"The Queen is originally the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and it is normal for her beauty to dominate the crowd. If one day other concubines cross the Queen, it would be disrespectful." An Rong's expression was still calm, showing no emotion or anger.
It's just a pity that she came here dressed up today, but was crushed by Mu Ci and had no room to show off.
What else can be said?
This has become normal. Shen Manyun shouldn't make a fuss. Anyway, she was mentally prepared for this and there was no surprise at all.
But somewhere in her heart, An Rong was still unwilling to be Mu Ci's foil forever.
"Sister An has a good mentality, and no one in the harem can match it. People like Sister An are among the best, and it would be a pity not to be the queen." Shen Manyun said, and walked away.
An Rong looked at Shen Manyun's back and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Originally, she quite liked Shen Manyun's temperament, and if possible, would like to be friends with her for life. In this harem, it is very sad not to have a friend to talk to.
Yes, Mu Ci's methods were more ruthless than hers, but why did even Shen Manyun switch sides to Mu Ci?
Even Mu Ci, who had a grudge against Mu Ci for stealing men, finally shook hands with Mu Ci and made peace.
And Mu Xue, who was in Beigong, actually became Mu Ci's friend.
Were all of Mu Ci's enemies conquered by Mu Ci? It's simply a joke.
I think back then, she had many friends, all of whom were willing to date her, but why did all of these people leave her in the end?
An Rong looked around and found that none of the concubines here had any friendship with her, or even had contact with her. Yes, none.
The only one, Shen Manyun, abandoned her.
Was it because she liked Dugu Liancheng that she made herself so lonely?
And she did all this just to get rid of Mu Ci.
Mu Ci sensed An Rong's gaze. She looked over and met An Rong's cold eyes.
She smiled back at An Rong, and then the eldest prince's voice came from far away: "My son, I would like to express my sincere greetings to my queen mother, Jin An!"
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Nian, his eyebrows became gentle: "No courtesy. Come over here and let the Queen Mother take a look at you."
Dugu Nian walked up to Mu Ci. Mu Ci touched the child's face and said with focused eyes, "Your child has grown taller again."
His facial features also look more and more like Dugu Lianyun.
"Nian'er is seven years old, of course he has to grow taller." Dugu Nian was still looking for his two younger brothers.
Soon he saw Yu'er playing with the third prince not far away, his eyes lit up, and he ran over.
When Yu'er saw Dugu Nian, she rushed towards him with joy: "Brother, give me a hug!"
"Slow down." Dugu Nian hurriedly caught the little dumpling.
His younger brother is almost two years old, and the older he gets, the more handsome he becomes, and the more he looks at him, the more he likes it.
When Mu Ci saw the scene of the two brothers hugging each other, a smile appeared on his lips.
In a royal family, there is nothing better than brotherly harmony.
"Your Highness likes His Highness the Crown Prince very much." Sizhu couldn't help but sigh.
"It's the best thing that they have a good relationship as brothers." After Mu Cicai finished answering, he heard noise coming from not far away.
Not long after, a group of concubines were seen surrounding them. To cause such a big sensation, Dugu Liancheng must have arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here. Your Majesty, hurry up and don't let the other masters of the harem get the upper hand!" Yingchun said hurriedly when she saw Mu Ci sitting still.
Sizhu really wanted to kick Yingchun hard.
The Queen has a distinguished status and is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, and there are many wives from the court here. How can the Queen leave these guests and compete for favors?
This dead girl Yingchun has some bad ideas!
Yingchun received Sizhu's venomous gaze and realized that this was a public occasion. She laughed dryly and looked away.
She really forgot that the empress has a noble status, and she cannot do the same thing as other concubines to do jealous things. This would be disrespectful to her status.
Mu Ci looked at the lively crowd from a distance from time to time, and sometimes envied the concubines in the harem for their wantonness. She could see that An Rong was also a little unable to sit still, but she still acted like a noble concubine.
Just when An Rong was hesitating, Dugu Liancheng was already heading to another road in the imperial garden surrounded by people.
An Rong's face darkened when she saw this, and she didn't care much at the moment. She said something to Mu Ci and hurried away.
Yingchun felt anxious when she saw this scene, "Mom, the scenery over there is nice, let's go for a walk there too?"
Don't be reserved at this time. If you are reserved, the emperor will be snatched away.
Mu Ci, however, still sat on the ground calmly, and replied quietly: "The scenery here is better."
If Dugu Liancheng wanted to see her, he wouldn't have gone to the other side just now. It was obviously because he didn't want to see her, so he deliberately avoided it. Yingchun couldn't figure it out, but she understood this truth.
And since the children were all here, she naturally couldn't leave the three princes and go far away.
Even if it means one thousand or ten thousand, she doesn't have the courage to see Dugu Liancheng.
It has been nearly a year since I last saw Dugu Liancheng, and she is still where she is, but I don't know what Dugu Liancheng has become.
Mu Ci was not in a good mood. Fortunately, the children were innocent. Seeing them playing together, the depression in her heart gradually dissipated.
Seeing Dugu Nian holding Yu'er's hand and walking away, Mu Ci was a little worried and said in a loud voice: "You guys walk slower."
"Mother, I will take good care of my brother." Dugu Nian hurriedly replied.
The maid who was waiting for Dugu Nian saw this and followed him.
Mu Ci was still worried that the two children had gone too far, so he said to Sizhu: "You and Jirou follow them, don't let them go too far."
"Yes, your Majesty." After Sizhu said that, he and Ji Rou went to the two young highnesses.
Mu Ci felt relieved when he saw Sizhu and the others quickly following him.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. About two-quarters of an hour later, Sizhu suddenly ran back in panic, and Ji Rou came back too, holding Yu'er in her arms.
"Did you fall?" Mu Ci quickly stood up and asked.
"No, His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly fainted, and his lips turned black, as if he had been poisoned. The servant has sealed His Highness the Crown Prince's acupuncture points to prevent the poison from spreading, but it cannot be delayed for long!" Ji Rou said fearfully.
Mu Ci's heartbeat quickened and she ordered Dr. Zhang to come and see Yu'er.
"It is true that he was poisoned. Fortunately, the poison is not overbearing, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Doctor Zhang quickly came to a conclusion after diagnosing the crown prince.
Mu Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better not to detoxify Yu'er."
She gave up her position and no one else dared to approach.
Mu Ci was worried about Yu'er's health, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dugu Nian standing alone not far away, with panic written on his face.
The child's expression cannot be deceived, it is obvious that he is also frightened.
She stepped forward and took Dugu Nian's hand, "Nian'er, don't be afraid, Yu'er will be fine."
