"That's not like the crown prince, who didn't show any expression when he saw me." Dugu Liancheng quickly made a decision: "Show me in Yong'an Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yu couldn't hide her excitement and raised her voice: "Show off in Yong'an Palace!!"
The imperial team soon arrived in front of Yong'an Palace, and Li Yu screamed again: "The emperor has arrived!!!"
Soon someone came to pick him up, including many servants from Yong'an Palace, but Mu Ci was not the only one to be seen.
Dugu Liancheng was unhappy when he saw this: "I'm here, why doesn't the queen come to pick me up?"
When his imperial chariot came to Yong'an Palace, this woman, Mu Ci, did not come to pick him up. It was unethical to neglect him as an emperor in this way.
The slaves who were kneeling on the ground did not dare to say a word.
In the past, the Queen never picked up the driver, but now the Emperor actually asked the Queen to pick him up. His reaction was really strange.
"The Queen must be busy." Li Yu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Dugu Liancheng hummed softly and strode into Yong'an Palace.
He wanted to see what Mu Ci was busy with. When he entered the inner hall and saw Mu Ci having a meal, his face suddenly darkened: "No one told the queen that I would come to Yong'an Palace for dinner.
What?"
You actually started eating it yourself, who are you?
Mu Ci replied quietly: "When I received the notice, it was already time for dinner."
Who could have known in advance that he would suddenly come to Yong'an Palace for a meal, and who would have stipulated that you must wait for him to have a meal together?
Dugu Liancheng was speechless for a moment, and he glared at Li Yu and Bi Yu. It was these two troublesome people who asked him to come here to have a meal.
He took his seat and said like a great gentleman: "Now that I'm here, please bring me some bowls and chopsticks."
Mu Ci glanced at him: "Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. The emperor is used to being served by others, but he has no such habit in Yong'an Palace."
When Dugu Liancheng heard this, he wanted to flip the table.
But he is a well-educated person and does not care about ignorant little girls.
Why not do it yourself?
As expected, he helped himself to a bowl of soup, took a sip and then said: "Queen, you are wrong in calling yourself a concubine."
Me, me, I don’t understand the rules.
Mu Ci glanced at him briefly and did not answer.
"Why don't you respond when I speak?" Dugu Liancheng asked again.
Mu Ci replied to him: "You don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep. Do you still want me to come to the Pope?"
Dugu Liancheng couldn't hold back this time and slapped the table: "Have you ever talked to me like this?"
He is the emperor, how can she act like a child in front of him? This is all a fault of his pampering in the past.
"I've always spoken like this. It's been like this before, and it will be like this in the future. The emperor doesn't like it, so you don't have to read it." Mu Ci replied lukewarmly.
Dugu Liancheng felt that it was boring to stay any longer, so he might as well leave.
But he was unwilling to leave like this.
Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui had been respectful to him before. Although the woman in front of her was a queen, she could not be arrogant just because he favored her in the past.
Now it's no different than before. He doesn't dote on her, and he dislikes her even less. What reason does she have to turn her face away from him?
Thinking of this, he admonished Mu Ci: "I am the emperor, and as the queen, you should have a better attitude towards me."
If not, if he never comes again, won't she have to stay alone in her empty boudoir?
Mu Ci focused on eating and was too lazy to talk to Dugu Liancheng about such fruitless topics.
Although she knew he was a patient and she should give him some mercy, she still blamed him. How could her attitude towards him be better?
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci who was busy and saw that the dishes on the table were almost eaten by Mu Ci. He couldn't help but ask: "Are all women as good at eating as you?"
There was no image in front of him, and looking at him made one's appetite whet his appetite.
The way she eats it, she definitely won't leave any for him.
Mu Ci still didn't speak, and Dugu Liancheng didn't know what to do. He also started to eat. If he stopped eating, she would finish all the dishes alone.
After finishing the meal, Dugu Liancheng found that Mu Ci had left at some point.
He asked Li Yudao: "Where has the queen gone?"
Li Yu shook his head: "I took the two highnesses out before, but I don't know where the empress is."
Seeing that the emperor didn't care, he couldn't leave the emperor behind and go find out the whereabouts of the empress, right?
Dugu Liancheng looked at the leftovers on the table and thought of Mu Ci's cold demeanor, and couldn't help complaining: "This woman Mu Ci is really unpleasant."
"The emperor liked it before." Biyu whispered back.
Dugu Liancheng's ears were sharp, and he heard what Biyu said clearly, and turned back to glare at her.
Biyu looked innocent and turned away.
Originally, the emperor used to think everything was good for his empress. Now, he always finds fault with his empress.
When the emperor recovers from his illness in the future, he may kneel down on the washboard to atone for his sins when he remembers how cold he was to his empress today.
"Go and find the queen. I'm leaving. As the queen, she should send me out of Yong'an Palace!" Dugu Liancheng ordered Biyu.
Biyu was a little speechless when she heard this.
What kind of logic is this, Your Majesty? If he doesn’t like the Queen, he wants the Queen to send her away. Is it just to maintain his reputation as the Emperor?
However, the emperor issued an order, and she, a slave, had to obey. Of course, she had to follow the order to find the empress.
After asking about Mu Ci's whereabouts, Biyu quickly found Mu Ci in the corridor.
She explained her purpose: "The emperor said that he would like to ask the empress to escort the emperor out of Yong'an Palace."
"As before, he likes to cause trouble for me the most." Mu Ci was not surprised by Dugu Liancheng's order.
"Although the emperor always makes trouble for the empress, the emperor still cares about the empress. No matter what happens to the emperor, the empress is the most special existence." Biyu replied respectfully.
Her words did not comfort Mu Ci.
She followed Biyu back to the main hall and saw Dugu Liancheng waiting in the distance.
Seeing her coming, Dugu Liancheng's gloomy expression eased: "If the queen doesn't come, I will punish all the servants in Yong'an Palace. You must not disobey me next time. Not everyone has a good temper like me."
Mu Ci snorted softly, "That's what the emperor said!"
Dugu Liancheng hugged Xiao Budian in her arms: "Let's go, see me off."
In this way, Dugu Liancheng held the third prince in his arms, and Mu Ci held the crown prince's hand, and the two of them walked out of the Yong'an Palace gate one after the other.
Mu Ci occasionally glanced at Dugu Liancheng beside him, and had a strange illusion. It seemed that Dugu Liancheng had never changed.
After leaving the gate of Yong'an Palace, Dugu Liancheng stuffed the third prince back into Mu Ci's arms, "I'm leaving."
"Best regards, Your Majesty." Mu Ci said without sincerity.
Dugu Liancheng glanced at her lightly and said, "Yin and Yang go against each other."
That's all, how much she can be expected to respect him, it's not wrong now.
He got on the imperial chariot, which soon disappeared at the end of the palace road.
"The Emperor has left, please come back," Sizhu reminded when seeing Mu Ci still standing there in a daze.
Mu Ci cheered up and went back indoors. She suddenly asked: "Did I not respect the emperor enough just now?"
