Bai Nanyu frowned slightly, but before he put down the teacup in his hand, he heard light footsteps coming from outside the hall .

He looked up and saw Mr. Shun Gui walking in lightly, wearing a light pink palace dress, graceful and moving.

There was a smile on her face and a bright light in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I greet you." Shun Guiren bowed gently, her voice gentle and pleasant. Bai Nanyu gently waved her hand, motioning her to stand up.

His eyes moved on Concubine Shun, and he wondered in his heart why Concubine Shun was dressed like this today.

Bai Nanyu slightly side-glanced at Shun Guiren, with a tone of confusion and indifference, "What are you doing here?"

When Concubine Shun heard this, the smile on her face froze slightly , and then returned to normal. She walked lightly to Bai Nanyu 's side and said softly, "I heard that the emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, so I specially cooked a bowl of bird's nest porridge, hoping to relieve the emperor's fatigue."

As she spoke, she stretched out her delicate hand and pushed a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge on the table in front of Bai Nanyu . The porridge was fragrant and mouth-watering.

Bai Nanyu looked up at Shun Guiren and saw that her eyes were full of concern and expectation, which made her heart ripple.

He reached out and picked up the bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Bai Nanyu picked up the bowl of bird's nest porridge, and the steam rose up, blurring his vision. He blew away the steam gently and was about to taste it, but suddenly remembered something and stopped.

He turned to look at Concubine Shun, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure this porridge is for me?"

Shun Guiren was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course it's for the emperor, how dare I lie."

Bai Nanyu chuckled, stood up, and walked slowly towards Shen Nianshu's bedroom.

Shun Guiren looked at his back blankly, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Bai Nanyu opened the door of the palace and handed the bowl of bird's nest porridge to Shen Nianshu, " Shu'er , how about you try this porridge?"

Shun Guiren stood there in shock, his eyes closely following Bai Nanyu 's back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. She never expected that Shen Nianshu would live in the emperor's palace.

The door of the bedroom slowly opened, revealing Shen Nianshu's beautiful face. She was dressed in elegant palace clothes, with long hair shawl, like a fairy descending to earth.

Shen Nianshu took the bird's nest porridge from Bai Nanyu and took a sip with a satisfied smile on her face.

Shun Guiren looked at this scene with mixed feelings in his heart.

And now I can see with my own eyes the emperor's love and care for Shen Nianshu.

She couldn't help clenching her fists, her nails digging into her palms, but she couldn't feel the slightest pain.

Shun Guiren was stunned there, his eyes filled with disbelief. She watched the intimate interaction between Bai Nanyu and Shen Nianshu, and the jealousy in her heart surged like a tide.

She recalled that she had tried to get close to Bai Nanyu many times , but was always coldly rejected by him. But Shen Nianshu in front of him easily gained his favor.

Bai Nanyu turned around and glanced coldly at Shungui, who was still stunned. His tone was unquestionable and majestic, "What are you standing for? Don't you know how to salute?"

Shun Guiren hurriedly bowed and saluted, his forehead almost touching the ground, his voice trembling, "I, my concubine, see you, Concubine Shu ."

Bai Nanyu looked at her humble posture, but his heart was not disturbed at all.

He glanced at her lightly, then turned back to Shen Nianshu, as if Shun Guiren was just an insignificant existence.

Shun Guiren raised his head, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed in his eyes. She looked at Bai Nanyu and Shen Nianshu standing side by side, and felt a strong sense of jealousy and unwillingness in her heart.

Shen Nianshu gently put down the bird's nest porridge in her hand. She glanced at Shun Guiren who was still kneeling on the ground, and a coldness flashed in her clear eyes.

She didn't speak, just sat there quietly, with no intention of letting her get up.

Shun Guiren knelt on the ground, feeling that his knees were so numb that he lost all feeling. She raised her head and looked at Shen Nianshu, her heart full of anxiety and uneasiness.

She didn't understand why Shen Nianshu treated her so indifferently, as if she didn't exist at all.

Shen Nianshu's eyes wandered over Shun Guiren, and she seemed to be admiring Shun Guiren 's embarrassed appearance. A sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth, and that smile was full of disdain and ridicule.

Bai Nanyu gently hugged Shen Nianshu's shoulders, and Shen Nianshu turned to Shungui and said, "Your Majesty, this bird's nest porridge is so delicious."

