"Your Majesty, what you said is really funny. Who the Emperor wants to give the title of Empress to is his business. What does it have to do with me? Or does Your Majesty want me to become Empress?

I didn't expect that I was so important in your heart. I have been in the palace for more than half a year and yet I can sit on the throne of queen. It is obvious that your usual dislike for me was fake.

Don't worry, the emperor is in Kunning Palace now. Since you have such an idea, it proves that I am a good person. Why don't we go to Kunning Palace and talk to the emperor about this matter?

You also know that the Emperor favors me the most. Since the ceremony of enthroning the Empress hasn't taken place yet, why don't you ask the Emperor to replace the one who is enthroning her and let me take over?"

Mu Sili's words stunned Concubine Tong. She never thought that Mu Sili would say such a thing. She thought she would be sad and desperate.

After all, Kangxi's favor for her was obvious to all. She was the model that all the women in the harem envied, so it would be normal for her to become the queen.

But how could she say that it was she who wanted her to become the queen? If this word got to his and Xiaozhuang's ears, she would probably lose her position as the imperial concubine.

"How dare you say anything out loud, Concubine Chen, don't you want to live?"

"Look at what your Majesty said. Didn't you tell me that? Since you have the guts to sow discord between me and the Empress, I will of course report this to the Emperor and Empress.

I don’t know how they will punish you after they know this news. You know, I don’t like you. If I could see you being punished, I would be very happy.

It is true that peony cannot compare with the elegance and grace of peony, but all flowers have their own advantages. Why must I fight for the position of peony?

In my opinion, that position should be given to people with virtue and talent. The Queen is just such a person, so she deserves the position of Queen.

"You, however, are trying to sow discord between me and the Empress at this time. Are you trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waits behind?"

Concubine Tong looked at Mu Sili coldly. She had the feeling that Mu Sili could see through all her thoughts. When did she become so smart?

It is said that she was born into a slave family and served the Grand Empress Dowager since she was a child. The Grand Empress Dowager was of noble status, so how could she teach her these principles?

"I'm very curious why I would say such a thing. Don't forget that I and the Emperor grew up together as childhood sweethearts. How stupid do you think I could be?"

Concubine Tong's face became even uglier. Since she had said so, it would be stupid for her to continue to pester her. In that case, it would be better to leave early.

"I wonder how long you can be so proud, Concubine Chen. Childbirth is a life-or-death experience. Are you sure you can survive until the birth?"

"Then there's no need to worry, Your Majesty. Whether I can survive until then is not up to you, but up to the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager. Do you think they can't protect me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Tong turned around and left. She had come here to laugh at Mu Sili's jokes, so how could she end up laughing at herself?

After returning to Chengqian Palace, she was unwilling to give up and sent a message to the Tong family. She was obviously Kangxi's cousin, so why did he send her away with just the position of a noble concubine?

Forget about the position of queen, at least give her the position of imperial concubine. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of her love for me for so many years?

Tong Guowei was also helpless. He really didn't expect that Concubine Tong would dare to dream of changing to the position of Concubine without getting the position of Queen.

Although the rank of Imperial Noble Consort was higher than that of Vice Empress, it was already tacitly agreed after the appearance of Consort Dong E that Imperial Noble Consort could not appear at the same time as Empress. If one wanted to become Imperial Noble Consort, she must be a dead person.

But his daughter has a strong personality. If he explains the relationship to her directly, she will definitely not believe it. Otherwise, he would not let her enter the palace to plan for her under such circumstances.

To be honest, he felt sorry for her. When Empress Xiaokangzhang was still alive, she did say that she wanted to make her the empress, but she was gone and she was still young. How could he take it seriously?

To put it bluntly, if Kangxi and Xiaozhuang were willing to let her become the empress, how could the affairs of Hesheli and Nianhulu have happened?

"Tell your majesty that I cannot do anything about the Imperial Noble Consort. If your majesty insists on doing so, please go and speak to the Emperor yourself. This dynasty does not allow the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort to be together."

When Concubine Tong learned what Tong Guowei meant, she was completely dumbfounded. Since the position of Imperial Concubine was established, why not allow them to exist at the same time?

Is it possible that because of a concubine named Dong E, she has to lose everything that belongs to her? Why should she let a dead person ruin her future?

"Since my father won't help, I'll go find my uncle. He loves me the most and he definitely won't bear to see me suffer any injustice."

Concubine Tong wanted to send someone to the Duke's Mansion to ask Tong Guogang for help, but Tong Guowei informed Tong Guogang of her plan first, so he rejected her request.

For a moment, Concubine Tong felt like she was abandoned by the world. She was clearly working so hard to become the queen, so why were they holding her back?

As long as she becomes the queen, the glory of the Tong family can at least continue for decades. When the time comes, the new emperor can marry the daughter of the Tong family as his queen. What about the glory of the Tong family?

"Your Majesty, since both masters have said that the Imperial Concubine thing is not feasible, then let it go. Otherwise, if the news gets out, the Emperor will not let you off easily."

"What do you think I'm going to do by entering the palace? I don't have the emperor's favor, my family's support, or any children. Am I going to be suppressed by the Nianhulu family forever?

No, there is also Concubine Chen. She is now of noble status and is protected by the emperor. She also has the support of the entire Hesheli family. If she wants to become the queen, it will only take a few minutes.

No wonder my father and uncle didn't help me become the Imperial Noble Consort. It must be because the emperor has already promised this position to the Consort Chen, and they can't snatch it away, so they don't help me.

Concubine Chen is really lucky. A lowly maid who was born as a palace maid actually became an imperial concubine and had children in just over half a year. If she had ambitions, who in this palace could defeat her?

I really want to see the Queen and her fighting to the death, but unfortunately this kind of thing can only be thought about. No matter how much I think about it, it is useless if no one helps me.

Today, I learned a lesson: it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Since they are helping me, I will do it myself. I don't believe they can always be so successful! "

In Kunning Palace, Kangxi didn't know how to describe Concubine Tong. She was definitely stupid, otherwise why would she want to compete for the position of Imperial Concubine?

Ever since the previous emperor favored Dong Efei, he decided not to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort while the Empress was still in power. The prerequisite for becoming an Imperial Noble Consort is that there must be four people.
