Chapter 711: The Empress Dowager Mu, who is kind-hearted and soft-hearted
Tao Meiren's face flashed with embarrassment.
She always forgets that Mu Ci is no longer a beauty of the same status as her, and the words she just said just came out naturally.
The fact is that Mu Ci is already the ninth concubine and is pregnant with an imperial heir.
"Master Tao always lives in the past. This harem is always changing. Our mother-in-law was a beauty before, and now she is Xiuyi. She will also become the fourth lady in the future. Of course, my mother-in-law may be..."
Before Yingchun finished speaking, Sizhu scolded: "Yingchun, although Empress Xiuyi has such strength, we still have to keep a low profile. Have you forgotten the teaching just now?"
Yingchun made a sign of realization: "Yes, yes, my sister has taught me the lesson. We must learn from Xiuyi Empress and be more low-key."
When Mu Ci saw them singing in harmony and treating Tao Meiren as if they were nothing, he somehow sympathized with Tao Meiren.
Tao Meiren's moral character is really not good enough, otherwise she would not have been so angry that her two maids could not speak.
This Shukong is ambitious, but her IQ is not up to par. This is a flaw.
Of course Tao Meiren didn't know what Mu Ci thought of her. She looked at Cixin from time to time, wanting Cixin to act, but Cixin always lowered her head.
So she pinched her compassion secretly.
Ci Xin was like a frightened little animal, almost jumping up.
When Mu Ci saw this scene, he didn't know what to think. People like Cixin obviously knew not to do anything to harm her, but Tao Meiren only thought about the immediate interests and didn't care about whether she would be implicated if the matter failed.
"Ci Xin, what's wrong with you? You don't look well." Mu Ci looked at Ci Xin with concern.
Ci Xin raised her head in panic, but did not dare to look into Mu Ci's eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Ci said to her softly: "If you have any grievances, just mention it to me, and I can help you. If you are wronged by Tao Meiren, or Tao Meiren asks you to do something that hurts me.
You can also complain to the emperor about the matter."
As soon as Mu Ci said this, Tao Meiren immediately said loudly: "Mu Xiuyi, what do you mean?"
Seeing how angry she was, Mu Ci replied lazily: "What I mean is very simple. You are forcing Ci Xin to do something you don't want to do."
Ci Xin blushed when she heard this: "No, it's nothing. Empress Xiu Yi misunderstood."
"You don't need to be afraid of Tao Meiren. With me here, I am willing to support you. If you no longer want to serve Tao Meiren, that's okay..."
Before Mu Ci finished speaking, Ci Xin knelt down and said, "I don't dare, my master is Tao Meiren. I don't dare to think about it. Empress Xiuyi is worrying too much."
Even if she leaves Tao Meiren, where can she go on duty, and is it better than staying with Tao Meiren? As palace maids, their choices are limited, and not every palace maiden is as blessed as Yingchun and them.
She could see the situation clearly and did not dare to have any delusions.
Although Tao Meiren is usually a bit mean, she doesn't beat or scold her servants at all times. This is also her blessing.
Seeing Ci Xin's frightened look, Mu Ci knew that his hand was stretched too far.
"It seems that I am taking too much care. It's okay, you can get up." Mu Ci said, then looked at Tao Meiren, whose face was livid: "Tao Meiren, come with me for a walk!"
Her tone was commanding, just like the tone Tao Meiren used to order her just now.
Tao Meiren's face was ugly. She glanced at Ci Xin and then looked at Mu Ci, but she met Mu Ci's cold eyes.
Mu Ci's glance seemed to see through all her dark thoughts, making her feel guilty.
There has never been a moment when Tao Mei felt as inferior to herself as she does now.
The aura that Mu Ci exuded just now made her breathless. In the past, she only thought that Mu Ci had an attractive face, and the emperor only liked Mu Ci because she was good-looking.
But at that moment, she felt the coercion emanating from Mu Ci, which was exactly the same as the aura emanating from the emperor.
She followed Mu Ci unknowingly, but she no longer had the arrogance she had before.
"The scenery in this harem is really beautiful, but how many people can make it to the end? Beigong is the newly promoted cold palace. I have been there more than once and sent away many people. They were all magnificent and beautiful women.
People will inevitably end up with the same fate." Mu Ci said, glancing at Tao Meiren, and his voice became colder: "I have softened my heart a lot recently and will not kill easily, but if I really want to kill a few people,
I can still do this."
Tao Meiren’s teeth chattered, and she didn’t know whether she was angry or afraid.
Regarding the rumors about Empress Dowager Mu, how many people have entered the harem? At that time, except for a few people who were not attacked by Empress Dowager Mu, the others were all fought by Empress Dowager Mu.
Even the eldest prince's biological mother, Le Jieyu, was killed by Empress Dowager Mu.
All the anecdotes about the harem can be found out with just a little inquiry. However, when she entered the palace, Empress Dowager Mu was living in the cold palace, so she naturally had no chance to meet Empress Dowager Mu.
Later, the feud with Mu Ci was brought up as the battle at the Plum Appreciation Party. At that time, she didn't know that Mu Ci was the Queen Mother Mu, but she started to hate this woman.
Whether it was consciously or unconsciously, she never associated Mu Ci with the Queen Mother Mu, as if she would have a chance to defeat Mu Ci.
But in fact, they didn't regard her as an opponent at all, right?
What else Mu Ci said after that, Tao Meiren couldn't hear a word of it.
When Mu Ci led her four maids away, she still stood there unable to recover.
"Master..." Ci Xin was a little worried when she saw Tao Meiren's lost look.
Tao Meiren slumped her shoulders: "Just now I suddenly realized something. I can never be Mu Ci's opponent."
There is nothing about her that can compare to Mu Ci. Whether it is power, appearance, kindness, luck or means, she is inferior to Mu Ci in everything. Before that, she even tried to remove the flesh and blood from Mu Ci's belly.
"You can't say what's going to happen in the future. Master, don't be too quick to lose heart." Cixin comforted her with a few words of sincerity.
In fact, she had understood this a long time ago, but the master had a deep hatred for Mu Ci and could not listen to her subtle hints.
Today's battle may be a good thing. Maybe the master just looks away and doesn't overestimate his own abilities again.
Or maybe the master got worse and continued to hate Mu Ci. After all, there was no telling what would happen in the future. She hoped this was a good start.
"Of course I won't be discouraged. I can't beat her now, but I will have a chance in the future because I am younger than her!" Tao Meiren finally found some confidence.
Compassion was speechless for a moment.
Mu Ci is only twenty this year, at the age of a flower. His master is two or three years younger than Mu Ci. What advantage can this be considered?
Why doesn't the master say that Mu Ci's appearance is the most outstanding in this harem?
But she didn't dare to tell these truths, so she could only echo them cautiously.
