"I don't know." Mu Ci was sincere and answered truthfully without thinking about it.
"King Ling'an carefully prepared songs and dances. There are many beauties in the palace, and he also prepared the best daughter red. Unfortunately, none of them are to my taste." Dugu Liancheng didn't know why he told Mu Ci this.
She never cared about what kind of woman he had around him, and what he said could not affect her emotions.
It's about like, if you don't vomit, you won't be happy.
As an emperor, the relationship between him and his courtiers is that of a monarch and his ministers. It is impossible for him to talk to his ministers about trivial matters in his life.
As for his harem and concubines, it is even more impossible for him to tell them this.
The only person who can make him say something true is Mu Ci.
Mu Ci felt drowsy after hearing this: "What does the emperor want to say? King Ling'an should be for the emperor, right? The person closest to the emperor is King Ling'an."
Dugu Liancheng turned to look at Mu Ci: "Actually, that's not the case. The person closest to me now is you."
Mu Ci was startled and turned to look at Dugu Liancheng.
The previous sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and she never expected that Dugu Liancheng would say such a thing to her.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Mu Ci's eyes were clear and flawless, but Dugu Liancheng's eyes were full of trouble.
Mu Ci was the first to look away and couldn't answer the question for a moment.
Is this an honor for her? Or is she scared?
"Have a rest." Dugu Liancheng sighed almost inaudibly and lay back on the couch with Mu Ci in his arms.
He still hugged Mu Ci and didn't let go.
Before, she would be angry and angry, thinking that she shouldn't be so boring or careless, but now she is used to her temper. It seems that her dull reaction is in line with her nature. If it was because of his words, she would act happy,
That would not be Mu Ci.
"If you become pregnant one day, there will no longer be you as the Queen Mother in this harem..."
As Dugu Liancheng spoke, he started to attack Mu Ci.
Mu Ci knew what he had not finished saying.
If she becomes pregnant with his heir, there will be no more queen mother in the harem, and she will definitely become his concubine.
She had already figured out his intention earlier, but she didn't expect that he would declare it so straightforwardly.
In other words, he has already made his decision.
Whether she wants it or not, she will become his concubine.
At midnight, Mu Ci was still awake and stared intently at the gray shadow on the wall, which looked like pale white, just like the epitome of the harem.
She had experienced a bloody storm in her previous life and had such a disastrous ending. Why would she ever be willing to follow the same path in her previous life?
It's just like the late emperor's premonition before his death, things in the world always have a set track, and they will eventually follow the same old path.
After all, she was still unwilling to give in.
On Mu Ci's birthday, although there was no grand birthday banquet, Dugu Liancheng still took matters into his own hands and invited the higher-ranking concubines from the harem to Yong'an Palace to celebrate Mu Ci's birthday.
None of this is a big deal.
But when Mu Ci saw Geng who was dressed up for the occasion, she still felt a surprise.
She really didn't expect that her mother would enter the palace.
Geng wanted to salute Mu Ci, but Mu Ci greeted him personally: "Mother, there is no need to salute your daughter."
Geng followed Mu Ci and sat down, when suddenly an imperial edict came.
And this imperial edict was issued to Geng.
Geng accepted the order in a daze, never expecting that the current Holy Emperor would suddenly confer her the title of Lady of Rongguo. Originally, her separation from Mu Zhi was not a glorious matter, and she was unwilling to enter the palace on the occasion of her birthday.
To prevent my daughter from being talked about.
Who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly order Biyu to take her into the palace, and in front of all the concubines, he would title her Lady Rongguo.
This is not only the best birthday gift for my daughter, but also makes those who are talking about right and wrong behind my back not to have any objections.
Not to mention that Geng was overjoyed, even Mu Ci was surprised that the emperor would reward Geng.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a great honor.
But there was no joy in her heart, instead she felt heavy.
What she always wanted to do was to get rid of the fate of her previous life. But no matter how hard she struggled, she was still walking on the same old path, which made her feel like a trapped animal.
Therefore, she still has to plan for her own freedom in the future.
But there is no need to worry about this matter, it must be done without leaving any trace, and the emperor will be willing to let her go free.
In fact, when Geng appeared in Yong'an Palace, many people still wanted to see Mu Ci's jokes.
There was even a small group of concubines who thought this meant that the emperor was looking down on Mu Ci.
After all, Mu Zhi was a high-ranking official. Although it sounds nicer to say that it was Mu Zhi who reconciled with the Geng family, but people with a discerning eye know that it was Mu Zhi who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and the Geng family announced the divorce in order to protect his own thin face.
Before there was peace and separation, Mrs. Geng was a first-class official. After peace and separation, Mrs. Geng was just a commoner's wife, and her status was greatly reduced.
Everyone didn't have this opportunity to laugh at Mr. Geng before, but now that he's been sent to the palace, it would be strange if everyone didn't take the opportunity to laugh at Mu Ci's jokes.
Unfortunately, before he could take action, the emperor named Geng the first-class Rongguo Madam.
This is Geng's own glory and has nothing to do with Mu Zhi. This Rongguo lady is far more important than the previous Yipingaoming lady.
This is the title of a royal lady, and the greatest honor of the title.
Especially for a lady like Geng to be granted the title of Lady of the State, it was unprecedented in the previous dynasty.
Therefore, this is the emperor's favor towards Mu Ci.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the emperor to use this method to please Mu Ci at Mu Ci's birthday banquet.
When Shen Manyun saw this scene, he felt extremely sad.
This means that when she sees Mr. Geng in the future, she will have to pay three respects. This is the royal wife of the emperor, so she is very powerful.
She quickly calmed down her thoughts and congratulated Mu Ci: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for a long life, and congratulations to Mrs. Rongguo for her continued blessings."
Seeing that Shen Manyun was the first to congratulate, the other concubines followed suit and congratulated Mu Ci and Geng in turn.
For a time, Yong'an Palace was very lively.
At this moment, the emperor's chariot wearing a dragon robe arrived, and everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the emperor's handsome face.
It’s no wonder that the concubines couldn’t take their eyes away from Dugu Liancheng’s face. He was really so handsome, and he had the majesty and nobility of an emperor. Such a high-quality man, even if he was not the emperor, was the heart of many women.
The object of admiration.
What's more, this man is the current emperor and the most noble figure in Daxia.
Mu Ci also saw the shy and timid looks of the concubines, and thought that everyone has a love for beauty. Like them, she had also been attracted by Dugu Liancheng's face. It can be seen that the appearance of a person is also one of the troubles.
It's a pity that the emperor is unpredictable and rarely walks around the harem.
Even to those concubines who rarely see the dragon's face, the emperor is not only aloof, but also mysterious.
Now that the emperor is here, it is normal for everyone to be yearning for it.
