But since Concubine De was canonized as a concubine and their family was promoted to a higher status, they were no longer called a bannerman family.

However, the Zhangjia clan was still a bannerman, and if the Uya clan decided to suppress them, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

But the clan finally had a favorite concubine, who seemed to be extremely favored. It would be hard to give up on her just like that.

And the most important point is that he was unhappy with Wei Wu. He just gave birth to a good daughter, but he acted as if he was favored by Kangxi and only knew how to show off.

"Master, why don't you send a message to Li'er and listen to her opinions? I have always felt that she is a person with strong opinions, otherwise she wouldn't have been granted such a high position as a noble lady when she was first appointed.

We can't do anything about the Wuya family, but Li'er is in the palace and can see the emperor every day. Maybe she has a way?

It turns out that the reason why the Uya family wanted Li'er to give up competing for favor was simply because Concubine De was afraid of Li'er.

Since our Zhangjia clan is expected to produce someone like Concubine De, why not take a gamble?

If we win, we might even be able to withdraw from the bondservant system. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. Our family is a servant of the royal family, and the emperor won't watch us being suppressed by the Uya family."

Haikuan's eyes lit up, that's right.

"Madam, you are absolutely right. I will send a letter to Li'er right away. We will do whatever she says."

"good."

In Qixiang Palace, Mu Sili received a letter sent by Hai Kuan. After all, he was from a bannerman family, how could he not have any connections at all?

After seeing the plan of Concubine De mentioned in the letter, Mu Sili showed a sarcastic smile.

"Since Concubine De wants me to fall out of favor so badly, I'll give her a stab. Molan, please call the imperial physician and tell him I'm feeling unwell. Ask him to come and see me."

"yes."

Molan invited the imperial physician over very quickly. She thought Mu Sili wanted to confirm whether she was pregnant, so she was also looking forward to it.

"Don't worry, my lord. I can only confirm your symptoms after I take your pulse."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician."

Kangxi was originally reading memorials in the Qianqing Palace. When he heard Liang Jiugong report that Mu Sili had asked for the imperial physician, he threw down the memorials in his hand and strode to the Qixiang Palace.

As soon as I entered Qixiang Palace, I heard the imperial physician's congratulations.

"Congratulations, Lady Min, you are pregnant. However, it is still early and your pulse is not very clear. I will come back to take your pulse carefully after half a month."

The reason why the imperial physician said this was because although he felt the baby's pulse was positive, it seemed that there was more than one pulse, and it was so vague that it was difficult to distinguish, so he said to come back and take a closer look in half a month.

"What, Concubine Min is pregnant?"

Kangxi's voice was sharp and filled with incredible surprise. Was he going to be a father again? Why did this feeling feel so different from before?

Not to mention the imperial physician, even Mu Sili was frightened by him. This guy is not the first time to be a father, why is he making such a fuss?

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. When did you come?"

"It just arrived. You're pregnant. Don't move around so much. Be careful not to disturb the fetus."

Kangxi looked unusually nervous, and Mu Sili almost suspected that he was the one who was pregnant, not herself.

"I'm fine. I just got pregnant, how could it be so easy to get upset? But you, shouldn't you be handling state affairs in the Palace of Heavenly Purity right now? Is it okay for you to come to my place?"

"I am the emperor, I can go wherever I want, is it possible that I haven't had time to rest yet?

Molan, follow the imperial physician to ask about the precautions during pregnancy. Take good care of your mistress and don't let anything happen to her, otherwise I will hold you responsible."

"Yes, I will do my best to protect the safety of the master and the young master."

After Molan and the imperial physician left, Kangxi carefully helped Mu Sili sit down.

"I didn't expect you to be pregnant so soon. I thought it would take some time. But it's okay this way. Since you are pregnant, I want to give you some peace of mind.

Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, after you give birth safely, I will promote you to be my concubine. Then you can live in the main hall of Qixiang Palace with full authority."

Kangxi knew that ever since Mu Sili moved into the main hall of Qixiang Palace, rumors of her misconduct had been spreading outside.

But this was something he tacitly approved, so how could others dare to speak nonsense?

Fortunately, Mu Sili worked hard and was now pregnant, which gave him a reason to let her live in the main hall.

"I have no objection, but isn't my advancement a little too fast?

After all, I have only been serving you for more than a month, and even by the day of delivery, it will only be about a year.

I am not an ungrateful person. I am happy that you favor me, but I don’t want to make things difficult for you.

I can be promoted to the rank of concubine in a few years. Your Majesty, there is no need to rush, and I am not in a hurry either."

Kangxi knew Mu Sili's concerns, but he wanted to be willful for a rare moment and didn't want to hear her refusal.

"Since I have made a decision, you can just accept it with peace of mind. You don't have to rush, but you should know that the palace has strict rules and regulations. Only concubines above the rank of concubine can raise children on their own.

Could it be that you want to give the unborn child to another concubine to raise? If that is the case, then I can make you a concubine a few years later."

These words directly touched Mu Sili's sore spot. Wanting to adopt her child? Is that a dream?

"Then I would like to thank the emperor for his grace. Since the emperor has decided to make me a concubine, I would like to ask for a reward. I will personally teach my offspring in the future. What do you think?"

"How can that be? I will teach you myself. You know my abilities. Just be your favorite concubine. I will teach you the child."

Kangxi felt that a loving mother often spoils her child, so it would be better for him to teach his children himself.

But seeing the disappointed look in Mu Sili's eyes, he couldn't help but soften his heart. At worst, he would teach the prince, and the princess would let her teach.

"Okay, okay, if you give birth to a prince, I will teach him. If it's a princess, you will teach her. What do you think?"

"Is what the Emperor said true? What if I give birth to twins, a boy and a girl? Who should teach me?"

Kangxi said he didn't want to talk to her anymore. Twins? Their Aixinjueluo family hadn't had twins for many years since the founding of the country, so it was better not to have such unrealistic dreams.

Seeing that Kangxi ignored her, Mu Sili stopped wasting time. After all, her goal had been achieved, so nothing else mattered.

I wonder if Concubine De will still be able to smile now that the news of her pregnancy has spread.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine here. You can go and do your work. I need to rest for a while, otherwise I'll feel a little tired."

"Alright, then I won't disturb your rest. It's not even three months yet. I'll send someone to tell the Imperial Concubine that you're exempt from paying your respects."
