Chapter 221: Competing for Favor

Longhua Palace, once the emperor's bedroom, after about two years of transformation, has now become the residence of these people who have been included in the palace and become the head of the face.

Because he was in the limelight during the day, Mu Xize at this moment was obedient and well-behaved like a little sheep that had just been weaned, and completely obeyed the arrangement of the steward eunuch without saying a word. Of course, these stewards and eunuchs also include Gonggong Xu.

Gonggong Xu never thought that he would meet their empress for the first time, and this beautiful young man who seemed to be weak and honest would stand out among more than 100 people and become a corner that everyone was jealous of.

No matter what others think, Gonggong Xu's heart is happy, even though he has served diligently in the palace for more than 30 years, Gonggong Xu still can't hide the joy overflowing in his heart at this moment.

"Hehe, little boy, I'll just say that I've never been wrong when I look at people. Your performance today is nothing short of perfect!"

Father-in-law Xu laughed while patting Mu Xize on the shoulder, and when he said the end, he was still emotional, and his voice seemed to be out of tune.

Mu Xize knows that it is always bad to be too good in everything, and if he occupies the limelight like this today, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of other faces who want to please Ye Ningxiang, as well as the dissatisfaction of the high-ranking officials and magnates behind the faces, so that the road ahead will be difficult after all.

"It's not perfect, it's too much but it's true. ”

The seeds of hope that finally sprouted, and Gonggong Xu didn't want to die early, so he smiled and comforted Mu Xize against his will: "Overdone? How can you go overboard! You behaved just right, I think the emperor has already thought about you." ”

Gonggong Xu was still smiling, and the undying smile made the atmosphere even a little awkward. Mu Xize didn't rush to ask questions first, but just looked at Gonggong Xu quietly, waiting for Gonggong Xu to say what he was embarrassed to say.

"That...... Our family knows that our family's request is a bit excessive, but our family still can't help but say, if the little prince inherits the holy favor in the future, don't forget my Bole! ”

Hearing the word Ma Zhong, Mu Xize's heart trembled violently again, although he tried his best to hide it, he felt a stinging sensation that hurt into the bone marrow spread from his heart to his whole body, giving him the illusion of numbness and stiffness all over his body.

Since the Southwest Mine saved Ma Zhong as Mu Bai, he has not seen Ma Zhong for eighteen or nineteen years. Although he had been cultivating in Qingming Mountain all these years, Mu Xize still got a lot of information about Ma Zhong from Gu Liancheng's letters.

At that time, the little eunuch who was not well-known, and there were some lazy and eccentric little eunuchs somehow opened up, not only did his ability to serve people increase greatly, but even dealt with complicated matters in the palace was also the first way, and in a few years, he jumped from the personal little eunuch beside the emperor to the chief manager of the highest grade in the Darui Palace.

At first, Mu Xize was full of joy in his heart, but it wasn't until he returned to Yingdu that he learned that his relative-like subordinate was terminally ill, and now he was hanging with a breath, maybe he would die one day.

Mu Xize came back to his senses after Gonggong Xu called the little boy twice, in order to alleviate the doubts in Gonggong Xu's heart, he grinned at the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice, "What else is the matter with Gonggong Xu?"

"Little boy, you still need to take a bath and change your clothes before going to Changle Palace to meet the emperor. ”

Anyway, he was also from the prince's background, Mu Xize had long expected that he would come out to take a bath and change clothes before the face saint, but he didn't expect that these simple four words would actually be so cumbersome to do.

The huge bath is surrounded by gold bricks, and the frame of this special bathing palace is made of a very rare agarwood from Yelang County, and even if the bath is full of steam, it cannot stop the refreshing aroma of the agarwood.

The bath water also seems to be specially made, and the rough skin becomes tender and smooth as soon as you enter the water, and even a man will become like a newborn baby when he enters the water.

Mu Xize stood respectfully next to the bath with two columns of eunuchs, the eunuchs held different kinds of drinks in their hands, as long as Mu Xize made a gesture, the little eunuch would respectfully take the drink and come to Mu Xize to feed him personally.

Mu Xize complained about Ye Ningxiang's extravagance and waste, but on the other hand, he unconsciously enjoyed all the preferential treatment he should get as a favored face. With his eyes closed, he almost fell asleep in the pool. The little eunuch standing on the side was extremely anxious in his heart, and they all looked at me and I looked at you, and finally selected a bold eunuch, patting Mu Xize on the shoulder, while reminding him that time was running out.

Mu Xize got up unhurriedly, but he panicked because of the style of clothes he was about to wear.

"You're just going to let me wear this? this...... Can this also be called clothes?"

The little eunuchs lowered their heads and replied in unison: "This is the rule, and I hope that the little boy will not embarrass the slaves." ”

Mu Xize was helpless, smiled bitterly and put on the clothes that were as thin as cicada wings, translucent, and completely showed the lines of the human body, full of temptation.

Fortunately, Mu Xize, who was dressed in this extremely seductive dress, was stuffed into a sedan chair and transported to Changle Palace, and did not let more palace people see his almost stripped body.

In the study room of Changle Palace, the lights were extremely bright, and Ye Ningxiang was sitting on the main seat and reading the folds attentively. On her right hand side is a beautiful man who looks not much worse than Mu Xize and is about twenty years old. This beautiful man has probably been spoiled by Ye Ningxiang for some days, and now he is very bold to grind Ye Ningxiang.

