday, and I carefully considered it and selected something from the warehouse that you would like."
"But I don't like it!"
"The things Your Majesty sent were already within Your Majesty's reach. Like me, Your Majesty has been accustomed to treasures since childhood. Even if the things Your Majesty gave were exquisite and magnificent, they did not surprise or delight me."
Jun Zechen's face was tense. This was the first time someone had so blatantly disdained his reward.
His deep eyes were like a cold pond, staring at her intently.
Su Jingyao also looked at him without fear.
Then she lowered her head, not wanting to continue discussing the gift issue, and asked softly.
"Your Majesty, do you know why I haven't slept yet?"
Jun Zechen pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I have been waiting for your Majesty's birthday wishes..."
Jun Zechen's pupils suddenly contracted.
She was so sad just now, and he was only thinking about how to comfort her, so much so that he even forgot to tell her happy birthday.
The crystal tears in Su Jingyao's eyes fell onto the quilt drop by drop like beads that had broken off the string.
When Jun Zechen saw her crying, his heart suddenly tightened and he bent down in panic.
His slender fingers gently wiped away the tears that hung on her face like pearls.
His eyes were full of pity, and he whispered, "It's my fault. Yaoyao, tell me, whatever you want, I will satisfy you."
Su Jingyao's long eyelashes, which were filled with tears, trembled slightly.
She wants to be the queen, will he give it to her?
However, she would not ask for the position of queen on her own initiative. She wanted him to offer it to her willingly.
She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Anything is OK?"
After hearing her say this, Jun Zechen felt a little relieved.
As long as she wants it, he will give it to her. Stop being so angry and just be sad.
He nodded, "Well, whatever Yaoyao wants, I can give it to her."
Su Jingyao stared at him intently, her eyes firm.
"If Your Majesty has not come, Your Majesty is not allowed to sleep in the bed of Zhaochun Palace."
Jun Zechen looked helpless, but her eyes made it impossible for him to refuse.
I could only nod and say, "Okay."
Su Jingyao calmed down.
"I like butterfly carp. I heard that this fish is completely white, and its fins are as graceful and agile as butterfly wings, long and numerous. Its scales appear colorful in the sun, which is very beautiful."
"I've seen it in the 'Records of Strange Beasts' in my father's study. I'd like to keep it in the palace. Your Majesty, how about finding it for me?"
When Su Jingyao accidentally saw the introduction of butterfly carp in the book, she was filled with curiosity.
We once spent a lot of money to have people look for it, but we still couldn't find it.
The reason she was curious was that butterfly carp are artificially cultivated in modern times and there are no wild butterfly carp at all.
The top-quality butterfly carp is beautiful and noble, and is a kind of ornamental fish with high appearance value.
She really likes it.
Moreover, butterfly carp has extremely high requirements for the ecological environment. Even if it is found, it may not be easy to bring it back to the capital alive.
Since Jun Zechen stood her up on her birthday, how could she not give him a good beating?
Does he think women are so easy to please?
Jun Zechen frowned slightly. He had never heard of the butterfly carp.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as this thing exists, how can he not find it?
His eyes were firm, and he said decisively: "Okay, whatever Yaoyao wants, I will give it to you."
"Then Your Majesty, please return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity." Su Jingyao said lightly.
There was no sign of Butterfly Carp now, so naturally she couldn't let him get into her bed.
The tactic of playing hard to get and being ambiguous makes people feel uneasy.
Things that are too easy to get will never be cherished.
Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t she no longer angry?
