Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

These past few days, Jun Zechen has been staying in the Qianqing Palace, feeling increasingly irritable. Su Jingyao must have done this on purpose!

Five days after he instructed Minister Su to search for the butterfly carp in every city that might have it, they finally found traces of it in Jade Dragon City.

Subsequently, the people of Yulong City encountered numerous problems during the transportation of the butterfly carp. Originally, they brought five carp as tribute, but these butterfly carp have extremely strict requirements for their living environment, and three of them died en route.

Upon seeing this, the transporters hurriedly searched for a water source similar to Jade Dragon City, using every possible method, and finally managed to save the remaining two.

These past few days, he has not summoned her to the Qianqing Palace again. Watching her but being unable to enjoy her is extremely painful for him.

These past few days, he has been sitting in the Imperial Study handling state affairs, his mood always tinged with melancholy.

At that moment, Anshun suddenly rushed in, his face showing excitement.

"Your Majesty, the butterfly carp is almost at the capital!"

Anshun also figured it out: Consort Chunshu must be the emperor's darling in the harem now, after all, he knew how much effort the emperor had put into finding butterfly carp for Consort Chunshu.

Since Yulong discovered the butterfly carp, it took several more days to transport it over. Seeing that His Majesty was becoming increasingly irritable, the palace servants in Qianqing Palace became more and more careful in their service.

Now that the butterfly koi has finally arrived, His Majesty should be in a better mood.

Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen looked up, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Really?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Butterfly Carp should arrive in another hour." An Shun's face was full of smiles.

Jun Zechen suppressed his smile. Today, he was determined to punish the arrogant Consort Chunshu for daring to set a trap for him.

If it weren't for keeping his gentlemanly promise to her, why would he have endured such hardship for almost half a month?

Time ticked by, and during this hour, Jun Zechen had no interest in reviewing the memorials.

After the butterfly carp was delivered, Jun Zechen stepped outside the palace. Palace servants were gathered around a huge water vat containing the butterfly carp.

It's no wonder she likes it; the butterfly koi is indeed beautiful.

"Why use such a huge water tank?"

Moreover, this tank only contains two fish, yet it requires a tank that would take almost a dozen people to encircle to hold.

"Your Majesty, butterfly carp are very difficult to raise if they live in a cramped space."

Jun Zechen nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, he stepped towards Zhaochun Palace, and Anshun hurriedly ordered someone to carefully take the butterfly carp and follow behind His Majesty towards Zhaochun Palace.

When Jun Zechen stepped into Zhaochun Palace, his gaze swept across the room and he immediately saw her reclining on the couch, her posture languid and relaxed.

Holding a star in her arms, she flipped through a book in one hand.

The little star, with its big, watery eyes, stared intently at the book.

They looked incredibly adorable.

Upon seeing this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. How could a child who was only three months old possibly have any interest in books?

However, Xingxing didn't cry or make a fuss; she stared intently at the book, seemingly engrossed in it.

Su Jingyao, who was holding her child, suddenly felt the light dim. She slowly raised her head, blinked, and looked bewildered.

Why did he suddenly come? Did he find the butterfly koi?

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

She was about to get up and bow, but Jun Zechen stopped her with a gesture.

"What are you looking at?"

Jun Zechen walked to the mother and son's side, then sat down naturally, and habitually put his arm around her waist.

"May Your Majesty take a look?"

Su Jingyao smiled slightly and slowly brought the book closer to him.

This is a picture book that Su Jingyao specially drew for Xingxing. It contains high-contrast, colorful patterns.

Although I can't understand the stars now, I will stare at them intently.

The little one's big eyes were completely focused when looking at the picture book; it was absolutely adorable.

Jun Zechen glanced quickly at the picture book and asked softly, "Did Yao Yao draw this?"

Su Jingyao replied with a hint of coquettishness, "If it wasn't painted by me, then surely it was painted by Your Majesty?"

"I was just asking casually."

After saying that, he carefully took Xingxing out of Su Jingyao's arms.

Jun Zechen gently lifted Xingxing by the armpits with both hands and slowly brought the little one to his face.

Then he lowered his head slightly and looked closely into the star's big, round eyes that sparkled with bright light.

"Xingxing's eyes are as bright as the stars, just like Yaoyao's."

"My son certainly resembles me, but what brings Your Majesty here today?"

Su Jingyao's eyes sparkled, and a faint smile played on her lips.

Jun Zechen has been in a bad mood lately, and she knows it's because of her promise.

