Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

What is more important is not to touch upon the hidden meaning in the mind of the supreme elder too early.

"Let's not act hastily. Go find out the details about the Shen family's daughter first. I'll find a chance to go to the palace and find out who's really behind this. If the emperor's uncle doesn't approve of this union, we'll have to prepare a countermeasure in advance."

In order to maintain the delicate balance between them as much as possible, King Xian'an always behaves with extreme caution when faced with choices that may touch the other party's bottom line.

Of course, this was not the emperor's own work. Without exception, those who were punished were because they had angered Concubine Xie.

Concubine Xie was of humble origin and was originally just a commoner's daughter.

If she didn't have the strong support of the emperor, how could she possibly interfere in state affairs?

For five consecutive years, this concubine monopolized the favor of the harem and made indelible contributions to the emperor in eliminating dissidents.

As a result, everyone thought she was the trouble in the harem, and even disturbed the peace of the court.

On the contrary, the supreme emperor was regarded as a benevolent and generous ruler.

Whenever King Xian'an thought of these things, he would secretly admire the emperor's skill in manipulating power.

In the future, when he is in power, he is determined to find a favorite concubine he can rely on, who can help him deal with those ministers who are thorns in his eyes and thorns in his body, and can also serve as a scapegoat.

……

A few days later, the Xie family held a grand party, and Wang brought the two young ladies, Mu Xue and Yu Wei, into the Xie family.

Once upon a time, the now-powerful Concubine Xie was just a small maid serving the monarch, and her family was extremely poor.

Looking back at the days when the princes fought endlessly for the throne, the current Empress Dowager had also experienced being imprisoned and neglected.

During those difficult years, it was Xie who accompanied the future emperor through the difficult times.

When he ascended the throne, he resolutely appointed the humble Xie as Consort Xie despite the opposition of his ministers.

From then on, the entire palace, inside and outside, was shrouded in his personal charm.

Even the queen lost her throne for offending her.

The entire Xie clan prospered as a result.

Anyone who wins the favor of Concubine Xie will be able to rise to a high position; otherwise, they may be imprisoned in an instant.

Especially her nephew named Xie Jing was domineering in the capital, and any woman he set his eyes on could hardly escape his clutches.

Although Shen Muxue had already anticipated that this visit was fraught with danger, she had no choice but to go out in person to explore the way because Wang had been staying indoors for the past few days.

As for how the other party would set up a trap to harm him, he actually felt a complex mix of curiosity and uneasiness in his heart.

After some social interactions, nothing unexpected happened.

At this moment, the accompanying maid Siyun handed over an exquisite flower: "This is what Prince Xian'an asked me to send to the young lady."

Noticing Yu Wei's dazed expression, Shen Muxue gladly accepted this unexpected gift and promised to give her something in return to express her gratitude soon.

"My dear sister, is this flower beautiful? If you like it as much as I do, I will generously give it to you!"

"It's just a flower. I don't take it seriously."

She said she didn't care, but her face turned red with anger. Let's see how long she can endure it.

Everyone listened to music and watched opera as usual and enjoyed lunch. The maids came into the room one after another and began to serve the dishes.

Suddenly, a maid accidentally spilled a bowl of hot soup, which happened to spill onto Shen Muxue's clothes.

The show has begun, how familiar this scene is!

The maid from the Xie Mansion got up to change clothes and walked towards a side room.

Shen Muxue stopped at the door and whispered to Ruizhu, "Siyun said that Prince Xian'an will come to visit later. Go pick a flower and I can give it to Prince Xian'an as a return gift later."

"Miss Shen, please come in."

The maid in the Xie Mansion seemed to be worried that Shen Muxue would escape, so she quickly pushed the door and invited her in.

Shen Muxue walked in slowly. The room was filled with a strange fragrance. Fortunately, she had taken an anti-poison pill beforehand, so she had nothing to fear from any kind of drug or incense.

Turning to the maid of Xie Mansion, Shen Muxue smiled and said, "Miss, my maid Siyun has to go get a new set of clothes for me. Can you help lead the way?"

The maid looked at Shen Muxue, hesitated for a few seconds, and then replied: "Okay, then I will go. Miss Shen, please don't walk around here."

Shen Muxue couldn't help but sneer in her heart and replied: "My clothes are all dirty, where can I go?"

As soon as the maid from the Xie Mansion left, Shen Muxue immediately left the room.

Staying there would only be asking for trouble.

She came to a corner and waited quietly for Ruizhu to come.

Sure enough, not long after, Ruizhu appeared in front of her, and as she walked, she said, "Just ahead, Siyun said that Prince Xian'an will be here soon to talk to my eldest sister."

When the three words "King Xian'an" were mentioned, Shen Yuwei's mind suddenly went blank, and the only thought in her mind was to stop her sister from being alone with King Xian'an.

After seeing Shen Yuwei walk into the designated room, Shen Muxue left with joy on her face, planning to go find her maid Ruizhu to change clothes and then come back to enjoy the upcoming show.

Walking around the back of the rockery, Shen Muxue heard two voices talking in a low voice.

"Is that really the Emperor himself?"

A little girl asked in a low voice.

"That's absolutely right. I saw the emperor's appearance once last time when I accompanied my wife to the palace."

Another maid replied confidently.

"But His Majesty the Emperor actually came to our mansion in person, but the concubine did not accompany him. Why is that?"

"I don't know that."

After the two women were out of sight, Shen Muxue quietly approached the corner of the river and saw a man sitting by the water in the distance, concentrating on fishing.

The Supreme Emperor, who never easily stepped into other people's houses and even rarely left the palace, now appeared in the inner court of Xie Mansion. This was really a wonderful fate.

In order to attract attention and get closer to the other person, Shen Muxue deliberately pretended to be in a trance and walked towards the lake step by step, seemingly walking deeper and deeper without noticing.

"Miss, we can't go any further. Let's get back to the shore!"

A somewhat awkward-sounding voice tried to remind herself, but Shen Muxue continued to move forward as if she hadn't heard it at all.

It wasn't until the cold lake water gradually submerged her knees that she was suddenly pulled tightly by a force, "Miss, stop here and don't move."

A calm and slightly magnetic voice was heard. Shen Muxue slowly turned her head and a tear quietly slid down.

"Sir, please don't come to save me. Doing so will only bring me misfortune."

The man who held her had sword-like eyebrows and eyes like stars. Under his high nose bridge was a handsome face, overflowing with concern.

His good looks made it even more difficult for Shen Muxue to play this role.
