Even Sizhu had to admit that the Queen Mother had a face that no one could ever tire of. Even though she was so plain, no one in the harem could match her beauty.
"Just say it if you have something to say." Mu Ci saw that Sizhu was about to speak but hesitated.
"The whole harem has spread that the empress did not abide by the rules of women. The late emperor just passed away, so he couldn't wait to flatter his brother-in-law. I know that the empress is not such a person. There is obviously some misunderstanding. I am not worthy of taking my place for the empress." Sizhu replied in a muffled voice.
.
The most important thing for a woman is her reputation, but now everyone is speaking so harshly, and she wants to kill everyone who spreads the rumors.
"This is Tai Di's method. He hates Ai Jia, but because Ai Jia is the Queen Mother, it is not appropriate to take direct action, so he simply used this trick to deal with Ai Jia. So far, Tai Di's goal has been achieved."
As soon as Mu Ci finished speaking, Yingchun asked in surprise, "What should we do? My brother-in-law will soon ascend the throne, and he will be the master of the world. If he wants to deal with the empress, won't she be miserable?"
Mu Ci took a sip of tea and replied softly: "The Ai family are not afraid, so what are you, a little girl, afraid of?"
Yingchun's face turned pale: "That's true. The queen is not afraid, and the slaves are even less afraid."
"There is still a long way to go, as long as you don't cause trouble to the empress." Compared with Yingchun, Sizhu is much more stable.

A country cannot be left without a master for a day.
When the late emperor passed away, it was of course the emperor's younger brother who inherited the Xia Kingdom.
All preparations for the enthronement had been completed, and the enthronement ceremony would be held only when the crown prince returned to the palace.
On the day when Dugu Liancheng ascended the throne, Mu Ci, as the Queen Mother, was lucky enough to be there to watch.
From the moment Dugu Liancheng put on the dragon robe and ascended the throne, Dugu Liancheng's era officially came.
As a bystander, she only felt that the enthronement ceremony was too long and dull, and she felt tired just watching it.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when the new emperor came to the main palace in person and accepted the worship of all civil and military officials.
The new emperor ascended the throne, changed the name of the country to Shunzhi, and granted amnesty to the world.
The next step is for the new emperor to establish concubines. This is related to the national destiny of the Xia Kingdom, and of course it is also one of the most solemn events.
After the imperial edict came down, all the beauties accepted the canonization one by one.
Yunxi is the only concubine among all the concubines who has been given a title. "Li" is the title, and she is the second-grade Li Zhaoyi, the first of the nine concubines.
When Yun Xi knelt down to receive the order, she was still somewhat reluctant.
She thought that she was the most favored among all the concubines, and she should be one of the four concubines anyway, but she turned out to be Li Zhaoyi, who was only a second-class concubine. The only thing that made her proud was that among all the concubines, she was the only one who was given a title.
Yun Xi was not named the fourth concubine, and the happiest one among them was undoubtedly Hua Shang.
Unexpectedly, when it was her turn, she was only granted the title of Second-grade Xiuyi, and she was also one of the nine concubines.
The next person to accept the canonization was Qing Le, who was pregnant with a dragon heir. She was named Jieyu, and her concubine was in the third rank.
Green plum blossoms are called beauties and are of the fourth rank.
Three talented people of the fifth rank were canonized, namely Li Cairen, Zhao Cairen and Wu Cairen.
Among the others, there are nine Baolin, nine imperial maidens, and several maidens.
This is very different from the situation in the previous life.
Mu Ci remembered that in his previous life, Yun Xi was named one of the four concubines, Qing Le was one of the nine concubines, and Hua Shang entered the palace later.
Therefore, some things have changed. For example, in her previous life, she became the queen of Dugu Liancheng, but now she is the queen mother, watching the distribution of Dugu Liancheng's harem as a bystander.
