No imperial court was completely stable, especially when there was no leader.
The court that had started to calm down started to stir again. There were always some restless officials who would try to do something. They had ambition but no guts but they were not willing to let go of this opportunity.
Shen Miao asked Deng Gonggong, "Is the previous court quarreling very badly now?"
Deng Gonggong said, "Exactly. Currently the previous court wants to elect a person to temporarily supervise the court and wait for His Highness Prince of First Rank to return to Long Ye before making further plans. "
"Presumptuous." Shen Miao's lips twitched, "Really want to steal the country!"
Deng Gonggong kept quiet.
He did not know why but he always felt that this young Prince Rui's Consort had an indescribable temperament. This temperament was very similar to the original Empress Xian De but it was even sharper than Empress Xian De. Usually she looked gentle and easy to talk to and would not delve deeply into anything but once her face turned cold, it would make others feel intimidated.
It was very similar to Prince Rui, Xie Yuan's feeling.
But before Emperor Yong Le left, he had instructed Deng Gonggong to wait for Xie Jing Xing to return and assist him. Deng Gonggong had lived in the Palace of Long Ye since young and could help with many things. Now that Xie Jing Xing had not returned, Deng Gonggong naturally could not be careless with Shen Miao's instructions.
"Deng Gonggong, tidy up. I will go to the previous court. "She said.
Deng Gonggong was surprised for a moment, "Furen …"
"The court is in chaos and at this critical juncture, if bad news were to spread, it would be inevitable that the people of Long Ye would panic and chaos would cause trouble. It is better for me to be the bad guy first and it does not matter what others think. One must first pacify the restless hearts of the people. "
"But." Deng Gonggong looked at Shen Miao's lower abdomen and said, "You are still pregnant."
"It is because of this child that the previous court can be kept in check." Shen Miao smiled gently, "With the blood of the Imperial family, even if they want to do anything, they would have to worry about their reputation. Even though I am a Ming Qi person and they would definitely make an issue out of this but the child in my stomach has the blood of the Imperial family and no matter what they would not dare to be disrespectful to me. "
Eunuch Deng thought for a while and said, "This can indeed calm things down temporarily, but in this way, Princess Yu, your pregnancy can't be hidden anymore."
"I originally hid it because I didn't want Your Highness to be distracted on the battlefield. Now that the war is nearing its end, the dust has settled, and victory is right in front of us, there is no need to hide anything. " She looked at Eunuch Deng, who was still frowning, and said with a smile, "You are afraid that the palace is not peaceful and someone wants to harm me."
Eunuch Deng hurriedly folded his sleeves and said, "I will definitely protect the safety of Princess Consort and the Little Heir!"
Shen Miao nodded her head, "Thanks for the trouble."
After Deng GongGong withdrew, Shen Miao then gave a sigh of relief and sat on the chair, looking at the fallen leaves outside the window.
Empress Xiande had left in too much of a hurry, and many of the problems she left behind became apparent. The palace that was so big and lively in the spring was now deserted. It actually gave off a feeling of desolation. However, she knew that the matter was far from over. Before Xie Jing Xing returned, it was what she had to do to settle down the somewhat chaotic court.
"Ever since you were born into my stomach, there was really not a good time." Shen Miao said softly to her stomach, "But everything will be better."
…
Five days later, the imperial edict of the previous court was made public and the entire court was in an uproar. Those who had doubts were verified by the ministers. Before Emperor Yong Le passed away, he had arranged everything properly. All the officials were speechless.
Some busybodies said that there was no leader among the officials and requested for a few officials to be elected as regent. But it was rejected and Shen Miao, the Princess Rui, handled the court matters.
