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

"This is a gift from the late emperor when I first entered the palace."

The implication was clear; everyone felt that this girl would soon become one of the candidates for the queen.

Then it was the turn of the daughter of the Minister of Revenue to come out and dance. Her dance was so graceful and moving that it was dazzling.

Even King Xian'an couldn't help but express his admiration.

Faced with this situation, the Queen Mother felt a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, she preferred the girl from the Minister of Personnel's family.

But King Xian'an seemed to prefer the girl with excellent dancing skills.

She was troubled about how to choose.

But since the gift has been given, why not leave it at that for now and consider it later?

"This is also a small gift I received from the late emperor when I was pregnant."

This statement further strengthened the implication, and even the usually low-key imperial concubine took the initiative to ask the concubine next to her for her opinion on who would be chosen as the princess.

Shen Muxue noticed all this and looked up at the emperor sitting on the high throne. She found that he was drinking non-stop. She wondered how he could cooperate with the next plan if he got drunk.

So he summoned a young eunuch and quietly instructed him to remind the emperor to drink less, and then there would be a surprise for him.

After hearing this, the monarch looked in the direction of Shen Muxue and saw that she was looking at him with concern.

Everyone's attention in the entire palace was drawn to King Xian'an, only his Xue'er always cared about him, which made the emperor quite pleased.

Prince Xian'an, who was in his youth, was persuaded by everyone to drink, and many beauties came to perform. He had already become a little intoxicated and even boldly looked in the direction of the imperial concubine who was sitting not far away.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother quickly ordered a young eunuch to take Prince Xian'an away from the table to sober him up.

As soon as Prince Xian'an left, Siyun quietly came forward to report, "The second young lady, wearing the same attire as you, walked out of Yuxiu Hall and is heading this way."

Looking up, Prince Xian'an had already disappeared without a trace. If he met Shen Yuwei while drunk, sparks would probably fly between them immediately.

The imperial concubine made him embarrass himself in public during Prince Xian'an's coming-of-age ceremony. Her methods were truly remarkable!

"younger sister?"

"Ok?"

"Oh! Look, your clothes are all wet!"

Seeing the imperial concubine trying to provoke a dispute in such an obvious way and using such an outdated strategy, Shen Muxue felt that the other party was really ridiculous.

"Does my sister need to change clothes?"

Every time something happens to her clothes, they have to be replaced, and new troubles arise in the process. Does the imperial concubine really think she has no mind?

"No, a little dampness isn't a problem."

Seeing that Shen Muxue didn't take the bait, the imperial concubine's tone suddenly turned cold: "Do you know? The second lady is waiting in the hall next door. If you don't go to see her, I will order her execution to accompany Jing'er."

Faced with the threat, Shen Muxue smiled, obviously knowing everything.

It turned out that the imperial concubine wanted to trick herself into going out and then send her into the arms of Prince Xian'an, in order to create an inappropriate relationship between the two.

Even if the plan fails, as long as he ensures that he is not at the scene and arranges for others to witness the interaction between Prince Xian'an and his second sister, it will be enough to make people believe it.

After all, the two sisters are very similar in appearance and dress, and it is easy to confuse them under dim light.

The imperial concubine who was able to gain a foothold in the palace and continuously consolidate her position in the past ten years naturally possessed many clever tricks.

Shen Muxue then pretended to be shocked and terrified and begged for forgiveness: "I will obey your orders and go there immediately. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

Seeing this, the imperial concubine smiled with satisfaction, almost shedding tears, and joyfully stated the direction: "Go east to the third room and you will reach your destination."

Soon after leaving with Si Yunyuan nervously, he asked about their real destination, "Should we go straight to the appointment?"

"it's not true."

The answer was decisive, "We hide in the dense forest and wait and see. If I don't move, the concubine won't be able to easily trick everyone into witnessing the adultery. And vice versa."

After a while, a waiter came to report the news: "Shufei has not appeared, and the search for her has been unsuccessful."

Hearing this, he immediately became restless and sternly ordered the search to continue until she was apprehended. "We must isolate her at all costs, and try to lead Prince Xian'an to the whereabouts of the Second Miss of the Shen family. Even if the key protagonist is missing, it doesn't matter, as long as we achieve our goal!"

The young eunuch left for a while, and suddenly someone rushed into the hall and shouted, "What a good omen! Your Majesty, great luck! The phoenix from Shanglin Garden has flown to the Imperial Garden. Your Majesty, please come and see it."

Not long after Prince Xian'an had his coming-of-age ceremony, such an auspicious sign appeared. The Queen Mother walked out of the palace joyfully first, and the Emperor had no choice but to follow.

All the ministers and concubines in the harem then moved to the imperial garden to admire the phoenix.

Shen Muxue was wearing a simple cloak that cleverly concealed her figure and slowly followed the team.

Halfway through the journey, everyone stopped at the same time, and several screams were heard faintly from the front.

It turned out that the young eunuch and the palace maid leading the way noticed something flashing among the bushes, and mistook it for a phoenix, so they came closer to observe.

Unexpectedly, they were a pair of mandarin ducks in love.

The frightened eunuchs dropped their lanterns and ran away, leaving the people who came behind confused. They could only see people rushing around, not knowing what had happened.

"Who's in front? Bring him here!"

After the emperor gave the order, the two people involved were quickly escorted before the crowd.

The young man had disheveled hair and a flushed face. It was none other than King Xian'an who had left the table to sober up.

The woman's clothes were a little messy, but she kept her head down the entire time, and her face was hard to see in the dim light.

However, even without seeing her facial features, the pale yellow silk dress alone revealed everything. She was undoubtedly the Consort Shu.

Seeing the appearance of this couple, the Queen Mother could hardly stand and almost fainted.

She turned to the emperor beside her, who had an expressionless face like a stone statue and exuded a cold aura.

In fact, not long ago, the Queen Mother noticed that Prince Xian'an left the banquet first, and then Concubine Shu followed closely behind...

Who would have thought things would turn out like this?

"This must be a deliberate scheme by Consort Shu to induce Prince Xian'an to act inappropriately. Your Majesty, please be discerning and understand this!"

Another empress nearby spoke anxiously, fearing that the emperor would order the suspicious woman to raise her head and show her face.

At this time, Shen Yuwei, who was kneeling on the ground, felt that things seemed to have deviated from the pre-conceived development track.

The imperial concubine had previously promised her that as long as she could reveal the ambiguous relationship between the two in public, she would force King Xian'an to marry her no matter what the outcome.

But why didn't he give her a chance to explain herself but instead took her away immediately?

Seeing that Shen Yuwei seemed to be about to raise her head, the imperial concubine quickly ordered her eunuchs to cover her mouth and forcefully press her head down.
