Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Day two.

When Su Jingyao arrived at the main hall of Qiluan Palace, Ling Yue had already arranged the meal.

"I hope Your Highness is well. I am pregnant and therefore unable to perform the proper etiquette. Please sit down."

Su Jingyao's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.

She was five months pregnant, her belly quite noticeable, and slowly sat down with Miaoyun's help.

The moment she sat down, her gaze fell on the food, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Ling Yue seems to care about her quite a bit?

Did you know she likes flower dishes?

Ling Yue remained calm and didn't care about Su Jingyao's so-called "rudeness" at all. Su Jingyao was already the undisputed empress, so there was no need for her to bow to her.

"Su Jingyao, back during the Flower Festival, when Jun Zechen prepared a floral feast for you in front of me, weren't you very proud of yourself? Were you happy to be secretly flirting with my husband?"

Ling Yue clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment.

Recalling the scene of the three of them leaving the palace together during the Flower Festival in her previous life, she asked Jun Zechen like a fool why he had prepared a flower-themed meal. Later she learned that Su Jingyao only ate flower-themed medicinal meals and other health-preserving foods.

She spoke frankly about her past life experiences only to test Su Jingyao.

Since Jun Zechen is not the original one and has other memories, what about Su Jingyao in front of us?

Ling Yue tried to comfort herself, thinking that if Su Jingyao also had unusual memories, then perhaps her defeat wouldn't be so humiliating.

Su Jingyao frowned, puzzled for a moment, then realized that Ling Yue was talking about her past life.

Even without memories of her past life, Su Jingyao is definitely not the type to remain silent and not retaliate when mocked or ridiculed.

"Ling Yue, do you know how arrogant you are?"

Su Jingyao slightly raised her chin, her gaze calm as still water, her voice soft yet possessing an imposing air.

"arrogant?"

Ling Yue's eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"Su Jingyao, I don't have your family background, your beauty, or your cleverness to use those underhanded methods. I became the Crown Princess entirely on my own merits!"

"You are the truly arrogant one."

Ling Yue's voice was sharp and piercing.

"I, and Jun Zechen, am the one who manipulates everyone!"

"Ling Yue, although I don't know how long you've lived or how much you've improved, it's really hard to talk to you sometimes."

Su Jingyao's eyes revealed helplessness and annoyance.

She gently shook her head and continued, "To demand that others love you is the greatest arrogance."

I don’t know what Ling Yue’s self in that world did, but since Su Jingyao was Jun Zechen’s concubine, what’s wrong with her trying to win a man’s heart for wealth and power?

Should we expect her to follow the morals and ethics of modern society while living in a feudal society?

Everyone is vying for the same resource. A wife is a rank higher than a concubine. Does that mean we have to give in to her in everything?

Now that Jun Zechen has married her, he is Su Jingyao's rightful husband, and she is never willing to be subservient to anyone.

To become someone superior, one must curry favor with the boss, replace superiors, and let the most capable take the lead—this is simply a matter of course.

Ling Yue was momentarily stunned when Su Jingyao spoke those words that struck a chord deep within her.

Did she demand that Jun Zechen love her?

But shouldn't Jun Zechen keep his promise to her?

Ling Yue felt a wave of sorrow wash over her.

Sometimes she felt really pathetic. If she had Su Jingyao's family background and beauty, she too could be loved by many people.

Su Jingyao is blessed with everything by heaven; she is good in every way, and everyone loves her, which is why she can speak so casually without feeling the pain.

"Yes, you're right. I was greedy, I couldn't see myself clearly, I'm inferior to you in every way!"

Ling Yue's voice wasn't loud, but it was hysterical.

Su Jingyao sighed with some annoyance, regretting that she probably shouldn't have come today.

They feel jealousy towards those in high positions and look down on those in low positions; they have lustful desires for the beautiful and disgust towards the ugly.

This is the dark side of human nature.

Therefore, people need training, which is what is called upbringing. The darkness in one's heart needs to be hidden, and many of a person's behaviors need to be faked. The more you fake it, the more genuine respect you will receive.

Even after being reborn, Ke Lingyue never looked for the cause within herself.

Her jealousy was like a thick, dark cloud, obscuring all her brilliance. She could have lived a better life, but she didn't want to.

"What is the purpose of your summons today?"

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze revealing a hint of impatience, and asked indifferently.

Aren't you even a little bit curious about these past events I'm telling you today?

Ling Yue stared intently at Su Jingyao, trying to catch a glimpse of her emotions in her expression.

She could sense that Su Jingyao had no memories of her past life, so why was she still so calm?

"From your hatred for me, from all the sour things you said after I came in, I can tell that in your memory I must be the winner."

Su Jingyao raised an eyebrow slightly, a disdainful smile playing on her lips, and said casually.

"So, there's nothing to be curious about."

She flicked her sleeve lightly, her tone full of indifference.

At first I was indeed a little curious, but after listening to Ling Yue's ramblings, I wasn't so curious anymore.

Ling Yue gave a self-deprecating laugh.

She really couldn't learn Su Jingyao's composure and intelligence.

Sometimes she despises herself, but she has fallen into a dark abyss from which she cannot escape and cannot get out.

"Su Jingyao, aren't you curious about what Jun Zechen said when he came to Qiluan Palace yesterday?"

"For you to invite me to dinner today, and for you to be so impolite, it must not be a good thing for you."

"Yes, it's not good for me, but it's what you've been dreaming of. I'll be sent out of the palace in a month. He said you're his future empress and asked me to make room for you."

Su Jingyao was surprised, but she didn't show it on the surface.

Although Jun Zechen promised her the position of empress, she thought he would depose Ling Yue when he ascended the throne, but it turned out he would just send her away directly.

It seems that Ling Yue in his previous life was extremely annoying to Jun Zechen. It was truly a case of mutual loathing, or rather, Jun Zechen's one-sided aversion.

She hasn't seen Ling Yue's attitude towards Jun Zechen at the very end of the novel.

Seeing Su Jingyao remain silent, Ling Yue continued, "You are truly lucky. If Jun Zechen were still the same person, with my memories from my past life, I would definitely have been able to ascend to the throne as Empress."

"But why is God so kind to you? In this life, Jun Zechen is even more ruthless and heartless, yet he is exceptionally fond of you."

Ling Yue clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Luck, good fortune? I really hate those two words."

"Unfortunately, I've always believed that luck is not a matter of chance but a skill, and the only thing I can control is not luck but skill."

Su Jingyao had absolutely no intention of listening to Ling Yue's nonsense anymore.

"My only gain from coming here today is that it has completely extinguished my curiosity about you. I wish you a happy life outside the palace, and goodbye forever, Ling Yue."

After Su Jingyao finished speaking, she prepared to get up.

Miaoyun quickly came over and helped her up.
