Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power
Chapter 1 Imperial Marriage
This is an elegant woman's boudoir.
A young girl was lying on the chaise longue by the window.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out the girl was only wearing a smoky pink halter top and a pair of white shorts.
The skin of the limbs and navel was thus openly exposed to the air.
The warm, gentle sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon her.
It added a touch of golden glow to her fair and smooth skin.
At this moment, four maids were surrounding her.
Each of them held a delicate little jar, from which they would occasionally take out a glistening white ointment.
It was carefully applied to the girl's long legs, slender arms, delicate waist, cute and fair little feet, and tender, pointed fingers.
One of the maids, Miaoyun, moved particularly gently.
She had just finished the final step of massaging her skin.
She spoke softly, "Miss, your skincare routine for today is complete. Please go for a medicinal bath in an hour. Granny Li is preparing it."
Upon hearing this, the girl turned her head slightly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Okay, you can go out now. I'll read for a while and then I'll be there when it's time."
The girl's voice was soft and sweet; even though it was just a simple sentence, it made one's bones melt.
"Yes, Miss."
After tidying up the various tools and medicine pots, the four maids left the room.
After the maids left, the woman's face could be seen clearly.
Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes like stars, her nose like goose fat, her lips red and her teeth white, her hair like clouds and her face like flowers, as if she were a fairy descended to earth.
The sunlight shone on her face, making her complexion as beautiful as jade, her skin as white as snow, as radiant as the rising sun, and as dazzling as a lotus emerging from green waves.
Su Jingyao gently raised her slender, delicate hand and placed it in front of her eyes, cleverly blocking the light.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.
After her eyes adjusted to the light, she reached out and calmly picked up the gauze skirt that was placed to the side, and smoothly draped it over her shoulders.
With delicate feet lightly touching the ground, she gracefully rose from the chaise longue.
She then took a book of poems and walked gracefully toward the soft couch in the warm pavilion.
Every move, every smile, carries a unique charm.
Su Jingyao lay half-reclined on the soft couch, her elbows resting on a specially made soft pillow, a strand of black hair hanging down.
Having lived in this world for fifteen years, Su Jingyao has completely adapted to life in ancient times.
I even enjoy it more than before.
In modern times, she is an orphan with no family, only herself.
Her upbringing taught Su Jingyao that everything she desired had to be earned through her own hard work.
Therefore, in modern times, she devoted herself to her studies as a child, and as an adult, she meticulously sculpted her appearance and abilities.
She is persistent in doing anything that can improve her quality of life.
Yes, she is a complete egoist.
Men and women made no difference to her.
They are all people who can be exploited.
As for how she came into this world, Su Jingyao still can't figure it out.
Back then, due to immense work pressure and her boyfriend's urging to get married, she randomly picked up a sweet romance novel that night to pass the time.
However, in the end, the novel concludes with the harsh reality crushing the beauty of love.
How is this different from her real life?
She reads novels in search of a beautiful utopia.
Given that this is such a realistic novel, the author should have clearly written a synopsis and warnings.
Su Jingyao felt deeply deceived. She had originally wanted to relax through a sweet romance novel, but the more she read, the more she found herself unable to escape the troubles of reality.
What's the point of her reading this book?
Outraged, she immediately published a lengthy review of several hundred words, heavily criticizing the author.
Only after doing this did I feel a little more at ease, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she found herself to be the infant daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat of the Jun Dynasty, and she even shared the same name as her.
Five years ago, she learned by chance from her father that the current emperor had named the empress's eldest son, Jun Zechen, as the crown prince.
Only then did she realize what had happened.
Jun Zechen, isn't he the male protagonist in the novel she read?
It turns out that Su Jingyao was the cannon fodder who interfered in the relationship between the male lead Jun Zechen and the female lead Ling Yue.
Ah, how interesting.
Jun Zechen was made crown prince at the age of fifteen, and went to the battlefield at the age of seventeen, where he met Ling Yue, the daughter of General Ling.
Ling Yue grew up in the border region, where she rode horses freely and unrestrainedly, with a simple mind.
The crown prince, who grew up in the palace, was deeply attracted by her unique personality.
After returning victorious, the eighteen-year-old crown prince married seventeen-year-old Ling Yue.
Furthermore, he made a promise to the Crown Princess: "Of all the waters in the world, I will only drink from one."
However, two years have passed, and Ling Yue has still not been able to give birth to a child.
The Empress was displeased and issued an edict ordering the Crown Prince to marry Su Jingyao, the daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, as his concubine in order to ensure the continuation of the imperial line.
In the original text, Su Jingyao married into the family at a time when the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were deeply in love.
