Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 238: Recruiting Newcomers
He immediately reached out and hugged her tightly, saying gently, "So this is how you think about this, Xue'er. Now that you've become my wife, I hope you can live a happy and carefree life without having to worry about how to repay me all day long."
"Anything I do for you is done out of my heart. I promise not to let any woman destroy our relationship. As long as you are still willing to stay by my side at night, there is no other woman in the world who can make my eyes linger."
After hearing this, Shen Muxue nodded gently to show her understanding, but still asked somewhat unwillingly: "Then when I am pregnant and have to leave here temporarily and cannot sleep with you every night for a period of time, will Your Majesty change your mind?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Almost without hesitation, he answered, "How could I do something to hurt you during such a special time when you need love and care? It's simply inhumane. You just need to rest and recuperate. No matter when or where, no one else has the right to share my feelings except you. If one day in the future, it is you who unfortunately passes away prematurely, I will immediately sever my ties with the world, become a monk, and completely distance myself from the troubled world."
Shen Muxue felt quite comforted by this oath-like promise. She yawned and said softly, "It's getting late, Your Majesty. It's time to rest."
As she spoke, she turned sideways comfortably and closed her eyes.
Then he turned over and fell asleep.
On the other side, the emperor, who was originally planning to continue expressing his feelings but was suddenly interrupted by her and ended his sleep plan, was stunned for a moment, muttering in his heart: How could I fall asleep so quickly?
I clearly have a lot of things I want to say to her.
In Prince Xuan's Mansion, Shen Luoxi quietly waited for someone from Duke Anguo's Mansion to come and take her home.
When she bought the drug, the seller told her clearly and in detail that the drug would not kill the user, but would make the user's mind confused, leaving only the most cherished fragments of their memories.
In the past few days, Duke Anguo has been keeping her out, but Shen Luoxi knows very well that all of this is out of Lord Wei's personal wish.
Mrs. Kang never forgot her and always kept her long-lost child in her mind.
As long as Mrs. Kang accidentally took the medicine she carefully prepared and got sick, then as the daughter who had been reunited after a long separation, her importance and status in her mother's heart could not be replaced by anyone.
By then, not only would no one stop her from entering the Anguo Mansion to visit her biological mother, but she might even be invited back to comfort the old man who was lonely and longing for companionship.
However, no matter how long she waited, not only did no one come out to welcome her home, but even the people who were sent out to inquire about the situation came back with the same news.
Mrs. Kang is currently in very good health and does not suffer from any illness or discomfort.
After learning about this abnormal phenomenon, Shen Luoxi, who was originally calm, began to show more and more anxiety and impatience.
Faced with the change in Shen Luoxi's mood, King Xuan just watched silently with cold eyes.
In his opinion, it would be great if his wife could really benefit from this matter.
On the contrary, if he failed and was thrown into jail, the only thing he would lose would be a princess.
And this is exactly what he has always wanted to do: find a new, more desirable wife.
After thinking about this possible development prospect, Prince Xuan simply took the initiative to ask to go to the royal mausoleum to guard it for several months. The purpose was to ensure that he had enough time to prove that he was not in the capital during this period, and to give Shen Luoxi enough space to make trouble on her own.
If Shen Luoxi really got into trouble, at least he was guarding the ancestral tomb in a distant imperial mausoleum at the time, so he naturally did not need to be responsible for her actions.
In the end, the person who will take care of the aftermath will definitely have to rely on the Anguo Mansion to bear this responsibility.
Not long after, perhaps because the court officials were too bored with their work, someone openly proposed at a routine court meeting to hold a beauty contest for the emperor, intending to use it to select new beauties to enter the palace, thereby adding vitality and vigor to the royal bloodline.
After hearing this sudden and unforeseen proposal, the emperor's face instantly turned gloomy.
Since he had been deeply poisoned and harmed by the royal power struggle since he was a child, he could not allow his beloved relatives to step into this muddy abyss again.
So, without any room for negotiation, he decisively rejected the suggestion and firmly stated: "Our government is currently in a very tight financial situation and simply does not have the extra resources to care about expanding the harem. Therefore, I ask all ministers not to bring up this matter again in the future."
If the emperor had not firmly denied it when the matter was first mentioned, it would have given others a handle to think that he was a lustful person.
The ministers in the court were well aware of this, and they were planning to bring up the matter a few more times so that the emperor would be reluctantly willing to accept their suggestion for the selection of concubines.
what?
Does anyone really believe that the emperor has no interest in women?
If he said that he did not appoint a queen, then perhaps a few people would believe him.
But now even the queen is pregnant with the emperor's son. It is obvious that this is the "result" of the emperor's hard work day and night.
If he were still indifferent to worldly desires, I'm afraid even those naive and ignorant children would not believe it.
Therefore, shortly after each rejection, court officials would find a suitable opportunity to put the issue on the table for discussion again.
After repeating this operation several times, even Shen Muxue, who lived deep in the inner palace, learned the whole story.
"I heard that someone in the court recently suggested that you recruit new people?"
When Shen Muxue asked this question seemingly nonchalantly, the sudden question made the emperor's heart tremble violently. Almost subconsciously, he immediately responded, "Please rest assured, my beloved concubine. I have clearly expressed my opposition to this proposal many times. My mind is focused on state affairs and I have no other thoughts. In addition, the treasury is empty and the finances are tight. I really can't bear to squander the money that should be used to govern the country on the expansion of the harem."
"I hope Your Majesty will consider this matter carefully!"
Although she said so, there was no sign of anxiety in Shen Muxue's beautiful smile.
Facing the person he loved most, the emperor's heartstrings were involuntarily tense at this moment. He did not dare to make even the slightest mistake, for fear that any careless words would make her sad or angry.
