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

"Just as you thought."

She placed her slender hands lightly on his chest, pushing it slightly away, but her body still trembled uncontrollably, with a hint of sadness in her eyes: "Your Majesty, don't do it here..."

The emperor's gaze was fixed on those clear eyes, trying to read whether her concerns were due to discomfort with the venue or other reasons.

Suddenly, he was a little worried that there might be a hint of fear in that look.

Then, in a tone softer than ever before, he explained, "I don't know if I'm poisoned or cursed, but I've already caused harm to many innocent women. Even though you can now be near me without being affected, I'm still worried that this misfortune will spread to you. Within this palace, ninety-nine eminent monks chant sutras day and night, enough to suppress any ominous influence."

"When I make you my wife, I don't want anything to happen. No demon or monster can take you away from me."

This was the first time he spoke to her so gently, without any trace of the coldness beneath his usual majesty.

He stared at the changes in Shen Muxue's expression, afraid to see even a hint of fear or disgust.

I saw a rosy color gradually appearing on her face, and her black eyes were filled with tears.

"Doesn't it have to be today?"

All this happened too quickly. In fact, she originally wanted the other party to wait a few more days. Things that are obtained too easily will never be cherished.

She was wearing a white long dress and nestled in his arms, as fragile as a docile little rabbit. The tears in her eyes made her look even clearer and more transparent. She had neither fear nor resistance, but simply raised questions.

"Tonight is the full moon, and I don't want to wait until the next full moon. In a few days, I will find a suitable reason to allow you to live in the palace."

He wanted to make sure that their union would not bring her any harm before formally welcoming her into the palace.

After hearing this, Shen Muxue also understood what His Majesty was thinking. If she encountered misfortune on her first day in the palace, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Therefore, only after she became his woman and confirmed her own safety could he safely welcome her into the palace.

Omit some details...

When he regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a speeding carriage.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of concerned eyes looking at me.

"Do you feel unwell?"

This question is not easy to answer. Shen Muxue is afraid that telling him will make him think too much. After all, he cares very much about his own safety now.

He shook his head slightly and asked weakly, "Where are we going?"

Hearing this, the emperor's heart finally settled down. He then held her tighter in his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I'll take you back home now."

Shen Muxue nodded slightly, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning, when everyone heard that Shen Muxue did not come out to attend the ceremony as usual because she was not feeling well, everyone thought that she was just in a bad mood because of the failed marriage, and no one paid much attention to it.

The sentry was so anxious that he almost sat on the beam.

It was always quiet behind the bed curtains. I was really afraid that I would be cold by then.

After making sure that there were no maids or other people in the room, she mustered up the courage to jump down, walked lightly to the bedside and called softly, "Second Miss Shen? Second Miss Shen?"

Shen Muxue was very confused when she heard such a name in a daze.

Through the gap in the gauze, I saw a strange man standing in front of the bed, and I was immediately scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

Thinking that it might be someone arranged by the emperor, I gradually felt relieved.

"What's the matter?"

Her voice was slightly hoarse.

Hearing the reply, the sentry almost burst into tears. She had endured such a hardship last night but was still safe and sound, which meant that His Majesty could still enjoy a good time in the future.

"Can your body handle it?"

"I'm okay."

The short and powerful answer made the emperor, who was attending court in the capital, couldn't help but smile.

She is safe now, so her future should be smooth sailing as well.

There is plenty of light during the day, so ghosts and monsters naturally dare not cause trouble easily.

It was not until noon that Shen Muxue finally woke up completely.

When she saw several strings of Buddhist beads on her hands and feet, she couldn't help but laugh.

Is the emperor worried that I will die, so he uses these things to ward off evil spirits?

After Nanny Yu and Yutang took care of her after lunch, they tried to persuade her to go out for a walk.

They both guessed that the young lady might be depressed because of the broken engagement.

"Mammy, Yutang, do you two want to go back to Wenzhou with your uncle?"

Shen Muxue, lying on the couch, asked lazily.

The two of them hurriedly shook their heads like rattles, and Yutang solemnly swore that he would never leave the young lady for a single step in his life.

"I have lost all my relatives long ago, and I am willing to follow you for life."

In a few days, they will go to the palace to see the emperor. I believe the emperor will not refuse to take them in...

Shen Muxue was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

At the same time, because Shen Muxue was unwell and bedridden, Shen Yunxiang also fell ill, which made the entire Shen Mansion suddenly empty and deserted.

Old Mrs. Shen began to look for a suitable husband for her biological daughter.

The alliance with the Wei Mansion has come to nothing, and we must find another way out as soon as possible.

Looking at the list of poor families in her mother's hand, Shen Lingwei felt filled with resentment.

"Mother, since they can covet Second Sister's generous dowry, why can't we?"

Mrs. Shen was stunned when she heard this. "How do you plan to handle this? If the man Shen Muxue marries is very protective of her, what else can we do?"

"Then let her marry into a family that will obey our family's arrangements, so that the wealth can still be in our hands."

Shen Lingwei made the suggestion confidently and happened to meet the old lady's scrutinizing gaze.

"Only my aunt's side is acceptable. Do you think, besides that relative, who else would be willing to cooperate with us to share interests and maintain a marriage relationship?"

Sure enough, the clever little brain quickly came up with a solution.

"Mother, the Wei family wants to use my second sister's dowry to curry favor with the Queen Mother. We can use the same method!"

When Madam Shen heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she asked, "Is there any way?"

"Shen Muxue is of humble origin and not particularly outstanding in character. She is definitely not suitable to be the principal wife of the Prince of Yongning. Why don't you persuade the Queen Mother to make me the principal wife? Then, I will try to make Shen Muxue a concubine. In this way, her dowry will all fall into my hands, and how to distribute it will be entirely up to the Queen Mother's arrangement."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen was delighted and clapped her hands in approval, saying, "This is indeed a brilliant plan. Why were we previously blinded by the Wei family's reputation, hoping to benefit from the birth of a queen in their family in the future?

If that’s the case, why can’t our Shen family give birth to a queen?
