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

But the Queen Mother knew she couldn't express her displeasure directly to his face, as that would only prompt her son to retort, "When you sent me to the monastery to practice, wasn't it because you hoped I would live a celibate life? Now that I've achieved that, are you dissatisfied?"

After a moment's silence, the Emperor continued, "Originally, I planned to abdicate the throne soon and focus on training Prince Xuan to be my successor. But now that I have decided to accept Shen Muxue into the palace to spend the rest of my life with me, I hope to select some suitable-aged sons of the same clan to adopt as our children, raising them to adulthood, and providing her with support and comfort in her later years."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "It should be so."

Soon after, several young princes began to frequently come and go in Changping Palace.

Their figures often shuttled between palaces, or played in the courtyard, or studied seriously in the room.

Shen Muxue was completely unaware of this and thought that the Queen Mother was just bored and wanted to find some lively children to keep her company and entertain herself.

Who would have thought that one day after these children arrived, the Empress Dowager suddenly pulled her aside, her expression unusually serious, and she spoke word by word, "You should be aware that three years ago, the Imperial Hospital officially announced that the Emperor was unfit to have children due to his physical condition. Although there was previously a plan to have Prince Xuan inherit the throne, it now seems that this option is not suitable. Recently, the Emperor and I have discussed many times, and I want to select a little boy from among them and give him to you to raise so that he can serve the Emperor in the future."

It was not until this moment that Shen Muxue suddenly realized that the children who were laughing and playing in the palace had actually come to choose a stepson.

No wonder the Queen Mother had been suggesting that she take the children out to play more often these days, and often asked her which child she liked the most.

This situation is really laughable.

Since everyone agrees that the emperor will not have any biological children, and this fact is already before their eyes, even if I say with certainty that I am capable of having offspring, I am afraid no one will be willing to believe it.

In desperation, he had to choose a young man from among them and regard him as his future support. When Prince Xuan got married in the future, he might even try to use some medicine to promote fertility.

It’s not too late to make further decisions then.

In this way, the young Prince Yi was left in the palace to continue living.

Although this matter was not publicized, Prince Xuan was an important figure who often visited the palace, and he soon noticed the unusual situation behind it.

He was deeply worried, fearing that one day he would really lose the trust and favor of the emperor and the empress dowager.

After a difficult sleepless night, Prince Xuan gradually calmed down and finally understood something: if he wanted to regain the support and trust of the royal family, the most effective way was to find a breakthrough in his relationship with Shen Muxue.

The night before she learned that her sister was going to become a princess, Shen Muxue returned home to prepare for the wedding ceremony.

During this period, she was completely immersed in the preparations for her upcoming wedding, and she still knew nothing about the new young man who stayed in Changping Palace and the problems faced by Prince Xuan.

Recently, she has devoted herself to the dowry arrangements, busy selecting dowry and decorating the new house. She personally checks every item to ensure that everything is perfect.

Day after day, the day of the formal wedding is finally here.

Before leaving, her elder sister held her hand and said proudly, "This child is a fusion of the essence of the royal family and our Shen family. When he grows up, he will definitely be able to shoulder the important responsibilities of governing the country or leading the army in battle!"

Hearing these compliments, Shen Muxue couldn't help but chuckle. She smiled and responded, "Yes, just as brave and responsible as my father was back then!"

The pride on her face was as if she had foreseen the glorious moments in the future.

Faced with such a harmonious and warm scene, Shen Luoxi also seemed particularly satisfied. He then added, "Now that he has been recognized by His Majesty, this child who may inherit the throne in the future will surely have a brighter and more glorious future. My dear sister, before this happy day, I have decided not to pursue the minor mistakes you made before. I only hope that you can welcome this marriage peacefully. And, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the days ahead, as your brother, I will do my utmost to fight for opportunities and support for you."

Does it seem like the curtain has been raised on the queen's noble life?

I can actually imagine such a beautiful future!

This scene made the little girl next to them laugh so hard that she almost bent over because of trying to hold back her laughter.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Shen Luoxi frowned slightly and glanced over with a hint of displeasure in her eyes: "You are young now, so naturally you think everything is easy to deal with, as if nothing in the world can stump you. In fact, there are still many days to come, and many things are not as simple as they seem. Today I am providing you with such a good opportunity to get close to and curry favor with me. You must not ignore this precious fate because of your momentary arrogance. After all, there are countless people in the world who are willing to take the initiative to curry favor with you. The key lies in whether they are willing to accept this kindness..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several guests present, even some friends who had previously had a close relationship with him, all began to show an attitude of obvious fawning.

Some people put on smiles, some were secretly thinking about how to get in touch, and some just came over and started to flatter.

Seeing that the other party was gradually moving from an ordinary scholar to the pinnacle of life, the trend had already formed...

After entering the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion as she wished, the bride's face was both shy and excited hidden under the red veil in the wedding sedan.

Whenever the door curtain was slightly lifted, my heart, beating with nervousness and anticipation, would involuntarily quicken its rhythm.

However, to her great regret, the person who came into the room several times was not the one she expected, and she still did not wait for the important moment of her husband recognizing her until late at night.

The bridal chamber, which should have been filled with festive atmosphere, suddenly became deserted, with an indescribable sense of loss in the air.

How could the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo be treated so coldly?

In order to save some face and to comfort herself a little, the bride had to send someone to invite the groom back.

The servant who returned with the message replied, "The young master drank tonight in his study until he fell asleep drunk. Considerately considering the young lady's current health condition, he chose to stay alone rather than ask someone else to perform the wedding night ritual on her behalf."

Although this sentence seemed to be said to soothe the young lady's emotions, it actually added a sense of sadness.
