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

She could not see her mother, nor did she know anything about her mother's condition.

Moreover, the area outside the Hall of Diligent Governance is guarded by people sent by the Empress Dowager. Yesterday, I happened to overhear several ministers discussing the matter of establishing a Crown Princess.

I was incredibly excited; who wouldn't want to reach the pinnacle of power?

Therefore, I wanted to come and discuss this with my father.

"If we fight for it, then your son... and Father Consort will become the masters of this Phoenix Kingdom..."

The man in the head seat had his black hair loosely tied up, with a jade hairpin inserted at an angle.

With a calm expression, he lightly picked up the teacup with his fingertips, looking completely composed.

His words were gentle as a spring breeze, and he was surrounded by a soothing, light sandalwood scent.

But upon hearing his daughter's words, his originally gentle expression turned slightly angry.

He slammed the teacup down on the table and said in a deep voice, "Tang'er, shut up. Your mother is still alive... how can you curse your mother?"

Feng Yuntang frowned. Her father had always stayed obediently in his Chengqian Palace.

He rarely went out and had no contact with other nobles or servants, so he knew nothing about what was happening outside.

“Father, I am not lying… but the ministers in the court have already begun to discuss the matter of establishing a crown princess.”

Clearly, the Queen Mother is on her deathbed... We must make plans!

Xue Guijun frowned, her expression filled with doubt, and said firmly.

“Even if your mother is in trouble, the best thing we should do is stay in the palace.”

Instead of doing something outrageous!

Upon hearing Xue Guijun's words, Feng Yuntang immediately felt that her father had made things too easy for her.

They believed that hiding was the safest option in case of a major incident, and obviously, staying in the palace was the most reliable way to save their lives.

However, the change of the throne is both a danger and an opportunity, as the father and mother's family have some resources.

Even if they don't compete or fight, others can't pretend they don't see them.

Why not take advantage of the chaos to fight for something, rather than being controlled by others and handing over your life and fortune to them?

The eldest princess was ineligible to inherit the throne, and the second princess was demoted to a commoner, forever losing her chance.

That coward Xiao Liu... Hmph... He's nothing to be afraid of.

The only strong competitor for the throne was the third princess.

She wasn't in Kyoto yet; if she could use this time, she could win over the officials in the court.

Wouldn't the throne then be hers?

"Ha... Father, what is considered treason? Throughout history, it has always been the victor who is king and the loser who is villain."

Moreover, I am not rebelling, but simply fulfilling my filial duty to my mother.

Now, among my sisters, I am no less capable in any way, so why can't I ascend to that supreme position?

The Empress Dowager often praised her son for resembling her.

It is clear that in the Empress's heart, I am different from my other sisters.

Feng Yuntang became more and more confident as she spoke, recalling the praise her mother had given her.

Perhaps... perhaps the Empress Dowager has long held high expectations for her. She just hasn't had the chance to say them yet!

Xue Guijun was shocked and said in a trembling voice.

"You know... that seat isn't so easy to sit in!"

You are not the eldest son or the legitimate heir, so how dare you speak so arrogantly? Your several elder sisters are not as simple as you think.

We'll just stay quietly in our own palace, no matter which of your older sisters ascends the throne.

They certainly won't do anything to you. You'll definitely become a prince someday.

There will be a fiefdom then, and I can go there with my father and wife.

Isn't it best to live a peaceful life within one's own fiefdom?

Consort Xue lived in the palace for so long, always adhering to the principle of being cautious and prudent.

She also saw through the intrigue and treachery within the palace, and was able to steadily protect her daughter as she grew up.

This is already the best-case scenario; he still won't be able to live a peaceful life with his daughter in the future.

Feng Yuntang lowered her head slightly and slowly exhaled.

"Don't worry... Father, you're being too optimistic!"

As a princess, how could she possibly have any peace and security? She was bound to struggle within the imperial power.

Even if we don't participate, we won't end up well, so why not take a gamble!

His fists were clenched tightly, and a determined look shone in his eyes.

Xue Gui's eyes trembled at the sight, unsure how to speak to his daughter in this state.

He could only angrily refuse, saying, "If I say no, then no."

If you still acknowledge me as your father, then you should obediently listen to your father!

Otherwise, you should no longer acknowledge this father as your wife!

If you can't win an argument, you can only threaten yourself!

Xue Gui looked very resolute, and Feng Yuntang shook her head helplessly at the sight.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her father, she could only say firmly, "Father, I'm not discussing this with you."

"Now that I am of age, I can make my own decisions."

Xue Guijun's eyes widened, her fingers trembling as she asked, "Tang'er...you...are you going to disobey your father?"

My daughter is usually so well-behaved and sensible, what's wrong with her today...?

Feng Yuntang said bitterly, "Father... I am not unfilial, but I do not want to live such a mundane life as you."

"I have already spoken to my aunts about this matter, and they are very supportive of me."

In the next few days, other officials will recommend their daughters to the Empress as Crown Princess.

With all the officials in agreement, the Empress would surely have no choice but to comply.

Only if I, your son, accept the mandate in this crisis and be named Crown Princess will it be of no use, even if my third sister returns.

They can only bow down and submit to their subject.

As she spoke, her originally well-behaved face suddenly took on a determined expression.

Xue Guijun sighed and slumped back in her chair, remaining silent for a long time.

Feng Yuntang looked at her with some heartache, then said gently.

"Father, please rest assured, I have already spoken with my aunts and the others!"

If... if the matter comes to light, I will bear all the blame.

Father was completely unaware; with Grandmother here, nothing will happen!

Xue Guijun's voice trembled, her heart filled with worry, "Tang...Tang'er...does it have to be this way?"

Feng Yuntang did not answer him, but turned around and gave an order to the palace servants guarding the door.

"If anything goes wrong while taking good care of the prince, you will all be buried with him!"

"It's the Fourth Prince!"

After saying that, she strode away, hardly behaving like a young girl!

Xue Gui watched Feng Yuntang's departing figure, then slowly closed his eyes and gently shook his head.

"Sigh... the child has finally grown up..."

The palace servants hurriedly poured Xue Guiyou another cup of water.

Just as I was about to drink, someone came to report from outside the door.

"Your Highness... Granny Jin is requesting an audience at the door!!"

Xue Guijun was slightly taken aback, then frowned. "Granny Jin? Please come in quickly!"

She then straightened her clothes and stared intently at the doorway.

With a beaming smile, Granny Jin bowed deeply and said, "This servant greets Consort Xue! May Consort Xue enjoy boundless blessings!"

Xue Gui said gently, "Granny Jin, please rise..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two noticed that Granny Jin was slow to explain her purpose.

So he could only ask directly, "Granny Jin, what are Your Majesty's orders for us?"

Granny Jin replied with a smile, "Hehe, that's right...that's right."

The Empress has been staying by His Majesty's side day and night, and she is already feeling somewhat overwhelmed!

I was thinking of having several noble ladies take turns attending to my illness, so I came to inform you of this!

"Your Highness, please prepare a few things and then accompany me to the Hall of Diligent Governance to attend to His Majesty's illness."
