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

Even so, Your Majesty still says that he doesn’t like Concubine Rou?

I'm afraid that those in charge are confused, while those who are watching can see clearly...

Li Changde silently raised his respect for Concubine Rou to several levels.

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

According to palace rules, concubines of the rank of noble lady and above had to get up early every day and go to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the Empress.

But Jiang Wanning's death dealt a great blow to Queen Jiang. Her health became worse and worse, and she invited an imperial physician to Kunning Palace for the whole night.

Early this morning, an order was issued from Kunning Palace to change the daily greetings of palace concubines to once on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

Shen Zhinian felt that the Queen valued the honor of being the Empress so much that she had asked the concubines to pay respects to her every day even though she was ill. But now she changed the rules, so perhaps her health was really bad.

This is good news for Shen Zhinian. After all, who likes to be inferior to others and pay homage to the queen every day?

After being tormented by the emperor all night last night, she felt sore all over and had no energy. She was about to take a nap, but was pulled up by Handan and Fuqiu.

"My lady, you have been made a noble lady. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will send you rewards and palace maids soon. It won't be too late to rest after you have dealt with this matter."

Shen Zhinian yawned lazily and nodded, "Please do my makeup for me."

"Yes!"

The young lady had been with His Majesty last night, and now they had the opportunity to speak to her in private.

Handan combed Shen Zhinian's hair while smiling and saying, "I believed the rumors in the palace before and thought that the Imperial Concubine was difficult to get along with. I didn't expect that it was her who proposed to make the young lady a noble lady last night. Now it seems that the Imperial Concubine is really a good person!"

Shen Zhinian shook her head helplessly: "Silly girl, be more careful. There are no truly kind people in the palace."

"The Imperial Concubine proposed to promote me, firstly because she wanted to use me as a pawn, and secondly because she wanted to annoy the Empress. She and I are just using each other."

When Queen Jiang fell, she was completely useless and it was time for Concubine Liu to get rid of her as soon as possible.

But when that day comes, whether Concubine Liu can touch her will depend on the abilities of both parties!

Handan woke up as if from a dream: "So that's how it is..."

"My lady, I am stupid. You should give me more advice. Otherwise, if I get into trouble someday, it doesn't matter if I get into trouble myself. But if I implicate you, I will be guilty of a thousand deaths..."

Shen Zhinian patted the back of her hand: "It doesn't matter, just learn slowly. After all, there are many smart people in the palace, but few loyal people."

In the harem, the only people she could trust completely were Handan and Fuqiu. Although Handan was not as smart as Fuqiu, she was loyal to her and listened to her very much, never daring to make a mistake. Just based on these points, she was better than many people.

Madam Xiao came in and saluted properly. Every movement was as standard as if it was measured with a ruler. "My lady, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are here."

Shen Zhinian had finished dressing up, nodded and walked out.

The leading eunuch was still Eunuch Zhao, the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he saw Shen Zhinian, his face was full of eager smiles, and he said flatteringly: "Your servant greets the noble lady Rou, and congratulations on your promotion!"

"This is the reward for the noble lady, as well as all the decorations in the palace. I have brought them to you!"

Shen Zhinian nodded slightly, signaling Fuqiu to register all the things and put them into the warehouse.

The noble lady was served by four ordinary eunuchs and four palace maids, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent another eunuch and a palace maid this time.

"The servant Liu Xu."

"Minion Leo."

"Greetings to the young master, may the young master be blessed!"

Shen Zhinian didn't know their background, but Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao had been in the harem for many years and had served in the emperor's court before, so she felt very relieved to hand the people over to them for management.

As usual, Shen Zhinian rewarded the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the palace maids who served him. Everyone in Tingyu Pavilion was in a joyous mood and kept saying auspicious words.

After Eunuch Zhao thanked him and left with his men, Shen Zhinian thought he could finally catch up on some sleep, but unexpectedly another young eunuch came over in a low-key manner.

Shen Zhinian thought he looked unfamiliar, but Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao recognized him: "My lady, you are from Yangxin Palace."

"Your servant greets the noble lady Rou, may the noble lady be blessed with good fortune!"

The young eunuch bowed respectfully and raised the mother-of-pearl box in his hand: "Your Majesty ordered me to come to Tingyu Pavilion and give this to the young lady."

What kind of treasure is this? It’s so mysterious?

Shen Zhinian thought of the Paraiba ring that the emperor had given her last time. It was so beautiful that she couldn't let it go. She immediately asked Fuqiu to take it with anticipation.

After the box was opened and they saw the treasure inside, Handan and Fuqiu couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed: "This, this is too beautiful!!!"

Even the usually conservative Madam Xiao had a flash of shock in her eyes!

She had served the emperor for many years, so she had naturally heard of the Lingxiao Wumeng Bracelet. How could His Majesty actually give this treasure to Concubine Rou? !

It seems that Concubine Rou means more to His Majesty than she imagined!

Shen Zhinian carefully picked up the Lingxiao Wumeng bracelet, her charming face full of joy, her eyes sparkling as she admired it intently!

This bracelet is translucent, just like its name, and the overall color is like condensed mist. The jade is warm to the touch, and the bracelet is engraved with the scenery of surging sea of ​​clouds, which is delicate and lifelike, and ingenious!

Shen Zhinian put it on her slender wrist. It looked like a dancing ribbon of a fairy in the clouds, blending into the clouds, flowing and beautiful!

It is indeed a rare treasure!

It seems that the emperor took her words last night to heart, and he sent someone to compensate her.

After listening to Nanny Xiao's story about the origin of the Lingxiao Wumeng Bracelet, Shen Zhinian couldn't help but sigh that such a treasure could only be found in the private treasury of the emperor! Outside, even if one was extremely rich and powerful, one couldn't see it.

No wonder so many noble ladies were vying to enter the palace. It was not just for the emperor.

What made Shen Zhinian even happier was the emperor's subconscious love for her, proving that she already had a certain weight in his heart.

Shen Zhinian ordered Fuqiu to reward the young eunuch generously, and said with a smile: "Tell your majesty that I like this gift very much and will treasure it carefully!"

What it means is that you won't wear it outside to show off and bring trouble upon yourself, thus failing the emperor's good intentions.

The young eunuch received the reward and left with many thanks.

"My dear, His Majesty is so kind to you!"

Not only were Handan and Fuqiu's faces filled with joy, but even Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao looked at Shen Zhinian with a little more seriousness in their eyes.

Shen Zhinian raised his hand to admire the beauty of the Lingxiao Wumeng bracelet, and a hint of ambition flashed across the depths of his eyes!

No matter how precious the emperor's reward was, she could not wear it openly given her current status.

Wouldn't it be a shame to let such a beautiful thing be covered in dust?

Therefore, she must have stronger strength and a higher status!
