Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

When Su Jingyao woke up, her eyes were wide open, filled with surprise.

She subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

Didn't she die peacefully as Empress Dowager?

How can he still be alive?

Su Jingyao frowned, full of suspicion.

Does she really have some kind of female lead aura?

Can't die?

Su Jingyao composed herself and began to look around at her surroundings.

When she saw the familiar layout, her expression instantly turned sour. Wasn't this the boudoir where she had lived for fifteen years in her previous life?

Her life in her previous life was already smooth and fulfilling; she was very satisfied and didn't need to live it again! (Emmmm, your fans are letting you do it all over again, honey!)

Hearing the slight commotion of her mistress waking up, Miaoxia, who was outside the boudoir, immediately rushed in as fast as the wind.

"Miss, you're awake. Let me help you with your hair and makeup." Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying the vitality of a young girl.

Su Jingyao looked at Miaoxia. When Miaoxia was twenty-five, Su Jingyao had arranged a marriage for her. Now, decades had passed since she last saw her.

Looking at Miaoxia, who was only eleven or twelve years old and had a very childish face, I was filled with emotion.

Then Su Jingyao put on her shoes and got out of bed, quickly walked to the dressing table, and stared at herself in the mirror.

Has she reversed the aging process and become young again?

Looking at the child, who appeared to be only about ten years old, Su Jingyao frowned and fell into deep thought.

Which timeline am I on right now?

Did she transmigrate here in her previous life and live for ten years, or did she directly transmigrate into the original owner's body?

Su Jingyao sat down next to the dressing table without making a sound, her eyes seemingly casual but actually very careful as she examined the bottles and jars of skincare products on the table, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seems that she was still herself for the past ten years, only now she has memories of the next few decades.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Seeing her mistress's series of unusual actions, Miaoxia felt a little strange and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. My face was a little uncomfortable just now. I thought I scratched it while I was sleeping. Let me take a look in the mirror."

Su Jingyao made up a reason on the spot, her expression extremely natural.

Miaoxia nodded. She knew very well that her young mistress valued her appearance highly and took great care of her body every day, not to mention her beautiful face.

Miaoxia walked behind Su Jingyao, picked up a comb, and began to style her hair.

Su Jingyao's eyes were somewhat unfocused. Did she have to walk the same path again?

In her previous life, Jun Zechen had been completely tamed by her. The two of them knew everything about each other, and undeniably, she spent the rest of her life immersed in her love for him.

While they still had the energy, the two traveled to every corner of the dynasty. When they were old and gray, they settled in the imperial palace.

The two of them supported each other through a long life, and now, looking back, Su Jingyao feels a surge of warmth in her heart.

But suddenly without his company, a nameless sadness welled up in my heart.

The Jun Zechen she is now is not her husband, and at this time, Jun Zechen is extremely arrogant and detestable.

Su Jingyao pursed her lips, unsure of what to do.

-

Su Jingyao has adapted fairly smoothly in the few days since she returned to her previous life.

After all, this is a path I've walked in my past life, and I'm very familiar with many things.

Every day in her boudoir, she would sometimes rest her chin on her hand in deep thought, and sometimes squint her eyes slightly, recalling the little things from the past.

She had also mentioned the Crown Prince to her father, intentionally or unintentionally, and learned from him that Jun Zechen was sixteen years old this year. So, if we calculate it that way, she is now eleven years old.

Su Jingyao was filled with conflicting emotions.

Does Jun Zechen now have the same memories as her from before, or does he not?

Should she take the initiative to find him in this life?

These questions swirled in her mind, disturbing her peace of mind.

Before Su Jingyao could think any further, Miaoyun and Miaoxia walked in with light steps.

"Miss, let me help you get dressed. Master just sent word that the Crown Prince is coming to the manor today to discuss important matters. Master invited the Crown Prince to stay for lunch, and since he did, we'd like you to dine in the front hall with him."

