Unfortunately, the Queen Mother had already gone berserk and would never tell Kangxi the real reason. She even felt that she was helping Kangxi by doing so and that Kangxi was ungrateful.

"Isn't this action of mine good for the Emperor? You didn't even experience a succession struggle and directly became the new Emperor. Why are you dissatisfied?

What a pity! If it happens again, I will definitely let Changning take the throne. After all, Changning is easier for me to control."

Kangxi looked at her as if he were looking at a dead person. Since she was so tactless, he was too lazy to delve into the details.

He has been on the throne for so many years, so it is better for others not to get involved, lest he make it impossible for his brothers to succeed.

"The Empress Dowager seems to like this life of captivity very much. If so, please do not return to Ningshou Palace. I will have someone take good care of you here.

As for Tana, no matter what your purpose was in betraying the Queen Mother, you are still a traitor. Although the Queen Mother promised to spare your life, I will not let you live like this.

Liang Jiugong, take him away and deal with him. I don't want to see a healthy person."

"yes."

Tana's face turned even paler. She was happy to be alive, but if her life was worse than death, she might as well just die.

Looking at the Queen Mother's sarcastic look, she was irritated.

"Empress Dowager, would you mind if I could accompany you on your journey to the underworld?"

With a puff, the queen mother fell down with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and Tana was also killed by an arrow pierced through the heart by the guards.

The sudden death of the Empress Dowager was something that neither the previous dynasty nor the harem had expected, but since the Empress Dowager was already dead, they were too lazy to make a fuss about it. After all, she was not Kangxi's biological mother, so there was no need to make a fuss about it.

In addition, Kangxi looked very sad, so they turned their attention to him and advised him to take care of his health and not be too sad.

Kangxi said that he was a good emperor who listened to advice. After the ministers took turns to persuade him, he returned to the Qianqing Palace to review memorials.

Mu Sili gave birth prematurely just nine months into her pregnancy. However, everything in the Yiku Palace was in perfect order, with no chaos or disorder.

Kangxi and Xiaozhuang arrived at the Yiku Palace one after the other. Chengqing was carried by Lingran to the Empress Dowager, who asked her to take care of him.

"Grand Empress Dowager, Her Majesty has asked me to hand Prince Chengqing over to you. After she is out of confinement, I will take him back. I will go to the delivery room and keep an eye on him."

Lingran put Chengqing down and went into the delivery room. Although the Yiku Palace had strict control, there were bound to be times when negligence occurred, so it was better to be careful.

"My Lady, are you all right? I have handed the little prince over to the Empress Dowager."

"I'm fine, get ready, I'm about to give birth."

"yes."

The midwife was already ready, just waiting for Mu Sili to give birth. She immediately perked up when she heard her words. This was the emperor's most favored concubine, and nothing could go wrong, otherwise her whole family would be finished.

Fortunately, this was not Mousli's first child, so she gave birth very quickly. The two children were born only five minutes apart.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! They are twins. This is the first time I have seen twins with different appearances. Your Majesty is very blessed."

"Really? Thanks for your good wishes, Lingran. Bring the child over for me to see."

"yes."

When she saw her two fair-skinned sons, Mu Sili's face was full of smiles. These were the sons she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and they were very handsome.

"Take it out and show it to the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager, and make them happy."

"yes."

Kangxi and Xiaozhuang could not wait any longer. After hearing two loud cries, their eyes never left the door of the delivery room, hoping to see the two children as soon as possible.

"Why haven't you come out yet? I can't wait any longer."

"Huang Mamu, please wait a little longer. We have to prepare the children before we bring them out, right? Let's just wait, Chengqing, don't you agree?"

"Yes, Grandpa, please wait, my brother will be out soon."

When Xiaozhuang heard Chengqing's words, her face was full of smiles.

"Okay, then the ancestor will wait."

At this time, the midwife had also prepared the children and brought them out. When she came to me, her mind was full of the reward that was about to come, and the smile on her face never faded.

"I congratulate the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Your Majesty has safely given birth to twins. The one on the left is the Fifth Prince, and the one on the right is the Sixth Prince."

"Hurry up and show me Xiaowu and Xiaoliu. Don't they look incredibly similar? The thought of having two identical great-grandchildren wandering around in front of me in the future makes my heart melt."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Mama-san. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu don't look much alike."

"Don't look alike? Aren't they twins? How could they not look alike?"

It’s not that Xiaozhuang was ignorant, but there had never been twins with different appearances in the Qing Dynasty. However, this did not affect Xiaozhuang’s love for twins.

"This little five and six are the presidents. They have picked out the best features of you and Nala. Although they don't look very similar, they are more and more pleasing to the eye. I really like them."

"Grandfather, Chengqing wants to see his younger brother."

Kangxi picked up Chengqing and let him look at his younger brother from a high place. It felt really good and Chengqing said he liked it very much.

"Grow up quickly, my brothers. I will teach you."

"Pfft, tell the Emperor, you haven't even learned anything yourself, how are you going to teach your brothers?"

Kangxi almost died of laughter. How could he teach his younger brother when his son hadn't even started learning? Seeing his confident look, he almost believed it.

"Father, please don't look down on a young man who is poor. Your son has already learned the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic. Why can't you teach your younger brother?"

Chengqing was very dissatisfied with Kangxi's ridicule and directly retorted with his hands on his hips in his arms.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but Kangxi and Xiaozhuang were shocked. Chengqing was only three years old. When did he learn all this? How come they didn't know?

"Chengqing, tell the Emperor, who taught you this? How come the Emperor doesn't know?"

"My mother taught me. She said that I was old enough and it was time for me to learn so that I could set an example for my younger brothers. I thought that made sense, so I started learning.

But my son was very surprised. His mother told him to learn such simple knowledge within a year, but he had already learned it in less than a month.

Although he still doesn’t fully understand the meaning, my son has memorized it by heart.”

Kangxi put on a fake smile. He suspected that Chengqing was mocking him. After all, when he was three years old, he was still digging mud in the imperial garden and had no idea what learning was.

Xiaozhuang was worthy of being the one who raised Kangxi. Seeing him like that reminded her of his childhood playing in the mud. Then she looked at Chengqing with a serious expression and she couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't mean to do that. I just couldn't help it."
