Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 265: Broken Appointment, New Favorite

Then Eunuch Zhou came over and read out the decree.

That is, let Ming Changzai live in Kunning Palace temporarily and be taken care of by Concubine Xian first.

"The Emperor has something else for me to tell you. He will come over for dinner tonight."

Shen Zhishu was stunned.

Why did the emperor want to force the daughter of the Yuwen family into her place?

The side hall is only that big, how many people can live in it?

She was in mixed feelings. After seeing Zhou Defu off, as soon as she entered the room she saw Yu Mingzhu looking at her shyly with a red face.

Compared to herself, she seemed even more uncomfortable.

Shen Zhishu sighed secretly.

"You can stay in the south room first, Bi Tao, and lead the way for Ming Changzai."

What does the emperor think this place is? Could it be that all the concubines with status who are to be canonized are sent here?

"My Lady Consort Xian, Mingzhu heard that your two elder sisters are living here. Can Mingzhu meet them first? Mingzhu has been bedridden for a while and has not learned much about the palace rules. I am worried that if I don't know them, I will offend my two elder sisters and make them unhappy."

But Yu Mingzhu didn't seem to intend to go back just like that.

Shen Zhishu frowned slightly, looking at the innocent face of the little maid.

"Bi Tao, go and invite the two ladies over."

She let her go.

"Thank you, Madam. Before Mingzhu entered the palace, she had heard that Madam Xianfei had the best temper in the palace. It turned out to be true."

Yu Mingzhu smiled brightly and innocently.

"If I am not mistaken, this is the second young lady of the Yuwen family, Qingwan, right?"

Shen Zhishu smiled faintly and turned his gaze to the maid behind Mingzhu.

My second illegitimate sister was selected as a concubine in the palace, but she became a maid? It's really jaw-dropping.

"To answer your Majesty, it is this servant."

"I remember that you were engaged to marry the young master of the Cui family. How come you are here?"

Shen Zhishu asked softly.

Yuwen Qingwan was so frightened that she knelt down.

I'm afraid that Concubine Xian not only remembered that she had an engagement, but also that she had rejected her brother's marriage proposal.

"In reply to your Majesty, I have already called off my engagement with the young master of the Cui family. The reason I entered the palace was to follow my family's arrangements."

She answered quickly.

Every word is true, but after some thought, I feel that it is not quite right.

"Ming Changzai is still young, and her family is afraid that she will be ignorant and upset the people in the palace, so they specially let me accompany her into the palace so that she can be taken care of."

"But isn't it a pity to let the Second Miss only be a maid? I didn't see you on the day of the selection ceremony, otherwise I would have found a way to let the emperor keep your name card."

She sighed, feeling sorry for herself.

Qingwan buried her head even lower as she spoke.

"Mingzhu also felt that this had wronged her second sister. Although the emperor had canonized Mingzhu, his second sister was not included. Originally, Mingzhu wanted her second sister to return home, but Mingzhu was too insignificant to make the decision."

Yu Mingzhu at the side suddenly interrupted, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.

Shen Zhishu was a little surprised, so he stared at the girl for a few more seconds.

Although he is young, he has a lot of ideas.

"It is this servant who is determined to stay by Ming Changzai's side. Please don't misunderstand me, Your Majesty."

At this time, Qingwan also lowered her head and said.

I couldn't see her expression clearly, but from her tone it sounded like she was explaining eagerly.

But these words seemed more like they were trying to embarrass Yu Mingzhu.

So, do these two sisters really have a deep sisterly love?

Shen Zhishu had a premonition that he would see a big drama in the near future.

Afterwards, the two maids arrived soon.

Yu Mingzhu immediately knelt down and saluted, introducing himself.

Shen Zhishu sat quietly beside her and watched her performance.

After a while, Yun Meng looked at her with a surprised expression. She was probably having the same question in her mind as herself.

How come a permanent resident suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

The ladies who were elected that day are still in Lanfang Courtyard, and none of them has won the favor of His Majesty.

And she didn't seem to have any intention of going back immediately. She kept chattering and talking nonsense.

Shen Zhishu vaguely sensed her intention.

Little girl, your goal is quite clear.

She drank her tea calmly. She didn't care even if the emperor would come soon and might see such a scene.

About half an hour later.

Shen Zhishu was waiting so long that he felt a little sleepy. He could still hear Yu Mingzhu and Yun Chang chatting about piano music. Then he saw Eunuch Zhou running in hurriedly with small steps.

There was no Yan Chu behind.

Shen Zhishu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This old servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Concubine."

"My father-in-law is busy today."

Shen Zhishu raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and then made a joke in a relaxed tone.

Isn't it? This is my second trip.

"I am just doing my job, I am sorry to make you laugh."

Zhou Defu was also helpless.

Among the three palaces and six courtyards, this is the place that is visited most frequently, except for the emperor's side.

"So what do you want to say this time?"

"I am here to tell you that I have important matters to attend to today, so I will not be here. Your Majesty wants you to rest as soon as possible, so you don't need to wait."

Zhou Defu lowered his eyes, and his tone was calm.

"Really? That really disappoints me. After all... I've been waiting for so long."

Shen Zhishu himself didn't feel anything.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Yu Mingzhu from the corner of his eye, he was instantly disappointed.

After waiting for so long, the emperor didn't come. Should she be disappointed?

When Zhou Defu saw Concubine Xian looking sad, he sighed inwardly.

"His Majesty still dotes on the Empress, so you don't have to worry."

At least in this palace, up to now, no one can replace the position of Concubine Xian in His Majesty's heart.

But just this one sentence made Shen Zhishu think more.

She looked at him with doubt, but Zhou Defu immediately lowered his head.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

Then he left in a hurry.

"My queen, it's getting late. Mingzhu should go to the South Courtyard to clean up. Please allow Mingzhu to leave."

Not long after, Yu Mingzhu also stood up and left.

He was reluctant to leave just now, but now he can't wait.

Liu Yunshang and Yunmeng also left one after another.

"My lady, I see that Miss Yuwen seems to want to see Your Majesty very much."

As soon as everyone left, Bitao ran to Shen Zhishu and whispered.

So even Bitao could see it, Yu Mingzhu's thoughts were revealed very obviously.

"Eunuch Zhou left in a hurry, and I forgot to give this thing to him. You can deliver it to him."

Shen Zhishu casually picked up a night pearl from the box.

That is a priceless treasure.

It seemed to have been specially selected and planned to be given as a gift a long time ago.

But only Bitao knows how many treasures the Queen has in her hands now.

And can't you send it on another day?

"My lady, is there anything you want to ask?"

Bitao immediately guessed what her queen was thinking.

She is stupid, especially towards outsiders. No one understands her own queen better than her.

"Go and see if His Majesty is really in the Shangshu Palace tonight?"

She had a bad feeling.
