Standing in Mu Ci's position, one might also feel that being a queen mother is better than being a concubine. At the very least, the queen mother's status is respected, but once she enters the harem, she is just an ordinary concubine, and her position is still much inferior to that of the queen mother.
Sometimes Dugu Liancheng also feels that only the position of queen can make Mu Ci willingly step down from the position of queen mother, and be considered worthy of her...
How could Dugu Liangqi know what Dugu Liancheng was thinking? He said to himself: "Brother, you can't be careless about this matter. Mu Ci is really going to get pregnant, and both the princess and the prince will be illegitimate children by then. This is a top priority."
In the past, he had planned to turn a blind eye, but then he started to worry when he heard that Mu Ci was pregnant.
Fortunately, Mu Ci's previous pregnancy was lost, which saved her from trouble later on. Otherwise, if Mu Ci really gave birth, how would he stop everyone in the world from talking about it?
Hasn’t Brother Huang never thought about this most practical issue?
In the past, he never dared to mention this matter to the emperor brother. He dared to mention it today because the matter between the emperor brother and Mu Ci was no longer a secret. Everyone knew it, so he was not afraid to mention it in front of the emperor brother.
"I told you to put this matter on hold for now." Dugu Liancheng was a little anxious when Dugu Lianqi said this.
I had never thought of this in the past, but Dugu Lianqi said that if he and Mu Ci's child were born, they would be illegitimate children who could not see the light of day. What kind of noble people he and Mu Ci's children were, how could they suffer such injustice?
Dugu Lianqi saw that Dugu Liancheng was unhappy and could not continue: "My brother is always doing the best for the emperor, so the emperor should think about this matter."
"I know you are serious. I will consider this matter carefully before making any plans." Dugu Liancheng softened his expression.
Seeing that Dugu Liancheng was not angry, Dugu Liangqi was relieved.
After that, Dugu Liancheng told Dugu Lianqi to temporarily supervise the country, and Dugu Lianqi responded one by one.
The emperor's brother, who always attached great importance to state affairs, ignored state affairs in order to relax with Mu Ci. This was also unique. One can imagine the status of Mu Ci in the emperor's heart.
When Mallow learned that Dugu Liancheng was taking Mu to leave the summer resort, she began to make plans in her heart.
This time is a good opportunity. The people in the Summer Resort are no more talkative than the people in the palace. She will definitely have a chance to get close to the emperor and take advantage of the opportunity to attack him.
This matter can only succeed, otherwise, this matter will only lead to death.
You must know that the emperor is the lord of the world, and if she dares to use this method to plot against the emperor, there is no way that the emperor will leave any room for her.
The day to go to the summer resort was quickly decided. In the end, in addition to Mu Ci, Mu Xue, Wu Jieyu and Shen Manyun accompanied the emperor.
Shen Manyun was naturally happy to be selected to accompany him, but it was a pity that An Rong was not among them.
After An Rong learned about this incident, she disagreed: "I have never been favored, and the emperor will not let me accompany you. It is reasonable. My sister is having fun, so there is no pity."
"I heard that Mu Ci is solely responsible this time. Who knows if she is seeking revenge for personal reasons? Deliberately not letting you accompany her?" Shen Manyun curled her lips.
An Rong's eyes flashed slightly: "I have no personal enmity with the Queen Mother. On the contrary, my sister and the Queen Mother have had a feud. If the Queen Mother really wants to avenge her personal enmity, she should not let her accompany her."
When Shen Manyun heard this, he felt that it made sense.
The whole harem knew that she and Mu Ci were not on good terms. Mu Ci allowed her to accompany him even though they had a feud. This was unprecedented. How could it be a public revenge?
After comforting Shen Manyun, An Rong quickly wondered if there was something fishy about this trip to the summer resort.
Since Mu Ci became the Queen Mother, she rarely went out of the palace to have fun. This time she not only offered to go to the Mountain Resort, but also thoughtfully selected a few concubines to accompany her. No one else could find fault with this.
But she always felt that Mu Ci shouldn't just look at the surface when doing things, there might be some hidden secrets that she didn't know about.
She thought about it a thousand times and had no intention of dealing with Shen Manyun again.
This time, she also had a strong interest in the summer vacation. But she was not among the concubines accompanying her. Even if she wanted to know what Mu Ci was planning, she probably wouldn't have the chance.
Unless the emperor allows her to go with him.
With the mentality of giving it a try, An Rong went to Yanfu Palace, intending to explore the emperor's tone.
Seeing her coming, Malkui was very kind and took the initiative to give up his position and let her study ink.
"The emperor takes care of everything, works diligently and loves the people, and is truly a blessing to the people of Daxia." An Rong's words came from the bottom of her heart.
An emperor like the emperor is not only diligent and caring for the people, but also does not have the romantic habits of an emperor. The emperor rarely walks around the harem, treating the harem as a decoration, simply because he does not want to face the concubines that he is not interested in.
Of course, that includes her.
"As an emperor, isn't it your duty to work diligently and love the people?" Dugu Liancheng asked quietly.
An Rong laughed dumbly: "The emperor's words are reasonable, but the sisters in the harem hope that the emperor will move around the harem more. The emperor is going to the summer resort this time, can he take his concubine with him? I have been bored in the harem all day, and I also want to go out of the palace. Take a walk.”
She has been in the palace for more than a year and has never had a chance to leave the palace.
Dugu Liancheng didn't expect An Rong to make such a request. In fact, it didn't matter who accompanied him, as long as Mu Ci was there, it wouldn't be boring.
"This matter is handled by the Queen Mother, and I have no right to comment. If you want to go together, you can go to the Queen Mother." Dugu Liancheng replied quietly.
An Rong lowered her eyebrows when she heard this: "Is it possible for me to ask you a favor?"
She should have known that the emperor had no mercy for her.
Dugu Liancheng nodded: "You say."
"The emperor will play a game with me. If I am lucky enough to win against the emperor, the emperor will allow me to accompany him, okay?" An Rong looked at Dugu Liancheng eagerly.
She had already thought of a countermeasure before she came here, as long as the emperor gave her a chance.
Dugu Liancheng thought for a while and felt that with Anrong's chess skills, the chance of beating him was slim. But he also knew that there were no absolutes in this world.
"As I said, if you want to go together, you can go to the Queen Mother. Since I leave this matter to the Queen Mother, I should naturally respect her wishes." Dugu Liancheng was lukewarm and gave An Rong a cold nail.
An Rong lowered her eyes, eliminating the strange color in her eyes.
The emperor's chess skills are far better than hers, but he is not willing to take risks for Mu Ci. This shows that the emperor respects Mu Ci.
She thought she had half a chance, but now she realized that the emperor didn't care about her thoughts at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty." An Rong was very sensible and stopped discussing this topic.
After that, the emperor continued to be busy. After she finished serving the pen and ink, she retired on her own.
Before leaving, she saw the mallow.
She also saw the changes in Mallow. The Mallow in front of her was no longer as ignorant of the fireworks of the world as before, and she also wanted something.
Usually people who want nothing have no weaknesses, but if they have desires, they will have shortcomings.
