Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Inside the carriage, Su Jingyao sat upright on one side, her back ramrod straight, her youthful face still showing the awkwardness of meeting someone she didn't know well.

Jun Zechen's eyes were filled with undisguised possessiveness. Regardless of whether she had any memories of their future, she was his, and always would be.

"Does Miss Su have a man she likes?" Jun Zechen suddenly asked.

He didn't miss any subtle changes on her face.

Su Jingyao's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly looked up, her eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

"I rarely go out and have never seen many men. Moreover, I am still young and do not know what liking someone means."

Her voice trailed off, and her small hands unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her palm, as if she didn't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince would ask such an inappropriate question.

Seeing her shy and nervous appearance, Jun Zechen found her so adorable that he couldn't help but want to tease her.

Was Yao Yao like this when she was little?

She's so cute, Jun Zechen couldn't suppress the urge to pinch her cheeks.

"Since Miss Su has no man she desires, would you be willing to become my Crown Princess?"

In a few months, he would be going to war beyond the Great Wall, and of course he wanted to keep his wife by his side. But when he returned from the war, she had been kidnapped by someone else.

Jun Zechen knew how popular she was in the aristocratic family back then.

Su Jingyao froze for a moment, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.

"Your Highness, marriage is a major event, and it is a matter of parental consent and matchmaker's words. I, your humble daughter, have no say in the matter."

Her voice was filled with obvious panic, and she lowered her head even further, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

The little girl was too easily embarrassed, so Jun Zechen simply waved his hand and decisively pulled the reserved little girl onto his lap.

Su Jingyao was so frightened by the sudden action that her face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes were filled with terror.

She bit her red lips and said coquettishly, "Let me go! I never imagined Your Highness would be such a lecherous man!"

"I fell in love with Miss Su at first sight. Tomorrow I will ask my father and mother for permission to make Miss Su my fiancée."

Jun Zechen held her tightly, making it impossible for her to move, and his words were as domineering as ever.

"So let me hug you."

He wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his head on her shoulder, and took a deep breath.

He was feeling her presence, sensing her breath.

Jun Zechen finally saw his Yao Yao again, and his heart felt completely filled.

Su Jingyao was speechless.

She's only eleven years old, you big pervert!

Jun Zechen hugged him for a while, then felt warm water droplets dripping onto the back of his hand.

Were those her tears?!

Jun Zechen panicked a little and quickly turned her head to look at her.

"What's wrong? Don't cry."

"I...I'm scared..." Su Jingyao sobbed.

How could she not be scared when a man she had only met once came up and hugged her so casually?

"Don't you want to be my Crown Princess?"

Jun Zechen frowned slightly, but spoke gently as he reached out his finger to wipe away her tears that kept rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm not grown up yet."

Su Jingyao looked at him with a wronged expression.

Jun Zechen chuckled softly, his laughter filled with doting affection.

"I'll wait until you grow up before I marry you."

For now, we'll just stamp it; his people will naturally be protected under his wing.

"Your Highness has never known me, how can you so casually say you want to marry me?"

Su Jingyao raised her head, her eyes filled with doubt and unease, and looked straight at him.

"Am I not getting to know you now?"

Jun Zechen's eyes were full of patience and focus.

"Your Highness embraced me today. If word gets out, my reputation will be ruined. My father and mother will be angry and say that I have disgraced the Su family's reputation. I grew up in my boudoir and have never been so intimate with a man before."

"It won't get out. I won't let Yao Yao's reputation suffer any damage. Only I can hold you."

"But His Highness has never asked me if I like him," Su Jingyao said, dissatisfied.

"You're still young and easily deceived by other men. From now on, only look at me. I will treat you well for the rest of my life. You will love me."

Jun Zechen knew that she would go out with many young men from noble families every year during the Flower Festival, all of whom were in love with her. Now that he had been reborn, he naturally couldn't let her have anyone in her heart.

She married him because of the imperial decree. Jun Zechen didn't know if she had any other men she liked before. The only one he remembered was the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an.

He's the one who's lying.

Su Jingyao's lips twitched.

Jun Zechen then coaxed her, asking, "So, what kind of man do you like?"

"It's beautiful, and it can protect me."

"Whatever Yao Yao likes, I will become that way."

"When you grow up, I will marry you, and I will only marry you."

Jun Zechen said decisively.

"Your Highness is lying, you are the Crown Prince..."

As she spoke, the little girl's tears started falling uncontrollably, streaming down her rosy cheeks.

"I am the Crown Prince. Anything I want to do, I can do."

Jun Zechen's tone grew even gentler as he pulled her into his arms, trying to offer some comfort.

"Your Highness, I am still young, and I am four years away from coming of age. In these four years, Your Highness will meet many women. I can't believe that Your Highness will still like me four years from now."

She kept her head down while speaking, her voice soft and gentle.

Jun Zechen was speechless for a moment. Yao Yao's current worries were just like when he said before that he cared most about her and not about Ling Yue. No matter what he said, he couldn't gain her trust at all.

This life is a rebirth bestowed upon him by heaven, and he only wants her.

After regaining his memories of his past life some time ago, he couldn't wait to find an excuse to come to the Su residence. Today, upon seeing her and learning that she had no memories of her past life, he felt somewhat disappointed.

But being able to watch her grow up, Jun Zechen felt he should be content.

