After much thought, Mu Ci felt that An Rong's pregnancy was most likely the work of Dugu Liancheng.
An Rong was also very able to keep her composure and did not make any noise after going to bed.
Furthermore, the timing of today’s announcement of your happiness is also very lucky.
Originally, the Queen Mother died and she appeared in the harem. Today was her proudest day. With An Rong's interference, the whole world knew that Concubine An was pregnant, which was a major event for the entire harem.
Everyone is paying attention to Concubine An. Who still remembers that she, a beauty admirer, has returned to the harem?
In terms of scheming, An Rong is unique in this harem. Most people cannot compare to her, otherwise she would not have risen to power so quickly.
"It's true that the emperor dotes on the concubine so much on weekdays, but he favors the concubine behind her back. Doesn't this make the empress sad?" Ningxiang became angry when she mentioned this.
Okay, now the entire harem is watching the empress's joke, and the first servant is the emperor who usually responds to the empress's requests.
Sure enough, a man's words cannot be trusted, and the emperor's words are even less trustworthy.
"Say less." Yingchun pinched Ningxiang hard, hoping she would shut up.
Mu Ci himself didn't care much.
She heard Mu Yu talk about not wanting to get married a few days ago, and she was quite touched at the time. In Daxia, men were always superior to women, and men could have three wives and four concubines, let alone an emperor like Dugu Liancheng?
She had fought over this in her previous life, and had quarreled with Dugu Liancheng more than once, all because she cared too much about Dugu Liancheng.
In this life, she has given up on love, so naturally she doesn't care who Dugu Liancheng favors and who she impregnates.
Although she has entered the drama, she always remains sober and understands that it is unrealistic to fall in love in the royal family.
What she cares about most now is that if An Rong becomes pregnant with an imperial heir, and this imperial heir is a descendant of Dugu Liancheng, and if she is born as a little prince, it will be even more difficult for her to defeat An Rong.
She is now passive.
"Ningxiang has always been like this. Don't take your Majesty seriously. Your Majesty still cares most about your Majesty, and only your Majesty." Sizhu also comforted her.
Mu Ci smiled and said nothing.
Yingchun saw this and murmured in a low voice: "It is important whether the emperor is the only one who favors the empress, but the empress does not necessarily have to be the emperor's exclusive favor."
Isn’t it nice for the empress to be alone? If the emperor doesn’t come, the empress may not think about it. But when the emperor comes, the empress will serve her wholeheartedly. This is the empress’ daily life in the harem.
But sometimes she felt that the empress didn't need to rely on a man's appearance to live her life. She should have a broader world.
No one expected such remarks during the Spring Festival, even Mu Ci was a little surprised.
This girl's thoughts turned out to be closest to her heart.
The news about An Rong's pregnancy spread in the harem, and then some people went to Yanfu Palace to deliver the good news.
After Dugu Liancheng received the news, he asked the chamberlain who brought the news to leave, and did not say that he would go to Jingyang Palace to visit An Rong.
After reviewing the excerpts, Li Yucai said: "Should the emperor go to visit the imperial concubine first, or go to Yong'an Palace first?"
At this time, Mu Ci probably felt uncomfortable, right?
Dugu Liancheng didn't seem to hear Li Yu's words. He just sat on the dragon chair and asked Li Yu after a while: "Do you think Mu Ci will care about An Rong's happiness?"
Li Yu was curious as to why Long Live Lord would ask such a question. He lowered his head and replied: "Of course I care."
"Is this caring because An Rong has someone to rely on, or because of me?" Dugu Liancheng asked again.
"Of course it's the latter!" Li Yu replied without hesitation.
Although Mu Ci does not show his emotions openly, after following the emperor for such a long time, even if Mu Ci is hard-hearted, he will definitely care about it, right?
Dugu Liancheng didn't seem very happy when he heard Li Yu's answer: "You are wrong, she cares about the former."
Mu Ci never cared about him.
Li Yu wanted to say no, but seeing Lord Long Live's expression, he had no choice but to remain silent.
Finally, Dugu Liancheng showed off to Jingyang Palace and gave many rewards to Jingyang Palace. For a time, the entire Jingyang Palace was filled with joy.
There was also an endless stream of people going to Jingyang Palace to express their congratulations, and they almost didn't cross the threshold of Jingyang Palace.
Compared with the bustle of Jingyang Palace, Yongan Palace is much deserted.
There are not many people in Yong'an Palace, and there is such a big happy event in Jingyang Palace. In comparison, Yong'an Palace seems a bit solemn.
Mu Ci did whatever he had to do.
Although An Rong's pregnancy is a big deal for her, it can't shock her. She is someone who has climbed out of the lowest point, so when An Rong is pregnant, she only accepts the reality after the initial surprise.
.
After having lunch, she took a lunch break as usual, fell on the couch and fell asleep.
It was a very peaceful sleep that lasted for an hour.
When she opened her eyes and found Dugu Liancheng sitting next to her, she was a little surprised: "When did you come?"
It doesn't look like he just arrived.
Dugu Liancheng looked at her rosy complexion and charming appearance, and just sighed softly: "Two quarters of an hour ago. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't bother you."
Mu Ci yawned, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.
A closer look revealed that Dugu Liancheng's expression was as usual. He did not look like a father, and there was no joy at all.
After all, it was An Rong who was pregnant, the imperial concubine he valued more. For someone like the imperial concubine to conceive an imperial heir for him, and most likely a prince, he should be very happy whether as an emperor or a father.
She was distracted when she heard Dugu Liancheng ask her: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Mu Ci didn't know his intention in asking this question, and she didn't know what to ask.
Did he want her to congratulate him on the birth of an heir?
She thought about it and felt that this possibility was unlikely. In the end, she wisely did not ask anything, but changed the subject: "Do you want to have dinner at Yong'an Palace? I can have someone prepare it in advance."
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci with complicated eyes. She really still didn't understand what he was minding.
Logically speaking, it would be okay for him to have more sensible women like her in his harem. This would save a lot of trouble, but he didn't like that this sensible person was her.
In the final analysis, it was because she didn't care about him that she never cared about these things.
"No." Dugu Liancheng stood up and walked away without looking back.
Mu Ci looked at his back, her mind gradually opened up, and she suddenly understood what he was caring about. Logically speaking, if a concubine in his harem was pregnant, she should be the one who cared about it.
Now that he is unhappy, what does this mean?
She jumped off the bed, quickly caught up with Dugu Liancheng, held his hand and said, "Let's have dinner here today, I'll cook it myself. Although the food I cook may not be to your liking, it's rare for me to be diligent.
