Chapter 572 What a Virtuous Queen Should Have (91 votes plus additional content)

It's obvious that Concubine Hao is trying to make things difficult for you!

Tan'er understood this matter, and Wu Changzai understood it even better.

But what can she do?

Concubine Hao is pregnant with the dragon fetus, so it is not advisable to confront her head-on at this time.

Wu Changzai took a deep breath and lowered her head and said, "Yes. I am willing to serve you, sir."

Concubine Hao was not a cruel person, she just wanted to vent her anger. After she felt relieved, she was too lazy to embarrass Concubine Wu anymore and ordered the eunuchs to carry the sedan chair and leave.

Tan'er accompanied Wu Changzai to pick up pearls.

But time passed by little by little, and the sky was getting dark, but there were still five to be found.

Her hands were red from the cold, and she frowned and said, "My lady, I think I may not be able to find the remaining few..."

"Or...or should we just forget it?"

Wu Changzai sighed and said, "Do you think Lady Hao will give up easily unless all the pearls are found?"

"Forget it, I'll look for it again."

Looking at Wu Changzai's hands and cheeks which were also red from the cold, Tan'er felt so distressed.

The young master's health has just recovered, what if he catches a cold again?

Isn't it because Concubine Hao is pregnant with the heir that she dares to be so arrogant? Concubine Sun is also pregnant, but she is not like her.

The master and servant had no choice but to continue searching.

What happened in the Imperial Garden was not a secret, as there were so many eyes watching. Especially since Concubine Hao was now the focus of everyone's attention, the news naturally spread throughout the palace.

Logically speaking, such a small matter would not be reported to the emperor. However, Concubine Hao and Concubine Sun were pregnant with the emperor's heir, and Li Changde would report everything he knew about their actions to the emperor.

It is normal for women to be jealous, and conflicts among concubines in the harem are even more common.

As long as it's not too outrageous, the emperor won't take it seriously after hearing it.

In Changchun Palace, Ruoli frowned tightly: "My queen, Concubine Hao and Concubine Wu are both your pawns. Why did they start a quarrel among themselves when they didn't agree to deal with outsiders?"

Concubine Liang slowly inserted the three burning incense sticks in her hand into the incense burner in front of her and said gently, "What's the harm?"

The two of them restrained each other so that they could be better used by her.

However, what Concubine Liang said became: "It is normal for Concubine Hao to be in a bad temper during her pregnancy. Concubine Wu's most beloved brother is on his way to be exiled to Ningguta."

"Both of them are in a bad mood, so I can't take sides."

"Ruoli, you can quietly send someone to Shuiyuexuan and Luoying Pavilion later to give each of them a gift to appease them."

Ruoli replied with a "yes", and then said: "My queen, you are so kind to those two troublesome young ladies!"

Concubine Liang smiled and shook her head: "They are young. I am a few years older than them. It is only right for me to give them more advice."

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Sun was talking to Shen Zhinian in the main hall, and the two of them also heard what happened in the Imperial Garden during the day.

Concubine Sun shook her head and said, "Sister Xianfei, I see that Concubine Hao is not the type to get carried away just because she is pregnant. If it was someone else, she would definitely not embarrass him like this."

"It's just that... Concubine Wu took advantage of her misfortune and imitated her to gain favor. It's understandable that Concubine Hao was unhappy when she met him."

Shen Zhinian didn't care about the conflict between Concubine Hao and Concubine Wu. She looked at Concubine Sun's belly and said, "Although you are already more than three months pregnant, you still need to pay more attention."

Concubine Sun nodded, with a happy smile on her face: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Xianfei. I understand."

"I will definitely give birth to a healthy child, who will be the fourth prince's best playmate in the future!"

At this time, Xiao Zhouzi strode in from outside: "Your Majesty, the Holy Chariot has arrived at the gate of Zhongcui Palace."

Shen Zhinian and Concubine Sun looked at each other and immediately stood up to greet the emperor: "Your Majesty, your Majesty..."

Nangong Xuanyu stepped forward to support Shen Zhinian, then waved to Concubine Sun: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's eyes fell on Concubine Sun's still flat belly, and his eyes softened a lot: "How have you been these days?"

Concubine Sun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, with your many rewards and the careful care of Sister Xianfei, I am doing fine."

Nangong Xuanyu nodded: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

Concubine Sun glanced at Shen Zhinian reluctantly, lowered her eyes and said, "Yes..."

The emperor took Shen Zhinian's hand and walked into the main hall, saying softly, "It can be seen that Concubine Sun is well taken care of by you. Nian Nian, you have worked hard."

Shen Zhinian had never thought of doing what Jiang did in the past and not allowing concubines in the harem to have children.

Since it doesn't matter who gives birth, it would be better if your ally gave birth.

However, in front of Nangong Xuanyu, she said something different.

Shen Zhinian raised her charming face and looked at the emperor affectionately: "Actually... what I care about most is not Sister Sun, but Your Majesty."

"Because the baby in your sister's belly is also your majesty's child. I don't want your majesty to worry, so I love her as well as her child."

"As long as it is something that Your Majesty likes and cares about, I will do my best to protect it!"

Looking at her sincere eyes, Nangong Xuanyu felt a surge of extremely complicated emotions in his heart...

It seems touching, shocking and moving.

He couldn't help but think of the time when Jiang was the queen and she killed concubines and harmed the royal heirs.

She never thought that those she killed were also his children!

But Nian Nian and Jiang are completely opposite.

This kind of character is what a virtuous queen should have!

No, no, no! How could he compare that vicious woman Jiang with Nian Nian? This was an insult to Nian Nian!

The emperor embraced Shen Zhinian in his arms and said softly, "Everything that Nian Nian has done for me, I have seen with my eyes and I remember it in my heart!"

Shen Zhinian's lips curled up slightly: "These are all my duties, not worth mentioning."

Of course she had to let Nangong Xuanyu watch and remember! Otherwise, how could she get extra points? When she wanted to ascend to the throne in the future, where would she get more bargaining chips?

The two of them snuggled together and talked for a while, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Nangong Xuanyu touched the hair on the back of Shen Zhinian's head and said softly, "I'll go take a bath first."

Shen Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Fortunately, this man didn't have any bad taste today and went to the bathroom alone, otherwise her waist would really be broken...

Soon, the two of them finished bathing one by one, and their hair was wrung dry by the palace maid.

Looking at Shen Zhinian's clean face, Nangong Xuanyu's eyes darkened, and he turned over and pressed on her...

Shen Zhinian put her arms against his chest, with a hint of resentment in her tone: "Didn't Your Majesty just say that you would let me off today..."
