Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Shui Ning Palace.

That evening, Jun Zechen arrived at the Water Condensation Palace as promised.

Su Jingyao had always been confident in her carefully maintained appearance. With her flawless skin and beautiful face, what man could resist her?

But for two days in a row, this scoundrel left without a second thought, showing no attachment to her gentle embrace, leaving her with a strange sense of defeat.

But after seeing the handwriting of Jun Zechen that her father had sent her, Su Jingyao was almost certain that this Jun Zechen was an old man who had been through countless battles and experienced many vicissitudes. No wonder his heart was like a block of ice, hard to melt.

My mood improved.

Furthermore, for some unknown reason, Ling Yue actually asked the Empress to select concubines for the Crown Prince!

Given that she could do such an absurd thing, Ling Yue must not have noticed Jun Zechen's strange behavior and was only thinking about pleasing the Empress.

Unfortunately, perhaps the biggest boss had already set his sights on her.

Su Jingyao's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Before the new concubines enter the palace, Su Jingyao must find a way to make Jun Zechen treat her differently. Otherwise, if the emperor's favor is spread evenly, wouldn't she end up with more and more enemies?

The original book did not describe the fate of the Su family, but Su Jingyao had been here for fifteen years, and because of her father, she was also aware of some of the political situation in the court.

The Su family and the Ye family are currently evenly matched, with the Su family even showing signs of surpassing the Ye family. However, later in the book, it is described that after Jun Zechen unified the world, the Ye family became the only dominant family, and it took him a lot of effort to deal with the Ye family.

What about the Su family?

Because the Ye family sent a woman into the harem who gained Jun Zechen's favor, the Su family was suppressed.

Or was the Su family even worse off, wiped out?

Su Jingyao was unaware of this.

However, Su Jingyao would never allow her family to fall into ruin. But she is currently out of touch with politics and does not know why the Su family offended Jun Zechen and declined.

The only solution now is Jun Zechen. As long as she becomes empress, the Su family will rise even higher because of her.

So today, she specially asked Miaoxia to dress her up nicely.

Her head was adorned with jewels that shimmered brilliantly in the candlelight, and her light green dress made her as fresh and charming as a willow in spring.

After getting dressed, she slowly entered the bath barefoot.

At this moment, large, colorful flowers floated on the water in the bath.

Su Jingyao, wearing a dress, carefully walked down into the bathtub. She lay on the edge of the tub, her bare shoulders as white as mutton fat jade, her beautiful back covered with glistening water droplets. Her appearance was alluring and seductive, like a beautiful painting.

When Jun Zechen entered, he immediately saw this breathtaking scene.

The foot that was about to stride in paused for a moment, as if it had been frozen in place.

He remained silent, staring intently at her with a captivating gaze, like a predator lurking in the darkness, radiating a dangerous and deadly aura.

Su Jingyao seemed to have a certain intuition, feeling a burning gaze coming from behind her.

She had been lying on her left hand, but now she changed position and lay on her right hand.

The moment she turned her head, her eyes met Jun Zechen's deep, unfathomable gaze.

Su Jingyao's reddened eyes were as vibrant as peach blossoms, and her flushed cheeks were a result of either meticulously applied makeup or shyness.

She parted her lips slightly and called out softly, "Your Highness."

Her voice was soft and melodious, with a hint of coquettishness.

Upon hearing her voice, Jun Zechen walked up to her, squatted down, and gently lifted her chin with his long, slender fingers.

"Trying to seduce me?"

His voice was low and carried a hint of questioning.

"I am Your Highness's concubine. Serving you is my duty and does not count as seduction."

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly to meet his gaze, her eyes filled with determination.

"I heard that the Crown Princess is going to hold a selection of concubines for His Highness. I have only been in the Eastern Palace for three days. Does the Crown Princess not like me...?"

Su Jingyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice revealed a hint of grievance and unease.

Jun Zechen's eyes darkened and became unreadable.

Only after Su Jingyao said this did she suddenly realize the various strange things about Ling Yue.

On the first night after Su Jingyao's marriage, Ling Yue urgently asked him not to stay overnight at Xiyan Palace.

