Chapter 855: I can't see the true face of that person
Qi Luo frowned: "Who said I am not popular?!"
"Then tell me who in this harem is close to you. Why don't you find one of them on the spot!" Concubine He Xian said softly.
Qi Luo wondered what the problem was, and she was full of confidence: "I'm not just looking for one, I can also find many!"
When she finished her words and looked for someone at the scene, she found that the people who came to Yong'an Palace today were all concubines she was not familiar with, some of whom she couldn't even name.
Except for those who were dependent on her, she discovered that these were the ones at the scene that she wanted to use but instead made enemies, including Yuzhi.
"You can't point out any of them, can you?" Concubine He Xian said and stopped pressing the topic.
Qi Luo has no self-awareness, and she has to have someone fall on her face to see the reality clearly.
Qi Luo wanted to refute, but found that Concubine He Xian was telling the truth.
Fortunately, Concubine He Xian dismissed the topic and did not continue to embarrass her.
After that, Zillo finally calmed down.
Everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.
The others left one after another, and Mu Ci stopped Concubine He Xian: "Why don't you sit in Yong'an Palace for a while before leaving?"
Concubine He Xian happily agreed: "Since the queen ascended to the throne, I haven't had time to congratulate the queen alone."
Mu Ci smiled and said, "You don't like to talk usually, why did you teach Concubine Ming a lesson today?"
"The Queen is pregnant. She needs to have good prenatal education. There is no need to listen to their quarrels, so I said a few more words. I hope the Queen will not be surprised." Concubine He Xian replied softly.
Mu Ci burst into laughter: "I have to say, you have unique vision."
So many people in the harem didn't know she was pregnant, and Dugu Liancheng was also kept a secret from her. Only Concubine He Xian noticed something strange about her body.
"I saw your Majesty eating sour plums from time to time, and it was early in the morning, so I became suspicious. Your Majesty is going to be happy, and you haven't told the Emperor yet, right? The Emperor is about to go on a military expedition in person. If Your Majesty doesn't hurry up..." Concubine He Xian stopped talking.
.
The smile on Mu Ci's face disappeared: "I don't want the Emperor to be distracted, so I decided not to tell the Emperor about this for the time being."
Nothing is more important than the safety of Dugu Liancheng.
"It's a good thing for your Majesty to consider for the Emperor, but I'm afraid that the Emperor will be sad if he finds out in the future. However, I will support whatever your Majesty does." Concubine He Xian expressed her position.
Mu Ci didn't want to talk about this heavy topic anymore, "Can Nian'er be free today? I haven't seen him for a while. Do you want to bring him to Yong'an Palace for dinner?"
"That kid, I'm busy with my homework now, so let's forget about it today." Concubine He Xian sat for a while longer before getting up and leaving.
Watching Concubine He Xian walk away, Sizhu sighed softly: "I feel that many masters have changed. It seems that Concubine Xian is the only one who remains the same as before. Nothing has changed."
"Is there any person who remains unchanged? In my opinion, Concubine Xian has also changed. Nowadays, Concubine Xian's focus is on the eldest prince, so she can't open the door or get out. In the past, Concubine Xian could not
It's not as low-key as it is now." Yingchun had the opposite opinion to Sizhu.
Sizhu and Mu Ci looked at each other and realized that Yingchun's words made sense.
Concubine He Xian paid a lot for the eldest prince, not to mention that the eldest prince was not Concubine He Xian's biological child. This shows that Concubine He Xian is a passionate person.
"I think it was the Empress who vindicated the injustice of the Concubine Xian. If not, there would be no Concubine Xian today. This shows that the Empress did not save Concubine Xian in vain that year. Concubine Xian is still grateful to the Empress..."
Yingchun said some miscellaneous words again.
Yingchun brought up the past, which made Mu Ci sigh with emotion: "So many years have passed, and the old people at the time have left and dispersed. The last remaining old people are Concubine Zhen, Concubine Xian and Concubine An. Most of the others are... He entered the palace later."
Hearing this, Sizhu also joked: "My Majesty never imagined that the empress Zhen Fei who hated her the most would become her friend, and the Anmei man who seemed to respect her was now her biggest enemy. The servants also felt that Things in the world are unpredictable, and some people cannot see the true face of that person until the end."
Mu Ci also felt the same way.
Shen Manyun really hated her that year and was her enemy at every turn, but in the end, Shen Manyun who hated her so much would eventually join forces with her to deal with An Rong.
The situation in the harem changes so quickly, so you should never underestimate any concubine, and you must be fully prepared, otherwise you will not know how you will die.
She has been living too comfortably recently, so comfortable that she has let down all her vigilance. This phenomenon is not good in the first place.
On the fourth day of April, it is the birthday of Crown Prince Duguyu.
The emperor Dugu Liancheng said that he would hold a grand first-year banquet for the Crown Prince. In addition to the Crown Prince's distinguished status, this banquet was held according to the highest standards.
Mrs. Rongguo also entered the palace.
Mu Ci specially arranged for Mrs. Rong Guo and Mu Yao to sit together.
Mu Yao and Mrs. Rong Guo were also together at the last conferment ceremony, but Mu Yao was reluctant to talk to Mrs. Rong Guo.
This time, because of Mu Ci's prompting, Mu Yao reluctantly responded and added a few words to Mrs. Rongguo, which was enough to make Mrs. Rongguo so happy that she was speechless.
"Mom, please don't cry on such an occasion. Today is the Crown Prince's birthday party. There are many people watching. We can't embarrass my sister." Mu Yao said angrily to Mrs. Rongguo, her eyes red.
"Mom is just happy." Mrs. Rongguo forced back tears: "It's not easy for your sister in the harem. Now that you have entered the palace..."
"Okay, stop talking, I'll take it all away. If mom keeps nagging me, I'll find another seat to sit at." Mu Yao impatiently interrupted Mrs. Rong Guo's words.
Mrs. Rong Guo did not dare to say anything anymore.
Seeing her like this, Mu Yao coughed lightly and said, "Just whisper it, there are so many people here, let's not make trouble for sister and Xiao Yu'er."
Mrs. Rong Guo was very pleased to see that she was always thinking about Mu Ci and the Crown Prince.
Mu Ci had also been paying attention to the movements on their side, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the mother and daughter talking and laughing.
She was really afraid that Mu Yao would remember Mrs. Rongguo's slap and never forgive Mrs. Rongguo.
Dugu Liancheng hugged the babbling little prince the whole time, with a smile on his face.
When it came time to capture Zhou, the little prince turned a blind eye to the Four Treasures of the Study and other objects surrounding him. Instead, he opened them and crawled towards Mu Ci without fail.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this funny scene, but Mu Ci himself couldn't laugh.
This kid won't be a romantic guy who only loves beauties in the future, right?
Dugu Liancheng and Mu Ci thought together and had the same worries.
Unwilling to be reconciled, he placed the crown prince in the middle and found other cute objects to attract the child's attention.