Su Jingyao was stunned for a moment, and even unconsciously blinked her thick eyelashes.

In her past life, Jun Zechen never came to her house for lunch. Could it be that Jun Zechen also has memories and has come to find her?

Thinking of this, a sense of joy welled up in my heart, and happiness spread like ripples through my soul.

But she quickly suppressed her emotions.

After tidying up, Su Jingyao walked gracefully towards the front hall.

The Crown Prince sat upright in the main seat, while his father and mother sat respectfully to one side.

Jun Zechen's eyes lit up when he saw eleven-year-old Yao Yao.

She wore a light pink fitted long dress with delicate embroidery. Her pretty face still had a bit of baby fat, making her look especially cute.

Her long hair reached her waist and fell smoothly down her back, already hinting at the stunning beauty she would later possess.

"Your subject, Su Jingyao, greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Jingyao curtsied slightly, her voice clear and melodious, like a mountain stream.

Jun Zechen trembled slightly, as if he were in a dream. After a moment of stunned silence, he coughed to cover up his lapse in composure.

Get up.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, and then sat down on the other side of Jun Zechen.

Looking at the specially prepared meal in front of Su Jingyao, Jun Zechen truly felt that she was his Yao Yao, but he was still unsure whether Yao Yao had the same memories as him.

Su Jingyao ate her meal with great poise, taking small bites. Her lowered eyelashes trembled slightly like two small fans, concealing the surprise in her eyes.

The moment she entered, Jun Zechen's burning gaze upon her made her instantly realize that he, like her, must carry memories of his past life.

Since that's the case, she'll have to tease him a bit.

Thinking of this, Su Jingyao couldn't help but smile slightly.

At the dinner table, it was mostly Father and Jun Zechen who were talking. However, Jun Zechen would also intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation toward her, trying to find out about her.

"Lord Su, a few days ago, Jade Dragon City sent a batch of butterfly carp as tribute; they are quite beautiful."

Jun Zechen casually spoke while picking up food with his chopsticks, his eyes not falling on Su Jingyao.

"If Your Highness wishes, you may arrange for Jade Dragon City to send tribute every year," Su Hongyu replied respectfully.

Jun Zechen turned his head slightly, his tone very gentle.

"Does Miss Su like butterfly koi?"

"I like it. I've only ever seen descriptions of butterfly koi in books, and I've never actually seen one before."

Su Jingyao looked up; the child's eyes were big and round, filled with clarity.

Su Hongyu almost choked, but he didn't show it.

When the Crown Prince spoke to Yao Yao, his voice became a little softer.

"In that case, after lunch, would Miss Su like to go with me to take a look? If Miss Su likes it, I will have it delivered to the Su residence."

Seeing the Crown Prince so different from before, and witnessing his gentle and considerate manner towards his daughter, Su Hongyu couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

Could it be that Your Highness has taken a fancy to his daughter?

Although Yao Yao has been exceptionally intelligent and adorable since childhood, she is only eleven years old now. Does Your Highness only prefer younger ones?

Su Hongyu frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, and his smile became a little stiff.

Su Jingyao did not answer Jun Zechen immediately, but turned to look at her father with an innocent expression, her eyes filled with questioning and dependence.

Su Hongyu was conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that his daughter was too young to be too close to the Crown Prince. On the other hand, if his daughter could have the Crown Prince as a backer, it would be good even if she didn't marry him in the future. If she could win the Crown Prince's favor, the Su family could rise to a higher level.

Although he had thought about it a lot, he finally spoke: "Yaoyao rarely goes out. Since Your Highness is willing to take my daughter to see the butterfly koi, then I will trouble Your Highness to do so."

"Yes, I will certainly protect Miss Su."

Madam Su sat next to Su Hongyu, observing the Crown Prince discreetly.

He is powerful and handsome, a perfect match.

After the meal, Su Jingyao left the mansion with Jun Zechen.

Jun Zechen took her to the Crown Prince's residence outside the palace.
