After thinking about this, Mu Ci became more and more certain about one thing: Mallow was very scheming.
Mallow deliberately wanted to embarrass her, and also wanted her to retreat.
If she cared about the emperor very much and had a strong desire for domination, and had just come in today, she would have been beaten away by Malkui's move.
In her previous life, Malkui would have easily defeated her with this move.
It's a pity that Mallow's moves don't work on her in this life.
"You're busy with your business, I'm not in a hurry." Mu Ci looked at the memorial on the table, which was as high as a hill, and seemed to have something to say.
Dugu Liancheng was indeed extremely busy.
It was rare that Mu Ci took the initiative to come to him. He felt that she had made some progress, but she was still a little behind what he expected.
If this woman is really softened by him, that would be a gratifying thing.
"You take a medical book and read it to pass the time. If not, you can help me grind ink." Dugu Liancheng said and continued to work.
Mu Ci returned to the seat where he had been sitting before, but found no medical books.
"Where did the medical books go?" Mu Ci looked at Mallow and asked.
Needless to say, it was Mallow who collected all the medical books she had read before.
"My slave saw that the medical books were scattered here, so she put them away." Mallow lowered her head and avoided Mu Ci's gaze.
It wasn't that Mu Ci's gaze was so sharp, but it was as if he could see through her little thoughts.
"Don't touch the Ai family's things in the future!" Mu Ci said every word.
Mallow's hand stretched out longer and longer. This palace maid was more powerful than Biqiao in more ways than one. Mallow was subtly trying to change everything around the emperor.
"Yes, I can spare the trouble, slave." Mallow responded, and then moved the medical books that Mu Ci usually read back to their original places.
Mu Ci leaned on the chaise longue and passed the time reading medical books.
Mallow still stood beside Dugu Liancheng, occasionally glancing at Mu Ci who was leisurely and contented, and occasionally looking at the emperor who was focused on handling government affairs.
The two of them seemed to have no interference with each other, and were unexpectedly harmonious and warm.
She stood in the middle, as if she was the redundant one.
Mallow asked unwillingly: "Your Majesty, are you tired? Why don't you have a cup of hot tea first?"
Dugu Liancheng didn't answer, his eyes never left the memorial.
Mallow glanced in the direction of Mu Ci again and said, "Empress Dowager, do you want some tea?"
Dugu Liancheng then raised his head and looked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci happened to look over and said to Mallow, "Go get some fruit."
Mallow responded and exited Nuan Pavilion.
She quickly entered the Nuan Pavilion again and handed the fruit to Mu Ci.
"You are not good at serving others. You should prepare snacks such as fruits and snacks early in the morning even without the master's instructions. Biyu doesn't need Aijia to ask. You should learn from Biyu." Mu.
Ci seized the opportunity and admonished Mallow.
"What the empress is saying is that the emperor usually indulges his slaves too much, and the slaves become lazy without knowing it." Mallow's attitude was respectful, but there was something hidden in her words.
"It seems that it belongs to the emperor." Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng, who was immersed in handling government affairs.
The corners of Dugu Liancheng's lips rose, but he didn't answer.
Malkui is a good talker, and she is very powerful at being able to fight back when Mu Ci talks.
"The Emperor is considerate of the slaves. It's not the Emperor's fault, but the slaves who are too big or too small and have no sense of proportion. What the Empress Dowager taught me is that I will learn from Sister Biyu in the future." Mallow accepts it when she sees it, so as not to follow him in front of the Emperor.
Mu Ci can't get through it.
Mu Ci smiled half-heartedly, and suddenly suggested to Dugu Liancheng: "The emperor likes mallow very much, right?"
Dugu Liancheng didn't know what Mu Ci meant when he said this, so he finally put down the memorial in his hand and met Mu Ci's gaze.
Mu Ci picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly: "There have been many rumors in the palace recently, saying that the emperor loved Mallow so much that he was reluctant to let Mallow stay too far away even when he went to court.
Woolen cloth."
Dugu Liancheng raised his beautiful eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips: "Really?"
Jin Kui also didn't expect that Mu Ci would tell this matter. Could it be that Mu Ci thought she was charming and seduced the emperor and wanted the emperor to punish her?
Just as she was in a state of confusion, she heard Mu Ci say again: "Emperor, what do you think?"
Dugu Liancheng glanced at Mallow standing next to him, and replied slowly: "Mallow is smart and smart, and she is indeed deeply loved by me."
"Originally, the Ai family should not comment on which woman the emperor wants to favor, but it is different with the palace maids. If the emperor really loves Mallow so much, he might as well give Mallow a title, so that when he serves the emperor, it will be justified. Otherwise, the people of the world
You would think that Malkui is a witch who confuses the emperor's heart, and her heart is not right." Mu Ci then got to the point.
Instead of letting Mallow stay by the emperor's side all the time, it would be better to let Mallow enter the harem in Dugu Liancheng, so that Mallow would have fewer opportunities to cause trouble in front of the emperor.
Dugu Liancheng looked at Mu Ci intently, not thinking that this was what she had in mind.
She was very generous and stuffed Mallow into his harem, and she had no intention of being jealous at all.
"Is this what the Queen Mother thinks?" Dugu Liancheng raised his thin lips slightly.
"The Ai family is also for the emperor's good. It is not good for an innocent girl in Mallow to follow the emperor without any reason. If the emperor really loves Mallow, he should give Mallow enough respect." Mu Ci.
He said again slowly.
Mallow was frightened at first, but after hearing this, she suddenly stopped worrying.
Whether she enters the harem and becomes the emperor's woman, or continues to be the emperor's minister, she has nothing to lose.
On the contrary, Mu Ci unintentionally offended the emperor without knowing it.
There were times when Mu Ci was confused. He didn't know the emperor's intentions until now, so he said such nonsense.
For someone as proud as the Emperor, he would definitely be angered by Mu Ci.
It's just that who is the emperor? No matter how angry he is, he doesn't show it on the surface and seems to have no emotions.
However, Mallow knew that the emperor was not happy at the moment.
"There is no place in the harem suitable for her, unless Weiyang Palace is given to her. Before that, I don't want to wrong Mallow." Dugu Liancheng said in a cool tone.
No matter how calm Mu Ci was, he was shocked by Dugu Liancheng's words.
Why is mallow so popular with the emperor?
Before, she had always felt that the emperor's love for Mallow was not real, but now she saw that the relationship between the emperor and Mallow seemed like a daily routine between a superior and a subordinate.
The emperor's words forced her to believe that Mallow had won the emperor's heart.
In this case, it would be a bit difficult to handle.
Mu Ci pondered for a moment and then said: "In that case, let her continue to be the imperial minister. However, the emperor should still take care of what he should do to avoid being criticized. It doesn't matter that the emperor is in a high position, but Jin Kui is just a palace maid, so it is inevitable
