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

Shen Muxue knew very well that this might all be the result of the emperor's careful planning. She slowly exhaled and walked towards the pagoda under the gazes of many people.

The abbot slowly opened a box made of rosewood, inside which was a holy object.

Shen Muxue carefully took out the relic and held it high in front of everyone.

As the abbot led the monks in reciting Sanskrit mantras, everyone around bowed their heads, closed their eyes and prayed silently.

At this time, Shen Muxue secretly looked into the depths of the hall, and saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe hiding in the shadows and staring at her. When their eyes met, the other smiled slightly.

Soon the chanting stopped, and the abbot said loudly, "Our temple has built a new place to enshrine the holy relics. Please place the Buddha's relics there with your own hands."

Two young monks brought a small pagoda made of fragrant nanmu wood, and Shen Muxue gently placed the relic inside it in full view of everyone.

After all the rituals were completed, the abbot exclaimed in ecstasy, "Those who are destined to be with us celebrate with the Buddha, and those who are blessed and protected will surely be rich and prosperous. This act today will surely bring prosperity to the country and peace to the people."

As if infected by this passion, even those who had previously been prejudiced against her now looked at her with great respect.

Even Shen Lingwei and Wei Lanqian, the future concubine of Prince Yongning, showed a somewhat gentle expression, as if their previous foolish image had disappeared in an instant.

Only then did Shen Muxue understand the emperor's intention. He let her bathe in the Buddha's light, purify her origin in front of everyone, and change the world's views.

The emperor not only wants her to enter the palace, but also hopes that she can stand by his side in a respected and admired manner.

This action made Shen Muxue's eyes moist and her heart was excited.

Even though I haven't given birth to a child for him yet, he is so frank with me. How can I not be moved?

"emperor."

The abbot turned and shouted into the hall.

"This woman possesses an extraordinary destiny, blessed by the Buddha. If she could accompany Your Majesty, she would surely help the king maintain good health, ensure peace and prosperity for the people, and assist the emperor in achieving his grand ambitions."

The presiding abbot spoke so passionately that Shen Muxue, who was listening nearby, blushed. This elder was actually very good at telling white lies.

Glancing secretly at the crowd, he saw that everyone looked solemn and believed it to be true. Even the Queen Mother did not show any doubt at all.

When the man in the dragon robe slowly walked out of the hall, several women in the crowd could not help but sway, and some of them trembled uncontrollably, not even daring to look at the noble figure.

It turns out that there are people in this world who are so afraid of the majesty of the imperial power.

Fortunately, direct contact with the emperor would lead to sudden death, and their lives were not in danger as they watched from afar. After a brief period of chaos, the scene quickly returned to calm.

The emperor walked up to Shen Muxue and asked, "Are you willing to follow me into the palace?"

Faced with such a direct question, Shen Muxue was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed: "I am willing."

But before she could lean over, she was supported by a pair of strong hands, who took her hand.

There were bursts of exclamations all around, and everyone stared at the two people's clenched hands in amazement. Is this place about to become the scene of a tragedy?

Everyone is quietly waiting for the upcoming scene. Will Shen Muxue suddenly die?

However, she just lowered her eyes shyly, and there was no abnormality in her body.

He announced loudly, "As expected, the little girl is truly blessed with great fortune. Even evil spirits and demons give way to her."

It was not until this moment that everyone was completely convinced of everything they had heard before. Shen Muxue was indeed protected by the gods and could remain unharmed when the imperial power was close.

"Your Majesty, you can't!"

The queen suddenly stood up, ignoring the queen mother's attempts to stop her, and loudly objected.

"Why doesn't the Queen agree? Don't you want to see someone accompanying me?"

This left the Queen speechless for a moment. If she admitted it, it would be a public admission that she was jealous.

But she reacted too quickly and was not yet ready to give a reasonable explanation.

"I have made up my mind. If the Queen is worried, please stay in the temple for a few days and pray for my well-being."

After hearing these words, the queen turned pale and sat back in her seat with a dejected look.

The originally ordinary chanting ceremony quietly brewed the center of a storm that was enough to sweep the entire empire. The story about the young lady of the Shen family being protected by gods and Buddhas and will be by the emperor's side in the future was widely circulated.

This made the queen grit her teeth, because she knew that apart from the queen mother, she was the only one who understood that this was all a scam.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to fabricate this rumor in order to prevent the royal family from recruiting more concubines and making it impossible for the Jiang family to gain a foothold in the deep palace.

I originally thought that it would be okay to be a widow, after all, I still had the title of queen.

The current situation is really hard for her to accept.

Looking at everything in front of her, the Queen Mother comforted her softly: "You are the master of the harem. No one can shake your position. You must understand this."

"But will I have to live out my life in solitude? Or should we find an opportunity to announce the truth? Let's say that the emperor has recovered and can favor all the concubines."

The queen was heartbroken. As the legitimate original wife, she could not spend her life with her husband. All this was just for the Jiang family and to ensure that the queen mother's grandson could ascend to the throne smoothly.

"You are too naive. If everyone knew that His Majesty had recovered, they would surely persuade him to recruit more beauties. By then, the palace would be filled with women. How could you maintain your position as Queen?"

The queen burst into tears. Although she held the title of queen and had lived in the palace for many years, she actually felt like she was living in a cage, following the queen mother in chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha every day without any freedom.

Seeing the Empress so agitated, the Queen Mother consoled her, "Your Majesty has medication in his system that has prevented him from having children. Even if the Shen family's daughter is favored, she won't give birth to a prince. When the future Emperor dies, the Prince of Yongning will inherit the throne, and you will ascend to the throne of Empress Dowager. Everything will then be under your control. Now, you just have to be patient."

The Queen raised her head with a look of pain on her face and said sadly, "Mother, I have endured this situation for nearly ten years. Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, and I don't know how much longer I have to endure..."

Even if the Queen cried heartbreakingly, the Queen Mother was unwilling to change her position. After all, she could not reveal the news of the Emperor's recovery, otherwise the children of the ministers would flock to the harem, and the Queen's wisdom alone would not be enough to deal with such a complicated situation.

"Then can we find an opportunity to eliminate this woman surnamed Su later? Since Your Majesty is poisoned, even if he is suspected, the outside world will only think that it was caused by Your Majesty himself."

Thinking that although her husband was by her side, he was someone others could covet, the queen felt even more jealous and unwilling.

However, the Queen Mother tightly grasped the Empress's hand and said in an extremely firm tone, "Don't act rashly! Ever since the Emperor took sole control of government ten years ago, he has firmly controlled everything within and outside the court. Any attempt to plot will immediately lead to the risk of being exposed. If the entire cause and effect is revealed, we will all be doomed!"
