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

After he finally became emperor as time went by, he did not feel too excited or happy when his kind grandmother selected a large number of women as his partners.

Instead, he made a choice that surprised everyone - he personally arranged for those innocent girls to go to distant places to practice and learn skills.

Although this decision surprised everyone, it also demonstrated his deep understanding and experience of the lonely and desolate life behind power.

As the days passed, after gradually feeling bored, she finally decided to confess the secret that had been hidden for many years to her elders: it turned out that she had been unable to have children for many years due to long-term use of certain drugs.

The brief period of peace after learning the truth made him more determined to find a suitable candidate to inherit the throne and end this long monarchical career as soon as possible to return to a quiet life.

However, fate played a trick on her, and something unexpected happened at this time: by chance, she accidentally met King Xuan's future spouse and had a relationship with her, thus starting an experience full of ups and downs.

This unexpected encounter not only disrupted their originally peaceful life, but also cast an unspeakable cloud over everyone's heart.

At this moment, when he glanced at his wife sleeping beside him and the life in her belly that carried their common hope, he suddenly realized: Although he used to think that he did not have too many expectations for his future children, and even felt that these were not important, when he learned that his wife was pregnant with a new life, he was still very excited and expressed deep gratitude to the gods in the world.

It turns out that I can have my own flesh and blood in this life.

This sudden good news was like a flash of lightning that streaked across the night sky, illuminating every dark corner of his heart.

Shen Muxue quietly got up from the bed at night, only to see the emperor staring at her with an unusual light in his eyes.

That abnormal gaze made her feel cold in her heart, as if she could foresee some impending storms, and she was afraid that he would do something that would be detrimental to her because he was unwilling to accept the fact of the unborn child's existence.

"Your Majesty, I am now six months pregnant and it is unsuitable for me to remain in the palace to serve you. Please allow me to move somewhere else temporarily."

Shen Muxue made her request carefully, trying to reduce potential risks by changing the current situation.

"No."

The emperor's answer was almost immediate and unquestionable, and his tone was particularly firm.

As if realizing that his attitude might be too decisive, he added, "I am not the kind of person who only values ​​lust."

Although she was already accustomed to the way they got along, this sentence almost touched the softest part of Shen Muxue's heart, and almost moved this usually strong woman.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtains, Shen Muxue had hurriedly packed her luggage and prepared to return to Anle Palace to live.

Although she was still nervous, she knew that this was the best and only solution at the moment.

On the same day, at the morning court session held in the solemn and magnificent hall, the emperor completed the daily political review process with a calm and composed attitude.

As the meeting came to an end, the ministers turned their attention to the eunuch leader, Eunuch Peng, who was standing aside waiting for orders, waiting for him to announce his exit instructions.

But what was unusual was that today the emperor did not stand up immediately to dismiss everyone as usual, but sat quietly on the throne that symbolized supreme power and fell into his own deep thought.

At this moment, Eunuch Peng, who had seen this, immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty~"

Hoping to awaken the monarch who was lost in his own thoughts.

The emperor came to his senses, looked around, and slowly scanned the faces of each minister.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then asked, "Is Duke Anguo here?"

Duke Anguo immediately realized that his name was being called, and without hesitation, he quickly stepped out of the queue, walked before the emperor, knelt respectfully, and replied, "Your humble servant is here, waiting for your majesty's instructions."

After hearing the reply, the emperor's expression remained calm, his tone calm and forceful: "Your family discipline is not strict, so you will be fined one year's salary. At the same time, because of the Queen's contribution to the pregnancy, I will reward you with 865 taels of silver."

After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that they could leave.

Although Anguo Gong was a little surprised, he remained calm on the surface and kowtowed again in response, "I accept your command and thank you."

Then he stood up carefully and returned to his seat to wait for the next court meeting.

After hearing the emperor's decree, Duke Anguo felt a little puzzled, because the amount of the fine was exactly the same as the amount of the reward. This meant that there was no substantial change in gains and losses. This made him wonder if it was just a harmless little joke that the emperor played on a whim?

Seeing this, several colleagues nearby whispered to each other, "Hey, maybe our emperor still hasn't woken up this morning, so he started to openly tease our mature and prudent An Guo!"

As these discussions spread, all the civil and military officials in the hall seemed to suddenly understand something.

Could it be that our queen, the mother of the country, is pregnant?

But is this an official announcement or just a misunderstanding caused by the emperor's momentary confusion?

After returning to the Qinzheng Hall to handle daily government affairs, even the emperor himself, who was high above everyone else, felt that some of his previous words and actions did seem a bit hasty and careless.

But after all, there is an important opportunity to continue the imperial bloodline and prolong the dynasty for generations to come. As a king, how can he easily remain completely unmoved?

In fact, the actions of punishing and rewarding An Guogong this time were not just to make the other party aware of the interests involved.

He also took this opportunity to announce an important news to the court and the public in advance: in the near future, the royal family will add new members to further stabilize the political situation.

The news quickly spread like wildfire inside and outside the capital: the news that the emperor had a son in his old age instantly became the focus of everyone's after-dinner conversation.

Inside the palace, after learning that Shen Muxue had moved back to Anle Palace, the emperor hurried there.

At this time, Shen Muxue was snuggling beside the Queen Mother and acting coquettishly: "I still love Grandmother the most. I just want to live with you. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few months without you..."

Shen Muxue's voice was as soft as drizzle, and every word seemed to drip into one's heart, making people feel pity involuntarily.

After listening to Shen Muxue's words, the Queen Mother only thought about the fact that she didn't get enough rest.

Thinking that Xueer is pregnant now, she cannot suffer any grievances or fatigue again.
