"My queen can only be you." Xiao Junhe said softly.

Shen Ning sighed and nestled in Xiao Junhe's arms. "Your Majesty... the Queen Mother is organizing a draft. Even if Liu Wanying cannot enter the palace, others will come in. Your Majesty must not resist..."

Shen Ning obviously does not want to share her husband with others, but the palace and the harem complement each other. Only when people enter the palace can there be usable chess pieces on the chessboard.

Shen Ning's eyes were a little red, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Xiao Junhe naturally knew what Shen Ning was thinking. It was only a matter of time before someone new came to the harem.

Before he came to power, he could not give Shen Ning the pair of people she wanted for the rest of her life.

"Ning'er... I won't keep you waiting too long."

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, biting the corner of her lip and looking at Xiao Junhe.

Why is this man... always so nice to her?

Let her...what to do.

"Believe me." Xiao Junhe grabbed Shen Ning's finger and placed it on his heart.

"My place is very small and I can only accommodate you."

Shen Ning's head was buzzing and her heartbeat was speeding up.

I originally thought that Xiao Junhe was stupid and didn't know how to flirt, but how could he flirt... It was so intoxicating, just listening to his voice made me feel like my ears were getting pregnant.

"As long as I am here, you and your child will not be harmed." Xiao Junhe gently placed his hand on Shen Ning's belly that had not yet changed. "If I have to neglect you, I will punish you back later."

Shen Ning smiled and nodded. "I believe you."

Even if... she bets on the wrong person again, even if Xiao Junhe falls in love with someone else in the future, she is not afraid anymore.

In this life, she is here to repay her kindness.

If she and Xiao Junhe are destined not to have a fate, then that is her fate too.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, the new ones laugh and the old ones cry.

She actually... had seen everything clearly in her previous life.

Although Queen Mother Liu Anning is vicious, she is indeed a pitiful person.

She was in the harem...from an ignorant girl to the snake-hearted person she is today. If she wasn't ruthless, she wouldn't be able to survive.

In fact, Shen Ning knew that her father's heart... had always been for Liu Anning.

In his previous life, her father would rather risk the lives of the entire family than... to deal a cruel blow to Liu Anning.

Obviously, her father's abilities are more than that.

Why is this...

…

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the national calendar was changed to winter in the year of the Emperor.

Winter is here, the palace ushered in the first snow and the first big show.

The draft was handled by the Queen Mother, and most of the people who could be sent in were from the Liu family.

As expected, Liu Wanying claimed that she was ill and could not enter the palace, and the Liu family did not force her too much. She obviously wanted to rebel.

Before Liu's daughter entered the palace, the position of queen was temporarily put on hold.

Xiao Junhe can't push Shen Ning to the forefront, the queen... it's not a good job until he can't fully protect her.

"The daughter of the Shen family, Shen Ning, is gentle and virtuous, and is named Concubine Ning."

"Liu Yingying, the daughter of the Liu family, is well educated and sensible, and is named Concubine Ying."

"..."

During the palace election, there were thirty concubines and three concubines, and Shen Ning was one of them.

The remaining two people, one is a branch of the Liu family and the other is the daughter of General Huo.

The Huo family is the mother clan of the three princes and has never participated in any disputes between the DPRK and China. Even General Liu Zhensheng was single-handedly promoted and brought out by the old general of the Huo family.

Therefore, if you have a good status, you must be made a concubine.

The originally deserted harem suddenly became noisy and lively after people came in.

Red walls and green tiles, light snow falling.

In Shen Ning's view, it was a bit desolate.

Since entering the palace, she has not seen her father Shen Bozhong for several months.

After all, she is no longer a little Princess Jin, but the emperor's woman.

"Mother, please be careful if it is slippery in the snow." Shen Ning's pregnant belly was getting bigger and she could no longer hide it.

