How did Her Majesty know that Concubine Nara was invested in her name? Why didn't she realize it at all after looking for a long time?

"Your Highness, did you misunderstand? I didn't realize that the concubine had such intentions."

"How could that be, Madam? I've always told you to read my expressions when you're around me. Have you been in Kunning Palace for so long that you don't even know how to read my expressions anymore?

What Nara did today was to surrender to me. I have been in this palace for so many years, but when has she, Nara, ever bowed her head like this?

But since she has surrendered to me, I must also show some sincerity. Ma Jia is favored, so I should share her favor first."

The wet nurse looked at the mysteriously confident queen with concern. She really didn't understand the meaning. Was the queen thinking too much?

"Since Your Majesty thinks so, then it must be so. Prince Chenghu is feeling better today. Would Your Majesty like to go and see him?"

Thinking of her sick son and then the new son in her belly, she waved her hand and said she would not go. What if the disease came to her and affected the fetus in her belly?

"I really want to know the gender of my unborn baby. Please ask a doctor to come and check on me. Remember, just say I have a stomachache and don't say anything more."

"Yes, I understand."

The queen thought she was pregnant with a son. When the imperial physician came to check, he did not dare to say it was a son. He just said that the child was too small to be delivered. The queen did not blame him, but just said it was useless and let the imperial physician go.

After leaving Kunning Palace, the imperial physician felt more and more that something was wrong. What if the queen was using someone else's power to get a prince?

This matter still needs to be discussed with Liang Jiugong. As for whether he will tell Kangxi, that is his business. As long as he can get rid of himself, nothing else matters.

After Liang Jiugong learned the news, he hurriedly told Kangxi. Kangxi had a hard time in the past three months. Every time he went to the harem, Mu Sili's voice and smile appeared in his mind unconsciously.

He thought that he would naturally forget about her over time, but he didn't expect that his longing for her had become stronger recently, and he could hardly suppress it.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What is it?"

"Just now, Doctor Wei from the Imperial Hospital came to report that the Empress had summoned him to take her pulse, citing abdominal discomfort, but he directly requested to know the sex of the unborn child.

After taking the empress's pulse, Doctor Wei discovered that it was a princess, but seeing the empress's expectant eyes, he did not dare to tell her directly, so he euphemistically said that she was still too young to tell, and the empress did not make it difficult.

However, Doctor Wei mentioned that the Empress was very confident that the heir in her belly was a prince, and she was worried that something unexpected might happen on the day of delivery, so she came to report this to me.

Didn't this servant think that such a big thing needed to be reported to you? So this servant came in to tell you.

Your Majesty, what do you think we should do about this?"

Kangxi frowned. Doctor Wei's words clearly meant that the Queen wanted to use someone else's trick, but the Queen and he had been together for so many years, and he knew her. She was not that kind of person.

But it is no coincidence that flies don't bite seamless eggs. The queen's move might have a certain meaning.

The royal bloodline cannot be confused. It seems that we need to find someone to keep an eye on Kunning Palace.

It's not that he doesn't trust the Queen, but the deep palace is the most corrupting place. The Queen has been in the deep palace for several years, it is impossible for her to still be as innocent and harmless as when she first entered the palace.

"Have someone keep an eye on Kunning Palace. I don't want anyone to take the blame for someone else's death."

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

After Liang Jiugong left, Kangxi thought of Mu Sili again. He didn't know what she was doing. Since he had nothing to do, why not go to Yiku Palace to see Chengqing?

Yes, that’s right, I went to see Chengqing. I haven’t seen Chengqing for a long time. I don’t know if this kid still remembers me, his royal father.

With this reason, Kangxi took the returning Liang Jiugong towards the Yiku Palace.

The Queen knew about Kangxi's whereabouts. After all, she had placed people in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. But she didn't care. Mu Sili was her person, and it would benefit her if she was favored, so she just let it go.

In Yiku Palace, Mu Sili was holding Chengqing and playing with him on the couch, and was teaching him to speak.

"Chengqing looked at my mother and followed her and said, 'Imperial Father.'"

"Emperor Father."

"Mother."

"Mother."

"Ancestor."

"Zong."

"No, it's the ancestor, the ancestor."

"Old Juzong."

After trying several times without success, Mu Sili gave up. She was not someone who could teach a child to speak.

"Lingran, you should come. I forced you to do it. I thought Chengqing was so quick to learn to call me Ama E Niang, so he would be quick to learn other things too. I didn't expect that an old ancestor would teach him all morning and still not be able to teach him. This is really a blow to my weak heart."

Lingran wanted to laugh but was afraid that Mu Sili would blame her, so after coughing twice, she decided to comfort her master.

"It's not that the Empress didn't teach well. Our prince is so young, it's normal that he doesn't know how to do it. Maybe he already knows how to do it, but he's too young to understand it."

"That makes sense. In that case, bring me a bowl of milk tea. I'm thirsty."

Lingran's mouth twitched. She had reason to suspect that Mu Sili's real purpose was actually to drink milk tea, not that she was really sad because Brother Chengqing didn't learn it.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"This concubine pays respects to the Emperor."

"This servant pays respects to the Emperor."

"Get up, what are you doing, where is Chengqing?"

"There it is. I thought I was not busy today, so I just taught Chengqing how to speak.

Who would have thought that he would be so disrespectful to me? I was teaching him, but he only talked about his own things. It really hurts my heart."

"Chengqing is not even one and a half years old yet, and he's doing very well now. As long as he is guided well, Chengqing will achieve great things."

Perhaps because he heard Kangxi praising him, Chengqing smiled at Kangxi while sitting on the couch and shouted "Emperor Father" loudly.

"I'm here, what else will Chengqing say? Do you want to tell it to the Emperor?"

"Royal Father, Mother, Ancestor, Royal Mother, Royal Uncle, Uncle Huang, Brother, Sister, Younger Brother, Younger Sister."

Mousse Pear: ...

It turns out that this son of a bitch had already learned it, and was just playing a trick on his mother before! She said that how could a child who had been fed so much spiritual spring water not even know how to call someone a simple name.

"Chengqing, mother is unhappy. When mother was teaching you, you were unwilling to speak properly. As soon as your royal father asked you to speak, you were exposed."

She pouted slightly to show her unhappiness and successfully deceived Chengqing.

"Mother, be good, Chengqinghui, mother will hug you."

Mu Sili said that she was easy to coax. After hearing these soft words, she directly hugged Chengqing. The warm smile on her face immediately captured Kangxi's heart.