But he didn't stay overnight at Xiyan Palace in his previous life. If Ling Yue was reborn in his previous life, why would he go to all this trouble?

Su Jingyao had only been in the Eastern Palace for three days when Ling Yue was already thinking of having his mother take more concubines for him. The Su family was a prestigious family, and this was a slap in the face to the Su family, just to embarrass Su Jingyao.

It seems like she's specifically targeting this woman?

But why would Ling Yue want to target Su Jingyao?

Su Jingyao's ending in her previous life was already tragic, so what exactly was Ling Yue's dissatisfaction with her?

Could it be that Su Jingyao in her past life was also secretly killed by Ling Yue?

Countless questions churned in Jun Zechen's mind in an instant.

Seeing his deep, unfathomable gaze, Su Jingyao called softly, "Your Highness?"

He was stunned when such a beautiful woman was in front of him!

Was this old man impotent in his past life?

Jun Zechen snapped out of his daze, looked at her charming face, and said, "All you need to do is make me like you." His voice was deep and husky.

Su Jingyao, who had been frowning and looking weak, relaxed instantly upon hearing Jun Zechen's words.

"I have always tried my best."

Su Jingyao grasped Jun Zechen's wrists, the hands that were lifting her chin, and gently slid her slender fingertips along his wrists, teasing him almost imperceptibly.

Jun Zechen's lowered eyelids trembled slightly, and then his gaze sharpened.

Su Jingyao, you're quite capable.

Jun Zechen stood up, his movements exuding an air of untamed freedom.

In front of her, he deftly unbuckled his belt, casually tossed it aside, took off his shoes, and slowly stepped out of the bath with his bare, muscular upper body exposed.

His dark, inky eyes stared intently at Su Jingyao, his gaze locking onto her like an iron lock, as he walked towards her step by step.

As he approached, Su Jingyao smiled slyly and swam away nimbly like a fish from another direction.

The bathtub is big, which makes it more fun. Su Jingyao's lips curled into a smile, full of pride, clearly very satisfied with her actions.

When they reached the other pool, Su Jingyao turned to look at him, her eyes revealing a hint of cunning and allure.

"Your Highness, tonight I only wish to bathe with you, nothing more."

Her voice was soft and languid as she spoke, casually placing a vibrant rose from the water in front of her chest, perfectly concealing the alluring view of her bosom.

Jun Zechen had no interest in playing cat and mouse with a woman. He frowned and said coldly, "Come here."

Such an obvious act of playing hard to get, I don't know whether to call her clever or stupid.

Su Jingyao gently braced herself against the edge of the bathtub with her hands, then pushed herself up and sat down.

Her fair, delicate feet splashed water from the bathtub, sending glistening droplets flying, and flower petals fell onto her slender legs.

Every move she made was a blatant seduction, her posture alluring and unrestrained.

"Why doesn't Your Highness come over?"

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her eyes were full of provocation.

Jun Zechen's suppressed desire was about to burst forth; his jawline was taut, and the emotions in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

"You've got guts."

His voice was deep and slightly hoarse.

After saying that, Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment. Did he think he had said that before?

But by this time, desire had already overwhelmed reason, and Jun Zechen walked towards Su Jingyao once again.

He was about to get angry, but Su Jingyao's next move left Jun Zechen completely stunned.

"Your Highness, I have a leg cramp."

While speaking in a coquettish voice, Su Jingyao did not hesitate to step on Jun Zechen's shoulder.

When dealing with older men, you have to give them a little thrill.

Running away from him was the first step in testing him, but Jun Zechen wasn't angry and still walked towards her. Now it's the second step—to see just how much patience he has.

"How dare you!"

Jun Zechen suddenly raised his eyes, which instantly filled with anger.

No one has ever dared to look down on him and step on his shoulders!

Su Jingyao seemed frightened by his cold rebuke, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she fell into the water.

But her leg cramped up, so she could only cling tightly to Jun Zechen to keep herself from drowning in the bath.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong."

Su Jingyao looked so pitiful.

Jun Zechen looked down at her, thinking that he should leave immediately and make her understand the difference between superiors and inferiors!

