Chapter 240 Will Nangong Xuanyu Leave?
Nangong Xuanyu has met many people in his life.
Whether it was the powerful Duke Zhenguo and Duke Dingguo, or the illustrious Queen Jiang and Concubine Liu, or his beloved Concubine Rou, they all felt like living with a tiger when facing him.
But every time she met Concubine Wen, although her attitude was respectful, she did not show the awe of the imperial power from the bottom of her heart.
Her respect was only superficial.
The emperor had never seen this in anyone.
Precisely because it was so strange, Nangong Xuanyu did not feel offended, but rather found it somewhat fresh.
"Get up."
Jiang Wange raised her palm-sized face, her eyes curved into crescents when she smiled, her eyes were extremely clear: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu walked to the main seat and sat down, his eyes were gloomy, making it impossible to read his emotions: "Ordinary people would be trembling with fear when they are alone with me for the first time, but you are really brave."
Jiang Wange thought, isn't this nonsense? She didn't grow up in the feudal era. Even if she had to be polite to the superiors in order to adapt to this world, her mentality was different from that of the ancients.
On her face, she showed a pure and elegant smile: "The day I first met Your Majesty, I said that we are still as close as ever, and Your Majesty is still as close as ever. Your Majesty therefore agreed to my wish. Since then, I have regarded Your Majesty as my confidant in my heart."
"I do respect your majesty, but I am not afraid of my own confidant."
Jiang Wange is gambling.
Because according to her many years of experience of reading novels, when everyone is afraid of the emperor, there is a woman who is not afraid, and she will definitely succeed in attracting the emperor's attention.
Of course, this degree must be grasped well. If you really dare to be disrespectful to the emperor and shout in front of him, you will probably be dragged out and chopped off in the next second...
The emperor chuckled and said, "You are quite different from the former Concubine Jiang."
Although Jiang Wanning's ending was different from what was written in the book, Jiang Wange had already learned about her experience from Mo Yun.
Of course she wouldn’t be as stupid as Jiang Wanning, otherwise she wouldn’t survive more than three chapters.
Jiang Wange winked at the emperor playfully: "I will take it as your majesty praising me."
At this time, Moyun, Zhiying, Biyi and Yanqing came over with tea and snacks. Each of them had put on exquisite makeup and dressed up gorgeously.
Jiang Wange's face darkened!
Although she did not intend to stop these four palace maids from climbing up, she also did not intend to let them steal her limelight!
She didn't even tell them to, so who let them in on their own? !
Although Jiang Wange was furious, she was not stupid enough to scold the palace maids in front of the emperor. Her eyes just became colder.
The ink rhythm, paper shadow, brush strokes and inkstone emotions didn't even look at her, they all vied to show their most beautiful side in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea!"
"It has been several hours since dinner. Your Majesty has been talking to the young lady for such a long time, you must be hungry, right? You can try this plate of osmanthus cake."
Jiang Wange's face became even darker!
Nangong Xuanyu originally felt that this Mr. Wen had an interesting personality, was well-educated, and was someone he could talk to.
I didn't expect that the palace maids in Yawen Garden were so thoughtful. They almost had the intention of seducing him written on their faces. It was really chaotic!
What? Do they think that he would take a beautiful palace maid as his concubine?
However, he originally wanted to promote Concubine Wen, so it was impossible for him to just walk away at this time.
In the end, Nangong Xuanyu just glanced at Mo Yun and the others coldly: "I don't need you to serve me here, get out!"
Mo Yun bit her lip, feeling somewhat unwilling, but she did not dare to disobey the emperor's order.
The four of them said in unison: "...Yes."
Jiang Wange's mood finally improved a little.
It seems that what the book says is true. Although the emperor likes beautiful concubines, he pays more attention to the inner qualities. Just having a good appearance is not enough for him.
When she comes back, she will deal with these restless palace maids!
Business matters.
Jiang Wange stood up and walked to the window, smiling and saying, "Your Majesty has given me so many gifts, but I have nothing to repay Your Majesty. So I prepared a little gift for you, Your Majesty, please take a look."
As Jiang Wange opened the window, bright sky lanterns rose up slowly, shining like stars in the night sky.
Seeing that Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were attracted, she continued: "I have written a poem, please appreciate it, Your Majesty."
Jiang Wange's voice, as clear as a stream, slowly sounded: "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky. I don't know what year it is in the palace of heaven... People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This has always been difficult to achieve. I wish you a long life, so that we can enjoy the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart."
"Although it's not a full moon tonight, I hope that after entering the palace, I can adapt to the changes of waxing and waning like the moon, and not miss my family too much..."
Jiang Wange is laying the groundwork for future events.
When the emperor really falls in love with her, she hopes he will spare the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for her sake.
After all, no egg will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned. Her identity meant that she would rise and fall together with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Jiang Wange stood by the window, with her long jet-black hair draped over her, and a sky full of sky lanterns as her background. She was so beautiful that she didn't seem like an ordinary person!
But what shocked Nangong Xuanyu even more than her beauty was her talent!
The poem just now, while expressing the feelings of missing relatives, also reveals a bold and free-spirited style. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece of all time!
Even the top scholar in the imperial court might not be able to do it...
Having such talent, but being just a woman, trapped in the harem, it is really a waste of talent!
Even though the emperor had no romantic feelings for Jiang Wange, he really admired her at this moment: "It's so lonely at the top! A person has his ups and downs, and the moon waxes and wanes!"
"If you were a man, you would be my loyal minister!"
Jiang Wange lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise..."
She had long known that using only her beauty and body to attract men would only result in superficial and short-lived affection.
Since Nangong Xuanyu likes her talent, she should use her strengths to win his heart!
The first step went more smoothly than she had imagined!
The second step is to give him a pleasant experience!
Before Jiang Wange traveled through time into the book, she had only had one or two ignorant romances. Although they did not develop to the final step, she was "well-read" and had read many erotic novels.
Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?
The atmosphere was just right now, and she said shyly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, go to bed early..."
Who knows at this time——
Mo Yun gritted her teeth and reported at the door: "Your Majesty, my lady, Caiyi, who is beside Lady Zhou, wants to see you."
She didn't want to ruin the young lady's good fortune, but Concubine Zhou was pregnant with the royal heir, and if something happened, no one could take the responsibility.
