Chapter 685: Nangong Xuanyu wouldn't want to try something new, would he?
This is the first time that His Majesty has come to Zhongcui Palace after the Queen was promoted to Concubine Chen.
Everyone in Zhongcui Palace was preparing carefully.
Nanny Xiao even ordered the small kitchen to make more delicious dishes.
She and Yuanbao looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes.
When they were first assigned to Zhongcui Palace, the Queen was just a low-ranking concubine. Who could have imagined that one day, she would become the Imperial Concubine Chen?
Until now, there are countless people in the palace who envy them as they work as managing maids and eunuchs in Zhongcui Palace.
Nanny Xiao and Xiao Mingzi couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had chosen to surrender to the Empress in the first place, otherwise how could they have the good life they have now?
In the evening, Nangong Xuanyu arrived at Zhongcui Palace on time.
The palace servants all had festive expressions on their faces, and they saluted respectfully: "Your servants/servants pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Perhaps because he was in a good mood today, Nangong Xuanyu did not walk past them without looking around like he did in the past. Instead, he waved his hand and motioned for them to stand up.
After entering the inner room, he supported Shen Zhinian who was about to perform the ceremony, led her inside, and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already rushing to make the court dress for you to be crowned as the Imperial Concubine."
"I can imagine that it must look very good on Nian Nian."
As he said this, his deep eyes stared at Shen Zhinian without blinking, with obvious tenderness in them.
Shen Zhinian asked curiously, "Rush to make it?"
Generally speaking, the imperial robes for promotion are only worn during the enthronement ceremony. For other major occasions, there are corresponding auspicious robes, formal clothes, etc.
Therefore, the court robes worn by concubines during the enthronement ceremony were mostly passed down from the previous dynasty.
For example, when Liu Shiqing was named a noble concubine, she wore the court dress used by a noble concubine during the previous emperor's reign during the enthronement ceremony.
Nangong Xuanyu took Shen Zhinian by the hand and sat down, patiently explaining: "Nian Nian should know that for the same position, concubines with titles are more noble than those without."
"Since the founding of the Great Zhou, there has never been a noble concubine who was given an additional title. Therefore, your court dress is different from others, so it naturally needs to be made new."
Shen Zhinian nodded in understanding: "So that's it."
Then, she gently leaned her head on Nangong Xuanyu's shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Yulang is so good to Nian Nian..."
"These details, these efforts, will be engraved in my heart forever..."
Nangong Xuanyu's slender fingers gently stroked her cheek, and said in a teasing tone: "Is Nian Nian just thanking you with words?"
"What does your majesty want?"
Shen Zhinian raised her head, looked at Nangong Xuanyu with a smile, and pretended to be distressed: "But everything I have was given by Your Majesty. I really can't think of anything I can give to thank Your Majesty..."
Seeing her serious look, Nangong Xuanyu couldn't help but laugh: "Silly."
"All the good things I do to you are because I like you and want to make you happy. Do you really want me to take something out to thank you?"
"My one and only Consort Chen!"
Seeing the deep affection in the emperor's eyes, Shen Zhinian's heart moved slightly.
Nangong Xuanyu was indeed very good to her...
Shen Zhinian would never let things develop in a direction that was not good for her, including her heart. But in this situation, why not enjoy this moment of tenderness?
The palace maids in the inner room retreated at some point.
Shen Zhinian took the initiative to climb onto Nangong Xuanyu's neck and looked at him with a smile: "Yulang is also Nian Nian's only Yulang, the only one in Nian Nian's life..."
Nangong Xuanyu smiled and said, "Just in this life?"
"Perhaps in the last life, I was also Nian Nian's only one. In the next life, and the next life after that, it will still be the same."
Shen Zhinian smiled and did not explain: "Well, Yu Lang is right."
Looking at her rosy lips, the emperor lowered his head and kissed her.
The kiss was warm and long. Their breathing gradually became rapid and the atmosphere in the room was very ambiguous.
Nangong Xuanyu's big hand began to wander around her waist...
Who knew that at this moment——
"Gululu——"
Shen Zhinian's stomach growled.
Her lips parted from Nangong Xuanyu's, and she looked up at him, without any embarrassment on her face, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you hungry? It's time for dinner."
this woman.
It was obvious that she was hungry, but she had to blame him and said it so confidently.
That's it.
Nangong Xuanyu could imagine how busy she was after the imperial edict came down today to confer the title of Consort Chen on Nian Nian.
He turned his head to look at the door and raised his voice slightly: "Serve the food."
When Aunt Xiao heard the noise, she immediately said, "Yes!"
Delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste were served on the table.
Nangong Xuanyu was most relaxed when he was in Zhongcui Palace, just like returning to his real home. The two of them no longer followed the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping.
The Fourth Prince was also brought over by the wet nurse. He watched his father and mother having dinner beside him, making babbling sounds from time to time.
The atmosphere in the inner room is lively and cheerful, and this scene looks beautiful no matter how you look at it.
After dinner, Nangong Xuanyu held the Fourth Prince in his arms and weighed him: "Why do I feel like Ah Xu seems to have gained weight again?"
Shen Zhinian looked at him with a smile: "Children change every day."
"Besides, the nanny said that it's better for boys to be tough."
"Isn't that right, little Ah Xu?"
The Fourth Prince didn’t know whether he understood what his mother said or not. He grinned and suddenly put his fingers into his mouth and started eating.
Nangong Xuanyu raised an eyebrow at Shen Zhinian: "Niannian, it seems that Ah Xu is hungry just like you."
Why is this man still teasing her after so long?
Shen Zhinian glared at Nangong Xuanyu and asked the wet nurse to take the fourth prince away to feed him.
Then, she ordered Fuqiu to place the exquisite chess pieces on the soft couch by the window, looked at Nangong Xuanyu and asked, "It's still early, Your Majesty, would you like to play a few games?"
The emperor was busy with government affairs and had little time to play chess. In addition, Shen Zhinian was the only one in the palace who could play chess with him.
After hearing what she said, the emperor also became interested and walked to the window and sat down: "Since Concubine Chen has invited me so kindly, I will respectfully obey your order."
Yuanbao and the others also had interest in their eyes.
Of course, there are no fools who can serve His Majesty and His Majesty closely. Although they are not proficient in chess, they know a little bit.
Every time I watch Her Majesty and His Majesty play chess, it feels so exciting!
Li Changde, in particular, felt all his sleepiness disappear in an instant.
Who knew that at this time, the emperor waved his hand and signaled them to go down.
Everyone was stunned.
what?
Your Majesty and the Queen are playing chess, why do you have to send them all out?
Isn’t there a need for someone to serve tea and water?
Shen Zhinian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart...
No one knew this man's bad taste better than her.
Nangong Xuanyu wouldn't want to try anything new, right?
