Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Su Jingyao stretched out her slender, fair fingers and gently picked up the exquisite jar on the dressing table, which contained lip rouge.

It was specially prepared for her by Li Jing.

She has two types of lip balm, one of which contains pemystique extract and has an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect.

The other one contains datura flower juice, so its hallucinogenic effect is slightly less pronounced.

If she intended to keep Jun Zechen here tonight, then she would prepare to apply black jade lip rouge.

The reason why medication was needed was, of course, because Su Jingyao was almost certain of the situation.

Because Jun Zechen felt guilty, he would definitely go to the Consort's palace to comfort her.

However, she couldn't openly compete for favor; no matter how she schemed, she couldn't let her public image crumble.

A little bit of hallucinogenic lip balm made Jun Zechen lose control of himself, and the best way to make him stay with her was undoubtedly through this.

Moreover, she was confident in her acting skills, so naturally Jun Zechen wouldn't have any doubts.

But now, she has a different idea.

She wanted Jun Zechen to go find Ling Yue.

Su Jingyao picked up the datura lip balm and gently applied it to her lips.

She looked at herself in the mirror and found herself to be absolutely gorgeous.

"Miaoyun, have Miaoyue prepare a bowl of nourishing black chicken and ginseng soup. We're going to Qianqing Palace to express our gratitude."

"Yes, Master."

The entrance to the Qianqing Palace.

"This servant greets Consort Chunshu."

The servants at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace bowed their heads, performing their salutes with utmost respect, their voices tinged with a hint of flattery.

Su Jingyao slightly raised her eyes, a graceful smile playing on her lips.

"Rise. I specially prepared ginseng soup for Your Majesty today to express my gratitude. I wonder if Your Majesty has any free time at this moment?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression full of gentle grace.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. This servant will go in and inform you immediately."

The servant quickly responded and then bowed and hurried into the hall.

After Su Jingyao waited patiently for a while, the little eunuch who had just left hurriedly came out.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty invites you in." The little eunuch had a fawning smile on his face.

As Su Jingyao walked in, standing outside the palace gate was Eunuch Fuquan, the adopted son of Eunuch Dehai, the chief eunuch who served the late emperor.

After the late emperor's burial, Eunuch Dehai left the palace to retire. Now, the two chief eunuchs by His Majesty's side are Anshun and Fuquan.

Upon seeing Su Jingyao, Fuquan quickly bowed and said, "This servant greets Your Majesty. His Majesty is waiting for you."

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, her face still bearing that gentle smile, as warm as a spring breeze.

Fuquan opened the door for her, and she led Miaoyun gracefully into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Jun Zechen was sitting upright on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

Jun Zechen looked down at her. Today, she was dressed in an extremely gorgeous palace dress. The dress was brightly colored and the style was also very unique.

She was dressed in a way that was more beautiful and captivating than he had ever seen before.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her with great interest.

"Get up, why did you come over?"

Su Jingyao stepped forward and gracefully took the bowl of ginseng soup from Miaoyun, holding it in her fair hands.

"I have come today to express my gratitude. I am very fond of the Zhaochun Palace that Your Majesty has bestowed upon me."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty has been extremely busy these days. I wonder if your health can handle it. I had Miaoyue prepare a bowl of ginseng soup. Would Your Majesty like to try some?"

Su Jingyao slowly placed the bowl in front of Jun Zechen, her glassy eyes shining with anticipation as she stared at him without blinking.

Jun Zechen put down his pen, reached out and took the pen, and took a small sip.

Jun Zechen raised an eyebrow after taking just a small bite.

Miaoyue, who was by her side, was indeed a very good cook.

Jun Zechen was already tired of drinking ginseng soup, so Anshun prepared it for him almost every day.

He wouldn't have drunk it at all if she hadn't brought it to him herself.

After taking a few more sips, Jun Zechen put the bowl down.

Seeing this, Su Jingyao placed the bowl on the plate in Miaoyun's hand and waved to her.

Miaoyun then obediently withdrew, and Anshun, being very sensible, led the palace servants out of the hall.

Jun Zechen reached out and pulled the person onto his lap.

I haven't seen her for quite some time now because I've been busy with state affairs.

"I promised you that I would take you out of the palace after you finished your confinement period, but I never expected that my father would pass away, and I have been too busy to handle anything else."

Jun Zechen's voice was low and slightly guilty, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Now that I have just ascended the throne, I am extremely busy with state affairs and may not have time for you for a while. However, I remember that your birthday is on the third day of the third month. How about I take you out of the palace then?"

As Jun Zechen spoke, he gently stroked Su Jingyao's back, his eyes filled with doting affection.

"Your Majesty, my leaving the palace is a minor matter; your affairs of state are of utmost importance. If my departure affects your plans, I will feel guilty."

Su Jingyao nestled obediently in Jun Zechen's arms, speaking in a gentle and melodious voice, showing great understanding.

"However, I am very happy that Your Majesty has always remembered your promise to me and remembered my birthday."

After she finished speaking, Su Jingyao affectionately nuzzled the man's neck.

After the two embraced tenderly for a while, a hint of conflict gradually appeared on Su Jingyao's face.

She gently bit her lower lip, seemingly hesitating whether she should speak.

