"I am your cousin after all, and I have no ambition to be the queen. Can you really bear to see me unable to get what I want?

After all, I have been honest and dutiful all these years. If you continue to ignore me like this, I will be angry.

You also know that the position of Queen has become vacant. I originally wanted to push Concubine Yi's sister to the position. After all, she has made great contributions in giving birth to a son and deserves the position of Queen.

But I think your behavior is too evil. I want to stop it and persuade my sister, Concubine Yi, not to become the queen! "

The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched unconsciously again. What sin had he committed that made him have such a concubine?

If Concubine Tong was not his cousin, he would have had her kicked out. But she was his biological cousin and had a good relationship with Mu Sili, so he couldn't do that.

It's not impossible to let Yinzhi register her name. Rong Guiren will have to live in the cold palace in the future and probably won't be able to leave. Yinzhi doesn't need a mother like this.

Concubine Tong raised him personally, and raised him from a weak child who needed care to his current healthy appearance. It is obvious that she put a lot of thought into it.

It is estimated that in Yinzhi's eyes, this is the only mother. Since she said that she is willing to sit on the throne of noble concubine for life and only asked that Yinzhi be registered under her name, he has no reason to refuse this request.

"I didn't say I disagreed. Why did you say so much nonsense? I can tell you that you can just go to Yikun Palace and sit for a while. Don't stay there for a while.

You are now a concubine, so please have some self-awareness. I am embarrassed to tell others that you are my cousin. It is embarrassing."

Done!

"Isn't this because I'm afraid you won't agree? I came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity on the advice of my sister, Concubine Yi. Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't let anything slip.

We will have a banquet later to entertain Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui. Would Your Majesty like to join us? Forget it, we won’t bring you along with us women. You can have fun by yourself.”

After saying this, Concubine Tong left the Palace of Heavenly Purity in a hurry, leaving Kangxi in a state of disarray.

"Liang Jiugong, when did I become so unpopular? If I remember correctly, it was the Imperial Concubine who begged me for this matter today, right?"

"That's true, but the Imperial Concubine said she has to go back to host a banquet and doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you."

"Is it too late for me to regret now? She really doesn't take me, the emperor, seriously. Since the imperial edict hasn't been issued yet, I'll just pretend I don't know."

"I knew Your Majesty wanted to go back on his word, so I deliberately came back with a surprise attack. Just as I expected, you really do regret it. I will remember this and tell my sister, Concubine Yi."

The sudden appearance of Concubine Tong scared Kangxi. He was speechless. These women in the harem were so elusive. Didn’t they consider his feelings?

"Come back here. I was just joking. Don't say anything to Concubine Yi, lest she misunderstand me."

"Then does what you just said still count? This is all I have to ask. If you think it doesn't count, I can ignore it."

"It counts, how could it not count! Xiao Si is your son. I will issue an order to change his imperial certificate to your name. You can rest assured now, right?"

"Look at what you said, cousin. I was just joking with you. Since the order has been issued, I will go back first. I'm leaving."

"I don't know what sin I have committed. As the ruler of a country, I have to endure their unwarranted humiliation!"

Liang Jiugong lowered his head and said nothing. After all, it was all his own fault. If he had stubbornly expressed his unwillingness to change the Fourth Prince's imperial edict, how could the Imperial Concubine have controlled him?

"Since Concubine Yi is going to Chengqian Palace for a banquet today, I will go there later and go to the study. I should also pay attention to the studies of the Crown Prince and his men."

Liang Jiugong sighed silently for Yinzhi, the Crown Prince, and Wan Fu, wondering how they would feel when they knew that Kangxi was going to test their homework.

The next morning, Kangxi issued an imperial decree to register Yinzhi under the name of Concubine Tong. Tong Guowei was stunned on the spot.

The Imperial Concubine is his daughter. The Emperor registered the Fourth Prince, born to Concubine Rong, under her name. If she becomes the Empress, the Fourth Prince will become the legitimate son.

He looked at Soetu carefully. Would this old guy eat him?

The Tong family's power has just gotten on track. If Soetu joins forces with the prince's party to attack them, they will not be able to resist!

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you unhappy that the Fourth Prince is registered under the name of the Imperial Concubine? If you are not satisfied, just raise your opinion with the Emperor. I don't want to see you being so cautious."

Soetu's disgusted expression made Tong Guowei realize that this matter was carried out with their tacit consent. At that moment, he felt relieved, and it was good that his daughter had someone to rely on.

Later, Tong Guowei received a letter from Concubine Tong, the meaning of which was very clear: she supported Mu Sili's ascension to the throne because she was able to have a son thanks to Mu Sili.

Tong Guowei is a shrewd man and knows the interests involved.

Kangxi could see how much he loved Mu Sili. Although he regretted that his daughter could not become the queen, there was nothing wrong with having a prince from the Tong family.

So before Kangxi could react, a wave of urging him to establish a queen arose in the court, and unsurprisingly, the target was Mu Sili.

Kangxi originally wanted to temporarily refuse on the grounds that the queen had just been deposed, but they were so enthusiastic that he had to accept it reluctantly.

"Since all of you believe that Concubine Yi is capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of Empress, I will now issue an edict to establish her as Empress. I hope that all of you will respect the Empress as much as you respect me."

"Your Highness, I will respect you."

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Tong looked at Mu Sili with a teasing look on her face.

"How about it? Do you like this great gift from me? Speaking of which, you are the only one in this palace who can convince me. I am willing to bow down to you."

"Sister, you're joking again. The position of Queen is not easy to sit on. I have to raise children, so how can I have so much time to manage the harem?

How about this, my younger sister takes over the throne of Queen, but the management of the six palaces will be handed over to my elder sister. You know my younger sister is lazy and would never sit if she could lie down."

"What's the big deal? I'll help you take care of it. But I have something to tell you. The emperor seems to be a bit of a wife killer. You have to be more assertive to suppress him. Remember that?"

Seeing that Concubine Tong looked as if it was true, Mu Sili couldn't help but twitch her lips. What she said sounded like it was true, and she almost believed it.

"Sister, please stop talking like that. The Emperor is not unlucky with his wife. The Empress Dowager died in an avalanche, and the Empress Dowager was only deposed from the position of Empress. She's not dead yet. How can she be unlucky with her wife?"

"I understand, sister, don't worry, I won't say this again in the future."
