After the two of them had a good time, Bai Nanyu fell down to sleep, probably because he was tired.

In the next few days, Shen Nianshu would go to bed every day.

The next day.

Bai Nanyu finished his government affairs, he sat on the dragon couch , playing with an exquisite jade cup in his hand, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

She walked up to the emperor and gently put her delicate hands on his shoulders, with a gentle light shining in her eyes.

As she approached, the emperor felt a faint fragrance coming from his nose, as if it was a mixture of the scent of flowers and the scent of a woman's body, which made him intoxicated.

Suddenly, Bai Nanyu became alert, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He put down the jade cup in his hand, gently pushed it away, stood up, and stared intently.

Suddenly, Yun Fei appeared at the door. She lowered her head, her face was pale, and her hands were clenched tightly. It was obvious that she had gone through an inner struggle.

Her maid knelt on the ground and explained in a trembling voice, "My name is Baizhi, and I am the maid of Concubine Yun. I have admired you, Your Majesty, for a long time. I couldn't help but..."

Bai Nanyu 's gaze was as cold as ice. He swept coldly over the palace maid and then fixed on Concubine Yun's face.

He saw her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was under great pressure.

A complex emotion surged in his heart, including anger, disappointment, and a barely perceptible heartache.

Yun Fei took a deep breath, raised her head, and bravely met Bai Nanyu 's gaze.

Her eyes flashed with determination, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said softly, "Your Majesty, it was my fault for not teaching the servants well. Please punish me."

Bai Nanyu 's eyes moved between Concubine Yun and the palace maid. Finally, he spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible coldness in his voice, "It's okay. It's none of your business."

He turned around and his eyes fell on the palace maid again. Although she lowered her head, Bai Nanyu could feel her whole body trembling. He frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

Suddenly, he reached out and lifted the maid's chin, forcing her to look up and look at him. He looked at this face carefully.

Although this palace maid was dressed simply, she had a pretty face and a spiritual aura between her eyebrows.

She has clear and bright eyes and is quite pretty.

Bai Nanyu 's gaze stayed on the palace maid's face for a moment, then slowly moved away.

He turned and walked towards the dragon couch , sat down, and picked up the exquisite jade cup again.

Concubine Yun stood aside, watching the scene with a complicated expression.

Suddenly, Bai Nanyu spoke, his voice calm and firm, "Keep her, and make her Shun Guiren."

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, with endless gratitude in her voice, "Your servant obeys the order, thank the emperor for his grace!"

"Then your Majesty, I will take my leave first. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Bai Nanyu 's eyes. He put down the jade cup in his hand and looked at Yun Fei with deep eyes.

Yun's expression changed slightly. She felt that the emperor's gaze seemed to see through her heart.

"Yun Fei, what do you mean?" Bai Nanyu 's voice was teasing, as if he could see through Yun Fei's little thoughts.

Concubine Yun's heart tightened, and she hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty , I really just feel uncomfortable in my stomach, and I want to go back and rest for a while."

"Okay, let's go back."

Bai Nanyu thought to himself: Concubine Yun , do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just got pregnant and you can't wait to send someone to me , are you so impatient?

Bai Zhi stood up from the ground , looking a little uneasy.

Bai Nanyu 's eyes swept over her.

Bai Zhi walked cautiously in front of Bai Nanyu , raised her head slightly, and secretly glanced at the emperor in front of her.

He had a handsome face and deep eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts. Her heart tightened, and she lowered her head quickly, not daring to look at him again.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, I will undress you."

As she spoke, she carefully untied the dragon robe on Bai Nanyu , her movements gentle and skillful.

Bai Nanyu felt her touch, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. He frowned slightly, but did not speak, just quietly letting her serve him.

Bai Nanyu frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Bai Zhi, and he said lightly, "Wait a moment, let Mammy take you downstairs to wash up first. I am a little unaccustomed to the smell on you."

Bai Zhi's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she felt uneasy.

She looked down at herself and found that she had a thin layer of sweat on her body due to nervousness, which mixed with the smell of the palace maids' makeup and powder was indeed a bit unpleasant.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly knelt on the ground, her voice trembling a little, "Yes, I will go take a bath right away."

Bai Nanyu didn't say anything else, just waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Bai Zhi quickly stood up and hurried out of the room.

In the past few days, Bai Nanyu seemed to be troubled by an inexplicable anger. No matter whether he was dealing with government affairs or tasting fine wine, he could not calm down his inner irritability.

Whenever night fell, he would sit alone on the dragon couch and look at the bright moon outside the window, and the figure of Shen Nianshu would always appear in his mind.

He has seen many beauties, but not many like Shen Nianshu.

