Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Since Su Jingyao was diagnosed with pregnancy, His Majesty and the Empress have attached great importance to her and bestowed upon her many precious gifts.

The Empress, in particular, treated her with the utmost care, as if she were a precious gem.

After all, in the Empress's heart, the child in Su Jingyao's womb was of extraordinary significance. Not only was it the Crown Prince's eldest son, but it was also likely the Crown Prince's only heir before he ascended the throne.

Therefore, the Empress absolutely could not allow any mishaps to occur during this pregnancy.

Su Jingyao originally had her own small kitchen, but now, to ensure safety, all her ingredients are sourced from the Crown Prince's kitchen.

Moreover, she was specially assigned a dietitian, which is equivalent to a nutritionist in modern terms, who would carefully plan a nutritionally balanced diet for her based on her physical condition.

Regarding exercise during pregnancy, the experienced nanny Li would help her take a slow walk in the palace every day, and she would also do some yoga-like exercises.

Skin care is what Su Jingyao values ​​most.

She continued to massage and apply ointment according to the previous care method, but removed some of the herbs that might be harmful to the fetus.

Su Jingyao is now more than two months pregnant. The baby is still young and does not need prenatal education for the time being.

But when you are four months pregnant, you should start prenatal education.

Thinking about all this now, Su Jingyao felt that being pregnant now was quite good. Jun Zechen didn't have that many women yet, and their attention wasn't entirely focused on her.

This way her child will be safer.

Her child was the Crown Prince's first child, and the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince all paid special attention to it. She didn't know who dared to harm her unborn child.

In addition, she is still young, and her figure and skin will recover quickly after giving birth. After all, which man is not attracted to women?

No, women can be lustful too. Luckily, Jun Zechen is quite good-looking, otherwise she might not have been able to continue the act.

"Master, Consort An has arrived," Miaoyun said softly.

"She came to see me as soon as she was released from quarantine?"

Su Jingyao lay lazily on the chaise lounge, one hand casually resting on her forehead, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly a little impatient.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down her back, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.

Recently, due to her pregnancy, she felt very tired and listless.

"Let her in."

Su Jingyao's voice was tinged with sleepiness, and her eyelids were drooping slightly.

When An Jinyan entered, she saw Su Jingyao lying on the chaise lounge. Although she was two months pregnant, she was not showing and still had a slender waist.

An Jinyan's gaze fell on Su Jingyao, who was lying there in a light gauze dress without any makeup, yet she was still incredibly beautiful.

Her fair face was as delicate and smooth as white jade, her long eyelashes trembled slightly like fans, and her red lips were slightly upturned with a gentle smile.

An Jinyan felt a pang of jealousy.

Although she had removed her makeup, her natural features were still quite good, but her complexion wasn't great. She dared not appear in front of His Highness the Crown Prince without any makeup.

Even without makeup, Su Jingyao was still radiant.

If Su Jingyao knew that An Jinyan envied her good complexion, she would probably be very smug.

After all, she had been soaking in various precious medicinal herbs and applying various ointments since she was ten years old.

A whole host of maids also helped her with meridian massages and other treatments.

These were all bought with real money.

Moreover, most of these expenses were paid with money she earned herself; a minister's mansion might not be able to support her.

An Jinyan stepped forward and gave a slight curtsy, "This concubine greets Consort Consort."

Her voice was respectful, but her eyes flickered.

Su Jingyao remained lying on the chaise longue, a gentle smile on her face. "Sister An, please sit down. Miaoyun will serve tea."

"Yes, Master." Miaoyun responded and then stepped forward to bring An Jinyan a cup of flower tea.

An Jinyan took the flower tea, took a small sip, and savored it.

Her brows furrowed slightly at first, then slowly relaxed, revealing a look of surprise on her face.

She opened her eyes slightly and exclaimed, "Sister, the flower tea here seems to have a unique flavor. It has a rich floral aroma and a refreshing tea taste. It's really wonderful."

"If you like it, little sister, I'll have someone prepare some for you so you can take some back with you," Su Jingyao said with a smile and a gentle tone.

An Jinyan feigned reluctance, saying, "Thank you, sister."

Su Jingyao didn't continue the conversation, and for a moment, a strange silence filled the hall.

An Jinyan coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

She lowered her head slightly, seemingly somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I came to see you today to ask about your relationship with the Crown Princess."

After saying that, she raised her head and secretly observed Su Jingyao's expression.

On the day of the Crown Princess's birthday banquet, Su Jingyao risked her life to save the Crown Princess. Could it be that the Crown Prince favored her because of her good relationship with the Crown Princess?

Since her release from confinement, the Crown Prince has never summoned her.

She lived near the Crown Prince's bedchamber and deliberately bumped into him several times, but the Crown Prince ignored her every time.

Of the five newcomers, she is currently the one who receives the least attention!

An Jinyan became increasingly angry as she thought about it. She had been too impulsive back then and shouldn't have confronted the Crown Princess directly.

But if she doesn't confront the Crown Princess, how can she gain the Crown Prince's attention?

Although the Crown Princess was punished by the Empress at that time, the Crown Prince clearly favored her.

She must first find a way to win over the Crown Prince's heart.

Upon hearing her question, Su Jingyao's face showed a hint of melancholy. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently like a fan.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with disappointment and helplessness.

She said softly, "When I first entered the Eastern Palace, His Highness didn't like me. Only my elder sister, the Crown Princess, treated me well, and I was always very close to her. But later..."

"What happened next?"

An Jinyan asked impatiently, leaning forward slightly, her eyes full of eagerness.

