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

Although the explanation sounded reasonable, Shen Luoxi's heart was still filled with an indescribable sense of loss: Doesn't this indirectly indicate that after this grand celebration, she has become an unappreciated existence?

If this matter were to get out, wouldn't her situation become even more embarrassing and awkward?

Thinking of this, her mood became even heavier, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest and she couldn't relax at all.

Shen Luoxi finally waited until dawn, and she immediately got up and went to King Xuan's study.

She is the daughter of the principal wife of the Duke of Anguo and has a noble status. She is not one of those girls from ordinary families who can be looked down upon by Prince Xuan.

She received a good education since childhood and naturally has dignity and demeanor, and should not be easily ignored.

After a whole night, King Xuan's mood had gradually calmed down a lot.

He has realized that since he has lost Shen Muxue, he can no longer offend Shen Luoxi.

You know, the Anguo Duke power behind Shen Luoxi will become his most important support force in the future, which is crucial to the stability of his throne.

As for how to appease Shen Muxue, King Xuan already had a plan in mind.

We must do everything we can to make her happy.

If there is a chance in the future, he can even promise her the position of queen as compensation.

After all, for women, status and reputation are of vital importance, and this is their lifelong pursuit.

As long as he can satisfy Shen Muxue and win the favor of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, his throne will be as stable as Mount Tai.

For the sake of the queen position, Shen Muxue will probably not deliberately create trouble again.

By the same token, Shen Luoxi also needs to be coaxed, after all, they are related by blood.

"Luo Xi, why are you up so early? Did you sleep well last night?"

King Xuan asked with a gentle smile on his face when he saw her come in.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luoxi was stunned and immediately came back to her senses, almost forgetting the purpose of her trip.

Perhaps, as the nanny had said before, the reason why the prince cared so much about her was because she was pregnant.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine. Your Highness, have you finished packing? If everything is ready, let's go to the palace and offer tea to the elders."

Shen Luoxi asked softly, with a hint of tenderness and expectation in her tone.

Prince Xuan was an orphan who grew up under the protection of the Queen Mother.

His growth process was full of hardships and tribulations, and now the only people he can call family are the emperor and the empress dowager.

This lonely experience made him especially cherish the warmth in front of him.

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace. The scenery along the way was picturesque, but Prince Xuan's eyes were not attracted by the scenery outside.

He looked at Shen Luoxi with some worry, secretly worrying whether she would make any mistakes in the upcoming court etiquette.

"Prince Yi currently resides in Changping Palace. I've heard he's deeply loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Some court officials are even considering naming Prince Yi as one of the Crown Prince's successors."

"How could this happen! Hasn't the Emperor always favored the Prince the most?"

Shen Luoxi couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this.

In her eyes, it was almost certain that Prince Xuan would become the future monarch, especially after marrying her, a wife from a prominent family, his status should be more stable.

"This is because the prince accidentally offended the queen mother, so the queen mother chose to adopt Prince Yi into the palace."

Prince Xuan said lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Then...how did the prince offend the Queen Mother?"

Shen Luoxi asked, confusion and concern in her eyes.

King Xuan smiled slightly but did not answer the question.

He sighed in his heart, Shen Luoxi was indeed simple and innocent, and did not understand the complex relationships in the palace well enough.

Then he reached out and gently stroked her abdomen, and asked softly, "Does the baby make you feel uncomfortable?"

Shen Luoxi felt warm in her heart, and felt a warm current like spring slowly spreading in her heart.

Then, she recalled the conversation between her and Prince Xuan just now and the change in atmosphere, and immediately came to her senses: the reason why Prince Xuan was reprimanded so harshly by the Queen Mother was probably because she had resolutely chosen to marry Prince Xuan regardless of everything.

Such a decision undoubtedly took away all the glory that should have belonged to Shen Muxue and made her lose the opportunity to rise to the top overnight.

Thinking of this, Shen Luoxi understood that this was actually the Queen Mother's means of revenge - venting her dissatisfaction by punishing herself and her husband.

Thinking of this, Shen Luoxi's face began to change constantly, turning red and white, and it was obvious that she was in an extremely complicated mood.

After a long while, she finally heard her voice filled with resentment: "It must be that sweet-mouthed but treacherous sister who's been stirring up trouble behind our backs. On the surface, she pretended to agree to our marriage, but secretly tipped off the Queen Mother and encouraged her to make things difficult for us."

"Regardless of whether this incident was truly the work of Mu Xue, we can no longer afford to offend this favored young master. We must find the right opportunity as soon as possible to cheer her up. This way, perhaps we can leverage her connections to ease the Queen Mother's stance."

When he said this, King Xuan's expression was very serious. "Do you think you can understand and accept all the principles I have said?"

After hearing this, Shen Luoxi suddenly felt as if a ball of anger was about to burst out in her chest, and in a fit of rage she almost tore the silk handkerchief in her hand to pieces.

Not long ago, they had a heated argument over something, and now, for the sake of the greater good, they had to deliberately bow their heads, show weakness, and actively show goodwill to each other...

The feeling of humiliation is simply indescribable!

However, the current situation is stronger than people, so I have to temporarily suppress all emotional fluctuations.

When one day in the future I can really sit on the throne of queen, I will definitely give certain people the due retaliation!

When the two stepped out of the carriage and entered the Changping Palace in the imperial palace, Shen Luoxi had completely changed her original angry and arrogant expression, and appeared in front of everyone with a gentle and amiable look.

She just bowed to the Queen Mother in a soft voice, then turned to her sister Shen Muxue and said many compliments.

Shen Muxue, who was standing aside and listening to all the conversations silently, was full of doubts and puzzles in her heart: Why in just two days, the woman who once walked ahead of everyone with such an arrogant attitude suddenly turned into the gentle image she is now?

What unknown things happened here?

The Queen Mother seemed to have noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere between the two. She randomly picked out a golden hairpin inlaid with pearls and handed it to the former as a reward before waving her hand and dismissing her. "I have been feeling a little tired lately. From now on, you two sisters can have a good chat."
