When Li Yu saw this, he was at a loss and simply ignored it.
All that was left in Dugu Liancheng's mind was the news of Mu Ci's upcoming birthday. He was also confused by the woman Mu Ci, and almost forgot about this important event.
This year is the big day when Mu Ci turns 20. In recent years, she has not had the chance to celebrate her birthday. This year she finally returned to him, so it should be a big deal.
It's just that her identity is no longer the Queen Mother, and it seems inappropriate to hold a grand birthday party for her. Now she is still banned in Yong'an Palace...
The next day, many concubines in the harem heard that Mrs. Rongguo had entered the palace to visit her adopted goddaughter, Mu Ci.
After hearing that Mu Ci was banned, Mrs. Rong Guo was very sad and fainted for a while.
Later, in order to appease Mrs. Rongguo, the emperor had no choice but to exempt Mu Ci from being grounded.
Then, Mrs. Rong Guo entered Yong'an Palace and met Mu Ci.
Naturally, others cannot see the details, but the Yong'an Palace is full of joy.
Mrs. Rongguo entered the palace on orders. Before that, Biyu had told Mrs. Rongguo some old things. In fact, Mrs. Rongguo had also heard something about the past between Mu Ci and Jin Shang from Mu Tong.
Shi Muci had already moved into Chenxiang Palace.
At her age, she has experienced the divorce incident and has seen through many things.
As long as her daughter is alive, she can accept anything as a mother.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while before their excitement calmed down.
"You are now the emperor's concubine. Live a good life from now on and don't contradict the emperor any more. My daughter, my mother has no other wish. I just want you to be safe." Mrs. Rong Guo held Mu Ci's hand and said sincerely.
.
In fact, it was the emperor who instructed her to say this, and of course, it was also her own idea.
My daughter committed regicide two and a half years ago, which led to the disaster in Chenxiang Palace. Now that the dust has settled, there is only one way to go, and that is to stabilize in the harem and be the emperor's concubine.
lay down.
"Mom, my daughter knows. By the way, has Yao'er ever come home?" Mu Ci mentioned this important matter.
Dugu Liancheng claimed that he sent many people to search for Mu Yao but to no avail. Xiaoyao Villa even claimed that Mu Yao had left five years ago and never returned to Xiaoyao Villa since then.
Five years ago, wasn't it the day when she entered the palace?
In other words, Mu Yao left Xiaoyao Villa five years ago, but Mu Yao never came to see her, let alone returned to Mu Mansion. Even when her mother and Li were relegated to the cold palace, she did not see Mu Yao.
Yao appears.
So where did Mu Yao go in the past five years? What happened to her and who could prevent her from showing up?
However, Mu Yao appeared in the palace a year ago, and Mu Yao's original intention of entering the palace was to save her from the cold palace, which shows that Mu Yao's actions are free.
This seems even more weird.
"No. That girl went to Xiaoyao Villa and disappeared. I don't know if she is okay in Xiaoyao Villa. She is almost eighteen this year. What is the big deal for such a big girl to spend all day in Xiaoyao Villa?" Mrs. Rong Guo mentioned.
Mu Yao began to chatter endlessly.
Mu Ci's eyes flashed slightly.
How is this possible? Mu Yao went to the palace to find her, but did not go to see his mother? This is unreasonable.
It turns out that my mother still thought that Mu Yao was still studying at Xiaoyao Villa.
In order to avoid worrying her mother, it is better to hide Mu Yao's strange behavior from her mother.
"She has always had ideas. Maybe something has delayed her. Let's not talk about that girl. How has mother been in the past two years?" Mu Ci quietly changed the subject.
She still couldn't understand why Mu Yao came to the palace to find her but not her mother.
The mother's news is so closed, she doesn't know that Yao'er has entered the palace?
Mrs. Rongguo did not doubt that she had it, and talked about some trivial things in the past two years. Later, she also talked about Mu Ci’s birthday. Mrs. Rongguo wanted to celebrate Mu Ci’s birthday, because after Mu Ci married into the harem,
As a mother, she had no chance to celebrate Mu Ci's birthday.
"Mom, please celebrate your daughter's birthday this year." Mu Ci felt that this was not a big deal.
"Is this... feasible?" Mrs. Rong Guo was a little unsure.
You must know that a married daughter throws away water, and the daughter's status is not high enough now.
"If there's anything that's not possible, just ask the emperor's daughter." Mu Ci took Mrs. Rongguo's arm and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have a daughter for everything. Mother will stay in Yong'an Palace for a few more days to accompany her.
"
Mrs. Rong Guo couldn't bear to refuse Mu Ci and agreed wholeheartedly.
The few days that Mrs. Rongguo stayed in Yong'an Palace were the happiest and most carefree days since Mu Ci entered the palace.
Only occasionally there is a hidden worry, that is about Mu Yao.
People like Mu Ci have stayed in the harem for a long time, and have experienced the changes of the harem for two generations, so they tend to think in complexity about everything.
According to normal logic, Mu Yao left Xiaoyao Villa five years ago and went to the palace a year ago, both of which are mysterious.
But she couldn't find Mu Yao, and she couldn't ask about what happened to Mu Yao in the past few years.
On the day when Mrs. Rong Guo was sent out of the palace, Mu Ci was reluctant to leave. She didn't want people to remember her mother, let alone her mother being implicated because of her.
In the harem, her weak spots are the girls who are close to her; outside the palace, her concern is Mrs. Rongguo.
Mrs. Rongguo's stay in Yong'an Palace these days is tantamount to telling the entire harem that Mrs. Rongguo is one of her weaknesses.
Knowing this, she still acted willfully and left her mother behind.
From now on, she must take her mother's safety into consideration.
After seeing off Mrs. Rong Guo, Mu Ci returned to Yong'an Palace, but met An Rong on the way.
Mu Ci felt that this could not be a coincidence.
"Come for a walk with me." An Rong didn't shy away and explained her purpose.
She knew that Mu Ci had left Yong'an Palace and that this was an opportunity to meet Mu Ci, so she waited here.
Mu Ci was in a good mood, and she smiled calmly: "It's disrespectful."
Next, An Rong and Mu Ci walked side by side in front, followed by the palace servants and chamberlains from the two palaces.
Because it was morning, it was not too hot. Just walking around made me sweat, and the breeze could dissipate the heat.
"I have been thinking about whether you could have contributed to the incident of my tire slip." An Rong slowed down and turned to look at Mu Ci.
There was no sweat on Mu Ci's face, and she was as fresh as the morning dew. How could such a woman not make people jealous?
If she were the emperor, she would be smitten by Mu Ci, right?
"I'm more interested in you. As for the child in your belly, I have no interest in wasting time on it." Mu Ci smiled lightly and raised her lips.
An Rong was dissatisfied with Mu Ci's wording, but she didn't dwell on such matters.
"It's really not you?" An Rong looked Mu Ci up and down.
Mu Ci looked back calmly: "It seems you haven't found out the real culprit. If you can reach into Jingyang Palace, that person is quite capable."
