Chapter 698 Nangong Xuanyu is angry
Li Changde stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. It will be very interesting if we go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the moon."
"The Imperial Concubine lives next to the Imperial Garden. Why don't you ask me to send someone to invite her to enjoy this beautiful scenery with you?"
The emperor raised his eyes and glared at Li Changde: "When did I say that I would turn over the name of Concubine Chen tonight?"
Li Changde slapped himself on the mouth: "Yes, yes, yes, you didn't say that, it was all my own decision!"
"But wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a beautiful scene? Your Majesty, why don't you just give me some face?"
Nangong Xuanyu snorted: "Since you said so, considering that you serve me every day, even if you have no merit, you have worked hard, so I will indulge you this time."
Li Changde immediately stepped forward and followed: "I know that your majesty loves you the most!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave Xiao Huizi a look and asked him to go to Zhongcui Palace to ask for help.
His Majesty obviously disliked women in the harem being jealous. But His Majesty was unhappy because Concubine Chen was so virtuous.
Your Majesty, it is clear that... he has fallen in love with Concubine Chen!
Although he had known about this for a long time, Li Changde only realized today that His Majesty's sincerity towards Concubine Chen was far greater than he had imagined...
If His Majesty doesn't see Concubine Chen later, he will be angry.
Xiao Huizi had been with Li Changde for so long that he had become quite clever and immediately trotted away.
On the palace road, the patrolling guards saw the emperor's ceremonial procession and wanted to step forward to salute.
Seeing Li Changde waving his hand, they all stopped and moved away.
Can't you see that His Majesty is in a bad mood now? Please don't disturb him.
"Li Changde."
Hearing Nangong Xuanyu's voice, Li Changde quickly responded and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am here. What do you want me to do?"
Nangong Xuanyu was silent for a long time before he asked the question in his heart: "...If a woman really loves a man, will she actively push him to another woman?"
Of course not for ordinary men and women.
But one of them is the emperor, and the other is the imperial concubine. How can they be viewed as ordinary men and women in the harem?
Your Majesty cannot be so difficult to serve. It is not acceptable for a concubine to be jealous, nor is it acceptable for a concubine to be virtuous.
Right.
If he is not difficult to serve, can you still call me Your Majesty?
Li Changde pondered for a long time before asking, "Your Majesty, do you hope that Concubine Chen will be more virtuous, or do you hope that she will not be so virtuous?"
Nangong Xuanyu said subconsciously: "I would rather she not be so virtuous."
She is so virtuous...it makes him feel upset!
Li Changde shook his head: "But Your Majesty, do you still remember when Liu was the Imperial Concubine and the most favored concubine in the palace?"
"You once said that Liu's biggest flaw is her jealousy and domineering nature. If she can change this bad habit, you will definitely favor her for a longer time."
"If Concubine Chen was not so virtuous and only thought about how to occupy you all day long, what difference would she make from Liu?"
"Will your feelings towards Concubine Chen also change?"
Only Li Changde had the courage to speak such words to the emperor.
Because he can be said to be the closest and most trusted person around Nangong Xuanyu!
Nangong Xuanyu subconsciously wanted to refute, but in the end he found himself speechless...
Li Changde bent down and continued, "When you are in a position, you should do your job."
"As the head of the harem, Concubine Chen has the responsibility to manage the six palaces. I advise you to treat everyone equally."
"Your Highness is just doing her job. If you blame Your Highness Concubine Chen for this, then Your Highness is really wronged..."
Nangong Xuanyu also understood this truth.
He just couldn't control his emotions and felt uncomfortable.
Li Changde quietly glanced in the direction of Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Huizi's pace is too slow. Why hasn't she invited Concubine Chen over yet?
If he doesn't persuade these two idiots tonight, he's afraid he won't have a good life from now on.
Sorrow!
……
Zhongcui Palace.
According to Shen Zhinian's understanding of Nangong Xuanyu, he is very disciplined in most matters.
It was unreasonable that Chun Changzai had not yet served in the emperor's bedchamber after three months in the palace.
Moreover, Nangong Xuanyu should understand that the best way is to start with Chun Changzai and find something to hold against King Jin.
So tonight, he will most likely turn over Chun Changzai's sign.
Shen Zhinian held the Fourth Prince in his arms and coaxed him gently while thinking about what to do next.
Who knew that at this moment, Fuqiu suddenly strode in from outside, with a somewhat subtle look on her face: "Madam, little Huizi is here."
A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Zhilian's eyes.
It’s so late, and Xiao Huizi is not serving in the Yangxin Palace. What is he doing here?
"Call him in."
"Yes."
Xiao Huizi entered the inner room and bowed to Shen Zhinian with a smile: "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!"
"No need to be polite."
Shen Zhinian asked straight to the point: "You come here at this time, but does His Majesty have any instructions?"
Xiao Huizi smiled mysteriously and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he made a "please" gesture and said respectfully: "Please, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen, please move over and follow me."
Without the emperor's authorization, Xiao Huizi would never dare to say such words to Shen Zhinian.
She suppressed her doubts and said, "I will change my clothes first."
Xiao Huizi lowered his head and said, "Yes. I am waiting for you outside."
Shen Zhinian simply dressed up and went out with Xiao Huizi.
Seeing that he was leading the way towards the Imperial Garden, Shen Zhinian became even more confused.
Would Nangong Xuanyu be waiting for her in the Imperial Garden?
What does this man want to do tonight?
Zhongcui Palace was right next to the Imperial Garden, and soon the group arrived at their destination.
Xiao Huizi bowed to the emperor, and following Li Changde's eye contact, he retreated with him.
Handan and Fuqiu looked at each other, and then, very tactfully, they quietly retreated to a distance.
In the blink of an eye, only the emperor and his concubine were left in the imperial garden.
A bright moon hung in the sky, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on the two people, stretching their shadows long and overlapping each other.
Shen Zhinian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"
For a long time, every time the two met, before Shen Zhinian had even finished her greetings, Nangong Xuanyu would stride forward and help her up with his own hands.
But tonight, he just stared at Shen Zhinian quietly, and after a long while he spoke: "...Stand up."
Although his tone was calm and no emotion could be heard, how well did Shen Zhinian know this man?
In just a moment, she knew that Nangong Xuanyu was angry.
Shen Zhinian's mind raced as he quickly analyzed the reasons in his mind.
Is it because...she asked the eunuch from the Jingshifang to persuade him to turn over the name card of Concubine Chun?
