Mu Ci looked at the two girls, then at Dugu Liancheng, and found that they were not joking.
Although this situation was a bit strange, it made her feel warm, which showed that they cared about her personal safety.
Dugu Liancheng called Biyu to him again and warned her carefully: "Keep an eye on me. If anything goes wrong, find a way to report it to me immediately."
He has made an appointment with Gu Zhiqing tomorrow to leave the palace. The plum blossom viewing party happens to be on this day. Is it just a coincidence?
When Yingchun and Sizhu saw this scene, they felt a little relieved. With Biyu here, they should be able to share some dangers for the empress, right?
The harem today is no better than it was two years ago, and it is always better to be prepared. No matter how smart and capable the empress is, they, the slaves, would not dare to put the empress in danger.
As the next day approached, Mu Ci was already dressed and dressed.
Accompanied by Sizhu Yingchun, the three of them soon arrived at the plum grove in the Imperial Garden.
There is another good place to enjoy plum blossoms in the palace, which is the Plum Blossom Pavilion, but it is Dugu Lianyun's private place.
Although the plum grove in the Plum Blossom Pavilion is slightly better than that in the Imperial Garden, no one dares to go to the Plum Blossom Pavilion to enjoy the flowers, so they can only settle for the next best thing. The plum blossom appreciation meeting is held in the plum grove in the Imperial Garden.
The heavy snow fell all night last night and stopped this morning.
Nowadays, the cold snow is heavy on the branches, and the white snow is crystal clear, making the red plums even more unique and beautiful.
The plum blossoms are gradually blooming, some are just skeletal flowers, and some are in full bloom. There is no need to elaborate on the beauty and splendor of each.
The invited concubines had arrived one after another. When Mu Ci arrived, everyone stared intently.
Today Mu Ci wore a lotus silk sepa quilt and an emerald smoked Qiyun skirt.
Compared to all the beautiful and fragrant figures on the scene, she is not outstanding in terms of clothing. Moreover, she walks like the wind, which makes her movements a bit vulgar. Especially the eye-catching black mole on her face, which visually dominates the scene and makes it difficult to stand out.
Let people study her facial features carefully.
All the concubines present were very reserved. When they first saw such a beauty admirer who was not outstanding in etiquette and manners, the corners of their mouths turned down slightly, and they knew that most of them looked down upon this beauty admirer.
Mu Meiren was lucky enough to have a face similar to that of the Queen Mother, so that she could retain the emperor's people.
As everyone knows, Mu Ci wants this kind of effect.
It's all because Dugu Liancheng always stays overnight in Yong'an Palace, and her unique favor is the root of murderous intentions. Only by letting these people understand that she is not their opponent can some of the pressure on her shoulders be relieved.
Mu Ci didn't seem to notice the strange looks everyone was paying to her. She stopped at the place with the most beauties and said in a fuss, "The plum blossoms in the palace are so beautiful."
Almost at the same time, everyone showed disdain and ridiculed smiles. Although it was not obvious, you could see it if you were careful, but Mu Ci seemed to be blind and started chatting with others.
It's a pity that no one was willing to talk to her, so it was a bit awkward for a while.
In the end, it was Tao Meiren who went to Mu Ci and said, "Sister, what you said makes sense. I also think the plum blossoms here are blooming just right. They are far better than any plum blossom scene I have seen before."
She smiled without any pretense, and her big round eyes were crystal clear, and she looked at Mu Ci curiously.
Mu Ci had met Tao Meiren once before. At that time, she was still serving Liu Jieyu and she was just a palace maid. Now she and Tao Meiren are on an equal footing. Things in the world are really unpredictable.
Before she had time to answer, Liu Jieyu also interrupted at the right time: "My sister came late, so I have to punish myself with a drink."
As Liu Jieyu said, she handed over a glass of fragrant wine.
Yingchun and Sizhu stared at the wine glasses at the same time, fearing that Mu Ci would actually drink this glass of wine.
As expected, whatever he was afraid of came to him. The next moment, Mu Ci took the wine glass, put it to his nose and smelled: "What kind of wine is this? It smells good."
"Today is the plum appreciation party, so naturally this is plum blossom wine." Liu Jieyu explained to Mu Ci.
Just when Yingchun was thinking about knocking over the wine glass in Mu Ci's hand, Tao Meiren suddenly took action and snatched the wine glass from Mu Ci's hand. She looked innocent and said: "Then I have to try it first, sister.
You shouldn’t mind, right?”
Then, she drank it all in one gulp, nodding as she drank: "Good wine, but not strong enough!"
Mu Ci was speechless for a moment.
Tao Meiren is a delicate little beauty, but she has such a good drinking capacity. Furthermore, is Tao Meiren helping her out?
"I'm sorry, I'm a slanderer. I drank my sister's wine without asking my sister what she meant. Isn't my sister going to blame her?" Tao Meiren finished the wine and said to Mu Ci with an apologetic expression.
road.
Mu Ci bloomed with a smile: "I happen to be too drunk, you did me a favor and saved me from getting drunk and making a fool of myself."
She was still not used to calling these strangers sisters. Tao Meiren was helping her out in this battle, and she looked innocent and harmless. Who knew if there was some evil intention behind her back?
One thing she always remembers is that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of being on guard against others.
She was born in the wind and blood, so how could she not understand this?
Liu Jieyu looked worried when she saw this scene.
When Mu Ci was a favorite, she deliberately made friends with Mu Ci, hoping to get some of Mu Ci's glory. It was also because of her that Mu Ci was what he is today, so there was no reason for Mu Ci to forget her kindness.
By chance, Tao Meiren stepped in at this moment and looked like she was trying to save Mu Ci. People who didn't know better thought she had added something shady to Mu Ci's glass of wine.
Mu Ci didn't seem to be a very smart woman, so she was afraid that Mu Ci would think there was something wrong with the glass of wine she handed her.
So Liu Jieyu couldn't put on a smile when she saw Tao Meiren.
At this time, Tao Meiren was already chatting animatedly with Mu Ci. Seeing this scene, some people wondered whether Tao Meiren was really innocent or had scheming intentions.
You must know that it has been a year since Tao Meiren entered the palace. There has never been a time to compete for favors. Even when the emperor is in front of her, Tao Meiren always stands in an inconspicuous corner.
Many people have tried Taomeiren and found that Taomeiren is indeed simple-minded.
At today's plum appreciation party, everyone had the same idea, and they all wanted to deliberately silence Mu Ci and kill Mu Ci's spirit. But at this time, the simple Tao Meiren stood up again, but she seemed to be making friends with Mu Ci.
Mu Ci is also stupid. Tao Meiren just grabbed a glass of her wine and talked and laughed with Tao Meiren, as if she wanted to rip her heart out.
Deep down in their hearts, everyone looked down on Mu Ci, but they did not dare to offend Mu Ci, so they could only keep all their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Everyone felt that Mu Ci was nothing more than an idiot beauty and a substitute for the Queen Mother.
Just think about which of the concubines in the harem is not beautiful? A country bumpkin like Mu Ci has no place at all. Looking at Mu Ci's lavish appearance, it really makes people unhappy.
