Kangxi instantly put away his sympathetic expression and his face was full of sarcasm.

He thought the queen really cared about the royal mother, but it turned out that she wanted to send Hesheli's people into the palace.

They have been married for so many years, but the family interests still occupy a higher position in her heart.

"Your legitimate sister is only ten years old. Are you sure you want her to enter the palace to take care of the princess?"

"Yes, with her here, I believe she will treat the princess sincerely. I can rest assured even in my grave. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Kangxi closed his eyes and said, "Since you want to ruin your sister's life, why should I consider you?"

But, this idea was proposed by Soetu, right? What a pity, after touching Nala, I decided not to touch the women in the harem anymore.

Once Hesheli entered the palace, she would be a widow for the rest of her life.

"Since you have made up your mind, I agree. However, she is a noble lady of the Eight Banners after all. She cannot live in the palace without any status and take care of the princess. What do you think?"

When the queen heard what Kangxi said, she didn't care how unhappy his expression was. She just wanted to quickly decide the status of her brother and sister-in-law, which would be her last contribution to the family.

"Why not take her into the palace as a concubine and live in the west side hall of Kunning Palace? That way it will be more convenient for you to take care of the princess."

Kangxi sneered out loud. A concubine? He had originally thought that the empress could only be promoted to a concubine, which was the highest rank. He had not expected her to be so bold as to directly ask for a concubine title for her own younger sister.

She even lived in the west side hall of Kunning Palace. Doesn't this clearly give people the impression that her younger sister is the empress? Does she really think that being the emperor is stupid?

"I think giving her the rank of noble lady is already high enough, but since she is the Queen's younger sister, she should enter the palace as a noble lady.

As for where to live, I think Xianfu Palace is a good place. After Hesheli enters the palace, she can take the princess to live in Xianfu Palace."

The queen was really stupid this time. She seemed to be too self-righteous and hurt her sister.

But Kangxi did not give her a chance to refute and directly announced the matter. What else could the queen do? She could only die with hatred in her heart.

Although the queen's intention was to let her younger sister enter the palace for the sake of the princess, any discerning person could see that the queen's real purpose was to let her younger sister enter the palace, and the princess was just an excuse.

After the Queen passed away, the position of Empress became vacant, and some people with ideas began to take action.

Since there is only one high-ranking concubine, Mu Sili, but she is pregnant, the queen's funeral will be handled by the queen dowager, and the palace power naturally falls into the hands of the queen dowager.

Mu Sili did not think there was anything wrong with this matter. After the queen passed away, Nianhulu and Tonggiya would enter the palace soon. She did not want to rush to become a target.

Besides, the Queen Mother has the power of the palace in her hands and has tasted the sweetness that it brings. Will she give it up easily?

No, although the Queen Mother is a low-key person, the power of the palace is too tempting. Once you get involved and taste the sweetness, no one will be willing to give it up. Therefore, the best way is to stay away from it.

Just as Mu Sili had expected, the Queen Mother had originally planned to stop intervening in the affairs of the harem after taking care of the Queen's funeral. However, after gaining power in the palace, the direction of the palace changed completely.

Whenever she left the palace, she could feel the awe-inspiring gazes of the servants wherever she went, which was something she had never experienced before.

There were even concubines who would privately seek her help in order to have a better life in the harem. The satisfaction she felt was so fascinating.

In Ningshou Palace, the empress dowager saw the things that were continuously delivered to her, and a look of greed appeared on her face.

"Power is so important! Before I managed the six palaces, how could I have ever enjoyed such treatment? Look at how long it's been, and I already have so many things I never had in my entire life."

"Empress Dowager, please keep your voice down. We have someone planted in Ningshou Palace. We can't let anyone overhear what's happening. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined."

The nanny who was speaking was a servant brought from Khorchin by the empress dowager. Her name was Tana. She was cautious but loyal.

In the past, she would have been careful with her words and actions after hearing what Tana said, but now that she has the power of the palace, it is impossible for her to treat her the same way as before.

She even felt a little resentful towards Tana in her heart. She had followed her for so many years and knew what kind of life she had lived before.

It is really shameful that the empress dowager lives worse than those concubines, and she also has to act according to other people's wishes.

"Alright, I know my limits. You can go down now."

Knowing that her words had angered the Queen Mother, Tana did not dare to continue, but she understood that if the Queen Mother continued to act like this, she would be retaliated against sooner or later, so after leaving Ningshou Palace, she went directly to Cining Palace.

Her behavior was reported to the Queen Mother by those who secretly disliked her. The Queen Mother did not think much about it and simply thought that she wanted to betray her, so she decided to get rid of her regardless of the consequences.

Tana never expected that she was wholeheartedly working for the Queen Mother, but in return she was treated like this by the Queen Mother. In anger and humiliation, she broke free from the people who were holding her and rushed to the Cining Palace.

In the Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang was discussing Chengqing's education with Mu Sili, but she heard a loud noise outside the door and she was very unhappy.

"Su Ma, go check what's going on. Didn't I tell them not to make any noise in the Cining Palace? Are they turning a deaf ear to my words?"

"Princess, calm down. I'll go check it out. I think they really have something urgent to disturb them, otherwise they wouldn't dare to make such a noise."

"Hurry up and check it out. The noise is giving me a headache."

"Grand Empress Dowager, how about we stop here today and let me go back first?"

"It's not a big deal. Just sit here. I want to see who dares to cause trouble in the Cining Palace."

"How about I give you a massage? You are in so much pain, I really can't bear it."

A smile appeared on Xiaozhuang's face. No wonder God chose her to be the Phoenix Star. No one else could be so loving to her.

"No, I'll be fine in a while. You're pregnant now, so it's better not to overwork yourself."

"I have a pill for headaches, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for your condition. Lingran, go get me the purple jade bottle from inside my dressing table."

"yes."

"Don't worry, my headaches haven't happened overnight. The imperial physician says it can't be cured. Don't waste the good medicine."

Xiaozhuang thought it was just another pain-relieving drug, so she didn't take it seriously. Little did she know that what Mu Sili gave her were pills made with a little diluted spiritual spring water.

It may not be able to cure other diseases, but it is more than enough to cure a headache.

Moreover, if she could cure the headache that had been bothering Empress Xiaozhuang, she would protect her in the harem, which would definitely be beneficial and harmless.
