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

Chapter 556: Prince Jin is a domestic violence man

Naturally, he also saw Shen Zhinian's sad look.

But Gu Jinxiao said nothing in the end. She just lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids.

Princess Yun'an and Princess Qingyang are both concerned about the affairs of Gu Jinxiao, Lord Gu. This has become an unspoken secret in the circle of power and influence in the capital.

Since the palace banquet began, the two of them have been paying close attention to him.

However, Gu Jingxiao's eyes were very obscure when he looked at Shen Zhinian, and he just glanced at her every time. In addition, there were many guests at the palace banquet, so they didn't notice who he was looking at.

Moreover, Gu Jinxiao was a reserved person, usually with an indifferent expression, so the two of them could not guess what he was thinking.

After three rounds of drinking, Shen Zhinian saw Concubine Liang and Concubine Hao's eyes meet, and she immediately stood up and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, and I have a happy event to announce to Your Majesty!"

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win. Shen Zhinian won because she already knew that Concubine Hao was pregnant. But Concubine Hao and Concubine Liang didn't know that Concubine Sun also had good news.

For some reason, both Concubine Hao and Concubine Liang had a bad feeling in their hearts...

Nangong Xueyu looked at Shen Zhinian with a gentle gaze and asked with a smile: "Oh? Nian Nian, do you have any good news?"

Shen Zhinian bowed gently and said, "This is a happy event for Zhongcui Palace, and even more so for Your Majesty! It would be better if the protagonist of this event could come and announce it to Your Majesty in person."

As Shen Zhinian sat down, Concubine Sun stood up from the noble seat, lowered her eyes, and a shy smile appeared on her face: "Your Majesty, I am pregnant."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Sun.

Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some are furious.

Some people had disbelief written all over their faces.

Concubine Shu frowned even more fiercely!

Concubine Sun was born as a concubine in the palace. She had served His Majesty for many years but had never gotten pregnant. Everyone in the palace had already tacitly accepted that she was unlucky and infertile.

Therefore, even though Concubine Sun married Concubine Xian and was favored by her, not many people took her seriously.

Concubine Sun is unexpectedly, unexpectedly pregnant? !

Nangong Xuanyu has only two princes so far. Even in a noble family, this number of offspring is considered small, let alone in a royal family?

Hearing Concubine Sun's words, his deep eyes burst into great surprise: "Are you serious?!"

Concubine Sun nodded shyly: "According to the imperial physician's diagnosis, my pregnancy is almost three months old and the fetus is stable, absolutely true."

Nangong Xuanyu was delighted: "Okay! Hahahaha—Okay!"

Everyone immediately put down their glasses and said in unison, "This is truly a great event! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

On the handsome face of Prince Jin, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.

Even in the royal family, the infant mortality rate was high. The emperor only had two princes, so it was easy for him to have no successor.

This is good news for King Jin.

Now there is another pregnant concubine in the harem, which is not what Prince Jin wants to see.

But his face was full of joy. He stood up, raised his glass and said, "Congratulations, brother. You will have another child. This is truly a blessing for our Great Zhou!"

Nangong Xuanyu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Prince Jin is not young anymore, but he has not yet married a wife, and there are no children in the mansion. He needs to work harder."

The King of Jin said in a carefree manner: "This time I came to the capital, in addition to wishing you a happy new year, I also have this intention."

"If I have someone I love, I will have to trouble my brother to arrange a marriage for me!"

When many royal relatives heard this, they began to have some ideas.

Although the women in their families are relatives of the King of Jin and intermarriage is impossible, many of their allies still have daughters, sisters, and granddaughters who are still waiting to be married!

There was a cold gleam in Shen Zhinian's eyes when he looked at Prince Jin.

The King of Jin looked handsome, elegant and gentle. But in fact... he had a special hobby. Whenever he got drunk, he liked to beat the concubines in his palace.

The reason why the King of Jin still has no children is because he beat several of his pregnant concubines until they had miscarriages...

However, not many people know this secret, at least it has not yet spread to the capital.

The noble families in his fiefdom, having heard about this, did not dare to marry their daughters to the Prince of Jin as his principal wife.

The palace was full of dangers. It was common for concubines to keep their pregnancies a secret and only announce the news three months later when the fetus was stable.

As long as she doesn't keep it a secret until she gives birth like Xiao Yueying, the emperor will understand and won't be unhappy about it.

Nangong Xuanyu was obviously in a good mood tonight. He looked at Concubine Sun, then at Shen Zhinian: "Concubine Sun is your palace person. This baby is developing so well, it can't be separated from your care."

"Xianfei, you have worked hard."

Concubine Sun smiled and said, "Yes. Ever since Sister Xianfei entered the palace, she has been taking good care of me."

Shen Zhinian said modestly: "Your Majesty trusts me. It is my duty to assist in the management of the six palaces and take care of the pregnant concubines."

"Your Majesty is overly complimentary."

The royal relatives all nodded.

This is the demeanor of the leader of the Four Concubines!

The virtuous concubine is really good.

Concubine Shu looked angry, with disdain flashing in her eyes.

She didn't believe that there was such a generous woman in the harem.

Perhaps Concubine Xian also feels that the Fourth Prince cannot handle the palace alone, so she wants to win over more allies?

Haha! If Concubine Sun could also give birth to a prince, and was raised to have ambitions, she would turn against Concubine Xian.

At that time, I wonder how Concubine Xian will feel when she is used as a stepping stone by the ally she trusts the most and has supported herself?

Next, the emperor bestowed a series of rewards on Concubine Sun and Shen Zhinian.

I wonder how many people were envious of that priceless treasure.

But there's no point in being jealous.

Who told them that they were not as lucky as Concubine Sun to conceive a royal heir?

After thanking him, Shen Zhinian said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, it is very cold today, and the roads are slippery due to the snow. Sister Sun is pregnant, so I am afraid it will be inconvenient for her to travel."

Nangong Xuanyu was a grown man, so he naturally didn't think so carefully. Hearing Shen Zhinian's reminder, he nodded and said, "What the virtuous concubine said is very true. From now on, I will grant Concubine Sun a sedan chair."

Only the head of the first palace is qualified to ride in a sedan chair when traveling. It is not only convenient and labor-saving, but also a symbol of status!

Noble Lady Sun is still a noble lady, she actually has such a blessing.

But no one present objected.

Who told her that she was carrying a dragon in her belly, her body was precious?

Concubine Sun bowed with a smile: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

The person she was most grateful to was not His Majesty, but Sister Xianfei, because many of the benefits were won for her by Sister Xianfei.

Many unfavored concubines of low rank were extremely envious of Concubine Sun at this moment.
