Nangong Xuanyu's brows softened a little, and he suddenly thought of the way Shen Zhinian ate last night.

Forget it. That girl has a gentle and innocent character. If he doesn't appreciate her feelings, she will be sad if she knows it.

"Send it up."

"Yes!"

He didn't feel it when he was busy with government affairs, but when he relaxed and tasted the sweet black chicken soup, Nangong Xuanyu actually felt a little hungry.

"Pass the meal around."

"Slave, you obey!"

Li Changde finally breathed a sigh of relief. It had to be Rou Changzai again!

After dinner, the eunuch from the Jingshifang came up with a tray as usual and said, "Your Majesty, please turn over the cards!"

After dealing with government affairs in an expedited manner for a day, Nangong Xuanyu felt a little tired. He had no interest in favoring his concubines and just wanted to relax.

Glancing at the empty bowl of soup beside him, the emperor couldn't help but sigh that when he was with that little girl, his mood would always become relaxed unconsciously.

"Go to Tingyu Pavilion."

The eunuch in the Jingshifang hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the new concubines are still waiting for you to pick them. You have favored Rou Changzai for two consecutive nights, and tonight you are favoring Rou Changzai again. This is against the rules..."

Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything, but his whole body exuded the majesty of an emperor, which made people sweat coldly!

Li Changde quickly scolded: "In the palace, the emperor is the most important rule! You ignorant dog slave, get out of here!"

The young eunuch was so frightened that his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He quickly bent down and retreated.

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

Seeing Handan still looking forward to it, Shen Zhinian shook his head and smiled.

"Your Highness is the most favored concubine in the six palaces, but the highest record is that she was only favored for two consecutive nights. Moreover, there are so many new people waiting behind. Your Majesty will never turn over my card again tonight, so you should rest early."

But who knows——

Nangong Xuanyu did not turn over her card tonight, but he will come to Tingyu Pavilion in person!

When the palace people received the news from the eunuch in the Yangxin Palace, they couldn't believe it. After they realized what was happening, they were all filled with ecstasy!!!

Being favored by His Majesty for three consecutive nights, I broke the record of the harem. What a great favor!!!

After the emperor ascended the throne, he had never stepped into the gate of Zhongcui Palace. Everyone was busy preparing to welcome him!

When Sun Changzai heard the news from Lan Yue Xuan in the right hall, she burst into tears of joy: "I have waited for so long, and finally got the chance to see the emperor! Quick! Zhu'er, take out my most gorgeous jewelry and most beautiful clothes, and dress me up!"

She knew that His Majesty came tonight for Rou Changzai and was unlikely to favor her. Moreover, Rou Changzai still had value, so she was not prepared to make enemies with her at this time.

Sun Changzai only hopes to leave an impression on the emperor tonight. Maybe she can intercept him the next time he comes to see Rou Changzai!

Zhu'er was also very happy. The young lady finally got hope: "Yes!"

In the left hall, Handan also took out Shen Zhinian's dressing box.

"My lady, His Majesty should be here soon. I will dress you up!"

Shen Zhinian smiled faintly: "No, don't wear any jewelry, the plainer the better."

"what?"

Handan asked in confusion, "My lady, why? Didn't you say that you should change your clothes frequently to keep your presence fresh in His Majesty's mind? But you were dressed very plainly during the two times you went to bed with him. Do you want to do the same today?"

"Have you forgotten that I was about to go to bed? The more I wash off my makeup, the more I can see how much surprise your Majesty's sudden visit brought me. And..."

Shen Zhinian glanced towards the hall on the right and smiled mysteriously.

"Someone will be dressing up tonight, so we won't join in the fun."

The emperor came to see her, but Concubine Sun dressed up to overshadow him, which only displeased the emperor and made him pity her even more.

Sun Changyi is intent on using her as a stepping stone, but he doesn't know if he can bear the consequences of being retaliated against.

Of course, Shen Zhinian would not be the villain in public. She wanted Sun Changzai to be used by her and be grateful to her!

Handan wanted to ask if the young lady would be overshadowed by Sun Changzai. But when she thought of Sun Changzai's appearance, which was totally incomparable to the young lady's, she silently swallowed the words on her lips.

Soon, the holy carriage arrived.

Everyone in the palace bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"Your servant greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

Nangong Xuanyu's gaze fell on Shen Zhinian for the first time.

The woman's dress was different from the previous two times they met.

She was wearing a moon-white dress, with no makeup on her face, but her complexion was like the morning glow reflecting the snow. Her long jet-black hair was scattered, without a single pearl or jade on her head, and it was obvious that she had already removed her makeup and was ready to go to bed. With such a natural and unadorned look, bathing in the moonlight, she looked like a cool and pure fairy concubine!

Nangong Xuanyu's eyes lit up, and he personally stepped forward to help Shen Zhinian up: "My beloved concubine, there is no need to be so polite!"

Sun Changzai couldn't remember how long it had been since she last saw His Majesty. She never knew that His Majesty had such a gentle side.

She couldn't help but feel jealous, and she longed for His Majesty to see her. She took the initiative to step forward and said, "I am the grandson of Lanyuexuan, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Nangong Xuanyu didn't even remember that there was such a person in the palace.

He grew up in the deep palace. Seeing Sun Changzai dressed so ostentatiously and took the initiative to come to talk to him, he naturally understood that she was trying to win his favor.

The emperor is passionate and ruthless, and his preferences are sometimes very simple. If Sun Changzai is a rare beauty, he will be amazed when he sees her. Even if he doesn't favor her tonight, he will feel a sense of brightness and remember her in his heart.

Unfortunately, Sun Changzai's appearance was only pretty, and she was not noticeable in the harem full of beauties. In Nangong Xuanyu's heart, there was only the displeasure of not disturbing her.

"I came to Zhongcui Palace to see Concubine Rou. Why are you coming over here with such eager eyes?"

Sun Changzai didn't expect that after waiting so long to see His Majesty, His Majesty would treat her like this.

"My concubine... My concubine..."

She was sad and scared and didn't know what to do.

In the end, it was Shen Zhinian who came to the rescue in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, Sister Sun must have not seen you for a long time and misses you too much. Please don't be so harsh to her..."

Sun Changzai clearly wanted to share her affection, but she didn't notice anything and foolishly spoke for him. Nangong Xuanyu really didn't know whether to say she was stupid or too naive.

For Shen Zhinian's sake, Nangong Xuanyu softened his tone a bit: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Sun Changzai felt warm in her heart and said with emotion: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty..."

Looking at the backs of the two people entering Tingyu Pavilion, her mood became complicated again.
