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

Nangong Xuanyu is different from all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is an extremely ambitious emperor who cannot tolerate the power falling into the hands of others.

This can be seen from the fact that in his previous life, he first dealt with the Duke Zhenguo Mansion and then turned his attention to the Duke Dingguo Mansion.

Although the time is not yet ripe and he needs to give face to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he cannot allow the Jiang family to have another queen, and naturally he will not allow Jiang Wanning to become so powerful in the harem.

The facts were just as Shen Zhinian had guessed.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Nangong Xuanyu was well aware of the tactics used in the harem. Looking at the chicken soup brought in by the eunuch, how could he not understand what Jiang Wanning was planning?

Queen Jiang is seriously ill, and Concubine Liu is extremely powerful in the harem. He needs to support the people of the Zhenguo Mansion and compete with the Dingguo Mansion to maintain balance. But this does not mean that Nangong Xuanyu will let others influence his mind.

He didn't like restless women. Jiang Wanning's arrogance made the emperor's eyes flash with impatience.

"There are so many imperial chefs in the palace. Do I still need my concubines to worry about my diet? Let her go back."

"Yes."

Li Changde, the eunuch in charge of the imperial court, knew that the emperor's temper was always unpredictable. He had seen too many concubines who were favored today and lost themselves in love, but tomorrow they angered the emperor for a small matter and were completely despised.

Of course, there are many examples of women who have fallen out of favor and have once again caught the emperor's eye. A truly smart palace maid would never offend someone completely. When facing Jiang Wanning, Li Changde's attitude was still polite.

"Madam Jiang, His Majesty is still reviewing memorials and cannot spare the time to enjoy your kindness. Please go back first."

Jiang Wanning bit her lip, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to act recklessly in the Yangxin Palace, so she could only leave angrily.

Then, she coldly ordered the maid beside her: "Pay attention to me, whose card His Majesty has turned over tonight!"

She needs to know that the reason His Majesty doesn't see her is because he has been bewitched by some little bitch!

"Slave, you obey!"

……

Several young eunuchs knelt in front of the dragon table, holding trays filled with green cards.

Li Changde bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."

According to convention, the names of newcomers were placed in front. Nangong Xuanyu put down the memorial and looked around. He had no impression of most of these new women in the palace.

I only remember... on the day of the palace selection, there was a concubine who was particularly different. She was born with a charming figure, but she had no idea of ​​her advantages and dressed very pure. Little did she know that the more serious her expression was, the more attractive she was...

When the Queen discussed with him and drafted the position of the new bride, he only had an impression of her and thought that she was extremely gentle and charming.

He wanted to give her the title "Mei" at the time, but he felt that this word was too explicit and he was afraid that the old-fashioned people in the previous dynasty would think that he was deceived by beauty. In the end, he decided on the word "Rou".

She was also the only one among the selected beauties who was given a title by him.

Nangong Xuanyu raised his hand and turned over the green card with the words "Rou Da Ying" written on it.

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

The young eunuch came over with a respectful look on his face and said, "This servant greets Miss Rou!"

"Congratulations, Miss Rou. His Majesty has chosen you tonight! Please get ready. The Fengluan Chunen Carriage will be here to take you to the Yangxin Palace in a little while!"

Shen Zhinian ordered people to reward the young eunuch.

All the palace servants in Tingyu Pavilion were very excited.

"Congratulations, my lady! Congratulations, my lady!"

Chunhua and Qiuyue were both happy and nervous, because only if the young master had a good future could they have a better future.

But Fuqiu and Handan were brought by the young master from home. They were valued by the young master, and even Xiao Mingzi caught the young master's eye. Only they were treated as outsiders. In the future, they must work harder to perform well in order to climb up!

Although Shen Zhinian couldn't be 100% sure that the emperor would pick her card tonight, she was pretty sure about it.

"Handan, help me dress up."

Handan took out the most gorgeous jewelry from Shen Zhinian's dressing table with a look of joy.

"Don't worry, my lady. I will dress you up beautifully so that His Majesty will not be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you!"

Shen Zhinian shook her head and said, "No, dress plainly for me and don't put too much makeup on your face."

First, on the day of the palace selection, she impressed the emperor with her pure dress. Tonight is such an important day, so she naturally cannot go against her will.

The second is that the concubines had to bathe and change clothes before serving the emperor in the night. Although the maids would help them touch up their makeup, the thick rouge and powder on their faces did not look good after all.

Handan didn't understand all the twists and turns, she just knew that she had to listen to the young master in everything.

"Yes!"

This news has spread throughout the harem. There is no telling how many people are jealous of Shen Zhinian, openly or secretly.

Concubine Jiang is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and has a noble status, so it is normal that she is ranked ahead of them.

But Rou promised to be the daughter of a sixth-rank official. In the past, she didn't even have the qualifications to appear in front of them. On what basis? !

Especially Jiang Wanning, after hearing the palace maid's report of the news, she tore her handkerchiefs into pieces!

"Your Majesty rejected me, but turned around to favor a concubine who is not worthy of the stage? Everyone in the palace is laughing at me! It's all because of that bitch. I will remember her!"

Shen Zhinian knew nothing about these things, or didn't care at all.

From the moment one decides to enter the palace, vying for favor is inevitable. Since one has to vie for favor, how can one avoid being envied?

there is always a solution to a problem!

After finishing her makeup, she got on the Fengluan Chun'en carriage and slowly went to the Yangxin Palace.

Sun Changzai stood at the door and watched from afar, the envy in her eyes almost overflowing.

She had only served the emperor in his residence a few times. After the emperor ascended the throne, he never turned over her name card, let alone came to Lanyuexuan to see her.

"Although I am a frequent visitor, I have never known what it feels like to sit in the Phoenix Spring En Car...Rou Da Ying is really a blessing!"

"Yes, if she has no potential, why should I spend so much effort to befriend her?"

At the end of her speech, there was a hint of uncontrollable jealousy in Sun Changzai's tone.

Zhu Er hurriedly comforted her, "My lady, it's a good thing that Rou agreed to be favored! This way, when His Majesty comes to Zhongcui Palace in the future, you will have hope!"

Sun Changzai nodded, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"You're right. Even if all the women in the palace are jealous of Rou's promise, I still want her to be well!"

At least, that was the case before she gained the emperor's favor and trampled upon Rou Ying.

……

Shen Zhinian first went to the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where she was helped by palace servants to take a bath. Then she changed into a gauze dress for sleeping with the emperor before waiting on the bed in the main hall.

Compared to other concubines who were nervous and anxious when they first slept with the emperor, Shen Zhinian was very calm. After all, the emperor had many concubines, and her soul was not a blank slate.
