Chapter 478: The king reveals the scars to each other
Of course Dugu Liancheng didn't know that all the ladies were upset, so he sat down on the main seat without looking away.
After seeing the ceremony, he talked to Mr. Geng cordially, as if he were a junior, which flattered Mr. Geng.
The concubines and concubines had never seen the current Holy Emperor like this. In addition, they all knew that Geng had received Mu Ci's blessing, so their current mood was even more complicated.
Mu Ci's mood was actually complicated.
She knew that Dugu Liancheng was particularly gracious and granted his mother the title of Lady of the State. This was an unprecedented favor, and it was also because of her.
But this kind of favor made her more surprised than happy.
Dugu Liancheng's little thoughts just didn't tell the world.
To other concubines, this should be a great favor. But to Mu Ci, this is a burden.
Dugu Liancheng was in a very good mood, and he glanced at Mu Ci from time to time.
Although Mu Ci is now dressed in a python suit, dignified and majestic, with a noble temperament, no one can believe that she is the current Queen Mother at first glance. On the contrary, she looks more like a queen.
Somehow, this idea took root in Dugu Liancheng's mind.
If she hadn't suddenly remarried, she should have been his queen.
Mu Ci did not realize that the emperor was worried.
She said she didn't want to have a grand birthday banquet today, but since everyone from the second rank and above came to congratulate her, and almost all the concubines from the harem were present, it was quite lively for a while.
According to Dugu Liancheng's wish, he originally wanted to hold a lively dinner party in the evening to celebrate Mu Ci turning one year older.
However, Mu Ci didn't want to be too high-profile, so he had to give up in the end.
Dugu Liancheng wanted to keep Geng in the harem and stay with Mu Ci for a few more days, but Mu Ci was unwilling and ordered Jirou to send Geng out of the palace.
Mu Ci knew it well.
People in the harem were talkative, and she didn't want her mother to be saddened by the news about her and the emperor.
Therefore, she would not easily leave her mother to stay in the palace. Even if she missed her mother, she did not want to take risks.
It was really disgraceful for her to commit herself to the emperor.
Although she can't change reality, she doesn't want her mother to be hurt because of her mistakes.
After Ji Rou saw off Mrs. Rong Guo, she immediately came back to report to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci asked some more details and was reassured that Mrs. Rong Guo had not asked about her and the emperor.
Ji Rou left, and Mu Ci was still standing under the dim palace lantern, distracted. She didn't even notice when Dugu Liancheng walked in front of her.
"Today is your birthday, and you don't seem too happy." Dugu Liancheng said softly.
He thought that making Geng the Lady of Rongguo would please Mu Ci, but he didn't know that he still didn't understand this woman's temperament well enough.
He didn't know how to get her to open up to him, and it seemed that no matter what he did, he couldn't make her show her face.
Never in his life had he spent so much time on his computer just to please a woman?
Even if she gave him some response, it would be better than being indifferent like now.
"I'm happy to see my mother today. You also made my mother the lady of the country and maintained the dignity of my mother and I. I can't repay this love." Mu Ci rarely lowered his eyebrows.
"Really happy?" Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's expression.
Mu Ci burst out laughing: "How can this be false? If I'm not happy, I will never force myself to smile."
Dugu Liancheng saw that she was smiling without hesitation, and there was a smile in his eyes: "As long as you are happy. Forget all the bad things in the past. You are still young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. Don't spend all your time talking.
She has a face like a little old woman."
Although she is the Queen Mother, she is still young. She just turned seventeen today, and her good days are still ahead.
Mu Ci felt that there was some truth in what he said.
But the bad things he said seemed to mean something?
Seeing Mu Ci's suspicious look, Dugu Liancheng coughed lightly and looked away.
Those bad things in the past, of course, refer to the unhappiness between her and him when she first entered the palace.
Mu Ci is a smart man. Seeing Dugu Liancheng in this state, he suddenly understood what he meant by the unhappiness he was talking about.
"The emperor thinks that as the queen mother, I was thrown into the cold palace, and later was sent to the prison. These are all trivial matters. Can you just forget them?" Mu Ci said calmly.
Not to mention that as the Queen Mother, she was forced to become his woman in humiliation. How could she forget this debt?
"You can't blame me for attacking you. It was you who made me lose face in the first place. Is it your fault that you remarried on your wedding day and made me embarrassed to face the world?" Dugu Liancheng asked back.
Mu Ci looked away and replied Xu Sheng: "You and I have our own inseparable ties. It doesn't matter what is right or wrong."
If she hadn't had the experience of rebirth, she wouldn't have suddenly remarried the late emperor. What's wrong with her planning for herself?
But she couldn't tell Dugu Liancheng directly about this matter.
And the friendship between her and Dugu Liancheng will always be there and will not disappear with the passage of time.
In her previous life, she and Dugu Liancheng were sworn enemies. Even if she were to live another life, she would never forget the humiliation Dugu Liancheng had inflicted on her.
Did Dugu Liancheng think that if he named his mother the Lady of Rongguo, she would burst into tears of gratitude and then commit herself to him?
Then he was dead wrong.
"Why can't it be solved?! I can laugh at the past, and you can too if you want!" Dugu Liancheng straightened Mu Ci's shoulders: "You are an open-minded woman, and you will definitely not be as narrow-minded as other women.
Bar?"
"The emperor is right. I am a narrow-minded little girl. I don't have the emperor's broad mind. I will remember those unpleasant things for the rest of my life!" Mu Ci brushed away Dugu Liancheng's hand and walked away.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's back and sneered twice.
He was really trying to step down for her, but she still didn't follow the trend and didn't take advantage of him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Queen Mother is just saying angry words. I believe that the Queen Mother has also seen the Emperor's sincerity, and the Queen Mother will definitely let go of her previous prejudices in the future." Li Yu stepped forward and said all kinds of nice things to the Emperor.
"Look at her, does she know how to advance and retreat?" Dugu Liancheng didn't have high expectations.
It seemed that no matter what he did, she would never be too grateful. She was not necessarily very happy for such a great favor today.
He has never been so frustrated. He treats her well, but she doesn't appreciate it. If he treats her badly, she says he will remember it for the rest of his life. This woman is just indifferent.
"This..." Li Yu sneered: "This also shows that the empress is special enough. If the empress is as easy to coax as other masters, she will not be the empress, right?"
Dugu Liancheng said nothing. He still used his old tricks and decided to let her get pregnant with his imperial heir.
So I work harder at night.
Mu Ci was tortured, but she figured out one thing before going to bed. The emperor had policies, and she had to think of countermeasures. There was no need to embarrass herself.
