"I'm not a stingy person, so why would I bother with you? But your face is probably going to be swollen for two days.

But this is your fault, not mine. This can be considered a lesson for you. Remember this when you enter the palace in the future. The rules in the palace are strict and not as loose as those in your house.

If you do something wrong in the palace and get punished, don't blame me for not reminding you and causing you to be punished.

Alright, you came to the palace to congratulate me on my pregnancy. I thank Prince Xiang and Princess for their congratulations, and I also wish Princess Xiang a speedy pregnancy and the birth of an heir to Prince Xiang's mansion."

Dong E didn't know how to respond. She only wanted to go to the palace, so how could she be willing to give birth to a child for Boghor?

But Mu Sili has already said so. If she says she doesn't want to, doesn't it mean that she is dissatisfied with this marriage?

"The Emperor has arrived."

Suddenly, the eunuch's voice was heard outside. Dong E's eyes lit up after hearing it. Shunzhi was coming, so wouldn't she have a chance to show off in front of him?

"My Lady, I know you don't like me. I saw it during the selection, but you can't slap me for that.

I am the legitimate wife bestowed by the Emperor to Prince Xiang, and I am a member of the royal family. How could you humiliate me like that?

I have thought about it carefully. During the selection period and even after the selection, I did not have much interaction with you. I really don’t understand why you don’t like me?

Could it be true, as the outside world says, that you are worried that the Emperor will take a fancy to me? But I am already the Princess of Xiang, so even if the Emperor takes a fancy to me, it is impossible.

There is really no need for you to be unhappy with me over these unrealistic things. I promise that at worst I will just not enter the palace in the future. Please don't be angry.

You are pregnant now, you must not disturb the fetus. If you do, I will be held responsible for your death."

Dong E's voice showed weakness, stubbornness, and strength. This was the tone she had figured out on her own that was most attractive to men, and Boghor found it very useful.

She thought that Mu Sili was a Han Chinese woman who cared most about her reputation and would definitely not expose her, so she never thought about the consequences of saying this.

"Princess Xiang, did you mean that I've been jealous of you since the selection began? It seems that's exactly what you meant.

No matter how you look at it, I am the most beautiful woman among all the girls. How can you think that I would be jealous of your face which is at best pretty?

No matter what you said just now, I will say the same thing. You did something wrong and instead of looking for the reasons within yourself, why are you blaming me?

And, if I remember correctly, you were the one who had a problem with me during the selection, right? "

Shunzhi had already heard the general idea outside the door. If Dong E was not Boguer's wife, he would definitely rush in to support Mu Sili.

"Wu Liangfu, go and find out why Dong E came into the palace today. I don't want her to disturb the peace of Concubine Xian in Chengqian Palace."

"yes."

"What are you talking about? You just got pregnant, why are you receiving guests?"

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Princess Xiang came to congratulate me on my pregnancy. I want to talk to her."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

"Why is Princess Xiang in the palace at this time? The palace gates will be locked in two quarters of an hour. If you are not in a hurry to leave the palace, aren't you afraid that Boguer will worry?"

"I would like to talk more with the virtuous concubine, and also ask her to seek advice and help you conceive a child for the prince as soon as possible.

When I heard today that the queen was pregnant, I noticed that the prince was a little disappointed. The prince still has no children, and I am worried.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was so focused on your Highness that I almost missed the appointment. I will leave the palace now. I will take my leave."

Dong E left in a hurry as if to avoid suspicion, leaving Mu Sili speechless.

If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would think that something happened between her and Shunzhi in Chengqian Palace, which was why she left in a hurry.

"Furong, follow him. If anyone asks about Princess Xiang, explain. I don't want rumors to spread inside and outside the palace after today."

"yes."

After Furong left, Mu Sili told Shunzhi about Dong E's rude words just now.

"Princess Xiang has now become a member of the royal family and represents the face of the imperial family. I am worried that such unruly behavior will harm you.

Prince Xiang was a person who didn't care about these details, and he probably didn't think of arranging someone for Princess Xiang to learn the rules.

How about this, Nanny Wei in the Emperor's palace is very well behaved, why not send her to Prince Xiang's mansion to teach the princess the rules?"

Shunzhi had already become dissatisfied with Dong E when he heard her previous words, but her subsequent words made him look helpless.

"I think your intention to ask Madam Wei to teach her the rules is fake, but your intention to torment her is real, right?

If you don't like her, don't let her come to Chengqian Palace. I really don't like her double-dealing behavior."

Not hearing what Mu Sili said, Shunzhi quickly looked up at her and saw her slightly suspicious look.

"Why, you don't believe what I say?"

"Not really, I'm just a little surprised that the Emperor doesn't like such a delicate beauty as Princess Xiang.

If it were me, after hearing what she said just now, I would definitely have softened my heart towards her, thinking that she had gone too far, and was unwilling to let such a beautiful lady suffer like this."

Shunzhi was so angry about this that he slapped her on the forehead. Is it possible to say such things casually?

Fortunately, it was just her and me here, otherwise if it got out, people would think she was a womanizer.

It is normal for men to be lustful, but it is really hard to accept that this woman is lustful and particularly likes women.

This is like a man who is lustful and likes male beauty, commonly known as "Duanxiu".

"Your Majesty, I only spoke two truths, and you patted my head. If I say two more, you will spank me, won't you?"

"How could I touch you? It's okay for you to be lustful, as long as you like my lust. But Dong E is not suitable for you. I don't see that you like her very much. Don't ask her to come here in the future."

Mu Sili suddenly looked at Shunzhi in surprise. What did he mean by this? Did he think he was a lesbian? And he liked that woman, Dong E? Was he blind?

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I was simply saying that outside the palace, most men prefer delicate women like Princess Xiang, as they can arouse their desire to protect her and demonstrate their masculinity."

But Shunzhi was certain that Mu Sili had some feelings for Dong E. No wonder Dong E didn't want to leave the palace before, and was even rude to her during the selection. I'm afraid it was just to attract her attention.

Judging from the situation, if Dong E is allowed to enter the palace again, there will be another "Dong E Fei" in her harem who will keep her identity secret and belong only to Mu Sili.
