Chapter 447: Take the initiative to fight for favor
"The Ai family always feels that things are a little strange. Does Malkui really have such great influence? Does the emperor just do whatever he asks the emperor to do?" Mu Ci murmured to himself.
Logically speaking, a man as scheming as Dugu Liancheng should not be easily influenced by a woman.
No matter how much he likes Makui, he will not comply with everything Makui asks. He is not a foolish king who only values beauty.
"This slave also feels strange. But now it seems that the emperor is indeed responsive to Mallow's requests." Sizhu also had the same confusion.
In her impression, the emperor was wise, powerful, and disliked women, so he was unique to his empress.
But when facing the empress, the emperor is still a superior emperor. It is impossible for the emperor to respond to what the empress says.
There is no doubt that Mallow's status in the emperor's heart is even higher than that of the empress.
She has also seen Mallow, her appearance and temperament are unique to this harem, but compared to the empress, she is still a little inferior.
"Maybe the emperor likes women like Mallow, otherwise Mallow wouldn't be able to climb so fast." Mu Ci revealed a sarcastic smile: "Or maybe the emperor is really moved this time and wants to
I am that foolish king who only wants beauty but no power."
Sizhu did not comment: "If there is such a beauty, I still feel that it must be the empress. Mallow should forget it."
Her mother-in-law is infinitely better than Mallow, and she holds the same view as Yingchun on this point.
What we have to worry about right now is the malvae and its sequel.
"Your Majesty, you still need to put some thought into the Emperor. You can't always let Mallow have the upper hand. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Sizhu suggested in a low voice.
Mu Ci glanced at her and understood what she meant: "Do you want the Ai family to compete for favor?"
Sizhu smiled sarcastically: "I think this is a matter of fighting for favor, which I don't know how to do and I don't even bother to do it."
Mu Ci picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp: "That's not necessarily the case!"
In her previous life, she had used many tricks to win favor, but she had never put them to use in this life.
Another point is that she has no exclusive desire for the emperor, and she is the queen mother, so why should she lower herself and play the drama of competing for favor among concubines in the harem?
It's just that things are different now.
Since Qing Le hasn't been pulled down by her yet, she has to think of a way to stabilize Dugu Liancheng first, and she can't let him block her way anymore.
Sizhu took a peek at his empress, and suddenly she couldn't imagine what it would be like for her to fight for her favor.
But two days later, Sizhu found out.
Mu Ci specially dressed up that day.
The weather was getting hotter. Mu Ci wore a lake green gold brocade double-breasted dress with a light powder. It was originally a refreshing outfit, but because her lips were smeared with bright red lipstick, the whole person was fresh and refined, but
And charming and bright.
Of course Sizhu knew how beautiful her master was, she faced this face every day, but at this moment, she couldn't help but glance at her empress' face.
With such a stunning beauty as your empress, there is no need to compete for favors. Just showing her face in front of the emperor will make the emperor unable to control her, right?
However, the emperor is not an ordinary man, and his concentration must be sufficient.
Although the emperor's heart is now attracted by the mallow, as long as the empress takes action, she will definitely be able to capture the emperor.
She couldn't help but tell the truth to her empress.
Mu Ci burst out laughing when he heard this: "You underestimate the emperor too much."
If Dugu Liancheng was an emperor who was so lustful that he was blinded by lust, then the beauty trap would indeed work, but on the contrary, Dugu Liancheng had a big heart.
Furthermore, if Dugu Liancheng truly loves Mallow, no matter how powerful the beauty trap is, it will not work.
It's just that the drama of competing for favor is still going to happen.
When Mu Ci arrived in front of Yanfu Palace, the guards blocked her way.
In the past, Mu Ci could come and go in and out of Yanfu Palace freely. Today, this phenomenon is unprecedented.
"I'll go and report to you. Please wait a moment!" The guard did not dare to look directly at Mu Ci and hurriedly went inside to report.
Not long after, Li Yu came out to greet the Queen Mother in person, saying with a smile: "I welcome the Queen Mother. This is actually what Mallow meant. She felt that the harem should have its own rules, and even the Queen Mother could not trespass."
Yanfu Palace."
Anyway, it's right to put all the blame on Makui. It was Makui who came up with this bad idea in the first place.
Mu Ci glanced at Li Yu, who nodded and bowed to her, but felt a little scared.
Didn't the empress see something?
"Mallow's status seems to be higher than yours. Will you soon be able to ride on the emperor's head and run wild?" Mu Ci stared at the top of Li Yu's head, and there was no emotion or anger in his voice.
Li Yugan laughed, but really didn't know how to answer the question.
Fortunately, the empress did not continue to embarrass him and entered Yanfu Palace directly.
As soon as he entered Yanfu Palace, Mu Ci noticed something was wrong. In fact, there were no major changes in the palace, but some ingenuity was added, some exquisite furnishings were added, and some flower pots were added.
If she hadn't been familiar with Yanfu Palace, she wouldn't have noticed this subtle change.
Li Yu saw what Mu Ci was thinking and explained to Mu Ci: "This is what Mallow means..."
Mu Ci turned to look at him and saw the careful look on his face, and smiled: "Mallow is very capable. This is the emperor's blessing."
"Your Majesty is right, not only everyone in the Yanfu Palace likes Malva, but also the Emperor -" Alert that he had said the wrong thing, Li Yu slapped his mouth hard: "Isn't this stupid mouth of yours?"
If you can talk, don’t be surprised if your Majesty is strange."
Mu Ci let Li Yu talk and sing to himself, without saying anything else, and went straight to Nuang Pavilion.
As soon as she walked to the Nuan Pavilion, Li Yu raised her voice and said, "The Queen Mother is here!"
Mu Ci simply waited for Li Yuxuan to finish before entering the Nuan Pavilion.
I saw that Mallow was a little farther away from the emperor. Her slightly red cheeks seemed to be doing something shameful just now.
Mu Ci raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the emperor again. He looked serious and there was nothing wrong with him.
"Isn't it the right time for the Ai family to come?" Mu Ci asked funnyly when he saw Mallow standing aside awkwardly.
"What's the matter, Queen Mother?" Dugu Liancheng raised his eyes and met Mu Ci's watery eyes.
He was reviewing the memorial just now, and he didn't see a series of small actions by Mallow.
At this moment, he met Mu Ci's eyes and vaguely saw the searching in her eyes. He was a little puzzled: "Why are you looking at me like this?!"
He moved his eyes downwards and realized that Mu Ci's dress was different from before.
She usually relies on her outstanding appearance and never takes care of herself. Today she has dressed up, so she attracts special attention.
His eyes were fixed on her bulging chest for a moment, and then he looked away as if nothing had happened.
Mu Ci took another look at the blushing Mallow beside him, and suddenly understood something. Mallow was directing and acting on her own, trying to make her misunderstand that the emperor had just promulgated his obscenity in the daytime.
