Chapter 701 This time, he will take the initiative to make Nian Nian bow her head
It's not at all like when Liu was the imperial concubine, who always wanted to monopolize His Majesty.
Many people had originally speculated that His Majesty bestowed this extremely precious word as the title of Concubine Chen with the intention of making her the empress.
Now it seems that Concubine Chen really has the demeanor of a mother of the country!
Some people sneered, thinking that Shen Zhinian was just pretending.
Which woman in the harem doesn't want His Majesty to pamper her more?
Which woman would want to push His Majesty outside?
Royal Concubine Chen did this on purpose just for fame.
I’m afraid her heart must have bled when she reminded Your Majesty that she favored Concubine Chun?
Oh! What a hypocritical woman!
Some people sneered and waited in secret to watch the show.
The women in the harem are all competitors, especially beauties of the same type, who will regard each other as their natural enemies.
Both Concubine Chun and Concubine Chen are extremely charming, and a glance from them can make one's bones melt.
But the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty was composed of beauties from the country, except Chun Changzai, who came from the Western Regions.
Just for this freshness, she is one step ahead of Concubine Chen.
Isn't Concubine Chen worried that she will pretend to be virtuous but end up handing His Majesty over to someone else?
That was fun then...
Shen Zhinian doesn't care about what people in the harem think.
She only cared about whether Nangong Xuanyu had the ability to start with Chun Changzai like he did in his previous life and find evidence of Prince Jin's intention to rebel.
If not, she would have to think of other solutions.
That man better stand up!
The next day.
Because of her meritorious service in sleeping with the emperor, Chun Changzai was promoted to Chun Guiren according to palace rules.
After the concubine has served the emperor for the first time, she has to go and pay a visit to the Empress Dowager.
Now that there is no queen in the palace, this procedure should be waived.
However, everyone knew that it was because Concubine Chen reminded His Majesty that Concubine Chun had not yet served his majesty in the palace for many months, that His Majesty turned over her card last night.
Therefore, early this morning, Concubine Chun came to Zhongcui Palace to express her gratitude.
Besides this, she has another purpose——
When His Majesty summoned her to sleep with him last night, he didn't look happy or interested at all. It seemed more like he was... angry with her and Concubine Chen.
This made Concubine Chun feel wronged, and at the same time, a sense of humiliation arose in her heart!
No matter what, she is the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions and has driven countless men crazy!
Why couldn't she seduce an emperor even after entering the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
She remembered this humiliation in her heart!
One day, she will join forces with His Royal Highness Prince Jin to overthrow the emperor's kingdom in order to avenge this!
Before entering Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Chun suppressed all the emotions on her face, showed a submissive expression, and bowed to Shen Zhinian to express her gratitude.
Shen Zhinian said a few polite words, gave her a reward, and then sent her back.
She carefully recalled the information she knew in her previous life.
Although Concubine Chun seems to be in the emperor's harem, she has actually always been in love with Prince Jin.
Prince Jin had a serious tendency to domestic violence. Under his daily abuse and oppression, Concubine Chun's psychology became distorted. Not only did she not hate Prince Jin, but she also regarded him as a god.
As long as Prince Jin didn't beat her and was a little gentle to her, Concubine Chun would be grateful to tears.
This kind of mentality... is difficult to evaluate.
In her previous life, although Shen Zhinian was a first-rank imperial lady, it was impossible for her to know every detail of the harem.
She only knew that Nangong Xuanyu had gotten rid of Prince Jin through Concubine Chun. As for how it was done, Shen Zhinian was not clear.
But from her understanding of Nangong Xuanyu in this life, that man was also good at acting.
Could it be that in his previous life, he used sweet words to deceive Concubine Chun and made her sell out Prince Jin, just like he did in this life?
After all, after having experienced a domestic violence man like Prince Jin, it would be difficult for Concubine Chun not to turn against a normal man who dotes on her extremely.
No matter what, as long as Nangong Xuanyu can achieve his goal.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
How could Li Changde not see that His Majesty was a little absent-minded the whole day today.
Of course he knew the reason.
But since His Majesty didn't say anything, Li Changde didn't dare to ask.
Nangong Xuanyu had words on the tip of his tongue several times but swallowed them back.
Finally, he couldn't help himself, put down the memorial in his hand, and asked coldly: "I turned over Concubine Chun's name card last night, and promoted her position today. After the news spread in the palace, how did everyone react?"
If it were someone else, they would definitely explain everything truthfully.
However, Li Changde was a shrewd man and understood that His Majesty did not want to know other people's reactions. He clearly wanted to ask Concubine Chen, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Li Changde sighed deeply in his heart and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen did not have any special reaction."
"This morning, when Concubine Chun went to Zhongcui Palace to express her gratitude, Concubine Chen not only did not embarrass her, but also gave her a reward."
The emperor placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table with a "bang" sound!
His face turned even darker. "Who told you to mention Concubine Chen? Did I ask her?"
"Whether she reacts or not, what does it have to do with me? Do I care?"
Li Changde bent even lower: "It is my fault for talking too much, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything else, but his chest heaved, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Nian Nian, ah Nian Nian.....don't you really care about me at all in your heart?
Or is it that what you care about most is only the position of imperial concubine, and once you get it, you will no longer care about me?
The emperor gradually got used to the sweet love he had with Shen Zhinian in the past, and no matter what time it was, she would always put him first.
Because of habit, we take it for granted.
Although he still loved Nian Nian in his heart, he did not pay as much attention to her as before. Occasionally, he would be attracted by other beauties in the harem.
Just like when you are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, sometimes you want to change to light porridge and side dishes.
From last night till now, he was clearly very angry with Nian Nian, but all he could think about was her figure...
Although he was unwilling, Nangong Xuanyu had to admit that the less Nian Nian cared about him, the more he felt anxious...
This feeling was something Nangong Xuanyu had never experienced with any other woman.
He is a dignified emperor, could he be such a despicable person? Why would he be like this?
In love, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.
Nangong Xuanyu has clearly noticed that Nian Nian has become arrogant because of her favor and is no longer as obedient as before.
For an emperor, how could he allow his concubines to control his emotions and mind?
He wanted to keep it in mind for a while.
He wanted to make her understand that even if he liked her, he was first and foremost an emperor, a sovereign!
This time, he would take the initiative to make Nian Nian bow her head.
He would never allow anyone to control his emotions!
