The palace maid glanced at Concubine Tong covertly, and Mu Sili understood that she was trying to challenge Concubine Tong. Concubine Tong also saw this scene and she sneered.

"The Imperial Concubine is really funny. As soon as I arrived, her people arrived right after me. I have reason to suspect that you followed me here."

"Your Highness, you're joking. Isn't it that the Imperial Concubine is grateful for the Imperial Concubine's service to the Emperor, so she sent me here to give her some gifts? I never thought I'd run into you.

If you feel that I shouldn't be in Xianfu Palace, then I'll leave. However, this gift is for the concubine, so I dare not take it back. Please accept it."

The palace maid's words clearly said that Concubine Tong was too bullying and took advantage of the imperial concubine's absence to bully her palace maids, but as a slave, she could only obey.

"Oh! The concubine's people are as eloquent as she is. I can't compare to them. Let's go quickly, so as to avoid saying anything unpleasant later."

"I'll take my leave."

After the palace maid left, Concubine Tong lay down with a look of disdain on her face.

"Your Highness is truly hilarious. I wonder what she's planning when she looks at me? Concubine Nara, I might as well tell you that I'm here to make a deal with you."

Mu Sili looked at her in surprise. Was it appropriate for her to say so bluntly that she came to see her for a purpose?

However, since Concubine Tong was willing to come and talk things out with her, she was still willing to listen to her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I know that you are favored by the Emperor and that he will soon appoint a new harem. You will definitely have a place there, and you may not look down on me.

But I still have to tell you, this harem is full of intrigues and deceptions, you alone cannot protect Wan Fu, how about you and I join forces to defeat the imperial concubine first?

You should know that as the emperor's cousin, I have some things I don't lack. Even if the imperial concubine becomes the queen, she won't dare to touch me.

But you are different. You are just a concubine. If nothing unexpected happens, the most you will be given in this promotion is the title of a concubine. With my protection, you and Wan Fu can get better care.

Although I dare not say how capable I am, I can definitely save you and Wan Fu. Of course, you can also refuse. I just want to be your friend instead of your enemy.

I know it's a bit abrupt to tell you this all of a sudden, but I'm serious. I hope you can think about it carefully. The Queen is hypocritical. You saw what happened just now. I don't know what to say.

As Concubine Tong spoke, she sighed. Mu Sili knew that what she said was true, but she guessed wrong. This time, she was not given the title of concubine but of consort.

Not only that, when she becomes a concubine, the prince will be indirectly raised by her, and she will not have to become someone else's vassal.

If Concubine Tong really had such great abilities, she would have ascended to the throne of Queen long ago. Why would she still be a concubine until now?

The situation was different for the imperial concubine. Perhaps because of her family background, after Hesheli passed away, Kangxi immediately made her an imperial concubine.

Although the imperial concubine was a concubine's daughter, she had the entire Niuhuru clan behind her. The Niuhuru clan was a large clan, different from the Tonggiya clan which had just gained a foothold.

Although it took three years to decide on the position of queen, the fact that Kangxi never considered making Concubine Tong the next queen shows that she was actually just a cousin in Kangxi's heart.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to enter the palace as a concubine.

But having one more friend is better than having one more enemy. Since she offered herself to her, how could she refuse?

Being a friend does not mean becoming a vassal. I hope Concubine Tong is not wrong, otherwise she can leave at any time.

"Your Majesty is right. From now on, we will help each other in this palace and we will definitely be able to live a good life."

Help each other? Concubine Tong smiled helplessly. It seemed that Mu Sili had no intention of becoming her vassal.

But it’s better this way. At least on the surface they are a team, and only the two of them help each other. Even if the imperial concubine becomes the queen, she will not have the courage to take action against them.

"Just as you said, sister, have a good rest. I'll go back first."

"Her Majesty, take care. Yuan Shuang, I'll see you off."

“No need.”

As soon as Concubine Tong left, Yuan Shuang looked at Mu Sili worriedly. She was afraid that she had rejected Concubine Tong just now.

Although Concubine Tong was a childless concubine, as Kangxi's cousin, even if she had no children in her life, as long as she did not do anything against the will of heaven, her life would not be too bad.

If Mu Sili had rejected her advances just now, the entire Xianfu Palace would have been in danger.

Fortunately, she knew her limits. Although what she said meant that they should become sisters and help each other, not become Tong Fei's vassal, it seemed that Tong Fei's attitude was satisfactory.

That’s good, at least Xianfu Palace is safe.

"Why are you looking at me with such worry? Yuanshuang, Concubine Tong is right. If I can become sisters with her, I won't be lonely in this palace in the future.

Wan Fu is still young, and with the help of Concubine Tong, I can raise him better. I don't have any ambitions, I just hope he can be safe.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he and Wan Fu are too close, and I alone cannot protect them with my strength.

The Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager have implicitly asked me to take care of the Crown Prince. Even if it means sacrificing my own life, I will not let the Crown Prince suffer the slightest harm."

Yuan Shuang was shocked. There were so many factors that she had not expected. She must have misunderstood. As her servant, she would do her best to protect the prince and Wan Fu.

"I understand. My lady, don't worry. I will build Xianfu Palace into an iron wall and will not allow even the slightest threat to enter."

Mu Sili found it funny. She said those words to Kangxi. Although he had never come, his spies were everywhere in the palace.

It seems that he already knows that Concubine Tong came to see her. Since he knows it, he will naturally think that the reason she is on good terms with Concubine Tong is for the benefit of the Crown Prince and Wan Fu.

The most important thing is that her current character is a silly girl who has no idea that she has a place in the six palaces of Dafeng. Since it is a play, of course she has to make it more realistic.

As she expected, when Kangxi learned what she said, he felt guilty about her and decided to treat her better in the future. He would let her know that being a concubine was not the end.

Kangxi stayed in Xianfu Palace again that night. He felt that he had been working very hard recently and should be able to make Mu Sili pregnant soon.

When he thought about giving Wan Fu a younger brother, the pride in his eyes became more and more obvious. Who would refuse a soft and sweet child?

The next day, the news of Rongxian's illness reached Kangxi's ears. Kangxi was furious. What's wrong with Ma Jia, the concubine? If she can't take good care of Rongxian, he will let her move to Nansanso.

Every now and then, either she or someone else gets into trouble. Does she think he has a lot of free time and can visit her at Chuxiu Palace anytime?
