Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne
Chapter 29 The Type the Emperor Really Likes
Fuqiu strode in from outside and said in surprise, "My lady, the eunuch from the Yangxin Palace is here and said that His Majesty has picked your name card again tonight!"
Everyone was very happy and kept saying congratulations. After all, the more favored the young lady was, the better the future would be for those who served her!
A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes. She didn't expect that the emperor would favor her for two consecutive nights. It seemed that she had left a very good impression on the emperor.
She was still dressed simply tonight, except that she wore an emerald hairpin on her head that was given to her by Nangong Xuanyu.
After a familiar process, Shen Zhinian got on the Fengluan Chunen carriage again and headed for the Yangxin Palace.
After the bitterness, Sun Chang was left with only joy and anticipation in her heart.
It seems that His Majesty will come to Zhongcui Palace soon, and then her chance will come!
……
Yilan Pavilion.
When Liu Ruyan heard the news, her face still had a gentle and weak expression, but her eyes darkened slightly.
Xun Mei's face was filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "All the newcomers to the palace are waiting for His Majesty's favor. Concubine Jiang is the Empress's sister, and she only has one night of favor. What kind of person is Concubine Rou? She actually occupied His Majesty's two nights!"
"If it weren't for her, His Majesty would have definitely turned over the young lady's card tonight. It was she who stole the young lady's favor!"
Looking for deep and dark eyes.
"My young lady, there is only one emperor, but there are so many newcomers. Ruo Rou Chang Zai has taken most of the favor, leaving very little for you..."
Liu Ruyan quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Keep calm. With such great favor, there are countless people in the harem who are jealous of Rou Changzai. There is no need for us to take action now."
"But... you're right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Among the newcomers, the only one who can compete with me is Rou Changzai. If she falls..."
"Father has arranged some people for me in the palace. You can pass them on secretly..."
Xunyou listened, and a sinister arc gradually appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Yes, little master!"
……
Chuxiu Palace.
Even if the queen still let Jiang Wanning live in the main palace, it would not change the fact that she was demoted. She hated Shen Zhinian to the core, and the sound of porcelain breaking in the bedroom did not stop tonight.
"Bitch! Rou Changzai, that bitch, has caused me so much pain, yet she is being picked by His Majesty again! Why?!"
"I know, she is just jealous that I am the first among the newcomers to sleep with him, so she deliberately plotted against me so that she could snatch the favor of His Majesty!"
"This bitch is so scheming, I want her dead!!! I want Rou Changzai to die!!!"
The maid Xuezhu kept trying to dissuade him, "Young lady, calm down! The Queen said that Concubine Rou is in favor. If you touch her now, it will definitely attract His Majesty's attention, and the loss will outweigh the gain. It would be better to wait until His Majesty's attention is attracted by other newcomers, and then you can deal with her!"
Jiang Wanning was unwilling to accept this and gritted her teeth and said, "The knife didn't fall on my eldest sister, so of course she doesn't feel any pain!"
"Don't think I don't know. My eldest sister just feels that I was sent by the family to replace her, so she is unhappy and doesn't want me to thrive in the harem!"
"Otherwise, she is the dignified Queen Mother. If she really wants to protect me, how could a mere concubine put herself above me?! My eldest sister is clearly using Concubine Rou to warn me, to let me know that if I want to live a good life in the harem, I must keep my tail between my legs in front of her..."
Xuezhu was so scared that her face turned pale and she fell to her knees with a plop.
"My lady, just keep these words in your heart, and don't say them out loud! Otherwise, once the Queen hears them..."
Jiang Wanning snorted coldly.
"That's what my eldest sister thinks, and you won't let me say it?"
But... after all, she is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo who was carefully nurtured. Even if her temper has become a little arrogant due to being spoiled, she is not a fool.
Jiang Wanning understood that if she wanted to ascend to the throne, she could not do without the support and help of Queen Jiang.
Since the elder sister is already warning her, she should just be quiet for now. As long as the elder sister is satisfied, all the women in the harem will have to bow down to her! It will be easy to kill a concubine by then!
……
Shen Zhinian could imagine that since the emperor had picked her name for two consecutive nights, many women in the harem would be jealous of her and wish she were dead.
But she was not afraid. Since she was competing for favor, being envied was inevitable. If she was like Shen Nanqiao in her previous life, always pretending to be as indifferent as a chrysanthemum and not competing, she would be bullied by everyone.
Arriving at the Yangxin Palace, I didn't have to wait long tonight. Nangong Xuanyu, who had just taken a bath and was wearing a bright yellow robe, strode in.
He was very tall, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. His facial features were three-dimensional, his aura was fierce, and he carried the majesty of an emperor who could not be offended.
In all his past and present lives, Shen Zhinian had never seen a man more handsome than Nangong Xuanyu. Even without the blessing of an emperor, just based on his immortal-like appearance, he would probably be the dream lover of many women.
No wonder there are so many concubines in the harem who love him to death. But she is not one of them. What she desires is only status and power!
"Your Majesty, your concubine!"
Shen Zhinian stood up and bowed gracefully, her voice as sweet as an oriole's chirping, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender neck.
Nangong Xuanyu's gaze fell on it, his eyes deepened, he took her hand and walked to the bed and sat down.
"I heard that you, by your own efforts, caused Concubine Jiang to be demoted to Concubine Jiang today. My beloved concubine is very bold. She even dares to offend the Queen's sister."
The emperor's voice was smiling and he seemed to be in a good mood.
First, he didn't want to see the Jiang family become too powerful, and he was quite satisfied with this result.
Secondly, all the women in the harem were the same to the emperor. He would favor those who made him happy. Nangong Xuanyu found it quite fresh that Shen Zhinian, a little concubine, could make the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo embarrassed.
With the experience of the previous life, Shen Zhinian knew that Nangong Xuanyu had gone through a brutal struggle for succession before he ascended to the throne. There were many times when he was young, he was almost killed by the concubines in the harem.
Therefore, what he really likes deep down in his heart is a woman with pure thoughts and simple temperament.
A smart and resourceful concubine might be appreciated and favored by Nangong Xuanyu, but she would never be loved by him sincerely.
And with Shen Zhinian's family background, if she wants to reach that position, she must become the person that Nangong Xuanyu truly holds in his heart!
These thoughts flashed through Shen Zhinian's mind, and her eyes instantly turned red, with a hint of subtle grievance and uneasy guilt.
"Your Majesty, do you know? No one has ever been as kind to me as you are..."
