Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Su Jingyao leaned against Jun Zechen, her face displaying an almost indifferent expression; however, Jun Zechen couldn't see anything.

Her eyes were slightly lowered, as if hiding endless thoughts.

She didn't care about these women at all; she knew perfectly well that they were just there to lower the guard of the country that had sent envoys today.

After all, Jun Zechen harbored lofty ambitions and wanted to bring all these countries into the territory of Jun Kingdom.

These so-called princesses and noble ladies are, in the end, nothing more than pawns in the power struggle between nations.

Su Jingyao is attracted to men with ambition and power.

If Jun Zechen could expand the territory of the Jun Kingdom and become a great emperor like Genghis Khan, that would be what Su Jingyao would truly admire and respect.

At that time, she and Jun Zechen will be able to leave a very significant mark on history.

But if Jun Zechen is incompetent and ultimately overthrows the emperor and is replaced, then she…

A barely perceptible hint of determination flashed in Su Jingyao's eyes.

Naturally, she had to find another way. No matter who became emperor, Su Jingyao could become his empress. Even under this feudal system, she wanted to try serving two husbands.

Even if we ultimately fail, so what? We die, that's it. If we can't stand at the peak, living is nothing more than making do.

However, she naturally couldn't let Jun Zechen know about these bold and resolute ideas.

Su Jingyao feigned a pitiful look and said softly, "Your Majesty has so many women in your harem. Now that Your Majesty favors me and can tolerate my jealousy, I'm afraid you'll think I'm just being unreasonable in the future. I will never believe Your Majesty."

Su Jingyao truly did not trust Jun Zechen, so as the empress, she had to work hard to gain the support of the court officials.

In that case, even in the worst-case scenario, if Jun Zechen wanted to depose the empress, he would have to carefully consider whether it would cause dissatisfaction among the court officials and the people.

Jun Zechen reached out and gently lifted her face, his deep, unfathomable eyes fixed intently on her.

"I will dedicate my life to fulfilling my promise to Yao Yao."

His heart was completely occupied by her, and now he was focusing more on politics.

He only favored these women in the harem periodically as part of his plan; he had no other intentions towards them.

Jun Zechen's only requirement for them was that they not annoy him.

Kunning Palace.

Su Jingyao finished her bath with Miaoxia's help.

She put on a bright red nightgown, which she had specially commissioned the Imperial Clothing Bureau to make secretly.

The neckline was extremely low, and the skirt was split all the way up to the upper thigh.

The nightgown was extremely thin, perfectly highlighting her fair and delicate skin. Her figure was graceful and alluring, and her high, firm breasts were particularly prominent under the nightgown, almost bursting out.

When Jun Zechen came out after taking a bath, he immediately saw her and couldn't take his eyes off her.

His eyes burned with intense desire. He stood there motionless, his deep, dark eyes seemingly possessing a powerful suction that could draw Su Jingyao in completely.

Su Jingyao walked up to Jun Zechen, tilted her head slightly to meet his gaze, and then chuckled softly.

She licked the water droplets off his chest and felt the man stiffen instantly; Su Jingyao's eyes involuntarily curved into a smile.

Then, she deliberately rubbed her protruding part against the man, her eyes sparkling with an extremely alluring charm, her upturned eyes gazing at him with captivating allure, as if they could steal one's soul.

Jun Zechen reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, slowly lifting her up, his voice low and filled with suppressed desire.

"I already have no resistance to Yao Yao, and she actually dares to seduce me?"

Then, Jun Zechen led her to the bedside. Su Jingyao had her back to Jun Zechen, and Jun Zechen placed her hand on the bedpost.

She turned her head, her eyes filled with surprise.

Does he want to be here?

This was the first time Jun Zechen had seen her wearing such a dress; her beautiful back was fully revealed under the sheer fabric.

The curves of her waist and hips appeared even more alluring because of her slightly bent-over movement, not to mention her long, slender legs that were faintly visible.

Jun Zechen pressed down behind her, raising her hands high above her head, and said in a deep voice, "I think Yao Yao looks more beautiful standing up."

Without giving Su Jingyao any chance to refute, he turned her pretty face and impatiently sealed her lips with his.

After that, Su Jingyao could only grip the bedpost tightly with her small hands, enduring the man's storm-like assault.

......

......

Second day

Su Jingyao woke up slowly at Chenshi (7-9 AM). After Miaoxia carefully dressed her, she walked to the main hall of Kunning Palace and sat on the phoenix throne, which symbolized supreme power.

Soon, the concubines from the three palaces and six courtyards filed in and performed the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly, her eyes sweeping indifferently over the group of concubines bowing below. Looking at their respectful yet humble posture, an indescribable sense of pleasure welled up in her heart.

She loved how these concubines, who clearly coveted the position, could only watch helplessly as they lowered their noble heads in a respectful and humble manner, kneeling at her feet.

On this Emperor's birthday, five new concubines were added to the imperial harem.

Princess Mingyue was granted the title of Consort Shu and was granted the residence of Yongning Palace.

Princess Saihan of the Canglang Kingdom was also made a concubine and given the title "Lan". She resided in Yuqing Palace.

Princess Yixuan of Lingyu Kingdom was granted the title of Noble Consort, with the character "Xuan" in her name, and was assigned to reside in Changchun Palace.

