Chapter 971: There will be favors when there is competition
During this period, Zheng Jieyu wanted to talk to Dugu Liancheng more than once, but Dugu Liancheng seemed to be deaf and never answered a word.
She talked to herself for a long time, and occasionally Guo Cairen would talk to her, which would make it less awkward.
At that awkward moment, Dugu Liancheng slowed down and said coldly: "Go back to the palace!"
Zheng Jieyu's heart dropped when she heard this: "Your Majesty..."
Only then did Dugu Liancheng seem to discover Zheng Jieyu's existence. He gave Zheng Jieyu a cold look and left without looking back.
Being left behind, Zheng Jieyu slumped her shoulders and found a cultural spot to rest.
After walking with her for an hour, she was almost exhausted, but the emperor didn't say a word to her. Was he just treating her like a joke?
Guo Cairen was also very tired. She sighed softly: "Sure enough, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."
Especially for an emperor as difficult as Dugu Liancheng, those who accompany him need to be strong and strong.
"What does the emperor mean? Since he doesn't like our company, why does he ask us to serve him by his side? He didn't say a word, which is discouraging." Guo Cairen said feebly.
If they want to show off, they have to accept the goods from the emperor.
It's a pity that the emperor looked down upon them and was unwilling to say a word to them.
"The Emperor at least remembers me, shouldn't I be grateful?" Zheng Jieyu smiled bitterly, but also felt at a loss.
No matter how much fighting spirit they have, they will be exhausted in the end, right?
"Sister Zheng wants to be more open-minded. Isn't this how we have been here all these years? The emperor has completely neglected us. We finally had a chance to meet the emperor, but it ended in such a bleak way." Guo Cairen sighed softly,
My heart is full of loss.
"Fortunately, we can occasionally talk in the harem. If this continues..." Zheng Jieyu was also full of disappointment.
Guo Cairen had been a little concerned about Zheng Jieyu abandoning her before, but now he had no thoughts.
"It's a pity that we can only be trapped in this palace for the rest of our lives. Apart from climbing up and gaining the emperor's favor, there is no way out." Zheng Jieyu suddenly regretted it at this moment.
If she hadn't been in a hurry to enter the palace that day, maybe she wouldn't have to struggle in the harem now.
Before entering the palace, she thought that the palace was the best place in the Xia Kingdom. She heard that the current emperor was young, handsome, and the king of a country, so she was dazzled by ambition.
After excitedly rushing into the palace, she seemed to be living in a cold palace despite not living there for many years. Only then did she realize why there were so many frustrated people in the harem.
No, she has now become one of them.
"I'm afraid we'll have to do this for the rest of our lives." Guo Cairen felt confused.
In fact, both of them are ambitious people, otherwise they would not get together, but in the end, there is no room for them to flourish in this harem.
It is said that fighting for favor will lead to favor.
However, the person from Yong'an Palace has not been able to see the emperor for many years, and they are not fighting for it. However, they cannot be as calm as that person, simply because they have already received enough.
"Maybe..." Zheng Jieyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The two walked out of the Imperial Garden together, having forgotten the scene of them walking into the Imperial Garden with high spirits.
Over there, Dugu Liancheng wandered on the palace road for a while, then simply went to play with Shen Manyun.
Shen Manyun didn't expect that Dugu Liancheng would come to her door. She hurriedly came to pick him up: "I respectfully welcome the emperor."
Dugu Liancheng waved her hand away and sat down directly: "What fun do you have here?"
This confused Shen Manyun.
She thought about it carefully, but she couldn't think of anything interesting in her palace. Finally, she said weakly: "I have nothing interesting here."
It seems that the emperor's illness has not recovered yet, otherwise he would not have come to her to ask this question.
"Then tell me something interesting." Dugu Liancheng added impatiently.
Biyu stood aside and winked at Shen Manyun.
Shen Manyun didn't understand what Biyu wanted to say, and the two communicated silently to no avail.
Finally, Biyu simply interjected: "Your Majesty, Yong'an Palace is more fun. There are two little highnesses there, they are both cute. Doesn't the emperor like the third highness the most?"
Shen Manyun glared at Biyu: "Your Majesty just came here to sit here for a while. Why are you in such a hurry to go to Yong'an Palace?"
Furthermore, although she doesn’t have a cute little prince here, she does have a cute little prince, right?
"What you say makes sense. Concubine Zhen, please find some fun for me. Life in the harem is too boring." Dugu Liancheng ordered quietly.
Shen Manyun thought this was not a big problem, so she invited the maids from Si Lesi to perform singing and dancing.
Dugu Liancheng felt that he had not seen a song and dance performance for a long time. After watching it, he only had four words to comment: "It's very boring."
Shen Manyun looked at Dugu Liancheng's disgusted expression and suddenly understood: "I heard that the queen can dance. If the queen dances for the emperor, the emperor will definitely find it interesting."
Dugu Liancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and suddenly he felt that there was some truth to this.
Does the Queen know how to dance?
It's not that he looks down on her. It would be ridiculous if the queen could dance.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go find the Queen? Let the Queen dance for the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely like it." Shen Manyun gave Dugu Liancheng an idea.
It makes me sad just thinking about it.
Dugu Liancheng finally came to find her, but she actually pushed him to Mu Ci. She had never been such a generous woman before.
The most depressing thing is that Mu Ci treats her badly, so why does she want to bring Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng together?
"You can dance like a queen?" Dugu Liancheng was not looking forward to it at all.
Shen Manyun smiled slightly: "Whether the queen can dance, you can find out if you go to Yong'an Palace and take a look?"
"I'm not going to Yong'an Palace." Dugu Liancheng's face darkened.
Yesterday, the Queen chose the latter between him and her family. Why did he go to the Queen and ask for trouble?
The Queen doesn't care about him, and it's impossible for him to care about the Queen.
"Isn't the Emperor bored? Yong'an Palace is very interesting, and so is the Queen. The Emperor is just looking for fun, and he didn't go to see the Queen..."
Before Shen Manyun finished speaking, Dugu Liancheng stood up and said coldly: "So you are also the queen's lobbyist. I didn't expect that her people are everywhere in this harem."
"Is this concubine a member of the queen?" Shen Manyun pointed at her nose, feeling very innocent.
How could she be Mu Ci's person? At most, she and Mu Ci were not as tit-for-tat as before.
This time Dugu Liancheng really wronged her.
Dugu Liancheng didn't want to listen to Shen Manyun's excuse anymore, so he threw up his sleeves and left, and soon the news disappeared.
Looking at Dugu Liancheng's back, the smile on Shen Manyun's face also faded.
"Why did the empress push the emperor to the empress? The empress clearly cares about the emperor. The emperor finally came here, but the empress did something stupid again and pushed the emperor out." Hui Xin felt sorry for her master.
