In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was afraid that the Imperial Noble Consort would be anxious, so he called her over. Here, he had to drink tea with his wife.

"Fourth Prince, the Fourth Lady has arrived."

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor Father and the Empress."

"Daughter-in-law Ulanara pays her respects to the Emperor and Empress."

"Hurry up, Xiao Si, now that you have a family, I won't play those empty games. This title is the same as your elder brother's, both are Duoluo Beile."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After serving tea to the two of them, Mu Sili and Yinzhen left with a bunch of rewards.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had passed away three years ago, and according to the rules they had to go to the Cining Palace.

When Su Malagu learned that Yinzhen brought the mousili to the Cining Palace to pay homage to Empress Xiaozhuang, she hurried to the Cining Palace.

"This old servant pays his respects to the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Lady."

"Aunt Suma, please get up quickly. I am bringing my wife to pay respect to our ancestors."

"My Lord Beile and his wife are so thoughtful. The Empress Dowager will definitely be pleased to know that you have come to pay your respects to her.

It just so happens that the Empress Dowager has asked me to prepare something for you. I will go get it right away."

"Did the ancestor prepare something for me?"

"That's not the case. It's prepared for the Fourth Lady."

When Su Malagu took the small box, Mu Sili's eyes lit up.

If she guessed correctly, these were some shops owned by Empress Xiaozhuang in the capital.

As she expected, what Xiaozhuang gave her was a shop on a street in the capital.

"The Empress Dowager knew you had always wanted to open a shop and do business, so she gave you all the shops on this street. She said she hoped you would be as happy and carefree as when she first met you."

"Thank you, ancestor, for your gift."

After bidding farewell to Su Malagu, the two went to Ningshou Palace.

Now that the Grand Empress Dowager is gone, the highest-ranking person in the palace is the Empress Dowager. However, the Empress Dowager likes quietness, and except for the first and fifteenth day of each month when the Imperial Noble Concubine brings people to pay respects, she usually does not appear and has a very low presence.

However, although her presence was low, no one dared to underestimate her, because not only did Empress Xiaozhuang reserve manpower for her, but Emperor Kangxi was also very filial to her.

Ningshou Palace.

"Empress Dowager, the Fourth Prince has arrived with his fourth wife."

"Please ask them to come in."

The Queen Mother loved her grandchildren very much, but not as much as Yinqi and the fifth princess Wenxian who grew up by her side.

Wen Xian was Yinzhen's biological sister, but she was raised by the Empress Dowager since she was a child. Not only was she not close to Yinzhen, she was not even close to her biological mother, Concubine De.

"Grandson pays his respects to Mam."

"Granddaughter-in-law Ulanara pays her respects to the Imperial Mam."

"Get up, Yinzhen, you're married now and will soon be able to be a father. I hope you can be a good husband and a good father. Your wife is a good woman, treat her well."

"Yes, grandson knows."

After leaving Ningshou Palace, Yinzhen frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"Fujin, do you think I should go to Yonghe Palace?"

"Yonghe Palace? Yeah, after all, Consort De is my biological mother, so I should go there.

But from what I have heard, Concubine De doesn't like you, especially in the years since Fourteenth Brother was born, she never even thought of you."

Yinzhen's face darkened a little. He remembered that when Defei was still a concubine when he was a child, she would come to him from time to time when the Empress Dowager was not around and tell him how much she missed him and how reluctant she was to leave him.

She even tried to sow discord between herself and the Empress Dowager, saying that the Empress Dowager did not allow her to visit her.

As a result, after her sixth brother died of illness, she blamed all the mistakes on herself, saying that she was the one who killed her sixth brother.

To be honest, he didn't want to go, but due to filial piety, he had to go.

"Go ahead, I'll protect you."

Yinzhen suddenly laughed. It turned out that he was protected by his wife.

"Okay, let's go over there."

Yonghe Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here with his Fourth Wife."

"Fourth Prince? When was he conferred the title of Prince? How come I didn't know about it?

Also, how did you know he was coming to Yonghe Palace? Chengqian Palace is right across the street."

Defei spoke nonchalantly, saying that Fourteen would soon be five years old and would move to the prince's residence in a year.

She had to prepare more things for him while there was still time. After all, it would not be easy for him to return to Yonghe Palace to live after going to the prince's residence.

As for Yinzhen, he is a black-hearted person. It doesn’t matter whether he comes to Yonghe Palace or not. I don’t even want to see him.

"When the Fourth Prince went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to express his gratitude, the Emperor decreed that he be granted the title of Prince.

Your Majesty, you are the mother of the Fourth Prince, and I know you don’t like him.

But the Fourth Prince has just gotten married and you're already showing your dislike for him. It would be bad if the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort knew about it."

Defei originally just didn't want to see Yinzhen, but now after hearing what the palace maid said, she had to take it seriously.

Kangxi attached great importance to filial piety. As Yinzhen's biological mother, he should have brought his new bride to pay his respects and offer him tea.

Moreover, the daughter-in-law she originally had her eyes on was her niece from her natal family, but she didn't expect the imperial concubine to intervene and decide on Ulanara early on, leaving her no chance to refute.

Now, it's a good opportunity to give her a good scolding and vent her anger. After all, she is her real mother-in-law and no one dares to gossip about her.

After all, the mother-in-law has to set rules for her daughter-in-law. Who dares to say that this is wrong?

Thinking of this, she started to put on airs. When they came, she told them that she was resting and asked them to wait.

"My lady, is this not good?"

"It's okay, I'm just tired."

The nanny had no choice but to go out and guard.

"This servant pays respects to the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Lady."

"Mammy, where is Mother De? Master has brought his wife to pay her respects to Mother De."

"Um... the queen is resting and hasn't gotten up yet. Prince and his wife should wait here for a while."

"Hasn't Consort De stood up yet?"

"Yes, my Lady."

"Empress Defei is so blessed. I wonder if the Emperor knows that his favorite concubine is still sleeping at this hour?"

The nanny's face darkened. Only today did she realize that the Fourth Lady was not a easy person to get along with. She even openly despised her mother-in-law at the gate of Yonghe Palace.

"You are too kind, Fourth Lady. The Empress just felt a little unwell and went to rest. After all, she didn't know you two would come to Yonghe Palace.

Please wait a moment, Fourth Prince and Fourth Lady. I will go and inform Her Majesty right away."

"Go ahead."

Yinzhen didn't say anything, but his clenched hands showed that he was not calm at the moment.

His biological mother, Concubine De, really didn't care about him and even trampled on his face.

Mu Sili secretly pulled his sleeve, then leaned close to talk to him.

"Let's wait here for a while, then I'll pretend to faint and you can carry me away.

I'll take care of the rest, you don't have to worry about it. I've already said I'll protect you, trust me."

"good."

After the nanny went in, she never came out because Concubine De was having a meal.
