Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

After regaining his memories of his past life, Jun Zechen decided to travel to the borderlands ahead of time to make thorough preparations and meticulous plans for the impending barbarian invasion.

This way, we can end the war and return to the capital as soon as possible.

For the past few months, he has been busy with all sorts of complicated preparations every day, and has had no time to secretly see her.

Moreover, during this time, his brothers were still making moves, and Jun Zechen would not allow Yao Yao to be exposed to them, not wanting her to be in any danger.

However, Yao Yao was still young at this time, and Jun Zechen naturally wanted her to like him from a young age. So, based on his understanding of her from his previous life, he prepared a lot of precious jewelry and sent it to the Su family.

Even when delivering things, it has to be done secretly.

When Madam Su stepped into her daughter's boudoir, her eyes widened at the sight of the various exquisite objects displayed there.

Some items, however, are of a specification and style that only royalty can use.

She had heard from her master that the Crown Prince had recently sent gifts to Yao Yao, but her master had told her not to publicize it, so she hadn't paid any attention to it. But when she came to Yao Yao's room today, she was shocked to see how many gifts there were.

"Yaoyao, did you know His Highness the Crown Prince before?" Madam Su asked softly, her brows slightly furrowed.

"I don't know him."

Su Jingyao obediently shook her head, her big eyes blinking.

Madam Su frowned even more deeply, her heart filled with doubt.

Didn't the master always say that after the Crown Prince entered the court at the age of ten and began to participate in politics, his temperament became increasingly cold and aloof?

But after just one glance at Yao Yao in the mansion that day, could it be that he was attracted by Yao Yao's beauty?

Although my Yao Yao is indeed incredibly beautiful, with a face that could topple kingdoms, this...

Yao Yao is only eleven years old.

Mrs. Su paced back and forth in the room, her face filled with worry.

No, although the Crown Prince is powerful and handsome, and seems to be a good match for Yao Yao, who knows what kind of person he is in private?

She had heard that many high-ranking officials and nobles had some quirks that they didn't want to share with outsiders.

Isn't this crown prince a little too impatient?

Thinking of this, Madam Su stopped and took Su Jingyao's hand, saying earnestly, "Yaoyao, there are many outstanding young men from prominent families in the capital. You are still young, so you can take a look at them."

Madam Su couldn't directly point out the Crown Prince's faults, so she could only offer her advice in a tactful manner.

Yao Yao is eleven years old now, which means she can attend banquets for noble ladies and get to know gentlemen of similar age.

Originally, Yao Yao never liked attending these banquets, and Madam Su never forced her to.

But given the current situation, that won't work. We still need to teach our daughter to be more shrewd.

Su Jingyao used to dislike attending these banquets because she had long ago decided that she wanted to become an empress and empress dowager.

By not attending these banquets, she can maintain a sense of mystery, so that the noble ladies who enter the palace later will not have much of an impression of her, which will also be beneficial to the shaping of her character later.

But now...

Su Jingyao smiled brightly.

"Okay, Mother," she replied sweetly.

After Madam Su left, Su Jingyao strolled to the table where the gifts were displayed and began to carefully examine the piles of gifts that Jun Zechen had sent.

Miaoyun picked up the gifts one by one and placed the exquisite and beautiful ornaments in a prominent position in the room.

She was more interested in the jewelry, which were styles she had liked in her previous life.

Various warm and delicate jade bracelets of superior quality, exquisite hairpins with unique shapes and inlaid with gemstones and pearls, and clothing made of top-grade silk with beautiful colors and patterns that fit well.

Jun Zechen sent her a multitude of gifts, almost enough to cover all her daily necessities.

Is he planning to raise her as a daughter?

When Miaoyun first received the gift from the Crown Prince to her young mistress, she was so excited that her face turned red. She even enthusiastically picked out a lot of beautiful jewelry and displayed it on the table for her young mistress to see.

His mouth was full of praise for the Crown Prince.

As the Crown Prince sent more and more gifts, Miaoyun gradually became numb, and the excitement on her face faded considerably.

No one could dislike her daughter.

The crown prince was so captivated by the young lady that he seemed like a completely different person.

"Miss, does His Highness the Crown Prince have feelings for you?"

Miao Yun tilted her head, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and asked.

"I don't know, maybe."

Seeing her mistress's nonchalant demeanor, Miaoyun felt increasingly certain that there was some secret between her mistress and the Crown Prince.

Oh well, I'm with Miss every day anyway, so I'll find out her secret sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

After Su Jingyao was reborn, she was in an exceptionally good mood and lived a very relaxed and comfortable life every day.

Life went on smoothly, just like in her previous life, and she enjoyed it all peacefully.

-

Ten days later, Madam Su entered Su Jingyao's room with an invitation from the Ye family in her hand.

"Yaoyao, in a few days, the Ye family will be hosting a spring outing banquet. Many young masters and ladies from the capital will be attending, and they're about your age. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Mrs. Su looked at her daughter expectantly, her eyes filled with hope.

