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

Handan and Fuqiu had never seen many treasures in their lives, so it was normal for them to be amazed. But even the eunuch of the Yangxin Palace had put in so much thought, which showed that it was a really rare thing.

Shen Zhinian's interest was completely piqued and he opened the box.

The next second, her charming eyes were filled with undisguised amazement!

In the exquisite mother-of-pearl box lies a gem ring the size of a pigeon egg. It looks like a clear lake, the aqua blue light is very bright, with neon fire, giving people a strong visual impact!

The unique neon blue light, like the endless blue waves rippling in the ocean, is embedded on the ring wall, full of gleams!

"Wow--"

Even though they had seen it during the acceptance inspection, Handan and Fuqiu still showed expressions of amazement once again!

"My lady, I have never seen such a beautiful gem. It is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words when made into a ring..."

"The gemstone on this ring seems to be different from those worn by other ladies?"

In his previous life, Shen Zhinian had seen this kind of gem from a foreign merchant, but its color, clarity and cut were far inferior to the one given by the emperor.

"This is the blue Paraiba produced by a Brazilian tribe. It should be a tribute, so it is naturally not easy to see."

Handan Yuyou said proudly: "My young lady, His Majesty loves you too much. Not only has he given you a unique favor, but he has also rewarded you with such a tribute!"

"And when the eunuch from the Yangxin Palace came over, he said that His Majesty had specifically told you not to wake you up to express your gratitude and to let you sleep a little longer. His Majesty is so kind to you!"

Shen Zhinian put the ring on her slender middle finger, admired its bright light in the sun, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Which woman doesn’t like sparkling and beautiful jewelry? Her mood is beautiful!

All the sweet words are empty, only the real rewards are real. She was very satisfied with the gift from the emperor! It was worth her praising him last night, his love for her!

Shen Zhinian couldn't help but think of this time in her previous life, when she married into the Lu family. In order to support the whole family, she even pawned her only gold hairpin, let alone wear a priceless ring.

She really had to thank Shen Nanqiao for arranging her marriage as soon as she was reborn, otherwise how could she have had such enormous wealth?

I just don’t know how Shen Nanqiao is doing in the Lu family now, and whether he regrets it?

"Fuqiu, send someone to find out how my eldest sister is living in the Lu family now."

Although Fuqiu didn't know why the young lady suddenly mentioned the eldest lady, she still said respectfully, "Yes."

Shen Zhinian took off the ring on her hand and asked Fuqiu to keep it. After washing up, she sat down in front of the dressing table.

Handan asked in confusion: "My lady, that ring is so beautiful, and it is a gift from His Majesty, why don't you wear it?"

Shen Zhinian chuckled and said, "You also understand that if the concubines in the harem knew about this, they would be so jealous that they would want to tear me apart. Since His Majesty sent it to me in a low-key manner, I naturally cannot let him down. It's fine to wear it in the bedroom, but it's not suitable to wear it outside to show off."

At least, not until she has a high status.

Fuqiu nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he always does things as he pleases. But this time he took my lady's situation into consideration, which shows that he really cares about her!"

Shen Zhinian also understood this truth and couldn't help but sigh. No wonder there were so many women in the harem. They knew that the consequence of loving the emperor would be death, but they still chose to throw themselves into the fire.

Because the emperor, who was as handsome as a banished immortal, gave her unprecedented and unparalleled favor, how many women could resist it?

Even someone as sober as Shen Zhinian felt somewhat touched.

But no matter how touched she is, she will always guard her heart and will never fall in love with the almighty emperor!

Handan was dressing up Shen Zhinian and telling her what Xiao Mingzi had found out.

"My lady, when the concubines went to pay their respects to the Empress today, although you were not there, you were still the focus of Kunning Palace! It is said that only the Imperial Concubine was favored by His Majesty for two consecutive days in the Qiandi Residence. No one in the harem has ever been so favored! Many people are so angry when they mention you..."

They were happy for the young lady, but at the same time they were worried that she would be too favored, be envied, and suffer unexpected disasters.

Shen Zhinian smiled faintly.

"Once you enter the palace, you have to compete for favor based on your own abilities."

"I don't know about the others, but Liu Ruyan must really hate me... After all, everyone in the palace thought that she would be the next one to be favored, but I stood in her way."

Fuqiu heard the hidden meaning in her words: "My lady, what do you mean?"

"Liu Ruyan is extremely cunning and cruel. I don't think she will just let it go. Send someone to secretly watch Yilan Pavilion and pay attention to the movements there."

"Yes!"

Shen Zhinian looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror and ordered, "I will go to Yongshou Palace to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine this afternoon. Dress up plainly for me."

Concubine Liu was extremely jealous, and she was in great favor. Even if the other party wanted to win her over, she would not be able to control her jealousy and would definitely give her a warning. If she dressed up to be conspicuous, wouldn't she be walking into Concubine Liu's trap?

"The servant understands."

As expected, when Shen Zhinian arrived at Yongshou Palace in the afternoon, Cuizhu said apologetically, "My Lady Rou, the Imperial Concubine has been managing the six palaces and has been very tired recently. The Imperial Concubine is still taking a nap, and as a servant, I cannot disturb her. I hope you will forgive me."

Shen Zhinian had already been mentally prepared.

"It's okay. The Imperial Concubine is working hard, we must not wake her up, I'll just wait."

"Thank you for your understanding, Master Rou!"

Cuizhu's attitude was very polite, but she had no intention of letting Shen Zhinian in to wait while drinking tea. Instead, she left her outside.

It is already mid-September, and although the sun is not as scorching as before, the weather is still hot and humid. It is not pleasant to stand for a long time in high heel shoes.

Handan was a little anxious. Wasn't Concubine Liu deliberately torturing the young lady?

Shen Zhinian, however, looked calm.

Because if Concubine Liu wanted to punish her, she would definitely take this opportunity to hit her hard! But the other party's purpose was to win her over. If she left it alone for too long, it would not be a win-over, but an enemy.

Therefore, no matter how jealous Concubine Liu was, she could only swallow her anger and comfort Shen Zhinian.

Cuizhu was inside advising, "Madam, now is the time to hire someone. Since we want to win over Concubine Rou, we must not embarrass her."

Concubine Liu's eyes were filled with jealousy.

"Haven't you heard that everyone in the palace is saying that Concubine Rou's favor is comparable to mine! Will it not be long before she climbs over me?!"

"My queen, you are the daughter of the Duke Dingguo, and you are of noble status. His Majesty is only interested in Concubine Rou for a short time. Our real opponents are Concubine Jiang and the Queen. You must not act on your anger for a short time..."
