Chapter 28: A thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh
Dugu Liancheng has just ascended the throne, and the harem is empty. Many beauties will be stationed in the palace in the future. As an emperor, his considerations are far more profound than others. He wants to reserve a place for concubines who will be useful to him in the future.
Mu Ci didn't understand the truth in his previous life, but now he understands it.
For Dugu Liancheng, there are only two types of women. One is a woman who is valuable, and the other is a woman who has no value and is just used for fun or decoration.
While she was distracted, Dugu Liancheng's cold gaze swept over her.
She looked away as if nothing had happened, pretending to be looking at other scenery.
When she turned her eyes, she met her father's eyes.
As the minister of the dynasty, his father was of course highly regarded. However, it was precisely because of the powerful Mu family that Dugu Liancheng regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
As for what her father's plan was, she could more or less guess it.
Probably because he wanted to send another daughter of the Mu family into the palace.
Originally, the Mu family wanted to have a queen, but she ruined her father's good deeds and became the queen mother herself. Although the queen mother was somewhat useful, she could not compare to the queen, who could contribute to the royal family.
Her father always wanted to talk to her alone, but she pretended not to know and ignored him, delaying it as long as possible.
Wait until the day comes when you can no longer put it off and then make plans.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and there was another grand occasion in the evening. The concubines who had just ascended the throne attended the banquet in costumes. They were so beautiful and beautiful in their own way that it was dizzying to see.
Everyone hopes to be the first concubine favored by the new emperor, and Yun Xi is the most nervous among them.
Because she pretended to be sick last time, Long Live Lord asked her to take good care of herself and said she would not use her brand for two months. Now that she has not done so for a month, it is normal for her to feel uneasy.
If she can't sleep with him, Hua Shang has the best chance of sleeping with him.
Looking at Hua Shang dressed up in all her charming ways, she would be stunning to any woman, let alone the current Holy Emperor?
"I heard that the emperor had previously issued a decree that my sister would not be allowed to sleep with her for two months. The emperor is really considerate to my sister." As if he knew Yun Xi's worries, Hua Shang didn't open any pot.
Yun Xi's face remained unchanged and she smiled: "That is the favor the emperor bestows on me. Could it be that sister Xiuyi also wants such a favor?"
"What did my sister say? I don't dare to steal my sister's favor." Hua Shang smiled like a flower and looked directly at the direction of the new emperor with her foxy eyes: "I don't know which beauty can serve me tonight.
Go to bed, I’m really looking forward to it.”
Yun Xi thought to herself that this foxy child must have dared to be so arrogant because he thought that he would be betrayed tonight.
She was afraid that she had forgotten that there were unforeseen circumstances, and Hua Shang thought victory was within grasp at the moment, but she was afraid that she would be happy too early.
Just when the concubines were thinking about how to attract the new emperor's attention, Dugu Liancheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up and said: "I have just returned to the palace, and there are still many political affairs to deal with. Dear dear princes and concubines,
continue."
After saying this, he left surrounded by everyone.
The remaining concubines looked at each other in shock. None of them expected that the new emperor would not turn over the sign of anyone in the harem when he ascended the throne. This was completely different from what they expected.
As soon as the new emperor left, the concubines no longer wanted to enjoy the dance.
After sitting there for a moment, Yun Xi stood up and said, "I'm tired, so I'll go back to Cuiwei Palace first."
Among all the concubines currently, only Concubine Yunxi has the highest position, and all the concubines stood up to see her off.
