Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

A light drizzle fell, like silk threads, as if the world were shrouded in a thin veil.

An Liangdi knelt upright before His Highness the Crown Prince, her hair slightly damp from the fine rain.

A few strands of hair clung messily to her pale cheeks, adding to her pitiful and delicate appearance.

An Shun respectfully held an umbrella for His Highness the Crown Prince; he had originally intended to have someone hold an umbrella for Consort An as well.

But today, On Leong Tai's actions are clearly a carefully planned ploy to sow her own misfortune.

He simply watched silently from the sidelines, without interfering.

An Jinyan's eyes were filled with tears, and the tears rolled down one after another like pearls from a broken string.

The raindrops slid down her delicate cheeks, gathered at her chin, and then fell onto the wet ground, mingling with the drizzle.

The voice was filled with endless sorrow and lamentation, each note heart-wrenching, like weeping and pleading.

"Your Highness, I know I shouldn't have been so disrespectful to the Crown Princess. I truly know I was wrong..."

Her voice trembled, filled with deep self-blame and regret.

"But I only admire Your Highness. When I first entered the Eastern Palace, I saw the Crown Princess monopolizing Your Highness, and my heart was filled with unbearable pain."

"I did not intentionally show off in front of the Crown Princess that day. I truly did not know that the Crown Princess and His Highness had such deep affection for each other..."

When Jun Zechen heard her mention the words "deep affection," his eyes flickered, and his lowered gaze was deep and unsettling, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts at that moment.

"I thought the Crown Princess was dignified and magnanimous, and wouldn't mind His Highness favoring a new concubine..."

An Jinyan continued to sob, reaching out her slender hand as if trying to grasp the hem of the Crown Prince's robe.

Her teary eyes were truly pitiful, a truly endearing sight.

Jun Zechen looked down at her. In truth, he didn't particularly like these newcomers.

However, because of the bad impression he had left on An Jinyan in the past, he did not want to favor her.

However, seeing her pitiful state now, he couldn't help but think of when she first entered the Eastern Palace, whether she had also felt lost and helpless because of his indifference.

Get up.

Jun Zechen finally spoke, but his voice was devoid of any emotion.

An Jinyan's face immediately lit up with a look of surprise. "Thank you, Your Highness." Her voice was full of joy.

After a moment's hesitation, she cautiously asked, "The rain is heavy today. Would Your Highness like to go to Xiyun Palace for a cup of tea to warm yourself up?"

Jun Zechen remained expressionless; it seemed that the destination was unimportant to him.

He was originally going to see Tang Fengyi today. She was a quiet woman who didn't talk much but was quite pretty.

Jun Zechen now has a clear understanding of women. They bear him imperial heirs, and he grants them rights and status.

He doesn't need to talk about feelings with them.

Jun Zechen then nodded slightly.

An Jinyan smiled brightly, a smile that was both smug and proud.

Following closely behind Jun Zechen, they returned to Xiyun Palace.

--

"Master, ever since you gave Consort An your advice last time, she has become much more timid."

"That time when it was raining, when His Highness the Crown Prince went to Consort Tang's Shuyu Pavilion, Consort An deliberately rushed in front of His Highness and blocked him."

"But she actually succeeded; His Highness the Crown Prince really went to her Xiyun Palace."

"Now, An Liangdi and Tang Fengyi are like oil and water, completely incompatible."

Miaoyun stood to the side, holding a fan in her hand, and slowly fanned Su Jingyao.

Beside her was an ice basin, radiating a slight coolness.

Su Jingyao is now four months pregnant. It's August, and the heat is unbearable, so she always has an ice basin in her room.

As Su Jingyao listened to Miaoyun's gossip, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She felt that every day was not so boring anymore.

Jun Zechen doesn't summon his concubines very often, only about five or six times a month. Currently, he summons An Liangdi and Bai Fengyi the most.

The places they visited most often were Qiluan Palace and Xiyan Palace.

