"You have to know that you are a princess, and you represent the dignity of the Ling'an Palace and the royal family. How can you be in such a good shape after returning to the palace so late?!" Dugu Lianqi couldn't put on a good face when he saw Mu Yu.
"What the prince said is that I will pay attention to my words and deeds next time." Mu Yu's attitude was respectful.
She still has to survive in the palace and can no longer offend Dugu Lianqi easily.
Of course Dugu Lianqi's words made sense, she had indeed forgotten the time.
Seeing that her attitude was acceptable, Dugu Lianqi couldn't find anything wrong with her. Just as he was about to enter the palace, he suddenly asked: "Why did you come back to the palace at this hour?"
On weekdays, she had no other place to go except to the palace. It was impossible for Mu Ci to keep Mu Yu until this hour before letting her go back to the palace.
"Concubine Chen asked me to bring some daily necessities to Mrs. Rongguo. Mrs. Rongguo was enthusiastic and left me to have dinner at Yaju, so I was a little late." Mu Yu did not hide it.
Dugu Lianqi snorted softly as a reply and went straight into the palace.
Mu Yu also entered the palace gate, but she and Dugu Lianqi took different paths. Lingyu Pavilion and Lingrong Pavilion were two completely opposite paths, diverging from each other.
Dugu Lianqi heard the footsteps behind him getting further and further away, and looked back unconsciously.
Mu Yu was seen walking into the night, her figure blending into the dark night and gradually disappearing.
This woman was indeed married into the palace by him, but he still felt that she was no different from when she was in the palace. She was respectful to him on the surface, but in her heart she didn't care about him as her husband.
If something like that hadn't happened on New Year's Eve, Mu Yu wouldn't have been able to marry into the palace, right?
No matter how she got married, she would eventually become the beauty of his house like other women. How could he not get the woman he wanted?
He gathered his thoughts and went to Lingrong Pavilion.
Seeing him coming, Rong'er stepped forward to serve him. She smelled the smell of wine from a distance. She asked coquettishly, "Your Majesty, are you drinking with Mr. Qi again?"
"Yeah." Dugu Lianqi replied absently.
Rong'er is a charming and charming woman, and she is also a considerate and thoughtful woman. Ever since Rong'er entered the palace, he felt that he was as happy as a god every day.
Not only Rong'er's thoughtfulness, but also her knowing knowledge, coupled with her stunning appearance and temperament, she is not an exaggeration to be a princess.
He once wanted to mention to Rong'er that she should be a concubine, but Rong'er said that since they were all concubines, it didn't make any difference whether they were concubines or not.
To this, he could only answer with silence.
Mu Yu is not another woman. She will not give way to any other woman. Now that Mu Yu has become the princess, other women can only be concubines. Therefore, no matter how much he dotes on Rong Er, he cannot straighten her out.
After that battle, they never discussed this topic again.
"I heard that the prince and the princess quarreled again today? Since the princess can't please the prince, why can't the prince abandon her?" Rong'er asked with a confused look on her face.
Dugu Lianqi touched her soft cheek: "What, you want to be my king's princess?"
"Why not? I am no worse than the princess. My appearance and talents are top-notch, and the prince dotes on me so much. I want to be a couple with the prince, and I also want to enter the palace with him, so that I can legitimately participate in the family.
Banquet..." Rong'er made no secret of her desire for the position of princess.
She has always been confident and flamboyant, and says what she wants directly.
The mere position of concubine could not satisfy her appetite.
Dugu Lianqi let go of Rong'er and replied quietly: "I only have one princess, and that person is Mu Yu. If you enter the palace earlier, you might still have a chance."
"Then let me be an equal wife like the princess, isn't it?" Rong'er retreated and asked for the next best thing.
"No! You can have two side concubines, but you can only have one princess." Dugu Lianqi said and stood up: "This matter ends here and cannot be discussed further."
Originally he planned to stay here for the night, but now he changed his mind.
Rong'er didn't expect that he would leave suddenly and hurriedly chased him out: "Your Majesty..."
Dugu Lianqi did not stop there, and soon walked far away.
Rong'er looked at Dugu Lianqi's back and murmured to himself: "It seems that this princess does have some weight."
The results of her two tests were unsatisfactory, and she even forced the prince to leave. This was not a good sign.
Looking at the thick night, she fell into deep thought...
The days passed by peacefully.
After Mu Yao entered the palace, the harem seemed to be gaining popularity again.
Mu Ci, who had lost his favor, gradually disappeared from the view of the concubines in the harem. It was not until autumn passed and another Spring Festival was approaching that everyone suddenly realized that Mu Yao had replaced Mu Ci and became the most favored by the emperor in the harem.
Concubines.
However, there is still a big gap between the so-called favor and the scene when Mu Ci was favored.
At least since Mu Yao's current generation of showgirls entered the palace, Dugu Liancheng has never ordered any concubines to sleep with him. Not only are the showgirls of this generation rarely attracted the emperor's attention, even the previous concubines wanted to see Dugu Liancheng.
It is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
It seems that after Mu Ci fell out of favor, Dugu Liancheng also completely lost interest in women. This phenomenon left everyone helpless.
Originally, Dugu Liancheng didn't like to go to the harem. Falling out of favor was an opportunity for everyone. Everyone tried their best to increase their presence in front of Dugu Liancheng, but the effect was very little.
The only one who benefited was Mu Yao.
At first, everyone was worried that the Mu sisters were pretending to be at odds with each other, but as time went by, everyone saw that it was a fact that the two sisters were at odds with each other, and they never even interacted with each other.
Mu Ci didn't seem to care about Mu Yao being favored, and stayed in Yong'an Palace to take care of the baby all day long.
When a banquet was held on New Year's Eve, Mu Ci appeared in front of everyone with the little prince.
The little guy is more than eight months old, and he is plump and plump. His facial features have fully grown, and he looks very much like Dugu Liancheng.
Mu Ci came in with the little prince in his arms. When he saw the crowd, the little prince was very excited. He was babbling. He looked so happy that he even called her mother.
On such an occasion, Mu Ci didn't want to be in the limelight. She hugged the little prince and took a seat at the bottom of the table.
As soon as Wu Zhaoyi saw the little prince, she immediately came over and teased the little guy from time to time.
The little guy grinned happily, making Wu Zhaoyi smile from ear to ear.
When Dugu Liancheng entered, he saw Mu Ci sitting in an inconspicuous position. Because of the eye-catching existence of the little prince, many people's eyes were focused on the little prince. Some people thought that the little prince was good-looking and that's why their eyes were on him.
The little prince lingered; the eyes of the other person revealed various complex emotions.
Mu Yao's eyes were also fixed on the little prince.
The last time she went back to Yong'an Palace, she didn't have time to meet the little prince. Since she broke up with Mu Ci that time, it was the first time she met Mu Ci, and of course it was the first time she met the little prince.
