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

The Empress coughed lightly, as if reminding the newlyweds below of something.

Holding the other's hand, Miao Yi naturally didn't feel the pain in her arm. She quickly turned her gaze back to the Empress and answered her previous question.

"I don't want to, but I also don't want to kneel." Miao Yi's words were very straightforward.

The Empress had already calmed down; Miao's words had failed to anger her.

"If you don't want to kneel, you need to have the strength."

"Of course." Miao nodded, she was certain of this statement.

The Empress seemed surprised that Mu Yi would do such a thing. After a moment of stunned silence, she burst into laughter.

It was somewhat puzzling, yet the servants kneeling on the ground trembled with fear.

"You may all rise. Please offer a seat to the Third Princess Consort."

"promise."

"Thank you, Mother Empress." Seeing this, Mu Shengyuan assumed that Miao Yi had been forgiven.

Fortunately, they escaped unscathed.

During this time, not much was said. The Empress only asked Mu Shengyuan how he was doing recently, and didn't ask Miao Yi much else.

After all, Miao Yi has amnesia. Even if she asks some questions, the other party might not understand them very well, or else they might interpret them as something else entirely.

They're so blunt it's almost infuriating.

Fortunately, it was only half an hour; the rest of the time had already been given to the Queen.

Mu Shengyuan was not the Empress's son, so he didn't say much. He simply said a few words and then let the two of them go.

They didn't even leave lunch for us.

However, quite a few people already know that Mu Yi paid homage to the Empress today.

The most important people to pay attention to are the Empress and the other two princes who have come of age... or more accurately, the princes' wives.

After all, this concerns the Crown Princess; how could they not care?

Among them, the most representative is the eldest prince, Murian Rong.

"That's what Father said, my lady. Do you think Mother Empress might have something going on with my third brother's wife?" Mu Lianrong asked his wife, who was also his eldest princess consort, with some concern.

"Ah Rong, don't worry. Not to mention that your third brother is a hopeless idiot, even that纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) Miao Yi won't amount to anything. The Empress is just worried about your third brother being an idiot. And Ah Rong, don't forget..."

"I heard that not long ago, these two offended some ministers in the court. The Empress Dowager has been more lenient towards them, which suggests that the ministers are also dissatisfied with them," said Wang Shengxiao, the wife of the eldest prince.

“What my wife says makes sense, but I still feel uneasy.” Mu Lianrong gripped the handkerchief in his hand tightly with some force.

It seems that he was jealous of his mother's favoritism towards his third brother.

"If you're still worried, Rong, isn't there still the Second Prince's help?" Wang Shengxiao smiled confidently.

"However, it would be inappropriate for the second prince to go and investigate."

Mu Lianrong's eyes lit up, as if he had also thought of something.

His second brother is indeed someone he can use.

"Second Prince and that Miao Yi have some connection. If Second Prince were to go and test him, it would definitely be useful."

"My wife is so clever!"

However… while the second prince is a bit easy to fool, his wife is not so easily fooled.”

"Don't worry, we'll find a way."

"Does the wife have a solution?"

"Yeah, Ah Rong, we'll just wait and see."

"Okay, I believe in my wife." After saying that, Mu Lianrong leaned on the other's shoulder in a docile manner.

Wang Shengxiao hugged the person affectionately, as if he loved them very much.
