The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Chapter 12: Lady Shen's Bed

In Xianfu Palace, the eunuch from the Jingshifang brought Liu Ma from the palace's bedroom department to congratulate Shen Meizhuang.

"Congratulations, my lady. I'm from the Jingshifang and I'm here to congratulate you. The Emperor turned over your name card tonight. This is the first favor bestowed upon a newcomer to the palace." The eunuch from the Jingshifang flattered Shen Meizhuang.

"I..." Before Shen Meizhuang could say anything, her face turned as red as a ripe apple.

The eunuch in the Jingshifang also reacted when he saw Concubine Shen like this. He hurriedly said, "This is Madam Liu from the Siqin Bureau. Madam Liu will teach you the rules of serving the emperor in the bedroom in a while. After you have finished washing up, the Fengluan Chunen Carriage will take you to the Yangxin Palace."

"You? Just? Okay." The eunuch in the Jingshifang saw that Shen Meizhuang had quietly obtained this favor, so he deliberately wanted to curry favor with her. If he could win the emperor's favor in one fell swoop, and if he could show his face more in front of her, he would surely be successful in the future.

"Cai Yue..." Shen Meizhuang called softly, and Cai Yue understood and walked forward.

He gave some change to the eunuch in the Jingshifang and Madam Liu.

When the eunuch in the Jingshifang saw this, he became even more attentive.

Shen Meizhuang also walked into the bedroom with Nanny Liu from the sleeping quarters.

By the time Shen Meizhuang finished washing up, an hour had passed.

The emperor was lying on the couch reading a book, bored, when Su Peisheng walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is here."

After hearing this, the emperor ordered Shen Meizhuang to be carried in.

After the eunuchs put Shen Meizhuang on the couch, he didn't even dare to look at her. He lowered his head and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

Su Peisheng let down the curtains and quickly retreated to the outside.

The emperor saw that everyone had left, so he freed one hand, lifted the quilt, revealing Shen Meizhuang's rosy cheeks.

As the emperor was looking at her carefully, Shen Meizhuang spoke first, her eyes moving, and she called out in a charming manner: "Your Majesty~"

The emperor was in his prime, how could he resist Shen Meizhuang's charm and attractiveness? He immediately advanced on her, and the room was filled with cheers.

During this period, the emperor called for water twice before he let Shen Meizhuang go.

Shen Meizhuang was so tired that she didn't want to move at all. Looking at the emperor's face and thinking of everything she had just experienced, she shyly hid in the emperor's arms, her cheeks flushed.

"Why are you so shy, my beloved?" the emperor teased in a good mood.

Shen Meizhuang was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.

Upon seeing this, the emperor became understanding and stopped teasing her.

"Go to bed quickly. It's late. You still have to pay your respects to the Queen tomorrow." The emperor reminded.

"Yes." Shen Meizhuang responded softly and fell asleep.

The emperor had not had high expectations, but he did not expect that this Concubine Shen was so much to his liking and that they were compatible in bed.

The emperor fell asleep contentedly.

Early the next morning, Su Peisheng quietly entered the bedroom and called the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

The emperor woke up when he heard the sound and prepared to get dressed. At this time, Shen Meizhuang also woke up suddenly.

Shen Meizhuang followed closely behind the emperor, helping him change his clothes and go to court.

After the dragon robe was put on, the emperor patted Shen Meizhuang's jade hand gently.

"My beloved concubine, you have worked hard. After you pay your respects to the queen, go back and rest early."

After the emperor finished speaking, he stepped out of the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

When Caiyue saw that the emperor had left, she went to the inner room to help Meizhuang dress and put on makeup.

When concubines went to bed with the emperor, they were usually accompanied by personal maids, in case something unexpected happened to the concubine and there was no one to take care of her.

Shen Meizhuang arrived at Jingren Palace early to help the Queen dress up.

When the concubines arrived, Shen Meizhuang was in the back garden, collecting morning dew for the Queen to use to make tea.

So when the concubines came in, they naturally didn't see Concubine Shen.

"If you ask me, the young ladies who have entered the palace still don't know enough about the palace rules. Concubine Shen was favored yesterday, but she is already arrogant today and doesn't come to pay her respects to the Empress. The Empress is too kind." When Concubine Qi saw that Concubine Shen's position was vacant, she hurriedly gloated.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to say that this matter must be severely punished to rectify the palace." Concubine Li also took the opportunity to chime in.

Nian Shilan looked at the two of them who were brainless and jumping around in the palace like monkeys. She couldn't help but think about how she could have let a useless person like Lipin stay by her side in her previous life.

Although she kept despising herself in her head, fearing that in her previous life she must have been a clown and as stupid as a pig in their eyes, she still did not forget to speak sarcastically.

"Look at you two jealous people. You don't have the ability to keep the emperor, but you go and make things difficult for others. What kind of ability is that?" Nian Shilan squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes and looked at Concubine Qi and Concubine Li with full momentum.

Concubine Qi and Concubine Li did not expect Nian Shilan to speak up for Shen Meizhuang. They thought that their words would cause Nian Shilan to cause trouble for Shen Meizhuang. Now it was not easy to say anything, and the whole palace was silent.

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang also entered the hall carrying porcelain. She was a little surprised to hear Nian Shilan speaking for her.

The Queen was so angry that her teeth were about to break. She originally wanted to let the concubines continue to be jealous and embarrass Concubine Shen. When the time was right, she wanted to say a few nice words for Shen Meizhuang, make her grateful to her, and show her magnanimity, but Nian Shilan disrupted her plan.

I could only smile and said calmly, "Mrs. Shen is thoughtful. She came to me early this morning to help me dress. She also collected morning dew for me to use in making tea."

"Noble Lady Shen can make His Majesty happy and relieve his fatigue. His Majesty likes Noble Lady Shen, and so do I. I don't want to hear what you said just now again, otherwise I will never punish you lightly. Did you all hear it?"

The queen's stern voice rang out, frightening the concubines so much that they immediately knelt down and apologized.

"I will follow the Queen's instructions."

Only Nian Shilan sat there indifferently, not cooperating with the Queen's performance at all.

"Okay, I'm tired today. Now that there's nothing else to do, you can all leave." The Queen glanced at Concubine Hua, but didn't say anything in the end.
