Chapter 284: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (3)
Chapter 284: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (3)
Gu Zhen sorted out her thoughts. It was almost time for dinner. Today was the day when Zhan Linxiao came to the harem as usual. He would be here soon.
"All right, help me wash up. The emperor will be here soon. How can I welcome him in this state?"
Bi Ru paused and looked down. Her mother never liked to dress like this before. She always wore heavy makeup and her beautiful almond eyes were tilted up at the corners, which gave people a weird feeling.
The thick layer of powder on her pretty little face concealed her stunning beauty and made her look a bit vulgar.
Gu Zhen was also looking for a mirror to look at herself. She remembered Zhan Linxiao told the original owner that he loved her flamboyant personality and face, and only this makeup could suit her.
“Hehe…remove my makeup!”
Bi Ru shuddered, not knowing why the Imperial Concubine suddenly lost her temper, but she still got busy with her work swiftly.
She was very good at makeup. In no time, she gave Gu Zhen a light makeup look and put her hair into a simple bun, making her look delicate and lively.
Gu Zhen smiled as her watery almond eyes curved.
Although I really don't want to use the beauty trap on this kind of man, I have to keep his heart first.
Gu Zhen took off her old-fashioned maroon dress and put on a light yellow one. She looked like a young girl before she got married.
While enjoying it, the voice of the outside came.
Gu Zhen's smile faded a little, but then it was replaced by a shy and enthusiastic look, and she went out to greet him with a smile.
"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."
After a perfunctory salute, Gu Zhen innocently walked over and took Zhan Linxiao's arm, with affection in her eyes that seemed to be overflowing.
Zhan Linxiao was not unfamiliar with such expressions and behaviors, but he raised his eyebrows and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
"Why are you dressed like this? You didn't look as good as before."
Gu Zhen sneered in her heart, she was not the naive original owner.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say you like me? Then you must like whatever I wear, right?"
Zhan Linxiao has always been a passionate emperor in front of others. When he heard this, his eyes flickered, but he said, "Naughty, why is the imperial concubine so sharp-tongued today?"
In the past, after hearing this, I would just quickly go into the house and change my clothes.
Gu Zhen sat down next to him, "Just tell me whether you like it or not!"
Zhan Linxiao looked down and saw the girl's face beside him was as flawless as a rough jade, with her long curly eyelashes blinking. Looking down, she had a cute and straight nose and her red lips were slightly pouting, as if she was dissatisfied.
Beautiful, very beautiful, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
But no matter how beautiful she is, he already has Shu'er in his heart.
"I like it. How could I not like the imperial concubine?" If you listen carefully to Zhan Linxiao's voice, you can tell that there is no affection in it.
Gu Zhen would not dwell on this and took the opportunity to talk about his meeting with his eldest sister-in-law today.
Zhan Linxiao's eyes became serious. The war at the front was intense. The imperial concubine's meeting with his family was also to express her appreciation for the Gu family.
I wonder what the knowledgeable and talented lady of the Gu family, who was born in the Wang family, said today?
"My eldest sister-in-law asked about my health and wanted to find a doctor to see if it is easy for me to get pregnant..."
Zhan Linxiao's face looked a little unhappy, but Gu Zhen was even more tender: "The secret between the emperor and this concubine, this concubine has never mentioned it, no matter what the previous dynasty said, this concubine does not care."
"How did they know the emperor's feelings for me? I am still young now. In a few years, when the emperor has cleared the northern war and quelled the civil unrest, I will give birth to a prince for the emperor, okay?"
Zhan Linxiao felt complicated, and absentmindedly half-huggled Gu Zhen to comfort her: "Your Highness is thoughtful, and the one who understands me is you."
Gu Zhen kept saying sweet words to Zhan Linxiao, which made him feel disgusted, but he had no choice but to deal with it patiently.
The two talked for a while, and Zhan Linxiao didn't realize that today he was not listening coldly as he usually did, but was being dragged into the discussion from time to time.
After finishing his meal and lying on the bed, Zhan Linxiao was surprised to find that he felt unexpectedly comfortable being with the imperial concubine today.
He glanced at the imperial concubine with sparkling eyes beside him somewhat awkwardly, and felt that she seemed even more beautiful after removing her light makeup.
In the past, people were worried that the imperial concubine was too beautiful and would sway people. Now it seems that this worry was necessary.
"Go to sleep, I'm tired." Zhan Linxiao closed his eyes, turned over, and his mind was full of Shen Fangshu.
Although his Shu'er was not as stunningly beautiful, she was kind-hearted and loved purely, unlike the other women in the harem who only thought about giving birth to a royal heir and competing for the throne.
Having seen the complex human hearts, Zhan Linxiao only wants the purest love.
In the middle of the night, Zhan Linxiao quietly got up, and without paying any attention to the imperial concubine who was sleeping soundly with even breathing behind him, he went straight back to Qianning Palace.
Shen Fangshu was sitting under the candlelight, embroidering shoes and socks for him. Her face was gentle, and when she saw him coming back, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhan Linxiao's heart softened, and he hugged her and sat down, gently kissing her on the forehead.
Shen Fangshu smelled the fragrance on him and felt a little sad, but also a little sweet.
As a king, he could remain unmoved by so many temptations of beauties and stay by her side every night. Shen Fangshu was content.
"Ah Xiao, I'm so worried that you won't come back tonight."
Zhan Linxiao smiled deeply, his chest shaking. Thousands of words could not be as real as actual actions. He pressed Shen Fangshu down and kissed her deeply.
The two of them had already done it. In fact, late at night every night, they would secretly indulge in love on this dragon bed.
Every night when the original owner thought she was loved, the emperor was kissing his true love passionately.
.
The next morning, as soon as Zhan Linxiao moved, Shen Fangshu got up.
After helping him get dressed for court, Shen Fangshu then settled down to be her chief palace maid.
I just don’t know which wind brought the imperial concubine here.
Shen Fangshu lowered her eyebrows, seemingly respectful, but the respect was not reflected in her eyes. "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine. The Emperor is holding a morning court session. Your Majesty, please..."
Gu Zhen raised her hand slowly to interrupt her, stroked her hairpin, and said faintly: "I know, get out of the way, I will go in and wait for the emperor."
Shen Fangshu wanted to stop her, but after all, Gu Zhen was the most favored imperial concubine in the six palaces and often came to Qianning Palace to accompany the emperor, so she had no right to stop her.
Gu Zhen curled his lips and smiled, looking at the heroine.
She is a beautiful lady with a noble demeanor. If she enters the palace as a concubine and becomes the man's main woman, she will be looked up to by others.
Now this kind of self-righteous attitude makes people look down on you.
It seems that while you guys are hiding behind the shield and enjoying your love, others have to act as a front outside.
Why.
Gu Zhen sat down leisurely. Bi Ru did not ask Shen Fangshu to serve her, but poured tea and served snacks by herself in familiarity.
Shen Fangshu was a senior palace maid, so it was not easy for her to leave without permission, so she stood not far away.
Gu Zhen raised his hand and yawned, looking very sleepy.
Bi Ru understood: "Your Majesty, you must be tired. Last night... the emperor felt sorry for you, so you should also feel sorry for yourself."
