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

Although everyone was surprised by the news, everyone understood the identity of the eunuch and the meaning behind it, so not many people questioned the authenticity of the news.

In fact, Pei Yi didn't particularly want to be the emperor, but before leaving, Shen Muxue said something to him.

"The world has been ruined by that old dog. I don't know if things will get better with a new emperor, but I believe you can govern it well."

Shen Muxue held Pei Yi's hand and said softly, "You have seen the suffering of the common people and understand how difficult life is for ordinary people. Compared to any other so-called royal children, I believe you are more suitable to sit on this supreme throne. This is not only my expectation, but also the beautiful vision of the future for honest ministers like Song Jingchen."

These words were deeply engraved in Pei Yi's heart and became the source of strength that supported him to move forward.

Pei Yi slowly closed his eyes, these words echoing over and over in his mind.

His heartbeat was speeding up, as if every beat was conveying an unprecedented weight to him.

Finally, he took a deep breath, walked forward step by step firmly, and stretched out his hand to take the jade seal that symbolized supreme power from the eunuch.

In the hall, everyone stood up excitedly and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, we congratulate you!"

Cheers echoed throughout the palace, as if even the walls were shaking.

The air inside Ci'an Palace seemed a little depressing.

"Did you hear that? The word 'Your Majesty' was shouted so loudly!"

The Queen of the Eastern Palace's tone was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal. She held Shen Muxue's hand tightly, her eyes full of brilliance and pride.

Shen Muxue lowered her eyes slightly and smiled faintly. Although her voice was soft, every word was clear and firm: "Yes, he has finally taken the position that should belong to him."

There seemed to be less joy in her tone, and more of a complex emotion.

The Queen of the Eastern Palace keenly noticed the loneliness that flashed across Shen Muxue's eyes and asked directly, "Aren't you happy for him?"

Concern and curiosity mixed in her eyes, making the words sound more like concern than a question.

Instead of answering immediately, Shen Muxue just forced a cheerful face. "I'm not unhappy," she said. The reluctance in her tone could not hide the bitterness welling up in her heart. "I just suddenly thought that he is now the emperor, and there will be countless beauties in the palace in the future..." The smile was still on her face, but it had become stiff. Perhaps only she knew how much helplessness and sadness was hidden behind it.

Seeing him trying to hide all his emotions deep in his heart, the Empress Dowager Donggong also felt a wave of pity in her heart, "As the emperor, he must consider the interests of the country. Personal feelings have to be put aside..."

She tried to comfort the young girl in the most peaceful and gentle way, hoping to bring her some comfort.

Shen Muxue hurriedly interrupted the Queen Mother's words and said impatiently, "Your Majesty, you don't have to come and comfort me. I know all these things. You must recover as soon as possible so that we can have a companion in the palace."

She spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid that once she started, she wouldn't be able to stop.

Perhaps it was to distract himself from the sadness of his thoughts, or perhaps it was simply to escape the reality that he had to face.

"Who do you want as a companion? Where do you put me?"

A sudden yet very familiar voice interrupted the conversation between Shen Muxue and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace.

There was no need to look back, one could tell from his unique majesty that it was Pei Yi who had just ascended the throne as emperor.

Shen Muxue's heart trembled suddenly. She slowly turned around and looked over. Sure enough, she saw the tall and cold figure looking straight at her.

It seems that just saying one wrong word could bring about the wrath of thunder.

This invisible pressure made her feel heavier than ever before.

Shen Muxue swallowed, trying to hide her inner nervousness. "I...I thought the Queen Mother's health was getting better and better, so I sincerely hope that she can make a full recovery soon."

"That way I'll have someone to chat with in the future, and won't be too lonely in this huge palace."

She added cautiously.

Pei Yi's gaze was as sharp as a searchlight. After scanning the space in front of him, he strode forward and tightly grasped Shen Muxue's cold fingers, not paying attention to the astonished looks of other people in the hall.

"I'm sure you heard what was said in the Yangxin Palace just now. Three months from now, the coronation ceremony will be held, which will also be our wedding ceremony. As the queen, you must not think of running away from the marriage."

He explained with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

He then addressed the old empress dowager, who sat in front of him with a kind smile on her face, and said solemnly, "Please allow me to express my respects to you on behalf of the entire imperial palace. You will continue to serve as the sole empress dowager in the palace. Please take good care of and guide the future queen."

"If she were to manage such a large palace all by herself, she would inevitably feel overwhelmed."

After saying this, he deliberately gave Shen Muxue an encouraging look.

After hearing her husband's words, Shen Muxue, who was still in a daze, finally reacted. She looked up with some surprise and asked the person in front of her: "You...what do you mean?"

Pei Yi raised an eyebrow and replied, "That's exactly what I meant. Of course, you don't have to do everything yourself. After the child is born, you just need to spend time carefully nurturing the next generation. Then it will naturally be much easier."

His unconcealed sincerity was deeply felt by the onlookers around him - especially the Grand Noble Consort of the Eastern Palace who was always paying attention to how the two got along.

