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

...the Imperial Palace...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is indeed the 'Shifting Stars' that is being performed!"

Her Majesty the Empress has finished processing some memorials and is preparing to put them away before relaxing at the hot springs for a while before having dinner.

Then she heard a noisy commotion outside the palace. At first, the Queen couldn't tell whose voice it was.

So the Empress's expression turned slightly stern, and she beckoned to her aunt beside her, asking, "Who is making a disturbance outside?"

"Your Majesty, it seems..." Before the aunt standing beside her could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her.

"Your Majesty, it's the shifting of stars! We've waited for it, we've waited for it!"

The voice was even louder than before, and Her Majesty the Empress knew who it was without needing her aunt's reply.

"Your Majesty, the head of the Imperial Observatory requests an audience," a palace maid guarding the gate announced.

"Let her in." The Empress couldn't help but furrow her brow, looking rather tired.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? Let me give you a massage?" The maidservant next to the Empress saw this action and quickly stepped forward.

"No need," the Empress waved her hand, dismissing her aunt.

Soon, the important person in charge of the Imperial Observatory rushed in excitedly, and knelt down immediately when he arrived at Her Majesty the Empress's side.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up, why are you making such a racket outside?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have been observing the stars for a long time, and this celestial phenomenon must be the movement of the stars!" As the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said this, he took out an octagonal wooden board from his wide sleeve. However, it had some graceful star patterns on it and was quite exquisite.

"It's still broad daylight, my dear minister, do you look at the stars?" The Empress knew the temperament of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau well, so she didn't blame the Imperial Astronomical Bureau for making a fuss outside.

"Your Majesty, although stargazing is clearer at night, it can also be done during the day. As I observe the compass, the stars have already shifted. However, Your Majesty is overjoyed, and this is a joyous occasion for the Kingdom of Fengyang."

"What do you mean?" No matter how excited the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was, the Empress didn't quite understand what they meant.

"It's the Imperial Star! His Majesty's Imperial Star is shining!" The Imperial Observatory official, who was already forty years old, had a few strands of hair that were messy, and it was hard to tell how long it had been since he had properly groomed himself.

With each laugh and moment of excitement, her face creased with wrinkles. But in their matriarchal society, women don't care as much about their appearance as men do. So, relatively speaking, it's not a big problem for a woman to be a little sloppy.

"You mean the Imperial Star!" The Empress, who had been somewhat indifferent, perked up upon hearing this. She abruptly stood up from her seat and went to the side of the Imperial Observatory.

"You previously said that I lacked offspring and could not produce an imperial star. What do you mean by that now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know the specifics, but Your Majesty, I only discovered the anomaly in the compass today, so I went to look into its meaning. When I observed it repeatedly, I found that an imperial star was shining. It is an imperial star, Your Majesty! My Fengyang will prosper!" The Imperial Observatory said, and then continued.

"Once night falls, Your Majesty and I will go to the observatory and reach the bright imperial star."

"Good, good!" The Empress was overjoyed.

"But can you predict how far the imperial star is from me?"

"I have calculated it, and it should not be far, perhaps within the entire imperial city," the Imperial Observatory quickly replied.

“The entire imperial city… that is, within Xuyang City.” The Empress pondered for a moment, then spoke to her aunt beside her.

"Wen'an, go and see if there's anything unusual happening in the capital recently, and also check on my harem to see if any of the monarchs have had an heir."

"Yes, sir!" Aunt Wen'an received the order and quickly went downstairs.

"My dear minister, tell me more about this imperial star."

"Yes, sir." The Imperial Observatory quickly agreed.

Their excitement remained undiminished.

This is the Third Prince's Mansion.

Miao Yi helped Mu Shengyuan slowly make their way to the restaurant.

By the time they arrived, quite a bit of time had passed. Sure enough, the phone was helping the boy over, and the pace was unusually slow.

"My lady, we've arrived." Mu Shengyuan finally reached the dining table, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When helping someone up, the two of them get so close that he feels like he can smell their scent. The closer they get, the more uneasy Mu Shengyuan feels.

But no matter what, it's better to support someone than to hug them.

"Sit down," Miao said, leading the person to a chair. Finally, they had arrived. If they had been any slower, she would have missed the best time to eat.

Moreover, helping someone up is really inefficient and takes a long time, wasting a lot of time.

Miao thought that after they finished eating, when they returned, she felt that she could carry him back, which would save a lot of time.

Miao Yi thought to herself, but would she be able to carry the person back to her side as she pleased next time?

"Bride and mistress, eat meat!" Mu Shengyuan was in a good mood as he looked at the increasingly sumptuous dishes.

It felt like things around him were slowly getting better after Miao Yi came into his life.

Very nice.

Mu Shengyuan smiled foolishly, but he couldn't tell how much of it was genuine and how much was fake.

At this moment, his eyes crinkled into crescents, his smile was radiant, and he ate with great gusto.

Miao accepted the food the boy put on her plate, but after eating just one piece of meat, she saw how the boy was eating... which was a little inappropriate.

This was the first time she had noticed... no, it seemed that she hadn't paid much attention to the boy's eating habits the previous times.

But somehow, she's noticed it now.

However, Miao Yi didn't spend too much time thinking about it; she just went with her gut feeling.

After taking a bite of rice, Miao Yi noticed that the boy had gotten oil all over his mouth from eating a piece of roasted pork.

Miao Yi silently swallowed the rice in her mouth, her gaze falling on the plate of roasted pork that looked very delicious, and she felt a little tempted to eat it.

“The bride and mistress should eat too, this is so delicious.” Mu Shengyuan noticed that Miao Yi’s gaze had fallen on the plate of roasted meat in front of him, and thought that Miao Yi wanted to eat it.

So they gave one to Miao Yi.

Following the boy's action, Miao Yi's gaze fell on her bowl. In the end, after glancing at the grease on the boy's lips, she still ate the roast meat in her bowl.

After she finished eating, the boy ate other dishes, but American food always leaves a smear of oil on the corners of his mouth or face.

The more Miao looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Aren't you going to eat, my bride? We need to eat our fill so we can grow taller. When Yuan Yuan grows taller, she'll be an adult." Mu Shengyuan reminded Miao Yi to eat quickly. Isn't she always saying she wants to grow taller? Then she can eat and sleep well, right?

Why do you keep staring at him?

"My dear bride, please eat! It's all delicious! Yuan Yuan likes it all, and my dear bride likes it too, hehe." Mu Shengyuan said with a smile in his clear eyes. Thinking about how he had just put food on Miao Yi's plate, he quietly went to eat the food in his bowl.

I guess I need him to serve me food again.

Mu Shengyuan thought about it uncertainly, but he had already put a piece of food on Miao Yi's plate. It was a healthy combination of meat and vegetables!

Mu Shengyuan secretly thought to himself, and then waited for Miao Yi to be devoured by him like food... Hey, suddenly I feel a sense of accomplishment!

However, just as Mu Shengyuan was happily thinking about it, he heard Miao Yi's words.

"How about I feed you?"

"what?!"
