Chapter 839 The Emperor Wants Shen Zhinian to Tell the Truth After Drinking (50 Reward Value)
Nangong Xuanyu looked at her with an imperceptible tenderness: "I remember that when you first entered the palace, you always dressed very plainly, but now your daily attire is completely the opposite."
Shen Zhinian thought in his heart, of course!
When she first entered the palace, she had no power and no background. If she had dressed up all day long, she might not even know how she died.
But now, she has become a true favorite concubine. If she doesn't dress up gorgeously every day, is she going to keep the beautiful clothes and jewelry at the bottom of the box to gather dust?
She entered the palace just to enjoy a luxurious life.
In front of Nangong Xuanyu, Shen Zhinian did not speak out her true feelings, but looked at him resentfully: "It took me a lot of time to dress up like this today. Your Majesty, do you think it doesn't look good?"
Without waiting for Nangong Xuanyu to answer, she lowered her eyes again and pretended to be disappointed: "I have been dressing similarly for a long time. Your Majesty has never said so before, but only now. I understand that Your Majesty is tired of seeing me."
"Humph! In that case, there are so many charming, fresh and elegant sisters in the palace. Your Majesty might as well go to their palaces."
Nangong Xuanyu smiled bitterly: "I just said it casually, why do you think so much about it?"
"In my heart, Nian Nian's simple dress is like a lotus flower emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration. It is like the cool breeze in midsummer, taking away the dry air of summer heat."
"She is gorgeously dressed and charming, and she looks so charming with a smile that all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison!"
"In my heart, everything is the most beautiful."
Shen Zhinian then raised the corners of his lips slightly: "That's more like it!"
Although a man's love words have no credibility, they should go in one ear and out the other. But compared to facing a bitter and vengeful person all day long, who doesn't like to hear nice words?
She raised the wine glass in her hand and raised her eyebrows at Nangong Xuanyu: "I don't care, Your Majesty, drink three glasses of wine first!"
"You, you!"
Nangong Xuanyu sighed: "You are getting bolder and bolder!"
"Look at the entire palace. Who else but you dares to punish me by making me drink?"
Shen Zhinian was not afraid at all, and looked at the emperor with a smile: "That's because I know that Your Majesty loves me deeply. No matter what I do, Your Majesty can't bear to be angry with me."
"Does your Majesty like me to be so cautious and reserved in front of you all day long?"
Nangong Xuanyu couldn't bear it just thinking about it.
If that were the case, he would feel bored and sad at the same time.
Nian Nian should be lively, agile, and free to do what she wants. She should not be like those boring women in the deep palace, like a canary with broken wings and locked in a cage.
In order to keep the woman in front of him like this, he was willing to indulge her.
Nangong Xuanyu picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all: "First glass."
Bingqiao came forward with a wine jug and poured wine for the emperor.
Her dress was no different from that of the other palace maids, but when he got closer, Nangong Xuanyu could smell a faint fragrance from her.
He didn't think too much about it, but subconsciously glanced at Bing Qiao, then finished the wine in the glass again, looked at Shen Zhinian and smiled, "Second glass!"
Bingqiao continued to pour wine for the emperor in silence.
She lowered her head, looking honest and dutiful, but there was a faint smile in her eyes.
Your Majesty just glanced at her a little longer...
Nangong Xuanyu drank it all again: "The third cup."
After three cups, he looked at Shen Zhinian with a smile: "I have punished myself with three cups, is it Nian Nian's turn next?"
Shen Zhinian smiled, covered her face with her sleeves, and finished the wine in the glass.
Fuqiu stood behind her and added to her at the right time.
Shen Zhinian did not drink any more. She looked at the dish in front of her and said, "This roasted bear paw is specially made by me in the kitchen. It is marinated with special seasonings and then slowly roasted over charcoal. The meat is tender and the taste is rich. Your Majesty, please try it."
Nangong Xuanyu did not move his chopsticks, and still kept his eyes on her: "I drank three cups, and Nian Nian only drank one cup. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
Shen Zhinian chuckled: "Your Majesty punished himself by drinking three cups of wine. How can you do the same with me?"
"Besides, Your Majesty also knows that I am a weak woman, how can I compare with Your Majesty's generosity? If I get drunk, how can I wear the Qinghe Liuxian dress Your Majesty gave me and dance for Your Majesty?"
She first praised his huge drinking capacity, then said that she didn't drink too much in order to give him a beautiful dance.
Every word she said was for his consideration.
If it were in the past, Nangong Xuanyu would definitely be fooled by Shen Zhinian's words, but now, he knows this woman too well.
Seeing the cunning light in Shen Zhinian's eyes, Nangong Xuanyu did not let her go: "So what? I am here, even if Nian Nian drinks too much, she will not be in any danger."
"Besides, when the imperial concubine is drunk, she looks even more charming, doesn't she?"
If we continue to refuse, it will inevitably affect the atmosphere.
Shen Zhinian glanced at Nangong Xuanyu with a charming look: "So this is what Your Majesty is thinking."
"If you want to get me drunk, just say so. Why bother finding so many excuses?"
As she said this, she raised the wine glass in her hand and said, "I would like to offer a toast to Your Majesty."
Nangong Xuanyu drank a glass with Shen Zhinian and said with a smile: "Nian Nian has a good alcohol tolerance."
"Continued Cup!"
It is said that men are good at using sweet words to deceive women, but when he looks at the woman in front of him, he realizes that she is the one who is really trying to deceive people to death!
As the saying goes, you tell the truth after drinking.
He wanted to see if this smooth-talking little liar would tell the truth when he was drunk.
Nangong Xuanyu couldn't refuse the kindness.
Although Shen Zhinian's alcohol tolerance is okay, it is still a little inferior to this man.
After drinking one cup after another, her head felt a little dizzy.
In addition, it was already completely dark at this time. It was the moment she had been waiting for. If she drank any more, she would probably be drunk and unconscious. How could she perform?
Seeing Nangong Xuanyu holding up the wine glass again, Shen Zhinian waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good at drinking. I really don't want to drink anymore..."
"I will go back and change my clothes, then dance for you..."
Although Nangong Xuanyu wanted to hear her truth after drinking, he couldn't bear to get this woman drunk. Seeing that she was already tipsy, he shook his head and let her go.
The emperor looked at Handan and Fuqiu and said, "Help your queen well."
The two men responded "yes", supported Shen Zhinian on the left and right, helped her onto the sedan chair, and went to Zhongcui Palace.
Most of the palace servants in Zhongcui Palace had left, leaving only a few people to serve here.
Bingqiao's eyes flickered, and she stepped forward again with the wine jug, and said tenderly to Nangong Xuanyu, "Your Majesty, I will pour you some wine."
