Chapter 270: Favor and Disfavor
Then she pushed him onto the bed, bent her knees slightly, and untied the belt around her waist.
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Then he tied his hands with straps.
Yan Chu smiled without saying anything. With his eyes covered, he couldn't see his expression clearly.
What happened next is hard to describe even with just the pictures.
That night, Shen Zhishu slept in Yan Chu's bedroom.
And everyone in the harem also knew that the emperor took her to the Shangshu Palace.
That was where the emperor handled government affairs, and concubines were usually not allowed to enter.
But Concubine Xian seems to be an exception.
"There are so many new people in the harem now, why is Concubine Xian more favored?"
After Su Rong knew about it, she was no longer as hysterical as before, but just a little surprised.
"Although there are many people, the only one who really gets along with the emperor and attracts his attention is Yu Changzai."
Qianyue explained beside her.
"The Emperor doesn't seem to have much interest in other young ladies."
They were all beauties, and she didn't understand why the emperor only wanted the virtuous concubine.
"Because deep down, he thinks he is a loyal person, so he won't change his mind so quickly. But... it's only a matter of time. Once he has a new love, he won't be interested in anything Xianfei does."
Su Rong looked like she saw through Yan Chu's true nature as a scumbag.
"So does that mean... just wait and see?"
Qianyue seemed to understand but not quite.
She didn't understand so much logic, she only knew that what the queen meant was that in the end, the emperor would definitely change his mind.
"How long will it take? The more happy she is, the more unhappy I will be."
"If Yu Changzai can attract the emperor's attention, then other people can do the same. If there are more different colors to attract the emperor, he will naturally not care so much about Concubine Xian. Although it will not change his heart in one or two days, there is still a long way to go..."
Obviously Su Rong already has a plan.
But to be honest, Shen Zhishu felt that the emperor was a little clingy recently.
The way he looks at her is always not serious.
So she really couldn't wait for someone to distract him.
Then at this moment, Yuwen Qingwan came to the door on her own initiative.
But she seemed to be forced. When she saw Shen Zhishu, she looked uneasy and nervous.
"If you have something to say, you can speak frankly. I think you and I are destined to be together."
She almost became Cui Zheng's wife, and now she has entered the palace by accident. Who knows if there is some unknown secret hidden in this.
For people like this who can't clearly distinguish between friend and foe, Shen Zhishu always tries to make friends with them first.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I... I didn't mean to disturb your peace, but the Emperor went to the Rain Forest Courtyard today."
Why is it Yu Mingzhu this time?
"Your Majesty, go wherever you want to go."
And what does it mean that Yuwen Qingwan came here to report the news?
"Yes, but Ming Chang is still very young, so I'm afraid she won't stay long. Yu Chang also lives in the Rain Forest Courtyard. She is very ambitious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see what she is thinking about the emperor."
"She is also the emperor's concubine. If she is favored, I should congratulate her."
Now she finally understood.
Yuwen Qingwan came to her to surrender.
But it is unknown whether it is true or not.
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that she will steal your favor?"
"If it is stolen, I will find a way to get it back. As the emperor's concubine, you should have this awareness."
Shen Zhishu didn't care.
"So, Your Majesty will not regard the concubine who snatched away the Emperor as an enemy?"
Yu Wen Qingwan seemed unconvinced and asked again tentatively.
However, Shen Zhishu suddenly found her words intriguing.
Are you here to surrender or to test us?
You are using Yu Wenmingzhu to test my attitude. No matter how I view Yu Wenmingzhu, you can exclude it, right?
She is also the daughter of the Yuwen family, but now she has become a palace maid who is always by his side. How can she be willing?
"As the emperor's women, we are naturally sisters. As long as they are not my enemies, I am willing to get along well with them. In the future, no matter who wins the emperor's favor, I will sincerely congratulate them."
In that case, she would like to see what Yuwen Qingwan will do.
Then that night, she had a rare moment of peace and quiet and went to bed early.
I had a dreamless and sound sleep that night.
But she didn't expect that after this, she wouldn't see the emperor for half a month.
Although rewards were still sent to him from time to time, the emperor seemed to have suddenly become cold.
Don't wait for Shen Zhishu to ask himself.
Bitao has secretly gone to find out the news.
"The Emperor has been really busy lately. He takes time out every day to go to Lanfang Courtyard. During this period, he has met quite a few young ladies."
She cared most about Shen Zhishu's favor, so she became anxious again.
"He doesn't let anyone go."
Do I have to meet them one by one to count?
Shen Zhishu couldn't help but laugh and tease.
"I really don't know what the emperor is thinking."
Bitao has said this countless times.
The emperor's thoughts are not so easy to guess.
Shen Zhishu smiled faintly, shook his head, yawned, and wanted to go back to sleep.
I have been getting more and more sleepy recently.
Yunmeng, on the other hand, was anxious because the emperor was not coming.
So how can we just sit there and wait for death?
Other newlyweds were doing all kinds of things to please the emperor, so if she didn't take action, how would she have a chance to get pregnant?
After spending half a month thinking hard, she finally found an opportunity.
That night, Yan Chu rested in the Zichen Palace.
He didn't go anywhere, just bathed and changed clothes in his own bedroom.
Yunmeng sneaked in quietly wearing eunuch's clothes.
From that day on, she moved stealthily, leaving home late and returning early.
Shen Zhishu probably heard about her whereabouts, but didn't pay much attention to it.
But just a few days later, when the news came out that she would stay overnight in the Zichen Palace and even stay there for two days and one night, she had not taken any action, but the other concubines could no longer sit still.
The two eunuchs from the Rain Forest Palace came to pay their respects to her early in the morning.
"Your Majesty, the two sisters in this palace are really at ease. Didn't they have to greet you in the past?"
Yu Mingzhu's smile was still bright.
Tong Yuer's temperament was more cold and aloof.
It seems that she is only enthusiastic towards the emperor, and is indifferent to everyone else on other days.
"We are all sisters, why should we care about these empty formalities?"
"Your Highness treats Sister Shu as a sister, but she may not think so. I heard that she secretly cares about the Emperor and is willing to do anything to achieve this..."
Yu Mingzhu started to complain directly.
Judging from the tone, he seemed quite dissatisfied.
"Mingzhu, you are still young and inexperienced, so it's better for you not to hear about these things."
Shen Zhishu had a calm expression.
But Yu Mingzhu blushed instantly.
He looked dissatisfied, but helpless.
Because who told her to tell the truth?
She has not yet reached the age of marriage, and even though she is already a concubine, in the end... there is no way anything can really happen between her and the emperor.
It's nothing like Shu Chang being with that old woman, who is so shameless just to get into bed.
