Chapter 881: No one informed her that the emperor has returned to the palace
As much as Mu Yao likes Dugu Lianyun, Mu Yao's choice is not difficult. In the end, Mu Yao's choice will definitely be Dugu Lianyun.
Mu Ci sometimes had to admit that he was no match for Dugu Lianyun.
Sizhu didn't know how to comfort her master, so she could only remain silent.
This year's Spring Festival passed so peacefully.
News from Jincheng spread to the palace from time to time. They said that Dugu Liancheng had won the battle and recovered Jincheng, but King Duguyun of Zhou was missing.
When such good news spread into the palace, all the concubines in the harem were naturally excited.
Mu Ci thought that since he had received the victory stick, Dugu Liancheng should be returning to the palace soon, right?
Maybe even return to the palace before she goes into labor.
But she waited and waited. Time passed day by day, and Dugu Liancheng still did not return to the palace. Until the day she gave birth, Dugu Liancheng still did not return to the palace.
Mu Yao stayed in front of Mu Ci's bed, holding Mu Ci's hand and cheering her up: "The baby will be born soon, sister, please work harder."
Mu Ci worked hard, worked hard, and finally gave birth to a baby weighing eight pounds in three hours.
"Isn't she a daughter?" Mu Ci was a little disappointed when he learned that she was another prince.
But as long as it is her child, she likes it. It is a pity that Dugu Liancheng was not able to see their second prince born. This is her regret and the child's regret.
"I told you he was my son before, but I still don't believe it." Mu Yao hugged the wrinkled child and said, "Why is this guy so much uglier than Xiao Yu'er?"
"Four girls don't know, all newborn babies look like this." Yingchun said, carefully hugging the third prince.
The name of the third prince still needs to be picked up after the emperor returns to the palace. For now, they can just call him the third prince.
Mu Yao looked at the third prince for a long time, while shaking her head: "This child is really not as good-looking as Xiao Yu'er."
She didn't hear Mu Ci's rebuttal for a long time. When she turned her eyes, she found that Mu Ci was too tired and had fallen asleep.
She stepped forward and brushed away Mu Ci's sweaty hair from his forehead, revealing Mu Ci's delicate face as big as a palm.
"My sister is so pretty." Mu Yao murmured to herself.
With such a face, it's no wonder that the lonely brother can't stop looking at him.
"The empress was indeed born with the beauty and fragrance of the country." The words to welcome the spring are full of glory.
Mu Yao looked at Mu Ci intently for a while, then thought of something and sighed softly.
Mu Ci slept deeply. In her dream, she seemed to feel someone looking at her. She thought it was Mu Yao. When she opened her eyes, she did not see Mu Yao.
She struggled to get up and raised her voice: "Si Zhu?"
Si Zhu entered in response.
"When did Yao'er leave?" Mu Ci asked.
"My queen has slept all night. The fourth girl left last night." Sizhu responded.
Mu Ci frowned.
So, was it just her illusion? She thought Mu Yao had been guarding her bed all night.
Mu Ci was reborn as the next prince, so naturally all the concubines in the harem came to congratulate Mu Ci.
On this day, An Rong also appeared in Yong'an Palace.
"Why did you leave the Buddhist hall?!" Mu Ci was a little surprised when he saw An Rong.
An Rong was also surprised: "Don't you know, Queen? The Emperor has returned to the palace."
"The emperor has returned to the palace?" Mu Ci was surprised.
Why was no one notifying her of such a big event that the emperor returned to the palace?
Don’t Sizhu and Yingchun know?
"The emperor returned to the palace last night and is currently discussing matters with all the adults in the Jinluan Palace. I believe that after the court, the emperor will come to see the queen." An Rong's smile remained unchanged.
But Mu Ci felt that An Rong's smile was a little strange.
This kind of An Rong was the one she was familiar with.
What puzzled her was why An Rong knew about such a big event as Dugu Liancheng's return to the palace in advance? And she, the queen, had to tell her about it.
Is An Rong proud of this?
She thought it couldn't be that simple.
Nowadays, An Rong is no longer the An Rong she knew, so the things that An Rong is proud of must make her suffer, otherwise An Rong would not be so happy.
Yes, An Rong is happy at this moment, as if An Rong has defeated her at this moment.
This is interesting.
Could it be that Dugu Liancheng brought another beauty from outside the palace and An Rong was gloating?
"An Rong, do you think you will have the chance to sit in the position I sit in this life?" Mu Ci asked leisurely.
An Rong lightly raised her eyebrows: "The Queen is suitable for sitting on the phoenix chair. It would be inappropriate for anyone else to sit on it, including me."
"But you still long for it. You not only long for this position, but also long for me to step down from this position. What you long for most is to become the emperor's wife. The imperial concubine has a noble position, but she is still a concubine, isn't she?" Mu Ci said
Those words hit An Rong's deepest concerns.
Although An Rong's expression remained unchanged, her heart was turbulent.
The person who knows her best in the world is Mu Ci.
"The things you desire most are occupied by me. Everything you have ever wanted in your life has been obtained by me. Whether it is the position of the empress in the middle palace or the position in the emperor's heart, they all belong to me. No matter what happens in the future,
I don't care too much about any changes, do you know why?" Mu Ci said softly.
An Rong remained calm: "Is the Queen confessing her true feelings to me?"
Mu Ci smiled: "I know that the position in the Emperor's heart cannot be occupied by any other woman, including you..."
Her determined tone made An Rong smile: "The Queen is so interesting, she is always so confident, there are unpredictable things, isn't she?"
She and Yuzhi had already made things happen. Today's Dugu Liancheng is no longer the emperor who put Mu Ci first in everything. It's funny that Mu Ci still can't see clearly.
Mu Ci nodded in understanding: "So that's it."
Her temptation just now had results.
The last time Yuzhi left the palace, it must have been An Rong's request. And Yuzhi must have used some means to make Dugu Liancheng no longer like her.
But is Dugu Liancheng such a weak-willed man?
Did Yuzhi and the others send beauties to Dugu Liancheng, or did they use other means?
Last time she tested Yuzhi, and Yuzhi also mentioned Dugu Liancheng, so there must be something wrong with Dugu Liancheng.
"What does this look like?" An Rong suddenly became wary.
Damn it, Mu Ci was actually testing her just now? How could Mu Ci be able to raise questions with just a few words?
She obviously didn't say anything.
"If you have used any dirty tricks against the Emperor, I and the Emperor will definitely recover this debt one day in the future. Just wait!" Mu Ci's brows grew colder.
An Rong stood up after hearing the words: "I can't understand a word of what the Queen is saying. If the Emperor no longer loves the Queen one day, it must be because the Emperor has disliked the Queen, and the Queen should find the reason in herself. I
I have to go to Yanfu Palace to pay my respects to the Emperor, but I won't accompany you."
