Chapter 476: The important task of inheriting the lineage
Dugu Lianqi hinted for a long time, but when he saw that Gu Zhiqing didn't help, he was immediately discouraged.
As for the emperor's temperament, he usually doesn't like women to get close to each other, and Mu Ci is the only one. Today is a rare opportunity, and he plans to cast a wide net, and there will be one beauty of every kind. No matter how tricky the emperor is,
There is always someone who can catch the eye of the emperor.
If the emperor is allowed to drink some wine, it will be easy to achieve his goal.
It's a pity that Gu Zhiqing didn't cooperate with him, and the emperor's brother also looked uninterested, leaving him alone to perform a one-man show.
You must know that the beauties he spent time finding were all carefully selected.
"It's getting late, I'll go back to the palace tonight to make arrangements." Just when Dugu Liangqi was heartbroken, Dugu Liancheng suddenly spoke.
Dugu Lianqi's expression changed slightly: "Didn't the emperor agree to stay in my younger brother's house for a day?"
Dugu Liancheng looked at him deeply: "I dare not live in the smoke and smoke in your house."
Dugu Lianqi didn't expect that the emperor's brother would speak so clearly, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be kept.
"Brother Huang really loves to joke." He replied bravely.
"King Ling'an, you are a dignified prince and one of the people I trust most. Today you are doing the business of a pimp under the guise of discussing politics. Do I still need to be grateful to you for finding these women who don't know what they are called?
?" Dugu Liancheng's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes became sharp.
Dugu Lianqi was startled and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "My brother is scared!"
"If I hadn't thought that you had no ill intentions, I would never have spared you! Remember, it's just this once, and it won't happen next time." Dugu Liancheng said, throwing away his sleeves.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqing went to Dugulian to pray, and said sincerely: "I know that the emperor is not happy, but the prince has to come here. Doesn't this make the emperor angry?"
Dugu Lianqi felt depressed, but had nothing to say.
Gu Zhiqing did say that this method was not feasible, but he still wanted to give it a try.
Now that the results have come out, he has no choice but to accept his fate. The emperor's brother is really indifferent and has no interest in these beautiful women.
But this was Mu Ci's intention. He was just acting on Mu Ci's orders, so you can't blame him entirely, right?
Over there, Gu Zhiqing caught up with Dugu Liancheng and heard Dugu Liancheng ask: "Did you give King Ling'an an idea tonight?"
"I have tried to persuade the prince, but the prince said that he wanted to give it a try, saying that he would do his best to obey the destiny. I saw that the prince was sincere to the emperor, so I couldn't persuade him any more." Gu Zhiqing was ashamed.
"King Ling'an is indeed doing it for my own good, otherwise I would have punished him today!" Dugu Liancheng lowered the car curtain and gave the order: "Go back to the palace!"
Gu Zhiqing saw him off respectfully until the emperor's carriage disappeared into the night.
Only then did Dugu Lianqi dare to show up, and stood beside Gu Zhiqing and sighed: "Brother, how can it be so good? No matter how good Mu Ci is, she is still a member of the late emperor, and she is also the current empress dowager. I still don't want to be with the emperor.
Brother, otherwise I wouldn’t have encouraged this king to send beauties to the harem. Isn’t this what I’m doing for the sake of my brother and the royal family?”
However, the emperor's brother didn't appreciate it. He, a minister's younger brother, did this, which made the emperor's brother tired.
"The emperor is not a common man and has a very high spirit. It was only after meeting the emperor that I realized that there are emperors who are as different as the emperor." Gu Zhiqing sighed.
Most of the emperors he knew had a harem, but this one was different now. He rarely walked around the harem. If it were said that the emperor was not a womanizer, it was not entirely true, because the emperor loved Mu Ci, the alluring and refined woman.
Queen Mother.
"Don't just sigh, think of a solution quickly. What the king is worried about is that the royal family has few heirs. It won't work if this continues. The royal brother has the important task of passing on the family line..." Dugu Lianqi began to chatter.
Gu Zhiqing laughed when he heard this, "Haste makes waste in this kind of thing. Although the beauty the prince is looking for today is beautiful, she is not distinctive enough. Even if you want to find one, you should find someone with enough characteristics, so that the emperor can like her."
, otherwise it’s just useless work.”
"What you say makes sense. But where can I find a unique woman in this short period of time?" Dugu Lianqi asked this question seriously.
"So I say that this matter cannot be rushed. It is better to wait for another year. One year later, it will be the third year of the emperor's accession to the throne. At that time, the best women from all over the country will be sent to the palace, whether they are outstanding in temperament or appearance.
Those who are alluring are the top ones selected from all over the country. Although they may not be as beautiful as the Queen Mother, there will always be a special woman who can attract the emperor's attention." Gu Zhiqing said.
own opinions.
The girl sent by King Ling'an today is beautiful, but not distinctive enough. How could the emperor, who is so picky, like her?
"We have to wait for another year, which is too long. Many things can happen in one year, and I am afraid that by then, Mu Ci's children will be born." Dugu Lianqi sighed.
Who can understand his concerns?
The emperor's brother was so fascinated by Mu Ci that he usually did not enter the harem and only went to Yong'an Palace to stay overnight.
If he hadn't been taking care of it, everyone in the world would have known about the matter between the imperial brother and Mu Ci.
"I still say the same thing, haste makes waste, and it's useless for the prince to be anxious." Gu Zhiqing still insisted on his opinion.
Dugu Lianqi sighed helplessly: "That's all, this is the only way for now. By the way, is there a special woman by your side? If so, just send it to the emperor brother, and with me on the side to help, there will definitely be a good future."
Gu Zhiqing shook his head without hesitation: "No."
Even if there is, it is impossible to send it to the palace. If a man like the emperor cannot win the emperor's heart, he will definitely not end well.
In addition, there is Mu Ci in the palace. It would be really difficult to find a woman who is more outstanding than Mu Ci.
And Mu Ci is the emperor's favorite person. If he knew this and sent the woman next to him to the palace, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Dugu Lianqi was in a low mood and chatted with Gu Zhiqing for a while before returning to the palace.
Dugu Liancheng returned to the palace overnight. He originally wanted to go back to Yanfu Palace, but later he took a different route and went to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci had already fallen asleep.
When she was pulled up from the couch by Dugu Liancheng, she was still confused: "Emperor?"
Didn't he leave the palace? It was said that he would stay outside the palace. Since it was King Ling'an who was hosting the banquet, she roughly guessed that there must be many beauties at the peach blossom banquet hosted by King Ling'an.
I thought I could finally rest tonight, but unexpectedly the emperor came again.
"Talk to me." Dugu Liancheng simply undressed and got on the couch.
Mu Ci rarely threw herself into her arms, and Dugu Liancheng had long been accustomed to her coldness. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Today I went to Ling'an Prince's Mansion. I originally planned to stay in the Prince's Mansion for one night before returning to the palace, but I made a sudden decision and chose to go back to the palace. Do you know why?" Dugu Liancheng pursed his lips quietly.
