After hearing the prince's joking question, Mu Sili suddenly felt that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

She had just punished Nanny Ling when the prince found out about it. Those who didn't know would have thought that the prince had sent someone to monitor her.

"Your Highness, are you making fun of me again? You said it yourself, 'Madame Ling is a servant. She did something wrong, so of course I have to punish her.'"

But considering that she is your wet nurse, I only gave her twenty slaps on the face, not a beating with a stick. You can't be angry with me."

"When did I ever say I was going to get angry? You're talking nonsense again. I'm telling you, I'm not on Madam Ling's side. Since you've made a mistake, you must be punished.

They say there is no order without rules. Madam Ling has indeed gone too far. She dares to interfere in my affairs. It seems I trust her too much, and she can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood."

"With your words, Your Highness, I feel relieved. Take care, Your Highness. I will never let you down."

Guaerjia just stood there watching the two of them talking. She couldn't help but wonder, if she had not observed mourning but married the prince early, would she be the one who is so close to the prince now?

But these were all her imaginations. Birth, old age, sickness and death were not something she could control. She was powerless and could only choose to accept them, but she still felt a sense of fear towards Mu Sili in her heart.

The prince dotes on her so much now. If it delays for two or three years, she will definitely have no place in Yuqing Palace. She must think of some way for herself.

After the prince left, Guaerjia walked up to Mu Sili. She wanted to see what magic she had that could make the prince so infatuated. This fact, just a princess, put so much pressure on her, she had to be on guard.

"You must be Li Gege of Yuqing Palace, right? I've heard of your name. His Highness seems to dote on you very much. Do you know who I am?"

Mu Sili looked at Guaerjia leisurely. She was sure that she was afraid of her, otherwise she would not say such words. She really didn't expect that she would fail because of such a small matter.

Kangxi had chosen her as the Crown Princess because he felt that her upbringing and etiquette were the most suitable, and she had been brought up according to the rules of a mother of a country since childhood, so she shouldn't be jealous.

Could it be that the tone she had just used when speaking to the prince was too much like a married couple, causing her to feel a sense of crisis? She'd better not harbor any ill will towards her, otherwise she would be unhappy.

Even if she was the Crown Princess appointed by Kangxi, it would be useless. Now that she hasn't even married into the Eastern Palace, he wants to treat her like a Crown Princess. It depends on whether she will accept it or not.

"I really don't know. This is the first time I've met this princess, right? I'm surprised she recognizes me. I wonder who this princess is and why she came to the Cining Palace to attend to the patient?"

"You really don't know who Ben Gege is? It seems you didn't know where Ben Gege was when he participated in the talent show. If that's the case, then Ben Gege will tell you personally that Ben Gege's surname is Guarjia."

Mu Sili showed a look of surprise when she heard this, as if she didn't expect that she was the future Crown Princess, which made Guaerjia think that she was afraid.

Just as she was waiting proudly for Mu Sili to greet her, she spoke.

"So you are Princess Guarjia of Lord Shi Wenbing's family, the Crown Princess Your Highness hasn't married yet. I wonder why you are looking for me. Could it be that you want to tell me your identity?"

Guaerjia felt that Yu Li said this on purpose to slap her in the face. Her face looked a little ugly. If Su Malagu had not been standing not far away, she really wanted to slap her.

"I will be marrying His Highness soon. When that happens, I will be the Crown Princess. Please don't always monopolize His Highness. You will only bring trouble to him."

"I have never been dominating Your Highness. I wonder how you could tell that I was clinging to Your Highness. Please tell me clearly that although I am only a princess, I will never do anything to harm Your Highness."

Guaerjia's face turned even uglier. She was clearly using her status as the future Crown Princess to threaten her, so how did it escalate to the level of harming the Crown Prince?

No wonder she is favored by the prince. It seems that she has some tricks up her sleeve. If that's the case, then she is her biggest rival since she entered the palace, and she must get rid of her.

If she really gave birth to a child for the prince, then the position of concubine would definitely fall on her.

Now that she can confront her as a princess, if she becomes the prince's concubine one day, will she still have a place as the legitimate princess in Yuqing Palace?

The Empress Dowager is now seriously ill. If she doesn't behave well, she will definitely be suppressed in Yuqing Palace.

"When did I ever say you would do anything to hurt His Highness? You're a person who's always making up stories. If you can't speak, go back to Yuqing Palace. You're not needed here."

"Princess, you have misunderstood me. I promised Your Highness that I would stay in the Cining Palace to tend to the sick. Unless the Empress Dowager gives the order, I will not leave.

However, I am very curious as to why you have come to the palace to attend to the Empress Dowager. Although you and His Highness have been granted marriage, you are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned."

Mu Sili's words were like a slap in the face of Guaerjia. Wasn't she so anxious to enter the palace to attend to the sick just to leave the impression that she was sensible to the prince?

If the prince was sensible, he would remember everything she did today. Even if Empress Xiaozhuang passed away, she would have the merit of taking care of her during her illness, so her future life would not be too bad.

Of course, she hoped for the best for Empress Xiaozhuang. After all, she would soon be out of mourning, and once she was out of mourning, she would be able to marry the prince. She had been waiting for this for four years and didn't want to wait any longer.

Even if she really wants to die, let her get married first, so that she won't have to worry all day long.

"This princess came to the palace to attend to the Empress Dowager because she was worried about her health. Do you think I came here for the Crown Prince like you did? You are so superficial. No wonder you can only be a concubine."

Mu Sili did not show any dissatisfaction with her words, because she was indeed a princess now, and this could not be faked.

"What the princess said is true. I am indeed of humble status, but I am here on guard under the order of His Highness. If the princess wants to insult me, I'd better endure it.

His Highness has been in a good mood recently, but I cannot guarantee that he will still have a good impression of you after hearing such words. After all, I cannot guess His Highness's thoughts."

After saying this, Mu Sili didn't look at Guaerjia anymore. She waited quietly outside the door. At this time, Xiaozhuang had indeed gone to bed. She wanted to improve her favorability, so she had to wait outside the door.

After hearing what she said, Guaerjia glared at her fiercely. A concubine or a princess could come to the Cining Palace to take care of the sick. When Xiaozhuang woke up later, she would definitely complain to her.
