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

As expected, Second Master Shen's expression turned cold upon hearing this. "How can our daughter of the Shen family be relegated to the position of a concubine? Furthermore, the Song family is still around. How do you plan to convince them to give their niece to someone else as a concubine, and even offer a dowry of hundreds of thousands of taels?"

Faced with the doubts, Madam Shen said awkwardly: "We will always find a way to solve it."

The old lady finally made the decision: "Now that things have come to this, there is no other choice. Do you want to go against the Queen Mother and create a grudge with Prince Yongning?"

In anger, Mr. Shen turned and left.

"Mother, you see, he only thinks about himself and completely disregards the long-term interests of the Shen family."

Master Shen pointed at his brother's back as he left, his tone filled with anger.

The old lady slammed her cane on the ground and said angrily, "Why are you still arguing at this time? Think about how to make Shen Muxue and the Song family accept this arrangement."

Madam Shen suggested, "Mother, it's actually not difficult to handle. We just need to wait until the Queen Mother's banquet and take Shen Muxue with us. If Prince Yongning makes any move then..."

Just like what they did to Shen Yunxiang back then, once Wei Zixian made his intentions known in public, the Shen family would no longer be able to get away easily.

At that time, even if Shen Muxue wanted to escape from this situation, she would have no way out. Even if the Song family was dissatisfied, they would have nothing to say, after all, they were just businesses.

"It's really excellent."

Before he finished speaking, the wife of Marquis Jingcheng walked into the room with her daughter.

As Master Shen quietly withdrew, he saw his sister tearfully asking the old lady, "Mother, is Lingwei really going to marry the Prince of Yongning?"

The old lady seemed a little guilty. She reluctantly pulled the hand of Marquis Jingcheng away and said softly, "Look at you. You're such a grown-up, and you're still crying."

She knew in her heart that at first the two families joined forces to support Wei Lanqian as the main wife, but now Shen Lingwei has taken this position.

Mrs. Shen felt a little embarrassed but also secretly happy. She had finally turned over a new leaf after being suppressed for so many years.

"Sister, mother's health has just improved, please don't make her sad anymore."

"you……"

Lady Jingchenghou pointed at her and glared at her.

Madam Shen straightened her back in anger and retorted, "What? As the eldest sister-in-law, can't I teach my unreasonable sister-in-law a lesson? You are already an elderly person, why are you still so impatient!"

The old lady didn't want to argue any further.

The matter has been decided, and it is futile to say anything more.

"Your sister-in-law is right. Don't be too impulsive when encountering things. Since the imperial decree has been issued, unless you go to the palace to ask the emperor to change your fate, then you have no choice but to accept the reality happily. What's the point of crying like this now?"

Faced with successive blows, Lady Jingcheng's emotions completely lost control, and she cried loudly, "Mother, what should I do with Lan Qian?"

Wei Lanqian stood quietly by and listened to her mother crying, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

She gradually accepted the fact that she could not marry into the Yongning Palace.

However, today he learned an even more cruel news. Shen Lingwei, who had been inferior to him since childhood, became the master of Yongning Palace.

How unfair God is to her!

Why is it Shen Lingwei?

Doctor Shen said hypocritically, "With Lan Qian's good family background, there are many good men in the world. Sister, what do you mean by that? Lan Qian will surely have greater good fortune waiting for her in the future."

At this moment, cries of grief were heard everywhere in Taoran Hall, while another scene was unfolding in Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Shen Jiangzhi had just received a heavy slap from her mother-in-law because of excessive excitement.

The Shen family told her that she was no longer the sister-in-law of the next queen, but had become her elder sister, which seemed to make her status closer.

I came with great joy to tell my mother-in-law the good news, but I didn't expect to be treated so coldly.

Covering her face and not daring to make a sound, Shen Jiangzhi knew that she had caused trouble, but they dared not question the Queen Mother's decision.

"Mother, please listen to me. This marriage was arranged by the Queen Mother and is not something we can interfere with!"

The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang sneered in response, "The reason is that you took the initiative to bring your mother into the palace. Even if the emperor was behind it, the root cause is that you and your family conspired against me, even sacrificing your own family's interests to benefit your mother's family. How can my family tolerate a woman as ungrateful as you?"

Shen Jiangzhi was in a state of panic at the moment, terrified that if she lost this marriage, she would be in dire straits. "Mother-in-law, please don't divorce me. I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm the sister of the soon-to-be queen..."

Seeing her mother-in-law's cold face showing no sign of changing, she suddenly felt desperate.

The Marquis's wife said contemptuously, "Who can predict the future? Let's wait until your sister truly becomes empress. You should leave here immediately and go to the ancestral temple, where you will wait for good news."

Mrs. Shen was only happy for a moment, and by the afternoon she could no longer smile.

The maid who went to the Pingyang Marquis's residence to report the news reported back, "The eldest daughter has been sent to the ancestral temple. The Pingyang Marquis' wife also declared that unless the second daughter ascends the throne, the eldest daughter will never be allowed to leave."

Madam Shen held Shen Lingwei's hand tightly, and said in a heavy tone: "My daughter, you heard it. Mother and sister's hopes are all on you. You must make a name for yourself."

Shen Lingwei nodded solemnly, and secretly vowed in her heart that she would become the queen no matter what. Not only would she free her sister, but she would also make the wife of Marquis Pingyang pay the price.

The thing that worries her most at the moment is how to arrange an encounter so that Prince Yongning will fall in love with Shen Muxue at first sight. It would be best if this task can be completed before the Queen Mother's banquet.

Three days later, the Emperor, along with the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Prince Yongning, went to Hongfu Temple to listen to Buddhist teachings, and the families of officials from various courts accompanied them.

This is a perfect opportunity. As long as she cleverly creates opportunities during this trip to make Prince Yongning notice Shen Muxue, everything will go smoothly. She doesn't even have to worry about the attitude of the Song family.

As soon as the carriage stopped and stepped into the ancient temple again, Shen Muxue's cheeks felt slightly hot.

Shen Lingwei held her sister's hand tightly, not letting go for a moment, "Why are you blushing suddenly?"

"It just feels a little hot."

Shen Muxue replied with a chuckle.

Shen Lingwei looked him up and down and didn't notice how heavily he was dressed.

"Let's find a place to change into cooler clothes later."

Shen Muxue also looked at Shen Lingwei. Since the latter had already made up her mind, it was obviously a good time to act in such a public place.

But she was not in a hurry to find a solution. No matter what Shen Lingwei planned, the hidden power in the palace was enough to ensure her safety.

Since the dragon's body was not suitable for being close to others, the crowd did not accompany the emperor into the main hall to listen to the Dharma, but chose to spend time in the side hall or other places in the temple.

Many noble families used this place as a picnic spot, strolling freely and enjoying the spring sunshine. Only those who were summoned by the Queen Mother could show their family's glory.