She saw that this man, who seemed to be born without affection, actually showed tenderness and care rarely seen between ordinary couples.

How can one not be moved by such deep, pure and innocent feelings?

Therefore, after a brief silence, the Grand Noble Consort of the Eastern Palace smiled gently and said to Meng Yunji in an unusually gentle voice, "You are such a lucky child. The happiness you have received is much greater than that of us older generations!"

Before the flattered woman could express her gratitude or say anything more, her partner took her hand and quickly left the scene.

In the following months, due to the need to deal with various state affairs, Emperor Pei Yi had almost no chance to stop and rest.

Even with such a busy life, he still takes time out every day to sit down and enjoy lunch with his beloved. And no matter what time of the day, he insists on sleeping with his wife in his arms every night to feel at ease.

No matter how late he finished work, Pei Yi would try to be as quiet as possible so as not to disturb her rest, but his figure was always present in their bedroom.

Whether it was the quietness under the moonlight or the bright lights late at night, he always walked in carefully, for fear that his footsteps would wake up his sleeping wife.

At first, Shen Muxue thought this behavior was a bit troublesome and suggested that he just stay in the study and rest. After all, running around for a long time would really make the body unable to bear it.

But every time she turned around and saw Pei Yi's tired eyes, she would eventually soften her heart.

She could feel her husband's silent care and love for her, and that emotion forced her to let go of her own insistence.

Not only that, Shen Muxue even began to take the initiative to go to the imperial kitchen to make nourishing soup and then personally give it to him.

Although the two of them sometimes have few opportunities to meet due to busy official duties, she always wants to express her understanding and support for this effort and dedication in this way.

When the delicious soup arrived but the person who brought it was nowhere to be found, the servant Hong Xue was bewildered. "Hey, why didn't the Queen come with us today?"

In his opinion, such situations almost never occur on weekdays.

In response to this, the attendant Zhen Shuang, who had been accompanying her, shrugged helplessly and replied, "Because the Empress Dowager in Ci'an Palace is becoming increasingly weak, she needs the Empress to supervise her medication. They have been almost inseparable from her for some time."

After learning the truth, Pei Yi shook his head gently, "Forget it, let her stay over there and take care of her."

He knew that there were many responsibilities in this country that were more important than personal happiness waiting for him and his partner to share.

On the morning of the coronation ceremony, even though the Queen Mother's own health was already quite bad, she was still strong enough to watch Shen Muxue dress appropriately, and personally put on the phoenix hairpin representing high status and power for the latter as the iconic ornament for her to officially become the Mother of the Nation.

After doing all this, the Queen Mother gave a few repeated instructions and then asked the servants around her to escort the dressed-up Shen Muxue to Pei Yi, who had become the emperor, to wait for the enthronement ceremony to officially begin.

As Shen Muxue, wearing a complicated and luxurious dress weighing dozens of kilograms, slowly walked towards the high platform where Pei Yi was, she felt that every step she took was extremely difficult.

Because she got up very early today to prepare all the relevant matters, and now with the extra weight of the clothes she was wearing, she almost fell in front of everyone and looked very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Pei Yi reacted quickly and stepped forward to stabilize her body posture that was about to lose control. Since the two of them were on a higher platform at the moment, the many spectators below did not notice this momentary episode, so Shen Muxue was able to breathe a sigh of relief and continued to follow her husband until they stood on the position symbolizing the supreme imperial power.

Not far in front of the golden dragon throne.

After everyone was seated, hundreds of neatly dressed ministers standing in neat rows at the foot of the hall immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison to the emperor and empress sitting on the throne above: "Your Majesty, may you be well! May the Empress be well!"

The sound echoed throughout the magnificent hall for a long time without dissipating.

After responding and asking them all to stand up, Pei Yi suddenly turned around and smiled at Shen Muxue. Then, without any warning, he slowly handed the extremely precious jade seal representing supreme power to his beloved wife.

"From now on, you are the true Queen of the Qing Dynasty," he said to her with his eyes full of infinite tenderness and endless longing for future life.

"I hope you can be nicer to me."

When Shen Muxue realized the importance of the object she was holding at the moment, she couldn't help but feel excited.

However, she soon understood the deeper meaning behind the other party's action: it was a manifestation of trust and proof of the extreme depth of their mutual feelings.

All the worries and doubts that I had previously had completely disappeared.

She smiled faintly, a smile that was like a spring breeze, bringing warmth and comfort to one's face. It was extremely beautiful and moving. "I will spend my life with Your Majesty, no matter whether it is good times or bad."

Such simple and affectionate words are full of beautiful visions for the future and firm trust in love.

Just like that, in this quiet and solemn moment, she made this solemn and hopeful promise to him and to her own heart.

I want to walk through every day and night of the future with Pei Yi, no matter it is stormy or sunny, no matter it is a spring day with blooming flowers or a snowy winter day.

Thinking of this, her heart was filled with anticipation and happiness.
