Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

After all the concubines had left, Su Jingyao stood quietly, without uttering a single word.

Jun Zechen pulled her into his arms, his voice gentle, "Was Yao Yao frightened?"

Su Jingyao gently shook her head. "Your Majesty, I am just unsure how to feel. I am also surprised that Consort Ling would risk her own safety to save me."

She looked at Jun Zechen with a somewhat helpless gaze, as if seeking some kind of answer.

Jun Zechen felt a pang of heartache. He knew the inner turmoil and struggle she was going through. After all, she had lost her child because of Consort Ling, but today Consort Ling had saved her. Such a contradictory situation was indeed hard to let go of.

"Yaoyao, don't overthink it. I will definitely investigate today's events thoroughly. If Consort Ling did not interfere but genuinely saved Yaoyao, I will reward her accordingly. Yaoyao, there's no need to dwell on this."

Su Jingyao nodded gently and lowered her head slightly.

However, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his lowered eyes.

Consort Ling has become clever; she even knows to drag Consort Lin into her rivalry. Ha, how laughable.

Jun Zechen noticed that she still seemed a little unhappy, so he affectionately pinched her rosy cheeks.

"Alright, I'll take you hunting."

After saying that, Jun Zechen took her hand and they came together to the magnificent snow phoenix. He helped her mount the horse steadily.

Afterwards, the two rode their horses leisurely in another direction of the dense forest, where no other participating teams would pass by.

Jun Zechen's guards followed them closely, protecting their safety at all times.

On the third day after arriving at Chunshou Pass, Su Jingyao stepped into this dense forest for the first time. Her face was full of curiosity, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

In modern times, living in the city, I have never seen such a primitive jungle, with tall and straight trees.

Even when you go inside, you always feel a faint, eerie atmosphere around you, as if a large, ferocious beast might suddenly leap out at any moment.

A pair of big, watery eyes kept looking around, full of curiosity and curiosity.

Seeing that she had returned to normal, Jun Zechen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have his good mood ruined by what had just happened while he was out with her today.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous if a wild beast suddenly appeared in this jungle and attacked us? I'm a little scared."

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, a hint of fear showing on her face, her delicate hands gripping the reins tightly.

Jun Zechen gently took her hand and tugged on the reins, bringing the two horses closer together.

"If any wild beasts do emerge, I will surely shoot them all down. Doesn't Yao Yao believe me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jingyao saw a deer suddenly dart out in front of her, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Turning to look at Jun Zechen, her face lit up with surprise, "Your Majesty, a deer!"

Jun Zechen looked in the direction she was pointing, his eyes instantly sharpening. He quickly took out an arrow, drew his bow, and with a "whoosh," the arrow shot out, and the prey instantly collapsed.

This was the first time Su Jingyao had ever witnessed ancient people hunting, and she felt an extraordinary sense of wonder.

In the past, back in modern times, I had only ever seen targets used by athletes in shooting competitions.

"Wow, that's amazing!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Would you like to give it a try, Yao Yao?" Jun Zechen asked her with a smile.

Su Jingyao nodded vigorously, and the guards behind her hurriedly came forward with the bow and arrows that Jun Zechen had prepared for her.

The bow and arrow set was significantly lighter, making it easy for her to carry.

Su Jingyao reached out and took the bow and arrow, and then Jun Zechen led her deeper into the dense forest.

Suddenly, they spotted a wild rabbit crouching quietly in front of them, foraging for food. They were still some distance away from the rabbit, which had not yet noticed their approach.

Su Jingyao took a deep breath, held her breath, and looked at Jun Zechen with her bright eyes full of expectation. She even blinked playfully, and then her two curved eyebrows gestured to Jun Zechen.

She's going to shoot that rabbit!

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle at her incredibly lively expression; how could she be so adorable?

Su Jingyao placed the arrows, then slightly narrowed one eye, held the bowstring tightly with one hand, and firmly gripped the bow with the other. Even if she didn't know how, her posture had to be cool.

She drew the bowstring taut with all her might, then released it, and the arrow shot out, her eyes fixed on the distance with anticipation.

Seeing the direction and force of her arrow, Jun Zechen knew in his heart that she would definitely miss.

So he quickly shot an arrow in rhythm with her.

His arrow, along with Su Jingyao's arrow, actually struck the rabbit's leg!

Su Jingyao first looked at the injured rabbit, then turned to look at Jun Zechen, her little mouth slightly pouting, with a hint of reproach.

"Your Majesty's actions make me seem utterly useless."

Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. "No way, Yao Yao shot that rabbit. Yao Yao is very good."

Afterwards, Jun Zechen led Su Jingyao on a stroll through the dense forest for nearly half an hour, during which they also shot quite a few small animals.

Jun Zechen didn't feel tired yet, but Su Jingyao was already exhausted.

She frowned slightly and said to Jun Zechen in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, I'm tired. Let's go back to our tents."

As she spoke, she laboriously raised the bow and arrow in her hand, as if to indicate that she really could hardly hold the bow and arrow anymore.

Jun Zechen's eyes darkened as he looked at her somewhat tired appearance. The main event of the day had only just begun; how could he let her go back now?

"Let's go back later. How about I take you horseback riding?"

"I have no strength left," Su Jingyao said pitifully.

"Yaoyao doesn't need to exert herself."

After saying that, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Su Jingyao's waist, and with a forceful pull, he easily lifted her up to his side.

For a fleeting moment, Su Jingyao felt a sense of fear. Was she really that light? She had been lifted up so easily.

After placing her in front of him, Jun Zechen held the reins tightly with one hand and wrapped his other arm firmly around her waist. His deep voice slowly sounded in her ear, "Yaoyao, are you ready?"

Su Jingyao's originally tired mood was now filled with excitement. She was not good at horseback riding and had never ridden a horse at full speed before.

She nodded emphatically.

Jun Zechen spurred the horse's flanks with his legs, and the once docile warhorse instantly bolted like an arrow. The guards following behind Jun Zechen also galloped off in an instant.

Su Jingyao felt the intense jolting on horseback and the howling wind, experiencing an exhilarating thrill. She couldn't help but shout, "So fast!"

The two of them slowly stopped when Jun Zechen rode his horse to a stream.

Jun Zechen nimbly dismounted from his horse, then stretched out his arms and carried Su Jingyao down as well.

The moment Su Jingyao's feet touched the ground, her legs went weak for a split second, and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Jun Zechen held her waist tightly the whole time and never let go.

Jun Zechen turned his head, looked at the guards behind him, and said in a deep voice, "All of you, retreat a hundred meters."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the guards replied in unison.

After feeling much better, Su Jingyao pushed Jun Zechen away and began to fully enjoy the natural scenery.

The stream flows gently, making a pleasant sound. It is so clear that you can clearly see the sand and stones at the bottom and the small fish swimming around.

Beside me were tall and lush trees, verdant and green, and the grass under my feet was incredibly soft, as if I were walking on cotton.

Because of its proximity to a water source, this place exudes a vibrant atmosphere, with various colorful flowers growing in the grass, making it a picturesque scene.

It's really very beautiful.

Su Jingyao's eyes and brows were filled with a joyful smile.