Half a month after Shen Ning became pregnant, Shen Ning deliberately vomited in front of the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother's people to diagnose her pulse and find out that she had a happy pulse.

This is a great joy. He is the first child and the first prince since the new emperor ascended the throne.

If Shen Bozhong had not been here, the Queen Mother would never have allowed this child to be born.

Liu Zhensheng went to the palace many times for this purpose and reminded the Queen Mother to get rid of the child in Shen Ning's belly.

But this time the Queen Mother insisted on keeping the child, so for the first time there was a dispute and conflict between the Queen Mother Liu Anning and her brother Liu Zhensheng.

Sometimes, conflicts are like floods. At first, water just seeps out, and then the dam gradually collapses.

Shen Ning had been waiting for that day.

Shen Ning nodded and walked a few steps before meeting Concubine Ying.

She is the daughter of Liu Zhensheng's cousin, and is also called the Queen Mother's aunt, but she is just one level lower than Liu Wanying.

"Hey, Concubine Ning is pregnant, why do you still have to walk by yourself? The road is slippery in this snowy weather, what if you fall and knock yourself." Concubine Ying came here unkindly, and spoke with sarcasm.

"Sister, I'm joking." Shen Ning smiled lightly, not wanting to offend the Liu family for the time being.

"Sister?" Concubine Ying was obviously very dissatisfied with this title. "Although sister is the former Princess Jin, now you and I have the same status. I am several months older than you, so why should I be younger?"

"Concubine Ying, seniority in the palace is based on the order of service to Your Majesty. This is the rule in the palace. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, our concubine..." Chuntao guarded Shen Ning angrily.

"I asked you this? Give me a slap in the face!" Concubine Ying obviously wanted to give Shen Ning a blow.

She is from the Liu family. If Liu Wanying does not enter the palace, she is the first choice for the queen. Of course she must give everyone a warning that she has the final say in the harem.

So what if Shen Ning is pregnant, the power is still in the hands of the Liu family.

"Pah!" A slap in the face.

That slap didn't hit Chuntao's face, but... it hit Shen Ning's face.

Shen Ning deliberately stood in front of Chuntao and blocked the slap for her.

Obviously, she did it on purpose.

At this time, the maid next to Concubine Ying was frightened. She was a maid and beat the concubine...

What's more, Shen Ning is still pregnant. If anything happens to the child in her belly, even the Liu family will not protect her as a little maid.

"Your Majesty..." The palace maid took a step back in fright.

"What are you afraid of? It's not your fault that Concubine Ning is willing to take the punishment for your maid. She got the slap on her own." Concubine Ying was obviously stunned as she didn't know what Shen Ning was singing.

"Your Majesty." Chuntao's eyes turned red, she was not worthy of their condolences.

But when he looked up, he saw the emperor sitting on a sedan chair in the distance.

The eunuch carrying the emperor passed by and happened to bump into him.

Xiao Junhe tightened his fingers, looked at Concubine Ying with cold eyes, lowered his voice and said, "Who told me what happened."

Concubine Ying knelt down in panic, and the villain complained first. "Your Majesty, Concubine Ning's maid rushed to my concubine. I am just a small punishment..."

"Punishment?" The emperor's voice was cold.

Shen Ning's figure swayed, and she fell into the emperor's arms...

What a coincidence.

Xiao Junhe was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and saw Shen Ning snickering.

He sighed helplessly, and Xiao Junhe gently played with Shen Ning's hair with his fingers, pretending to be indifferent. "How brave. Concubine Ning is pregnant with my heir. How dare a little palace maid be so arrogant and drag her down?" Go down and beat him to death with sticks."

Xiao Junhe didn't mention Liu Yingying's fault at all, but let her maid be beaten to death. This was already a warning.

"I will send Concubine Ning back to the palace." Holding Shen Ning in his arms, Xiao Junhe motioned to the eunuchs to get up and drive her away.

Shen Ning was snickering, and the two of them cooperated quite well.
