After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

When Shen Yihuan was in her fifth month of pregnancy, her belly was already slightly bulging. During this time, a lot of things happened inside and outside the palace. Some were good, some were bad.

The good thing is that the flood in the south was well controlled, the people were very happy, and they praised the emperor for his wisdom.

There are still some areas that are seriously plagued by insects. This is a long-term struggle, but after many pest control methods were promulgated, local governments actively implemented them and the pests have been greatly improved. The people who depend on food for their daily life have seen hope and are full of beautiful imaginations for the future.

There are also some drought-stricken areas and places with serious soil erosion, which have not received attention from the central government before. Now that the young emperor has ascended the throne, he attaches great importance to it. He not only summoned experts in this field, but also asked the experts to conduct on-site surveys and formulate solutions based on local conditions.

These are all from the local area, and there are also some in the court. Several of Zhao Xun’s own people have begun to emerge.

These guys were all tough guys. They were not afraid of power, which gave several high-ranking ministers a headache. Whenever they were squeezed out of the court, Zhao Xun would just watch from the other side and watch them fight. For a while, the court was more lively than ever before.

The Queen Mother was unable to solve these problems. She only held the title of Regent in vain. She basically did not participate in the government affairs of the court. She would only speak a few words when she was needed. The person she trusted the most was Shen Xiangguo. Basically, Shen Xiangguo would speak through the Queen Mother when he was not convenient to say it himself.

What surprised Zhao Xun was that after Prime Minister Shen came back this time, he was completely different. It seemed that he really was wholeheartedly doing good for him and assisting him sincerely.

Although he had manipulated his mother, which made him feel unhappy, his mother listened to him the most and trusted him the most, so Zhao Xun really had no choice.

Fortunately, as far as we can see now, Prime Minister Shen poses no threat, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. No, no, no, I don't see the disadvantages. It's very altruistic.

Although Shen Yihuan was in the harem, he knew all these things about the previous dynasty.

The reason is simple. In addition to the three forces in the court, there is actually a fourth force, and this force was naturally secretly cultivated by Shen Yihuan.

Some of them were on the surface, Zhao Xun knew, and some of them were hidden, Zhao Xun didn't know. She was used to keeping a hand.

Because the Queen Mother always spoke up for Prime Minister Shen, gradually bad rumors began to spread in the court, and people said all kinds of things behind his back, and the rumors were as ugly as they could be.

Some said that the Queen Mother was shameless and promiscuous in the harem. Others said that Prime Minister Shen was so bold that he dared to hang out with the Queen Mother, and he really didn't care about his life.

Some people even said that he wanted to be the emperor. They also slandered Zhao Xun, saying that he had a fake father, and so on.

To make matters worse, the eldest princess also joined in to make trouble, cursing the empress dowager for being shameless and crying about her miserable life, marrying Prime Minister Shen and being despised for only giving birth to two daughters instead of a son. It was ok that she used to live a life of debauchery and taking concubines at home, but now she had brought them to the palace, which was really outrageous and rubbed her face on the ground.

Anyway, I was just like crazy. I felt like I had no face left and didn't want to give face to others.

After this commotion, the affair between the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Shen was finally confirmed.

At this time, everyone was looking at Zhao Xun's reaction to see what his plans were.

When Shen Yihuan heard these things, he also felt a headache. Why are they both so troublesome?

Just when she hadn't figured out how to resolve this midlife crisis, the eldest princess, like a flea, jumped in front of her after jumping in the previous dynasty.

As soon as he saw her, he started to complain.

"Huan'er, you have to help your mother."

At the beginning, the tone was unreasonable.

Shen Yihuan looked at her calmly. She didn't have the slightest affection for this mother. Sometimes she was even worse than a stranger.

She is a person who has no self-awareness at all. She always feels that she owes her something because she gave birth to her and raised her.

Whatever she did or said, she acted as if it was natural. If it wasn't for the fact that she was her mother, she really wanted to chase him away and turn a blind eye.

"Mother, although I am the queen, I am still just a junior." Shen Yihuan said calmly, "How can a daughter interfere in the affairs between our parents?"

She glanced at the eldest princess and said with a half-smile, "Besides, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You are the eldest princess, so you should be broad-minded. If your reputation of being jealous spreads, it will not be good for you."

The eldest princess's face darkened and she cursed, "You little bastard, you have grown wings now, and you even dare to tease your mother."

Shen Yihuan also put away her smile and said coldly: "Mother, I dare not tease you, I am just explaining the truth to you."

The two of them were in a state of tension at the moment. The eldest princess became furious when she saw that Shen Yihuan refused to compromise.

She also began to speak bluntly, saying sourly: "It's easy for you to say that. Now there are only you and two other unfavored concubines in the harem. The emperor is monopolized by you alone. You are just talking without any pain in your waist."

Shen Yihuan raised her eyebrows. This was an obvious thing and she was not afraid of being told off.

The princess was so angry when she saw her reaction. It seemed that she was wasting her breath after talking for so long.

She started to complain again: "You are such a waste that I can't even help with such a small matter. If it were Luo'er, she would definitely not stand idly by."

She had heard this kind of words countless times before. Since she married into the palace, she hadn't heard this kind of words for a long time, so long that she almost forgot about it.

But today, it appeared again, and it was spoken by my own mother.

But this time, she did not feel heartbroken, but said coldly: "Mother, since we are talking about my sister, my sister is so powerful, why don't you go find her, but come to me instead." Her lips curved, revealing a sarcastic arc.

It seems that she is destined to be incompatible with her mother in this life. She doesn't force it, but can she keep this annoying person away from her?

It's obvious that I don't like her. When I was at home, I didn't even want to see her and was too lazy to say a word to her.

Now, he actually came to her on his own initiative. Although he came to ask her to do something, his attitude was so bad and disgusting.

The princess was choked by her attitude, and her face turned a little ugly. She moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

She didn't say it out loud, but Shen Yihuan was unwilling to let it go and continued to say hurtful words.

"You also know that she can't control it." Shen Yihuan laughed twice, staring at his mother whose face couldn't be uglier, and continued to provoke, "Don't say that she is in Hangzhou now. Even if she is by your side, she can't control it."

"Your precious eldest daughter is a useless woman. It's a waste of your years of treating her like a treasure. In the end, she is of no use at all."
