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

This was obviously not good news for the young nobleman who was performing official duties independently for the first time. After all, he was looking forward to showing his outstanding performance to the imperial concubine.

The Dali Temple official also added, "As the Minister has said, given the complexity of the case and the many details that need to be confirmed, there is still some time before you can officially enter the court. It would be wise not to rush for quick success."

These signs made King Xian'an alert. Could it be that these two important ministers were really secretly obstructing him?

Is it even possible that he would oppose becoming the crown prince?

While he was full of doubts, he silently took note of all this.

In the end, failing to reach a consensus, everyone left with dissatisfaction.

With only two days left before Prince Xian'an's coming-of-age ceremony, Shen Muxue continues to exert influence in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother once mentioned that she was still in the cold palace when you held your coming-of-age ceremony and was not there in person, which always left a deep regret in her heart. Therefore, this time, she particularly hopes that Prince Xian'an can wear the golden crown you wore back then. Perhaps this will slightly ease her regret."

Sure enough, the emperor's face turned gloomy after hearing this. If Prince Xian'an really used the golden crown that symbolized supreme power, it would be tantamount to directly announcing his succession to the throne.

Although he had always planned to pass the imperial power to King Xian'an, he felt really uncomfortable being forced and urged like this.

"Let's choose the new one."

The emperor's response didn't sound particularly interested, so Shen Muxue continued, "And what about the cloak you wore during your coronation? The Queen Mother also hopes that Prince Xian'an will wear it during the ceremony."

The emperor roared in his heart: Does this mean that Prince Xian'an should wear his dragon robe directly?

Not even a formal ascension to the throne is necessary?

As the conversation went on, the emperor's expression became more and more solemn.

All of this fell into Shen Muxue's eyes, making her smile with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, how about some melon? Eating something sweet will make you feel better."

The emperor pushed the food away and said calmly, "I still have many undecided matters. Let's stop here for today."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Looking at the receding figure, Shen Muxue happily began to try on the clothes.

"Your Majesty is truly stunning in your light yellow gown. When the Emperor wears a bright yellow robe, they will surely be a perfect match."

Nanny Yang looked at the young lady with eyes full of relief.

"Although light yellow is nice, it seems a little inferior to bright yellow. I thought that since both are warm tones, they would be a more harmonious match."

Shen Muxue stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, and still felt that the queen's bright yellow official uniform was more majestic.

"Indeed, in the future, when you wear the Queen's attire, you will naturally be a better match for His Majesty."

Siyun took over the conversation but was frightened by Nanny Yang beside her, who stopped her in time and scolded her: "Pay attention to the occasion before you speak!"

Siyun stuck out her tongue and thought: My little master is now very much loved, and it is only a matter of time before she is crowned queen.

Then, considering the upcoming banquet arrangements, Shen Muxue solemnly instructed: "Closely monitor the movements in Yuxiu Palace. If the Second Princess appears wearing similar clothes, report immediately. Also, pay close attention to the behavior of Prince Xian'an."

Nanny Yang assured: "Don't worry, not even a fallen leaf can escape my scrutiny."

Shen Muxue nodded, looking forward to reaping the benefits after the imperial concubine took action against Prince Xian'an.

After the grand coronation ceremony, the Queen Mother praised Shen Muxue's work ability, "Shufei is capable and does things neatly and efficiently, which makes people very satisfied."

The other ladies who came to congratulate also echoed the sentiment, as if ignoring the imperial concubine who was sitting silently on the side.

The entire ceremony included worshipping ancestors, visiting the Taimiao and other aspects, and took a long time.

The guests gathered in the Yixiang Palace where the Queen Mother was staying to wait for the ceremony to end, and then prepared to attend a celebratory banquet to celebrate the successful completion of the ceremony.

Several ministers brought their daughters to participate in the event. During the period, the empress dowager asked about the situation with great interest and expressed her appreciation for some of the people.

He even secretly suggested to Shen Muxue: "Why don't we select a few concubines from these girls? Whoever gets pregnant first can become the main concubine in the future?"

This idea is really amazing!

They even skipped the idea of ​​a legitimate marriage partner and only focused on offspring?

Shen Muxue could only perfunctorily reply, "Your suggestion is very wise."

Anyway, Taihou made the decision decisively, so she just had to obey. Even if something unexpected happened, it had nothing to do with her.

All the beauties tried their best to win the favor of the empress dowager. Among them, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel was the most outstanding, and even the empress dowager was unwilling to let her go.

Everyone is aware of this situation and is afraid that this girl will become Princess An in the future.

The wife of the Minister of Personnel was even more beaming, thinking that her daughter might become a candidate and would have to go home to offer sacrifices to her ancestors.

Finally, it was afternoon and King Xian'an's ceremonial affairs were over. Everyone went to Liangyi Hall to attend the banquet.

The imperial concubine was silent all day long, like an invisible person. Shen Muxue wanted to talk to her many times, but she just brushed her off. In addition, the scene was noisy, so there was no chance to speak at all.

Only when they were seated did Shen Muxue finally say a few words of greeting: "Sister, you look different now. It seems that cultivation can really make you look better."

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Sister, when you have the opportunity in the future, you will also experience the benefits of meditation and will naturally gain some enlightenment."

Obviously, this was the imperial concubine's mockery of Shen Muxue, saying that she would have bad luck tonight, and predicted that she would lose the emperor's favor in the future and would have to rely on spiritual practice to survive.

Before Shen Muxue could react, loud shouts were heard outside the door: His Majesty has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, Prince Xian'an has arrived.

Everyone stood up and knelt down to pay their respects. The emperor sat in the middle, and the empress dowager's seat was slightly lower.

Prince Xian'an sat in the first seat on the west side, the imperial concubine sat in the first seat on the east side, and Shen Muxue followed closely in the second seat on the east side.

Due to the distance, the two people only exchanged glances and greeted each other with a nod.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine thought to herself that if the two of them could continue to smile in such a tacit understanding, then they could be said to be treating each other sincerely.

After the banquet began, some ministers came forward to toast the emperor.

Although on the surface they were expressing respect to the emperor, in reality they were all praising Prince Xian'an:

"Your Highness's noble character is entirely due to Your Majesty's wise guidance."

"Your Highness is from the royal family, and he is very talented. The country is fortunate to have such a talented person."

"Your Highness is gifted with extraordinary talents, and is truly a blessing to the ministers!"

At this time, the emperor had already drunk several cups in succession, and his face became increasingly gloomy.

But everyone present thought that there was nothing wrong with this praise. After all, the emperor had no heir, and King Xian'an should have taken over the cause.

After the toast, several young women from prominent families began to show off their talents.

The first person to appear on stage was the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. She played a piece of music and was warmly praised by the Empress Dowager, who publicly awarded her a headdress as a prize.