When Shun Guiren heard the words, her heart trembled. She raised her head and saw Bai Nanyu looking at Shen Nianshu with a smile. The doting and tenderness in his eyes made her feel dazzled.

"Starting tomorrow, you will make bird's nest porridge and bring it to Concubine Shu every day for the next month ." Bai Nanyu 's voice sounded again.

Shun Guiren suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and unwillingness. She looked at Bai Nanyu , her lips moved slightly, but in the end she didn't speak.

Shun Guiren lowered her head and replied with a trembling voice, "Yes, Your Majesty." Her heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness, but she had to obey the Emperor's order.

"Just back off."

She stood up slowly, her legs trembling slightly from kneeling for so long. She looked up at the two people in the bedroom, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

Concubine Shun walked out of the bedroom, the anger and unwillingness in her heart were like a burning flame. She bit her lower lip tightly and her face turned pale.

She walked with heavy steps through the long palace corridor, thinking about how to report the matter to the queen.

When she arrived in front of the Queen's Palace, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked in with firm steps.

The queen was sitting on the gorgeous throne, playing with a string of pearls in her hand. When she heard Shun Guiren coming, she raised her head and a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes.

Shun Guiren walked up to the Queen, bowed, then raised her head, with a look of grievance and anger on her face, and told the Queen what had just happened in the Emperor's bedroom, adding fuel to the fire.

Shun Guiren spoke excitedly, his face flushed, as if he wanted to pour out all the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

The queen listened quietly, her face gradually darkened, and the string of pearls in her hand creaked as she squeezed it.

After listening to Mr. Shun's narration, the queen stood up suddenly, with a cold and stern light flashing in her eyes.

"What does she mean?" the queen asked coldly, with an undoubted majesty in her voice.

Upon seeing this, Lord Shun was overjoyed and quickly echoed, "My dear, she clearly doesn't take you seriously! It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Shen Nianshu is so arrogant and domineering. Isn't she provoking you?" Authority?"

The queen sneered, with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Okay, I understand." The Queen spoke slowly, with unquestionable majesty in her voice. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the blooming flowers outside the window, but her heart felt cold.

"I will not let her continue to be so arrogant." The queen said coldly, turning to look at Mr. Shun Gui, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "If there is any movement, report it to me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shun Gui felt a chill in his heart and quickly nodded in agreement. She knew that the Queen was going to take action against Shen Nianshu. Although she felt a little uneasy, she was more expectant and excited. She believed that due to the Queen's methods, Shen Nianshu's good days would not last long.

More than a month later, Shen Nianshu gradually recovered.

The sun was just right on that day, and Shen Nianshu was sitting in the imperial garden, holding a book of poems in her hands, sipping fragrant tea, and enjoying the rare tranquility. Her face had returned to rosy, and her eyes were shining brightly, as if the previous illness had never invaded her body.

The flowers in the courtyard are blooming, and the breeze blows, bringing bursts of floral fragrance. Shen Nianshu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling extremely comfortable in her heart.

Bai Nanyu walked in quietly, and his eyes fell on Shen Nianshu, his eyes full of tenderness and doting .

He stood beside her quietly, looking at her peaceful and peaceful appearance, and felt an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart.

The sun shines on the side of Shen Nianshu's face, reflecting her soft outline. She gently put down the poetry book in her hand and raised her head to look at Bai Nanyu .

"Your Majesty, I'm almost healed now." Shen Nianshu's voice was soft but firm. She stood up and leaned slightly, "I'd better stay back here."

Bai Nanyu looked at her with a trace of reluctance in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold Shen Nianshu, but stopped in mid-air.

" Shu'er , have you really thought about it?" Bai Nanyu 's voice contained a subtle tremor.

Shen Nianshu nodded, her eyes firm and gentle.

She knew that although she was recuperating in the emperor's palace during this period and the emperor took good care of her, she could not always rely on the emperor's protection.

Shen Nianshu's answer made Bai Nanyu feel a little disappointed, but he knew that she had her own persistence and ideas. He sighed softly and nodded.

"Okay, I'll send someone to take care of you." Bai Nanyu 's voice was a little helpless.

He turned around and told the eunuch behind him to make arrangements, but his eyes never left Shen Nianshu. He looked at her, as if he wanted to carve her appearance deeply into his heart.