Princess Narenqi of the Seabuckthorn Kingdom was granted the title of Jieyu and bestowed with the character "Ning". She was known as Consort Ning and lived in the Hehuan Hall of Zhongcui Palace, sharing the same palace with Consort Xian (An Jinyan).

Princess Ya Fu of Yue Lin Kingdom was also granted the title of Jieyu, with the title "Ya" bestowed upon her. She became Jieyu Ya and lived in the Zilan Hall of Chang Le Palace, where she lived with Consort Lin.

Today, Kunning Palace is bustling with activity, filled with imperial concubines.

However, Su Jingyao didn't have much interest in dealing with them, and she was too lazy to pay attention to the jealous and resentful looks from Consort De (Ling Yue) and Consort Lin.

After giving a few simple instructions, he waved his hand and dismissed the concubines.

Then he ordered that special etiquette instructors be assigned to teach the newly entered concubines. The instruction period was set at half a month. Only after mastering the court etiquette would they have the opportunity to be summoned by His Majesty.

Time flowed by, and before they knew it, Chu Meiren (Chu Yinxue)'s child was born, and she successfully gave birth to the third prince for Jun Zechen.

When Consort Chu gave birth, Empress Su Jingyao naturally had to personally attend to her, while Jun Zechen was busy handling state affairs and did not come.

Consort Xian (An Jinyan) originally longed to raise the Third Prince, but His Majesty ultimately did as she and the Empress had predicted, registering the Third Prince under Consort De's name and entrusting Consort De with raising the Third Prince.

Seeing Consort De's smug expression, Consort Xian's face immediately darkened.

She'll take the Third Prince away sooner or later.

Consort De held the Third Prince with great joy and affection, her eyes filled with tenderness.

She finally has a child of her own, and she will take back everything she has lost with the help of the Third Prince!

-

The Peony Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

Consort De (Ling Yue) and Consort Lin (Lin Miaoyin) sat together. Consort De always had a seemingly kind smile on her face, a smile that seemed to carry a deeper meaning, yet was hard to fathom.

Consort Lin, on the other hand, looked rather serious, with a slight frown and a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"What is the matter that Consort De has summoned me for today?"

Consort Lin broke the silence first, her tone tinged with doubt and wariness.

Consort De turned her head slightly, her smile undiminished, and asked, "I've heard you've been spending more time with Consort Xian lately?"

Consort Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and her heart tightened. She was close to Consort Xian in order to form an alliance with her, but she also knew that Consort Xian and Consort De had always been at odds.

She composed herself, adjusting her expression slightly, and replied calmly, "I am close to all the ladies in the palace. Why would Consort De say such a thing?"

Consort Lin did not directly respond to Consort De's words, but instead cleverly deflected the attack with a subtle and persuasive approach.

"Consort Lin entered the palace late and may not know the relationship between me, Consort Xian, and the Empress. But if Consort Lin wants to rely on Consort Xian, I advise you to think carefully."

Consort De still wore that smile, but now it seemed to have a more profound meaning.

"What does Your Highness mean by this?" Consort Lin frowned, asking with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"I have a grudge against Consort Xian since my time in the Eastern Palace. Back when His Majesty cared for me, he utterly despised Consort Xian. Tell me, who is it that allowed Consort Xian to become one of the Four Consorts?"

Consort De spoke slowly, but a shrewd glint appeared in her eyes.

"The Empress?" Consort Lin asked.

Then, composing herself, she countered, "Your Highness, when I framed you on horseback, have you already forgiven me and even sent a message to me?"

Consort Lin's expression became somewhat complicated, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

"I can forgive and forget what happened back then, but now that the Empress is powerful, I naturally want to secure a good future for the Third Prince. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Consort De slightly raised her chin, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Consort Lin was alarmed and quickly said, "When did I become an enemy of the Empress? Consort De, please don't frame me."

Consort Lin's expression became even more serious, and her brows furrowed even more deeply.

"The Empress is His Majesty's darling. If Consort Lin wants to compete for his favor, does she expect to either turn against the Empress or side with her?"

Consort De spoke in the same calm tone, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

"Consort De, you have said time and again that the Empress is His Majesty's beloved, but how could such a dignified and aloof man as His Majesty have someone he loves?"

Consort Lin's eyes revealed a hint of resentment and doubt; she still found it hard to believe that His Majesty could have such deep feelings for the Empress.

Consort Lin frowned deeply as she looked at Consort De's malicious smile, pondering whether she should trust Consort De.

If His Majesty truly has someone else in his heart and only loves the Empress, then what is the reason for His Majesty's special treatment of her?

Could I really be the empress's shield?

Lin Fei's mind was becoming increasingly chaotic, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

She carefully recalled all the things that had happened since she entered the palace, and then she thought of Consort Ye. While she and Consort Ye were fighting fiercely, the Empress was unharmed and even unknowingly caused Consort Ye to be disliked by the Emperor. Was all of this just a coincidence?

Or is His Majesty plotting this behind the scenes?

Thinking of all this, Lin Fei felt a chill run down her spine, and a coldness welled up from the bottom of her heart.

"Does Consort Lin want to know how His Majesty treats the Empress differently?" Consort De and Consort Lin exchanged glances and asked with smiles.
