Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power
Chapter 205 Lingyuan Temple
A few days later, Su Jingyao wrote a letter to Chu Yinxue with great joy, inviting her to go to the famous Lingyuan Temple in the capital.
Lingyuan Temple is a sacred place where many men and women in Beijing pray for marriage. Every day, a steady stream of men and women come to Lingyuan Temple to offer incense.
Lingyuan Temple is located on the top of Tianming Mountain, with beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere.
So when Su Jingyao and Su Jingxuan's carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain, they straightened their clothes and prepared to get off the carriage.
A short while later, Chu Yinxue's carriage slowly arrived.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and she gracefully stepped down from the carriage.
Su Jingyao looked up and instantly felt that she was dressed unusually differently today.
Chu Yinxue was already beautiful, and with a little makeup, she became even more radiant, with a dazzling and captivating aura.
Although Chu Yinxue is a few months younger than Su Jingyao, she looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl today.
As soon as Chu Yinxue stepped off the carriage, a smile bloomed on her face, and she walked over gracefully.
After a warm greeting, he affectionately took Su Jingyao's hand and began to climb the mountain.
It is currently the season of transition from spring to summer, and the direct sunlight can generally make people feel unbearably hot.
Fortunately, the road up the mountain was lined with lush trees, their branches and leaves intertwined to form a dense green canopy. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, making it impossible to feel the heat at all.
Throughout the journey, Su Jingyao's bright eyes kept darting between her brother and Chu Yinxue. She was quick-witted and tried her best to get her brother and Chu Yinxue to talk.
The two chatted back and forth, and as they talked, they became more familiar with each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.
Su Jingyao was very satisfied with this.
She tried her best.
Whether it works out or not depends on them.
Upon arriving at Lingyuan Temple, Su Jingyao secretly plotted her escape.
She leaned close to Chu Yinxue's ear and whispered, "Yinxue, you go in first, I need to use the restroom."
Chu Yinxue nodded gently and went inside first.
Then, Su Jingyao turned to Su Jingxuan, winked, and said mischievously, "Brother, aren't you going to thank Yin Xue? Why don't you go and thank her properly yourself? I'm going to take a stroll in the peach grove behind the temple."
Upon hearing this, Su Jingxuan immediately looked embarrassed and seemed somewhat at a loss. He had never been very good at interacting with women, and things were a little better when his sister was around.
But after hesitating for a moment, he still responded.
"it is good."
Su Jingxuan followed Chu Yinxue a short distance behind, looking somewhat hesitant, and they entered the Buddhist hall together.
At this time, the Buddhist hall was bustling with men and women who came to worship. They had to wait patiently on the side to offer incense and draw lots one by one.
Without his younger sister by his side, Su Jingxuan stared at Chu Yinxue's retreating figure, momentarily at a loss as to how to approach her.
He stared blankly at Chu Yinxue's profile, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration.
Her features were exquisite and beautiful, with thick eyelashes that trembled slightly.
Perhaps in two years, she will look even more beautiful than she does now.
Miss Chu and her sister have two completely different styles. Her sister is exquisitely beautiful, like a fairy, while Chu Yinxue is bright, beautiful, and full of vitality.
Su Jingxuan had always thought that he would prefer a fairy-like woman like his younger sister, or a gentle and tender beauty, or a talented woman with a wealth of knowledge and elegant temperament.
However, based on his conversation with Miss Chu and the information he gleaned from his sister, he knew that Miss Chu was a very bright and cheerful person.
I speak directly and don't like flowery language.
Chu Yinxue felt a gaze and turned her head to look over, just in time to meet Su Jingxuan's gaze, who was looking at her.
Su Jingxuan panicked instantly, like a child caught red-handed, and hurriedly looked away.
A blush instantly spread across her face, and her heart suddenly pounded uncontrollably a few times.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, then composed himself and approached Chu Yinxue.
"Miss Chu, thank you very much for your generous help at the Lingxi Banquet last time."
"I heard from my sister that you have a particular fondness for spices, so I sent people to the far south these past few days. That region produces a large quantity of spices from our country, including agarwood, aralia, partridge spot incense, frankincense, raw incense, cloves, and sandalwood. I didn't know exactly what you liked, so I had some of everything found for you."
Su Jingxuan's voice was gentle and sincere.
"In a few days, the person who delivered the incense should be returning to the capital. I will then send it to Miss Chu, and I hope Miss Chu will accept it."
After saying that, he clasped his hands together and gave Chu Yinxue a slight bow.
Chu Yinxue didn't stand on ceremony with Su Jingxuan. She was always straightforward and genuinely liked spices. Whenever she went out, she had to wear perfume.
A bright smile appeared on her lips. "Okay, thank you, Young Master Su."
-
Lingyuan Temple, as the largest temple in the capital for seeking marriage, has always been bustling with people and has a thriving incense offering. As a result, crowds of people flock to the temple, and even the peach grove on the mountain behind it is full of people.
Su Jingyao walked briskly to a corner of the peach grove behind the mountain, where Jun Zechen, dressed in a light-colored robe, was already waiting.
After all, Su Jingyao had finally had the chance to leave the manor, so how could Jun Zechen miss the opportunity to meet her?
Jun Zechen stood with his back to her, his posture as upright as a pine tree.
Seeing this, Su Jingyao had a wicked idea.
She prepared to approach him quietly, intending to give him a fright.
Jun Zechen, having practiced martial arts for many years, possessed extremely keen senses. He noticed her approaching silently, but he did not react.
I'm curious to see what the little girl is up to.
Su Jingyao tiptoed up behind Jun Zechen, patted his shoulder, and then squatted down like a nimble rabbit.
