Chapter 714: Painting a tiger cannot turn against a dog
After a long time, I fell asleep again last night holding Shen Zhinian.
Although Nangong Xuanyu always had a sense of security, he was always worried about one thing and did not sleep very well.
After the morning court today, the emperor returned to the imperial study, changed into his casual clothes, and then sat on the dragon sedan chair and went to Zhongcui Palace.
Others thought that His Majesty favored Concubine Chen and therefore went to see her again, but Li Changde knew it clearly in his heart.
His Majesty was clearly worried that the Fourth Prince had forgotten him, so as soon as he had some free time, he couldn't wait to go to Zhongcui Palace to take a look.
A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind -
There are only two princes in the palace. According to the favor of Concubine Chen and the Fourth Prince, it is not impossible for His Majesty to make the Fourth Prince the Crown Prince in the future...
Of course, Your Majesty is still so young, it is too early to talk about appointing a crown prince.
This thought only flashed through Li Changde's mind before he suppressed it.
As soon as the emperor's procession arrived at the Imperial Garden, it was stopped by someone.
The woman had almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and looked very pretty and charming.
Seeing Nangong Xuanyu, she showed a shy smile on her slightly red cheeks and bowed: "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
After Shen Zhinian was named Consort Chen, there were many discussions in the palace about why His Majesty doted on her so much.
Many people speculated that it must be because she was the only one with His Majesty in the palace who dared to be so unruly, and maybe His Majesty liked this tone.
Since then, many concubines who rarely see the emperor have been secretly planning. Maybe they can use the same method to get the emperor's attention, or even get his favor!
Many people think this way, but few have the courage and ability to put it into practice.
Qiu Da Ying is one of the best among them.
She used all the savings she had accumulated since entering the palace to buy information from a young eunuch in front of the emperor that His Majesty would pass through the Imperial Garden today, just to bet on an uncertain future.
As long as she can successfully attract His Majesty's attention, she will be rewarded with countless gold, silver and treasures. What will the silver she pays matter?
As the chief steward of the emperor, Li Changde knew all the concubines and ladies in the harem, whether they were favored or not.
At this time, he stood beside the dragon sedan chair and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is Qiu from Lanxin Pavilion."
There are so many women in the harem, with names and surnames, that Nangong Xuanyu can’t even remember them all, let alone an unfavored concubine.
He had no impression of Qiu Da Ying at all, and he was used to seeing the women in the harem racking their brains to create various encounters with him in order to attract his attention.
Nangong Xuanyu was now thinking about whether Ah Xu still remembered him. He had no time to care about Qiu Da Ying and immediately waved his hand.
If it were any other palace concubine, they would have immediately lowered their heads and stepped aside, not daring to block the emperor's carriage.
However, what Qiu promised today was to use a unique method to make a deep impression on His Majesty! Just like when Concubine Chen was favored.
Everyone in the palace is saying that Your Majesty likes unruly women, and it is not difficult to do this.
Thinking of this, Qiu Da Ying raised her head, looked directly at Nangong Xuanyu, and winked at him playfully: "It is fate that I can meet Your Majesty here."
"It's early summer, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. Your Majesty, why don't you do me the honor of enjoying the beauty of the garden with me?"
"Humph! If Your Majesty doesn't agree to my request, I will be very angry!"
Everyone in front of the emperor gasped in shock!
Qiu agreed... They didn't know whether to say she was brave or stupid...
Everyone can see that His Majesty is in a hurry and obviously has something to do. Yet Qiu Da Ying actually dared to obstruct him.
Even Li Changde shook his head secretly.
No wonder Qiu agreed to this until now, but it has always been an unpopular agreement.
Did she think that she was a favored concubine and had the confidence and capital to speak to His Majesty like this...
Qiu agreed at this time and was full of confidence!
His Majesty must be amazed by her courage and uniqueness. He might even look at her with new eyes and call her card tonight.
She knew that there were many people in the harem, and although she understood that His Majesty liked unruly women, none of them had the courage to behave unruly in front of His Majesty.
This is destined to make them live a mediocre life.
And today is the turning point of her destiny!
Little did people know that Qiu Da Ying was indeed good-looking, but the thing the harem had the most was beauties.
Nangong Xuanyu couldn't even count the number of beauties like her.
The emperor did not even look at Qiu Da Ying, but just frowned slightly and said expressionlessly: "Agree to Qiu, for offending the emperor, you will be demoted to an official girl."
Since when did the harem become so chaotic? Anyone dared to act so unruly in front of him.
The smile on Qiu Da Ying's face froze instantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief!
This is wrong!
Didn’t they all say that His Majesty didn’t like women who were old-fashioned and conventional, like Concubine Liang?
She was kind and virtuous, and she strictly followed the palace rules, but His Majesty always thought she was old-fashioned and boring, and basically ignored her.
Even though His Majesty took into consideration that Concubine Liang was the daughter of his mentor and would visit her in Changchun Palace every once in a while, he had hardly favored her in recent years.
Only an interesting woman can attract your majesty's attention.
That's what I did, why, why would His Majesty treat her like this? !
Qiu Da Ying finally felt scared, tears welled up in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I…"
Li Changde quickly signaled to the young eunuch next to him: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and drag Qiu away."
"Yes!"
Immediately, two young eunuchs came forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding Qiu Guan's woman and dragging her away.
The holy carriage continued to move towards Zhongcui Palace.
This episode did not leave any ripples in Nangong Xuanyu's heart.
Li Changde shook his head secretly.
Your Majesty really doesn't like women who are too proper.
Being unruly in certain circumstances is a pleasure between me and Your Majesty.
But there is no relationship between me and His Majesty. If I just jump out and break the rules, isn't that courting death?
Does everyone really think of themselves as the Imperial Concubine Chen?
After the news about the Imperial Garden spread, many people couldn't help but sneer.
There is actually someone as stupid as Qiu in the harem? They really don't know how she survived until now?
Some palace concubines who were as unfavored as Qiu Guan's daughter but were eager to seize this opportunity all gave up their thoughts.
It seems that breaking the rules in front of His Majesty requires not only courage but also skills and abilities.
Otherwise, you will end up with something like a dog instead of a tiger, and end up like the Qiu family...
Everyone just treated the story of an unfavored concubine being demoted to an official girl as a joke and no one took it seriously.
The woman in the palace is most concerned about right now, the one in Zhongcui Palace.
