Chapter 556: Sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth
Mu Ci responded with a smile.
Isn't that what the harem is like? It's the norm to have a red top and a white one.
Although Liu Jieyu was also a third-grade concubine, she was nothing as long as she was not favored by the emperor.
Yesterday, Dugu Liancheng came to Cuiwei Palace twice, both times to the West Wing Hall where Liu Jieyu lived. As soon as the news spread, everyone felt that this was Liu Jieyu's plan to seize favor and ascend to the throne.
Let me ask such an opponent, who dares not to value three points?
Liu Jieyu has been in the palace for more than a year, and she should be happy to finally receive the emperor's favor.
But Mu Ci couldn't be happy at the moment, because after the morning court, Dugu Liancheng came again.
He still didn't look at her, and kept talking to Liu Jieyu about insignificant daily topics. Later, Dugu Liancheng wanted to review the excerpts and wanted to return to Yanfu Palace.
But Li Yu said that the zhezi had been brought over, and the emperor could stay in Cuiwei Palace to review the zhezi with peace of mind.
Dugu Liancheng seemed to think that Li Yu's words made sense, so he stopped running back and forth and found a place in the hall to review the notes.
Mu Ci saw this scene from a distance and knew that the situation was not optimistic.
Liu Jieyu also felt very complicated.
She really wanted to go and serve the pen and ink in person, but it was hard to guess what the emperor was thinking. It seemed that the emperor came to see her frequently because Xiaoqu was by her side.
If she doesn't push Xiaoqu out to serve the emperor, what will happen if the emperor never comes again?
She understood that it was not easy for her to reach this point, and she could not afford to lose, so even if she wanted to show her face in front of the emperor again, she still held back.
Seeing this, Xiangqiao whispered: "Master, aren't you making wedding clothes for others?"
At this time, the master should push Xiao Qu away and quickly compete for favor.
"The Emperor is here for Xiaoqu, what can I do?" Liu Jieyu also frowned.
"My slave, I don't think so. There is no need for the master to take advantage of himself. Let's do this. The master will serve in front of the emperor, and Xiaoqu will do the work on the side. Otherwise, the cart will be put before the horse." Xiangqiao gave Liu Jieyu an idea.
Liu Jieyu thought this was a solution, but she still hesitated: "Is this good?"
She was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy.
"Master, listen to me. The Emperor has finally come. Master, you must seize the opportunity to go to bed. Don't let Xiaoqu take the lead." Xiangqiao encouraged.
Liu Jieyu thought so.
She mustered up her courage, stepped forward and said to Mu Ci: "If you are tired, go down below to rest for a while. I will take care of you, Your Majesty."
Mu Ci didn't get what he asked for: "Yes, Master."
She was about to retreat, but Liu Jieyu whispered again: "Don't go too far, we are always at your disposal."
While she was talking, she secretly glanced at the emperor.
The emperor seemed to be carefully reviewing the excerpts and did not notice the movement on their side, which made her sigh in relief.
Mu resigned to the door curtain. Later, when she saw that Dugu Liancheng was not looking at her, she quietly walked outside the door curtain and waited.
Finally standing where Dugu Liancheng couldn't see her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiangqiao happened to see this scene and her eyes steadied.
Isn't Xiaoqu unwilling to serve the emperor? If ordinary people have the opportunity to serve the emperor, they still can't seize the opportunity? How come Xiaoqu does the opposite?
When Xiaoqu first came here, she really didn't like him. These days, she saw that Xiaoqu behaved himself and didn't show off when the emperor was around, which made her change her mind a bit.
Even so, she must always keep an eye on Xiao Qu and not let her hold her master back.
During dinner time, Dugu Liancheng stayed here. Finally, Li Yu suggested that Dugu Liancheng stay here.
Mu Ci couldn't help but prick up his ears and eavesdrop, wondering how Dugu Liancheng would answer.
If she wasn't suspicious, Li Yu kept looking at her, which was not a good sign.
Li Yu often did this kind of thing in the past, wishing he could send her to the dragon bed in Dugu Liancheng all the time.
Thinking of the past, she couldn't help but get distracted.
When she came to her senses, she found that Liu Jieyu was happily going to make arrangements.
Is Dugu Liancheng planning to stay here?
"Master Liu, just make room in the Nuan Pavilion for the Emperor to stay. The Emperor will also review the papers at night." Li Yu said to Liu Jieyu again.
At this time, the smile on Liu Jieyu's face became a little frozen.
She thought that if the emperor stayed, she would have the opportunity to sleep with him. Otherwise, what benefits would she get if the emperor stayed with her?
Mu Ci's face didn't look very good either. She was afraid that things were not that simple. She even suspected that Li Yu was trying to trick her again.
The fact was that she was not careless. Next, Li Yu said to Liu Jieyu: "Master Liu, just go and do your work. It is enough for the emperor to have Xiaoqu by his side."
Mu Ci stood with her eyes lowered, and she could feel the strange looks Liu Jieyu and Xiangqiao had on her.
What happened next was not what Mu Ci expected.
Dugu Liancheng was reviewing memorials in the Nuan Pavilion. She was studying ink on the side, and she always felt like she was sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the soft couch not far away, feeling uneasy.
Li Yu's purpose was only not written on his face. He even gave her special instructions to serve Dugu Liancheng well, but he only asked her to flatter Dugu Liancheng without being explicit.
The only good thing is that this was all Li Yu's own initiative, and Dugu Liancheng didn't seem to even be interested in looking at her.
Does this mean there is no need for her to be nervous?
Even so, when she stood next to Dugu Liancheng, she still tensed up, fearing that an accident would happen at any time...
Cuiwei Palace, the main hall.
After the palace attendant Yingdong inquired about the situation in the West Wing Hall, he immediately ran to Concubine De and reported: "The Emperor has already stayed in the West Wing Hall."
That Liu Jieyu did have some tricks, otherwise the emperor would not have been able to stay in the West Wing Hall.
Li Waner frowned slightly: "The emperor stayed?"
Yingdong quietly looked at his mistress and felt that the empress was not only outstanding in appearance, but also had a unique scholarly temperament that was unique in the palace.
Such a good Concubine, she can't compare to the one in the West Wing Hall? This doesn't make sense.
"It spread all over the harem because Liu Jieyu found a palace maid who was similar to the Queen Mother to compete for his favor. After the emperor met him yesterday, he went there twice, and today he stayed directly in the West Wing Hall. This shows that
Liu Jieyu has found the right person." Yingdong thought for a while and then said: "Should we find a way to get that palace maid over?"
In this case, the emperor will come to the empress. How can he still remember Liu Jieyu?
"There's no need to mention this kind of thing again." Li Waner's voice was calm.
"Don't you want to catch the emperor?" Yingdong expressed confusion.
Li Waner put down the half-read book: "Even if I ask for someone and the Emperor comes, the person the Emperor wants is not me, and the person he wants is not me. For me, this is
What's the benefit? Liu Jieyu's move is nothing more than making wedding clothes for others."
