Chapter 1032 The sun really rises from the west
Nangong Xuanyu looked at the Fourth Prince in his hand helplessly: "You stinky boy..."
Although he called the Fourth Prince a "brute", there was no hint of blame in his tone and he handed the Fourth Prince over to the wet nurse to be taken away and dealt with.
Nangong Xuanyu also went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
The emperor often came to Zhongcui Palace, so his clothes were naturally prepared here. Shen Zhinian asked someone to find them and send them to Nangong Xuanyu.
As Shen Zhinian's position continued to rise, she had more and more things to take care of. Handan and Fuqiu followed her to share her worries, and their responsibilities also increased.
Therefore, they left some trivial matters to Qiuyue, Xiafeng and others.
Xia Feng is now in charge of the wardrobe.
Just as she was about to deliver the emperor's nightgown, Bing Qiao came up to her and said with a distressed look on her face: "Sister Xia Feng, you have been busy all day and must be tired. Let me do this little thing, and you should take a rest."
When Bingqiao said this, she took the tray from Xia Feng without saying anything.
These days, Bingqiao was very warm and considerate to Xia Feng, treating her like her own sister.
Xia Feng had no relatives in the palace, and unknowingly, his relationship with Bing Qiao gradually deepened.
Seeing Bingqiao caring about him so much, Xia Feng felt warm in his heart and felt a little embarrassed: "How can I trouble you?"
Bingqiao smiled and said, "It's just a small thing, I can do it."
"Sister Xia Feng, you still have to serve the queen tomorrow, so you should rest early. Okay, I'm leaving now."
Xia Feng looked at Bingqiao's back, his eyes full of warmth.
In Zhongcui Palace, there is no intrigue among the palace people. Instead, they help each other.
Who doesn’t feel at home working here?
Bingqiao carried the tray all the way to the outside of the bathroom and bowed to Li Changde: "Eunuch Li, I am here to bring clothes to His Majesty."
Li Changde was already familiar with these palace maids in Zhongcui Palace.
But besides Handan and Fuqiu, the only people who served Concubine Chen closely were Qiuyue and Xiafeng.
Why is it Bingqiao who brought the clothes today?
Li Changde asked casually, "Why are you the one delivering the nightgown to His Majesty?"
Bing Qiao remained calm and said, "Eunuch Li, this matter was originally handled by Sister Xia Feng, but she suddenly felt unwell just now, so she asked me to help."
"Please forgive me, Eunuch Li, and don't blame Sister Xia Feng..."
Bingqiao was about to kneel down as she spoke.
This is not a big deal. Besides, Xia Feng is someone close to Concubine Chen. When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner.
Li Changde didn't care and nodded, "Give it to our family."
Bing Qiao was stunned.
She thought she could deliver the pajamas directly to the bathroom for His Majesty.
Come to think of it, His Majesty is worth a fortune. Apart from the people who serve him closely, how can anyone else approach him casually?
Bing Qiao was not discouraged, nor did she show any abnormality. She handed the tray in her hand to Li Changde and said, "I'll take my leave."
After taking a bath, Nangong Xuanyu returned to Shen Zhinian's bedroom and saw her sitting by the window, still reading the book in her hand.
At this moment, she was wearing a rose-red nightgown, and had taken off all her hairpins and rings. Her long black hair was draped softly. Her face was not made up, and she looked charming and fresh like a lotus flower emerging from water.
Nangong Xuanyu's gaze lingered on Shen Zhinian's pajamas for a moment, and he said casually, "Your pajamas are nice. The style looks quite unique, and the stitching looks fine."
"is it?"
Shen Zhinian looked down and said with a smile: "This is what Concubine Xue made for me. This is the first time I wear it tonight."
Nangong Xuanyu was stunned, feeling that something was wrong.
Xue Fei has been married to him for so many years, but she has never made pajamas for him...
Moreover, he had always known that Concubine Xue was of aloof disposition and rarely went out, not liking to interact with the concubines in the harem. How could she make pajamas for Nian Nian?
The sun is really coming out in the west.
Nangong Xuanyu didn't dwell on this question. He sat down opposite Shen Zhinian, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at? Why don't you rest so late?"
Shen Zhinian said solemnly: "In a few days it will be Ah Xu's first birthday ceremony. I am checking to see if there is anything missing."
Nangong Xuanyu smiled helplessly: "The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are doing things, isn't Nian Nian still worried?"
Shen Zhinian said, "I am relieved, but it is Ah Xu's big day. I am his mother, so I have to confirm every detail."
Nangong Xuanyu stepped forward, took the booklet from Shen Zhinian's hand, and said distressedly: "It's so late now, it will hurt your eyes if you read it carefully. There are still several days left, it won't be too late to read it tomorrow."
Shen Zhinian was indeed a little tired, and yawned and said, "I will listen to your majesty."
Under the candlelight, the charming face of the woman seemed to be covered with a soft halo. Compared with the majestic appearance of the imperial concubine on weekdays, she was less fierce and more gentle.
Nangong Xuanyu was moved by what he saw. He walked forward, gently embraced her in his arms, and bent down to kiss her.
Shen Zhinian turned his head away, avoiding the kiss, and stood up and left Nangong Xuanyu's arms.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at her in surprise: "Niannian, what's wrong?"
Did he do something to make her unhappy again?
At this moment, Nangong Xuanyu had not yet realized that it was Shen Zhinian who had always found various ways to make him happy and win his favor.
He didn't know when it started, but whenever there was any disturbance between the two of them, he would start to reflect on whether he had offended Nian Nian in some way...
Shen Zhinian looked at Nangong Xuanyu with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, don't forget that you turned over the card of the princess tonight. What? Did you think of me because you encountered something unpleasant in Yikun Palace?"
"I don't want to be someone else's backup."
After he finished speaking, Shen Zhinian no longer looked at Nangong Xuanyu. He went to bed and rested with his back to him.
She didn't close the palace gates and chased Nangong Xuanyu away, which was already a consideration for his status as an emperor. He still wanted to be intimate with her? No way!
Nangong Xuanyu: “…”
He was a dignified emperor, and no woman had ever dared to treat him coldly.
If he had placed him in another palace, he would have abandoned the concubines he had chosen and went to their palace instead, perhaps because they would have been too happy to handle the matter.
When it came to Nian Nian, she actually felt that she was a backup candidate and ignored him...
But Nangong Xuanyu didn't get angry at all, and a secret joy surged in his heart.
Because this at least proves that Nian Nian cares about him very much, which is why she is stingy and jealous.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he went to bed and gently hugged Shen Zhinian from behind: "Stingy..."
Shen Zhinian had been dealing with palace affairs for a whole day, and was also busy with the Fourth Prince's first birthday ceremony, and she also had to take him out to play, so she was really tired.
She ignored Nangong Xuanyu and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Listening to the even breathing of the little woman in his arms, the emperor's face was full of a helpless smile.
