Chapter 830 Will His Majesty Be Favorable?
"What if...what if the master finds out..."
Although the master is far away in Xingyang, if he finds out about this, he will definitely make a big fuss!
Shen Nanqiao sneered: "Don't meddle in my affairs. Just keep your mouth shut."
Lu Jianglin is still not weaned at such an old age. He sticks to his mother all day long and has no sincerity towards her at all.
If that's the case, why can't she befriend Xiu Lang?
Seeing Shen Nanqiao's tough attitude, Luluo lowered her head and dared not speak anymore.
Soon, the two returned to the yard where Shen Nanqiao lived.
Lu Jiangyue was almost getting impatient and finally waited for the person to come back.
She always felt that although she was only a concubine, she was also the woman of a prince. Wasn't her status much higher than Shen Nanqiao?
Shen Nanqiao doesn't like her, so why should she try to please him?
However, this matter was instructed by His Royal Highness Prince Jin, so Lu Jiangyue had no choice but to stand up and greet him with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are back?"
Along the way, Shen Nanqiao was a little nervous, fearing that Lu Jiangyue knew about her and Xiu Lang and came to call her to account.
Seeing Lu Jiangyue's attitude, Shen Nanqiao's heart finally settled back into his chest, and he said "hmm" indifferently.
Perhaps because he felt guilty, Shen Nanqiao could no longer put on a tough attitude in front of Lu Jiangyue. He asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly come to the Mountain Resort?"
Because Lu Jiangyue did that at Zhou's funeral, Shen Nanqiao felt like he was seeing an enemy every time he saw her.
Seeing that Shen Nanqiao's attitude towards her was relatively gentle today, Lu Jiangyue thought that because she had become the woman of Prince Jin, Shen Nanqiao also knew how to curry favor with her.
She felt proud and looked at Shen Nanqiao and said, "My brother and mother are no longer in the capital. I was afraid that my sister-in-law would be lonely, so I came to see you."
Shen Nanqiao didn't believe this.
This Lu Jiangyue is probably like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken!
However, Shen Nanqiao himself was not innocent either, so he did not dare to say anything too extreme.
The two chatted for a while, and when it was getting late, Lu Jiangyue stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going back first. I'll come to see you next time."
"By the way, if you have time, you can visit Prince Jin's Mansion!"
Even if the Shen family’s current status is no longer the same as it used to be, so what?
I’m afraid my sister-in-law has never been to a palace since she was a child.
Lu Jiangyue wanted to show off in front of Shen Nanqiao, and a sense of superiority arose in her heart.
Shen Nanqiao sneered and said, "Only the mistress of the house has the right to invite guests. How can you, a concubine, be the master of the Prince of Jin's mansion?"
The look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Jiangyue was filled with suspicion and sarcasm.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Jiangyue certainly wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
However, Prince Jin gave her confidence!
She smiled at Shen Nanqiao and said slowly, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that although I am only a concubine, I can't help but be doted on by the prince!"
"Not to mention inviting you to my house, even if I want to hold a banquet in the palace, the prince will not object."
"If you don't believe me, just bring the invitation to Prince Jin's Mansion one day and you'll know for sure."
Although Shen Nanqiao pretends to be aloof all day long, she still yearns for wealth and fame in her heart, otherwise she would not have rushed to marry Lu Jianglin as soon as she was reborn.
She had indeed never seen the luxury of the royal palace, and she also wanted to establish a relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is His Majesty's younger brother. Maybe with him speaking for her, her father will allow her to divorce Lu Jianglin.
Then, wouldn't she and Xiulang have a happy life?
Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao's eyes towards Lu Jiangyue were not so cold anymore. The corners of his lips curved up and he said, "Okay, bring her back to the capital. I will go to Prince Jin's Mansion as soon as possible to have tea with my aunt."
Lu Jiangyue nodded with a smile: "Then don't forget it, sister-in-law."
After completing the task, she got on the carriage and returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Fuqiu walked in from outside, and after paying her respects, she leaned over to Shen Zhinian's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, Qiangwei just sent a message from Changchun Palace, saying that Concubine Zhuang seems to be interested in promoting Ruoli, and wants Ruoli to be her favorite."
At this time, Xiao Mingzi also came in and reported the latest news to Shen Zhinian: "Your Majesty, I just heard that the head maid beside Empress Zhuang is dressed very cutely and is waiting to meet Your Majesty in the Imperial Garden."
Although Concubine Zhuang was demoted, she had served the emperor for many years and had assisted in the management of the six palaces. It was not difficult for her to find out Nangong Xuanyu's whereabouts.
Handan opened her mouth slightly and said, "Is Concubine Zhuang thinking of sending her personal maid to the dragon bed because she can't keep His Majesty?"
It was not new in all dynasties for concubines in high positions who were not favored to use young and beautiful women to consolidate their favor. But this was the first time they had seen such a thing since they entered the palace.
Shen Zhinian held the Fourth Prince and coaxed him gently, saying nonchalantly, "It seems that His Majesty finally turned over Concubine Zhuang's card last time, but was snatched away by Concubine Wang in the middle of the process. She was greatly stimulated and even came up with this method."
Xiao Mingzi originally thought that the queen would be unhappy when she heard about this.
Unexpectedly, the queen didn't take this little matter to heart at all.
Handan looked at Shen Zhinian and asked with a smile, "My Lady, do you think His Majesty will favor Ruoli?"
"I see that she doesn't look very bright on weekdays, but her face is indeed outstanding among the palace maids!"
"To men, Ruoli should be more attractive than Concubine Zhuang, who is young but has an old-fashioned temperament."
If she had just entered the palace, Shen Zhinian would have to be on guard at all times, lest others snatch her favor away.
But with her current identity and status, would she still be jealous of a little palace maid?
Whether Nangong Xuanyu favors Ruoli or not, it does not threaten Shen Zhinian's position at all.
She didn't care about it, but instead had a mentality of watching the fun: "Who knows."
"Perhaps Your Majesty has seen too many beauties, both plump and thin, and wants to change his taste."
Compared to this matter, Shen Zhinian was more concerned about whether his enthronement ceremony could be completed smoothly.
Xiao Mingzi immediately said, "My lady, I will go get the news again!"
Seeing this scene, Fuqiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the queen really doesn't love His Majesty at all! Otherwise, how could she be so calm?
In the past, if the Queen was still unmoved by His Majesty’s kindness, she might have felt a little regretful.
But now, Fuqiu only felt fortunate because she saw what happened to Liu Shiqing.
If the Queen falls in love with His Majesty like Liu, she will lose her reason and judgment in love.
I am afraid that the Queen will be further and further away from the position of Queen...