"Later, His Highness summoned me for the sake of the imperial heir, and my sister, the Crown Princess, became estranged from me."

Su Jingyao sighed, her eyes filled with desolation.

An Jinyan frowned slightly, her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Does Your Highness know why His Highness is so fond of the Crown Princess? I feel..."

A hint of doubt and resentment flashed in An Jinyan's eyes. She bit her lip, looking hesitant, and stammered for a while.

She continued, "I feel that the Crown Princess's appearance is only average, and her family background is not as good as mine, much less so as that of my sister, the Consort. Why does Your Highness care so much about the Crown Princess?"

"Sister An, romantic relationships are not just about physical attraction. The Crown Princess grew up in the borderlands and is different from us women in the capital. She is free-spirited and kind, so it's only natural that the Crown Prince likes her."

Su Jingyao raised her chin slightly, a gentle smile on her face, and slowly explained.

After hearing this, An Jinyan slowly lowered her eyelashes, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, as if she was carefully pondering Su Jingyao's words.

Is that how it is?

Does the crown prince prefer innocent and naive women?

Therefore, her previous actions have already been labeled as scheming and manipulative in the Crown Prince's eyes.

Thinking of this, An Jinyan felt a surge of annoyance.

No wonder the Crown Prince has been summoning that little slut Tang Suxi so often lately!

That little bitch was the best at putting on an act during the talent show!

If it weren't for her pretentious act, how could she have been chosen by the Empress to become the Crown Prince's concubine, given her humble family background?

An Jinyan bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, a surge of indescribable jealousy and resentment welling up in her heart, and her lowered eyes became somewhat gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds.

It seems I need to change my approach to seducing His Highness.

After a moment, she slowly raised her head, trying to force a smile, but it looked somewhat forced and stiff.

"Thank you for telling me all this today, sister. We can chat again another day. I'll head back now."

"Okay, take care, little sister."

Su Jingyao smiled and nodded, watching An Jinyan's departing figure with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

She still prefers her own kind, striving to climb higher and disguising herself, wearing various masks to achieve her goals.

After An Jinyan left, Miaoyun frowned slightly, her face showing some doubt and confusion.

She looked at Su Jingyao lying on the chaise longue and asked softly, "Master, why are you helping Consort An?"

Su Jingyao straightened up slightly, propped her head up with one hand, and casually played with a strand of hair with the other, analyzing the situation unhurriedly.

"Among the five new brides, Consort An and Consort Bai come from better families. When Consort Bai paid her respects that day, I could tell that she was a bit impatient and her appearance was also average. With such a temperament and appearance, it would not be easy for His Highness to like her."

The "average looks" that Su Jingyao described wasn't really average; she was just an ordinary beauty, only not particularly stunning.

"Although Consort Tang has been summoned by His Highness several times in the past month and is considered to be favored, she is timid, has an unremarkable family background, and a low rank, so she is not of much use to me at the moment."

With Tang Fengyi's current family background and status, she can only firmly hold onto Jun Zechen's favor.

"If Consort An gains favor, she will then target the Crown Princess."

As Su Jingyao said this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

After all, An Liangdi's goals were not simple. She was proud and arrogant, and it was impossible for her to get along with the Crown Princess. In the original novel, An Liangdi made Ling Yue suffer a lot.

Then Su Jingyao glanced at Miaoyun and instructed, "Our people must be well hidden. We should try to obtain all of An Liangdi's plans. I will give her a push when the time comes."

Su Jingyao lay languidly on the chaise lounge, her figure graceful and alluring.

She propped her head up with one hand, while the other rested casually on the couch, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

Miaoyue and Miaoxia were guarding outside. Fortunately, she had brought many of her own people with her when she entered the East Palace.

If there were spies in her palace, she would have to be careful when she spoke, which would be exhausting.

The reason Su Jingyao explained all this to Miaoyun was because Miaoyun was the most composed of the four of them, and Su Jingyao would involve Miaoyun in many of the plans.

Upon hearing this, Miaoyun's face first showed a hint of astonishment, then her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes widened, revealing a look of utter surprise.

She tentatively asked, "Has your goal always been the Crown Princess? Your master wants the Crown Princess...?"

As she finished speaking, she slowly raised her right hand and made a throat-slitting gesture, with a hint of ruthlessness.

Su Jingyao chuckled after hearing Miaoyun's words. She raised her chin slightly, looked at Miaoyun, and her bright eyes were full of confident strategist.

"Miaoyun, I would never do such a cruel thing. I just don't want the Crown Princess to ascend to the Empress's throne."

Su Jingyao didn't want her things to have originally belonged to someone else.

Men are an exception; they're already dirty, so it doesn't matter how much dirtier they get.

All you need to do is give her what she wants.

She indulged in the world's top luxury and prestige during her lifetime, and became a wise and virtuous empress whose name will be remembered in history after her death.

Everyone would think she is a perfect woman.

Su Jingyao has lived in the Jun Kingdom for fifteen years, and she has long since accepted the rules of this world.

She needs to follow these rules, climb up step by step, and make the best of her life.

I really hope that An Jinyan can open the female lead's Pandora's box and unleash all of her greed and desires.

This made Jun Zechen realize that the woman he liked when he was young had changed; she was no different from any other woman in the capital.

Like the court women he despised, she would scheme and plot in any way to win his favor.

However, it doesn't matter to her whether Ling Yue is scheming or not, because if Ling Yue is scheming, she might lose Jun Zechen's heart.

If Ling Yue hadn't schemed, she might have lost her life.

Thinking of this, Su Jingyao's lips curled into a cold smile, as dangerous as Satan, sending chills down one's spine.
