Chapter 573 The Emperor's Invitation
The emperor's delicate kiss landed on Shen Zhinian's slender neck, and his hot breath sprayed over: "Didn't I just hold Nian Nian to take a bath together? Why doesn't it count as a joke?"
Shen Zhinian: "..."
It turns out that her understanding of letting go is not the same as what Nangong Xuanyu meant by letting go.
But she finally understood that this man had a bad taste. The more she refused, the more interested he became.
In that case... hehe!
Shen Zhinian gritted his teeth, pushed the emperor away, and then took the initiative and sat on him.
Her long, silky hair draped over her smooth shoulders made her look even more charming from Nangong Xuanyu's perspective.
Shen Zhinian's soft fingers landed on Nangong Xuanyu's abdominal muscles, and slowly slid down, with a seductive tone: "Your Majesty has an order, and I dare not disobey..."
When the last word fell, her fingers slowly tightened, holding the initiative in her palm...
The emperor suddenly groaned, his reason was on the verge of losing control.
This woman, actually...
The bed curtains are swaying, filling the room with spring light.
When everything calmed down, it was already late at night.
Perhaps women are naturally less physically strong than men, and in the end Shen Zhinian was defeated.
Sweat soaked the strands of hair on her forehead, and she lay on the emperor's chest, panting.
Nangong Xuanyu touched her long hair and said gently, "Will you be naughty again in the future?"
Shen Zhinian was unwilling to answer and snorted.
After the emperor was satisfied, he was in a good mood and said very patiently: "I came here today to tell Nian Nian a good news, but I forgot about it when Nian Nian interrupted me. I just remembered it now."
Shen Zhinian couldn't help but glared at him: "What do you mean by being interrupted by a concubine?"
It's obvious that this man is not serious.
Nangong Xuanyu pinched her cheek and said, "Do you want to listen?"
Shen Zhinian propped himself up and looked at Nangong Xuanyu with a hint of expectation: "What good news?"
"If it's just an ordinary matter, I'm not interested."
Nangong Xuanyu shook his head helplessly: "You..."
"The Lantern Festival is less than ten days away. Many streets in the capital will hold lively lantern festivals. Do you want to go out and take a look?"
After staying in the palace for a long time, Shen Zhinian was bored. His interest was piqued: "Is it okay?"
Unlike the last time the results of the Autumn Examination were announced, the Lantern Festival was very lively and crowded. Ordinary nobles had to pay attention to their safety when going out, let alone the king of a country.
Seeing the light in her eyes, the emperor nodded with a smile: "Why not?"
Shen Zhinian smiled faintly and asked, "Is it just your Majesty and me?"
Nangong Xuanyu asked back: "Who else does Nian Nian want?"
He heard from Li Changde that among folks, lovers usually make an appointment to go out together during the Lantern Festival to watch lanterns and guess lantern riddles.
He thought of her first and only of her.
Because the other women in the harem are the emperor's concubines, but not the ones that Nangong Xuanyu likes.
Shen Zhinian's eyes sparkled like bright stars: "No one."
"Yu Lang only has Nian Nian in his heart, and Nian Nian only has Yu Lang in her heart."
"On the Lantern Festival, let Nian Nian be greedy for a moment. You are not a concubine in the harem, Your Majesty. You are just Nian Nian's lover..."
Nangong Xuanyu held her in his arms, his tone so gentle that he didn't even notice it: "Okay."
Shen Zhinian lay in Nangong Xuanyu's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the corners of her lips slowly curved up.
She could feel that as time passed, this man's love for her was gradually deepening.
It’s a pity...her original intention has never changed. She didn’t enter the palace to have a love affair with the emperor.
Shen Zhinian knew very well that no matter how Concubine Shu committed suicide, as long as the Duke Dingguo's Mansion stood, Concubine Shu would always have a way out.
If you want to completely overthrow Concubine Shu, you must first get rid of Duke Dingguo's Mansion!
However, in the previous life, although the emperor had such thoughts, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was not cleaned up until Shen Zhinian was killed in an accidental landslide.
Naturally, she had no idea what happened later.
Shen Zhinian guessed that one of the reasons why the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had been able to prosper for so long was that the time was not yet ripe.
But part of the reason was that the emperor treated Concubine Shu differently after all. For her sake, the emperor was more lenient towards the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
In this life, Shen Zhinian doesn't want to, nor does he have the patience to wait that long!
The first thing she had to do was to completely erase all traces of Shufei, her first love, in Nangong Xuanyu's heart, so that he would not have any remaining feelings for her.
Even...extremely disgusting!
In this way, the emperor will become more and more dissatisfied with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and will show no mercy when dealing with them.
Concubine Shu has an irritable and impulsive personality, and this is where she can be best exploited.
What would happen if Concubine Shu knew that Nangong Xuanyu took only her out of the palace to appreciate the lanterns on the Lantern Festival?
Shen Zhinian placed his arm on Nangong Xuanyu's abdominal muscles, closed his eyes gently, and thought in his mind...
……
Shuiyuexuan.
Lady Hao sat on the beauty couch, listening to the young palace maids telling jokes around her. She placed one hand on her abdomen, her face looking relaxed and happy.
At this time, a little palace maid came in and reported: "My lady, Concubine Wu is asking for an audience."
Chu Er frowned. "That day in the Imperial Garden, Wu Changzai clearly promised the young lady that she would help find all the scattered pearls. How come she only came here after several days? She really has no sincerity at all!"
The maid who passed the message asked, "Then... do we still need to invite Concubine Wu in?"
Lady Hao yawned lazily: "Send her over."
She wanted to teach Wu Changzai a lesson, but she didn't want to become known as arrogant and domineering after the news of her pregnancy spread in the harem.
Since Concubine Wu came to ask for a meeting, she couldn't turn him away.
The little palace maid replied "yes" and turned to leave.
Soon, Wu Changzai walked into the inner room and bowed: "I greet the noble lady Hao, may you have good luck!"
Because Concubine Hao was pregnant, she looked a little tired. She raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Wu: "What wind blew Sister Wu to Shuiyue Pavilion today?"
Wu Changzai motioned for Tan'er to hand over the box in her hand and apologized, "I am incompetent. I have searched the Imperial Garden for several days and only found forty-four pearls. The remaining three are really missing..."
"Please forgive me, Lady Hao."
Concubine Hao bit her lip and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
With her position, she was not qualified to wear such a fine pearl. If she was not pregnant, how could she have received such a treasure from His Majesty?
Three pearls were missing, and I strung the remaining ones together. Although it can still be worn, it is not as perfect as before.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have used this pearl necklace to embarrass Concubine Wu.
