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

Shen Zhinian was really hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

She was enjoying the food attentively, but always maintained the demeanor of a lady from an official family and ate very elegantly.

Nangong Xuanyu's gaze unconsciously shifted from the memorial to her.

Somehow, seeing Shen Zhinian eating so contentedly, he suddenly felt a little hungry too. He put down the memorial and sat next to her.

This is not a formal occasion, it's just a boudoir, there is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Shen Zhinian looked at Nangong Xuanyu with a smile: "Didn't your majesty say you were not hungry?"

Nangong Xuanyu reached out and pinched her cheek: "Why, are you afraid that I will snatch it from you? You conscienceless little thing."

Shen Zhinian had a flattering smile on his face.

"Everything I have was given by Your Majesty. How could I have such thoughts? Your Majesty, please try this lotus root meatball. It has the soft and glutinous fragrance of lotus root and is very delicious."

Li Changde was just about to remind His Majesty that he didn't eat lotus roots when he saw Nangong Xuanyu taking over the food from Shen Zhinian with a faint smile in his eyes.

Li Changde was stunned on the spot!

Shen Zhinian noticed his abnormality: "Eunuch Li, what's wrong?"

When Li Changde met Nangong Xuanyu's indifferent gaze, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"No, it's okay..."

He was very tactful. He lowered his head and retreated quietly so as not to disturb His Majesty and Rou Changzai.

The bright candlelight illuminated the hall as bright as day.

The woman was wearing a light gauze dress, her attire was extremely simple, her jet-black long hair was tied up with only a hairpin and fell down like a waterfall, adding a bit of charm to her demeanor.

The hairpin sparkled brightly under the candlelight, and was very eye-catching.

Nangong Xuanyu's gaze lingered on it for a moment: "This emerald hairpin on your head really suits your complexion."

Shen Zhinian raised her hand and touched the hairpin. Her every move was full of charm, with a bit of shyness on her face. She said gratefully: "This is a gift from your majesty. I like it very much. Thank you, your majesty..."

When you receive a gift, you must show that you like it very much and praise it highly. This will make the other person feel a sense of accomplishment and motivate them to give her more gifts.

Even if Nangong Xuanyu is an emperor, the principles of training men are the same.

As expected, listening to Shen Zhinian's praise and seeing her moved expression, Nangong Xuanyu's smile deepened, and a feeling of satisfaction inexplicably arose in his heart.

Next, Shen Zhinian and Nangong Xuanyu ate and chatted.

At first, Nangong Xuanyu just thought that this little girl was quite to his liking. When he was with her, he would always relax unconsciously.

Even though he was an emperor, he felt exhausted watching the intrigues in the court and the women in the harem every day. It was not easy to find a place where he could relax. Even though she was the daughter of a sixth-rank official and didn't have much experience, it didn't matter.

However, who would have known that Shen Zhinian was well-read. Although she was kindhearted, she had her own unique views on everything. Some of her ideas and insights impressed even the emperor Nangong Xuanyu!

Although he didn't care, women's knowledge was still limited, after all, concubines didn't need to take the imperial examination. But the emperor of a generation, after all, liked talented women!

No matter how many women there are in the harem, only Rou Changzai can make him enjoy the pleasure in bed, talk to him about poetry and songs, and make him feel extremely relaxed.

Moreover, she did not have an impressive family background, and her only support was him. Even if he doted on her, she would not threaten the imperial power.

In the end, there was a bit more genuine tenderness in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes when he looked at Shen Zhinian.

"It is my great fortune to have my beloved concubine!"

Shen Zhinian leaned against Nangong Xuanyu's chest and said softly, "It is my honor to meet Your Majesty in this life."

What a blessing! Everything was planned step by step by her while walking on the edge of a knife!

She had to ensure that the talent she displayed could arouse Nangong Xuanyu's interest, but she also had to be vigilant at all times so as not to show her edge too much and make him suspicious and fearful.

He was the only one enjoying it, she was so exhausted!

However, feeling the change in Nangong Xuanyu's attitude towards her, Shen Zhinian felt that it was all worth it!

She deliberately showed a different side of herself in front of the emperor today because women must always retain a bit of mystery in order to keep men interested.

No, in the past, concubines would be reluctant to leave after serving in the bedroom. But when it came to Shen Zhinian, when she said goodbye, the person who was still reluctant to leave was Nangong Xuanyu.

This was the first time that the emperor, who was high above everyone else, had such feelings towards a woman.

His eyes were deep and dark, and in the end he did not ask Shen Zhinian to stay, but still ordered Li Changde to send her back.

Even if this young woman interests him a little, he will not be seduced by her beauty and will not make an exception for anyone.

"I'll take my leave!"

Shen Zhinian was not discouraged. When he turned around, a sly smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

She had already successfully left an impression on the emperor, making him very interested in her. The next step was to make him develop a preference for her without realizing it.

Shen Zhinian believed that sooner or later, Nangong Xuanyu would take the initiative to make an exception for her. And that day would not be too far away!

Nangong Xuanyu never hesitated to reward the woman he loved. He had been thinking about what treasures were suitable for Shen Zhinian.

Li Changde came back to report, and Nangong Xuanyu ordered: "I remember that in my private storehouse, there is a Paraiba pigeon egg ring that was tributed from Brazil. You go find it and send it to Tingyu Pavilion."

Li Changde's face was full of shock!

This is a priceless treasure. When the Brazilian region presented it as tribute to the Great Zhou, many concubines fought for it. Your Majesty refused to give it up, and actually wanted to give it to Concubine Rou?!

Nangong Xuanyu glanced at him calmly: "Why, I can't control you anymore?"

Li Changde broke out in a cold sweat.

"I don't dare! I'll do it right away!"

……

The concubines of lower rank only need to pay respects to the queen after their first night with her. You can sleep a little longer tomorrow to relieve your body aches.

The next day, Shen Zhinian did not get up until the sun was at noon.

Seeing the amazement on Handan and Fuqiu's faces, she asked curiously, "What happened?"

"My Lord, you are awake!"

Handan strode over with a tray in her hand.

"Early this morning, the eunuch from the Yangxin Palace brought His Majesty's reward. At first, I was confused as to why he behaved so low-key, but after seeing the reward, I understood."

"Your Majesty has bestowed such a treasure upon my young lady. If I don't keep a low profile, the concubines in the harem will tear me apart..."
