Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci's back and wanted to ask her to come back, but he had no position. After all, it was him who said that if he won, he could go back to Weiyang Palace. He couldn't go back on his promise. This was not what a man would do.
When Mu Ci walked out of Yanfu Palace, he casually asked Sizhu: "What time is it now?"
"It's almost time." Sizhu softly expressed her worries: "Your Majesty has just left Yanfu Palace at this hour, and she will be criticized again."
The emperor clearly did it on purpose, leaving the empress until this hour, so that people would mistakenly think that the emperor and the empress were having an affair, thus ruining her reputation.
"It doesn't matter. The emperor is pushing Ai Jia out and using him as a shield." Mu Ci said softly.
"How do you explain this?" Sizhu didn't understand.
Mu Ci smiled and said nothing.
These are just her suspicions.
Dugu Liancheng asked her to take charge of the harem and asked her to turn over the cards. He didn't seem like someone who would do such boring things for no reason.
As an emperor, he didn't have so much leisure time, so he devoted all his efforts to dealing with her.
The only explanation is that he has other purposes for doing this. For example, he doesn't want to enter the harem, but as an emperor, it is inevitable to be exposed to rain and dew. If things go on like this, not to mention the harem being full of complaints, it is difficult to block the people in the court.
mouth.
Now that she was pushed out, it became that it was not that Dugu Liancheng was unwilling to enter the harem, but that she was possessive and did not want Dugu Liancheng to enter the harem. She was the culprit for the emperor's refusal to enter the harem.
I asked her why she had such a guess. It was because in her previous life, Dugu Liancheng rarely turned over the signs. Even if she turned over the signs once in a while, some misfortune would always happen, and in the end, the bedtime matter ended without any problem.
At that time, she could see that the emperor Dugu Liancheng did not care about women.
After returning to Weiyang Palace, Mu Ci immediately lay down to rest.
Early the next morning, all the concubines of the sixth rank and above came to Weiyang Palace to pay their respects.
Dugu Liancheng pushed Mu Ci out because he didn't want her to live too leisurely.
Mu Ci guessed it, but didn't get up early. She was the Queen Mother, a respected person, and it was natural for her concubines to wait for her.
In this way, everyone waited for an hour. It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Mu Ci appeared in everyone's sight, holding Yingchun's hand.
Because he was well rested, Mu Ci's face was rosy and full of energy. How could he still be as pale as yesterday?
Yun Xi saw this in her eyes and secretly hated her in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face: "I respectfully invite the Queen Mother Jin An!"
Others followed suit and paid their respects to Mu Ci one after another.
"I don't see anyone coming to say hello on weekdays. What happened today?" Mu Ci asked knowingly.
"The emperor has issued an order. From now on, the Queen Mother will take over the harem. The sisters obey the imperial decree and come here to pay their respects to the Queen Mother." Yun Xi answered on his behalf.
She was originally in charge of the affairs of the harem, but now that power has been taken away by Mu Ci. Not only can she not offend this woman, but she also has to curry favor with Mu Ci. This is what makes her most frustrated.
It was already midnight when Mu Ci left Yanfu Palace yesterday. She stayed in Yanfu Palace for such a long time. If she wanted to flatter the emperor, and the emperor had to obey Mu Ciyan, I was afraid that Mu Ci would already be the emperor's guest.
.
Now there is only one reason left for Mu Ci to become one of the three thousand in the emperor's harem.
Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but get anxious, because no one was Mu Ci's opponent at the moment. She didn't know if Xiang Cairen, who was favored by the emperor, was capable of defeating Mu Ci.
