Chapter 646 The one I truly love in my heart is you, and only you
Li Changde just smiled and said nothing.
As a mature eunuch, he had long learned when to remain silent.
The next day.
After the emperor left the court, he went straight to Zhongcui Palace.
However, he unexpectedly met a charming beauty in palace dress on the road to the palace.
Chun Changzai learned the rules very well, and every move she made was so standard that no one could find any fault with it.
She bowed gracefully and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu's gaze fell on Chun Changzai. He almost forgot that there was such a person in the harem.
When he saw her exotic face, he suddenly remembered that this girl was presented by Prince Jin at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.
He asked her to learn the rules from the nanny, but nearly two months passed in the blink of an eye, and she had actually forgotten about the matter.
Thinking of Prince Jin, a gloomy color appeared in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes.
He took Chun Changzai into the harem because he wanted to use her as a breakthrough point to find something to hold against Prince Jin.
Under normal circumstances, Nangong Xuanyu might have the leisure to talk to Chun Changzai.
But now he was in a hurry to see Shen Zhinian, so he didn't have the extra time to pay attention to her. He just waved his hand, signaling Chun Changzai to get up, and let the dragon sedan chair continue to move forward.
Chun Changzai's smile remained unchanged. She bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
After the imperial carriage left, her personal maid Yingxiang showed a trace of worry in her eyes: "My lady, you have been in the palace for so long, you have already learned the rules. But His Majesty seems to have forgotten that there is a person like you in the harem..."
"You haven't entered the bed yet, and many people are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves..."
Yingxiang is the Prince of Jin's person. The implication is that Chun Changzai is out of favor, so how can she work for the Prince of Jin?
Chun Changzai glanced at Yingxiang and asked slowly, "What's the hurry?"
"Don't you have a saying in your Great Zhou that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"
After she finished speaking, she slowly stretched out her hand and brushed her cheek with her onion-like fingers.
It is said that Your Majesty likes charming and attractive beauties.
You can tell by looking at the fact that the most favored person in the harem nowadays is the naturally charming and virtuous concubine in Zhongcui Palace.
Although both are charming types, she has a more exotic charm than Concubine Xian.
Chun Changzai didn't believe that His Majesty would not see her.
She will definitely help His Royal Highness Prince Jin to accomplish his grand plan!
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Li Changde swung his whisk and said, "Your Majesty has arrived --!!!"
The palace servants knelt one after another and saluted respectfully: "Your servants pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu walked inside without looking around.
This time, no one stopped him, saying that the virtuous concubine would not see outsiders.
Nangong Xuanyu couldn't help but shook his head, feeling helpless.
Nian Nian...you really like to be a little bit petty.
He calmed her down and she was willing to see him.
But he couldn't hate her indulgence at all. He was willing to spoil her and pamper her.
Shen Zhinian was dressed simply today, wearing a lavender palace dress with flowers embroidered on the hem.
Her long hair was tied up with only a hairpin and scattered casually behind her head.
Her gentle temperament is also free and easy, giving people a very relaxing feeling.
When Nangong Xuanyu came in, Shen Zhinian had just finished reading the account book in her hand and stood up to salute: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."
The emperor strode over and stopped her: "No need to be so polite."
"Is Nian Nian feeling better today?"
When he asked this question, the mockery in his tone was very obvious.
Shen Zhinian blushed and glared at Nangong Xuanyu: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better now."
Nangong Xuanyu smiled and did not expose her. He just took her hand and sat down on the couch by the window.
Then he waved his hand and said to the palace servants in the inner room, "All of you go down."
"Yes!"
Soon, the emperor and his concubine were the only ones left in the huge bedroom.
Although Nian Nian had calmed down, Nangong Xuanyu felt that there were some things he still needed to explain to her.
The emperor finally met a woman who shared his feelings, and he did not want any rift to arise between them.
"Niannian..."
Nangong Xuanyu organized his words and said, "I know why you were unhappy yesterday, and I also know that you suffered a great injustice."
"But you have to believe me. There is really no place for Liu in my heart."
"I released her from the cold palace because the imperial physician said she was terminally ill from worrying too much. If she stayed there any longer, she would die of depression."
"I don't want to see Yun'er lose her mother at such a young age."
"I know that Liu almost caused your death. Her crime is unforgivable. I only gave her the status of an official lady and imprisoned her in Lixuan Pavilion."
"She won't get in your way anymore, and she won't have the chance to do anything bad to you again."
"Don't be angry with me again, okay?"
Only Shen Zhinian could make a great emperor explain so much to her.
Shen Zhinian has never been an emotional person.
When she learned that Nangong Xuanyu had released Liu Shiqing from the cold palace, she was angry for a moment, but she soon calmed down and rationally analyzed how to take advantage of the emperor's guilt to maximize her benefits.
At this moment, her goal has been achieved, so naturally she won't hold on to it anymore.
Shen Zhinian gently leaned her head on Nangong Xuanyu's shoulder, and her gentle tone was choked with sobs: "I hate Liu for being so cruel and ruthless. She almost made me unable to see Your Majesty again..."
"But I also understand that even though Your Majesty is the most respected person, there are still many things that you have to do."
"In fact, from the beginning to the end, what I cared about was not whether Liu was pardoned or not. What I cared about was whether the one Your Majesty loved the most was me or someone else..."
"I have been favored by your majesty. I am delighted, but at the same time, I am always worried that this is just a dream."
"So I panicked and was afraid..."
"It was not until yesterday, when I saw the letter sent by Eunuch Li, that I realized that Your Majesty has always valued me very much."
"At this point, Nian Nian will die without regrets..."
Nangong Xuanyu was moved and distressed when he heard this. He couldn't help but hug Shen Zhinian tighter: "You are not allowed to say the word 'die'. You must stay by my side forever, for all eternity!"
"Silly Nian Nian, the one I truly love in my heart is you, and only you."
"You don't need to panic, and you don't need to be jealous of anyone, understand?"
Shen Zhinian raised her head and looked at Nangong Xuanyu infatuatedly. A crystal tear slid down her beautiful face: "I only wish your heart is like mine..."
Nangong Xuanyu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but gently kiss away the tears on her face.
He looked at Shen Zhinian with a tenderness that he himself had not noticed. Then he lowered his head and slowly kissed her lips.
