Now seeing the transformation of Dugu Lianqi, Mu Ci can finally let go of her hanging heart.
It's just that some of the damage has already been done. How can it be undone by just a little change on the part of Dugu Lianqi?
Therefore, she could not interfere in Mu Yu's emotional affairs. She only hoped that Mu Yu would be more stable with Yu'er's company in the second half of his life.
Mu Yu planned to leave the palace after staying in the palace for a few days.
First, because the life in the palace was boring, no wonder Mu Ci didn't want her to leave the palace; second, because Dugu Lianqi ran to Yong'an Palace every day, but she couldn't drive him away, and it wouldn't be troublesome for Mu Ci, so he simply left.
After returning to the palace, Mu Yu's life became much more fulfilling.
Mu Yu had no time to be bored because she had to take charge of the household, take care of her children, and deal with Dugu Lianqi.
Madam Mai has been running very diligently recently, coming to greet her on time every day, which has completely eliminated her previous fierceness.
Mu Yu felt relieved to see that she no longer had tit-for-tat confrontations with her like before.
But sometimes when she looked up, she saw Mai's eyes fixed on Dugu Lianqi. The enthusiasm and light in Mai's eyes could not be concealed.
At this time, she understood that Mrs. Mai was probably pretending to be good to her. In addition, Dugu Lianqi often stayed in Lingyu Pavilion, so Mr. Mai often went to Lingyu Pavilion.
Mr. Mai, this is a drunkard who doesn’t care about drinking.
Dugu Lianqi and Xiao Yu'er played for about half an hour before leaving Lingyu Pavilion.
As soon as Dugu Lianqi left, the smile on Mai's face dimmed. She then made an excuse and left Lingyu Pavilion.
When Dong'er saw this scene, she felt it was necessary to tell the princess about it.
After listening to Dong'er's words, Mu Yu said, "I've seen it all, let's talk about it later."
Mai didn't do anything extraordinary.
On weekdays, Dugu Lianqi rarely left the palace, but the remaining concubines rarely had the opportunity to see Dugu Lianqi, so it was reasonable that they would find ways to get close to Dugu Lianqi.
It can't be that she can't tolerate Mr. Mai just because of this, right?
"After all, the princess should be careful and not be careless. Aunt Mai is obviously just pretending to show her kindness to the princess." Dong'er said uneasily.
"Aren't there still so many of you watching? Even if Madam Mai had some brains, she wouldn't be able to kill me or Yu'er in front of everyone in Lingyuge Pavilion." Mu Yu said calmly.
Seeing that Mu Yu had listened, Dong'er stopped talking.
From that day on, Mu Yu did not dare to be careless. Whenever Mai came over, she would have people keep a close eye on her. She herself would often stay with Yu'er.
Madam Mai was very respectful to her and didn't express too much when she saw Dugu Lianqi, but Madam Mai couldn't hide her affection for Dugu Lianqi at all costs.
As time passed, all the servants serving in Lingyu Pavilion saw the clues. It was a lie that Mai was chatting with Mu Yu to relieve his boredom, but it was true that he wanted to enhance his presence in Dugu Lianqi.
Everyone was trying to persuade Mu Yu to tell Dugu Lianqi about this matter, but Mu Yu felt it was unnecessary.
In the past, Dugu Lianqi had so many women, so it didn't mean that she couldn't tolerate them. Now that there is only Mai, does she still want to make a fuss out of a molehill?
Dong'er and Qiu'er saw that Mu Yu couldn't move, and they discussed whether they should report the matter to Master Dugu Lian.
But the mistress of the palace is Mu Yu. As Mu Yu's personal attendants, it seems inappropriate for them to report this matter to the prince behind the mistress' back.
Just when they were hesitant, Mai came again that day.
Qiu'er saw that Mai couldn't put on a good face. No matter how slow Mai was, she noticed something was wrong. When she saw this, she understood clearly: "Can I have a few words with the princess alone?"
Mu Yu nodded in agreement and motioned for everyone to leave.
When there was no one around, Mai said: "I can clearly see the situation in the palace. Ever since Sister Li was sent out of the palace, who has not been frightened, fearing that he will be the next one to be sent out by the prince? To be honest with the princess.
, I am also afraid that when I wake up from sleep, I will no longer be in the palace."
Mu Yu took a sip of tea and did not express any opinion.
Mai then said again: "I live in fear every day, just worried about such a day. Later I thought about it, instead of worrying so much, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to look at the prince more. The whole palace is full of shame.
People know that before I entered the palace, I was already in love with the prince. I deliberately wanted to attract the prince's attention, so I found an opportunity to get to know the prince. The happiest thing in a woman's life is to be with him.
It’s just a man I like.”
Mu Yu listened carefully.
She doesn't understand whether these so-called love between men and women are really so intoxicating. She has never experienced it, so she can't understand it.
"After getting along with each other these days, I can see that the princess doesn't care about the prince at all. But I like the prince so much. Sometimes I wonder why God is so unfair, but you who don't care about the prince can become
Princess, we women who care about the prince are all rejected by him." Madam Mai looked ahead, her eyes a little hollow: "Now I don't dare to have other extravagant thoughts, I just want to be quiet and not make the prince dislike me.
, it’s enough to be able to stay in the palace and settle down.”
But every time she saw Dugu Lianqi, her eyes couldn't help but follow him. She knew that this would expose her feelings for the prince, but she couldn't help it.
It had only been a long time before everyone in Lingyu Pavilion knew that she had feelings for the prince.
"Why do you continue to please the prince even though you know he is so carefree?" Mu Yu said she didn't understand.
Precisely because she has no unforgettable experience, she doesn't understand why so many women like Dugu Lianqi.
There was a light in Mai's eyes when she mentioned Dugu Lianqi. This kind of emotion could not deceive anyone. She believed that Mai's words were true.
Just because you like someone, do you want to bury yourself in the dust of humility?
"I don't know. I just fell in love with the prince as soon as I saw him. I know that there are many beauties in the palace, but I still want to be the prince's woman. If you are happy with someone, you don't have so much reason.
Madam Mai looked at Mu Yu deeply: "If the princess one day meets someone she truly likes, she will understand how I feel."
Sometimes she would envy the rain, but sometimes she wouldn't.
It's a good thing to be a winner in life like Mu Yu, but she never understands how joyful it is to like someone. How boring is such a life?
"I probably will never experience such strong feelings in my life." After Mu Yu finished speaking, he said with a straight face: "I will not interfere in your affairs with the prince. As for the other things, I can't help you, so you can take care of yourself.
"
As long as it doesn't involve her interests and as long as Mai doesn't have bad intentions towards Yu'er, she can tolerate Mai.
As for whether Mai can regain her favor, it all depends on Mai's own methods.
