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

Her compassion as a mother and elder prevailed, and she immediately ordered, "Well, your bedroom has been cleaned and tidied. From today on, you will stay here."

The Queen Mother's tone was full of love and care. Every detail was carefully considered, for fear that her beloved granddaughter would suffer even the slightest unhappiness.

I thought I could be happy for a moment, but the Queen Mother actually went on to talk about other arrangements: "If His Majesty is short of personal servants, I will send a few over to serve him, so as to avoid constantly troubling our Great Qing Queen."

I originally thought that the matter was resolved, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother actually had follow-up arrangements. It seems that her considerations are indeed thoughtful.

Considering that the Queen Mother was obviously saying this out of concern, even though it seemed a little inappropriate, Shen Muxue still chose to respond with a magnanimous attitude: "The Queen Mother is right. Our palace does seem to be much quieter. It wouldn't be a bad idea to add some people to it."

Although her words were gentle and graceful, she felt an indescribable uneasiness in her heart.

However, in the face of the Queen Mother's concern, she could only temporarily suppress her uneasiness and try her best to show understanding and cooperation.

It happened that the emperor came into the room at this time. When he heard that they were discussing this matter, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He has always been very sensitive to palace affairs, especially when these matters are directly related to him, his vigilance almost reaches an extreme.

This sudden change scared a young palace maid who was serving tea in the hall so much that she almost broke the tray in her hand and knelt down hurriedly to beg for forgiveness.

The little maid was obviously frightened by this sudden situation, fearing that she would get into big trouble if she was not careful.

The Queen Mother, who was completely clueless about the situation, waved him away and then turned to ask why: "Is there an urgent matter at court?"

There was a hint of doubt and confusion in the Queen Mother's tone. She didn't know what could have caused the usually steady emperor to lose his composure like this.

The emperor snorted coldly and replied, "There are no major events in the outer court for now, but there may be twists and turns in the inner court soon."

The emperor's attitude was very cold, and as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him became more solemn.

He did not agree with the Queen Mother's arrangement, believing that it would intensify the conflicts in the palace and affect his own position.

"There are only the two of us in the palace, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How could there be any trouble? Your Majesty, please do not worry too much."

The Queen Mother's words were full of confusion. She didn't understand why her son cared so much about such a small matter.

After all, in her opinion, personnel changes in the palace were just part of daily management and would not cause any disturbance.

The emperor responded pointedly, "Aren't mother and the empress planning to bring in a new bride? With so many people and so many opinions, chaos will naturally arise. I don't think we should keep this baby, or who knows who will harm it in the future."

The emperor made no secret of his opposition to the plan.

He was worried that the newcomers would threaten the status and even the safety of his future offspring.

Faced with this rebuttal, the Queen Mother blushed slightly, remembering the huge price she had paid for this and knowing well the cruelty and ruthlessness of the struggle in the deep palace.

Now that we finally have a grandson, how can we easily introduce more disputes?

She couldn't help but sigh. Xue'er was simple and kind-hearted. Once there were more people in the palace, she would inevitably be bullied until nothing was left of her.

Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty and uneasy.

Indeed, she is really old and has not thought things through carefully enough. She should not act so rashly.

"The Queen fears that she is pregnant and unable to serve His Majesty, so she suggests that I select a few beauties for you."

Shen Muxue was pushed to the forefront by the Empress Dowager. Facing the Emperor's angry eyes, she felt wronged but had no tears to cry.

Her face turned extremely pale, and countless complicated emotions surged in her heart. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss and could not escape this sudden accusation.

The Queen Mother was indeed a veteran in palace struggles. She didn't even need to draft a plan when it came to framing someone.

Shen Muxue's heart tightened under the emperor's gaze. The oppressive feeling made her almost breathless. She hesitated and said, "That was just a spur of the moment, a joke..."

"Yes, we were just chatting casually. Has Your Majesty had dinner yet?"

Seeing this, the palace attendant gently changed the topic to dinner. The emperor's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said to Shen Muxue, "If you say it's a joke, then why did the queen move all the bedding back to Anle Palace?"

"It's just that the weather is getting colder, and I wanted to change to a warmer set of bedding to prevent catching a cold at night, so I temporarily put back the thinner set."

Shen Muxue tried hard to remain calm and make her tone sound calm and credible.

Shen Muxue gave herself a thumbs up for her wit in her heart, and secretly sighed that she was indeed a little extraordinary.

She felt that in this dangerous harem, being able to deal with such a situation calmly was a rare wisdom.

Finally, the three of them enjoyed a dinner peacefully.

Although the aroma of dishes filled the air on the table, everyone had their own worries in their hearts, especially the subtle atmosphere between Shen Muxue and the emperor had not completely disappeared.

Lying in bed at night, the emperor still had some anger in his heart.

He frowned tightly, staring at the moonlight outside the window. After a moment of silence, he turned around and asked Shen Muxue, "Do you really want to find a concubine for me?"

Hearing this, Shen Muxue was stunned at first, and then doubts arose in her heart: How could this be true?

After all, she just wanted to have a few days of peace and quiet and didn't want to make things difficult for herself.

She proposed this idea only to show her tolerance and magnanimity, and she knew very well in her heart that the emperor would never agree to her request.

If it were really possible, she would not rashly make such a suggestion.

Although these words only existed in her mind, she knew that she must never speak her true thoughts directly.

Half-standing up from the bed, Shen Muxue tried hard to adjust her posture and pretend to be weak.

"I am of humble origin, and ever since I became empress, I have always felt as though I were somewhat overwhelmed. To be worthy of this lofty position and your kindness to me, Your Majesty, I truly do not know how else to repay your grace, other than selecting new concubines for you. Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence..."

Before she could finish her words, the last trace of dissatisfaction on the face of the supreme emperor in front of her completely disappeared.

He had never expected that the queen, who had always been straightforward and cheerful, would become so sensitive and fragile. Perhaps it was because he paid her too little attention in his daily life, which led to such emotional changes.