"If you didn't get along with me, you wouldn't..."

Bai Nanyu sighed softly.

Feeling a little inexplicably irritable and a little horny , Bai Nanyu went to Shen Nianwan's bedroom.

…

"Your Majesty, won't you stay here tonight?"

Bai Nanyu touched Shen Nianwan's head and said, " Wan'er , I have some important matters to attend to tonight. I'll come with you another day."

Shen Nianwan stood up and arranged Bai Nanyu's robe , her movements were gentle and meticulous.

Her eyes were full of attachment and reluctance to Bai Nanyu, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She knew that she could not keep his heart.

Bai Nanyu looked at Shen Nianwan, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He held her hand and said softly, " Wan'er , I will make it up to you someday."

After hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Shen Nianwan's eyes, but she held back her tears and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I understand. As long as the Emperor can come and see me occasionally, I will be satisfied."

Night falls.

Bai Nanyu stepped into the bedroom, originally just wanting to take a short rest, but he didn't expect the scene in front of him to make him stunned for a moment.

On the bed, Bai Zhi had taken off all her clothes, and her fair skin was glowing alluringly under the moonlight.

Her long hair was scattered on the pillow and her eyes were closed.

An inexplicable emotion surged in Bai Nanyu 's heart.

He lowered his head, his eyes fell on Bai Zhi's perfect body, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Bai Nanyu 's voice, which instantly sobered Bai Zhi, who was originally immersed in anticipation.

She sat up hurriedly, a look of panic on her face, "Your Majesty, I..."

Bai Nanyu didn't give her a chance to explain. He interrupted her coldly, "Who asked you to go to bed?"

His eyes swept across the room, finally stopping on Bai Zhi who was kneeling on the ground.

Bai Zhi's body was trembling slightly. She didn't dare to look up at the emperor's eyes. She could only lower her head and whispered, "Yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to bed without permission."

There was endless fear and self-blame in her voice.

Bai Nanyu didn't say anything else, just looked at her coldly.

Bai Nanyu 's words made Bai Zhi's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

She didn't dare to look up at the emperor and could only bite her lower lip tightly, trying hard to prevent her tears from falling.

The room was silent, with only Bai Zhi's soft sobs echoing in the air.

She knelt on the cold tiles, hugged her shoulders tightly with her hands, trying to resist the chill that was coming over her .

It was dark at night and the palace was completely silent.

The next morning, Bai Nanyu reached out and picked up the clothes beside him and threw them to Bai Zhi casually.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, picked up the clothes with trembling hands, and put them on carefully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't tell anyone about what happened last night, including Concubine Yun!"

Bai Nanyu 's words made Bai Zhi's heart tighten again. She looked up at the emperor, only to see his deep and cold eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes again.

"Yes, I understand." There was a slight tremor in her voice.

Bai Nanyu didn't say anything else, just looked at her coldly, then turned and left the room.

Bai Zhi knelt on the cold floor, feeling mixed emotions.

Everything that happened last night seemed like a nightmare , and she is still frightened.

She was taken back to her bedroom in a sedan chair, and the bedroom was also filled with people of noble status .

However, when the palace servants walked into the room holding exquisite rewards, she couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.

The rewards were dazzling, including precious jewels, gorgeous silks, and special perfumes and rouge made in the palace. Each one showed the emperor's favor.

The palace servants respectfully placed the rewards in front of Bai Zhi one by one, and then left. Bai Zhi was the only one left in the room. She sat quietly beside the bed, her eyes fixed on the rewards.

She reached out and gently stroked a piece of gorgeous silk, feeling the delicate touch on her fingertips.

"Shun Guiren, these two are the personal maids given to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

" Hey , there's a new guy~"

"Isn't this the servant next to Concubine Yun? How can she..."

"What do you mean?" Shun Guiren couldn't help but scold.

"Oh, oh, oh , you think you're so great just because you've received the emperor's favor?" As he said this, he slapped Concubine Shun in the face.

The person who beat the man was Concubine Qi, whose brother was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

"You..." Shun Guiren wanted to fight back, but her legs hurt so much that it was difficult for her to walk a few steps.

She covered half of her face, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

"Noble Lady Qi, what do you mean? When did the palace allow the abuse of private punishment?" Bai Zhi asked coldly , with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her voice.

Concubine Qi didn't care. She chuckled and said sarcastically, "What do you mean? Of course I'm here to show you a warning. Don't think you can walk around here just because you're the emperor's wife. Let me tell you, everyone in this palace is the emperor's woman. Who do you think you are? You're just a lowly thing~"

As she spoke, she took a step forward, reached out and pinched Bai Zhi's chin, forcing her to look up at her.
