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

"I have been so busy these past few days that I forgot to send you a new palace maid... I really deserve death, please forgive me, Concubine Rou!"

As Eunuch Liu spoke, he slapped himself hard in the face.

Of course Shen Zhinian knew that people in the palace were used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Eunuch Liu was just afraid of her restoration to favor, so he hurried over to apologize.

If she continued to be like before, unable to even see the emperor, the people in the Imperial Household Department would not take her seriously.

However, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. This has always been the rule in the palace, so Shen Zhinian did not intend to delve into it.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is busy, so it's understandable that you forgot about it for a moment. Why is it like this? Anyway, His Majesty has arranged a new palace maid for me, so please get up quickly, eunuch."

Seeing that Rou Changzai did not rely on the emperor's favor to question him, Eunuch Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Rou Changzai for your magnanimity! My lady is so kind, no wonder His Majesty favors you!"

"In fact, I also look down on palace servants who betray their masters. I will definitely handle this matter properly!"

These words were to assure Shen Zhinian that Chunhua and Xiao Liangzi would have no good days ahead.

Shen Zhinian was too lazy to play along with Eunuch Liu any more, so he waved his hand and sent him away.

Soon, Madam Xiao and a young eunuch arrived at Tingyu Pavilion.

"This old slave/servant pays respects to Miss Rou, may the Miss Rou be blessed!"

The two of them had served in the imperial court before, and were assigned to her by the emperor himself, so Shen Zhinian naturally couldn't treat them as ordinary palace servants. Moreover, Nanny Xiao was her teaching nanny before she entered the palace, so there was a friendship between them.

Shen Zhinian stood up and stepped forward, personally helping the two of them up: "No need to be so polite!"

She looked at the young eunuch and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"My dear Miss Rou, my name is Yuanbao."

Shen Zhinian nodded: "From now on, Tingyu Pavilion will be under your care."

Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao quickly bent down and said "We dare not".

"My lady, you are embarrassing me!"

"His Majesty has ordered that after we enter Tingyu Pavilion, we will be Lady Rou's people and will serve her wholeheartedly. If Lady Rou has any orders in the future, please let me know."

After not sleeping for a whole night, Shen Zhinian was really sleepy now. As usual, she rewarded Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao and asked them to familiarize themselves with the affairs of Tingyu Pavilion first. Then she went back to the inner room to rest.

As for her resurrection and the favor bestowed by His Majesty, Shen Zhinian didn't want to care about how much trouble it had caused in the harem. Anyway, Xiao Mingzi would report any disturbance to her.

I don’t know if it’s because I was too tired, but Shen Zhinian slept particularly deeply this time.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Her throat was a little dry, so she called out, "Handan, water."

Soon someone came in with a cup of water. Shen Zhinian took a sip and smelled the ambergris on the person.

She pretended not to notice anything, and sighed in the direction of the door, her voice full of infinite nostalgia, like a girl looking forward to meeting her lover, but because she couldn't see her lover, she seemed lost and sad.

"It's so late, His Majesty will definitely not come..."

"I don't know if your Majesty has eaten well today because he is so busy with government affairs..."

Nangong Xuanyu was slightly startled.

The other concubines in the palace only cared about whether they could get his favor, but she, when she didn't see him, her first reaction was not to say that he had broken his promise, but to worry that he had not eaten well.

He is the emperor, so why does he need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation? Only those who truly love him to the core will worry about such trivial matters.

Nangong Xuanyu couldn't help but wonder, during the more than a month that he deliberately ignored her, had she been worried about his health every day?

In an instant, his heart softened and he felt guilty. He put down the teacup and hugged Shen Zhinian in his arms: "Your Majesty, I said I would come to see you tonight, and I will definitely come. My beloved concubine, do you really not believe me?"

Seeing Shen Zhinian wake up, Handan lit the light and went out.

"Your Majesty, is it really you?!"

Hearing Nangong Xuanyu's familiar voice and seeing his handsome and majestic face, Shen Zhinian's eyes showed just the right amount of surprise: "I don't disbelieve you, I just thought it was so late..."

"How long have you been waiting in Tingyu Pavilion? Handan and Fuqiu are really stupid. Why didn't they wake me up and just let me wait like this..."

Nangong Xuanyu said gently: "I told you to sleep a little longer and told them not to wake you up."

"Are you hungry? Get up and eat."

Shen Zhinian blushed and said "hmm", then washed and dressed with the help of Handan and Fuqiu, and walked out after finishing her makeup.

Today's dinner is still very rich, far exceeding the usual portion.

Shen Zhinian couldn't help but sigh that if the emperor came to her place to eat more often, she would probably become plump.

"What are you thinking about, my dear? You are so absent-minded."

Shen Zhinian still had that delicate look on her face, and said angrily: "I was thinking, if I eat so much every day, my palace dress will have to be one size bigger..."

Nangong Xuanyu thought that women were truly amazing. Her waist was so thin that it seemed like it could be broken with one hand, and her body was so slender, yet she was still afraid of gaining weight.

Of course, in this big place, this little girl's capital is very proud, and his hand can't hold it at all...

"So what? My beloved concubine is so thin, she should gain some weight. Otherwise, if others see her, they will think that my concubines are being harsh to me."

Shen Zhinian smiled shyly and rolled her eyes in her heart.

Men always like to say that you are not fat, it is okay, eat more and gain some weight. But if a woman really gains weight, I am afraid they will be the first to dislike it.

So, just listen to this kind of words, anyone who believes them is a fool.

After dinner, and after helping the two to bathe, the palace servants, led by Madam Xiao, tactfully withdrew.

Nangong Xuanyu really missed Shen Zhinian after not touching her for more than a month. It was incredible that he didn't think about this at all last night and played chess with her all night.

On the bed, the gauze fluttered, and shadows were vague.

The emperor pinched Shen Zhinian's waist, his eyes bloodshot.

He felt that she might really be the reincarnation of a demon. How could a woman be born with such a charming body that made people want to die on her...

When he was moved, Nangong Xuanyu whispered in Shen Zhinian's ear: "My beloved, please give me a child."

"It doesn't matter if you are a prince or a princess, I will love you!"

Shen Zhinian's white and slender arms climbed onto the emperor's neck, her eyes were blurred and seductive, but her mind was very clear.

She had to become a noble lady before getting pregnant. In this way, she could be promoted to the head of a palace based on the merit of giving birth to a royal heir and be qualified to raise the child personally.

Concubines cannot be promoted without reason. Next month's Emperor's Birthday Festival is her best opportunity!

"Your Majesty, I am willing..."

"Our child will definitely be as good as you..."

This night is still very long.
