Rebirth of the legitimate daughter: the daily life of His Majesty the Emperor’s beloved concubine

Ana Shen raised his brows, dismissed everyone with one look, and pulled Su Ning'an's shoulder to ask her to look at him, "Didn't we agree?"

Su Ning'an glanced at him, caressed her belly, and moved her shoulders, and Ana Shen Yanzui's hand was sensible enough to let go.

"Slow down." She walked into the pavilion carefully while protecting her. Looking at the black and white pieces intertwined on the stone table, Su Ning'an asked softly: "How is Miss Sheng's chess skills?"

Shen Yanzhuo looked at the chess pieces on the table, and then at Suningan's pretty face that turned pinker due to annoyance.

The little woman, who was obviously very pregnant, could not help but be stunned because of the anger on her face, which suddenly blended into a girlish charm. She was also inexplicably harmonious.

Su Ning'an saw his distant gaze but did not answer. She thought he was reminiscing about the game he had just played with Sheng Yue'er. A sob in his throat turned into water vapor in his eyes, and he raised his hand and swung down the chess pieces on the table.

With a cry, he raised his feet and started to leave.

"An An!"

The palace people waiting not far away were waiting with their eyes lowered, but they couldn't help but tremble when they heard the movement in the imperial garden. They all hunched their shoulders and waited for the emperor's thunderous wrath.

Suddenly, they heard the emperor call out "Concubine" urgently. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, so he could only continue to hold his breath, which made Cuizhu and Ying'er feel even more excited.

"Slow down."

Seeing Su Ning'an about to step out of the pavilion, Ana Shen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, looking at the chess pieces under her steps with lingering fear. "Don't step on the chess pieces, be careful of falling."

Su Ning'an snorted softly, full of squeamishness, "If the emperor really likes Miss Sheng, there is no need to use this method to deceive the concubine, he can just accept her into the palace openly."

Ana Shen was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly. This little ice pick-like temper was getting bigger and bigger.

······

There was a solemn atmosphere in the court hall. Everyone lowered their heads and even breathed extremely carefully.

Only Zhuang Mo stood in the center with his hands hunched over, waiting for the emperor's words.

"You want to marry the princess?" He held the faucet on the armrest tightly, his dark eyes were bottomless, and except for his hand which was caressing the dragon chair irregularly, he no longer showed any emotion.

"Yes." Lifting his robe, Zhuang Mo simply knelt down and said, "Wei Chen wants to marry Princess Jingshu."

A hint of darkness slowly passed through Ana Shen's eyes, the corners of her lips curled up coldly, and she suddenly leaned back very relaxedly, "Ten years of hard work, three years of scientific examinations, and a leap of faith, now Zhuang Aiqing is really willing to let go?"

Zhuang Mo's hands froze and he couldn't help but grab the robe spread out on the ground. His forehead twitched slightly and he lowered his head again, "Wei Chen is willing!"

"Humph!"

Ana Shen snorted coldly, swung his sleeves heavily, and strode away.

When Anli saw this, he felt his scalp tightening and hurriedly shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Retreat from the court!"

Zhuang Mo's heart was heavy, and he couldn't help but tighten his fisted hands. He ignored the looks of disdain or ridicule that fell on him, and then stood up.

Since the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, he took the liberty to go to the princess's house several times, but was turned away every time.

But the rumors never stopped, and every word was directed at Princess Jingshu.

Zhuang Mo didn't know if it was because of this that Princess Jingshu stayed behind closed doors.

But when those words entered his ears, he couldn't bear them.

Zhuang Mo took a long breath and saw Anli waiting outside.

"Eunuch An." Zhuang Mo cupped his hands and clasped his fists, very politely.

"The emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study, Mr. Zhuang, please."

Zhuang Mo's eyelids trembled, he made a "please" gesture, and immediately followed An Li and left.

"What did you say?"

Shen Yudong looked at Yueying in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

"It's true. My servant heard that Mr. Zhuang asked to marry you in the court today. The emperor was furious. Mr. Zhuang has not left the palace yet. The Zhuang family has sent people to inquire about the news several times, but there has been no result."

"Oops!" Shen Yudong bit his lip, "Go and find the key."

While changing clothes, he took the key from Yue Ying's hand, hurriedly opened the cabinet, and held the brocade box in his hands.

"Enter the palace!"

