Chapter 565 From the Bedroom to the Bathroom
Chapter 565 From the Bedroom to the Bathroom
Nangong Xuanyu hugged her tightly and ignored the messy clothes on the ground.
He waved his hand and swept all the teacups on the table to the ground, then pulled the cloak hanging next to it and spread it on the table, and then placed Shen Zhinian on the table to prevent her from catching a cold.
The emperor's strong body then pressed down.
Hearing the sound of a teacup breaking inside, Li Changde immediately asked, "Your Majesty?"
But no one responded to him.
He pricked up his ears and only heard an ambiguous sound.
Handan was startled and was about to walk inside: "Could something have happened?"
Li Changde quickly stopped her and said, "Nothing, no need to go in and disturb her."
Handan was puzzled and worried: "But I clearly heard the cup break..."
Could it be that something happened at the palace banquet, and His Majesty didn't punish the Empress openly, but came to Zhongcui Palace to vent his anger?
Why is Eunuch Li still stopping her from entering...
Looking at Handan's clear and stupid eyes, Li Changde shook his head and continued to guard the door like a door god.
Inner room.
Shen Zhinian bit her lips lightly, her slightly red cheeks showing a bit of shyness and embarrassment: "Your Majesty, don't..."
When a woman says "no", is she really resisting or is she just trying to resist? In this case, how can a man not tell the difference?
There was a hint of lust in Nangong Xuanyu's deep eyes, and the dense kisses blocked all the words she was about to say.
On New Year’s Eve, near midnight, fireworks exploded outside.
The sound of festive firecrackers one after another covered up the sound of the shaking table...
The bedroom and bathroom are connected, separated by a large screen.
From the bedroom to the bathroom.
From the table to the bathtub.
That night, the emperor and his favorite concubine seemed tireless.
finally--
New Year’s Eve ends and the Spring Festival arrives.
Shen Zhinian held onto the edge of the tub with her weak arms, looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky outside the window, and reached the peak of pleasure...
The emperor hugged her from behind, and the hot touch came from her back.
He kissed her earlobe and said softly, "Nian Nian, Happy New Year!"
"Year after year, I want you to always be by my side."
This bathtub is three times the normal size, more than enough to accommodate two people.
Shen Zhinian collapsed in the emperor's arms and said tiredly, "Your Majesty, Happy New Year. I am really tired and sleepy..."
"Go to sleep."
The emperor's long hair was also wet, and water droplets flowed down his dark eyebrows, across his angular and handsome face, and finally dripped into the bathtub.
He stood up and carried Shen Zhinian out. After wiping the water stains off her body, he carried her back to the bedroom.
Shen Zhinian's physical strength was really exhausted, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
She thought that this man would let her go tonight as promised, but she didn't expect that some people are really inhumane.
In a daze, Shen Zhinian felt someone holding her ankle, and then put it on someone's shoulder...
According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor would lead the royal family and first-rank ministers to a specially built auditorium to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.
Afterwards, we went to Fengxian Temple to worship our ancestors and pray to the gods to bless the country with prosperity, good weather, and people to live and work in peace and contentment in the new year!
After all the complicated ceremonies, the emperor would go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept congratulations from civil and military officials.
This marks the official start of the new year!
Shen Zhinian entered the palace on the ninth day of the ninth month of the first year of Jingtai, and today is the first day of the first month of the third year of Jingtai.
Maybe she was too exhausted last night, she actually slept until noon...
Hearing Shen Zhinian's voice, Handan and Fuqiu immediately came in with toiletries: "My queen."
Shen Zhinian yawned and asked, "What time is it?"
Fuqiu said, "My lady, it is already noon."
"This morning, Lady Sun and many other ladies came to visit you, wishing you a prosperous new year and leaving gifts."
Handan looked a little uncomfortable.
She heard the sound of teacups breaking last night and thought that His Majesty was angry with the Empress in there.
When His Majesty left this morning, he specifically told them not to disturb the Queen. The Queen was so tired that she just woke up at this hour. What else did she not understand...
Last night, because I was worried, I wanted to come in and take a look, but Eunuch Li stopped me outside without any explanation.
The way Eunuch Li looked at her at that time... he must have thought she was stupid, right?
When Handan thought of this, she wanted to cover her face...
After hearing Fuqiu's report, Shen Zhinian just nodded.
There was no queen in the palace. Empress Dowager Liu was paralyzed in bed and needed to rest, so she specifically ordered that no one should go to the Cining Palace to disturb her.
The person with the highest position in the harem is Shen Zhinian. She doesn't have to get up early to greet or congratulate anyone.
Rules are meant to constrain those of lower status. What's wrong with her sleeping a little longer and letting others wait?
If she doesn’t have the style of a favorite concubine, can she still be called a favorite concubine?
After washing up, Shen Zhinian got up to eat.
Looking at the eight-immortal table filled with food, many images suddenly emerged in her mind, and her expression suddenly became unnatural...
Nangong Xuanyu is an emperor, but he has so many strange hobbies. Does anyone else know?
Fuqiu asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong? Is today's meal not to your liking?"
Shen Zhinian gritted his teeth: "...Nothing."
After lunch, she asked, "How have Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue investigated what happened at the palace banquet last night?"
Xiao Mingzi said respectfully: "Your Highness, the two ladies are still investigating and there is no progress yet."
Shen Zhinian nodded: "It's hard for Concubine Xue. It's so hard to celebrate the New Year."
"Fuqiu, please find the emerald green sapphire hairpin from my storeroom and have someone deliver it to the Yanxi Palace in private."
The reason why they acted low-key was that the people in charge of this matter were Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue, but Shen Zhinian only felt that Concubine Xue was working hard, and if the news got out, it would inevitably give people something to talk about.
Second, she didn't want people to think that this was an attempt to bribe Concubine Xue.
Fuqiu bowed and said, "I understand!"
The nurse came in holding the Fourth Prince, knelt on the ground and said joyfully, "The Fourth Prince pays his respects to the Concubine Xian, and wishes the Concubine Xian a happy new year and all the best!"
Shen Zhinian smiled and stepped forward to take over the Fourth Prince: "Happy New Year to our little Ah Xu too!"
Grow up peacefully.
She will definitely give the position that all princes desire to Axu!
Hearing his mother's voice, the Fourth Prince grabbed one of her fingers with his little hand and grinned, revealing his bare gums.
Although the palace servants have already said many words of New Year congratulations to Shen Zhinian today, who would complain about too many auspicious words on the first day of the new year?
With the nurse bringing the Fourth Prince to pay respects to Shen Zhinian, everyone congratulated again, "Happy New Year, Madam, may everything go well with you!"
