Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

"Princess Ruixi, the prince's residence is not a place you can enter. You should obediently return with me."

An anxious old woman trotted behind Jun Jiayue, who was walking ahead, pleading with her.

Jun Jiayue wore an exquisite double-loop bun, with a pair of blue phoenix and gold hairpins swaying slightly with her steps. She wore a pink gauze dress, with blooming hibiscus flowers embroidered on the hem that seemed to dance in the wind.

A pale purple ribbon was tied around her waist, fluttering like a wisp of smoke.

Although her legs are short now, she walks briskly with the wind on her feet, her skirt swaying, adding to her playfulness and agility.

Jun Jiayue seemed not to hear the anxious words of the old woman behind her, and continued to walk forward without looking to the side, her small chin slightly raised, her eyes revealing stubbornness and pride.

In her heart, there was no place in the palace that she could not go.

"Granny Qin, as long as you don't tell the Empress Dowager, no one will know that I went to the Princes' Academy. I'm the only princess in the palace right now; all my brothers are studying there. I want to go too!"

As Jun Jiayue spoke, she quickened her pace, her lips slightly pouting, her face showing her willfulness.

She was all alone and had no one to keep her company; she was so bored.

Moreover, Jun Moyan is also in the Prince's quarters. They are twins, so of course she can go too!

Jun Jiayue never calls Jun Moyan "elder brother" in private. Why should he be the older brother just because he came out first? Father Emperor said that she came out later because she stayed in Mother's womb for a longer time, so she can be the older sister.

Thinking of this, she pouted and snorted.

When the palace servants of the prince's residence saw Princess Ruixi approaching from afar, they all looked terrified, but none of them dared to stop her. They could only let her in with trepidation.

At this time, the princes were taking a break between classes.

Inside the Princes' quarters, besides the princes themselves, there were also children sent in by various ministers, who served as the princes' companions and studied together.

When Jun Moyan saw his younger sister approaching, his face darkened instantly. He walked up to Jun Jiayue, his tone tinged with annoyance, "Royal sister, why are you here again!"

Jun Jiayue glared at Jun Moyan in a place where no one could see her, and said in a spoiled manner, "I'm just bored. You are all studying at the Prince's Academy, and I can only follow my aunts."

She pouted, her lips pursed high, clearly dissatisfied.

"But didn't Mother arrange various courses for you in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? Have you mastered them all?"

Jun Moyan crossed his arms, stared intently at her, and questioned her.

"I am exceptionally intelligent, and I naturally mastered the knowledge taught to me by my aunts early on. Otherwise, why would I have come to the Prince's residence to find you?"

Jun Jiayue raised her chin, her proud demeanor like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, radiant with pride.

Jun Moyan couldn't help but raise his hand and slap her forehead, saying with a hint of reproach, "You have no manners! I am your imperial brother, yet you address me as 'this palace'?"

Jun Jiayue sniffed, snorted, and turned her head away from him.

Just as Jun Jiayue and Jun Moyan were playfully bickering, a boy of about eleven years old was looking intently at the Fifth Prince and Princess Ruixi through the window.

The eight-year-old girl had a fair and smooth face with a faint pink hue, like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom in spring.

Beneath her arched eyebrows were a pair of large, watery eyes, bright and clear like sparkling stars.

Her small nose was slightly upturned, and her cherry-red lips were as delicate as flower petals. Whenever she smiled slightly, two shallow dimples would appear, making her extremely cute and irresistible.

Seeing Wei Zixiao staring out the window, seemingly lost in thought, the Third Prince slowly walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Zixiao, what are you looking at?"

Startled by the sudden slap, Wei Zixiao hurriedly turned around, his eyes filled with panic. "No, it's nothing."

He was the Fifth Prince's study companion and had only recently entered the palace, so he did not know Princess Ruixi.

After regaining his composure, he asked curiously, "Third Prince, is the little girl outside talking to the Fifth Prince Princess Ruixi?"

The only person who could so boldly and recklessly barge into the prince's residence could be Princess Ruixi, who is showered with affection.

"Yes, I didn't expect my younger sister to come again today. If Her Majesty the Empress finds out, she will surely be punished."

The Third Prince shook his head slightly, but his eyes were full of doting affection as he looked at Jun Jiayue.

Wei Zixiao lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. He then straightened his sleeves, calmly walked out of the schoolhouse, and headed towards the Fifth Prince.

"Fifth Prince, shall we discuss the issues concerning people's livelihood that the Grand Tutor just lectured on? He will probably ask about them later."

Wei Zixiao bowed slightly, his face respectful, his eyes showing seriousness and focus.

After speaking, as if he had just noticed Princess Ruixi beside him, a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face, and his mouth opened slightly.

"Is this... His Majesty's only princess, Princess Ruixi?"

