Chapter 927 He would rather let the princess follow Nian Nian
Shen Zhinian glared at Nangong Xuanyu: "You said you were collecting interest for me, but Your Majesty made it so secretive that you didn't even tell me."
Looking at her lively and smart appearance, the corners of Nangong Xuanyu's lips curled up unconsciously.
He waved to Shen Zhinian and said gently, "Come to me."
With a smile on his lips, Shen Zhinian stood up and walked over.
As soon as she got close, Nangong Xuanyu pulled her to sit on his lap.
If it were any other concubine, they would definitely be terrified at this moment.
But Shen Zhinian has become familiar with it after the first time.
She stretched out her slender fingers and drew circles on Nangong Xuanyu's chest, looking at him seductively: "I wonder what your majesty wants me to come here for?"
Looking at her small, rosy lips, Nangong Xuanyu's eyes darkened and he lowered his head, blocking all the words she was about to say back into his throat.
His kiss was light, with a tenderness that he himself did not even notice.
Shen Zhinian also closed his eyes, enjoying the beauty of this moment.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she felt a little breathless and reached out to push Nangong Xuanyu’s chest.
The man then let her go. When he opened his eyes, they were extremely deep, filled with restrained desires: "With Nian Nian by my side, I'm afraid I won't be able to focus on government affairs."
Shen Zhinian looked away and snorted, "Your Majesty, if you want to be lazy, just say so. I will not bear the blame."
"You, you."
Nangong Xuanyu looked at her helplessly: "You really don't want to suffer any loss at all."
"You are the only one in the palace who dares to speak to me like this."
Shen Zhinian turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Does Your Majesty like it?"
Meeting her charming eyes, Nangong Xuanyu really felt that this woman was a witch!
In the past, he found it absurd when he saw examples in history books of kings not holding court early in the morning.
How could a truly wise ruler neglect state affairs for the sake of a woman?
It was not until he met Nian Nian that Nangong Xuanyu understood this feeling.
Fortunately, his willpower is strong enough, otherwise, facing such a demon every day, I am afraid he would not be able to attend the morning court...
The emperor did not answer Shen Zhinian's question. He coughed lightly and looked away: "...The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are re-preparing your enthronement ceremony, and the imperial seal is also being made."
"This time, I have ordered Lord Gu to personally watch over it, and there will definitely be no mistakes."
The smile in Shen Zhinian's eyes deepened.
Many times, a person can be eloquent in front of someone he doesn't like, but will be at a loss when facing the person he truly loves.
Nangong Xuanyu avoided the question and talked about other things. Is he shy?
However, compared to love affairs, it is obvious that Shen Zhinian is more interested in new topics.
She clasped her slender arms around Nangong Xuanyu's neck and kissed him on the face: "I know that your majesty treats me the best!"
Nangong Xuanyu's expression did not change much, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "You still have some conscience."
Then, he remembered something and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Shen Zhinian stretched out his hand, smoothed the center of Nangong Xuanyu's brow, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, don't frown."
"What's bothering you? Why don't you tell it to Nian Nian?"
Nangong Xuanyu hugged Shen Zhinian tighter: "I was just wondering where the eldest princess is going."
"I will not give the Queen Mother another chance to corrupt her, but the child is very stubborn and refuses to recognize anyone else as her mother."
Shen Zhinian said gently: "Your Majesty, that was only before."
"After what happened recently, I believe the princess has grown much wiser and knows that everything Your Majesty does is for her own good."
However, Nangong Xuanyu thought for a long time but could not think of anyone suitable to raise the eldest princess.
There are only so many main seats in the palace.
Concubine Xue has two princesses.
Concubine Xuan was still in confinement after giving birth and had to take care of the newborn Sixth Prince.
The third prince raised by Concubine Wang has Tang syndrome. She is already overwhelmed with the responsibilities of taking care of the third prince, let alone raising another child.
The fifth prince was born prematurely and was weak, and would not live past the age of 20. Concubine Kang was also overwhelmed with raising him.
And Nian Nian takes care of A Xu.
Now the only one left as the head of the palace who has no children is Concubine Zhuang.
But... Concubine Zhuang.
Nangong Xuanyu's trust in her was no longer as strong as before.
He also didn't want the eldest princess to be raised by Concubine Zhuang, and if anything went wrong, wouldn't it be a harm to the eldest princess?
If that was the case, he would rather let the eldest princess follow Nian Nian.
However, this thought only flashed through Nangong Xuanyu's mind.
He stroked Shen Zhinian's cheek and asked gently, "Nian Nian, do you want to make Zhongcui Palace more lively?"
This man just mentioned the whereabouts of the eldest princess, and then asked her this question again. How could Shen Zhinian not understand what he meant.
To be fair, although the eldest princess was instigated this time, she is only a five-year-old child after all. It is normal that she does not have a strong ability to distinguish right from wrong.
The eldest princess is kind-hearted by nature, and Shen Zhinian doesn't hate her.
But not hating someone is one thing, and supporting them is another.
After becoming a mother, Shen Zhinian knew very well how much energy and effort it takes to raise and educate a young child.
She has never been a selfless saint, and she has always entered the palace to get the wealth and power she wants. It's not like she doesn't have children, and it's not like she can't have children, so why should she spend so much to raise a child who has nothing to do with her?
Moreover, although Liu was sentenced to death as she deserved, they had been fighting for so long, and this matter was ultimately related to her.
What if the princess holds a grudge against her for these things when she grows up? What if she put in so much effort but raised an ungrateful person?
With Shen Zhinian's personality, he would never do anything that is thankless.
Shen Zhinian seemed not to have heard Nangong Xuanyu's hidden meaning, and smiled and said: "Although I like excitement, Ah Xu is in his noisy state. It's already a headache for me to take care of him every day, I'm afraid I can't stand it if it gets more noisy."
Nangong Xuanyu was silent.
Also.
Taking care of a young child is not an easy task. Nian Nian has to raise Ah Xu and handle the affairs of the six palaces. If she is asked to raise Yun'er at the same time, Nangong Xuanyu is worried that she will exhaust herself.
He did not continue the topic, touched Shen Zhinian's cheek, and said softly: "So many things have happened recently, you are tired, go back and have a good rest."
"When I have finished my political affairs, I will go to see you and Ah Xu."
Shen Zhinian stood up and bowed: "I'll take my leave!"
There was no telling how many people in the harem were paying attention to the incident of the eldest princess being instigated, and the final outcome soon spread throughout the palace.
No one could have imagined that the person who did this was actually Concubine Wang!
