Dugu Liancheng, who was teasing Mu Ci before, was also attracted by this sudden scene.
He looked attentively, with a playful smile on his lips. Who prepared such a gift for his Longevity Day? It was quite interesting.
The beauty danced to the song "Big Fish". Not to mention how moving her dancing was, just her light figure was enough to attract everyone's attention, even Dugu Liancheng was fascinated.
After the beauty finished dancing, Dugu Liancheng was the first to praise her.
How could the others dare to neglect the Long Live Lord when he was so supportive? The applause burst into thunderous applause.
"Raise your head." Dugu Liancheng was still holding Mu Ci's hand, but his eyes were fixed on the beauty in the center of the stage.
The beauty took off her veil, and a perfect oval face appeared in front of everyone. She bowed and said, "Qi Luo, the daughter of the people, comes to see the emperor and wishes the emperor happiness, longevity and good health. May the country be peaceful and the people are safe, and the country be prosperous."
Dugu Liancheng played with Mu Ci's fingertips and turned to look at Mu Ci, "This Miss Qi is pretty good. What does the Queen Mother think?"
"The Ai family also thinks it's good." Mu Ci's eyes remained as usual, meeting Dugu Liancheng's eyes.
Dugu Liancheng was still smiling, but his smile turned cold: "Since the Queen Mother also thinks it's good, she will use Luo as her title and register her as a second-rank official."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other in shock.
A dancing girl who appeared out of nowhere and whose origin is unknown, the emperor actually granted her a second-grade title as a consecrated ceremonial officer? This is too childish.
Qi Luo did not expect that she would receive such a conferment. She felt as if she was in a dream, thinking that she had misheard.
Mu Ci looked at Qi Luo, who was still kneeling on the ground, and reminded with a smile: "Luo Chongyi, why don't you thank the emperor for your kindness?"
Only then did Qi Luo react and accepted the imperial edict: "I thank you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!"
When Mu Ci saw that Dugu Liancheng's beauty had finally been found, she stood up and left.
After walking out of the banquet venue, she was about to get on the chariot, when Zhao Ling followed with Jin Qiu's support: "Empress Dowager, please stay a moment."
Mu Ci got on the chariot and looked down at Zhao Ling from above: "What's the matter?"
Under the warm palace lantern, her brows and eyes were warm. Zhao Ling looked at the noble woman in front of him, took a step back and said: "I wanted to have a chat with the empress, but let's wait for another day."
Mu Ci's smile bloomed like a flower, looking a little confused in the night: "You are pregnant and give birth to this child well. The emperor is thinking of your hard work and achievements, so he will not treat you poorly."
Zhao Ling lowered his head when he heard this: "According to your good wishes, I will take good care of you and the dragon heir. I respectfully send you off to your empress."
Mu Ci looked at her again, then walked away gradually.
Zhao Ling looked at the direction Mu Ci was leaving and said softly: "There are few women like the Queen Mother in the world."
Jin Qiu spat softly: "It's a rare, rare restlessness."
Who in the harem is not saying that the Queen Mother is having an affair with the Emperor? If the Queen Mother is a decent person, she should stay away from the Emperor.
The Queen Mother is so young and the Emperor is so handsome. If the rumors are true and the Emperor is staying in Yong'an Palace, then the Queen Mother is really unruly.
"Watch your mouth and don't cause trouble." Zhao Ling said, and with Jin Qiu's help, he also got on the chariot.
When she reached the fork in the road, she met Mu Ci's Yong'an Palace.
On the way back to Yong'an Palace, Silu whispered: "Zhao Jieyu hates the empress because of Meiren Zhao. The empress needs to be more discerning."
It is impossible to say that Zhao Jieyu wanted to play evil tricks on the empress.
"Zhao Jieyu didn't miss the Ai family tonight." Mu Ci said and laughed: "If she behaves herself, the Ai family will not embarrass her. I sympathize with her only for my sister."
Entering the palace, but really want to do something evil..."
Upon hearing this, Sizhu knew that her worries were unnecessary.
Today is different from the past. The empress will no longer let others frame her.
After Mu Ci returned to Yong'an Palace, he took a bath as quickly as possible and went to bed to rest.
When Dugu Liancheng arrived, he saw a picture of a beauty sleeping in spring.
Because she had just taken a shower, Mu Ci's face was so pink and tender that she could squeeze water out of her mouth. Her long hair shawl covered half of her face, which was half innocent and half seductive. The most casual temptation was the most intense.
love potion.
While Mu Ci was sleeping, he suddenly felt short of breath. When he opened his eyes, he saw Dugu Liancheng's fanatical eyes.
She pushed, but in the end she couldn't push, so she obeyed him with half a push...
Afterwards, she was sweating all over and was held in his arms: "Why are you here?"
Didn't he just get Luo Chongyi and haven't tried it yet? No matter what, he should be sleeping with Luo Chongyi tonight.
"Today is the Longevity Festival, so of course I'm here to ask for a gift." Dugu Liancheng pinched Mu Ci's chin: "Although I like the gift just now, I still want something that I can see all the time."
Mu Ci didn't expect that Dugu Liancheng still remembered this matter: "The child's time has passed."
There is no need to give any more gifts.
"You can make up for it after it has passed." Dugu Liancheng just finished speaking and saw Mu Ci dodge away.
He said in a deep voice: "Well, you can embroider something like a sachet for me."
Mu Ci replied without thinking: "No!"
Even if she could, she wouldn't be able to embroider any sachet for him. This is not the kind of relationship she has with him.
"If you don't know how to study, I can find you an embroiderer." Dugu Liancheng then added: "This is an imperial edict and must not be disobeyed!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Mu Ci finally compromised: "Okay, I'll do it while learning, but I don't know how long it will take to learn."
It takes a day as long as it takes, but we have to deal with him first.
Dugu Liancheng was very satisfied when she relented, and then allowed her to sleep.
It was on this night that another murder occurred in the palace.
In an ancient well near Beigong, a corpse was fished out. It was an embroiderer from the Bureau of Clothing, named Zhaodi.
Mu Ci received the news early in the morning and naturally wanted to go to the ancient well to see what was going on.
Wu Zuo had completed the autopsy and reported the situation to Mu Ci: "There were marks of impact on the victim's head. At first glance, it looked like a suicide, but when I checked, I found a bruise on the victim's wrist, which should have been caused by applying too much force.
Mark. Preliminary inspection results show that the victim was forcibly thrown into the ancient well."
"How many murderers are there?" Mu Ci looked at the footprints around him.
Because it rained last night, there seemed to be a lot of footprints on the ground. It looked messy and full of people.
"Although there are many footprints, they all come from three people. One is the victim, and the other two are the footprints of the murderer. The murderers should be two men." The person who replied was Mr. Li, the minister of Dali Temple.
Then he handed Mu Ci a small fragment: "This is the object found in the victim's hand."
Mu Ci looked at the small fragment. It was too small and there was no clue. At first glance, it looked like silk fabric.
