Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

Grand Secretary Li frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty... the Murong family should not have such audacity."

I urge Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter!

Shangguan Shuofeng's eagerness was written all over his face.

This surprised everyone, who all looked at the Queen with scrutinizing eyes.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Shangguan Shuofeng felt guilty for a moment.

He coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, I will naturally order someone to investigate thoroughly."

We will never let anyone who might be an assassin get away!

Alright... If you gentlemen have nothing else to attend to, I must continue to attend to matters concerning the harem.

He quickly got up, left the main hall, and the officials could only sigh and leave.

Shangguan Shuofeng and Granny Jin walked on the pebble path in the Imperial Garden.

Shangguan Shuofeng stared blankly at the clouds in the sky with a gloomy expression.

She murmured, “Heh, the Crown Princess…they’re certainly in a hurry!”

If my princess were alive, she would surely be the Crown Princess of Fenglin Kingdom.

The future empress… what a pity… what a pity… it was all that vile woman's fault! She took her life!

His originally gentle expression gradually turned sinister and terrifying.

The old woman, Jin, who was supporting him, couldn't help but frown.

He said softly, "Your Majesty...please try to think more positively..."

Shangguan Shuofeng scoffed lightly, "Sigh... Think it through... How could I possibly think it through... I only have the title of the empress of the harem."

Behind his back, how many courtiers and nobles mocked him... With His Majesty assassinated, how many more days can his good life last?

When His Majesty passes away, I will surely be devoured by those people until not even bones are left.

Seeing her mistress's grim expression, Granny Jin immediately spoke up.

"Your Majesty...why don't we...why don't we join forces with the Princess..."

Shangguan Shuofeng suddenly turned around, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Granny Jin.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "How so?"

Granny Jin said, "Now that His Majesty is critically ill, all the officials in the court have spoken out to establish a Crown Princess."

If the Queen also had a princess at this time… then…

After speaking, he glanced suggestively at the walls of the harem.

Shangguan Shuofeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of something, a smile involuntarily curving his lips.

She said gently, "Yes... As the Empress, all the princes and princesses in the harem must address me as Father!"

If I adopt her into my own family, wouldn't she become my legitimate daughter?

Hehe! My legitimate daughter's inheritance of the throne is perfectly justified!

Once he understood, Shangguan Shuofeng was thrilled, and his face beamed with undisguised joy.

Granny Jin smiled and agreed, "Yes...then when the Empress Dowager arrives, you will be the Imperial Concubine!"

He remains the most distinguished man in Fenglin!

"Haha! Yes! I was born noble!" Shangguan Shuofeng sneered.

Then he frowned, "But who should we choose?"

Currently, the only princesses in the palace are Prince Qi, Prince Jin, the fourth princess, and the sixth princess.

Since the King of Qi is disabled, he is certainly unable to inherit the throne!

The Prince of Jin is too old and cannot be controlled!

That leaves only the Fourth Princess and the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess is only twelve years old, too young, and also timid and cowardly, not fit for important tasks.

The only suitable candidate left is the Fourth Princess!

Granny Jin's eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "This servant thinks that the Fourth Princess Feng Yuntang is the most suitable!"

Shangguan Shuofeng raised an eyebrow and hesitated before saying, "But the Fourth Princess's biological father, Xue Guijun, is still alive."

I'm afraid they won't agree to let the Fourth Princess be adopted by me!

The Xue family were also founding heroes and had many connections in the court, so they still carried some weight.

Even if Xue Guijun disagrees, he cannot force her to have it.

Granny Jin sighed regretfully, "Yes... Consort Xue is still alive... A princess with a biological father cannot be adopted."

"Your Majesty, how about we consider joining forces with the Prince of Jin?"

But Shangguan Shuofeng raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Prince Jin is a man of deep thoughts. If we join forces, it would be like asking a tiger for its skin."

She has her own plans, but I'm afraid she won't easily trust me..."

Granny Jin frowned and looked at the Empress hesitantly, "Then...Empress..."

How can we choose? The sixth princess is too young and cannot convince the public!

At this moment, Shangguan Shuofeng said ominously, "Alas... if Consort Xue weren't here..."

She gave Granny Jin a strange look, then lifted her foot and walked towards Chaoyang Palace!

Granny Jin's eyes darted around, and she guessed what Shangguan Shuofeng meant.

He paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward. "Yes... one's fortune or misfortune can change in an instant. If one is not fortunate enough..."

It's only natural that the princess is still young, and if the queen cherishes her, she could adopt her and raise her herself.

That's only natural!

These words made Shangguan Shuofeng beam with joy.

"Hehe, Granny Jin, you are still the one I like the most. Then I will leave this matter to you!"

Remember to be quick…

The adoption must be completed before His Majesty passes away so that he can rightfully sit on the highest throne!

Granny Jin immediately accepted the order, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this old servant will certainly not mess it up!"

The setting sun, like blood, slanted across the mottled palace walls.

Countless distorted silhouettes seemed to float in the shadows of the Imperial Garden.

The wind swept through the empty corridor, rustling the withered leaves and creating an eerie and oppressive atmosphere in the silence.

After the Queen and Granny Jin left, two figures emerged from behind the lush greenery.

A person dressed in palace attire pushed a wheelchair, above which sat a cold and noble figure.

The palace maid asked with worried eyes, "Your Highness...do you wish for me to go and speak with the Fourth Princess and Consort Xue?"

Tell them to be careful and wary of the Queen?

She's just a lowly palace maid; she's learned such a huge secret. Will she be executed?

Feng Lilu frowned slightly as she looked at the leaves swaying in the distance.

He said calmly, "This is not something we can get involved in; we shouldn't invite trouble!"

"Remember, we haven't been to the Imperial Garden today."

She was already the most insignificant person, why did she invite trouble upon herself!

The palace servant nodded vigorously, "This servant understands!"

Feng Lilu nodded and said calmly, "Alright, let's go back!"

"Yes!" The palace servants looked around frantically, afraid that others might see them.

Inside Chengqian Palace, light apricot-colored gauze curtains hung down, and gilded palace lanterns with floral and bird patterns emitted a hazy glow.

A lotus pond scene is painted in meticulous detail on a sandalwood screen, and a half-open magnolia is placed in a white porcelain vase on the table.

The entire palace is decorated in an elegant and simple style, without any ostentatious luxury.

Every detail exudes a restrained and gentle charm, rendering a sense of tranquility just right.

Inside the hall stood a graceful young woman of about fourteen or fifteen, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed and her almond-shaped eyes serene.

Her skin was as white as snow, and she wore a moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a light blue outer garment.

She wore only a white magnolia hairpin in her hair, with the dangling pearl tassels swaying gently with her movements.

He moved with a straight back and a calm demeanor, though a hint of worry lingered between his brows.

Her gaze softened as she looked at the simple and gentle-looking middle-aged man in the main seat.

"Father... I truly cannot sit idly by and wait for my death..."

Her tone carried a hint of firmness; she was no longer an ignorant child.

They were already able to keenly sense the tense and dangerous atmosphere within the palace!