"it is good."

Su Jingyao readily accepted the invitation from Madam Su, glancing at it casually.

Madam Su had prepared a whole host of persuasive words, since her daughter had previously shown no interest in such banquets.

Hearing her agree without hesitation, he was momentarily stunned.

"Alright, alright, then Yao Yao can prepare these next few days and make some friends at the banquet. Your brother is away studying abroad and can't accompany you, so I'll arrange a few bodyguards for Yao Yao."

As Mrs. Su spoke, she gently took Su Jingyao's hand and patted it lightly.

"Thank you, Mother."

Time flies like an arrow; it passes very quickly.

On the day of the spring outing banquet, the sky was a clear, bright blue, and the sun shone brightly and warmly.

The banquet was arranged in a residence of the Ye family on the outskirts of the capital.

The residence was built in a very unique style, with flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, exuding a simple and elegant atmosphere.

Outside the courtyard, flowers and plants flourish, colorful blossoms vie for attention, lush vegetation thrives, and clear streams flow gently.

The surrounding scenery is picturesque and very beautiful.

As the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Yaqin, dressed in a gorgeous silk dress and adorned with exquisite pearls and jade, arrived at the residence in the suburbs of the capital early in the morning.

She was surrounded by many equally dressed young ladies, who were chatting amongst themselves.

However, Ye Yaqin herself seemed somewhat distracted.

Since Madam Ye started hosting banquets for her when she was ten years old, Su Jingyao has never participated.

This time, when she learned that Su Jingyao was coming, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

As a family of military generals, the Ye family held a very important position in the capital.

From a young age, she was surrounded by people who flattered and fawned over her, and Mrs. Ye was always very satisfied with her daughter.

However, Madam Ye always compared Su Jingyao to her, and even often said that the Su family was now superior to the Ye family in the court, and as a daughter of the Ye family, she naturally could not lose to a daughter of the Su family.

Her father also made the same request of her.

Even Madam Ye had always harbored the hope that she would marry the Crown Prince, and she had always cultivated and educated her with this goal in mind.

However, the Crown Prince was not interested in women and never participated in these banquets. None of the many women in the capital could catch his eye.

But the Crown Prince will eventually marry the Crown Princess. The daughters of ordinary families in the capital pose no threat to her, except for Su Jingyao, whose background is similar to hers.

Thinking of this, Ye Yaqin felt a surge of indescribable irritation.

On the one hand, she longed to meet Miss Su, who was renowned for her talent in the capital, and wanted to see her for herself.

On the other hand, he was extremely afraid that after seeing her, he would find that Su Jingyao was really as outstanding as the rumors said.

What will she do then?

Ye Yaqin's gaze fell on the entrance of the mansion, as if she were expecting something.

Su Jingyao wasn't very late; she arrived right on time.

With Miaoyun's help, she stepped off the carriage and walked a short distance before arriving at the residence.

Then, guided by the servants, they went to the venue where the banquet was being held.

At this moment, the musician specially invited by the Ye family was sitting in the pavilion, his slender fingers deftly plucking the strings, playing beautiful and melodious music.

The courtyard houses pavilions and towers are arranged in a well-organized manner, with artificial hills and rocks scattered among them. Young ladies and gentlemen either sit elegantly on stone benches chatting and laughing, or stand tall and admire the garden scenery.

Su Jingyao walked along the path towards Ye Yaqin. After all, since a guest had arrived, it was natural to greet the host first.

As she walked along, the young ladies and gentlemen who passed by seemed not to recognize her, only casting curious glances at her.

Judging from her luxurious attire and outstanding demeanor, one can tell that she must be a young lady of extraordinary status.

In fact, after seeing her face clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.

She had almond-shaped eyes and peach-like cheeks, her eyes were bright as stars and sparkled with life. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, swaying slightly with her steps.

She was truly a stunning beauty.

Su Jingyao was already used to being stared at by everyone, and she wore a polite smile with a calm and confident look in her eyes.

Her beauty was the result of her careful maintenance, and the unwavering gazes of the crowd at least let her know that the money she spent was not wasted.

All the effort put into maintaining beauty is worthwhile.

Finally reaching Ye Yaqin, Su Jingyao slightly curtsied and greeted her softly, "Miss Ye."

Ye Yaqin watched Su Jingyao walk towards her step by step. Although she tried her best to maintain a calm appearance and did not show any abnormality, her heart was still quite turbulent.

The moment she walked in, she seemed to radiate light, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present, regardless of gender.

Ye Yaqin steadied herself.

Although she comes from a family of military generals, her upbringing over the years has made her demeanor and temperament stand out among the noble ladies of the capital.

"This must be Miss Su. Please come and have a seat."

Ye Yaqin extended her hand, her tone friendly and warm, but a hint of inquiry and competition lurked deep in her eyes.
