"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions." Biyu replied respectfully.
Mu Ci was originally just testing, but when she saw Biyu was so cheerful, she said with an unclear smile: "You didn't ask what it was about first?"
"Your Majesty is considerate of this slave and will not make it too difficult for me." Biyu quickly glanced at Mu Ci.
Is it possible that what the empress wants her to do is difficult?
Mu Ci laughed: "You are wrong, the Ai family is not a considerate master. Recently, the emperor often runs to Yong'an Palace, which affects his rest time. What the Ai family means is that there are so many concubines in the harem, and the emperor should go there more
Walk around the harem."
Biyu is now the imperial minister, so it is normal for her to say a few words to the emperor.
When Biyu heard this, her shoulders suddenly dropped: "I'm a humble servant, and it's not my place to comment on matters related to sleeping in the harem. This matter should be discussed with the emperor in person. I'm sorry that I can't help you."
Sure enough.
The other masters only wanted the emperor's favor, but the Queen Mother only wanted to push the emperor to other concubines. This would make the emperor unhappy again if he knew about it.
"The Ai family thinks you can speak well in front of the emperor." Mu Ci said this from the bottom of his heart.
Biyu knows the rules, knows how to advance and retreat, and thinks of the emperor in everything, so she wants Biyu to give some advice to the emperor. This is also for the sake of the emperor and the royal family.
Who would have thought that Biyu would still be unwilling to advise the emperor. This was unexpected and expected, and it only shows that Biyu knows how to behave appropriately.
"A slave is just a slave, and it is my duty to serve my master well. As for the emperor's backyard affairs, if I interfere, it will be an overstep." Biyu lowered her head and answered.
"Forget it, if you say that, the Ai family won't be able to give you any problems." Mu Ci said, and then murmured to himself: "It has been almost two years since the emperor ascended the throne, and the harem is so empty. Shouldn't we fill it with people?
"
She didn't mean to target the emperor's harem.
It turns out that she thought simply, if others don't offend me, I won't offend others.
It was Zhao Ling and others who kept framing her, so she fought back. Who knew that after she took action, the emperor's harem became increasingly empty, which turned out to be her fault.
When Biyu heard Mu Ci's words, she frowned and replied: "It's better not to take your words from the Emperor. The Emperor doesn't like to hear these things."
Mu Ci thought for a moment and felt that Biyu's words made sense.
To find a suitable person to give advice to the emperor, she thought that Prince Ling'an or Gu Zhiqing would be good candidates. Both of them were trusted ministers of the emperor and could speak well in front of the emperor.
After going to court the next day, Sizhu stopped Dugu Lianqi in time.
Dugu Lianqi had not seen Mu Ci for several days. When he heard that Mu Ci was looking for him, he immediately became interested and went to Yong'an Palace.
Mu Ci met Dugu Lianqi in the main hall.
"The emperor's harem is now empty, and there is still one year until the triennial draft. The Ai family wants to go to the harem and let some beautiful girls into the palace before then."
Dugu Lianqi was extremely surprised. He never expected that Mu Ci was going to add someone to the imperial brother's harem.
He knew everything about Mu Ci and the emperor's brother, and he would not dare to mention it in front of the emperor's brother on weekdays.
But this time, it was Mu Ci who took the initiative to make suggestions. Does this mean that Mu Ci knows how to advance and retreat?
"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so the number of heirs is so small. This is the most practical problem. It is not easy for the Ai family to discuss this matter with the emperor. After thinking about it, I still feel that your words have more weight than the Ai family. So, you
You can go to Lord Attendant Gu, who is the emperor's favorite minister. If you two jointly submit the report, the emperor should be able to listen." Mu Ci said again.
Dugu Lianqi looked at Mu Ci with complicated eyes: "Isn't the emperor's sister-in-law jealous?"
The other concubines in the harem wished that the emperor's brother could pamper them exclusively, but why was Mu Ci just the opposite? She was also thinking of ways to add people to the emperor's harem.
Or is it that Mu Ci is sure that she has an outstanding position in the emperor's heart and that no one else will be a threat to her?
"The Ai family and the emperor are not like that. King Ling'an, the Ai family knows that you don't like to see the Ai family and the emperor entangled. You should have taken care of this matter long ago. So adding new people to the harem is the most effective way. You can
By diverting the emperor's attention, you can rest assured about the Ai family." Mu Ci said with a straight face.
Dugu Lianqi was silent for a moment, then stood up and said goodbye: "I will do this. But I'm not sure whether it will be as the emperor's sister-in-law wishes." After Dugu Lianqi finished speaking, he handed over and left.
Two days later, Dugu Liancheng was invited by Dugu Liangqi to stay one night at the Prince's Mansion in Ling'an.
Dugu Liancheng's first reaction was whether he should take Mu Ci out of the palace to stay for one night. Dugu Liancheng immediately guessed what Dugu Liancheng was thinking: "Brother, please don't take Mu Ci with you. Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has not yet visited his brother.
This is the first time that I have stayed in the prince's palace for a while, so please don't think about Mu Ci, okay?"
When Dugu Liancheng saw what he said, he had to give up the idea.
That night, accompanied by Gu Zhiqing, Dugu Liancheng left the palace in the evening.
Ling'an Prince's Mansion is only one mile away from the Imperial Palace, so it can be considered a very close residence to the Imperial Palace.
Dugu Liancheng didn't take it seriously at first. Although it was a short stay, he still had to discuss some political matters. But later, maikos appeared, and they all looked beautiful.
Dugu Lianqi was flanked by two beautiful girls, and Gu Zhiqing was flanked by two more.
Dugu Liancheng sat in the first seat, surrounded by beauties.
These beauties are all beautiful in their own way, ranging from plump to thin.
It's not like Dugu Liancheng has never seen such obvious flattery before. This time Dugu Lianqi did it so obviously that it was hard for him not to see it.
It seems that King Ling'an had ulterior motives for asking him to stay here for a while today.
"Brother, I wish you a toast!" Dugu Lianqi said and raised his glass to Dugu Liancheng.
Dugu Liancheng watched him drink it all in one gulp, but made no move himself.
"This is the best daughter's red. Isn't it to the emperor's taste?" Dugu Liancheng prayed, and his heart pounded when he saw that Dugu Liancheng refused to drink.
Could it be that the emperor saw something?
Dugu Liancheng glanced at the various beauties with different styles, and replied in a low voice: "You drink with them, I can't bear the power of wine."
He has never been fond of drinking. It is not a good thing. The same is true for wine and women.
Although he trusted King Ling'an, these two things were put together tonight, which was worthy of scrutiny.
Dugu Lianqi turned to look at Gu Zhiqing and winked at him.
They clearly agreed that the emperor's brother would get drunk in the beauty land tonight, why didn't Gu Zhiqing say anything?
Gu Zhiqing pretended not to see Dugu Lianqi's hint.
He was not very interested in Dugu Lianqi's idea because he had met Mu Ci and knew the emperor's temperament.
If she is not a special enough woman, she will never be able to catch the eye of the emperor.
There is never a shortage of beautiful women around the emperor, and no matter how beautiful the beauties Dugu Lianqi finds are, they may not be able to catch the emperor's eye.