When she became pregnant, Jun Zechen would visit her at Xiyan Palace almost every day.

On this day, after dealing with the mountain of memorials, Jun Zechen slowly stepped into Xiyan Palace, bathed in the brilliant afterglow of the sunset.

The beautiful woman, dressed in a loose gauze dress, reclined languidly on the chaise longue.

Without careful observation, it would be almost impossible to tell that she was six months pregnant. Apart from her slightly protruding belly, her limbs remained as slender and long as ever.

Su Jingyao was lying on her side, pretending to be asleep. Recently, the baby in her womb seemed to be particularly naughty, constantly bothering her and causing her to frequently experience morning sickness, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Jun Zechen approached silently and then gently sat down beside her.

Su Jingyao keenly sensed the movement and slowly opened her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.

Upon seeing him, tears of grievance welled up in Su Jingyao's eyes. She sat up and stretched out her arms to hug the man's lean and strong waist tightly.

"Your Highness." Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness and dependence.

Jun Zechen gently embraced her and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is the baby in your belly making you uncomfortable again?"

"Yes, he's really disobedient, always making a fuss, and I haven't been able to eat much lately."

Su Jingyao said in a coquettish tone, while pouting slightly.

"What did the food doctor say?" Jun Zechen asked with concern, his brows furrowed slightly.

"I used to use medicinal cuisine to nourish my body, but lately the meals prepared by the dietitian have always made me feel greasy and I feel like vomiting after eating them."

"Then I'll have Physician Li come and take a look at the meals you used to eat. If there's nothing wrong with them, and you can still eat them, that's good."

Jun Zechen patiently offered his suggestion.

Su Jingyao nodded gently.

When Imperial Physician Li arrived, Consort Su was leaning against His Highness the Crown Prince's arms.

His Highness the Crown Prince was tall and imposing, with the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix; Consort Su was graceful and charming, with an ethereal beauty.

Physician Li was momentarily stunned by the breathtaking scene before him. After a few moments, he came to his senses, quickly lowered his head, and respectfully stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Your Highness, this humble subject pays respects to Consort Su." Imperial Physician Li's voice carried a hint of reverence.

Get up.

"I called you here today to show you these dishes."

"Now that the concubine is vomiting whenever she eats the meals prepared by the dietary doctor, I have had thirty of the meals that the concubine used to eat, as well as fifty of the meals that the dietary doctor prepared during her pregnancy, prepared for her. Take a close look at them and see what is most suitable for a four-month pregnant woman to eat."

Then, one by one, eunuchs and palace maids entered, each carrying a tray with ten small bowls of exquisite food.

Looking at the meal, Physician Li was shocked. He thought that the concubine had some health problem, and the Crown Prince had hurriedly summoned him.

The result is to look at the diet.

Physician Li carefully approached each patient to examine them, sometimes sniffing them closely, sometimes scrutinizing them closely.

After about fifteen minutes, Physician Li selected fifteen kinds of food.

"Consort Su, why don't you try these dishes?" Imperial Physician Li suggested.

Su Jingyao was already used to the rich aroma of medicinal cuisine, so she tried the ambergris and cordyceps soup first.

She frowned slightly and swallowed with difficulty, but after a while, her body began to act against her.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth, "Take it away, I don't want to eat it!"

Upon seeing this, Jun Zechen's face showed concern, and he waved for the palace maid to take the dish away.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao tried several more dishes, but she felt increasingly unwell.

"Your Highness, I don't want to try it anymore." Su Jingyao's voice carried a hint of grievance.

Jun Zechen felt a pang of sympathy seeing her pitiful expression, but how could she not eat?

"Imperial Physician Li, is there anything that can be done about the concubine's current condition?" the Crown Prince asked in a deep voice.

Physician Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. In fact, he really wanted to say that it was normal for pregnant women to experience morning sickness and loss of appetite during these months, and that they could usually just endure it.

But seeing how the Crown Prince treated his concubine like a precious jewel, he naturally dared not say such a thing.

