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

A cold light flashed across Concubine Liu's peach blossom eyes: "I heard that Yangxin Palace asked for water three times last night. Rou Changzai is a vixen! If it weren't for the fact that she made Jiang Wanning suffer, how could this palace tolerate such a vixen!"

"Send someone to deliver some things to Tingyu Pavilion. If she knows what's best for her, I'll let her live a little longer. Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude!"

Cuizhu immediately responded “yes”.

……

"My lady, Eunuch Wei from Yongshou Palace wants to see you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes, and she immediately guessed the purpose of Concubine Liu sending someone to find her.

"Please come in."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wei had a gentle smile on his face: "Your servant greets Miss Rou, and I wish you good luck!"

Although his mind was as clear as a mirror, Shen Zhinian still looked curious and frightened.

"Don't be so polite, sir. I don't know why the imperial concubine asked you to come here..."

Eunuch Wei signaled to the palace servant behind him to bring up the tray.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs recently sent in a few pieces of Yuehua brocade as tribute. The Imperial Concubine said that the young lady was very charming and that Yuehua brocade matched her complexion very well, so she ordered the servants to send two pieces over to make a set of clothes for her."

As expected, Concubine Liu wanted to win her over.

Shen Zhinian quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and showed just the right amount of surprise and gratitude.

"There are so many sisters in the harem, but the imperial concubine is still thinking about me. I am really touched..."

"Please tell the Imperial Concubine that when she is free, I will go to Yongshou Palace in person to express my gratitude!"

Seeing that she was so tactful, Eunuch Wei was very satisfied.

"My lord, I will definitely convey your words to you."

"The Imperial Concubine is still waiting to be served, so I will go back first."

After Eunuch Wei left, Handan and Fuqiu both looked worried.

"This rosy glow is interwoven like a painting. The Moonlight Brocade is indeed worthy of its reputation! But... Young Master, when I was at home, I heard that the Imperial Concubine was always domineering. She suddenly showed kindness to you. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse..."

Shen Zhinian smiled faintly and said, "Although the Imperial Concubine is in a high position, with the eldest princess as her child and the Empress Dowager as her backer, the Empress Dowager is, after all, the first wife of His Majesty. If the Empress strongly recommends Jiang Wanning as the successor, and with the support of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Imperial Concubine is not absolutely sure of winning."

"She has set her sights on the position of queen, so she cannot allow her hands to be stained with blood in public. She must be hoping that someone can help her get rid of Jiang Wanning and keep a check on the other concubines. And I am the most suitable knife!"

Handan's face turned slightly pale.

"My Lord, you are in great danger now..."

"Danger?"

Shen Zhinian smiled contemptuously.

“No, this is exactly the opportunity!”

Fuqiu was a little confused.

"My Lord, what you mean is..."

Shen Zhinian said: "I have no foundation in the harem. If the Queen or Jiang Wanning is determined to get rid of me, I have ways to protect myself, but it will take a lot of effort and may cost me something. If I have the support of the Imperial Concubine, it will be much easier to survive."

Concubine Liu wants to use her as a knife, but she can also do the opposite and borrow Concubine Liu's power!

Fuqiu nodded in sudden realization.

"My slave understands!"

"If you offend both the Empress and the Imperial Concubine at the same time, you will have no chance of survival in the palace. My lady, please pretend to side with one side first. Once you defeat the other side, you will become stronger and you won't have to fear the Imperial Concubine anymore!"

Shen Zhinian pinched her cheek.

"clever."

"Go to the storehouse and pick out some gifts. When the time is right, we will visit Yongshou Palace."

……

What happened in Kunning Palace today has spread throughout the harem.

Given Liu Ruyan's position, although she was not qualified to pay her respects, she also knew about it.

Xun Mei frowned and said, "Rou Chang is the daughter of a minor official, but now she is half a level higher than our young master in terms of position. Who can accept this?"

Xunyou sneered.

"Just a fool."

"Behind Concubine Jiang stands the Empress! Rou Changzai caused her to lose her position as a concubine, how could she let it go? I'm afraid it won't be long before Rou Changzai doesn't even know how she died!"

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "No, Rou Changzai is not stupid, but very smart. Because even if she humbles herself, Jiang Wanning will not let her go. It is better to fight back hard, at least to intimidate those who want to attack her."

Xunmei curled her lips.

"These are just some clever tricks. My lady, you don't have to take Rou Changzai to heart."

"I think His Majesty will definitely turn over the young lady's card tonight! After all, among the newcomers, who can compare with our young lady in terms of appearance?"

There are many beauties in Jiangnan. When Liu Ruyan was still a girl, she was praised as the most beautiful woman in Yangzhou. Of course, she was confident about her appearance. She also felt that the emperor would most likely pick her tonight.

However, on the surface, Liu Ruyan still looked weak and humble.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are not something you and I can guess. Don't talk nonsense."

Xun Mei said with a smile: "Okay, I won't say anything nonsense. It's getting late, I will dress you up again, and when His Majesty turns over your name card, you can go to see His Majesty in your most beautiful appearance!"

Liu Ruyan had a smile on her lips and did not stop her.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

It's time to flip the daily cards again.

Nangong Xuanyu didn't know why, but his eyes fell on Shen Zhinian's green card at the first moment.

He was not a person who was obsessed with lust, but what came to his mind at this moment was the beauty and satisfaction of last night...

There are many beauties in the harem. In terms of beauty, Shen Zhinian is not the best. But her every frown and smile gives people a feeling of being charming to the core. She is only 70% beautiful, but with her charming temperament, just standing there, she makes people feel that she is so beautiful that she can overwhelm the whole country!

Especially after hearing about what happened today, Nangong Xuanyu found it even more interesting that with her status and background, she could make the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion suffer a loss. She raised her hand and turned over Shen Zhinian's green card.

Not to mention the kneeling little eunuch, even Li Changde was very surprised!

Whether in the Qiandi Palace or after ascending the throne, among all the women in the harem, only the Imperial Concubine had ever received such great favor when she entered the palace!

It seems that he was right about her, Rou Changzai's future is indeed limitless!

Li Changde secretly thought to himself that he should be more polite to Rou Changzai in the future.

Although it was a bit against the rules to turn over the name card of the same concubine for two consecutive nights, but in the palace, His Majesty is the most important rule! He was not tired of living, so of course he would not say anything to stop it.

Li Changde immediately sent someone to Tingyu Pavilion to convey his imperial decree.

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

Not only the other people in the harem, but even Shen Zhinian felt that the emperor would definitely summon Liu Ruyan to sleep with him tonight.

She walked to the bronze mirror and took off the jewelry on her head.

"Handan, remove my makeup for me and get ready for bed."

Who knew that at this moment——
