Because the weather was too hot and Mu Ci couldn't bear it, Sizhu brought a large plate of ice and fanned her with ice cubes, which made her feel cool for a while.
Guard Zhao saw Sizhu being so considerate and carefree, and the more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her.
This time, no matter how slow Sizhu was, she still felt the eager look in Guard Zhao's eyes. She was a little embarrassed and avoided Guard Zhao's gaze.
Mu Ci felt that she was an eyesore. Because of the comfort, she quickly fell asleep. Because of her identity, she couldn't be too rude, so she could only lean on Jirou and take a nap.
The afternoon passed quickly, and Dugu Liancheng still hadn't sent an order to see Mu Ci.
Mu Ci waited outside Yanfu Palace until night, but still could not see Dulian City.
When it was time to go to bed, she had no choice but to go back to Yong'an Palace and decided to wait outside Yanfu Palace early the next morning and wait.
Before dawn the next day, Mu Ci had already arrived at Yanfu Palace. When she saw the imperial driver's team appearing, she immediately stepped forward to stop him: "I have something to tell you, give me some time."
Dugu Liancheng turned a blind eye to her, and ordered without squinting: "Get off!"
"It won't take long. If you hide something in your heart and don't say anything, it will never solve the problem. I also have something to say to you, but you have to give me a chance..."
Mu Ci was unwilling to give in and chased after him, but before she could finish her words, she was stopped by the imperial team.
She could only watch the imperial team go away and disappear into the spacious and clear palace passage, feeling a little depressed for a moment.
Her journey has been so smooth, and she has never hit the iron plate before. This is the first time.
Dugu Liancheng didn't want to see her or talk to her. His indifference was obvious. She had touched his bottom line.
If it hadn't been for her hesitation, today's impasse would not have been caused.
After Mu Ci returned to Yong'an Palace, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't be discouraged, she had to find a way to restore the situation.
If he doesn't want to see her one day, then she will stay outside Yanfu Palace until the day he wants to talk to her.
From that day on, Mu Ci went outside Yanfu Palace every day to ask for a face-to-face meeting. However, Dugu Liancheng was so hard-hearted that he never looked at her face to face even when he passed by her.
As half a month passed, Dugu Liancheng still turned a blind eye to her.
At this time, rumors in the harem went crazy, claiming that Mu Ci had been completely abandoned by Dugu Liancheng, otherwise Dugu Liancheng would not have ignored Mu Ci like this.
An Rong, who was in Jingyang Palace and "thought behind closed doors" when she heard the news, couldn't help but sneer: "She has this day too?!"
It was time for Mu Ci to taste the feeling of being ignored by the emperor.
Mu Ci has always been the one to monopolize the dragon pet. This is a feeling that all the other concubines in the harem have experienced. Today it is finally Mu Ci's turn. This is retribution.
Kikyo was still the same as before, not good at words. She did not answer. The newly appointed eldest palace maid Zhili echoed: "Concubine Chen is now in peace. Can the empress take action?"
Without the emperor's favor, Mu Ci would be nothing more than an ordinary concubine. If we don't deal with Mu Ci now, then when will we wait?
Platycodon looked at Zhili and found that Zhili had the same temperament as Zhitao, both very aggressive.
"Do you think Mu Ci is easy to deal with? She is indeed not as favored as before, but do you think the emperor will turn to me? If you don't take action without full confidence, you will still be turned against by Mu Ci just like before.
Plan!" An Rong smiled coldly.
Who in the harem knows about Mu Ci's ruthless tactics?
How many losses had she suffered at the hands of Mu Ci? If the emperor hadn't suddenly issued a verbal order last time, she wouldn't have been able to escape that disaster.
This woman Mu Ci is simply her old enemy. Since Mu Ci came back, she has been too useless as a noble concubine and has become the laughing stock of the entire harem. Especially last time in Yong'an Palace, Mu Ci tortured her in front of everyone.
Her most embarrassing appearance was visible to others, so much so that she had not left Jingyang Palace for fear of seeing strange looks from other concubines.
"Your Majesty taught me that my slaves think too simplistically." Zhili admitted her mistake promptly: "But Your Majesty cannot always stay in Jingyang Palace without leaving home. Now is the time when Concubine Chen is most decadent..."
"Zhili, the empress has her own decision when to leave Jingyang Palace. We slaves only follow the master's will, but there is no need to force the master to make a decision." Platycodon answered in time.
Zhili glared at Kikyo, feeling that Kikyo took her too seriously.
Or maybe Kikyo thought that as soon as Tao died, he would become the most trusted palace servant around the empress, which he didn't know.
"What Platycodon said makes sense. Zhili, you are too eager to advance. We need to learn from Platycodon in many aspects. The best thing about Platycodon is that it is steady." An Rong said softly.
"Your Majesty has taught me a lesson. From now on, this slave will learn more from Sister Kikyo and live up to My Majesty's expectations." Zhili was dissatisfied with Kikyo in her heart, but she still maintained her respect for Kikyo on the surface.
Kikyo naturally saw through this, and she didn't bother to expose it. After all, she couldn't learn from Zhitao's way of flattering the imperial concubine.
Later, Zhili encouraged An Rong from time to time, and An Rong finally left Jingyang Palace that day.
She went to the Royal Garden and met Qi Luo by chance.
As soon as Qi Luo saw An Rong, he immediately came up to her with a smile.
Recently, two concubines have become close to Qi Luo. One is Guo Cairen and the other is Zheng Jieyu. Both of them are attached to Qi Luo.
Among all the concubines, only Qi Luo has ambitions and a limitless future. As for Concubine An, she has fallen behind.
That day Concubine An was humiliated in Yong'an Palace. All the concubines saw that scene. How can a concubine who was humiliated in public become the mother of a country?
At that time, they felt that Concubine An had lost her power, and no matter how scheming she was, she would not be liked by the emperor. Such a person was not as promising as Concubine Ming.
"Is the imperial concubine sister okay? I haven't seen my sister since the battle at Yong'an Palace. I'm afraid that she will do something stupid if she doesn't think about it." Qi Luo deliberately used this matter to irritate An Rong.
After An Rong became the imperial concubine, she often made a show of things in front of her. Now that she had the opportunity to return to the city and ridicule An Rong, she was happy to seize this opportunity.
"Yes, the imperial concubine was tortured in Yong'an Palace that day, which made me very worried." Guo Cairen echoed Qi Luo's words.
Zheng Jieyu did not fall behind others, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine is an open-minded person, how can she care about those trivial things? It's good that it's over. Now the life of the imperial concubine Chen is not easy, there is no need for the imperial concubine to hide in Jingyang
palace--"
"You are so unbridled, don't talk nonsense in front of the imperial concubine!" Protector Zhili was eager to see them getting more and more outrageous, so he scolded them.
"Master is talking, when will it be your slave's turn to interrupt? You can do it yourself!" Qi Luo glanced at Zhili coldly.
She wanted to establish her authority in front of An Rong today to see if An Rong would dare to act like a noble concubine in front of her in the future.
Zhili was scolded by Qi Luo and subconsciously looked at An Rong.
