Chapter 712: No Different Than Wood
In the past half month, he had visited the Third Prince once in Yikun Palace because he was worried about him. How could he resist not coming to see Ah Xu...
Nangong Xuanyu did not show what he was thinking. He just held Shen Zhinian's hand and said, "It's getting late. Go to bed early."
Shen Zhinian was indeed a little tired, so he stood up and nodded.
Handan and Fuqiu both knew that these days were the Empress's quiet days.
According to palace rules, concubines who have their menstrual period are not allowed to sleep with the emperor.
But they have long been accustomed to the fact that His Majesty sometimes has to accompany the Queen even if he can't do anything.
After bathing, they lay down on the bed.
Nangong Xuanyu embraced Shen Zhinian in his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and held her tightly in his arms.
Shen Zhinian clearly felt that Nangong Xuanyu seemed to be particularly attached to her today, and was a little unlike his usual self.
Shen Zhinian suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Lu Jiangyue had raised a cat. Once, because the cat did something naughty, Lu Jiangyue abandoned it in anger.
Later, Lu Jiangyue found the cat again. Perhaps because of its lack of security, it became much more well-behaved and clingy than before.
Although this analogy was not quite appropriate and undermined the dignity of the Supreme Emperor, Shen Zhinian inexplicably felt that Nangong Xuanyu's current situation was quite similar to that of the cat...
At this time, she wouldn't mind giving him a sweet taste.
Shen Zhinian buried his head in Nangong Xuanyu's chest, wrapped his soft arms around his waist, and pecked him gently on the lips.
Then he closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, go to sleep."
Looking at Shen Zhinian's peaceful face, the emperor felt a sudden sweetness in his heart: "Well, go to sleep."
Before, he always thought, how could a dignified emperor bow to a concubine?
But at this moment, in Nangong Xuanyu's opinion, those things are no longer important.
As long as I am always by his side and love him deeply, that's enough.
……
For many people in the harem, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
His Majesty had not set foot in Zhongcui Palace for half a month. He not only ignored Concubine Chen, but also the Fourth Prince.
Many people have been secretly speculating whether Concubine Chen had done something to anger His Majesty, and although His Majesty did not make her crime public, he had already become disgusted with her?
His Majesty’s favor is limited. Don’t they have a chance to get what Concubine Chen lost?
Many people have been secretly preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
If Concubine Chun can be favored, why can't they?
However, unexpectedly... before these people had time to act, His Majesty actually went against his usual behavior and went to stay overnight at Zhongcui Palace!
What on earth is going on?
Isn't Concubine Chen already showing signs of falling out of favor?
Could it be that she has used some tricks to confuse Your Majesty again?
……
Water Creek Pavilion.
In the past half month, although Concubine Chun did not sleep with the emperor every night, she was favored the most times.
His Majesty sent so many treasures here. He was even better to her than when she was with His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
However, in the face of Nangong Xuanyu's favor, Concubine Chun remained unmoved.
These things can't move her heart!
The only man she loves is a brave, tall and mighty man like His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin!
However...after hearing the recent trends and rumors in the palace, Concubine Chun was in a good mood.
So what if Concubine Chen is the most favored concubine in the palace? Men are like cats, how can they not steal fish and be greedy for fresh food?
As soon as she entered the emperor's bedchamber, she captivated his majesty's heart and soul.
Since His Majesty likes charming types, why should he face the Concubine Chen, who he has long been tired of, every day? Isn't she, a newcomer, more refreshing than Concubine Chen?
Concubine Chun was already thinking in her mind how she should help His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and carry out her next plan after she had received enough favor and gained the emperor's trust.
But who knows... Just then, Yingxiang walked in from outside with an ugly look on her face: "My lady, His Majesty tonight, tonight..."
Concubine Chun glanced at her, and a simple look revealed infinite charm: "Tell me, which lady or young lady did Your Majesty turn over tonight?"
"I've told you before that you can't rush into dealing with men. Keeping them hanging for a few days from time to time can actually keep them fresh and excited."
"Even if His Majesty favors someone else, you don't have to react so strongly."
Yingxiang walked to Concubine Chun and lowered her voice and said, "My lady, His Majesty went to Zhongcui Palace tonight..."
"What did you say?!"
Concubine Chun looked up at Yingxiang, and her face suddenly turned cold.
She has always been confident that none of the low-ranking concubines in the harem could match her.
Among the high-ranking concubines, few are good at fighting.
The princess is still under house arrest.
Concubine Xue considers herself noble.
At first, men may feel a little bit of novelty towards her, but after a long time, who wants to face a dead face all day long?
As for Concubine Liang, there is no need to mention her.
Although he is only in his twenties, he always looks calm, dignified and kind to others. To put it bluntly, he is old-fashioned and looks like a piece of wood.
No wonder His Majesty would just sit for a while and then leave whenever he went to Changchun Palace.
Only Concubine Chen... is the person that Concubine Chun fears the most!
"Your Majesty, you are tired of her. Ever since you favored me, you have never set foot in the gate of Zhongcui Palace. Why did you go to Zhongcui Palace tonight?!"
Yingxiang shook her head: "I don't know..."
"The eunuchs in front of the emperor don't dare to guess what His Majesty is thinking. No one knows why His Majesty suddenly thought of Concubine Chen..."
At this point, Yingxiang felt a little worried: "My lady, what should we do now?"
"If Concubine Ruochen regains her favor, she will have the Fourth Prince by her side. How can we be her opponent?"
She was really worried that the young lady was like many other concubines in the harem. After a few days of feeling fresh about her, His Majesty would completely forget about her...
After a brief moment of surprise, Concubine Chun calmed down.
She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, and said slowly, "What are you afraid of?"
"Your Majesty has doted on Concubine Chen for so long, how can you just forget about her?"
"Your Majesty hasn't favored Concubine Chen for half a month, so it's normal to think of her occasionally."
Concubine Chun never thought that one or two confrontations would allow her to completely replace Concubine Chen!
But don't rush, take your time. She has a lot of patience...
Yingxiang nodded: "It's good that you know what's going on, young master."
Concubine Chun suddenly remembered something and sneered, "During this period of time, all the women in the harem have focused their attention on me. I am very annoyed by their attacks."
