Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 255 Shen Zhinian uses the Jade Dragon Bracelet to test the emperor

"His Majesty……"

Nangong Xuanyu raised his hand to stop Shen Zhinian from standing up and saluting.

He walked to the bedside, took the essential oil from Nanny Lin, and waved, "All of you go down."

"Yes."

Under Nanny Lin's careful care these days, Shen Zhinian not only has a rosy complexion, but also looks plumper.

Her cheeks were more fleshy than before, but not bloated, and her whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of soft light. Her beautiful eyes, with the corners slightly raised, were charming and beautiful.

"Has the child bothered you these days?"

The emperor sat down beside the bed, poured the essential oil into his palm, and continued to do what Nanny Lin had not finished.

If it were anyone else, they would not dare to bother the emperor. But Shen Zhinian lay comfortably, enjoying his service.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless. In addition to the fact that power is attractive, another reason is that the princes and princesses spend too little time with the emperor.

Little do people know that many relationships in the world need to be cultivated. Even parents and children will become alienated from each other if they are rarely together since childhood.

Therefore, Shen Zhinian wanted her child to receive the emperor's love while still in her belly.

"The heir knows that Your Majesty loves it so much, so he won't bother me. If Your Majesty could come and accompany it every day, it will definitely behave well."

As he said this, Shen Zhinian winked at the emperor playfully.

Nangong Xuanyu's heart was completely swept away, and filled with warmth.

Even though he knew that such a small fetus couldn't feel anything, he still smiled and said, "Okay."

"I will come to accompany you and the child every day from now on."

The emperor had too many things to deal with every day. In the past, when other people were pregnant, he could only see him a few times from pregnancy to delivery. Even when they were giving birth, he might not have time to rush over.

But somehow, he was willing to come and accompany Nian Nian and the children every day.

Maybe in his heart, other people are concubines, but in his heart, Zhongcui Palace... is home.

Shen Zhinian raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Most men think that it is natural for women to give birth to children, and few can understand the hard work women go through.

If the emperor was not allowed to accompany her every day, how could he see how difficult it is for a woman to become pregnant and give birth.

He will be more caring towards her in the future.

Moreover... Nangong Xuanyu felt the royal heir growing up in her belly day by day. He participated in the whole process of the royal heir's development. Shen Zhinian believed that this child must be the most special one in his heart!

She looked down at the emperor applying essential oil to her belly and teased, "Is this your first time doing this? You are quite skilled."

Nangong Xuanyu glanced at her unhappily: "What else? Do you really think that others are as bold as you and dare to let me serve them?"

Although he had never done such a thing, he had watched Nanny Lin apply essential oil to her several times and naturally memorized the technique and strength.

As for why he, a great emperor, would remember this...

Nangong Xuanyu himself couldn't explain it.

Shen Zhinian snorted, "Your Majesty, you are wronging me. You are not serving me, but our child. If Your Majesty is upset, you can wait until the child is born and then settle the score."

"You're the only one who talks so much."

Nangong Xuanyu said helplessly: "Would I still bother with my own child?"

Shen Zhinian spread his hands: "Since your majesty has said so, let's continue."

The emperor shook his head and began to apply essential oil to her thighs.

If any other concubine was served like this by him, she would have been trembling with fear and grateful, but this woman acted as if it was a matter of course.

Yet he still enjoyed it...

Thinking back to when she first entered the palace and carefully tried to win the emperor's heart, and then looking at Nangong Xuanyu's current appearance, Shen Zhinian thought about it... What is this called?

If Jiang Wange were here, she would be able to accurately describe it with an adjective -

The freed serfs sing!

After applying the essential oil, the emperor washed his hands and sat beside the bed to talk to Shen Zhinian.

Shen Zhinian did not forget what he had been worried about, so he asked Fuqiu to take the jade dragon bracelet and pushed it into Nangong Xuanyu's arms along with the box.

"what happened?"

The emperor asked gently, "Nian Nian doesn't like this bracelet?"

Whenever he gave her treasures in the past, he would tell Li Changde the names and ask him to take them from his private vault.

But this time, he personally went to the private vault and searched for a long time before he chose this jade dragon bracelet.

He thought Nian Nian would like it.

Shen Zhinian shook her head: "The jade dragon bracelet is made of rare materials and the carving is exquisite. Especially since it is a gift from your majesty, what woman would not like it? I am no exception."

"only……"

Having said this, she bit her lips gently. The ease and comfort just now disappeared from her pretty face, and was replaced by a hint of uneasiness.

"Although the treasures that Your Majesty gave me in the past were beyond the rules, they could still be said to be a little secret between Your Majesty and me. But this jade dragon bracelet is engraved with dragons and phoenixes, and only the Empress can wear it..."

"Your Majesty gave it to me, but I was too frightened to accept it..."

Shen Zhinian wanted to know what the emperor was thinking.

Nangong Xuanyu was silent for a moment.

Although he was not an extremely rule-abiding emperor, he did not completely disregard the ancestral laws. In the past, he would not have done such a thing.

But somehow, when he saw the Jade Dragon Bracelet for the first time in the private storehouse that day, the thought that popped into his mind was that this bracelet would definitely look great on Nian Nian's fair wrist.

So he asked Li Changde to send it to Zhongcui Palace.

Now that she had pointed it out so clearly, he had to admit that bestowing the Jade Dragon Bracelet on a concubine was indeed too much of an overreach and something that only a tyrant would do.

But... so what?

He is the emperor. Since when has he been bound by rules when giving gifts to the woman he loves?

There is no reason to take back the reward that has been given.

"Don't think too much, Nian Nian. I have given it to you, so just keep it."

Shen Zhinian's eyes flickered.

Nangong Xuanyu's words were ambiguous, and even she was a little confused. What did he mean?

It seems we need to work harder.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shen Zhinian was excitedly holding the box and admiring it. Suddenly, she didn't know what she thought of, and her tone was a little regretful: "Such a beautiful bracelet, but it has to be put aside with me. It's really unfair to it..."

Since she was not the queen, she naturally did not dare to wear the jade dragon bracelet outside, and she even did not dare to let outsiders know that the jade dragon bracelet was in her possession. Otherwise, there would be no peaceful days in Zhongcui Palace from now on.

“…it doesn’t have to stay on the shelf forever.”

There was a dark flash in the emperor's eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
