From then on, Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi accompanied Dongyang Hou and settled in the palace temporarily.
Emperor Qi was philanthropic, but he was also a diligent person in government affairs.
He didn't often summon the Marquis of Dongyang. Sometimes he couldn't remember this person after several days. Sometimes he remembered him in the middle of the night and wanted to see him immediately.
Every time Dongyang Hou comes back, his face is full of joy. Compared with before, Emperor Qi gives him more rewards now, including good food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The simple and plain robes he wore were popularized, and now powerful gentry inside and outside the palace are proud to wear such robes that save fabric and look good, and call them Tan robes.
Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi were even better. The palace people treated them with great respect. Even if they were elderly, they would be called "Lady" or "Sister".
Mu Yunhan was very cautious, smiling at everyone he met, not doing anything on his face, only keeping it in his heart, looking at the small palace of Dongyang Marquis, and doing his duty very conscientiously.
Dongyang Hou became more and more diligent, but his diligence was limited to romance, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In his words, the meaning of his life is to make His Majesty the Qi Emperor happy. Government affairs and the like are none of his business.
As long as your Majesty is happy, your Majesty will be healthy and these things will be solved.
Mu Yunhan never persuaded him to do anything meaningful. He could do whatever he wanted, and she could just cooperate with him.
She also saw that Emperor Qi liked Dongyang Hou because he liked his stupidity and foolishness, so he could rest assured.
This may be a common problem of powerful superiors.
When I was young, I liked to reuse smart and useful people. When I got older, I still couldn't do without smart and useful people, but I no longer liked them. I only liked people who were fresh and simple and could only rely on me.
In any case, there is no doubt that the Marquis of Dongyang is the favorite in the harem.
No one could bear this kind of pampering, so Concubine Li and Gu Mingyue quickly took action.
One day, the weather was sultry and sultry.
It was probably because bad news had come from the war on the front line. Emperor Qi couldn't bear his temper and needed to suppress his anger, so he ordered the Marquis of Dongyang to be sent to play chess with him to cool off.
Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi were not qualified to serve at the front, so they stayed in the narrow and stuffy palace to do needlework as usual.
It's just that the two of them are slightly different now than when they first entered the palace. At that time, they didn't know anyone and could only hide in the house and do quail.
Now I have gradually become familiar with the palace people, and I have deliberately made friends with some people, and there are a few people I can talk to.
The master was having fun and didn't need many people to serve him, so several people came to Mu Yunhan's place to do needlework with them and chat with them.
Suddenly someone came and called Mu Yunhan: "Young master has soiled his clothes and asked you to send them to him."
Mu Yunhan found a robe and asked Xiaomi to take it to the front.
Not long after Xiaomi left, another person came: "It's time to make autumn robes. The imperial concubine has called the lady over to ask questions."
The Queen doesn't care about anything, and Concubine Li is the boss in the palace. She handles everything big and small, so it's normal for her to call Mu Yunhan over to ask questions.
The palace guests who came as guests dispersed instantly. Mu Yunhan saw that the sky looked like it was going to rain, so he exchanged a few words with the newly assigned eunuch and followed the palace guests to Concubine Li's palace with an umbrella.
Halfway through, the palace attendant who led the way suddenly stopped and said, "Greetings to the empress."
Gu Mingyue, dressed in blue and red, stood under the palace wall with her twin maids. She looked at Mu Yunhan with a half-smile, "I underestimated you. Tan Ji has become a different person since he met you."