Su Jingyao was pampered since childhood and has a gentle and soft personality.
After their marriage, the Crown Prince refused to touch her, causing her to suffer constant ridicule in the Eastern Palace.
She watched helplessly as her husband loathed her, while the Empress kept pressing her every few days about when she would become pregnant.
Not only that, the servants in the Eastern Palace also gossiped about her behind her back.
In the end, she died in sorrow, her beauty fading away.
When Su Jingyao first saw this part, she thought the male lead was quite good, truly fulfilling his promise to be with the female lead for life.
However, even after the male protagonist ascended the throne, the empress still failed to bear any children.
The subsequent plot naturally involves the male protagonist selecting concubines.
How could the empress, who was always protected by the male lead, possibly be a match for those concubines?
In the end, the male protagonist no longer had the feelings he had for the female protagonist when they were young.
How ridiculous!
However, this Su Jingyao is not the same Su Jingyao as before.
No matter what means she uses, her life will surely soar to great heights!
Since the female lead's world is destined to be dark, then Su Jingyao will let the so-called female lead see the real and ugly face ahead of time!
Fortunately, Su Jingyao's background was quite good.
Her mother was her father Su Hongyu's legal wife, and the two were considered a harmonious couple. She also had an older brother who had just turned twenty.
The reason why her mother and father can be considered to be in a harmonious relationship is because, in the original text, at this time, her father doted on Aunt Xu.
From the age of ten, Su Jingyao had her mother prepare various skin care tools and medicinal herbs for her, and she also had dozens of maids who would apply and massage her skin every day.
No matter the era, a woman's appearance is a deadly weapon.
And her methods and ways of seducing men would always subtly influence her mother.
for example.
"Mother, Father was at Aunt Xu's place again today. He said in the storybook that even husband and wife should always keep things fresh. You should change into this gauze dress. You'll look absolutely gorgeous."
"Mother, you shouldn't always think of Father. You are well-versed in poetry and literature, so why try to please Father? You should express your own opinions and thoughts more often."
"Mother, is today your wedding anniversary with Father? Why don't you prepare a surprise for him?"
"Mother, Father was in the wrong today. If you're angry, you should show it on your face. Next time Father comes, just refuse to let him in."
"..."
Over the past few years, Su Jingyao has been subtly influencing her mother, and she would never allow a concubine to rise above her mother.
Nowadays, her father probably adores her mother.
She can be affectionate and clingy, discuss poetry and life with him, and manage household affairs and the backyard for him.
When such a perfect woman appears before a man, all other forms of true love pale in comparison.
Su Jingyao wants to be the perfect woman in a man's eyes.
Su Jingyao flipped through the pages of the book in her hand. She had been reading this book of poems since she was a child, and had read it five times already. But every time she read it, she felt that each poem represented a kind of life and contained a kind of sentiment.
She could not match the poets' boundless passion, nor could she achieve their carefree and detached spirit, let alone comprehend the ultimate tender emotions in their poems.
All she knew was: only by putting herself first could she find peace.
But it doesn't matter, she'll pretend.
The soft sunlight streaming through the window intertwines with the wisps of smoke rising from the incense burner, creating a serene and warm atmosphere.
Su Jingyao glanced at the time and slowly stood up.
It's time to take a medicinal bath.
She put down the book in her hand and slowly walked towards the inner chamber of her boudoir.
"Miss, the medicine is ready. Please undress."
Su Jingyao nodded, gently raised her hand, and lightly loosened her dress, which fluttered to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, one can see that the young girl's skin is flushed with rosy light, her feet are delicate and slender, and her beauty is absolutely stunning.
Su Jingyao lightly lifted her jade-like foot and stepped into the bathtub made of white jade.
Steam rose, carrying a delicate fragrance mixed with a hint of medicinal aroma.
This was a formula specially prepared for her by a female doctor she hired at great expense from the common people, who specialized in conditioning women's bodies.
It contains flowers such as roses, jasmine, and lilies that can moisturize the skin, as well as rare medicinal herbs such as angelica, astragalus, lingzhi, and snow lotus that nourish the body and beautify the skin.
The medicinal soup is then made by adding the female doctor's own precious spices. It is brewed every day, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive.
But all efforts are rewarded.
Su Jingyao stroked her fair and delicate skin, which she herself loved dearly, let alone men.
As always, Granny Li came to Su Jingyao's side and began to massage her.
Her massage was different from the massages given by the maids before. Not only had she learned it specifically from a female doctor, but the massage points were also different.
Granny Li's hands moved gently yet firmly, skillfully tracing Su Jingyao's body.
