Chapter 1058 How could Nian Nian know that I did not intend you to be the queen (93 reward)
"Compared with your majesty, my little hard work is nothing."
Nangong Xuanyu disagreed with this, and took Shen Zhinian to sit down, gently stroking her cheek: "The universe is orderly, and yin and yang have their own way. Men are responsible for the outside, and women are responsible for the inside. They each have their own hard work."
"I have seen how well Nian Nian manages the harem. How could I ignore your contribution?"
When Shen Zhinian met Nangong Xuanyu's affectionate eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
The male lead outside, the female lead inside.
In a noble family, this sentence refers to the master and the mistress.
In the imperial palace...it refers to the emperor and the empress!
But she was just a concubine.
Was this man's use of this sentence to describe them unintentional or was there some deeper meaning behind it?
Shen Zhinian glared at Nangong Xuanyu and calmly asked, "Your Majesty doesn't care about me at all."
"There were already so many people in the court who were dissatisfied with my promotion. I was terrified and could only work harder to complete every task that His Majesty gave me. It took a lot of effort to make those people change their minds about me."
"Only with you, the Empress, can the world be in order, with the man in charge of the outside and the woman in charge of the inside. How can you put such words on me? If it gets out, they will say that I have thoughts that I shouldn't have..."
Seeing Shen Zhinian's aggrieved look, Nangong Xuanyu felt helpless and distressed.
He held her face, asked her to look at him, and asked seriously, "How do you know, Nian Nian, that I don't want you to be my queen?"
"Plop-plop-"
At this moment, Shen Zhinian could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
But she knew very well that she couldn't make a single mistake at such a time. Otherwise, she would not only lose her chance to become the master of the harem, but she would also end up in an irreparable situation!
After all, emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times. And their suspicion is fatal!
Shen Zhinian suppressed her excitement, pretended to be terrified, and quickly stood up from Nangong Xuanyu's arms, kneeling on the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of coveting the position of queen!"
The emperor really didn't like these women in the harem, and they wanted things they shouldn't have. But he wanted to give that position to Nian Nian!
The emperor stood up and personally helped Shen Zhinian up, looking at her tenderly: "I know that Nian Nian loves me wholeheartedly and doesn't care about her position, but I can't let you down."
"Nian Nian, you are my beloved woman, and you also have the bearing of a mother of the country! Apart from you, who else in the harem is worthy of being the master of Kunning Palace?"
"Don't you want to be a real couple with me?"
When he said this, Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian with a gaze that seemed to contain thousands of stars.
At this moment, he was not the emperor who was high above everyone else.
Just a man who wants the woman he loves to be his wife and stand on high with him hand in hand.
Shen Zhinian's heart was beating like thunder.
Since her rebirth, her biggest goal has been to become the most noble woman in the world!
Wealth and power are what she wants!
But when this day really came, Shen Zhinian felt that it was unreal...
Looking at Nangong Xuanyu's affectionate eyes, Shen Zhinian clenched her hands slightly under her sleeves. The pain of her nails pinching her palms calmed her emotions a little.
Shen Zhinian didn't reveal any flaws on her face. She leaned in Nangong Xuanyu's arms and hugged his waist tightly: "I want to."
"What woman in the world doesn't want to be the wife of the man she loves?"
"Nian Nian doesn't care about the position of Queen, nor does she care about entering Kunning Palace. Nian Nian wants to be Yu Lang's wife, and only wants to become a legitimate couple with Yu Lang..."
At this moment, the emperor's heart was softened.
The rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty were strict, and concubines were not allowed to be promoted without reason. If you want to make a concubine the empress, you must first make her the Imperial Noble Consort, and after a three-year probation period, you can ascend to the throne and rule the country!
Nangong Xuanyu gently stroked Shen Zhinian's cheek and said softly, "This time next year, it will be the once-in-three-years selection. By then, according to convention, the status of the elders in the palace will be promoted."
"I plan to seal off the six palaces on New Year's Eve this year. Nian Nian, wait a little longer..."
This was not a spur of the moment decision; the emperor had considered it carefully.
There were still four months until New Year's Eve, and he shouldn't have revealed the news so quickly. But thinking of all that Nian Nian had done for him and for the Great Zhou these days, Nangong Xuanyu couldn't wait to tell her the good news.
Shen Zhinian couldn't use words to describe the excitement at the moment...
She asked the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department to keep her birthday celebration simple. She encouraged frugality in the harem and sent the saved silver to the front line.
One is to gain a good reputation and have fewer obstacles in the future.
Second, I hope that people living along the border can live a better life.
But Shen Zhinian never expected that it would bring such a huge reward!
The more nervous and excited she was, the calmer her voice became: "Well, Nian Nian believes in Yu Lang and is waiting for Yu Lang."
The emperor felt a sweet feeling in his heart, and he hugged Shen Zhinian a little tighter: "Niannian, I said I won't let you down."
"Since your birthday is going to be simple this year, this is the birthday gift I give you. Do you like it, Nian Nian?"
Even though Shen Zhinian tried hard to restrain himself, his tone still revealed a hint of joy: "I like it!"
She held Nangong Xuanyu's hand, interlocking their fingers: "Nian Nian's greatest wish in this life is to marry Yu Lang and love him without a doubt."
There are still four months left, she can wait!
Nangong Xuanyu lowered his head and kissed Shen Zhinian's lips.
All the affection was melted into this kiss.
At some point, her cumbersome palace dress had been completely removed. The emperor's hot kisses fell on her one after another...
When Shen Zhinian reacted again, Nangong Xuanyu had already carried her into a huge bathtub filled with hot water.
Ripples were rippling in the water, and her body was like a small boat in the sea, rising and falling with the waves...
Shen Zhinian felt like he was about to die!
She held tightly onto the edge of the tub. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind -
It’s better not to call Nangong Xuanyu Nangong Xuanyu, just call him Nangong Yutong!
The next day.
When Shen Zhinian woke up, it was already noon.
Handan and Fuqiu had long been accustomed to not waking the queen when the emperor went to the morning court. Seeing Shen Zhinian wake up, they hurriedly brought in hot water and helped her get up and wash.
Shen Zhinian's body was sore and painful. One could imagine how hard that man had tortured her last night...
But this did not affect her good mood at all.
Handan and Fuqiu both noticed that Shen Zhinian was different today.
Handan asked with a smile: "Your Majesty seems to be in a particularly good mood today, but is there any good news?"
