At the beginning, he still had expectations for Concubine De. After all, she was his biological mother. How could he not have any expectations at all?

He still remembered that when they were little, she would always secretly come to Chengqian Palace to see him and tell him how much she missed him. He thought she loved him, but he didn't expect that she was just pretending.

After he returned to Yonghe Palace, he was either treated coldly or scolded for no reason, which he didn't understand.

After all, he is also the son of the Emperor, and was spoiled by the Empress Dowager when he was in Chengqian Palace. Why should he be treated like this when he returns to his biological mother?

He always thought that it was because he did not grow up with his biological mother, so he behaved very filially. However, no matter how filial he was, he could not compare to his fourteenth brother who grew up with his biological mother.

From the comparison again and again, he finally believed the fact that she didn't care about him as her son at all. In her heart, he was just an insignificant person, not worth her attention.

It's funny to say that there are really no other bannermen in his courtyard except Mu Sili, not even people from the Uya family. He didn't think of her as disgusted before, but now it seems that she really hates him.

Since she hated him, why did she act out a loving mother and filial piety in front of the emperor?

Forget it, why think about her? There is no need to make himself unhappy. It is better to prepare to go into the backyard. He heard that she looks average, and he wants to see how average she is.

Mu Sili didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely complain that the original owner looked very ordinary. But it was different now that she was here. She was still young anyway, and she would become more and more beautiful as time went by.

"I understand. Since Niuhulu is already waiting for me, I will go over and accompany her now. It's a good opportunity to have a meal in her courtyard."

Su Peisheng looked at him in surprise. Are you serious? The prince actually wants to have a meal in her courtyard. What a favor! Could it be that those words have such a great impact?

It seems that there will be another Concubine Li in this mansion. I just hope that she will not be as arrogant as Concubine Li and not take Concubine Li seriously. Otherwise, the more favored she is now, the more miserable she will be in the future.

"What are you standing there for? Do you still need me to treat you?"

"No, Your Highness has misunderstood. I will go to Tingfeng Pavilion with you right now."

It is said that Mu Sili lives in Tingfeng Pavilion with Geng. She hopes Geng will be more sensible and not come out to steal her favor at this time, otherwise her good days will be over.

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. Geng was unhappy when she learned that Yinzhen was going to favor Mu Sili first. She felt that she was more beautiful than her and Yinzhen should favor her first, so she stopped people directly at the door of Tingfeng Pavilion.

"I pay my respects to the prince. My sister is still getting ready. Why don't you come to my room for a cup of tea first and then come over after my sister is done?

Your Highness is tired after a busy day. I have some skills, so why not let me massage your shoulders so that you won't feel overwhelmed when you are with your sister?"

Su Peisheng was speechless. Did she know what she was saying? What did she mean by the prince being unable to favor Mu Sili? Wasn't this clearly saying that the prince was incompetent?

What on earth was the Geng family thinking? They actually sent such a person to the palace for selection, and by chance she was sent to the prince's palace.

Uh...it can't be what he thinks, right?

Yinzhen and Su Peisheng both thought of Concubine De. She probably let her into the palace because of her stupidity.

She really cared about him. She sent the daughter of a fourth-rank official, a fool, to him like this. Wasn't she afraid that he would be angry?

"Your Highness, why are you still standing there? Come in with me. Trust me, I promise you will be satisfied."

Geng thought she was better than Mu Sili and that Yinzhen would go back to the room with her after she said such seductive words. Unexpectedly, before Yinzhen could answer, Mu Sili came out.

"I pay my respects to the prince. Sister Geng, what are you doing? The prince wants me to sleep with him today instead of you, but you are deliberately blocking him from entering. Is this how the Geng family teaches their daughters?"

I thought he was a non-competitive person, but I didn't expect him to be so ambitious and even want to steal her favor.

If someone else came to steal her favor today, she could let it go, but not Geng. If she gave in, then from today on, everyone would be inferior to her. She was not a fool, so how could she let her get what she wanted?

Geng looked at Mu Sili with an unpleasant expression. Didn't he go out to wash up? How come he came back so soon? And the prince, couldn't he answer quickly?

"Sister, you're joking. I just felt the room was a bit stuffy so I came out to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to run into the prince. It wasn't that I intentionally stopped the prince from coming in. I don't have that much courage.

"But sister, why did you come out so quickly? Didn't you say you were going to wash up? You didn't think your sister was going to snatch the prince away so you came out without washing up, did you?"

The disdain in her tone was obvious. Mu Sili didn't say anything. How on earth did she get into the mansion? Was Concubine De's vision really that bad?

"How dare you, Geng! You've just entered the palace and you're already busy vying for my favor. Do you think I'll be fooled by you? Since I said I was going to Niuhulu's room, I won't be entering yours.

Geng has committed treason and attempted to seduce this prince. She is punished with one month's confinement. If she still shows no repentance after one month, she will be demoted to a concubine. This prince does not need fools in his house."

When Geng heard that she was going to be under house arrest, she panicked instantly. She was under house arrest as soon as she entered the mansion. How would she survive in the future?

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. I was just joking with you. I know I was wrong. Please don't confine me, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to stay in your house."

"Your Majesty, I have already sent for food. Please come in."

Mu Sili didn't care whether Geng was sad or not. She was so stupid, so she had to pay the price. Fortunately, Yinzhen was determined, otherwise if he entered Geng's yard, she would become the laughing stock of the backyard.

"Strange, Geng offended me, but you seem even angrier than me? Could it be that you're angry that I didn't reject her right away?"

Yinzhen had some good feelings towards Mu Sili, especially after seeing that she was not as ordinary-looking as rumored, his liking for her increased even more.

He was stunned after he said this. Ever since he returned to Yonghe Palace, he had forgotten that he could still joke. He didn't expect that his true nature would be exposed when he first met Mu Sili today. It was really surprising.

"I dare not be angry with the prince. This entire Prince's Mansion belongs to you. Even if you really go to her room, I can't do anything about it. After all, I have dignity, so I can't go to her room to ask for someone."

Mu Sili pouted while talking to Yinzhen, and her words showed her unhappiness. Yinzhen found it very interesting. He hadn't been happy for a long time, and today was a real surprise.