Just now, the two of them were sitting in the carriage, and she sat obediently to one side with her small body. Jun Zechen couldn't help but want to get close to her.

"It's alright, I'll prove it to you in the next few years."

"Then, Your Highness, could you refrain from requesting an imperial decree to grant us the marriage?"

Jun Zechen looked puzzled. "Why?"

"I'm afraid Your Highness won't like me anymore in a few years... I want to find a husband who loves me."

Su Jingyao lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

It turns out that she had always wanted to find someone who loved her since she was a child. So, when she married into the Eastern Palace in her previous life, was she even more afraid and apprehensive?

Thinking of this, Jun Zechen felt even more tenderness for her.

When she first entered the Eastern Palace, Jun Zechen knew how excessive he had been, and what this woman wanted most was his favoritism, but he only realized this much later.

However, Jun Zechen was impressed that she was fortunate to be competitive and not a woman who would sit idly by and wait for her fate.

Even if she married a man who didn't love her back then, she would definitely do everything she could to make him fall in love with her. Jun Zechen was also very lucky to have her intelligence and courage.

The carriage arrived at the Crown Prince's residence quickly.

Su Jingyao got off the carriage before him. In front of outsiders, the two of them maintained proper etiquette. Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly, showing her shyness and dignity.

Jun Zechen, on the other hand, exuded an air of authority.

After regaining his memories of his past life, he immediately used them to have the people of Jade Dragon City send him butterfly carp, which gave him a reason to go to the Su residence and also to test whether Yao Yao had the same memories as him.

It doesn't matter if they don't have memories; he will create even sweeter memories for them.

Su Jingyao followed him to the pond in the Crown Prince's residence.

There are several butterfly koi inside. When they swim, their fins spread out like flower petals. Their graceful posture and colorful appearance are very beautiful.

Her eyes instantly sparkled.

He exclaimed with delight, "Your Highness, this fish is even more beautiful than described in the book!"

"Does Yao Yao like it?"

Jun Zechen turned his head and looked at her tenderly.

"like."

Su Jingyao nodded gently, a sweet smile appearing on her lips.

"Since Yao Yao likes these butterfly koi, I will have them sent to the Su residence later."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Jingyao was not a polite person either.

Originally, after watching the Butterfly Carp, she wanted to return to the manor as soon as possible and did not want to stay in the Crown Prince's manor. However, when Jun Zechen was dealing with memorials in the afternoon, he insisted that Su Jingyao stay with him.

Su Jingyao tried to refuse, but Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes, his expression stern, and threatened her with the power of the crown prince.

Su Jingyao pouted helplessly.

Fine, I'll just play along with him.

In the study, Jun Zechen sat upright at the desk.

Su Jingyao sat quietly to his left, holding a book in her hand, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Perhaps because of her young age, as she watched, her eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, and she eventually fell asleep without realizing it.

Jun Zechen placed the person's head on his lap.

Looking down at her delicate yet youthful face, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his own.

In this life, we will have more time to love each other, and in this life, I will protect you even better.

Jun Zechen reached out and gently stroked her smooth, delicate face with the back of his hand, then softly moved the stray hairs away from her face.

He stared at him intently for a long time, his eyes filled with longing and affection.

Since he was made crown prince, he has been in charge of handling one-third of the emperor's memorials. Moreover, during this period, his other brothers were also secretly plotting, making it the busiest time for Jun Zechen.

In a few months, the barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall will launch a war against the monarchy. He is preparing to take precautions in advance, so he will set off for the Great Wall ahead of time.

This expedition was unavoidable; only in this way could he hold military power and prevent the other princes from posing any threat to him.

Jun Zechen shifted his gaze from the sleeping little girl and refocused his attention on the memorials that needed to be reviewed.

Time passed slowly, and soon the sun set in the west.

Jun Zechen woke her up.

Su Jing opened her eyes, still looking confused and sleepy. Perhaps it was because she had lived with him for a lifetime and developed an unconditional trust in him that she was sleeping so soundly.

"I'll take you back."

"Um."

Su Jingyao's voice was soft and sweet, as if she had just woken up.

At sixteen, Jun Zechen was already very tall and imposing, while Su Jingyao, at eleven, was less than 160 cm tall and appeared incredibly petite in his presence.

It just reached his chest.

He picked the person up in his arms and immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't do this in front of outsiders. It's a little secret between the two of us, okay?"

Jun Zechen's tone was like that of someone coaxing a child, full of enticement.

Su Jingyao nodded blankly, her eyes still a little dazed.

Do you know my name?

Jun Zechen looked down at the little one in his arms.

Su Jingyao leaned on his shoulder and shook her head.

Let's pretend we don't know.

"Jun Zechen".

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes and sweetly called out, "Brother Zechen."

"Hmm, very good. From now on, you can tell me whatever you like or want. This is my token; you can come to the Crown Prince's residence anytime, understand?"

As Jun Zechen spoke, he placed the token representing his identity into her hand.

Su Jingyao unceremoniously stuffed the token into her pocket. "Thank you, Brother Zechen."

It's so great to be a child, and it's so much fun to fool Jun Zechen.

When he returns from beyond the Great Wall next time, I'll definitely let him experience what it's like to pursue a wife.

Who told her to always try to please him in her past life? Humph.
