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

"Uh, what do you mean?"

She responded with a hint of doubt.

At this moment, my heart is full of confusion and curiosity.

"Duke Anguo, your father, requested an imperial decree granting marriage from His Majesty early this morning. What are your thoughts on this?"

The Queen Mother further clarified the situation.

What are your thoughts?

In fact, facing the sudden impact of information, Shen Muxue didn't dare to think too much. Apart from her father's always caring appearance, her mind seemed to be unable to hold anything else.

The feeling of being loved becomes particularly strong at this moment.

"My sister will be getting married in a month and becoming a happy bride. Perhaps my father is worried that he has neglected to take proper care of me, so he seems a little impatient to make up for what I have missed. I hope you, mother, will not be too worried."

This was the answer Shen Muxue gave after taking a deep breath. Her words were full of understanding for her family and also expressed her calm acceptance of her own situation.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face, which had been covered in frost, gradually broke into a subtle smile. However, the Empress Dowager, sitting on the throne, maintained her usual stern demeanor.

"Not only does your father feel deeply guilty, I, too, agree. For the development and growth of our Ming Dynasty, you have worked tirelessly over the years, making tremendous contributions. Yet, to this day, you have received no corresponding reward or recognition. This is truly unacceptable! In my opinion, how about directly conferring upon you the title of Commandery Princess, or even Princess? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Although the identities of county lady and village lady are already very noble, if she can be promoted to the status of princess or county lady, it means that from now on she will be completely integrated into the imperial family and become an extremely close member of the royal family.

The Queen Mother's real intention is to test the current Emperor's thoughts.

Either he decided to marry this intelligent, capable and beautiful woman in person, or he had to make a choice and formally acknowledge her as his half-sister.

Faced with such a complex and intractable situation, His Majesty the Emperor could only force a smile to dispel the tense and delicate atmosphere. "Recently, due to the frequent wars, the national treasury has been severely depleted. I beg Your Majesty to remain patient and give me a little more time to consider."

Regarding this obviously meaningless answer, "Then how long do we have to wait? Will it take another ten or eight years?"

The strong-willed Queen Mother continued to press the issue.

Seeing that things had come to this point and there was no way back, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "In that case, let's tentatively announce the final results in a month and a half."

The emperor replied.

This means that Shen Muxue can only stand in front of everyone in a public capacity after Prince Xuan officially completes his marriage.

In fact, the development of all these situations was exactly in line with Shen Muxue's initial expectations, so she was not surprised at all.

On the contrary, the Queen Mother seemed extremely happy, with a smile on her face.

She was very pleased that her son, who had never cared much about love affairs, was willing to accept the concubine's advice this time. This finally made her put down a heavy burden in her heart, and she no longer had to worry that if something unexpected happened in the future, her son would spend the rest of his life alone.

In this atmosphere, in sharp contrast to the delighted empress dowager, there seemed to be an indescribable sense of distance between the emperor and Shen Muxue.

It was as if we were separated by an invisible line, and our hearts were getting further and further apart.

It was not until nightfall that people really noticed the problem - because even though it was late, Shen Muxue never went to the council hall to visit the emperor.

This discovery made the Queen Mother realize for the first time that there was something wrong between the young couple.

In private, when the Queen Mother asked the reason, Shen Muxue said shyly: "It just happened to be a day when I was not feeling well."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately understood what Shen Muxue was referring to, but at the same time, she knew very well that this was not the fundamental reason for the current situation.

Then, after listening to Eunuch Peng's gentle explanation, the Empress Dowager's doubts were instantly resolved: "Could it be that the Emperor did this intentionally? Is it because of some inexplicable feeling he has towards this matter?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Peng nodded gently in affirmation. "I hope Your Majesty can help mediate this matter. We haven't seen each other since that day, and it has made Your Majesty very depressed lately."

However, faced with this situation, the Queen Mother did not respond immediately. Instead, she said somewhat reluctantly, "Let him adjust his mindset. He's enjoyed a peaceful and tranquil life for so long. It's not bad to occasionally experience a love dispute and the accompanying troubles. Otherwise, will he have to rely on Xue'er to comfort him whenever he encounters something unpleasant in the future?"

Eunuch Peng retreated silently, his footsteps light and soundless, while the empress dowager covered her mouth and chuckled, with a barely perceptible tenderness in her eyes.

It seems that his son has finally begun to come into contact with the secular emotional world full of love, hate, and hatred.

For two consecutive days, the emperor continued to show obvious emotional fluctuations.

Whether it was his deep contemplation during court meetings or his impatient frown when reviewing memorials, it all showed his inner unrest.

But Shen Muxue never took the initiative to meet him, as if she was deliberately avoiding this complicated emotional entanglement.

In the end, the emperor, who could no longer bear it, summoned Shen Muxue in person.

Shen Muxue came to pay her respects calmly, with a leisurely gait and no emotion on her face, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

This made the emperor's anger burn again, and he was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

He gripped the armrests of the dragon throne so tightly that his nails almost dug into the wood.

The anger and dissatisfaction of the past few days seemed to have no effect on Shen Muxue.

She stood there like a cold statue, allowing the emperor's anger to surge like a tide, but remained indifferent.

The emperor could no longer contain himself and angrily demanded, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."

Shen Muxue replied calmly.

Her voice was low and firm, and her words, though brief, were filled with concern.

After all, her future children will inherit half of their genes from their father.

If the emperor's health fails, his children may have health problems in the future.

From her words, the emperor could feel the sincere concern behind the stiffness, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

"Are you willing to become a member of my palace?"

The emperor asked cautiously.