But his legs seemed to have a mind of their own, standing there motionless. Now, as she hugged him and apologized in a delicate and weak manner, he felt no sincerity whatsoever.

Jun Zechen felt a burning anger inside, but didn't know how to vent it.

He wanted to "punish" her severely to teach her a lesson, but he also felt that this was not a punishment at all, and that it might only make her more arrogant and demanding.

For a moment, he was torn between advancing and retreating... and he really couldn't bear to part with this warm and soft beauty.

Her soft body was tightly embracing him, her mind in turmoil.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. Your Highness is a noble young master from the clouds, with an elegant and refined appearance. Please forgive me, my lord..."

Su Jingyao's voice was soft and melodious, like the song of a nightingale.

During his silence, she showered him with sweet words, praising him and acting coquettishly, one after another, as if she could fire off a machine gun.

Jun Zechen pursed his lips.

However, Su Jingyao's sweet words seemed to have a magical power, gradually dissipating his pent-up anger.

How come I didn't know Su Jingyao had this kind of personality before?

"I won't let you go tonight."

Immediately, Jun Zechen reached out and lifted her up, supporting her buttocks. He then gave her a heavy slap as punishment, without holding back.

"ah."

Su Jingyao stared at him in shock. Her bottom must be red and it hurt so much!

Jun Zechen scoffed lightly. This is nothing. If you're so delicate, don't bother him.

He carried Su Jingyao out of the bath and headed towards the bedroom.

Su Jingyao removed her jeweled headdress and necklace, and changed into a form-fitting thin dress. The thin dress seemed like a second skin, with her most alluring parts barely concealed.

Half of it was exposed, tempting the imagination.

Jun Zechen also changed into his undergarments and lay lazily on the bed before her, forcibly suppressing the lustful look in his eyes.

He glanced casually at Su Jingyao's daring attire, and his restless desire began to stir again, difficult to suppress.

But she had lost her earlier boldness in the bedchamber and walked lightly to the bedside to sit down.

Su Jingyao gently rested her head on Jun Zechen's chest.

Suddenly, Anshun's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Highness."

Jun Zechen frowned and looked towards the door, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. "What is it?"

"The Crown Princess wishes to see you tonight."

Su Jingyao's heart sank when she heard this. She didn't believe that Ling Yue wasn't targeting her.

In the afternoon, he went to Kunyi Palace to ask the Empress to select candidates for the Crown Prince, pretending to be magnanimous. That evening, he blatantly snatched people away.

However... this Jun Zechen is not someone Ling Yue can simply snatch away.

A glint flashed in Su Jingyao's eyes. How could Ling Yue possibly know that this Jun Zechen was the emperor she had come to loathe?

Jun Zechen was slightly irritated, and his brows furrowed even more.

He wasn't ready to let Ling Yue suspect anything yet, because he wanted to find out Ling Yue's purpose, or rather, to verify his guess: was Ling Yue really reborn?

If it were the old Jun Zechen, he would definitely go to see Ling Yue if she wanted to.

Jun Zechen looked down at Su Jingyao, who was leaning obediently against his chest, his gaze deep.

He gently lifted her chin with his bent index finger, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Want to go alone?"

Su Jingyao met his gaze, raised an eyebrow, and straddled him without hesitation.

His fair, delicate hands rested on his firm chest, which was quite hard.

"If Your Highness wishes to go, I cannot stop you. I am plain and ugly, and I cannot win Your Highness's favor. Your Highness may go to the Crown Princess. I will not be sad."

As Su Jingyao spoke, she bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. She looked aggrieved, but her eyes revealed a stubbornness.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle softly.

This woman really can't even pretend properly.

If you really want him to leave, why ride on his back?

She started putting on an act from the very first time she saw him, appearing pitiful, weak, and helpless, with a pure and innocent expression. Has no one told her that her acting skills are ridiculously bad?

But for some reason, Jun Zechen didn't feel any disgust when she was pretending; he just found it somewhat amusing.

But... he preferred the way she had been so arrogant in the bathtub.

Jun Zechen's eyes darkened slightly.

If Su Jingyao knew that Jun Zechen thought her acting was bad, she would only be secretly pleased with herself. Isn't that the effect she wanted?
