"All right, give me a seat." The Empress Dowager waved her hand before she spoke majestically.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Mu Cen blessed himself politely.

The eunuch on one side soon brought a stool to Muchen. Muchen sat down, and Meiji accompanied him. The Empress Dowager casually asked Muchen about some things. Muchen answered with ease, neither humble nor arrogant.

He never mentioned the untimely places in King Mu's residence, nor his current situation.

But the Empress Dowager thought: "Mu Cen, why didn't you come with the side imperial concubines? Instead, why didn't you come alone to greet the sad family?"

It's not the time.

Every year today, people who enter the palace in advance will come to Fengxiang palace one after another in the near evening, and stay in Fengxiang palace for dinner in the evening, only the women's family members will attend.

And this afternoon, Mu Cen has already appeared.

When the Empress Dowager asks, Mu CEN is quiet. Mei Ji looks at Mu Cen without any trace. Mu Cen smiles gently. When she looks at the Empress Dowager again, she seems more calm.

"I asked you, why didn't I answer?" The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and asked again.

Mu Cen then said, "tell me, Mu CEN is thinking about how to answer. If the answer is not good, Mu CEN is afraid to give people trouble

"Tell the truth." The voice of the Empress Dowager sank, "the most disliked thing of the mourning family is cheating."

"Yes." Mu Cen answered and said slowly, "because Mu Cen didn't live with the women's family members of Mu palace. Mu Cen just came back to the Palace this year. Maybe the palace didn't receive any notice. He still arranged the place for the women's family members of Mu palace in the past. Naturally, there won't be mu Cen's place. So when he saw Mu Cen, he had to make do with it temporarily."

Mu Cen didn't say where he was, and his eyes didn't change when he looked at the Empress Dowager: "Mu Cen lives some distance away from Fengxiang palace. He was worried that he would be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager when he was late, and Mu Cen was not familiar with the palace, so he came out early and asked while walking. He didn't expect to arrive at Fengxiang palace in advance."

Said, Mu Cen looked at the empress dowager, do not know is sorry or embarrassed: "if Mu Cen has offended the Empress Dowager place, also ask the Empress Dowager atonement."

The Empress Dowager nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "give me a seat."

One side of the slave immediately moved the stool to Mu Cen in front, even the attitude is respectful: "Miss mu, please sit down."

Mu Cen sat down, straight spine, her expression did not become indifferent or proud because of the current situation.

"Mu Cen, thank you for your seat." Mu Cen laughed, and his voice was pleasant.

The Empress Dowager nodded and drank a cup of tea. Then the tea was put aside. Meiji had been waiting on the side of the Empress Dowager.

Mu Cen sat quietly, didn't take the initiative to find a topic, and didn't mean to please deliberately.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager took the initiative to look at Mu Cen: "Mu Cen, the more I look at you, the more I think you look like your mother's concubine. I remember when your mother's concubine was still there, although she didn't grow up in the palace, every time she came, she would come and greet me. That is to say, like you, sitting in this position, you don't talk much, but you are likable. "

"If you go back to your mother's mother, Mu CEN is far from her mother's wife." Mu Cen responded humbly.

The Empress Dowager nodded: "your mother's concubine has something to do with the AI family. It's a pity that you have a bad life. You haven't been in the palace these few years. I heard from Lord Mu that you were sent out to be raised because of your health. When you were 16 years old, would you go back to the palace? "

Mu Cen was not surprised to hear the answer.

When Mu Hongyuan sent himself out, no one knew that he was looking after the house except the people in King Mu's house, let alone what happened. Some words are just ostensible.

Including Mu Cen's return to the government, the real reason can't be said.

The most taboo thing in Dazhou is witchcraft. Chongxi is also a kind of witchcraft. Mu Hongyuan is an important official in the court. He can't break the law by himself, so every step is carefully arranged.

If it wasn't for Wang Xueshuang's bad health, Mu Cen knew very well that she would never have the chance to go back to Mu palace in her life. And after Mu Hongyuan left, I'm afraid Gu's family still couldn't avoid the blood disaster.

After all, Chen Zhirong's character has no room for any flaw or danger.

She is the flaw and danger in Chen Zhirong's eyes.

Hehe——

"Yes." Mu Cen from such thoughts back to God, quiet back to the words.

The Empress Dowager nodded, took another sip of tea, and then twisted her eyebrows and looked at her: "Meiji, you see, since you left the palace, you can't drink tea as you like."

Meiji took it with a smile: "that slave girl has soaked it for you again."

"Good, good." The Empress Dowager replied with a smile, "the AI family likes the tea you made. You said that when you left, you taught the AI family, but this man, how can he always learn the essence. It's been ten years, and no one can please the sad family. "

Maggie didn't laugh.

Soon, she took the cup and made it seriously.

Mu Cen quietly looks at Mei Ji's eyes and looks at Mu Cen without any trace. The action in her hand slows down slightly. Mu Cen knows clearly that Mei Ji is helping herself.

She uses the slowest speed, so that she can clearly see her every step.

These are what the Empress Dowager likes.

As for whether he can understand, it depends on Mu Cen's own ability.

Mu Cen's lips are invisible, and she smiles at Mei Ji. Then she nods slightly. Mei Ji takes back her sight and makes tea attentively.

In the last life, Mu Cen didn't want to please the most powerful woman in the harem, but every time he didn't have the chance, let alone please, it was more difficult to get close to her.

Because the Empress Dowager is never satisfied with herself.

In addition to what happened later, the Empress Dowager's aversion to Mu CEN is getting deeper and deeper. Mu Cen has been married to the east palace for several years, but has not been able to enter the Fengxiang palace, which is already the biggest joke in the palace.

If you can't enter Fengxiang palace, how can you really know what the Empress Dowager likes.

This is also why Mu Cen personally sent Mei Ji back when he met Mei Ji at the Meridian Gate. In this deep palace, the person who knows the Empress Dowager best is not any concubine in the palace or the Emperor today, but Mei Ji who has followed the Empress Dowager for decades.

It's like now.

Mu Cen's mastery of tea ceremony is due to Li Shiyuan's love.

Later, Li Shiyuan came to Mu Cen just to have a cup of tea here, that's all.

Therefore, in Mei Ji's movements, Mu Cen can easily see the clue and the fire. If he does it by himself, it won't be very different from Mei Ji's tea.

Mu Cen looks at Mei Ji politely and gratefully, and then calmly takes back his sight.