The Fifth Prince nodded slightly, then said, "Zixiao is right. We need to discuss this carefully."

He didn't want to be scolded by the Grand Tutor later, and then be compared to his eldest brother. His eldest brother was a genius, and who among the princes could do better in their studies than his eldest brother?

Wei Zixiao turned his gaze to Jun Jiayue, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes the moment their eyes met.

He then hurriedly bowed and said, "This humble subject, Wei Zixiao, greets Princess Ruixi."

Jun Jiayue stared at him with her big, watery eyes, her gaze full of inquiry.

I don't think I've ever seen this person before when I visited the prince's residence.

He's... better looking than Jun Moyan!

Jun Jiayue's eyes suddenly lit up, like two jewels, radiating light.

Get up.

Wei Zixiao looked at the girl's undisguised affection and felt satisfied. The corners of his mouth turned up, and the smile on his face flashed by.

He then said to the Fifth Prince, "Alright, let's go now."

As he turned around, a faint smile remained in Wei Zixiao's eyes.

Jun Jiayue stared blankly at the departing figures of Wei Zixiao and Jun Moyan, lost in thought for a moment. She used to think that her eldest brother was the most handsome man besides her father, but now she thought that Wei Zixiao's appearance was almost comparable to that of her eldest brother!

Seeing the princess lost in thought, Granny Qin couldn't help but whisper, "Princess, let's go back. The princes are all in class."

Jun Jiayue lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, as if she had some thoughts in her mind.

She said slowly, "Alright, Granny, let's go back."

After returning home, Jun Jiayue focused intently on completing her studies, but kept a close eye on the time.

Soon, it will be the hour of Mao (5-7 AM).

Then they should be dismissed from get out of class.

Jun Jiayue rolled her eyes and chased away all the maids around her. Then she pretended to be studying diligently in her room. Once she was sure no one was paying attention, she nimbly flipped over and jumped out of a window.

With a cheerful smile on her face, Jun Jiayue jogged towards the only way to the palace, determined to ambush the person!

Afterwards, she pretended to be calm and walked nonchalantly along the palace path, looking like a cunning little fox.

Wei Zixiao deliberately avoided the other companions today, walking slowly at the very back. When he arrived at the palace gate and saw Princess Ruixi, he couldn't hide his surprise.

She was actually waiting for him!

Wei Zixiao suppressed a laugh, quickly walked up to Princess Ruixi, and respectfully bowed to greet her.

"Are you General Wei's grandson?"

Jun Jiayue tilted her head slightly and looked directly at him as she asked.

"Yes."

When Wei Zixiao answered, there was a hint of restraint in his eyes.

"I have heard my eldest brother mention General Wei. He learned a great deal from the Wei family."

As Jun Jiayue spoke, she put her hands behind her back and gently shook her head.

"Yes, the eldest prince is very intelligent, and my grandfather often tells me to learn from him."

Wei Zixiao lowered his head slightly, his tone humble.

Jun Jiayue nodded, her face full of pride. She wouldn't pretend to be modest. In her heart, her eldest brother was a chosen one of heaven, and there was nothing he couldn't do.

"I rarely leave the palace. Is there an opportunity for me to study at the Wei residence?"

Jun Jiayue blinked her big eyes, her gaze filled with anticipation.

She just thought he was good-looking, and also wanted to make friends with the women of the Wei family. She was the only girl in the palace, which was really boring.

"If the princess wishes to come, the Wei family will certainly welcome her, as long as we can obtain Her Majesty the Empress's consent," Wei Zixiao replied cautiously.

Jun Jiayue frowned and pouted.

"Don't you have any sisters in your household? You can have them invite me to visit the Wei residence."

That way she wouldn't have to beg her mother, and... she was afraid her mother wouldn't agree.

If Su Jingyao knew that her daughter had been seduced by a man because of his looks, she would probably doubt whether she was the mother of the child.

Wei Zixiao chuckled inwardly at the princess's lame excuse, but didn't show it. The princess was not only beautiful and lovely, but also had a charmingly straightforward personality.

"Alright, I'll go back and have my sister invite the princess."

After achieving her goal, Jun Jiayue's face broke into a satisfied smile.

"Well, it's getting late. You should go back now. I should also go back to have dinner with the Empress Dowager."

After saying that, Jun Jiayue turned and left.

The Empress Dowager treated the Emperor the same way; no matter what she wanted, she couldn't show it in front of him, nor could she let Wei Zixiao discover her thoughts.

Moreover, she didn't actually like him; he was just reasonably good-looking.

"Yes, this humble subject takes his leave." Wei Zixiao bowed.

Jun Jiayue held her head high, like a proud little peacock, and walked briskly along the palace path back to Kunning Palace.