On Ye Ningxiang's left hand side is a young man who looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with good looks but not stunning.

Although it is not hot in Changle Palace, this beautiful young man is actually fanning Ye Ningxiang, but his movement speed is slower than that of a sloth. Probably because he really couldn't find any work, and he didn't want to do nothing, he forced himself to find such a job that was too much, but fortunately, Ye Ningxiang concentrated on reviewing the folds and didn't care about what this young man did.

This was the scene Mu Xize saw when he entered the study, and his hot heart instantly fell to the freezing point. He originally thought that Ye Ningxiang had spent so much effort to bathe him and put him in such reverie-inducing clothes, just to want to have something to do with him, but he never expected that Ye Ningxiang was actually criticizing and folding, and there were two faces beside her who had arrived a long time earlier than him.

Ye Ningxiang saw Mu Xize enter the study and knelt down to greet him, maybe his brain was immersed in government affairs and could not be withdrawn, so he asked before Mu Xize spoke, "What's your name?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Xize's full of fire was instantly poured so that there was no smoke left, he held back his anger, and said with a pleasant face: "Under Xiaomu." ”

How can this be true, Ye Ningxiang, a stinky woman, only asked his name during the day, but I don't remember it this night, what does this mean? It shows that she Ye Ningxiang didn't take him to heart at all, and that kind of outrageous behavior during the day has no special meaning, it's just that Mu Xize thinks about it a lot.

"Oh, yes, yes, Kogi. ”

Ye Ningxiang patted her head, she had a feeling of sudden realization, a rare smile appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice: "I'm still busy, you can go and sit next to you first." ”

Mu Xize didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, he really retreated to a corner according to Ye Ningxiang's instructions, squatted down, and then remained silent without saying a word.

In the matter of competing for favor, whether it is a woman or a man, there will never be mercy on the part of the subordinates. For more than an hour when Mu Xize sat beside him, the two faces who were sticking to Ye Ningxiang's side were competing all the time to win Ye Ningxiang's favor.

Grinding and fanning are both rudimentary behaviors, and with the addition of Mu Xize, the fight between male pets intensifies. These two people, for a while, fed Ye Ningxiang fruits, and for a while, they pressed Ye Ningxiang's waist and pinched her back, and they could even change Ye Ningxiang with a new candle lamp in time.

Ye Ningxiang accepted everything that the two of them did to Ye Ningxiang, but it seemed that so many things still did not make Ye Ningxiang forget the existence of Mu Xize. She put down the red pen, stretched out, and looked at Mu Xize.

"Xiaomu, you've been sitting there for so long, you don't have anything to say?"

To be honest, Mu Xize really didn't have anything to say at this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't speak when he first entered the study, and then he didn't want to disturb Ye Ningxiang and didn't speak, but now he didn't know what to say. But it's not good to keep standing up and not answering, no matter what you answer, you have to block Ye Ningxiang's question first.

"I ...... I'm cold. ”

When he said this, Mu Xize's eyes widened, and he didn't seem to believe that these two words came out of his mouth at all. This is simply the lameest, most false, and most unsubstantiated lie he has ever said.

Cold? Since he grew six tails, he no longer knew what the concept of cold was, and he could think of cold from being thinly dressed, and say this reason in a grand manner, Mu Xize admired his powerful brain circuit.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Ningxiang simply got up from her seat, walked straight to Mu Xize, and squatted down, as if she wanted to see through every inch of Mu Xize's skin under the thin clothes.

"Well, you have a good figure, and your skin is even more upper, but your clothes are indeed too thin, and it is hard to freeze here for so long in this cold day. Abi, go and get some clothes for Xiaomu. ”

Abi was also afraid that Ye Ningxiang would blame her for not doing well, so she deliberately took a thick cotton robe and handed it to Mu Xize. Mu Xize smiled bitterly at the big cotton robe, and reluctantly put the big cotton robe on.

Ye Ningxiang yawned tiredly, looked out the window again, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Back to the emperor, it's time to be a child. ”

The young man who fanned him hurriedly replied.

Sometimes this competition for favor still has a great effect, Ye Ningxiang turned her head to look at the young man who had been working hard all night, and said in a low voice: "I don't seem to have called you to serve me to sleep, so you will serve me tonight!"

The young man never thought that this competitive sentence would bring him such a big opportunity, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Ye Ningxiang three times in a row, and the moment he got up, he glanced at the stunning-looking man and Mu Xize who seemed to have no sense of existence when he knelt in the distance.

The stunning man lowered his head, but his eyes widened, and he felt like he was going to swallow the fan man in one bite. Ye Ningxiang didn't pay attention to this, and walked towards the dormitory with her new favorite. Mu Xize thought that he and the stunning man should also follow Ye Ningxiang to her bedroom, but seeing that although the stunning man was angry, he stood there for a long time without moving, and his heart was also puzzled.

"This son, should we follow?"

Mu Xize first got up and waved respectfully at the man before asking, but this question was not an answer but a cold snort, a flick of his sleeves, and a look full of hatred.

Mu Xize said that he was really quite innocent, it was the fan man who robbed him of his favor, and he Mu Xize only said two words all night, or those two most brainless words, and it was really unfair and unreasonable to be resented by this person now!
