Chapter 119 The Emperor Asks Shen's Father to Make Shen Zhinian's Mother His Equal Wife
She originally just wanted to arouse the emperor's pity and make him hate Zhou. But in the end, she really fell into sentimentality.
Although her aunt passed away when she was very young, the motherly love she had for her was unmatched by anyone else.
Because she had watched from childhood, my aunt looked forward to my father's arrival every day, but my father had already taken a young and beautiful concubine and had forgotten about her. My aunt was like a withered flower, fading day by day.
Shen Zhinian kept telling herself that she would never follow in her aunt's footsteps and would never believe in men and false love.
Wealth, glory, power and status are what she wants in her life!
The emperor listened to Shen Zhinian's story quietly, and a trace of heartache gradually emerged in his eyes.
Although this young woman has always said that the mistress of the Shen family is a kind person, if that is true, why is the situation of her and her aunt in the back house so difficult?
How could her aunt die at such a young age?
The emperor thought of Shen Zhinian's double-sided embroidery, which was beyond the reach of even the best embroiderers in the palace. If she hadn't practiced hard since she was a child, how could she have such good embroidery skills at her age?
Although young ladies from official families all practiced embroidery, most of them did it just to look good. This young lady's embroidery was so exquisite, could it be that she had to rely on selling embroidery to make a living since she was a child?
Nangong Xuanyu was not favored in her childhood. She knew that even in the royal family, an unfavored prince would have a hard life, let alone a concubine's daughter of a sixth-rank official?
Considering Shen Zhinian's dignity, the emperor did not expose the matter, but felt more distressed for her. Because of the experience of sympathy, he felt a little closer to this little woman.
This time, he promoted Shen Maoxue in the court, and the mistress of the Shen family would also be protected. However, how could a woman with a snake heart and a Buddha's mouth be worthy of a third-rank imperial edict?
Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed across the emperor's eyes. He looked at Shen Zhinian and said softly, "Most mothers in the world have the same heart. Although your aunt is gone, her love for you will always remain in your heart."
"I am going to issue an edict to have Shen Maoxue make your aunt his second wife. From now on, no matter who investigates, you are the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Your aunt has fulfilled her wish and can rest in peace."
In fact...the emperor did this for another reason besides pity for Shen Zhinian.
His biological mother was just a palace maid, and even though she gave birth to a prince, she had never been promoted by the late emperor. Until now, she was only buried in a corner of the imperial mausoleum without any clear reason.
He was nominally the son of Empress Dowager Liu, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion was powerful, and he had just ascended the throne and had not yet firmly established his position. Although he wanted to, he had no way to posthumously confer a title on a woman who had not been recognized by the previous emperor.
Although he would posthumously confer the title of Queen Mother on his biological mother once he was fully grown, the emperor would feel a secret pain in his heart until this task was completed.
Because of this, Nangong Xuanyu wanted to fulfill her aunt's wish for Shen Zhinian. In a sense, this was also a kind of comfort to herself.
Shen Zhinian had the memories of his previous life, so he naturally understood what the emperor was thinking, which is why he said those words just now.
As it turned out, she made the right bet again!
However, in order to maintain his image, Shen Zhinian was very happy in his heart, but his face showed a look of surprise and uneasiness: "But...but this is against the rules..."
The emperor certainly saw her heartbeat, but this little girl had always been self-disciplined and did not dare to do anything against the rules. But he was her husband, so he did not mind pampering her a little more.
"My imperial decree is the rule. Who dares to interfere?"
Shen Zhinian did not refuse any more, tears of emotion welled up in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you are so good to Nian Nian, Nian Nian doesn't know how to repay you..."
The emperor's heart softened: "You are talking nonsense again. Isn't it normal for a husband to be kind to his woman?"
Shen Zhinian had a shy smile on her charming face, but her heart was filled with indifference.
He was her husband, but she was just one of his many concubines. They could never be equal, so how could she dare to be attracted to him?
However... seeing the tenderness in the emperor's eyes, Shen Zhinian couldn't help but have a trace of evil thoughts.
If one day, she really walked into Nangong Xuanyu's heart and made this man fall hopelessly in love with her. Then she told him that she was pretending from beginning to end. How would this man react?
Will he fly into a rage and sentence her to death? Or will he be filled with mixed feelings of love and hate, not knowing how to deal with her?
But no matter what the situation is, Shen Zhinian will not put himself in danger until he is absolutely sure.
Hehehe...it's because she is a black-hearted, selfish and evil woman.
That night, the emperor naturally stayed in Tingyu Pavilion.
This little girl's temperament is as pure and beautiful as the bright moon, but she has a natural charm. Her soft face and figure make any man irresistible.
Such a strong contrast brings a huge impact.
In bed, the emperor could not stop.
Zhou Guiren and Liu Ruyan were both pregnant, so even if Shen Zhinian was pregnant at this time, people would not focus too much on her. The time had come, so Shen Zhinian would naturally cooperate with all her strength.
She put her slender arms around the emperor's neck, raised her head, revealing a section of her fair neck, and said in a voice as gentle as a nightingale: "Your Majesty... Husband..."
The emperor's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, and he almost lost his mind.
There is a vase on the windowsill not far away, with red and white plum blossoms in it, intertwined with each other, you in me and me in you.
The scents of red and white plums mixed together and eventually merged into one, making it impossible to tell one from the other...
Deep in love, the emperor said over and over again: "Niannian, give me a child..."
The strands of hair on Shen Zhinian's forehead were wet with sweat, sticking to her face, making her look even more charming: "Of course Nian Nian is willing. But Your Majesty already has two unborn children, isn't that enough?"
The emperor kissed her earlobe passionately: "Even if they are pregnant, in my heart, they can't compare to Nian Nian. Nian Nian's child is what I look forward to the most..."
If it were any other woman, she would have been moved to the point of being unable to control herself after hearing such touching words. However, Shen Zhinian remained sober from beginning to end.
She didn't think that the emperor's offspring were so few that she would feel more important than the royal heir.
The sweet words a man says in bed are just for listening and should never be taken seriously.
But Shen Zhinian always had a charming smile on her face: "I am also looking forward to having a child with my husband... If I have a child, I will definitely be as brave as my husband..."
