An Rong believed that the most urgent thing to guard against was not Mu Ci. Just because Mu Ci had a low status now and had no achievements in the harem, no matter how confused the emperor was, he could not help Mu Ci ascend to the throne.
This time, the news that she and the emperor had a romantic relationship in the Duke's Mansion came out, which actually gave others an advantage.
Now she feels that Concubine He Xian has the best chance of winning. Fortunately, the He family has declined since Concubine He Shu, who was favored during the Qingyuan period, passed away. Now Concubine He Xian does not have strong family support behind her, even if Concubine He Xian is in the hands of Concubine He With the eldest prince's card in hand, Concubine He Xian has no chance of winning.
Speaking of which, she has never regarded Concubine He Xian as her opponent.
As for Li Waner, she was not a threat. Although she didn't know why the emperor would appoint Li Waner as his concubine, Li Waner looked too much like Mallow. If the emperor wanted to establish a queen, it would definitely not be Li Waner.
And Shen Manyun is hers. Under her control, she can of course exclude Shen Manyun at the first opportunity.
The last two people left were Xiang Ling and Qi Luo.
Xiang Ling seems to be tepid at first sight, but he has never stopped being a dragon favorite these years. Even Mu Ci would be ignored by the emperor every now and then, but Xiang Ling was just the opposite. No matter what year or month it was, Xiang Ling would always be ignored. Mr. Ling spent a few days in bed with him. The emperor would not neglect anyone he ignored.
No one even regards Xiang Ling as a rival. She is enough to please the emperor without fighting for her. This person is also a strong contender for the throne.
The last person is Qi Luo.
And she felt that Zillo was the most threatening opponent among them all.
Just because Qiluo has beauty, means, and ambition.
This time she suddenly had a miscarriage, and her first suspect was Qi Luo. When she was just pregnant, Qi Luo was running around the harem, and even went to Yong'an Palace, trying to arouse Mu Ci's hatred for her. Let Mu Ci deal with her.
How could someone as restless as Qi Luo not covet the position in the middle palace?
Zillo will not let go of any chance to defeat her.
While An Rong was analyzing the situation in the harem while making her choice, Qi Luo suddenly came to Jingyang Palace in a charming manner.
Today she was wearing a pink chest-length skirt, which made her skin look as white as snow, bright and charming. Her arrival brought spring to the room.
After seeing the gift, Qi Luo showed a bright smile and said: "My sister, the imperial concubine, looks really good today. My sister is so jealous after seeing her."
"My sister can't take her eyes away because of her good looks. If the emperor sees her, I don't know how happy he will be." An Rong was a tactful person and replied to her with a nice word.
But there is an organic edge in this sentence.
So what if Qi Luo is beautiful? The emperor has not ordered Qi Luo to sleep with him for an unknown amount of time.
Although Liu Chongyuan is also charming to all living beings, she is still inferior to Qi Luo, but so what? Liu Chongyuan can please the emperor.
Qi Luo was not stupid, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning of An Rong's words. The smile on her face was a bit unbearable, so she could only lower her head and suppress the sharpness in her eyes.
"That's right. How can my sister compare to my elder sister's dragon pet? It has been a long time since the emperor ordered my sister to serve him in bed, but my sister is different. The whole harem is full of rumors about how happy my sister is to serve the emperor." There was something in her words. Outside, everyone is accusing An Rong of serving the emperor with sex.
Then she straightened her tone and said: "My sister is the most popular person in the harem, but I don't know how bad the rumors about the harem are at the moment. If this continues, the whole world will think that my sister is a charming concubine who seduces the Lord -"
Before she finished speaking, An Rong suddenly put down her tea cup.
For a moment, the atmosphere cooled down.
An Rong looked at Qi Luo and raised her lips with a half-smile: "My sister is already a concubine, so you must act and speak in a certain manner, and don't talk nonsense like a commoner who has never seen the world. I know that my sister is a concubine.
The Qingcheng dance won the emperor's attention, but my sister is no longer the little dancer who serves the emperor with sex, and my harem in the Great Xia Kingdom cannot tolerate such extravagant, charming and strange customs."
When Qi Luo heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Back then, she won the emperor's attention with a dance and became one of the concubines in the harem, but this was not a glorious thing.
When she first entered the palace, many people ridiculed her for how she came to power. After she was promoted to Ming Fei, this incident was gradually forgotten.
She didn't want An Rong to mention this matter again at this time and embarrass her.
"I can make the emperor smile with a dance, that's my ability. My sister won't be envious of this kind of thing." Qi Luo quickly returned to his normal state.
Although the process of her ascending to the throne was not very pretty, it is a fact that she has become the concubine now.
"One day, my younger sister will have to learn from my older sister. Please ask the emperor to take my younger sister back to the Marquis Mansion of Qiyuan for a visit." Qi Luo said sarcastically again.
When An Rong heard Qi Luo mentioning the Qi Yuan Hou Mansion, an undercurrent surged in her heart.
Thanks to Qi Luo's reminder, she had almost forgotten that Qi Yu was on good terms with Prince Ling'an. In addition, Qi Yu himself was highly regarded by the emperor, and Qi Luo also had the support of the Hou family behind him.
When Qi Luo came to power in that way, it was because the Hou Mansion was planning for Qi Luo behind the scenes.
Therefore, Zillo is very successful.
The Qi Yuanhou Mansion must also have a queen, right? The strength of the Qi Mansion is not inferior to that of An Guo Gong Mansion.
The two of them naturally didn't talk much about each other, and Qi Luo no longer asked for trouble, he made an excuse and left.
As soon as Qi Luo left, An Rong gave Zhi Tao an order: "Find someone to keep an eye on Zhong Cuigong. Qi is restless. I don't know what means she will use to deal with me next. I need to be more careful."
."
"Yes, the noble concubine." Zhitao responded and left.
From this day on, everyone in the harem discovered a phenomenon. Whenever Qi Luo and An Rong faced each other, there would be a verbal battle between the two.
What's more, Mu Ci, who used to stay at home, no longer lives a secluded life after hearing that An Rong and the emperor spent a sweet night at Anguo Gong's Mansion, but often appears in front of everyone.
Mu Ci never came to Jingyang Palace to pay his respects to An Rong before, but now he actually has some awareness.
Mu Ci woke up early that morning. She washed her clothes and put on a light and elegant summer dress. The four maids stared at her and praised their master for being as beautiful as an immortal.
"Is it really so beautiful?" Mu Ci asked the maids in a funny tone.
Several palace officials nodded in unison, and Yingchun replied decisively: "It's very beautiful."
The smile on Mu Ci's face deepened: "Then I have to go to Jingyang Palace so that the harem sisters can see how beautiful I am."
The four people had strange expressions when they heard this. If they didn't know their master's temperament, they would have really suspected that his master was too stimulated to run to Jingyang Palace every two days.
He was so low-key before and now he is so high-profile. Could it be because the emperor has not come to see his empress for a long time?
