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

Although the recipient of this reward was not Shen Luoxi, it was still good news for the Shen family.

The Duke's face was filled with smiles as he continued to warmly entertain the guests.

The banquet reached its climax due to Shen Muxue's amazing transformation, and was finally a complete success.

After the guests left, Prince Xuan found Shen Muxue. He explained anxiously but sincerely, "Xue'er, the hairpin I gave you was for you. I had it delivered to the mansion yesterday. How could Luo Xi have taken it away?"

This statement seems to make sense.

But is it really such a coincidence that on the day it took months to carve it carefully, it was delivered to Shen Muxue's home while she was out?

Such a coincidence is a bit too far-fetched.

Even without considering emotional factors, just looking at this incident is enough to make people feel that the original heroine suffered a great loss.

It is understandable that the Shen family favors Shen Luoxi. After all, they are direct relatives and have a closer blood relationship.

But what about King Xuan?

He is Shen Muxue's betrothed to her since childhood.

It's only been a few days, and he changed his mind just because his original body was not of orthodox blood. No wonder some people sighed that he was really blind.

Shen Muxue returned to the mansion yesterday and learned a lot about the two of them. Outsiders thought they were a real couple.

At this moment, he came over to explain so nervously. Was it because he knew that Shen Muxue's current status was different from before and that she was favored by the Queen Mother?

But how can you treat someone so casually?

Thinking of this, Shen Muxue couldn't help but sneer in her heart, "Since my sister took it by mistake, why don't you go find her and ask her to return the one she originally intended to give me?"

After hearing this, King Xuan agreed immediately, and the speed with which he turned and left surprised Shen Muxue.

This guy can actually move easily between two women. His shamelessness is really rare.

Soon, King Xuan and Shen Luoxi appeared together.

The latter handed over the hairpin.

Obviously, Shen Luoxi's eyes were red and swollen from crying just now. She tried her best to suppress her smile and said, "Yesterday, the palace sent me something from the Fanhua Courtyard, and I thought it was mine. I was confused for a moment and forgot that it was where my sister used to live. That's why I made a mistake. Please don't blame me."

Pretending!

It’s as if I can’t do it.

Shen Muxue took the ornament and said calmly, "I just wanted to give my sister a gift myself."

As she spoke, Shen Muxue handed the hairpin to Shen Luoxi.

Shen Luoxi was a little hesitant. After all, this was a hairpin carved by Prince Xuan himself, and she really liked it. In the end, she reached out to take it.

"Oh, sister, why didn't you hold it properly? What a pity that it broke."

Shen Muxue suddenly let go, and the hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

This sudden scene made the two people opposite change their expressions.

Prince Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold. He thought Shen Muxue had broken the hairpin on purpose.

"Xue'er, are you angry with me?"

He asked, a hint of unease in his tone.

Shen Luoxi also hurried forward to persuade: "Sister, don't be angry, the prince didn't mean it. If you have any grievances, come to me."

Shen Muxue took a deep breath and said slowly, "Shen Luoxi, seventeen years ago, I was just a baby who knew nothing. The fact that our identities were swapped was not something I could control. Now that you are back, everything should naturally belong to you, including the status of the eldest daughter and the engagement with Prince Xuan. From now on, I no longer owe you anything."

After saying that, Shen Muxue turned around and was about to leave, but King Xuan grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going?"

King Xuan's voice was filled with urgency.

Shen Muxue raised the imperial edict in her hand slightly and said calmly, "Go to the palace to thank the Queen Mother."

"I'll go with you."

Shen Muxue felt helpless. She just couldn't get rid of him.

She quickened her pace, almost running, but King Xuan behind her seemed to be taking a walk, following her slowly.

Shen Luoxi called "Prince" several times from behind, and even called "Sister" a few times in a crying voice, but the two people in front walked forward without looking back.

In the carriage, Prince Xuan kept apologizing to Shen Muxue, his tone full of sincerity and pleading: "Luo Xi and I really don't have any special relationship, please don't misunderstand. She is your sister, and we will be family in the future. The exchange between us is just a few more words, and there is no special meaning."

However, Shen Muxue did not react to these explanations, because she had heard that King Xuan often accompanied Shen Luoxi to visit the lake and watch the lanterns in the past few days. When they strolled among the flowers under the moonlight, the two seemed to get along quite well. But now the other party insisted that this was a misunderstanding. Such words made her feel really exhausted.

"Your Highness, this marriage was arranged entirely by the Queen Mother's will and my grandmother's advice. As of today, I truly no longer wish to marry you, and Shen Luoxi seems perfectly suited to you. I sincerely wish you both happiness. Let us now go to the Queen Mother and request a formal order to end our engagement and to establish your marriage."

Shen Muxue calmly expressed her inner thoughts, even though every word pierced her heart like a needle.

Perhaps it was because these words had touched the most vulnerable part of his heart, or perhaps it was because he was truly unwilling to let go of this relationship that was facing its end before it even began. King Xuan's face flushed red, and flames seemed to dance in his eyes. He practically roared, "One day you will understand who truly exists in my heart."

After saying that, he hurriedly jumped off the moving carriage, leaving Shen Muxue alone as she drove towards the palace. She planned to find the supreme empress dowager to express her attitude towards marriage and express her gratitude for her care over the years.

"Xue'er, have you suffered any unfair treatment or oppression since returning to the Shen family mansion this time?"

After seeing Shen Muxue, the Queen Mother kindly grasped her hand and asked gently, as she usually did when asking a child, "Xue'er, what would you like to eat? Do you want someone to prepare some of your favorite food for you?"

Shen Muxue's eyes flushed slightly, and she said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I want to stay by your side forever and be a female official. Is that okay?"

Since her grandmother passed away, the Queen Mother's love and care have almost all shifted to Shen Muxue.

In the imperial city, the emperor had no children and few concubines around him, which made the deep palace seem particularly lonely.

Therefore, for Shen Muxue, being able to stay with the Empress Dowager is not only a spiritual comfort, but also a rare opportunity to improve the Emperor's impression of her. It can be said that there are many benefits.

However, upon hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned. She said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "If she becomes a formal court lady, then according to regulations, she must wait until she is twenty-five before she can marry. Do you think it's fair to let Prince Xuan wait until then?
