When getting off the boat, the four well-prepared concubines were not able to get any advantage. From the beginning to the end, the emperor's eyes were on Mu Ci. Where could they be accommodated?
It was just that Mu Ci's thunderous skills made them understand one thing. If they were not absolutely sure to get Mu Ci to dismount, they would have no choice but to watch the emperor dote on Mu Ci without any recourse.
Watching the emperor and Mu Ci go away together, Yao Feier, who had never had a sense of presence, couldn't help but sigh: "The relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager is so good. Speaking of which, the empress dowager and the emperor can be considered childhood sweethearts, right?"
As soon as she said this, Qi Luo and Chen Zhiqin looked at Muxue at the same time.
"So, Concubine Shu and the Emperor are childhood sweethearts." The person who answered was Qi Luo.
Muxue's face didn't look very pretty.
There is something in the words of these three women, and they are clearly talking about why it was Mu Ci, a childhood sweetheart, who got the emperor's attention, but she was abandoned aside.
When Emperor Qingyuan was on the throne, it was common for Mu Ci to enter the palace, but she could not.
She is the concubine of the Mu family. There has been a distinction between concubine and concubine since ancient times. In addition, her father has high hopes for Mu Ci, so he leaves everything useful and delicious to Mu Ci.
Even the best men in Daxia Kingdom were prepared for Mu Ci.
When she was very young, she knew that Mu Ci was Dugu Liancheng's future wife, so Mu Ci could freely enter and leave the palace and gain a sense of presence in front of Dugu Liancheng.
It's just that Mu Ci was chasing Dugu Liancheng at that time, but Dugu Liancheng didn't necessarily like Mu Ci.
Now it's the other way around. Dugu Liancheng, who is the emperor, lowers his profile towards Mu Ci and indulges Mu Ci in everything.
Therefore, Mu Ci has a good life. She was protected by her father when she was in the boudoir. Now that she has entered the palace, the emperor who always hated her suddenly became obsessed with her and treated her like a jewel.
Now she is still being ridiculed by these vicious women, why should she be depressed?
"How can I have a good life like the Queen Mother? The Emperor and the Queen Mother have a deep love. Whether it is me or the three sisters, they can only rely on the Queen Mother. But after all, the Queen Mother is my wife.
Sister, I can benefit from the glory of the Queen Mother to some extent, so all sisters, please wish for your own blessings."
There was something in Muxue's words, and the three people present also understood what Muxue meant. He was mocking them for finding it difficult to even see the emperor, let alone sleep with him.
"According to me, everyone has his or her destiny. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? I have also heard a saying, which is - the greatest prosperity will inevitably lead to decline." Qi Luo said this and left on a chariot.
.
The remaining three people felt bored and went their separate ways.
When Muxue returned to Xihua Palace, she recalled Qi Luo's saying that prosperity must inevitably decline, and felt that this was also true.
In the past year or so, Mu Ci's stay in the harem has been too smooth, and the emperor pampered Mu Ci so much, as if the emperor would give it to Mu Ci without saying a word.
No one in the harem is Mu Ci's opponent at the moment. In today's harem, Mu Ci is the only one who excels. There are many people who are jealous of Mu Ci. Who knows what someone is planning behind the scenes?
She also doesn't believe that a person's good luck can last a lifetime. Mu Ci will suffer disaster sooner or later, it just depends on when.
After thinking about this, she was no longer angry.
The days to come are still long. She has survived several calamities, so she should calm down and stop taking action easily. Only those who can maintain their loneliness can prosper forever.
After the Qiqiao Festival, the Wanshou Festival comes next.
Dugu Liancheng asked Mu Ci for a birthday gift early, saying that he wanted her to give him an imperial heir. Mu Ci pretended not to hear, but Dugu Liancheng felt that the matter of giving birth to an emperor's heir was not a matter of time, and had to be found.
A gift that can be received on Longevity Day.
As a result, Mu Ci was called over by Dugu Liancheng and asked her to help him make a robe.
For Mu Ci, being a female celebrity was too difficult for her. The snow hat she made for Nian'er that day was stepped on by the emperor. Later she made another one, but it took a lot of time.
Asking her to make a robe is tantamount to torture.
But Dugu Liancheng did not give her a chance to refuse, and instead assigned her a task: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask Si Yi, Si Yi or Dian Yi for advice. This is a task for you. If you
If you can complete it on the Wanshou Festival, I can give you the death-free gold medal you want."
Mu Ci was originally uninterested, but when he heard that he could get the gold medal to avoid death, he immediately changed his mind, "Well, since you don't dislike my handiwork, I will make a robe for you."
Of course, if you want to do it, just make a robe with the simplest workmanship. After all, the emperor didn't say what type of clothes he wanted.
Seeing that Mu Ci agreed so readily, Dugu Liancheng couldn't help but sneer: "I have never seen a woman more powerful than you."
She was about to refuse at first sight, but immediately changed her mind when she heard that she was offered a gold medal to avoid death. This woman couldn't impress her with her sincerity, and what she loved most was only power.
It seems that he has to guard his power well, otherwise if the country of Daxia changes hands, Mu Ci will be the first to leave him.
How could he be attracted to such a woman...
Thinking about this, he realized something was wrong.
How could he be attracted to Mu Ci? It was just because she was difficult to tame that he only remembered her among so many women in the harem.
He was not tempted at all, but just wanted her to surrender.
"What's wrong with power?" Mu Ci disagreed.
If Dugu Liancheng had not pressured him as an emperor, she would not have committed herself to him. She was willing to compromise because he was the emperor and she wanted to take advantage of his power.
She had never concealed her desire for power, and it was not the first time he knew about it, so it was ridiculous that he only started to care about it now.
Dugu Liancheng looked at her with complicated eyes: "If I am no longer the emperor one day, will you still follow me?"
Mu Ci pretended to think for a while and responded readily: "No."
Dugu Liancheng was extremely angry and laughed back: "You are not ambiguous at all."
Mu Ci smiled lightly and said nothing. Seeing Dugu Liancheng's extremely angry look, she felt a little proud in her heart.
Dugu Liancheng became even more angry when he saw her smiling face. He thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "If another emperor asked you to be his woman, would you be willing to be with that person?"
Mu Ci answered without hesitation this time: "Of course I will, why not?"
"You?!" Dugu Liancheng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, but Mu Ci dropped these words and walked away.
Of course he didn't see the smile on Mu Ci's face when he turned around, but Biyu saw it with sharp eyes.
When she saw the emperor sulking, she found it funny.
Although the emperor is a wise king, he still lacks some skills when facing women, so Mu Ci has the upper hand every time.
"Your Majesty is just joking, why should the Emperor take her seriously?" Biyu said to reassure her.
"She is not joking. Look at her restless temperament. How can she be able to control her loneliness?" Dugu Liancheng sneered.
