Chapter 736: Fighting to be the stepmother of the little prince
"Actually, there is another reason. When I married into the palace, Yao'er was not in the capital and could not attend my wedding. For my brother's wedding this time, I hope Yao'er can come to watch the ceremony." Mu Ci added.
Mu Tong frowned when he heard this: "I don't know what Yao'er is thinking. She hasn't returned to the capital for so many years. Does she have family members like us? She has been like this since she was a child. She is used to being wild."
"Brother, have you ever looked for Yao'er?" Mu Ci asked.
"Of course I have looked for her, but I haven't been able to see Yao'er every time. My mother does receive letters from Yao'er every few months."
Mu Tong's words made Mu Ci fall silent.
In other words, someone deliberately concealed the news that Mu Yao had left Xiaoyao Villa. Who was that person?
Dugu Liancheng did not tell his brother that Mu Yao had gone to the palace to look for her. Until now, his brother thought Mu Yao was still at Xiaoyao Villa.
"Then my brother's marriage has been decided. This time, Yao'er must attend my brother's wedding no matter what." Mu Ci said and looked at Lou Lan: "What does Miss Lou think?"
Lou Lan smiled and said, "The daughter of the common people listens to Concubine Chen's arrangements."
Mu Ci saw that her smile was a little forced, and the doubts in her heart gradually deepened.
Since Lou Lan doesn't like his brother that much, why should he rush to marry him? Is it because his brother became a general and Lou Lan married him because he took a fancy to his power?
It seemed that she still had to find a chance to talk to her brother alone.
That night, Dugu Liancheng was tortured by Xiao Yu'er so much that he couldn't sleep because the little guy was hungry and couldn't sleep, so he kept crying.
In the end, he had no choice but to order Li Yu to send Xiao Yu'er to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci was waiting anxiously, but when she saw Li Yu coming, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The child had cried miserably for a long time, and immediately stopped crying as soon as he reached Mu Ci's arms.
Upon seeing this, Li Yu returned to Yanfu Palace to report back to the emperor.
Dugu Liancheng could only sigh: "That's it, let her take care of her at night. Then leave it to me to take care of her during the day. She can't have Yu'er all to herself."
Li Yu thought, does it make any difference?
The Emperor and the Empress are the father and mother of His Highness, who takes care of them is not the same thing?
After attending the morning court the next day, Mu Tong was stopped by Sizhu, who asked Mu Ci to invite him.
Mu Ci poured a cup of tea for Mu Tong and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "How did brother and Miss Lou meet? Does brother like Miss Lou very much?"
Mu Tong didn't expect that Mu Ci would ask about Lou Lan, and he said nonchalantly: "I met her by chance. I saw that she could go into battle to kill enemies and had a cheerful personality, so I noticed her. She is a very good girl and can endure hardships."
Hardworking..."
Speaking of Lou Lan, Mu Tong talked a lot.
Mu Ci listened carefully.
If her brother had never been in love with Lou Lan, it would be fine, but he was just moved. How could she tell her brother that Lou Lan had no feelings for a man or a woman?
She was afraid that Lou Lan would approach her brother for other purposes.
"If one day my brother finds out that Miss Lou doesn't like him, will he still insist on marrying Miss Lou?" Mu Ci asked again.
Mu Tong's face changed slightly: "No way!"
"I'm just saying that if, if my brother gets it wrong-"
"The marriage between her and I was decided upon through discussion. If she didn't like me, how could she be willing to marry me?" Mu Tong interrupted Mu Ci.
Mu Ci didn't know what to say for a moment.
My brother has always been someone who can't hide his thoughts. If she said something, he would go to Lou Lan to ask what happened. If Lou Lan really approached his brother with a purpose, how could he admit it easily?
"I'm just saying casually, brother, don't be nervous." Mu Ci smiled: "I only have one brother, so I am naturally the most nervous about my brother's marriage. I have to consider everything carefully."
Mu Tong did not doubt that he had it, and chatted with Mu Ci for a while before leaving the palace.
As soon as Mu Tong left, Mu Ci called Feng Jiu over, "I want you to find out the details of a person. You don't want to be the fastest, but you must find out the origin of that person..."
After Mu Ci explained it in this way, Feng Jiu accepted the order and left.
The person she asked Feng Jiu to check was Lou Lan.
No matter how big a fuss she made, she still felt that if her brother really wanted to get married, he must get to the bottom of it and check it out before getting married, so as to have peace of mind.
As for Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng, neither one is willing to give in.
No matter how busy Dugu Liancheng is with political affairs during the day, he will personally take care of the young prince. Even if he goes to court, Biyu will hold him beside him and not be too far away from him.
As for reviewing memorials, he also held the child in his arms while reviewing, so that he could take care of the child and do political work at the same time.
Sometimes when Li Yu saw such a warm scene, he couldn't help but sigh that Long live the Lord had changed so much. It would have been better if Mu Ci had not had any trouble with the emperor.
But Mu Ci was dissatisfied that the emperor had taken away the young prince, and he is still unwilling to talk to the emperor.
The cold war between Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng soon spread to the entire harem. Many people wanted to take advantage of the situation and go to Yanfu Palace to show their favor and compete to become the little prince's stepmother, but they were unable to do so.
Return with success.
Of course, Qi Luo did not miss this opportunity and often visited Yanfu Palace.
In the beginning, people could still enter Yanfu Palace and walk around, but later Dugu Liancheng no longer allowed people to enter Yanfu Palace easily. For a while, everyone was at a loss as they could not think of a better way to get closer, so naturally there was no way to win the favor.
On the other side, with the efforts of Shen Manyun and Princess Yongfu, results were finally achieved.
After being imprisoned in the cold palace for nine months, An Rong finally got out of the cold palace. It was already the end of May, and Mu Ci's birthday was soon approaching.
The moment she walked out of the Beigong Gate, An Rong held Shen Manyun's hand: "Thanks to my sister, I was able to get out of the cold palace. Then it was Mu Ci's birthday. I still remember the birthday she gave me last year.
Such a great gift, now I should also give her a great birthday gift in return."
Shen Manyun heard the hidden meaning in An Rong's words, "What method has my sister thought of to deal with Mu Ci? Although the emperor and Mu Ci have not spoken for some days, Mu Ci's influence is still there. She is now Concubine Chen, and she is no better than you.
This noble concubine has a low status. The emperor is cold to her, but still can't let her go. You must not act recklessly."
"Don't worry, sister, I must have a perfect plan before I dare to take action. I have suffered a lot in the past, but this time, I will make her suffer forever!" An Rong's eyes were soft, and there was no cruelty on her face when she said this.
color.
Shen Manyun felt that An Rong in front of her seemed to have returned to the beautiful An who seemed to have no desires or desires.
An Rong like this makes people worry.
"Let her suffer for the rest of her life?" Shen Manyun repeated An Rong's words: "The best way to make her suffer is to take away the thing she cares about most, right?"
It is impossible for An Rong to take away the dragon pet that belongs to Mu Ci, but this woman can think of a vicious trick to take away the child that Mu Ci cares about most.
Presumably An Rong must have been thinking of vicious ways to deal with Mu Ci during the more than half a year she was locked up in the cold palace.
