"Madam, it's getting late. I have to take my wife to the Yanxi Palace to pay my respects. I won't bother you any more."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Mu Sili with reluctance. It was such a pity that her granddaughter-in-law had to leave before she could even say a few words to her. She still wanted to talk to her.
But there is still a long time to come, and she believes that she will keep her word and come to Shoukang Palace to see her when she is free.
"I was inconsiderate. If I had thought more carefully, I wouldn't have delayed you. Now, let's go to the Yanxi Palace and pay our respects."
When Mu Sili came out of Shoukang Palace, she received a lot of rewards. She was very satisfied. The Queen Mother was obviously generous. She should spend more time with her in the future.
"I didn't expect the Queen to like you so much. You've received more rewards than even your sisters-in-law. You can't let this get out, or they'll isolate you."
"Isolated? Your worries are unnecessary. I am their sister-in-law. Even if they dislike me, they dare not show it.
Not only that, they have to pretend to be on good terms with me, otherwise it would be bad if word of this got to the Emperor's ears."
"You've given it a lot of thought. Since you have a plan in mind, I won't interfere. Now I have to go to the Yanxi Palace to pay my respects to the good Hui E'er Niang. Don't be afraid, Hui E'er Niang is not a bad person."
Mu Sili understood that Concubine Hui was indeed a good person. At least she did not kill him and allowed the sickly Concubine Liang to live in the Yanx Palace.
If it were someone else, they would have kicked her out long ago. How could they let her live in the Yanx Palace forever?
After all, Kangxi often went to the Yanx Palace, and the presence of such a person would make the Yanx Palace unlucky.
"I've remembered this, Master. Don't worry, I will treat Hui E Niang as my mother-in-law. However, Concubine Liang is your biological mother, and she is my mother-in-law. How should I treat her?"
Mu Sili's words stumped Yinsi. He hadn't really thought about how to deal with his mother.
Although he knew that given her personality she would definitely go to the side hall to pay her respects, he didn't want her to suffer any injustice.
"Mother has a bad temper and always feels that others look down on her. If you go to pay your respects, she will definitely make things difficult for you. In this situation, do you still want to pay your respects?"
"Embarrassing? That shouldn't be the case. This should be the first time that my mother and I have met. Why would my mother embarrass me?"
Mu Sili pretended to be confused, which made Yinsi feel sorry for her. What his mother said that day was that she would look down on her because of her noble birth, but now it seems that is not the case.
She has excellent character and a delicate mind. There is no such thing as looking down on others. It is my mother who is judging others by her own standards.
"Forget it, you have to go and pay your respects. If my mother says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart. She is my mother after all, and we must respect her."
"I understand, Master. Don't worry, I know what to do. Let's go to the main hall and pay our respects to Mother Hui first."
"good."
Concubine Hui had been waiting for a while. She knew that given Yinsi's personality, he would definitely come to pay his respects to her, so she made preparations early.
"Go and see if Xiao Ba and his wife have arrived. Logically, the Queen Mother won't keep them for too long, so make sure they don't get delayed on the way."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Eighth Prince and his wife have been out of Shoukang Palace for a while. They should be here soon. I'll go out and take a look."
Before she could leave, Yinsi brought Mu Sili in.
"Is this servant correct? The Eighth Prince and his wife have arrived."
"My son and his wife come to pay their respects to Mother Hui."
"Finally you're here! I thought you were delayed on the way. Xiao Ba, I watched you grow up. Now that you've started a family, I'm finally relieved."
"Thank you for your concern, Mother Hui. If you hadn't taken care of me since I was young, I don't know how much I would have suffered."
Yinsi was speaking the truth. Although Concubine Hui raised him to pave the way for his elder brother Yinzhi, his safe growth was inseparable from her, and he should thank her.
"What are you talking about? You are my adopted son, so naturally I have to take care of you. This is the Eighth Lady, right? I didn't even take a good look at you yesterday."
"My daughter-in-law pays her respects to Mother Hui. Isn't she here? Look, is she the same as the rumors said?"
"It's indeed different. I thought you wouldn't come to pay your respects to me. After all, I've only raised Xiao Ba for a few years. Even if you didn't come, I wouldn't say anything."
Although she said so, Mu Sili knew that she didn't mean it that way. After all, she regarded Yinsi as Yinzhi's helper, so how could she hope that they would not come?
Another point is that if they don't come, people outside will say that they are unfilial. Even for the sake of their own reputation, they will obediently come to the Yanx Palace to pay their respects.
Concubine Hui said this on purpose, in order to let them know that the consequences of not paying their respects would be serious.
"Mother Hui, you are wrong. Even if you didn't raise me, your daughter-in-law should come and pay her respects to you. What's more, Mother Hui still lives in the Yanxi Palace. It would be unreasonable for her not to come."
Concubine Hui looked at her in surprise. What did she mean by this? Did she accept Concubine Liang as her mother-in-law?
How could this be possible? If she recognized Concubine Liang, how could she, as a mother-in-law, ask her to urge Yinsi to join the Zhijunwang party?
"I thought you would look down on Concubine Liang, but I didn't expect it was my misunderstanding. Now that you have already met me, why don't you go to the side hall to see Concubine Liang?"
Having said that, Concubine Hui really hoped that they would refuse. After all, she felt that someone like Concubine Liang did not deserve other people's attention.
Who was Mu Sili to spoil her? Since she said so, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Thank you, Mother Hui, for your advice. I will go with you to the side hall to pay my respects to you."
Concubine Hui's face froze. She didn't expect Mu Sili to say that. She thought she would refuse, but she didn't expect her to agree.
But she had said it herself, and if she went back on her word, it would seem that she was not magnanimous enough, so she could only watch them go to the side hall to pay their respects to Concubine Liang.
Not only that, she also gave in a lot of gifts. When she thought about how she had given her so many extra rewards just to win over Yinsi, she felt upset.
"They probably won't be coming back. I'm feeling very depressed, so I'm asking the eldest concubine to serve them."
The first wife that Huifei mentioned was Yinzhi's second wife. She was not as gentle as Irgen Jueluo, so when she learned that Huifei asked her to serve her, she directly refused.
The reason for her refusal was that she had to take care of Hongyu. Hongyu was still young, and she could not leave his side to prevent anyone from attacking him.
When Concubine Hui heard the news, she almost exploded with rage. It was fine that Mu Sili didn't agree with her, but she was not her biological daughter-in-law, and she couldn't do anything about her.
But the eldest wife was her daughter-in-law, and she asked her to serve her because she was her wife. How could she dare to refuse?