A thoughtful look flashed in Physician Li's eyes.

A few days ago, a young imperial physician joined the Imperial Medical Academy. It is said that there is a fruit in his hometown called the Red Wonder Fruit, which, after being processed, is extremely effective in relieving morning sickness in pregnant women.

I mixed the juice of the red kiwi fruit with honey and some lemon, along with other ingredients, to make a juice, and I even let him try it.

Imperial Physician Li thought that this juice might be worth trying for Consort Su, since she had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently.

This pregnancy of Consort Su is of utmost importance, and there can be no mistakes.

"Your Highness, I have another method, but this prescription is a folk remedy from the hometown of a young imperial physician. I have examined it and found no problems with it. You may allow Consort Su to try it," Physician Li said respectfully.

"Okay, bring it here."

Upon hearing this, Physician Li rushed back to the Imperial Hospital. He hurried along, looking anxious, and quickly threw himself into the task of making the medicine. Seeing this, the young physician had a thoughtful look in his eyes and then helped Physician Li with the task.

Fortunately, the process was not very complicated and was completed in no time. Afterward, he rushed to the East Palace without stopping.

At this moment, Su Jingyao leaned listlessly against Jun Zechen's chest, looking weak and lifeless.

Miaoyun carefully placed the juice that Physician Li had presented in front of Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao first took a light sniff of the juice, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

But her expression remained calm and undisturbed.

Then, she took a small sip of juice and picked up a piece of flower cake from the side and ate it.

A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. "Your Highness, this juice really works! I ate this flower cake and I don't feel nauseous anymore."

Jun Zechen's face immediately lit up with joy. "Good, good, good, Physician Li will reward you."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Li was pleased, but dared not take all the credit. He quickly said, "Your Highness, the red juicy fruit in this juice was provided to me by Imperial Physician Jin, a new physician in the Imperial Hospital. This physician is quite proficient in gynecology."

"Your Highness, I really enjoy this juice. Would you mind having this new imperial physician and Physician Li both take care of me?"

Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen with anticipation in her eyes.

"Physician Li is one of the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy. In addition to taking care of my health, he also has many other matters to handle."

"Let a new imperial physician take care of me. The new physician will have more free time and can look after me at all times. I won't have to bother Imperial Physician Li with trivial matters," Su Jingyao said slowly.

Jun Zechen thought for a moment, "Hmm, Yao Yao is right."

He then turned to Physician Li and said, "From now on, the two of you will take care of the concubine together."

"Yes, Your Highness. However, this red elixir is not native to the capital. It is said to be unique to Guangling City, the hometown of Physician Jin. Moreover, it is currently the harvest season. Would Your Highness like to send some back to the capital?" Physician Li said respectfully.

"Yes, I will send someone to bring some back. You and that Imperial Physician Jin should estimate how many Red Miracle Fruits the concubine needs."

"After I order the person to be brought back, store them in the ice cellar. This is exclusively for the concubine. No one else may touch it without my permission," Jun Zechen said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Highness," Physician Li replied.

After Physician Li left, Su Jingyao had a slight appetite because of the fruit juice.

After having dinner with her, Jun Zechen accompanied her for a walk in the courtyard.

Her steps were somewhat heavy due to her pregnancy, but Jun Zechen carefully stayed by her side, gently comforting her from time to time.

After Jun Zechen left, Su Jingyao returned to the palace and began pruning the roses that the Imperial Household Department had sent that day.

However, her mind was not on the roses at all; a dark look flashed in her eyes, like a dark cloud covering them.

"Who let him into the palace?"

Her voice carried a hint of coldness, as if it could freeze the surrounding air.

Su Jingyao's scissors, without her noticing, cut off the entire flower.

The vibrant rose petals immediately fell to the ground, scattering everywhere.

Miaoyun stood there, somewhat at a loss.

She didn't know what her master was saying, but she could tell from the unhappiness in his tone.

"Whom is Master referring to?"
