Xuanming was troubled by this for several days. Muzhi suggested that the Imperial Clothing Bureau make two comfortable sets of clothes for Granny Liu and give them to her. She would definitely be happy.
Granny Liu indeed happily collected the clothes.
"These days, the hardest working people have been Magpie and Granny Liu. You have taken care of all my food and clothes. At night, when the Emperor is not here, Magpie watches over me. Thank you both for your hard work."
Granny Liu and Magpie looked at Mu Zhi disapprovingly.
Mu Zhi chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. How about this, let's have hot pot tonight? The Emperor probably won't be coming today, so let's just have the three of us around the pot and eat hot pot together. How about that? Granny Liu is the best."
As Mu Zhi spoke, she began to act coquettishly, which was exactly what Granny Liu found most endearing.
"Alright, alright, I'll cook myself. No, I'll go prepare it right now. I'll start simmering the soup first, and simmer it for a while so it'll taste better tonight." After saying that, Granny Liu hurriedly walked towards the small kitchen.

Hearing Magpie's words, Mu Zhi blushed and said coquettishly, "You little rascal, you always tease me. Actually, it's not that I don't want to ask Granny Liu for help, but I'm a little afraid that she'll start nagging me again."
Last time, late at night, Mu Zhi suddenly had a strong craving for that sour soup, so she whispered a few words to the maid beside her. Little did she know that the sharp-eared Granny Liu would overhear her. As a result, Granny Liu went to the kitchen without saying a word and busied herself, managing to stew a whole big pot of fragrant sour soup.
When she excitedly finished cooking the soup and brought it to Mu Zhi, Mu Zhi was so moved that she burst into tears, which startled Granny Liu, who then nagged for a long, long time.
