Shocked! I've become a female-dominated powerhouse!

"Several high-ranking officials from the court are here to see the Princess Consort," the head housekeeper said.

It's been quite a while since then, and I imagine the people outside have been waiting for about half an hour.

The housekeeper, Granny Mo, muttered to herself.

"Minister? I don't know him, I won't see him." Miao Yi refused outright upon hearing this.

When Mu Shengyuan heard that a minister had arrived, he quickly realized what was going on.

These ministers must be the mothers of those noble sons today.

“But… they have been waiting outside for a long time, including the Prime Minister. These are not people you can easily offend.” The head housekeeper did not expect Miao Yi to refuse so decisively.

"The Prime Minister?" Miao paused, then thought of the women from earlier that day, one of whom seemed to be the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter.

"Yes, the Prime Minister holds a high position, and going against him is not good for our Prince's Mansion." The head housekeeper still revealed the connection.

"What's wrong with her? What can she do to me?" Miao asked back. She didn't know much about the official positions on this ancient planet. The position of prime minister seemed to be a first-rank official. However, as Dr. Miao, she had seen all kinds of high-ranking officials.

"Well... I wouldn't say they're doing anything openly, but I'm worried they might be doing something behind the scenes?"

Given her status as the Crown Princess of Prince Miaoyan, and her position as a princess consort, naturally no one would dare to do anything openly. If she were to do something behind the scenes, no one would know.

"For example," Miao Yi said, a hint of curiosity rising in her mind about some of the underhanded methods used on this ancient planet.

"..." Upon hearing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but glance at Miao Yi, who seemed indifferent, as if she didn't care at all.

The old woman paused. Although Miao Yi was the princess of the Yan Prince's mansion, she was used to being fearless.

However, she felt it was still better to let the princess meet with those ministers. She hoped that the princess would speak more forcefully later and let Miao Yi go out to meet those ministers. Their royal family couldn't afford to offend several ministers.

Furthermore, there are the conditions Her Majesty the Empress has set for her future succession to the throne... On this point, one cannot afford to offend anyone too obviously.

The old woman thought for a moment and then said:

"I suppose the Prime Minister must have something important to discuss with the Princess. I also noticed that the other officials looked nervous and distracted, which means something important must be going on. I'm just afraid that if the Princess doesn't come out, they will hold a grudge against her and try to sabotage her behind her back, such as hiring assassins, poisoning her, or doing something despicable to ruin her reputation. All of these things would be detrimental to the Princess."

After the head housekeeper finished speaking, she looked at Miao Yi with some anticipation, hoping to instill a sense of fear in Miao Yi so that she would go out and meet her.

But the old woman was disappointed.

"That's it?" Miao Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly felt a little bored.

"Then it's gone." After hearing this, Miao Yi stopped thinking about it. It turned out that their methods behind the scenes were nothing more than this.

Miao Yi sighed and thought to herself, then turned around, already preparing to get up and head in another direction.

"??"

"!" What do you mean, "That's all?" Even though you were once a princess, don't be so arrogant!

The old woman was a little embarrassed.

"This... what should we do?" The old woman was stunned when she heard Miao Yi's continued refusal. She had placed her last hope on their foolish prince.

What surprised her even more was that their prince was actually smiling, as if he wasn't surprised at all by what Miao Yi said.

It happened very suddenly.

Your Highness, are you no longer pretending to be a fool?

Mu Shengyuan seemed to sense the housekeeper's signal, and the smile on his face faded a bit.

"Let's go, let's have dinner." Miao Yi had already taken a few steps, but after a few steps, she realized that something seemed to be missing, so she stopped and saw the boy who was still sitting there.

Miao felt that he was missing.

Miao Yi returned again.

"Alright, my bride and mistress." Mu Shengyuan smiled, his clear black and white eyes wide open. He was very pleased with Miao Yi's decision to come back to him.

Mu Shengyuan was about to get up when he heard Xiao Ai's voice.

“Dr. Miao, your husband just made a cut, and he definitely can’t walk now.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Shengyuan paused, unsure whether to get up or remain seated.

Actually, he didn't feel much pain in his feet, which was what he found somewhat strange.

Even though there was a small cut on his ankle, he didn't feel any pain. If it weren't for the bandage, he would have doubted that he had ever been cut at all.

"Can you get up?" Miao Yi had already walked back to the boy's side and was extending a hand to him.

Looking at those fair, untouched hands, Mu Shengyuan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't quite describe his feelings, but he felt his palms starting to sweat.

"Yes, it seems not, I can't." Mu Shengyuan felt he should be able to get up, but when he saw Miao Yan's outstretched hand, the words that were about to come out of his mouth changed for some reason.

"Hmm, should I carry you? Or support you?" Miao Yi had absolutely no experience in taking care of injured patients. She looked at the person still sitting in the chair, wondering how to get them out of the chair.

"Hug...hug?" When Mu Shengyuan heard this word, his heart trembled slightly, as if he had heard something extremely shocking.

"Want a hug? Sure." Miao Yi was still wondering whether to hug or support the person, but after hearing the boy's words, she stopped agonizing over which one to choose.

As Miao Yi spoke, she bent down as if to lift the person up in her arms.

"Wait, don't hug me, just support me, that's enough." Mu Shengyuan thought of something and hurriedly said, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Miao Yi would pick him up.

Mu Shengyuan only knew that his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to shatter his eardrums.

This was the first time he had ever felt this emotion. Before this, he could always play along and have a casual conversation with Miao Yi.

But he didn't know when it started, but he found himself... unable to look directly at Miao Yi.

Just a little bit, just a tiny bit.

Only a tiny bit.

Mu Shengyuan told himself this in his heart, and as Miao Yi approached, his heart pounded like a deer, unable to control itself.

"Help? Not carry? Carrying would be better, wouldn't it?" Miao Yi paused for a moment, somewhat doubtful, when she heard the boy's flustered words.