Jun Zechen turned around upon hearing the sound, but saw no one. Looking down, he realized that the little girl was squatting on the ground, her hands supporting her rosy cheeks, smiling at him.
She looks so playful and cute that you can't help but want to pinch her cheeks.
Jun Zechen reluctantly bent down, picked her up, and asked with a smile and a hint of doting, "Was it fun?"
Su Jingyao wrapped her arms around his neck, her smile as bright as the warm spring sun.
He cheerfully exclaimed, "It's fun!"
Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle. Being with her made him feel much more childish.
Then, Jun Zechen carried her and walked towards a higher place.
It was a quiet and peaceful place where no one would disturb them.
"Do you know how much I want you to move into the Crown Prince's residence?"
Jun Zechen's voice was deep and gentle.
He longed to see her smiling face every day, and to hold her like this every day.
"On the contrary, I feel that seeing each other every now and then makes me very happy. If we see each other every day, won't Brother Zechen get tired of it?"
Su Jingyao blinked her bright, lively eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked charming and adorable.
"I won't get tired of it, but I wonder if the other person will?"
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze dangerous as he stared intently at her.
He's spent his whole life with her, so he knows perfectly well whether he'll get tired of her or not.
She's very childlike now, and children are very prone to getting bored easily. If the two of them have a deep affection for each other, how could they get tired of each other?
"I was just saying it casually, Brother Zechen, don't take it seriously."
Su Jingyao stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, her eyes filled with a hint of flattery.
Seeing that his expression was slightly unwell, Su Jingyao quickly continued, "Brother Zechen, are you tired of carrying me? Why don't I walk by myself?"
She blinked her big, watery eyes, her gaze filled with concern.
"It's still a 15-minute walk uphill. Are you sure you want to walk it yourself?"
Jun Zechen raised an eyebrow.
In her past life, she would get tired after walking for half an hour in the Imperial Garden. She had just climbed up the mountain by herself, and Jun Zechen didn't believe she could still walk now.
Su Jingyao tilted her head and thought about it carefully; her feet were already incredibly sore.
It took them almost half an hour to climb up from the foot of the mountain.
These temples all emphasize that sincerity brings results, thus testing people's perseverance. That's why many temples in the capital are built on mountains.
Su Jingyao rubbed against Jun Zechen's neck like a kitten and said sweetly, "I think Brother Zechen is full of energy, so he must not be tired."
After saying that, she swung her legs on either side of Jun Zechen a few times, with a touch of playfulness.
Anshun followed behind, unable to suppress a chuckle to himself.
I felt that Miss Su was like a lively and witty character in front of His Highness.
His Highness was also incredibly good-natured in front of Miss Su; the usually dignified His Highness was always full of patience and gentleness in front of Miss Su.
Jun Zechen carried her steadily all the way to the real summit of Tianming Mountain.
A gentle breeze was blowing, so it didn't feel hot at all. On the contrary, the wind was quite strong, and Su Jingyao's long hair, which was loose, fluttered freely in the wind.
This was Su Jingyao's first time in such a place, and she felt as if she could reach out and touch the white clouds. She was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.
She started jogging.
"So comfortable."
After running a few steps, he stopped, opened his arms, tilted his head back, closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment, and sighed sincerely.
Although it didn't offer the breathtaking view of Mount Tai, where one can "ascend to the summit and survey all the mountains below," the beautiful scenery before her still filled her with immense surprise and satisfaction.
Seeing her so happy, Jun Zechen felt gratified.
They have a long time left outside the palace in this lifetime, and they can take her to many, many places to travel. After entering the harem, it's likely that she won't be able to leave the palace for a very long time.

In fact, An Jinyan received the news the moment Su Jingyao stepped out of the Su residence.
Ever since the Crown Prince and Su Jingyao got into the same carriage, An Jinyan felt like she had a thorn stuck in her heart, and she was eager to verify her guess.
So, every day, people were arranged to observe the area around the Su residence discreetly. Today, when Su Jingyao left the residence, An Jinyan, having received the news, secretly followed them herself.
Once they arrived at Lingyuan Temple, An Jinyan followed Su Jingyao from a distance.
Until Su Jingyao walked happily to the Crown Prince's side and played around with him, the Crown Prince was not angry at all. He even picked her up affectionately, and they looked very intimate.
An Jinyan's expression instantly hardened, and she gritted her teeth.
shameless!
She was filled with anger and jealousy.
Is this how the Su family raises their daughter? To be so intimate with a man before even being married is utterly shameless. If word gets out that Su Jingyao is seducing the Crown Prince, the Su family will be utterly disgraced.
An Jinyan clutched her handkerchief tightly, crumpling it beyond recognition.
No, she couldn't just sit idly by and wait to die; she had to find a way to ruin Su Jingyao's reputation.
If His Majesty and the Empress object, what can the Crown Prince do even if he likes it?
However, Su Jingyao clearly seems to be very popular with the Crown Prince. If she were to rashly spread this matter, the Crown Prince would definitely find her extremely distasteful.
She absolutely cannot do this herself.
An Jinyan fell into deep thought.
Oh, right, Ye Yaqin!
An Jinyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she had an idea.
She has always dreamed of becoming the Crown Princess. If she finds out that someone has beaten her to it, would she just sit and wait to die?
Thinking of this, An Jinyan's lips curled up slightly, as if she could already see the situation she was looking forward to.
When the time comes, Miss Ye and Miss Su, two women from the most prestigious families in the capital, will fight like snipe and clam, and in the end, she, the fisherman, will reap the benefits. Not bad, not bad.
