Chapter 350 Nangong Xuanyu has a reputation as a tyrant
Everyone in Zhongcui Palace was filled with joy!
Because the master became the Minister of Personnel, the queen is now the daughter of a legitimate first-rank official!
With such a family background, even in a harem full of noble ladies from aristocratic families, it is very noble!
The queen will no longer be looked down upon because of her background. Even the fathers and brothers of many palace concubines have to rely on the master in the court, and they are too busy trying to curry favor with the queen.
Shen Zhinian planned to eliminate the noble lady teaching class only because her interests were consistent with Nangong Xuanyu's. Even she herself did not expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.
"…Why do I feel like my father is getting promoted faster than I am?"
Handan covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Everyone in the court would say that there are so many talented officials, but only the master is entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty time and time again, all because His Majesty values the queen!"
Nanny Xiao sees further.
Your Majesty is... planning for the Queen step by step!
Because if you want to hold a higher position in the harem, being favored is not enough, family background is the most important!
In ordinary families, love is where a man's money is. The same is true in the royal family.
If your majesty truly loves a woman, he will definitely give her dignity, status, and honor! He may even give her son the title of crown prince!
Although His Majesty has many people in his heart, the one he cares about most is their queen!
Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao felt more and more that choosing to be loyal to the Empress was the most correct decision!
Shen Zhinian looked at Yuan Bao: "Did Xiao Huizi tell you how your Majesty is feeling these days?"
She asked this because... although Nangong Xuanyu had more and more real power in his hands, the majority of people in the world were still ignorant.
Seeing that the emperor dealt with so many officials in a short period of time, it almost caused unrest in the court and the country! In the eyes of some people who don't know the truth, isn't it the behavior of a tyrant...
Even an emperor cannot stop the people from talking.
Nowadays, whether in the court or among the people, people are talking about how Your Majesty is ruthless and cruel. He demoted and executed officials without blinking an eye, and is an extremely terrible tyrant!
What Nangong Xuanyu did was obviously a great deed, but those ignorant people only saw the surface. With the reputation of a tyrant on him, he must not be in a good mood, right?
Yuan Bao shook his head: "Xiao Huizi dare not speculate on the emperor's intentions, but when he was serving in the Yangxin Palace, he did not see His Majesty show any displeasure."
Shen Zhinian thought about it carefully and finally understood.
Why would a lion care about a dog barking?
Ever since Nangong Xuanyu decided to eradicate the powerful families, suppress the wealthy families, and promote the poor families, he had expected that he would be burdened with many bad reputations.
Having decided to centralize imperial power, he would not care about the opinions of the world.
At this time, Fuqiu came in and reported: "My queen, the eldest princess is here."
Why did the eldest princess come to Zhongcui Palace?
Although Shen Zhinian had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't possibly refuse the princess: "Please come in."
"Yes!"
The eldest princess came in from outside, wearing a pink palace dress, accompanied by several nannies.
Her chubby little face was filled with a joyful smile. She stood in front of Shen Zhinian and bowed politely: "Yun'er greets Madam Rou!"
"Empress Rou, Yun'er is here to play with you!"
Shen Zhinian was a little surprised.
Concubine Liu has always treated the eldest princess like a treasure and doesn't like her to interact with the concubines in the harem, for fear that someone would have evil intentions and harm her. Why is the sun rising from the west this time?
Shen Zhinian didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."
"Why did the eldest princess come to Zhongcui Palace today?"
The eldest princess said, "Yun'er likes Concubine Rou, so she wants to play with her. Mother agreed, so Yun'er came to find Concubine Rou!"
"Will Yun'er disturb Madam Rou?"
The nanny behind her added respectfully, "Replying to Concubine Rou, the eldest princess met Concubine De in the imperial garden last time. Concubine Gui felt that the eldest princess couldn't be kept under house arrest all the time, so she asked her to come visit you more often."
Shen Zhinian understood.
The eldest princess is at her age, when she is very lively and active. It is impossible for Concubine Liu to stop her from going out.
Compared to the dangerous Concubine De, Concubine Liu trusted her more, thinking that at least the eldest princess would not be harmed for no reason when she came to Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian waved at the princess and said with a smile, "The princess is so lovely. I am so happy to see you. How could I feel bothered?"
The eldest princess remembered that Concubine Rou smelled so good, she couldn't help but lean over and said, "Concubine Rou is the best!"
Shen Zhinian is five months pregnant and her belly is already noticeably bulging.
The eldest princess stretched out her chubby little hand and wanted to touch it, but she was afraid of hurting the imperial brother or sister in Concubine Rou's belly, so she put her hand down.
She looked at Shen Zhinian's belly with curiosity and anticipation: "Empress Rou, Yun'er was the only child in the palace before, and Yun'er felt very lonely."
"I finally have a third brother, but he is still so young and can't play with Yun'er."
"When the baby in your belly is born, Yun'er will have a new playmate!"
"Empress Rou, is this a brother or a sister?"
The eldest princess was cute and had a likable personality. Listening to her soft and tender voice, everyone's eyebrows were filled with smiles.
Shen Zhinian asked with a smile: "Then does the eldest princess hope it will be a younger brother or a younger sister?"
The eldest princess said without hesitation: "Yun'er wants a younger brother!"
Because Empress De said that the reason why the emperor and the empresses liked her so much was because she was the only princess in the palace.
If someone gave birth to a second princess, she would fall out of favor, and the emperor's father would only like the second princess.
She doesn't want to become a poor little girl who is not loved by anyone...
So she hoped that Empress Rou could give birth to a younger brother instead of a younger sister!
Although Shen Zhinian did not think highly of the prince or princess, everyone in Zhongcui Palace hoped that the queen could give birth to a prince, so that her second half of life would be completely hopeful!
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the eldest princess's childish words.
Xiao Mingzi said jokingly: "My queen, I heard that children can sense many things that others cannot. Maybe there is really a little prince in your belly!"
Shen Zhinian shook her head helplessly: "Whether it's a prince or a princess, who can tell now? As long as it's born by me, I like them all."
"If she were a princess as lovely as the eldest, I would definitely treat her as a treasure!"
Hearing this, the eldest princess became even more uneasy.
Is she a bad kid? Otherwise, why do we always hope that there won't be a younger sister to steal everyone's love...
If Empress Rou gave birth to a princess, she would definitely not love her as much as she does now...
Will the emperor forget her too?
She doesn't want to!
