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

Even a person with a heart of steel would be moved by such a scene.

Seeing this, the emperor wiped her tears and said comfortingly: "From now on, I will protect you and will not allow anyone to hurt you again."

"How dare your stepmother be so cruel and even attempt to have her daughter marry into the royal palace? She's truly arrogant. Shi'er, how do you think we should deal with her?"

How to punish?

Although Shen Muxue wanted to tear Wang into pieces, now was not the time.

After all, you have just arrived and need to maintain a gentle and kind image. It is not easy to express your true inner wishes directly.

Besides, how could physical pain alone relieve the hatred in her heart? She planned to let Wang witness her daughter experiencing the same tragedy as Shen Muxue in her previous life, which would be the best revenge.

"My mother was certainly unkind to me, but she was only acting out of her instinctive love for her child. Furthermore, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have even been able to truly meet His Majesty. So, I'm grateful for this unexpected surprise."

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Shen Muxue with even more tenderness, praising her for her beauty and virtue.

How could such a beautiful person live peacefully in this deep palace?

He must protect it with all his strength no matter what.

"You are truly too kind. How could you endure such humiliation even when being bullied? As for your sister, please rest assured that I will never agree to let her become Princess An."

Apparently, His Majesty is still unaware of another matter concerning Shen Yuwei, and is taking this opportunity to stir up trouble.

"Something happened at the Xie residence today. My sister accidentally lost her virginity to Master Xie. Although Master Xie expressed his willingness to accept her as a concubine, it seems he is not satisfied with this."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor scoffed contemptuously, "It would be lenient for such a scheming woman to become someone else's concubine. If you're not satisfied, then simply issue an imperial decree to finalize the matter!"

Then the eunuch presented the writing material, and not long after, a notice was officially issued ordering Shen Yuwei to go to the Xie Mansion to be a low-ranking concubine.

Witnessing this series of flowing actions, Shen Muxue secretly sighed in his heart that the emperor's authority was truly unmatched, and he must rely closely on the emperor in the future.

"Your Majesty has been so kind to me, I really don't know how to repay you."

Holding the soft and boneless body in his arms, the emperor's throat trembled slightly, and it seemed that even his long-dormant heartbeat was reawakened.

During his youth, many princes fought with each other for the throne, and even his two elder brothers lost their lives in palace disputes.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not an attempt to tease the beauties in the palace, but was actually a conspiracy and a trap set up by them, causing these young princes to accidentally fall into.

He had personally encountered various traps set by the palace maids and concubines, and someone even tried to put aphrodisiacs in his food.

Whenever this happened, he would think of his brother who had unfortunately passed away, and he would cool his body with ice water to fight the discomfort brought by the drugs and resist the temptation.

His strong self-control eventually made him stand out among many competitors and win the treasure.

However, after ascending to the supreme position, he found that every time he saw a woman, he would feel disgusted by his past unbearable experiences.

No matter whether it is a man or a woman, no one can arouse his interest at all.

In order to keep the outside world in the dark, he could only pretend to be particularly fond of a certain Concubine Xie, to cover up the fact that he did not favor any concubine.

After several years, he reluctantly accepted more concubines under the urging of everyone, but it was actually just a temporary measure.

Every time he looked at the different faces appearing on the dragon bed, the old shadows resurfaced before his eyes - the eager gazes and artificial behavior made him even more disgusted.

Until he met Shen at this moment, her clear eyes revealed her determination to die, and even her attempt to escape, which aroused the emperor's curiosity about her.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this abnormal attitude that he developed an unprecedented interest in this woman?

"My beloved concubine, there is no need to worry too much about thanking me. Just staying by my side is enough."

"Your Majesty, I have not yet gone to see the Queen Mother and Concubine Xie..."

A shy look appeared on his face, and he looked a little uneasy.

The emperor coughed a few times and replied, "You can go again tomorrow."

……

News came from deep within Yixiang Palace: The Empress Dowager was so shocked by the fact that His Majesty had canonized Shen as Consort Shu that she almost dropped the rosary in her hand.

"Your Majesty has always been cautious. Why is he so anxious to summon the girl from the Shen family into the palace today? Could it be that he also knows about her dream?"

Aunt Hu recalled the scene of that day. At that time, the abbot of Hongfu Temple was accompanying her, listening to scriptures in the main hall. There seemed to be someone in the side hall, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

Could it be that the emperor was in the side hall at that time, and therefore also knew about the dream that the Shen family’s daughter had?

"You remember, Queen Mother, before the Emperor ascended the throne, he was framed by the Fifth Prince and poisoned. It was the abbot of Hongfu Temple who rescued him and cured him of the poison. The Emperor has an extraordinary trust in the abbot. Perhaps the abbot also relayed the story of the Shen family girl dreaming of a dragon entering her arms to the Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately remembered this old incident.

Indeed, the emperor lived in Hongfu Temple for a full three months.

In this way, the strange dream that Shen's daughter had might have already reached the emperor's ears.

"What do you think the Emperor meant? Is he dissatisfied with me because I didn't allow the girl from the Shen family to enter the palace as a concubine, so he directly granted her the title of Shufei?"

Faced with the empress dowager's questions, Matron Hu sighed inwardly.

In fact, she explained it very clearly at that time. The girl dreamed that she was surrounded by a golden dragon and then she became pregnant.

But the Queen Mother treated her as Princess Xian'an and even wanted to arrange a marriage for them.

Although she thought this in her heart, she certainly couldn't say it out loud. She softly comforted him, "The Queen Mother only sent a teaching nanny there. She didn't explicitly decree that Miss Shen should be given to Prince Xian'an as his wife. The Emperor wouldn't necessarily think that you wanted to keep her as his wife."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and felt fortunate that she had not made a clear statement to marry the daughter of the Shen family to Prince Xian'an. Now it would be best to pretend that this incident had never happened.

"Your analysis makes sense. This little bitch from the Xie family has been occupying the harem for too long and is always trying to interfere with court decisions. I hope this new member of the Shen family can stand up for themselves and grab some favor."

When she said this, she turned to the old woman beside her and said, "Go to Yuxiu Palace and teach her a lesson for me!"

So Ma Hu was ordered to go to where Concubine Xie lived. Since her words carried a certain weight in front of the Empress Dowager, no one dared to stop her on the way to her destination.

I saw Concubine Xie leisurely eating various fresh fruits, looking very contented.

Upon seeing the visitor, Mrs. Xie gently asked, "I wonder what brought you here today?"

Seeing this, Matron Hu couldn't help but wonder: As the person in charge of inner court affairs, she should have known the news about the reward for the new concubine long ago, so why doesn't she seem to be bothered by this matter?