Jun Zechen noticed her unusual behavior and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Su Jingyao frowned slightly and asked in a very soft voice, "Is Your Majesty going to the Consort's palace tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen felt a surge of complex emotions.

Does she want to stay tonight?

His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression remained calm, but his voice suddenly carried a hint of coldness.

"How about Yao Yao stays in Qianqing Palace tonight?"

Jun Zechen's large hand continued to gently caress her waist, but his eyes, fixed straight ahead, held a deep, unfathomable meaning.

Su Jingyao frowned, lowered her head, and remained silent for a long time.

Jun Zechen's eyes grew increasingly dark.

Then, she slowly raised her head, her clear black and white eyes filled with sincerity.

"Your Majesty, although I wish to stay with you, but..."

She paused, then continued, "I know that Consort Gui made a mistake before the late Emperor's spirit, which is why she was not made Empress. I dare not have the slightest objection to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager's decision."

"However, Your Majesty and Consort Gui were childhood sweethearts. Now that things have turned out this way, Consort Gui will surely be heartbroken. Your Majesty should..."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Su Jingyao's eyes. "Let's go to Yikun Palace to see my sister."

This scoundrel is testing her.

Oh.

If she says she wants to stay, does he intend to relegate her to the sidelines in his mind?

Upon hearing her words, Jun Zechen felt for a moment as if he were now the emperor, and he became suspicious and paranoid.

But emperors are suspicious, which is something he cannot control.

She remains kind, sensible, and considerate of others' feelings.

"Well then, as Yao Yao says, I will go to Yikun Palace to see the Imperial Concubine today."

Su Jingyao pouted slightly and gave a muffled "Mmm".

She gently rested her head on Jun Zechen's broad shoulders.

A pair of slender hands tightly embraced his waist, as if afraid that he would leave if she let go.

"What, you don't want me to leave again?"

Jun Zechen's voice carried a hint of teasing as he lowered his head slightly, looking tenderly at Su Jingyao in his arms.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's hard to part with her. But Consort Gui is proud, and now that she's only been granted the title of Consort Gui, she must be feeling sad. Your Majesty should comfort her properly."

Her voice was soft and sweet, gently brushing against Jun Zechen's neck, causing a slight tickle.

It made Jun Zechen's heart inexplicably itch.

Jun Zechen's gaze became somewhat intense. He slowly lifted Su Jingyao's chin, wanting to kiss her.

He always found himself unable to control himself when he was with her.

Su Jingyao looked at him, a shy blush gradually spreading across her face.

"Since I am wearing such a gorgeous palace dress today, I have used a slightly brighter lip rouge to adorn my lips."

As Su Jingyao spoke, she gently covered Jun Zechen's lips with her slender, white index finger, stopping him from doing anything further.

Jun Zechen casually moved her hand away, a smile playing on his lips.

"It's alright. Today I want to test if Yao Yao's lip rouge is as sweet as Yao Yao herself."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to kiss her.

Su Jingyao closed her eyes gently, responding to him with a mixture of shyness and initiative.

She didn't know if it was sweet or not, but it was definitely poisonous.

After Jun Zechen became emperor, he seemed to become even more domineering. His passionate kisses were almost too much for her to handle, and she felt weak all over.

Su Jingyao gently pushed him, and Jun Zechen slowly released her.

Su Jingyao then nimbly got off Jun Zechen.

"Your Majesty, your kisses have ruined my makeup. How am I going to get home later?"

Su Jingyao pouted coquettishly, looking extremely charming.

At this moment, some of the lip rouge on her lips fell off, and the originally bright red color turned a bit pink.

However, the area around her lips was tinged with the color of lip rouge, making her look even more alluring.

In addition, her watery eyes were full of the aggrieved look of being bullied, making people want to bully her even more.

However, he really had to go to Yikun Palace tonight to comfort Ling Yue; if she stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold back any longer.

He hasn't touched a woman in the past two weeks.

"Have Miaoyun come in and tidy you up. I will come to see you tomorrow."

Jun Zechen's voice carried a hint of suppressed desire, but it was well concealed beneath his calm demeanor.

After Su Jingyao came out of the Qianqing Palace, she had a triumphant smile on her face.

The reason I sent Jun Zechen to Yikun Palace today was simply to test his heart.

Datura has a slightly hallucinogenic effect; if he were to call out the name of the Imperial Concubine in the Yikun Palace tonight…

Su Jingyao's smile became increasingly meaningful.

After Su Jingyao opened up to Jun Zechen on the Flower Festival and took the initiative according to Jun Zechen's wishes, Su Jingyao would ask Jun Zechen to call her by her nickname every time they met.

Sometimes habits are terrifying.

Will Jun Zechen, in his dazed state tonight, call out Ling Yue's name while she's in bed?

Su Jingyao looked up at the dimly lit sky, truly looking forward to tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the concubines in the palace will go to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. She plans to "accidentally" run into Ling Yue and test her.

She didn't believe that if Jun Zechen really called her name in front of Ling Yue, Ling Yue would still be able to speak to her without changing her expression.

She had also considered whether Jun Zechen would notice anything unusual about his body afterwards.

So didn't you bring him a bowl of ginseng soup? No matter how Jun Zechen checked it, the bowl of ginseng soup was clean.

Could he possibly have guessed it was her lip rouge?
