The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"It's just some jewelry, you don't have to take it to heart. The chicken soup made by Miss Mi smells pretty good." Xie Ci'an couldn't help but praise her, but there was no extra expression on his face, making it impossible to guess whether he was happy or angry.

Mi Yue, however, did not have the ability to read people's expressions. After hearing Xie Ci'an's praise, she could not help but lower her head shyly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. My cooking skills are not very good, but if Your Majesty likes it, I can cook for you every day."

"Your Majesty, please try this chicken soup. I have been stewing it for the whole morning. I didn't put anything extra in it, but I did put some Ganoderma lucidum which is good for the body." Mi Yue pushed the chicken soup in front of Xie Ci'an.

Mi Yue looked around the entire palace and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't the Empress and the Emperor here together?"

"The Queen is holding a family dinner at Fengzao Palace and can't come." Xie Ci'an said, picking up the chicken soup beside him and taking a sip. His sharp eyes were staring at Mi Yue in front of him like an eagle.

Mi Yue rolled her eyes and saw that Xie Ci'an had drunk most of the chicken soup, and her heart finally settled down.

Mi Yue bravely stepped forward and massaged Xie Ci'an's shoulders. "Your Majesty must be tired from handling state affairs all day. Let me massage your shoulders to relieve your fatigue. I'm very good at massaging shoulders. When I was at home, my parents often said I was a good massager."

Xie Ci'an's expression was extremely cold. He pinched the jade ring tightly with his fingers and looked at Mi Yue quietly.

After this matter is over, the Queen must compensate him for the grievances he suffered today.

Xie Ci'an nodded in agreement, "Your technique is indeed quite good."

Hearing Xie Ci'an's praise, Mi Yue's proud expression was already beyond words, "If the emperor likes, I can help the emperor massage often."

"I've heard before that the Empress controls the entire harem, excluding those who are dissidents from the harem and even preventing the Emperor from taking concubines. Seeing it today is indeed the case. It's really a bit too much. The Empress has been married to the Emperor for two years and has never given birth to a prince. She also forbids other girls from entering the palace to bear children for the Emperor. I can't stand it. I feel sorry for the Emperor. The Empress must be using the Gu family to deliberately control the harem and manipulate the Emperor."

The people standing outside the door, except Gu Jianchu, all widened their eyes.

This girl is really brave when she speaks. Without understanding the situation, she dares to speak nonsense in front of Xie Ci'an, and she is not afraid of being scolded by Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an's most precious thing is the Queen. Xie Qingzhi has not forgotten that when she took the Queen out of the palace before, Xie Ci'an directly put her under house arrest.

The Queen did not allow Xie Ci'an to take a concubine. It was obvious that Xie Ci'an did not want to, otherwise who could stop the Emperor?

Gu Jianyue's eyes turned red. She knew that Mi Yue had ulterior motives, but she didn't expect that this little girl was so scheming. Thanks to the Gu family for being so kind to her and doting on her, even treating Mi Yue like a relative. This is how she treated the Gu family.

Fortunately, Xie Ci'an believed in the Gu family, otherwise, Mi Yue's words alone would be enough for Xie Ci'an to destroy the Gu family.

The most angry person was Gu Jianbai.

Gu Jianbai's pupils contracted violently, his fingers clenched into fists, and his face was filled with uncontrollable anger. It was thanks that he rescued Mi Yue from those people and brought her to the capital and let her live in his home. He never expected that this would be how Mi Yue repaid the Gu family.

What made Gu Jianbai even more confused was Mi Yue's behavior. When Mi Yue lived at home before, she tried to please their family in every way. She often cooked for them herself and often sent the prepared meals to his yamen. What did all this mean? Was it just a reason to please them so that they could stay at Gu's house and see the emperor?

If Mi Yue really succeeds and becomes someone close to the emperor, wouldn't he become a sinner for all eternity, personally sending this disaster to the emperor and alienating the relationship between the emperor and his sister? This woman will also become his sister's most favorable competitor in the harem, and may use any means to deal with his sister in order to gain favor.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianbai's disappointment and sadness towards Mi Yue turned into guilt towards her sister. She didn't even dare to go see Gu Jianchu.

However, things had not yet developed to an outrageous point, and there was still a chance to salvage everything. Just as Gu Jianbai was about to push the door open, he was stopped by Gu Jianchu's eyes. Gu Jianchu grabbed Gu Jianbai's wrist and shook his head gently at his brother, "Don't be anxious, brother. Let's see what else Miss Mi has to say."

Hearing this, Gu Jianbai looked at Gu Jianchu in confusion.

Listening to my sister's words, it seems like there is something else behind them. Could it be that my sister has known for a long time that Mi Yue wants to seduce the emperor and deliberately set up a trap.

Gu Jianbai looked at Gu Jianyue again, but saw Gu Jianyue nodded.

Normally when at home, although Gu Jianchu likes to be a lazy person and needs their protection everywhere, it does not mean that Gu Jianchu does not have the ability to protect himself.

Since Gu Jianyue was so sure, Gu Jianbai had to feel a little relieved and continued to watch everything inside.

Xie Ci'an suddenly raised his hand and grasped Mi Yue's wrist. His eyes narrowed slightly, with a barely perceptible coldness in them. His pleasant voice echoed in the hall, "What do you want?"

Mi Yue didn't expect Xie Ci'an to be so direct. She pinched her wrist as Xie Ci'an did, and sat on Xie Ci'an's thigh. Her other hand climbed up Xie Ci'an's shoulder and neck, and her body kept moving towards Xie Ci'an's arms. Her breath just blew on Xie Ci'an's face, "Your Majesty, what do you think I want? Of course I want you."

Mi Yue's fingers restlessly moved along Xie Ci'an's chest muscles, all the way down to Xie Ci'an's waist. Her fingers fell on Xie Ci'an's belt, gently making circles. Just when Mi Yue was about to untie the restraint around the man's waist, Xie Ci'an suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Mi Yue's restless hands. His tone was already filled with strong murderous intent, but he forced himself not to throw Mi Yue off him.

Xie Ci'an's bewitching voice rang in Mi Yue's ears, "The Queen has the entire Gu family behind her, as well as the military power of Liaodong. You want to come and serve me, what do you have?"

Mi Yue shook her head. "I have nothing. I don't have a distinguished family background, nor do I have a powerful father or brother who can help the emperor. But I can do this. I have the technology to refine fine iron that the emperor needs, as well as more advanced agricultural planting. I can even help the emperor refine things like glass soap. I can help the emperor become a wise ruler for all ages, and I can also help the emperor conquer those small foreign countries."

"Your Majesty, do you think this is adequate? If it's not enough, I have a more advanced method for making hand cannons."

"You have so many good things in your hands, you should not be willing to stay only by my side." Xie Ci'an's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything and see into people's hearts.
