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

Shen Muxue wasn't about to admit anything easily. "I'm afraid Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have always admired the Emperor's grace and have never dared to harbor any ill intentions, nor have I ever entertained any inappropriate thoughts. Furthermore, until recently, I was considered a member of Your Majesty's future family."

As Shen Muxue behaved more frankly and naturally, the emperor's expression became more serious, and his anger grew stronger.

[System Warning: The current character's favorability is rapidly declining, from 84 to 83 and then to 82...]

What on earth is going on?

Seeing that the favorability value that was hard-earned was gradually disappearing, but on the surface, the emperor's mood did not seem to fluctuate much.

Why are my moods so unstable?

"Are you still thinking about that King Xuan?"

The emperor asked, suppressing his anger.

He had already accepted her as someone by his side, but she was still thinking about someone else. This feeling of being ignored made him very dissatisfied.

Since the emperor usually behaved indifferently, Shen Muxue was completely unaware that she had angered the emperor. Only the continuously declining favorability value reminded her that the emperor's heart was not as calm as his appearance showed.

This made her situation even more embarrassing and dangerous.

"Your Majesty, are you angry?"

Shen Muxue asked cautiously and tentatively, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her voice, afraid of touching the emperor's bottom line.

"Tell me, where do you lean? Is it Prince Xuan, or do you hope that Madam Kang can help you find a good husband, such as the heir of Marquis Pingnan or the son of Marquis Nanding?"

The emperor's tone was stern, and every word he said revealed his deep concern about this issue.

[System warning, favorability 77, 76, 75...]

Faced with this situation, Shen Muxue became even more anxious and completely confused about His Majesty's intentions - did he not want her anymore?

Or do you plan to marry her off?

These two thoughts made her feel uneasy.

If she confessed her feelings directly at this time, she would probably be treated coldly again. Shen Muxue could only choose to deal with it carefully.

"I have never had such an idea."

This sentence obviously did not satisfy the emperor. He took half a step closer, and the distance between them was almost negligible. The air became extremely ambiguous, like a fuse ready to explode.

"Well, think about it now."

[System warning, favorability dropped to 62, 61, 60...]

After feeling the other party say these words with gritted teeth, Shen Muxue guessed that maybe it was really jealousy that made His Majesty react like this?

She was full of doubts, but had to answer carefully.

"My heart belongs only to Your Majesty."

Her voice was firm yet gentle, hoping to convey genuine emotion.

[Congratulations, Master. Your favorability has risen to 60, 61, 62...]

It was an unexpected success that saved the situation. Shen Muxue felt relieved but also a little lucky.

In the following time, Shen Muxue's ears were filled with the mechanical yet crisp sounds of the system.

[Host is lucky, favorability value rises to 73, 74, 75...]

[Keep working hard, the favorability value reaches 83, 84, 85...] As the mechanical sound of the system echoed in her mind, Shen Muxue's heartbeat continued to accelerate, as if she could feel every tiny progress.

Every bit of progress meant that her relationship with him was getting closer and closer.

After the emperor's low and magnetic voice, she suddenly felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.

It was as if all her efforts had paid off at this moment, and her favorability instantly soared to an unprecedented peak - 100.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to become clearer and brighter to her.

When the storm subsided, Shen Muxue couldn't wait to ask, "How much is it now?"

There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, mixed with a hint of anticipation.

[It has fallen slightly from its peak, but please rest assured, it will rise again with further interaction later.]

The response from the system made her feel disappointed. Although she knew it was impossible to maintain the maximum value all the time, she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Faced with such feedback, Shen Muxue complained silently in her heart, but before these thoughts could fully form, the person next to her had already turned over.

It was obvious that he was ready to start a new day, but for Shen Muxue, this was just the end of a long night.

Throughout the night, her mood went up and down like a roller coaster, changing with every subtle change, until it finally stabilized at the first light of dawn, and finally stopped at the number 86.

Looking at the number in front of her, although it did not reach the expected full score, it already made her feel satisfied.

At dawn, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the house through the curtains, Shen Muxue resolutely rejected the system's suggestion to take the fertility pill and chose to return quietly to the Changping Palace she was familiar with.

In this turbulent and uncertain time, if she rashly reveals her pregnancy to the public, it will undoubtedly have a huge negative impact on her reputation.

In addition, once the news spreads that she broke off her engagement with Prince Xuan and then quickly became the emperor's concubine, it will definitely cause a lot of gossip outside.

It would be better to wait for the right opportunity and make plans when the conditions are ripe.

As time went by, this pattern gradually became the norm and lasted for about half a month.

One morning, just when everyone thought everything was back to normal, the Queen Mother suddenly said to her with a hint of sarcasm, "It's quite cold at night, and you've been traveling so frequently. Aren't you tired yourself out? Why not rest for half a day before considering other matters?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Muxue immediately felt her face burning, as if she was afraid that her thoughts would be seen through by the other party. She hurriedly stammered and tried to change the subject, hoping to get away with it and not be pursued further.

However, seeing the young woman's flushed face, the clever Empress Dowager naturally guessed what was going on. She smiled and waved her hand to signal for the matter to be dismissed. She then turned and approached the ever-tactful and trustworthy Eunuch Peng. "His Majesty has rarely come to pay his respects to me lately. Do you know if he's in good health? Is he getting enough sleep and getting enough rest?"

The other person wore his signature amiable smile and replied calmly, "To answer the Queen Mother's question, from what I have seen and heard, the Emperor is in excellent health. It is precisely because of his excessive energy that his sleep quality has been affected."

Hearing this answer, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth slightly raised: "In this situation, you don't even try to persuade her."

"His Majesty has specifically ordered that servants be forbidden from approaching within ten meters of his bedroom, stating that he needs solitude and rest."

Eunuch Peng explained calmly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

The two smiled at each other, as if they both understood the meaning.
