"I'm going to go see her. Liang Jiugong, you and Molan just stand guard outside the door. You are not allowed to go in unless I summon you."

"yes."

When Kangxi entered the inner room, Mu Sili was already asleep. He clearly saw tears in the corners of her eyes, and he subconsciously thought that Mu Sili had cried.

"I'm not that cruel person, why are you crying? You don't want me to feel sad.

Don't worry, I love you, so I won't let you suffer any injustice for no reason. I will make anyone cry."

Kangxi himself didn't realize that since he had been with Mu Sili, his emotions had mostly changed according to Mu Sili.

When he came in just now, he was a little angry and wanted to blame her, but when he saw her sleeping face and the tears in the corners of her eyes, he softened his heart.

"I don't know why, but whenever I see you, my heart softens."

Mu Sili had woken up a long time ago. She just wanted to hear what Kangxi would say when he came in, but she accidentally heard Kangxi's different confession.

Should she wake up now or continue to pretend to be asleep? Never mind. She wasn't one to pretend. It would be better for her to wake up, lest Kangxi see through her.

"How did the emperor get in? Didn't I have someone close the door?"

Kangxi couldn't help rolling his eyes. He was the emperor. If he wanted to come in, who would dare to stop him?

"You've been wronged today, so I came to see you. Didn't I tell you before that if you've been wronged, don't keep it in your heart, but tell me? Is that what you told me?"

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I was not wronged. I just felt a little tired, so I came back to take a nap. I didn't expect to fall asleep directly.

As for the door of Qixiang Palace, that is even more of a misunderstanding. Don’t I think that the sisters in the harem are all eager for you to visit their palace?

I am a noble lady of low status, so there is no need for me to compete with them. After all, I know that even if I close the door of Qixiang Palace, you can still come in.

But I have been favored for more than a month, so I still have to maintain this attitude, so I am doing it for them to see."

Mu Sili had a smug expression on her face, and seemed very satisfied with her behavior, which made Kangxi's mouth twitch.

He actually thought the other party was feeling upset because he had been wronged, but it turned out that he was directing and acting it out himself!

"But I still feel uncomfortable. Your Majesty, Concubine De, hurt me with what she said today. As a consort, I should advise you to treat everyone equally.

But isn't it the Queen's job to persuade you? At worst, there's the Imperial Concubine. How can a concubine have a say?

Unfortunately, my status is too low to refute, so I could only agree to what Concubine De said and said that I would invite you to visit Yonghe Palace. You have no idea how sad I was when I said this!

But don't worry, I was just talking. It's okay if you didn't enter Qixiang Palace, but if you did, how could I push you out? I'm not stupid."

"You are quite clever. What if I really go to Yonghe Palace?"

"What else can I do? I can only look at myself in the mirror and sigh silently, 'I only see the new people laughing, I don't see the old people crying.'

However, I believe Your Majesty is not that kind of person and would not do anything that would slap me in the face. Your Majesty, do you agree?"

"No, I think what you said makes sense. I really should walk around the harem, otherwise they will all target you, which is not good."

Mu Sili was angry. She came to Qixiang Palace and wanted to leave?

Although she is pregnant now, she is different from others. Since Kangxi has come, let him out of Qixiang Palace, and tomorrow she will be the source of happiness in the harem.

"Your Majesty, do you think you still have a chance to escape? It seems that I haven't tried hard enough and failed to retain your Majesty's heart.

But it doesn’t matter, the night is long, and I can always think of a way to keep you here.”

The next day, when Kangxi woke up, Mu Sili was gone.

"Where is Lady Min?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Min has gone to prepare breakfast for you. I will help you wash up first. I heard that Concubine Min also made some snacks for me to take to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I am afraid you will be hungry."

"She can also cook? That's really rare. I'll go and take a look."

Qixiang Palace has a small kitchen, so Mousse Li prepared breakfast and some exquisite pastries in the kitchen.

"Molan, go see if the emperor is awake. If he is, please ask him to taste my cooking skills. I haven't cooked for a long time and I feel a lot less skilled."

"Yes, I will go and check it out right away."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Molan came back and Kangxi was already waiting in the kitchen, so Mu Sili took people to move the prepared things to the kitchen.

Kangxi originally thought it was just some ordinary breakfast, but he didn't expect to see rice. At that moment, he was stunned.

"Is it appropriate to eat so early in the morning? I feel like after this meal, I won't have to eat lunch or dinner."

"You are so busy every day, you must eat well. I can't cook much, so try it and see if it suits your appetite."

Kangxi looked at the stewed rice in front of him and felt that this meal was a bit difficult as he had never eaten rice for breakfast.

But after he had eaten his fill and went to court, he discovered that eating rice in the morning really did fill him up.

Besides, you know what, changing your taste occasionally will change your mood for the day, which feels really good.

In Yonghe Palace, when Concubine De heard that Mousili had closed the palace yesterday but Kangxi still went to Qixiang Palace, she was so angry that she felt a little twisted.

"The Emperor truly loves her. I remember my family planning a marriage with the Zhangjia clan, right? Send a message home and have the Zhangjia clan leader intervene to stop her from competing for his favor.

It is enough for me to be a concubine in this palace, and as for her, being a noble lady is her limit."

"yes."

Since Consort De was canonized as a concubine, Uya has been in the limelight and has become a very prestigious figure among the entire bannerman family.

After learning that Concubine De didn't want Mu Sili to continue to be favored, they immediately made a countermeasure. Concubine De's father went directly to Hai Kuan.

Hai Kuan was Mu Sili's uncle, but later she was adopted by Hai Kuan and became his daughter. Therefore, when she ran for election, she entered the palace as the daughter of the assistant minister Hai Kuan.

Hai Kuan was unhappy when he learned that Uya wanted Mu Sili to withdraw from the harem to compete for favor.

Mu Sili is the hope of their Zhangjia clan. Now that she has been granted the title of noble lady right after gaining favor, there is no guarantee that she will not be granted the title of concubine or imperial consort in the future.

Moreover, he had a feeling that if Mu Sili could conceive an heir to the throne, she would definitely be promoted to a concubine, after all, she was the main lady of Qixiang Palace.

The palace has strict rules. If Mu Sili had always been a noble lady, Kangxi would never have allowed her to become the mistress of Qixiang Palace.