After all, Jun Zechen was so arrogant back then that he thought he was just a fish, and there was nothing he couldn't get or find.

It's understandable to feel a little annoyed that it took so long to get the result.

However, Su Jingyao rarely had the chance to see him so embarrassed, and she couldn't help but find it a little funny in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

Jun Zechen understood the deeper meaning in her words, and couldn't help but frown slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "If I can't find the Butterfly Carp, will Yao Yao ignore me?"

Su Jingyao's bright eyes darted around, and then her body suddenly went limp, gently leaning against his broad shoulder.

She parted her lips slightly and whispered, "No, Your Majesty, I miss you too."

Since this man has come to Zhaochun Palace, he must have found something. He always likes to hear nice things, so it's best not to provoke him today.

It seems he really went to great lengths to find this butterfly carp.

Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

At least she has a conscience.

Then she spoke and ordered, "Miaoyun, carry the eldest prince away."

Miao Yun took the eldest prince from His Majesty's hands, and Jun Zechen led Su Jingyao out of the palace.

"Where is Your Majesty taking me?"

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, her voice revealing her confusion.

"Yaoyao, come out with me."

Jun Zechen took her hand and led her outside.

After Su Jingyao curiously followed Jun Zechen outside, she saw more than a dozen people surrounding a water vat.

A glint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She and Jun Zechen stood at a slightly higher position, and looking down, they could clearly see the butterfly carp in the tank.

"It really is a butterfly koi!" she blurted out, her face full of excitement and joy.

"I had only seen them in books before, I never imagined that the real butterfly koi would be even more beautiful than those described in the books."

As she spoke, she stared at the butterfly koi.

Sunlight spills onto the water, making the long, numerous fins of the butterfly carp look exceptionally beautiful as they swim, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

Seeing her so happy, Jun Zechen suddenly felt that all the time and effort he had spent searching for the butterfly carp was worthwhile.

Then, he slowly said, "However, the growth of butterfly carp has very high requirements for the environment. This butterfly carp was discovered in a lake deep in the mountains of Jade Dragon City. I specially left someone from Jade Dragon City to take care of the butterfly carp for you."

"Your Majesty, I thank you. You are so kind."

Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen with her bright, star-like eyes filled with affection, her gaze so intense it seemed to melt hearts.

You have to give him plenty of emotional value, otherwise how can you expect him to keep giving you gifts?

Jun Zechen looked at her, his eyes deep and intense, her gaze burning as if it could scald his heart.

Even the most beautiful butterfly koi cannot compare to her beauty now.

Su Jingyao turned her gaze back to the water tank. "Your Majesty, where are these butterfly koi kept?"

"They will be kept in the pond for now, but the water in the pond will need to be changed. The water quality that butterfly koi are used to is similar to that of Wangyue Lake in the capital. We will then move the water from Wangyue Lake to the pond in your Zhaochun Palace."

Jun Zechen pondered carefully as he answered.

"However, the fish in your pond will have to be raised somewhere else. I've ordered someone to build another pond for you, and luckily Zhaochun Palace is big enough."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I am very touched by Your Majesty's thoughtful consideration."

After reading it, Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

He doesn't want to be moved.

Jun Zechen waved his hand and ordered his men to take the butterfly carp away.

Then, holding Su Jingyao's soft, boneless hand, he entered the hall.

After entering the sleeping quarters, Miaoyun and the others were very perceptive and wisely did not follow.

Jun Zechen picked the person up in his arms, his eyes burning with intense desire, like a raging fire.

"Does Yao Yao know how much I've suffered?" He deliberately lowered his voice, making one's bones melt.

His hug was so sudden that Su Jingyao couldn't help but show surprise, her beautiful eyes widening instantly.

To avoid falling, she almost instinctively wrapped her legs around his lean waist and put her arms around his neck.

Hearing his obvious words, a shy blush immediately rose on her face, as beautiful as the sunset.

She murmured softly, "Your Majesty, I do not know."

Jun Zechen carried her step by step to the bedside, and then sat on the bed. Su Jingyao sat on his lap, kneeling on the bed with her legs bent.

Because they were face to face, Jun Zechen looked closely at her flushed, peach-blossom-like face and her slightly trembling, curled eyelashes, making her appear both charming and innocent.

This made his already dark and deep eyes even darker, as if they could absorb all light.

Jun Zechen could no longer hold back. He reached out and firmly held her head, then eagerly kissed her.

With his other hand, he untied the ribbon that was tied in the middle of her black hair, and her long hair, like a waterfall, instantly cascaded down.

What a beautiful scene!
