Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

An hour later, Su Jingyao's eyes were lifeless, and she seemed to have lost all her strength, her whole body trembling slightly.

Jun Zechen gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and whispered in her ear, "Do you know you were wrong?"

wrong?

When did she miss it?

"Fine, then we won't kiss!"

Su Jingyao's temper flared up too, "Get out of here."

She struggled to leave his embrace, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in Jun Zechen's eyes, and he gently turned her around.

He lifted her delicate chin and kissed her again, a kiss that was extremely domineering and fierce, as if he wanted to meld her whole being into his body.

Su Jingyao weakly pressed her hands against his firm chest, tilting her head back to receive the man's burning breath.

After a long while, she closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling slightly as she breathed heavily, her pink fingertips landing on Jun Zechen's chest.

Jun Zechen closed his eyes to rest, his slender fingers unconsciously stroking her soft hair, a hint of a smile in his eyes, radiating a tenderness he himself was unaware of.

"It's my fault, my temper is getting worse and worse, I even dared to tell him to get lost."

"It was clearly His Highness who was bullying people..."

Jun Zechen never expected that after reading books on self-cultivation for more than ten days, he would break all his vows when he came to her.

"That cancels it out."

Su Jingyao hummed twice, which could be interpreted as agreement.

Then Jun Zechen casually asked, "Do you like jade? A new batch just arrived in my warehouse. Go and choose some tomorrow and have it made into jewelry that you like."

We'll send it to Ling Yue after she's finished making her selection.

Su Jingyao was exhausted and spoke listlessly.

"I like purple jade and blue jade."

"We have everything, just pick whatever you like."

"Mmm," Su Jingyao responded softly.

"..."

Jun Zechen chatted with her casually, gently stroking her hair with his fingers until she fell into a deep sleep. Only then did he put on his robes and quietly return to Yude Palace.

-

When Su Jingyao slowly woke up the next day, the spot next to her was no longer warm from Jun Zechen, but she was used to it.

She stretched lazily, yawned, and her eyes still held a hint of grogginess from just waking up.

Today, under Anshun's arrangement, she went to the warehouse to select jade.

When Su Jingyao actually saw those jade pieces, she was truly astonished.

She never expected to find such high-quality jadeite. Judging by her naked eye, its clarity and texture were almost at the level of high-grade ice jadeite.

Even with advanced geological exploration technology in modern times, mining jadeite is not an easy task. Jadeite of this quality is basically at the level to be auctioned and collected, and its price is probably in the hundreds of millions.

The jade presented to Jun Zechen this time is even more colorful, with mysterious and noble purple, vibrant green, clear and ethereal sky blue, pure white like snow, and bright and lively yellow.

There are two pieces of each color, presumably selected from the highest quality jade and presented to Jun Zechen.

Su Jingyao has a strong preference for purple and blue, but green is the most valuable color in jadeite. Looking at these beautiful jadeites, she was caught in a dilemma.

I really want to take them all.

If they were made into bracelets, necklaces, rings, or hairpins, they would be absolutely gorgeous; just thinking about it makes her itch with desire.

Seeing the concubine's expression of joy mixed with barely concealed conflict, Anshun put on a flattering smile and asked, "Concubine, what do you like? His Highness has instructed that you may take whatever you like."

"If I like them all..."

Su Jingyao bent down, her slender fingers gently touching the jade, feeling its soothing warmth, her eyes gleaming with greed.

She's so beautiful! If I could bring her back to the modern world, she'd be incredibly rich.

An Shun's smile froze for a moment, and he began to have doubts.

If the concubines all like it, His Highness didn't seem to say that they couldn't all be given to the concubines.

Su Jingyao straightened up and began to state her requirements.

"I want to have a jadeite headdress made. This headdress should be luxurious and grand, covering the entire head."

"At the front stands a blue phoenix, holding a large white jade pearl in its beak. The phoenix's body is carved from green jade, and the main body of its crown is inlaid with purple jade in the shape of continuous petals. Interspersed among these are small butterflies carved from blue jade, with round and full yellow jade beads embedded in the gaps."

