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

The Queen Mother's expression had returned to calm as she retorted, "Impossible. After entering the palace, Shen Shi hardly ever left Xuan Yang Palace. Even when she did leave occasionally, the Emperor was always by her side. She had no chance to come into contact with other men."

How did this pregnancy happen?

The two were puzzled and felt that this matter was full of weirdness.

"Could it be that, as the monk said, it was because of the Buddha's blessing that the Shen family was able to give birth to offspring for the emperor?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's expression immediately became very gloomy. This was absolutely impossible, and she would not allow this to happen.

Even if a god really appeared, he would never take away the throne that originally belonged to King Yongning.

For this position and the Jiang family behind it, I have worked hard for so long.

Since her son is gone, she must let her grandson inherit the throne no matter what, so as to repay her hard work over the years.

At this time, Prince Yongning came hurriedly.

As soon as he entered the bridal chamber, he received the news that the imperial concubine was pregnant. He didn't even bother to lift the bride's veil and immediately went out to inquire about the news.

After so much time had passed, he already understood what this news meant to him.

He almost ran to the palace where the Queen Mother was.

"My grandson has come here specially. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The Queen Mother looked at the handsome young man in front of her, her heart filled with comfort, and she patted his shoulders a few times.

"I summoned you here not to ask you to do anything, but to keep your composure and not act rashly. The Emperor's methods are omnipotent, and the slightest negligence will inevitably arouse his suspicion. We must patiently wait for the right opportunity, and I will carefully plan the specific steps. Your top priority is to concentrate on your studies. The correct path is to continue the family line as soon as possible."

Prince Yongning, who grew up with his grandmother, had a strong bond with his elders. Seeing how devotedly his grandmother planned for him and tried to protect him from being implicated, he was so moved that he half-knelt down, tears glistening in his eyes: "Grandson, I understand."

While the grandfather and grandson were having this affectionate conversation, the joy between the newlyweds in the main hall of Shenxiu Temple gradually faded away.

The Prince of Yongning suddenly stopped lifting the bride's red scarf, left the table and went out, and has not returned since.

Shen Lingwei sat alone on the edge of the bed, completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

There was no one else to ask except the servants who stood silently, as respectful as stone statues.

After hearing about the situation at the banquet, Wei Lanqian quickly regained her composure after experiencing initial disbelief and a moment of panic.

Tonight should have been a beautiful night for Shen Lingwei, but Prince Yongning was obviously absent-minded. As long as he saw Shen Lingwei in a bad mood, Wei Lanqian felt happy.

"I can't find my cat. Let's go look for it."

Following Wei Lanqian's order, the palace servants around him quickly dispersed to search. The cat was specially prepared by the prince for the concubine. Because the concubine loved it very much, no mistakes were allowed.

After a lot of trouble, the cat still hadn't appeared. One of the maids looked a little anxious: "Could it have run into the master bedroom?"

After hearing this suggestion, Wei Lanqian chuckled softly, "Let's go and see the newlywed princess."

Just like that, accompanied by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, Wei Lanqian went straight to where Shen Lingwei was.

When Shen Lingwei heard the voice, she mistakenly thought that Prince Yongning had arrived, and hurriedly adjusted her demeanor to welcome her husband's return. Even through the red veil, she could not hide her shyness.

"Cousin, my beloved pet has been lost. Please allow me to bring my men in to search for it. Please don't mind."

Unexpectedly seeing Wei Lanqian appear in front of her made Shen Lingwei, who was already extremely nervous, feel at a loss - this was a great night for her and Prince Yongning!

How dare the other party be so arrogant!

Who on earth gave her such courage?

Where is the prince at this moment?

If I can't handle this incident properly, I'm afraid I'll give people something to criticize me for from now on...

Seeing that his newlywed wife hadn't responded yet, Wei Lanqian winked at someone nearby, and the maid stepped forward and said, "Princess, please forgive me. This kitten was given to the concubine by the prince as a gift. He instructed us to take good care of it. We've searched almost the entire mansion but haven't found it. This is the only place we haven't searched. Please be lenient and don't let us be blamed by the prince."

Using the name of Prince Yongning to intimidate others...

Although she didn't know how deep the favor between the concubines was, Shen Lingwei had no choice but to give in in the confusion. "Okay."

After getting permission, everyone immediately set about moving like ants moving house, rummaging through the house to find the missing kitten. Even after an incense stick of time had passed, there was still no trace of the cat, leaving the house in a mess.

Looking at the mess in front of her, Wei Lanqian, with a sweet smile still on her face, said, "In that case, cousin, you might as well rest early. I'm afraid the prince won't come tonight."

After that, she ordered her men to go down and said, "Hurry up and blow out the candles and close the doors and windows so that the princess can have a good rest."

When everyone left the room, Shen Lingwei, who was hiding under the veil, finally couldn't bear it anymore and lifted up the red gauze.

Using a few dim lights to observe the situation inside the room, all I saw was a desolate scene.

The dowry she originally brought with her was very little, and now it was torn to pieces.

She quietly picked up the scattered items on the ground, her heart raging with anger: "Wei Lanqian!!"

At the same time, Wei Lanqian, in high spirits, went to the Queen Mother to wait for Prince Yongning.

After a long journey back to his mansion, the prince saw the person who had been waiting for him for a long time and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The other party handed over a cloak and explained softly, "It's a cold night. Your Highness, please take care of yourself. I've been waiting here for a long time, worried about your well-being, and I haven't been able to sleep. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

At the moment, he did not have the time to care about too many details. He just quickly got dressed and hurried towards the Shenxiu Temple.

Wei Lanqian, who was following closely behind, panted and stopped at the door before saying, "Your Highness, my cousin must be exhausted after a busy day and has already fallen asleep. So tonight..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a response -

"Then I'll come directly to your place."

The next morning, according to the rules, the bride had to offer tea to the Empress Dowager and the Queen, and many royal relatives gathered together to witness this traditional ceremony.

In reality, His Majesty did not approve of Shen Muxue's visit, but she had already begun to act in a way that would please her: "Sister and I have a very close relationship. We just came in yesterday, so how could I not come and say hello?"

Since there was no other way, the emperor had to end the morning court early and accompany Shen Muxue.