Su Jingyao had a blush on her face, her eyes were alluring, and her gaze was captivating, exuding a myriad of charms.
Even though Li Mama saw her young mistress's alluring demeanor every day, she was often lost in thought.
The hot spring bath lasted for half an hour. Su Jingyao felt as if all her strength had been drained. She lay on the edge of the tub, panting heavily.
After calming down, she stepped out of the bathtub with the help of her nanny.
Her fair, smooth, and delicate body was instantly and completely exposed.
The nanny gently wiped the water droplets from the young lady's body, then brought her a dress and carefully helped her put it on.
Throughout the process, Su Jingyao was like a delicate flower, carefully tended and cared for.
Just as Su Jingyao finished dressing, Miaoxia hurriedly walked in, her tone filled with anxiety.
"Miss, please hurry to the main hall, an imperial edict has arrived."
Su Jingyao raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
This imperial edict must be to bestow her upon the Crown Prince as his concubine.
When Su Jingyao arrived at the hall, Eunuch Dehai, who was by His Majesty's side, had already arrived.
Upon seeing her, Su Hongyu hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, come here quickly."
"Your humble servant, Su Jingyao, greets Your Excellency."
Su Jingyao wore a playful green dress, which made her look even more ethereal and peerless.
Even Eunuch Dehai, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the palace, couldn't help but be captivated by her appearance.
The Minister of the Imperial Secretariat has truly given birth to a wonderful daughter.
"It's alright. I came in a hurry and didn't give any advance notice. Now that Miss Su has arrived, please accept the decree."
After Dehai finished speaking, everyone in the hall knelt down, pressing their foreheads against the backs of their hands, which were clasped together on the ground, showing great respect.
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Dehai's shrill voice rang out in the hall.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"
I, by the mandate of Heaven, rule over the four seas, my heart is with the nation, and I am concerned for the future of the country and its successors.
Now there is Su Jingyao, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat. She is outstanding in appearance and character, and possesses both virtue and talent. She is truly a model of virtue for young ladies.
I consider her virtuous and kind nature to be a suitable match for me, and hereby bestow upon Su Jingyao the title of Crown Prince's concubine to assist the Eastern Palace.
Half a month later, the wedding ceremony will be held, a grand royal ceremony to demonstrate the Emperor's great favor.
May the two of them treat each other with respect and affection, and have a son soon to continue the royal bloodline.
So be it!
"Your subject/wife/your humble servant receives the imperial decree."
After Eunuch Dehai left, Su Jingyao's mother, Liu Jingxian, looked worried.
"Master, I was already choosing a husband for Yao Yao. Yao Yao is our beloved daughter, whom we both grew up with. I wanted her to be our principal wife, but now..."
Although Liu Jingxian is thirty-three years old, her face is still soft and firm.
Her words were full of worry for her daughter, and Su Hongyu felt a pang of sympathy listening to her.
But this is an imperial edict, and cannot be disobeyed.
"How could I not know that? Besides, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have a very deep relationship. I'm afraid Yao Yao will suffer some grievances if she marries into the Crown Prince's family."
As a sheltered woman, Liu Jingxian was unaware of the Crown Prince's romantic affairs.
However, Su Hongyu knew clearly that when the Crown Prince went to war, he fell in love with General Ling's daughter. If the Crown Princess hadn't been unable to have children, His Majesty wouldn't have bestowed Yao Yao upon the Crown Prince now.
Since marrying his wife, the Crown Prince has refused to take concubines, but now his Yao Yao is determined to be the first to do so.
Su Hongyu was somewhat worried that the Crown Prince was taking his anger out on Yao Yao.
Hey.
But we can't tell everything now, otherwise my wife will be even more heartbroken, and my daughter will be worried.
"Father, Mother, I'm alright. I'm willing to marry His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Even if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me, I will live a good life in the Eastern Palace and not worry my father and mother."
Hearing her daughter's sensible words, Liu Jingxian couldn't help but shed tears.
"Your mother should have arranged a marriage for you earlier, so you wouldn't be forced into this marriage now and have no choice. It's all your mother's fault for wanting to keep you for another year."
"Mother, the Crown Prince is handsome and dignified. Although I will not be his principal wife, I will still be included in the royal family register. In the future, our family will also be related to the imperial family."
"If your daughter isn't sad, then mother shouldn't be sad for her daughter either, okay?"
Su Hongyu felt sorry for his wife's tears and gently pulled her into his arms.
His gaze then fell on Su Jingyao.
"Yaoyao, the Su family will always be your support. If you need anything after you marry into the family, remember to write to your father and mother. Don't keep it to yourself."
"Yes, Father and Mother are the best. Your daughter will remember this."
