Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Shen Zhinian smiled.

"Princess An has been serving His Majesty in the palace, and has worked so hard for so many years to be promoted to the position of concubine. A newcomer who just entered the palace is on an equal footing with her after serving the emperor in bed. Naturally, she is not happy."

"This is the benefit that comes from a top family background..."

Not to mention the concubines in the palace, even Shen Zhinian was a little envious of Jiang Wanning.

However, a person cannot decide his or her own birth, but he or she can change how far he or she will go in the future.

Shen Zhinian believed that in her past and present lives, no matter how her fate changed, she would be able to reach a high position step by step!

Handan sighed, "Although both are concubines, Concubine Xue didn't react as strongly as Concubine An. People in the palace say that she has always been aloof and cold. She never gets close to any concubine, and she has never made things difficult for anyone."

Shen Zhinian lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

"Either Xuepin is truly aloof and self-protective, or she is lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to seek greater benefits for herself."

Fuqiu asked curiously, "My lady, then which type do you think Concubine Xue is?"

Shen Zhinian thought back to her past life, when the women around the emperor were like flowers, some bloomed and some withered. Only Concubine Xue was an exception, she did not have the emperor's overwhelming favor, but she was never forgotten by the emperor.

"No matter which one it is, Concubine Xue is a rare smart person in the palace."

As long as the other party does not come to murder her, Shen Zhinian will not take the initiative to provoke him.

Handan nodded and continued, "My lady, you don't know that when Concubine Jiang came to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the Empress today, she was extremely arrogant and didn't take anyone else seriously at all. She either mocked this person for being old and ugly, or mocked that person for not even being able to see His Majesty."

"I heard that many concubines' faces turned green, but they still chose to endure..."

Shen Zhinian didn't find it strange.

"Jiang Concubine has a proud family background, has the support of the Queen in the harem, and is favored by the Emperor, so she naturally has the capital to be arrogant."

But... when the sky is wild, it will rain; when people are wild, they will suffer misfortune. With Jiang Wanning's temper, she will fall into trouble sooner or later!

"What was Concubine Liu's reaction?"

She has always been arrogant and domineering. Would she tolerate Jiang Wanning being so arrogant in front of her?

Handan shook her head.

"I heard that the Imperial Concubine is not making any movement."

Shen Zhinian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"It seems that this is already brewing..."

"Give orders to everyone in Tingyu Pavilion to be careful these few days! Otherwise, anything might happen and affect us."

Fuqiu immediately responded “yes”.

After listening to the gossip, Shen Zhinian looked at Handan.

"How come I didn't know before that you are so well-informed. Where did you hear all this?"

Handan covered her mouth and smiled.

"My lady, I just entered the palace like you. No matter how capable I am, I can't get such detailed information about the palace. This is all Xiao Mingzi's credit."

"Oh?"

There was some interest in Shen Zhinian's eyes.

"Send Xiao Mingzi in."

Soon, Xiao Mingzi lowered his head and walked into the inner room: "Your servant greets the young master, and I wish you good luck!"

"Get up."

"I heard from Handan that the news circulating in the palace today was all obtained by you. Being in the harem, the most important thing is to be well-informed. You did a good job on this matter, and you deserve a reward!"

Handan immediately handed over a purse.

Xiao Mingzi didn't answer and said in a panic, "Serving the young master is my duty, I dare not take credit for it..."

Shen Zhinian's voice carried a hint of majesty.

"I said it on the first day I entered the palace. Tingyu Pavilion cannot tolerate servants who are half-hearted, but it will not treat any meritorious official unfairly. You should take the things you have done and used as rewards."

With this example, whether it is Xiao Mingzi or others, they will work harder in the future.

"Thank you for the reward, my lord!"

He finally had the chance to catch the young lady's eye, so of course he had to seize it!

Xiao Mingzi took the purse, with a big smile on his face, and said: "To be honest with you, my lady, I entered the palace when I was five years old. I don't have any other skills, but I have some old friends in the palace."

"My lady, please forgive me for laughing at you. I am not bragging. Among the palace servants, I have a nickname of 'Busy-Piercing'. There is nothing in the harem that I cannot find out, as long as it is not top secret..."

Few palace servants dared to brag in front of their masters. Since Xiao Mingzi dared to say so, it was obvious that he had some real skills.

Shen Zhinian said: "In this case, you will be the ears and eyes of Tingyu Pavilion outside from now on. As long as you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly."

She had already checked the background of the three people assigned to Tingyu Pavilion, and it seemed that there was no problem.

But having said that, Shen Zhinian would never trust anyone easily.

Xiao Mingzi immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"I am willing to serve you till my death!"

……

It was night in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Wanning had tasted the benefits brought by the emperor's favor, and she couldn't help but have more ambitions. Even if she couldn't monopolize the emperor, she would still be the best and ahead of other newcomers!

Therefore, Jiang Wanning personally cooked a bowl of chicken soup, and then calculated the time and personally delivered it to the Yangxin Palace.

When the whole palace heard the news, they all felt that with her family background and the favor His Majesty showed her, Jiang Wanning would definitely be able to continue serving His Majesty tonight.

Many people envied her, and the newcomers were even more resentful!

The longer Jiang Wanning occupied His Majesty, the later they would be favored by His Majesty. There were so many women in the harem, if it dragged on like this, maybe one day His Majesty would forget about them...

But no one could do anything to Jiang Wanning, so they could only grit their teeth in secret.

Shen Zhinian remained calm after hearing the news Xiao Mingzi had inquired about.

She took off her clothes, lay on the beauty couch, and let Handan and Fuqiu massage her body with flower essential oils.

Although beauty alone will not get you far in the harem, it has to be admitted that beauty is the ticket for all women to compete for the emperor's favor.

In order to reach the position second only to the emperor and above everyone else, she must of course work hard!

Sensing that Handan was distracted, Shen Zhinian chuckled and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, His Majesty will not favor Concubine Jiang again tonight, so don't panic."

Fuqiu asked curiously, "My lord, how do you know?"

Handan came back to her senses, looking proud of herself.

"Of course it's because our young lady is so charming that His Majesty has bestowed her with a title. How could she lose to Concubine Jiang? Maybe His Majesty is obsessed with our young lady and will definitely turn over our young lady's name card tonight!"

Shen Zhinian shook his head and laughed.

"I, your young master, am not so conceited as to be that level."

If she thinks that she has such an important position in the emperor's heart just because of a title, then she will be close to death.

The reason why Shen Zhinian was so sure was because...