"Several strings of tiny pearls hang from the edge of the crown, and the crown itself is inlaid with a total of 99 purple jade beads and 108 blue jade beads."

"I will have a palace maid deliver the design to you, sir."

Su Jingyao's expression was very excited.

"Besides this headdress, make me two green jadeite bracelets, one purple jadeite bracelet, and one blue jadeite bracelet."

"Make me a magnolia hairpin from white jade, two rose hairpins from yellow jade, and make me some earrings and rings from jade of various colors."

After Su Jingyao finished speaking, she gently touched her chin, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she was still thinking about whether she had missed anything.

Anshun thought the concubine had finally finished speaking and was about to open his mouth.

Su Jingyao then added, "Make me a green jade bead necklace, and a cabochon necklace each for purple and yellow jade."

Her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to illustrate the length and style of the necklace.

Su Jingyao felt that wearing green jadeite at her age would make her look a bit old-fashioned, and Jun Zechen's two pieces were imperial green, not the kind of fresh and delicate style at all. They wouldn't suit her, but it would be nice to give them to her mother if she had the chance.

"After you've finished doing all this, if there's anything left, send it to the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao spoke casually, truly embodying the airs of a favored concubine.

As Anshun listened, his heart tightened more and more, and his face became increasingly stiff. If all the jewelry that the concubine wanted was made, what scraps would be left?

Hearing that it was ultimately sent to the Crown Princess, he was so surprised that his mouth gaped open.

This... isn't the concubine being a bit too arrogant?

An Shun's forehead began to bead with sweat. He could even imagine taking these scraps to Qiluan Palace and the Crown Princess's piercing gaze. Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.

But he still pretended to be calm and agreed.

"Yes, Consort, this servant will immediately inform His Highness of your request, and will send the jewelry to you once it is finished."

After making her selection, Su Jingyao was finally satisfied, a smile playing on her lips, and she returned to the Water Condensation Palace with light steps.

Before marrying into the Eastern Palace, she originally thought that Jun Zechen liked Ling Yue, and was even prepared to retreat in order to advance, to be a pure and kind concubine, even though she might have to suffer some hardships.

Unexpectedly, Jun Zechen had a different soul, so now she wouldn't suffer any more.

Isn't the struggle for favor all about gold, silver, and power?

Since she hasn't gained power yet, she'll use gold and silver to mend her wounded heart from that scumbag.

Anshun hurriedly returned to Yude Palace, and bowed as soon as he entered the palace: "Your Highness, the concubine has already selected the jadeite."

Anshun meticulously recorded all the jewelry that the concubine had told him about in the storeroom on a piece of paper, and respectfully presented it to the Crown Prince with both hands.

Jun Zechen glanced at Anshun with a strange look and a hint of doubt.

"Now that you've chosen your concubine, just have her made and sent over. Why show her to me?"

"Your Highness, if the concubine's jewelry is made to perfection, there may not be much jade left in your storeroom."

An Shun lowered his head, not daring to look Jun Zechen in the eye, and spoke in a softer and softer voice, as if he was having some difficulty speaking.

Jun Zechen's brow twitched slightly as he took the jewelry list and glanced at it casually.

Looking at this long string of jewelry, the styles and designs were all recorded in detail.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, saying, "She certainly doesn't hold back."

There was no trace of anger on his face.

"Take care of the concubine first. If the Crown Princess asks, give her the two pieces of yellow jade that Father Emperor gave me a few years ago."

Jun Zechen spoke calmly, as if it were just a trivial matter.

"Yes, Your Highness."

An Shun agreed, secretly sighing to himself that the Crown Prince changed his mind so quickly; now the concubine was probably the Crown Prince's true love.

The two pieces of jade from a few years ago are nowhere near as good as these pieces presented this year; the difference in treatment is too obvious.

Hopefully, the Crown Princess won't find out.

As Anshun pondered this, he slowly retreated.
