Thinking of this, An Rong sat up again, her thoughts flying far away.
Could it be that everything she did was useless, and in the end Dugu Liancheng still didn't treat her any differently? The way Dugu Liancheng looked at her today was like looking at a stranger.
Moreover, he was equally indifferent to other concubines, including Mu Ci.
In this case, it can be considered a good phenomenon. At least Mu Ci's family is no longer the only one, and everyone is on the same starting line.
As long as there is a chance, anyone can take the lead.
She is not necessarily worse than Mu Ci. As long as Dugu Liancheng gives her a chance, she can also become the woman that Dugu Liancheng puts at the forefront of his heart.
It's a pity that today I didn't even have a chance to say a word to Dugu Liancheng. I finally got to see Dugu Liancheng. There were so many concubines present, so I couldn't talk to Dugu Liancheng alone.
Today, she attended the event in all her makeup. Actually, she just wanted Dugu Liancheng to fall in love with her at a glance...
"Why can't you sleep?" Grandma Peng saw An Rong tossing and turning, thinking that An Rong had something on her mind.
An Rong simply sat up and asked, "Do you have any way to make the emperor fall in love with me at first sight?"
Aunt Peng was stunned when she heard this: "This... old angry and stupid person can't help the empress."
This kind of thing can only be done by yourself, how can a slave like her help?
An Rong smiled bitterly: "I have been pleased with the Emperor for many years, and what I hope most is to make the Emperor also be pleased with me. However, in the past years since I have been in the palace, the Emperor has always been lukewarm towards me. If it hadn't been for that time, I was so surprised.
Unexpectedly, after saving the emperor, the position of concubine was not in my turn. Unfortunately, just when I was only one step away from the throne, the queen returned to the harem."
Even if she is given another year and a half, she will definitely become Dugu Liancheng's wife and the mother of the Xia Kingdom.
Everything then got out of control. No matter how she planned, Mu Ci remained steady, climbing up the harem step by step, and eventually became pregnant with the crown prince and gave birth to him successfully.
It was that time that she touched the crown prince and made him completely disgusted with her.
If she could turn back time, she would definitely not make that bad move.
To this day, she still regrets that wrong step.
"In the past, the emperor was deceived by the queen. Now the opportunity for the empress has come. The empress must have a good rest so that she can be in good spirits. When she is in good spirits, she can attract the emperor's attention. At this time, the empress will go to bed first, and we will find another empress tomorrow.
Let’s go see the emperor when we get the chance. The worst we can do is go to Yanfu Palace early in the morning to block the emperor. The emperor always has to go to court, right?”
Aunt Peng's words made An Rong's eyes light up.
Why didn't she think of this?
Dugu Liancheng was diligent and caring for the people. She went to court on time every day and never slacked off once. Tomorrow she would get up earlier and she would definitely be able to see the emperor. Even if she didn't speak, it would be good to take a look from a distance.
She didn't know at this moment that she and Mu Ci were thinking about each other...
Early the next morning, Mu Ci appeared near Yanfu Palace.
But she didn't expect that before she met Dugu Liancheng, she met An Rong first.
The moment the two women faced each other, their expressions were a little unpredictable.
"It's so early, Queen." An Rong curled her lips sarcastically.
Is it possible that Mu Ci was watching her every move and knew that she would come here to block the emperor, so he rushed here early in the morning to get in front of her and block the emperor?
It's just that only Aunt Peng knows about this matter, and Aunt Peng will never betray her.
"Isn't it quite early, Concubine An?" Mu Ci replied slowly, but her eyes were staring in the direction of Yanfu Palace, intently.
She didn't care at all whether An Rong came to see Dugu Liancheng, she just came here because she wanted to see Dugu Liancheng.
An Rong followed Mu Ci's gaze and said coldly: "Today is different from the past. You no longer have the final say in this harem."
"Why don't you continue to pretend? I like to see your hypocrisy even more." Mu Ci didn't mind reminding An Rong what happened a year ago.
At that time, An Rong showed kindness to her more than once and treated her with respect, but she was not as ugly as she is now.
"I'm hypocritical? How can you be so good? You and I are just laughing at the fifty steps and the hundred steps." An Rong sarcastically said.
"I always do whatever I want, unlike some people..." Before Mu Ci could finish his words, he saw movement in Yanfu Palace.
It was still dark, the morning light had not yet appeared, and there were so many people there that even if you were close, you couldn't see Dugu Liancheng's face clearly.
What was she doing here, she wondered?
If Dugu Liancheng doesn't want to see her, no matter what she does, he will never change his original intention.
Especially when she thought of standing with An Rong and waiting for Dugu Liancheng, she felt uneasy!
At that moment she stopped looking, turned around and left.
An Rong felt relieved when she saw Mu Ci left on her own. Without Mu Ci as an eyesore, the emperor would only be able to see her alone, right?
When the royal staff team passed by her, she looked at Dugu Liancheng expectantly, but found that Dugu Liancheng was not squinting, as if he had not seen her at all, and he did not even glance at her with the corner of his eye.
Dugu Liancheng's dull reaction made her discouraged.
Seeing this, Nanny Peng comforted her and said: "It's still early, so the emperor must not have seen the empress standing here, so he ignored her. Next time when the light is better, the emperor will definitely be able to see the empress and say hello to her."
An Rong felt uncomfortable.
No matter how nice Nanny Peng's words are, she still knows that the problem lies with her.
If it were Mu Ci standing here, the emperor might not be so completely indifferent.
She just couldn't understand why Dugu Liancheng was still so cold to her even after he had taken the medicine. Could it be that only after Mu Ci died would this man be willing to look at her more?
At this moment, An Rong placed all the blame on Mu Ci.
Little did she know that Yingchun had not gone far.
After watching this wonderful scene, she ran back to Yong'an Palace.
She told Mu Ci what she saw: "The fact that the emperor still turned a blind eye to Concubine An under such circumstances shows that no matter how he changes, he will never become happy with any woman other than the empress!"
What's the use of An Rong doing more? The emperor doesn't like it either.
Mu Ci said nothing, and his expression did not change at all.
When Yingchun saw this, he timidly stepped aside.
Sizhu didn't dare to speak anymore. She knew that the empress felt uncomfortable. The emperor was obviously neglecting the empress. In that case, what difference did it make whether the emperor neglected the other concubines?
Although the emperor may have some physical reasons, it still frustrated the empress?
When it was time for all the concubines to pay their respects to Mu Ci, Mu Ci sat upright on the phoenix throne, calm and powerful.
Everyone could feel the coercion emanating from Mu Ci. Even Qi Luo, who usually liked to stir up trouble, could see it and did not dare to provoke Mu Ci easily.
