Even with such a good move as Mallow, the master is still very calm. This is what Chunfeng admires most about his master.
Little did she know that Qing Le had fallen into Mu Ci's hands twice in succession and was already wary of Mu Ci.
Because it was easy to do things in the dark before, Mu Ci would not notice her. But it was different now. She was afraid that Mu Ci would send people to keep an eye on her actions.
In this case, it's always right to be more cautious.
Qing Le used to somewhat look down on Mu Ci, thinking that Mu Ci was able to escape from the traps she set several times just because of good luck.
But after suffering a loss at the hands of Mu Ci, she had to face one thing. Mu Ci was a difficult opponent.
In addition to Feiyuxuan and Yongan Palace, everyone in the harem also received this important news.
The position of Shangyi in front of the imperial court is the dream of all palace ladies, because it is the place closest to the emperor.
Since Biqiao's sudden death, most people thought that Biyu would fill the vacancy.
Who knows that a Malvai will appear halfway through. Everyone has never heard of this character before, but it is her who suddenly stands in the position that all the palace ladies want.
Not to mention that the masters in the harem were curious about what kind of abilities Mallow had, even all the maids in the harem had a strong interest in Mallow.
But she is on duty in Yong'an Palace and she is a palace maid. How can ordinary people easily see her?
Shen Manyun also made no secret of her interest in Malkui. She had nothing to do, so she simply went to Yanfu Palace to try her luck. She did not find An Rong this time, but ran to Yanfu Palace by herself.
It was rare that she was not blocked from the palace, but the emperor actually allowed her to enter.
When she arrived at Xinuang Pavilion, she saw the unfamiliar palace maid at a glance. She must be Mallow.
The first impression is that this palace girl is very beautiful; the second impression is that Mallow's temperament is very outstanding, like a lady from a famous family.
For such a person, not to mention becoming a palace maid, even if she becomes a concubine in the harem, that would be justified.
At least in the entire harem, there are very few women with such a scholarly temperament. Even Mu Ci does not have such a unique temperament. But a palace maid can do it easily, so it is no wonder that she was favored and promoted by the emperor.
Seeing Shen Manyun staring at Mallow, Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter with my beloved concubine?"
Shen Manyun then retracted his gaze fixed on Mallow and smiled: "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, so I came here to take a look. This palace girl is so beautiful, and I was dumbfounded just now. It must be Mallow, right?"
?”
"Mallow meets Empress Shen Zhaoyi, long blessings to the empress!" Mallow blessed Shen Manyun with a posture that was neither humble nor arrogant, and even the way she greeted her was particularly beautiful.
"No gift." Shen Manyun glanced at Mallow a few more times.
Seeing that Shen Manyun was staring at her, Mallow simply took two steps back and said, "I'll make you a pot of tea. I also asked Empress Zhaoyi to grind the ink for me. I'll be back soon."
She said and walked away.
Shen Manyun deeply felt that Mallow was a very lovable person and even knew how to create opportunities for her. If such a person could be used for her own purposes, she would have more opportunities to show her face in front of the emperor in the future.
Dugu Liancheng didn't say anything when he saw this.
Shen Manyun stood where Mallow was before, helping to grind the ink. She peeked at the emperor beside her from time to time, feeling a sweetness that could not be concealed in her heart.
Mallow took a long time to make tea, and it took a full two-quarters of an hour before he turned back leisurely.
She made two cups of tea gracefully, handed them to Shen Manyun and Dugu Liancheng respectively, then retreated to stand not far away, waiting for instructions.
Dugu Liancheng was busy reviewing the excerpts and did not see these details.
But Shen Manyun saw it in his eyes and felt more and more that Mallow was sensible and could find a way to bring her in.
When she left Yanfu Palace, Malkui personally escorted her out of the main hall, not at all as arrogant as Biqiao.
This attitude made her very satisfied.
So after leaving Yanfu Palace, she went to Hanyunxuan and told An Rong about Mallow, saying that she was the most friendly maid she had ever seen and that she was a popular person around the emperor.
"Sister, do you think the mallow can be used for your own use?" As soon as Shen Manyun opened her mouth, An Rong knew what she was planning.
"If you don't use someone like this, how wasteful it would be to keep it?" Shen Manyun didn't think there was anything wrong with her idea.
She felt that she had to get ahead of others, lest she be a step too late and be snatched away by others.
An Rong was playing the piano, but when she heard Shen Manyun's words, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and she couldn't help but put her forehead on her head and smile: "Why is sister still so naive?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Manyun didn't understand what An Rong was talking about.
An Rong sighed softly, "My good sister, haven't you ever thought that Mallow is from other palaces?"
Shen Manyun was stunned, and it took him a while to realize the meaning of An Rong's words.
"Sister, don't you think Mallow's rise to power is ridiculously fast?" An Rong replied softly.
To be honest, she was also very curious about Mallow's origin. But she really didn't believe that anyone in this world could succeed casually, and there was always something weird about Mallow's rise to power.
"It's true that she rose to power very quickly. In your opinion, which palace is she a chess piece of?" Shen Manyun couldn't help but feel ashamed.
She always felt like she was an idiot in front of An Rong.
"I have never dealt with Mallow, and I have no information about her. Naturally, I don't know who the master behind her is. But sister, listen to me, it's always right to be careful and don't trust people easily. I just heard my sister describe it. I feel that Mallow is an all-rounded person, and we should be more careful when dealing with such people." An Rong replied slowly.
Shen Manyun felt that An Rong's words made sense, so he agreed.
For the next period of time, Dugu Liancheng was busy with government affairs and did not move around the harem for most of the month.
Even Yong'an Palace has not been visited for a long time.
Mu Ci himself didn't feel anything wrong, but the people serving in Yong'an Palace felt something was wrong. Especially when they heard that the emperor would take Malkui with him wherever he went, everyone became more and more aware that Malkui, a palace maid, was charming and attractive to the Lord. captured the emperor's attention and thus neglected the Queen Mother.
Sizhu didn't want Mu Ci to hear these messy things, so he suggested that the empress stay in the house most of the time, and occasionally accompany the eldest prince, and her life was happy.
"The queen likes your highness very much." Sizhu said with emotion when she saw Mu Ci teasing the child.
At first she thought that the reason why the empress was good to the child was because she wanted to put on a show for Qing Le, but later she realized that was not the case. The empress really loved His Highness the eldest prince.
"Nian'er is very cute, and he gets along well with the Ai family." Mu Ci saw the little guy yawning repeatedly, so he held him in his arms and shook him.
The little guy found a comfortable position and fell asleep quickly.
The way the child sleeps peacefully is also particularly endearing.
"But Fei Yuxuan is His Highness's mother." Sizhu said softly.