The eunuchs got busy. They tidied up Shen Nianshu's bedroom carefully, for fear of missing something.

Shen Nianshu was sitting in front of the window, playing with a delicate bead chain in her hand and looking deeply.

Caiwei walked in quietly, with a bit of worry on her face.

"Mother, shall we go to the queen's place tomorrow?" Caiwei asked cautiously, for fear of offending Shen Nianshu.

Shen Nianshu raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"Go, why don't you go?" She smiled slightly and gently put down the bead necklace, "The queen summons us, why don't we go?"

The second day.

Shen Nianshu stood up, walked to the mirror, and began to dress up carefully.

Caiwei stood aside, holding various hair accessories and beads in her hands, hesitating which one to choose for Shen Nianshu. She turned to look at Shen Nianshu and asked softly, "My dear, do you want something simple?"

Shen Nianshu tilted her head slightly, a gleam of intelligence flashed in her eyes. She shook her head slightly, pointed to a box of hair accessories inlaid with pearls and gems, and said, "Let's choose this set today."

Caiwei was a little surprised. This set of hair accessories was gorgeous and eye-catching, which was very different from Shen Nianshu's usual low-key and restrained style. But she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded obediently and began to comb Shen Nianshu's long hair and put on the hair accessories one by one.

Shen Nianshu in the mirror has a picturesque face and noble temperament. The gorgeous hair accessories complemented her temperament and made her even more charming.

Shen Nianshu looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, gently stroked her hair accessories, and raised a confident smile on her lips.

After Shen Nianshu arrived, she found that there were many new people around.

Shen Nianshu was chatting with everyone when she suddenly heard a high-pitched announcement, "The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone immediately stopped talking, stood up one after another, and faced the direction of the palace door. Shen Nianshu also stood up and looked at the palace door calmly.

I saw the Queen slowly walking into the palace, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, she looked noble and majestic with every step she took. Her eyes glanced around the hall, and finally landed on Shen Nianshu, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

Shen Nianshu bowed slightly and performed a standard palace ceremony. Her voice was crisp and respectful, "I see you, the queen, and she may live a thousand years."

The Empress nodded slightly, her eyes swept over everyone one by one , and finally landed on Shen Nianshu, the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile.

"Everyone else, please get up. You, kneel down." The Queen's voice was cold and majestic, as if it carried an irresistible force.

Shen Nianshu's heart trembled , but her face remained calm. She slowly knelt down, lowered her head, and respectfully waited for the Queen's next words.

The Queen slowly walked up to Shen Nianshu and looked at her condescendingly, the light in her eyes flickering. She stretched out her fingers and gently raised Shen Nianshu's chin, forcing her to raise her head to look at her.

"Shen Nianshu, do you know your guilt?" The Queen's voice was cold and sharp, as if she wanted to see through Shen Nianshu's heart.

Shen Nianshu raised her head and met the Queen's sharp gaze. There was no fear in her eyes, but a firmness and calmness in her eyes.

"I don't know where I went wrong. Please make it clear to the Queen." Shen Nianshu's voice was clear and firm. She raised her head slightly and looked directly into the Queen's eyes.

The Queen was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect Shen Nianshu to ask her such a direct question. She squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Nianshu carefully, trying to discern any clues from her face.

However, there was no other expression on Shen Nianshu's face except determination and calmness. She knelt there quietly, waiting for the queen's response.

A trace of displeasure flashed in the Queen's eyes. She snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the main seat in the palace to sit down. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Shen Nianshu knew that the queen just wanted her to make a fool of herself in public!

"Shen Nianshu, you are so brave!" The Queen suddenly shouted sharply and placed the tea cup heavily on the table. The tea splashed out and wet the table.

Shen Nianshu was still kneeling there, with her back straight and motionless as a mountain. She raised her head slightly and looked at the Queen calmly without flinching at all.

When the Queen saw this, she became even more angry. She stood up, walked to Shen Nianshu, raised her hand and slapped him.

"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded in the hall, and Shen Nianshu's cheeks instantly became red and swollen.

The Queen's strength was so great that Shen Nianshu felt a burning pain on her face, but she gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to cry out in pain.

She raised her head, eyes shining with unyielding light, and looked directly at the Queen.
