At this moment, Shen Zhinian's eyes no longer had the deep affection that he had just shown until death, only indifference.

Some time ago, the emperor said that he would take her out of the palace to play after the birthday celebration. But half a month has passed since the birthday celebration, and he has never mentioned it again.

Did you forget?

The air pressure around Shen Zhinian became increasingly low.

If she forgets, she will have to remind her later.

One reason is that after entering the palace, a concubine has only a few opportunities to go out, and she doesn't want to miss this rare experience.

Second, if the emperor gets used to breaking his promises to her, he will no longer take his promises to her seriously over time. Men need to be disciplined, and she can't let Nangong Xuanyu start this bad example.

Hearing the footsteps, Shen Zhinian smiled again, his eyes were full of smiles, and his eyes were full of tears: "Your Majesty..."

Nangong Xuanyu felt his throat tighten, his eyes turned darker, and he pinched Shen Zhinian's cheek: "Come in, make room for me."

Shen Zhinian blushed and stepped back, saying coquettishly, "Your Majesty is so overbearing. I just got to sleep in the warm place, and you took it away."

"Really? Then I will warm her up nicely for her."

Nangong Xuanyu turned over and pressed on Shen Zhinian. His big hands became naughty, causing her to scream.

"His Majesty……"

The room is full of spring light and dim shadows.

It was not until Tingyu Pavilion asked for water three times that the noise stopped.

Shen Zhinian was so tired that his legs were sore and he didn't want to move at all.

The emperor brushed away the sweaty hair from her forehead, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Are you tired, Nian Nian? But I still want to continue, what should I do?"

Shen Zhinian almost cried: "Your Majesty, I really don't want it anymore..."

Nangong Xuanyu tapped her nose and said, "You asked for it. Who told you to seduce me?"

Shen Zhinian said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you are so unreasonable. I didn't do anything, how, how could I seduce you..."

Nangong Xuanyu sighed and smiled without saying anything.

This little girl is really a fairy. There is no part of her body that does not exude charm. Even if she just sits there quietly, her seductive figure is enough to make a man lose control.

"Are you really tired?"

Shen Zhinian grumbled, "I really have no strength left..."

Nangong Xuanyu chuckled and said, "I was planning to give you a surprise. Since Nian Nian is tired, forget it and take a rest."

Shen Zhinian quickly asked: "What surprise?!"

"Didn't you just say you were exhausted? How come you're energetic again now? You little liar."

"Your Majesty, stop teasing me and tell me now..."

Looking at the little girl who was holding his arm and swaying and acting coquettishly, the emperor's heart softened suddenly, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes: "Didn't I promise you before that I would take you out of the palace for some fresh air after the Wanshou Festival? During this period of time, a lot of things happened in the palace, so it was delayed."

Shen Zhinian didn't expect that Nangong Xuanyu would bring it up before she even asked.

"I thought Your Majesty had forgotten..."

"In your heart, I am the kind of person who does not keep his word?"

"How could that be possible? Your Majesty is a man of truth. Of course I believe in you, but I don't want you to work too hard. Seeing that you always remember your promise to me, I am really happy and touched..."

As a woman, you need to be sweet-mouthed but ruthless at heart.

When Nangong Xuanyu fulfilled what he promised her, she should act as happy as possible. This way, he would feel satisfied and think of her again next time something good happened.

As expected, seeing the surprise in Shen Zhinian's eyes, Nangong Xuanyu also felt an inexplicable joy in his heart: "Then you should prepare well in the next two days, and we will set off after I finish the things at hand."

Shen Zhinian nodded heavily, and said considerately: "It's okay, state affairs are more important, I am waiting for Your Majesty."

This little girl is always so sensible and considerate.

Nangong Xuanyu held her in his arms and she had a good sleep that night.

The next day.

As usual, the emperor did not let anyone wake Shen Zhinian up. When she woke up, he had already gone to court.

Madam Xiao helped Shen Zhinian wash and brush her teeth, and sighed, "I have been in the palace for so many years, and every time when His Majesty went to court, the concubines had to get up and help His Majesty get dressed. This is the first time I have seen His Majesty care so much for someone."

She said that His Majesty was sincere towards her and that her future was limitless.

She and Yuanbao increasingly felt that being completely loyal to the young lady was a wise choice.

Shen Zhinian smiled disapprovingly: "Madam, do you think that His Majesty's favor is reliable?"

"I dare not criticize Your Majesty..."

As Nanny Xiao said this, she looked up to Shen Zhinian in her heart again and became even more respectful to her.

After all, she had seen many concubines who lost their minds after being favored, and their endings were all bad without exception. It was rare for the young lady to remain sober despite being favored by the young lady.

After washing up, Shen Zhinian told Handan and Fuqiu: "Take a few sets of my usual clothes and jewelry with you. His Majesty said he would take me out of the palace in two days."

They both couldn't believe it: "My Lord, is this true?!"

"Your Majesty's words are golden, can they be false?"

The palace maids in the room hurriedly congratulated him.

Yuan Bao flattered, "Generally speaking, after entering the palace, concubines have only a few opportunities to leave. Your Majesty really dotes on me. He holds me at the top of his heart!"

Shen Zhinian smiled and said nothing.

Look, this is the emperor. Sometimes, he only needs to do something casually to make the people below feel grateful and flattered.

"The harem hasn't heard the news yet. Your Majesty is only planning to take the young lady with him?"

Fuqiu was happy, but also a little worried: "With such great favor, I'm afraid that you will become a thorn in everyone's eyes and a thorn in their flesh..."

Madam Xiao saw through it very clearly: "Since ancient times, which favored concubine has not been filled with jealousy and hatred? Since you want to be favored, this is inevitable. As long as everyone in Tingyu Pavilion is alert, others will not find a chance to harm the young master."

"Madam is right. I am not in the palace, so I will trouble you to take care of Tingyu Pavilion."

"Don't worry, my young master. I will guard Tingyu Pavilion perfectly!"

The next day.

Queen Jiang's spirit had improved. It happened to be the first day of the twelfth lunar month, so the Kunning Palace sent the news early and asked the concubines to pay their respects there.

Shen Zhinian chose a conventional outfit, put on a thick cashmere cloak, and put a hot water bottle in her arms before going out with the palace maids.

Although she was wearing thick clothes, the biting cold wind still made her cheeks hurt. Especially Shen Zhinian's skin, which was as delicate as a peeled egg, felt even more uncomfortable.

After a while, her face turned red from the cold. Handan felt so distressed: "You have to go out in such a cold weather. You are really suffering..."
