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

As soon as I came in, I felt the heat coming towards me, it was extremely warm.

There is a thick layer of petals floating on the water, the fragrance is refreshing and the scene is magnificent.

The maidservant bowed her head and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I pay my respects to Lady Rou!"

Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand: "You don't need to serve here anymore, go down."

"Yes."

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the hot spring, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Facing the emperor's gentle gaze, Shen Zhinian's charming face was tinged with a layer of blush: "Your Majesty..."

Little did they know that she was born with a charming figure, and her shy appearance made Nangong Xuanyu unable to let go of her: "Niannian, please help me change my clothes. Or... I can help Niannian change my clothes."

In the whole world, perhaps only Concubine Rou can make the emperor say that he would serve her.

Although it was a boudoir pleasure, Shen Zhinian was always cautious and didn't dare to let the emperor serve her: "Let me do it."

Nangong Xuanyu spread his arms and looked at the busy girl in front of him with a smile.

The emperor was very tall, and even if Shen Zhinian stood on tiptoe, she could barely reach his chin.

After some trouble, the two finally took off their outer clothes and walked into the hot spring.

Wrapped in the warm spring water with the scent of flowers, Shen Zhinian felt so comfortable that it seemed as if all the pores on his body had opened up. He squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying the warm and comfortable feeling.

She couldn't help but think of the first winter she married Lu Jianglin in her previous life, which was also so cold. The Lu family was poor and couldn't afford servants, so even though it was freezing cold, she had to wash clothes for the whole family.

Although Shen Zhinian believed that he had the ability to change his fate and he did it in the end, he still suffered a lot.

That winter, she suffered from cold every day, and her hands were covered with chilblains. Even in spring, they were still itchy.

In the Lu family, it was a luxury for them to live in an airtight house, let alone being served as a guest for a hot spring bath.

In this life, Shen Nanqiao will have to endure all the hardships. And she will follow the emperor and enjoy a luxurious life!

I just don’t know if Shen Nanqiao regrets it now?

……

Lu family.

"Ah-choo-!!!"

Shen Nanqiao sneezed violently due to the cold. Looking at the wooden basin filled with clothes, she prepared herself mentally before reaching out her hand.

When she touched the freezing water, she quickly withdrew her hand, feeling so aggrieved that tears were about to fall.

Although the Shen family was not a noble family, they were also a family of officials. She had never done housework at home. Why did she have to wash clothes herself in the middle of winter after getting married?

Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue came out of the inner room and saw that none of the clothes in the wooden basin had been touched. They frowned and said, "It's been so long, how come you haven't even finished washing a single piece of clothing?"

Shen Nanqiao said aggrievedly: "Mom, the water is too cold... I have been washing clothes these days and my hands have frostbite..."

Mother Lu was immediately unhappy: "As a daughter-in-law, it is your duty to be filial to your mother-in-law and serve your sister-in-law. If you don't wash, do you want us to wash?"

"That's not what I meant. It's just... there are maids out there who specialize in washing clothes for people. Why does mother insist on me doing it myself?"

Shen's father was promoted, and Zhou often subsidized Shen Nanqiao. Although she could not live as well as before she got married, she could barely get by.

Mother Lu sneered.

Her husband died early, and she had long regarded her son as her pillar of support. Before Lu Jianglin got married, the mother and son slept in the same room.

Since he got married, there was one more person between them. Mother Lu had always disliked Shen Nanqiao, thinking that she had taken her son away, so she naturally wanted to torture her in various ways.

Of course, Mother Lu still had to put on a show: "Nan Qiao, I'm doing this for your own good. Lin'er is going to be the top scholar in the imperial examination, and be made a marquis and a prime minister. If you're not a bit more virtuous and do everything yourself, how can you be worthy of him?"

Thinking of the glorious days when Shen Zhinian became a first-rank imperial lady in her previous life, Shen Nanqiao gritted her teeth and endured it: "Mother is right. I will definitely serve you and my sister-in-law well, take good care of this family, and let my husband study with peace of mind, so that I can win the top three prizes in the imperial examinations!"

The current suffering is nothing. As long as she can get through it, her future will be even more glorious than Shen Zhinian's previous life!

Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao took a deep breath, put her hands into the cold water, and rubbed her clothes vigorously. Even though her white and tender hands were frozen and swollen like carrots, she didn't care!

As Shen Nanqiao rubbed her hair, she kept muttering, "I have snatched Shen Zhinian's glorious life away from me. I will definitely live a better life than her! She will die in the cannibalistic palace sooner or later. Maybe she is already complaining bitterly now..."

Lu Jiangyue, who was eating melon seeds beside her, was amused by her: "Sister-in-law, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Don't you see who you are? How can you compare with the noble Rou, who is so precious?"

"I heard that Concubine Rou was the most favored concubine among the newcomers. His Majesty brought her alone to the Xiaotangshan Palace. That is a great honor! Tsk tsk... You are sisters, why is there such a big difference between you?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?! How is this possible?!"

In her previous life, she was rejected by His Majesty as soon as she entered the palace. The most favored newcomer was the beautiful girl named Liu Ruyan. How could Shen Zhinian be the most favored concubine? !

Lu Jiangyue was a commoner, and she envied those young ladies from official families the most. Therefore, she had a natural malice towards Shen Nanqiao. The harder Shen Nanqiao's life was, the more satisfied she felt.

So what if she was a daughter of an official family? She was still inferior to a commoner like her.

"My friend Cui Er, her sister is a maid in charge of purchasing in the harem. These things have long been spread, and they are absolutely true!"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it is important for people to know themselves. Don't even think about competing with Concubine Rou. You are not worthy! Serving our family well is what you should do!"

Shen Nanqiao said absentmindedly: "Impossible... Impossible..."

She had gone to great lengths to secure this marriage, so how could she possibly live worse than Shen Zhinian?

In fact, Shen Nanqiao had been suffering various tortures in the Lu family for nearly three months, and she had already regretted it. But she had grabbed the marriage herself, so if she regretted it, how could she live?

Therefore, Shen Nanqiao could only comfort himself in his heart that temporary downfall and glory were nothing. The one who could laugh to the end was the ultimate winner!

As long as she can hold on until next autumn's imperial examination, and her husband passes the imperial examination with the top scorer, she will be able to hold her head high!

Shen Nanqiao rubbed her clothes vigorously while muttering to herself: "Jieyuan! Yes! Jieyuan! I want to wait for my husband to be Jieyuan!"

Looking at her weird look, Lu Jiangyue was speechless.

She also didn't realize how much her sister-in-law loved her brother, and why she believed so firmly that her brother would definitely win the top prize in the imperial examination.
