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

Chapter 193 Finally Reconciled

Handan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Under her skillful hands, the beauty in the bronze mirror gradually became more charming.

Not long after, the holy carriage arrived.

This was the first time Shen Zhinian met the emperor after being promoted to the position of concubine.

Seeing the bright yellow figure coming in from outside, she adjusted her expression, stood up and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"

Nangong Xuan stepped forward and helped Shen Zhinian up, saying softly, "Didn't I tell you that since you are pregnant, all etiquette is waived?"

Shen Zhinian lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty is considerate of me, but I cannot take advantage of your favor and become arrogant."

"Okay, sit down now."

Nangong Xuanyu took Shen Zhinian's hand and walked to the table and sat down.

When his eyes fell on her face, he found that she looked much better. She had a pair of bright big eyes, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised, her eyes were charming and seductive. Her every frown and smile was full of charm.

Most importantly, the sadness and melancholy in her eyes dissipated a lot. The emperor's depressed mood finally improved.

Otherwise, if she has been immersed in sorrow, how can the royal heir develop well, and it will also harm the mother.

The palace servants were very well-behaved and served food to the two people in silence.

Although the atmosphere between the two of them has not yet returned to the relaxed and comfortable state it was before, it is still warm overall.

After dinner, Nangong Xuanyu asked all the palace maids to leave and sat on a chair by the window to talk with Shen Zhinian.

"Is everything okay after Nian Nian moved to the main seat of Zhongcui Palace? If there is anything missing, please tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Shen Zhinian gathered her emotions for a moment, and with her pair of clear autumn eyes, she looked at the emperor: "I have something to say in my heart, but I dare not say it..."

When he came here before, this woman always looked very strict with rules, saying that if the king wanted his subject to die, the subject had to die, and her attitude was respectful yet distant.

This made Nangong Xuanyu feel that he was increasingly unable to touch her heart.

Tonight she was finally willing to open her heart, how could the emperor not be happy: "I have always hoped that Nian Nian could speak freely to me. If you have anything in your heart, just say it directly, and I will forgive you."

Shen Zhinian then sniffed, her voice slightly choked with sobs: "For what happened at the New Year's Eve banquet, I do feel resentful towards Your Majesty. I don't blame Your Majesty for not trusting me, but I blame Your Majesty for clearly saying that he would not let my deep affection down, but still..."

"So these past few days, I have been really sad and upset. I don't understand why love affairs can be so heartbreaking..."

"It was not until His Majesty asked Eunuch Li to deliver the imperial decree for promotion that I realized that His Majesty still cared about me."

"I don't care about my status, nor do I care whether I am a noble or the head of a palace. As long as Your Majesty is willing to take me to heart, that's enough..."

This was to tell the emperor that she was happy and that they had made peace with each other, not because she had become a concubine, but because she knew that he had her in his heart.

Shen Zhinian didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.

Men who want to climb the official ranks in the government, while doing their job well, will inevitably do everything they can to please their superiors. Others will only praise them for knowing how to be an official.

Then why couldn't she use the same means to gain a high position in the harem?

They are all seeking a better future, and no one is nobler than anyone else.

The last trace of suspicion in the emperor's heart disappeared, and he took Shen Zhinian's hand and said, "I know that what Nian Nian cares about most is my sincerity."

In the past, he believed that the emperor was ruthless and would not make an exception for a woman. But today, Nangong Xuanyu didn't know whether he was affectionate or ruthless...

The estrangement between the two of them was completely gone, and they finally reconciled. Li Changde, who was waiting outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the laughter coming from the house.

The palace servants in the Hall of Mental Cultivation finally no longer had to work in fear and trepidation.

Shen Zhinian snuggled in Nangong Xuanyu's arms, put her face on his chest, and gently stroked her belly with her slender hands: "Sometimes, I really think it's magical that there is a little life in it."

The emperor smiled and said, "This is Nian Nian's first time being a mother, so of course she feels new and interesting."

Shen Zhinian couldn't help but look up and glared at him: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that this is not the first time you have been a father, so you are used to it?"

It is said that pregnant women are emotionally sensitive. Nangong Xuanyu felt it this time and said with a smile, "You, you."

"I mean, we will have a second, third, and fourth child in the future. After so many times, Nian Nian will get used to it."

Shen Zhinian burst out laughing, thinking that she was not a sow, how could she give birth to so many children. But the royal family valued offspring the most, so she still didn't say this out loud.

Nangong Xuanyu also gently touched her belly, and his cold eyebrows softened at once: "The prince is still young, and there is no movement yet."

Shen Zhinian chuckled and said, "Imperial Doctor Tang said that we have to wait four or five months before we can feel the fetal movement. It's not even two months yet, how can it be that fast?"

Nangong Xuanyu naturally understood this.

It’s strange to say, this is obviously not the first time he is a father, but he has never been so looking forward to the birth of a child.

Perhaps Nian Nian and his children are different in his heart after all...

As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Zhinian's slender white fingers gently drew circles on Nangong Xuanyu's chest: "Your Majesty, I am pregnant and cannot sleep with you. It's getting late, are you going to other sisters?"

Nangong Xuanyu felt better.

His Concubine Roupin has always been kind and generous, and she occasionally shows off her temper, which makes him love her even more.

Because if a woman is always generous, it proves that she has no self in her heart; but if she is always jealous, it will make him bored. This is just right.

"I remember that I didn't eat dumplings for dinner, so why do I smell a sour smell?"

Shen Zhinian turned her head away and ignored Nangong Xuanyu: "I strictly abide by the palace rules, so I admonished Your Majesty, but Your Majesty still teased me like this."

Nangong Xuanyu hugged her again and said with a smile: "Stingy."

"Palace rules are palace rules, but since I knew you were pregnant, I have not stayed with you. I will stay in Zhongcui Palace tonight."

"Just one thing...behave yourself and don't seduce me."

Shen Zhinian smiled faintly: "When did I ever seduce Your Majesty? It's obvious that Your Majesty always falsely accuses me."

"Yes, yes, you are right."

She was born with such a figure and temperament, and lying next to him was just to seduce him.

But the emperor couldn't say such words.

Holding the beauty in his arms and whispering to her was both happiness and torture for the emperor.

Nangong Xuanyu finally understood what a sweet burden was.
