Chapter 455: His contribution is less than half of what Mu Ci paid
Mu Ci hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and picked up Dugu Liancheng's soup bowl, and helped him get a bowl too: "You are usually busy with government affairs, so you need to take good care of yourself. I tried the soup just now and felt that it was not nourishing enough. So, I
Tomorrow I will stew a cup of soup for you to drink."
Dugu Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but still showed no expression.
Mu Ci was just testing him. Since Dugu Liancheng didn't say anything, it meant that he was following this trick.
After she felt confident, she felt more at ease. While eating by herself, she didn't forget to prepare food for Dugu Liancheng: "I see that you have lost a lot of weight. Do you always stay up late recently? Although you are still young, you are a mature person.
The king of the country, not only for himself, but also for the country of Daxia..."
Mu Ci could not hide her concern for Dugu Liancheng in her words.
A cold smile appeared on Mallow's lips, who was waiting outside the dining room.
It's not that Mu Ci is very capable. The thing that Mu Ci is most proud of is that the emperor cares about her.
When the aloof emperor also has an ordinary heart, it will not be difficult for Mu Ci to regain his favor.
Recently, she has deeply realized the benefits of being in a high position. Before that, she was just a little palace maid in the clothing bureau. Because of Qingle's care, she could live a comfortable life.
But during that period, many people secretly made trouble with her, but she easily resolved them.
The dirty things in the clothes bureau are nothing. Entering the harem is the real battlefield.
Especially when meeting an opponent like Mu Ci, she became even more sure of what kind of outcome would be waiting for her if she failed to succeed.
Thinking of this, she opened the curtain and entered.
"The Queen Mother is such a noble person. The heavy work of serving the Emperor should be done by slaves." Mallow said, and went to stand next to the Emperor.
This is to remind the emperor that he is still in the cold war with Mu Ci. At this time, he must not be led by Mu Ci, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage.
Dugu Liancheng pursed his lips tightly, suddenly feeling that all the delicacies on the table were bland and tasteless.
"You're here just in time. The Ai family has just been tired of serving the emperor, so you can provide food for the Ai family." Mu Ci looked at Mallow without smiling.
Mallow's scalp was numb when Mu Ci looked at her. She felt as if she had been stripped of all her clothes by Mu Ci. However, she could not be afraid.
"Yes, empress." Mallow replied respectfully.
She stood next to Mu Ci and served Mu Ci with a respectful attitude.
"Don't just look after the Aijia. The emperor especially cannot ignore it..." Mu Ci said, sighing softly: "You don't even know how to serve others. The emperor has spoiled you. You stand down and the Aijia will take care of it.
"
Mallow had a clever mouth, but with a few words from Mu Ci, she was sent away.
So, only Mu Ci and Dugu Liancheng were left at the dining table.
Mu Ci had never been so attentive to Dugu Liancheng before. To be precise, she had never been so kind to Dugu Liancheng since her rebirth.
But preparing food for Dugu Liancheng was really not a problem for her, because she had figured out Dugu Liancheng's preferences in her previous life and knew what dishes he liked to eat.
At first, Dugu Liancheng didn't notice this detail, but when he discovered that the dishes Mu Ci was eating were all his favorite dishes, his eyes darkened a little.
Next, he observed carefully and found that Mu Ci was very skillful in preparing the dishes for him, and every dish he brought was his favorite. This was not his illusion.
I always thought she didn't care about him, but now it seems that's not the case. At least she remembers his eating habits.
In the entire harem, there is no woman who knows his preferences as well as Mu Ci, right?
"Are you full?" Mu Ci asked with raised eyebrows when he saw that Dugu Liancheng stopped eating.
Dugu Liancheng nodded silently: "I'm full. Whatever you like to eat, I'll give you food."
Speaking of which, he didn't seem to even know her food preferences or what colors she liked. The only thing he knew was that she was a little interested in medical books, but that time he ordered Mallow to throw away all the medical books she loved.
The favor he showed her seemed to be a lot, but in fact it was very empty.
In the past, he felt that he was different from Mu Ci, but now he realized that it was nothing more than that.
He never chased Mu Ci like Mu Ci, nor did he give sincerely like Mu Ci.
Instead, he made things difficult for Mu Ci, embarrassed her verbally, and forced her to become his woman.
What he paid was less than half of what she paid.
Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng doubtfully and saw that he didn't seem to be joking: "I'm not picky about food."
As long as it's delicious, she likes it.
"I remember that you like to eat snowflake cakes." Dugu Liancheng murmured silently.
Mu Ci didn't know how Dugu Liancheng was feeling at the moment, but he was willing to talk to her. Does this mean that he was no longer angry with her?
"What do you like to eat on this table?" Dugu Liancheng asked.
"I'm already full and can't eat anything." Mu Ci shook his head.
Dugu Liancheng no longer forced himself. He stepped forward and took Mu Ci's hand: "Don't force yourself when you're full."
He was about to lead Mu Ci out of the dining room when he suddenly remembered that there was someone missing.
As soon as he turned around, Wu Meiren immediately lowered her head, fearing that she would be missed by Long Live Lord again. The wooden board filled with iron nails in the bunker looked so scary that she couldn't bear it.
"Wu Meiren has served you well today and is specially named Jieyu." Dugu Liancheng quickly issued an oral order.
Wu Meiren - no, from now on, she is Wu Jieyu. She did not expect that she would be a blessing in disguise, so she knelt down to accept the order and thank her.
Wu Jieyu was truly happy for Mu Ci as she respectfully sent the Emperor and the Queen Mother away hand in hand.
The Queen Mother is so talented that she has been ignored by the Emperor for more than a month. Now that she has just met the Emperor, she has solved the knot in the Emperor's heart, and she has benefited from it.
Originally, she didn't think there was anything wrong with being a beauty, but after experiencing this battle, she knew that if she wanted to survive in the harem, she still had to have sufficient status.
It is impossible for the Queen Mother to arrive in time to save her every time, so if she can not hold back the Queen Mother, she must make a difference on her own.
She was about to leave the dining room, but found that Mallow was still here.
There was no hint of happiness or anger in Mallow's expression, but the return of the Queen Mother's favor would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Mallow.
After Wu Jieyu left, Mallow walked out of the dining room with heavy steps.
She never expected that the emperor would forgive Mu Ci so easily after neglecting him for so long.
She doesn't even know what the problem is.
It was clear that the emperor was still unwilling to talk to Mu Ci during the meal. Why did the emperor suddenly take the initiative to talk to Mu Ci after Mu Ci served the emperor with dishes?
Mu Ci's return to favor was too fast, and she still had many things to plan before she could, and now she was caught off guard by Mu Ci's return to favor.
In addition, Mu Ci is the Queen Mother, so it will be easy for Mu Ci to deal with her next.
She had to seize the opportunity and become the emperor's woman, so that she could have the capital to fight against Mu Ci.