In the royal study

Zhuang Mo knelt on the cold floor, Ana Shen's eyes were cold, and he touched the ring on his thumb intentionally or unintentionally. After a long while, he finally said coolly, "Have you thought clearly?"

"I have thought very clearly." Zhuang Mo kowtowed solemnly, "I am willing to marry the princess, and I am also willing to take up a false position. I have no regrets in my heart."

Shen Yanzui frowned, "So, are you worthy of my cultivation? Zhuang Mo, do you still remember what you said to me?"

"Wei Chen remembers!" Zhuang Mo's eyes were shocked, and he immediately said: "Wei Chen has been living in poverty for many years, but he still wants to reach a high position. He has great ambitions and wants to use his authority to do something for the people of the country. The higher you stand, the more you do. The more talents you get.”

"Hmph! In that case, you still have the heart to let it all be burned down!" Shen Yanzhui slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "Zhuang Mo, who can you deserve to be like this!"

Zhuang Mo's face lost some color and his body swayed slightly, but he still said: "Although Wei Chen has given up on a smooth path, what Wei Chen has learned in his life will not be in vain."

Shen Yanzuo raised his eyebrows and heard Zhuang Mo say: "Although I hold a false position, I hope to serve as His Majesty's staff and use all my life's learning to help His Majesty."

Ana Shen's eyes froze and she pursed her lips in silence, but suddenly she heard someone say from outside: "Princess, princess, you can't go in! The emperor will blame you..."

"Get out of the way and let me in. Mr. An, please, let me see Brother Huang..."

Shen Yanzui and Zhuang Mo looked at the closed door at the same time, "Humph!" Shen Yanzui was stunned, slapped his palm on the table, and said loudly: "Anli, let her in!"

"Brother Imperial!" Shen Yudong lifted up his skirt slightly and hurriedly walked into the imperial study. The brocade box in his hand made Shen Yanzui's pupils shrink.

Zhuang Mo watched Shen Yudong kneel beside him with a pop, and hurriedly saluted the emperor, then turned to look at him, "You said you were willing to marry me, but is it true?"

Zhuang Mo's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her serious eyes. Before he could answer, he heard her say: "I don't need you to be responsible for the copper coins to protect yourself. Rumors are just a matter of a moment. You don't have to worry about this." …”

Zhuang Moqiang calmed down his frantic heartbeat and said solemnly, "Wei Chen wants to marry the princess. Once you make this promise, you will never regret it."

Shen Yudong took a deep breath, was stunned for a moment, and finally raised the brocade box in his hand above his head, speaking loudly without any hesitation.

"My sister is willing to return the gold book and seal given by the late emperor. I request my brother to remove my name from the royal jade certificate and never be a member of the royal family again."

Zhuang Mo's hand trembled, never expecting that she would be like this, and he immediately stopped him, only to see Shen Yudong firmly shake his head at him.

"Brother Emperor, please grant me your permission."

Shen Yanzhui glanced at the gold book and gold seal she held in her hand. This was the only certificate for every official princess in the royal family. If she really handed it over, she would no longer be a princess.

"You should think about it carefully. You will not be allowed to regret being removed from the jade certificate. From now on, you will no longer have royal protection. Even if you marry into a banker, if you are treated harshly and have no natal family to rely on, you will have no choice but to be bullied. Look at Concubine Chen. His mother is a precedent."

The emperor's words were not harsh, they were even gentle, but they made the two of them couldn't help but tremble.

Shen Yudong's hand holding the brocade box suddenly tightened, but when he raised his eyes again, his gaze became even firmer.

"My whole life, I have been at the mercy of others. Even if I want something in my heart, I don't dare to say it. I also want to work hard for myself, even if..." She turned to look at Zhuang Mo, "Even if this bet will cost me." I’ve lost everything, my dear sister, I’m willing to admit defeat! Don’t blame anyone!”

Shen Yanzhui looked at this imperial girl who had been so cowardly that she had no sense of existence since she was a child. She obviously had the temper to be manipulated and crushed by others, and he didn't know where she got the courage to do this.

Such stubbornness in refusing to look back is exactly the same as An An's back then.

Thinking of Su Ning'an, Ana Shen's heart softened a little.

"You don't want to be a princess because you want to fulfill Zhuang Mo's career?"

The tips of Shen Yudong's ears were slightly red, and he nodded, "This is to help Mr. Zhuang, and also to prevent my brother from losing his talents."

Shen Yanzui looked at Zhuang Mo, then at Shen Yudong, and suddenly smiled softly.
