Chapter 486 My Wife
Shen Zhinian smiled sweetly, her tone carrying three parts of surprise and seven parts of excitement: "Really?!"
"Your Majesty, are you really going to take me out of the palace?!"
"Your Majesty is so kind to me!!!"
Seeing the undisguised excitement in her eyes, Nangong Xuanyu's mood also improved a lot.
He stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Zhinian's cheek, smiling and saying, "Taking you out of the palace is good for you. So, I'm not good to you normally?"
Shen Zhinian glared at him and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you just nitpicking?"
"When did I ever say that you are not good to me normally? It's just that you are especially good to me this time!"
Nangong Xuanyu shook his head helplessly.
After getting to know Nian Nian, he finally understood why there were so many kings in history who were obsessed with women. Who wouldn't be confused when such words came from the mouth of a beauty?
"You should prepare well today. I still have some government affairs to deal with. I will ask Li Changde to pick you up tomorrow."
Shen Zhinian smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
After the emperor left, Handan and Fuqiu looked at Shen Zhinian with sparkling eyes.
After all, how could the Empress not have someone to serve her when she left the palace?
They grew up outside the palace, and they hadn't been out for a long time since they entered the tall imperial city.
Shen Zhinian saw at a glance what the two girls were thinking. But this time, I'm afraid they will be disappointed.
"When the emperor travels, it is bound to be a grand and tumultuous trip. But I did not know about this until now. This means that your majesty intends to go on a private visit in disguise."
"Since this is a secret visit, the number of people I bring with me should be as simple as possible. I can only bring one servant with me. You can decide for yourselves who will accompany me this time."
Handan immediately said, "I know how to dress up. How can the queen not need me? Good Fuqiu, you should stay in the palace for now!"
Precisely because they have a good relationship, they don't have to worry about anything when talking.
Fuqiu snorted softly, "Your Majesty and the Queen are on a secret visit, so they must put safety first. Why would they stay overnight outside the palace? I'm afraid your dressing skills will not be of any use."
"My lady, I am more stable than Handan, so please take me with you!"
Handan was not convinced: "You are so good, Fuqiu, you usually don't fight or compete, but this time you are fighting with me."
Although the two said such words, there were smiles on their faces.
For a moment, the atmosphere in Zhongcui Palace was very relaxed and pleasant.
Not long after, Xiao Huizi mysteriously brought a package to Zhongcui Palace. After paying his respects, he said respectfully, "My Lady Concubine Xian, this is something His Majesty has specially ordered me to give to you."
Shen Zhinian motioned Handan to open it and take a look. There were indeed two sets of clothes worn by common women, one for the master and one for the maid.
Handan and Fuqiu looked at each other, and their first feeling was that the Queen was truly amazing!
One can even guess the number of maids that His Majesty asked her to bring with her when she went out of the palace incognito!
Shen Zhinian asked Fuqiu to reward Xiao Huizi.
"I know."
Xiao Huizi bowed and said, "If Her Majesty the Concubine has no other instructions, I will go back and report."
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
After breakfast, Li Changde came to Zhongcui Palace in a low-key manner. After paying his respects, he said, "My Lady, the carriage is waiting outside. When you are ready, follow me."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly, took the Fourth Prince and hugged him, then handed him back to the nurse: "I am not here today, you must take good care of the Fourth Prince."
The wet nurses immediately said, "Please rest assured, Madam!"
Nanny Lin stood aside, her eyes gentle, "The Fourth Prince has old slaves and Nanny Xiao to serve him, your majesty, don't worry."
She felt sorry for the queen, as the palace was full of intrigues and it was not easy to survive. She finally had a chance to go out of the palace and relax, so the queen should go and have some fun with His Majesty!
I don’t know how Handan and Fuqiu discussed it, but they finally decided that Handan would accompany Shen Zhinian out of the palace this time.
They changed their clothes, combed their hair into a simple bun, got on the carriage, and headed towards Shenwu Gate in a low-key manner.
When Shen Zhinian and Handan arrived at Shenwu Gate, a larger and more luxurious carriage was already parked there. Although there was no royal emblem on it, it was clear who was sitting inside.
With the help of Handan, Shen Zhinian got on the carriage.
Nangong Xuanyu sat in the middle.
He did not wear a dragon robe today, but a sapphire blue robe. The cuffs and collar were embroidered with delicate patterns. His jet-black hair was tied up on top of his head and fixed with a jade crown.
This outfit was less majestic than usual, and more elegant. The only thing that hadn't changed was the noble aura that emanated from him.
He looks like a noble and distinguished young man.
There is plenty of space in the carriage, enough for people to stand.
Shen Zhinian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu stretched out a hand and looked at her with a smile: "Nian Nian, what should I call you today?"
Only the Empress of the Central Palace can be called the Emperor's wife.
But as a favorite concubine, and there were no outsiders on this trip, isn't it normal for her to occasionally take advantage of her favor and act a little arrogant?
Shen Zhinian also wanted to know whether this man would allow his attendants to address her as "Madam" to outsiders?
She walked over and put her hand into Nangong Xuanyu's palm, lowering her head to hide the cunning that flashed across her eyes: "Husband."
"Today, you are not His Majesty, and I am not a virtuous concubine. You are just Nian Nian's husband."
In the past, when she was in love, the woman in front of him had blushed, panted, and called him "husband", asking him to forgive her.
But at this moment, these two words shouted out from her mouth did not carry any charming meaning, it was just a title of identity.
Nangong Xuanyu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He embraced Shen Zhinian, kissed the top of her head, and couldn't help but say, "Madam..."
Shen Zhinian's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
It's not that I'm attracted to Nangong Xuanyu, but this name...
She had always thought that Nangong Xuanyu would at most only let the attendants call her "Madam", and he would never let her overstep her boundaries in terms of status.
After all, emperors value rules.
did not expect……
Shen Zhinian took a deep breath to calm the surging emotions in her heart. When she raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Xuanyu, there was a hint of fear and uneasiness in her beautiful eyes.
She calmly asked, "Your Majesty, I am just your concubine. How can you, how can you..."
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were deep, and there was some emotion in them that Shen Zhinian could not understand.
But in the end, he still didn't say what he really thought, but just gently touched her cheek: "Since you are leaving the palace incognito, you don't need to follow those complicated rules."
"Today, I am just your husband, and you are just my wife."
