"Without an empress or imperial concubine in the harem, I am the highest-ranking person. If the emperor wants to appoint a queen, I will be the first choice. How could she have the guts to refuse me?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. The eldest wife may have said this because she wants to take care of the eldest prince. Otherwise, how could she have the courage to refuse you?"
"She's incredibly brave, this is the first time anyone has dared to reject me, and I can't do anything about it. Otherwise, I'll make her pay!"
If it weren't for her grandson Hongyu, she really wanted to make her kneel outside and learn the rules.
She is her mother-in-law, and she is so filial to her?
"Your Highness is right. How about this? Since this matter is the fault of the First Lady, why don't you tell the Prince and let him deal with her?"
Concubine Hui was a little hesitant. After all, she was her daughter-in-law. If she made a fool of herself, it would be her shame. She just didn't come to serve her. It would still be her fault if the incident became public.
Today is the first day that Yinsi and his wife come to pay their respects. If Kangxi knew that she was deliberately making things difficult for his daughter-in-law, he would probably be angry with her.
Although she had a son, Yinzhi, by her side, she was not a good actress and was not deeply favored by Emperor Kangxi.
Even for her son's sake, she couldn't cause trouble at this time, otherwise she would be the one who suffered.
"Well, since she wants to take care of Hongyu, then let her do it. If Hongyu gets sick, I'll make her suffer."
"Your Majesty is right."
Yinsi and Mu Sili were not aware of what was happening here because they were paying their respects to Concubine Liang.
"Mother, please have some tea."
Mu Sili did what she said and was quite respectful to Concubine Liang, but it was her respect that made Concubine Liang unhappy.
She was definitely acting for Yinsi to see. Otherwise, why would someone like her be so respectful to her?
Once Yinsi leaves, her true nature will definitely show up, and then who knows how to humiliate her.
Since she was determined to humiliate her, then come on. She wanted to see whether Yinsi would protect his wife or his mother.
"Xiao Ba, can I drink this tea? I'm worried that drinking this will make you and your wife laugh at others. How about not drinking it?"
Yinsi looked at her with a headache, he really didn't know what she was going to do. Since Mu Sili offered her tea, she should just drink it. Why say so much?
"Mother, Fu Jin is offering you tea, just drink it. Don't ask too many questions. Fu Jin is a filial son, so don't think too much."
"But mother is worried that it will bring trouble to you, or rather, to mother. You know, mother is just a noble lady, and your wife is of noble birth. Mother is worried that she will look down on me."
Mu Sili gave a polite yet elegant smile, which was really funny. If she wanted to embarrass her, she would not have come today.
I didn't expect that she would do this even after she came to offer her tea. Does she think she is easy to bully?
Or is it that she just can't stand seeing Yinsi doing well? Otherwise, how can you explain her behavior?
Yinsi also looked at her with an unpleasant expression. Couldn't she just drink her tea? Why did she have to throw dirty water on Fu Jin?
If she hadn't offered to come and pay her respects, he wouldn't have wanted to bring her here.
"Mother, are you saying so much because you don't want to drink tea with your daughter-in-law or are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for her? Do you also want to set rules for your daughter-in-law like Hui Mother and the others did?
If you have such an idea, then your son can only advise you to give up as soon as possible. Your son is marrying a wife to spend his life with, not a punching bag to learn the rules and be bullied in front of you.
You may not know that if Fu Jin hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have wanted to bring her here. After all, you have such a personality, and I didn't want her to misunderstand me."
Concubine Liang looked at him in shock. What did he mean? Did he think she was not worthy of being his mother-in-law?
But she is his biological mother. No matter how angry he is, he cannot go against her, otherwise he will be called unfilial.
She had been worried that he would forget his mother after getting a wife. Now it seems that her worry was not wrong. He really had forgotten his mother after getting a wife.
"Xiao Ba, everything I did was for your sake. Is this how you treat me? I'm really sad. You were such a filial child when you were little."
Yinsi was helpless. He had always been filial, but she was not satisfied and wanted a lot of things. Otherwise, how could their mother-son relationship have gone so far?
If her little wish is fulfilled today, Mu Sili will be oppressed by her forever.
As she said, she didn't marry her just to let her come here and suffer grievances. If her mother doesn't change her mind, she will ask Mu Sili to come to the Yanx Palace less often in the future.
Anyway, he is still favored by the emperor, so it doesn't matter even if people say he is unfilial. It's just a good opportunity to give them some evidence so that they won't keep an eye on him.
He had his eyes on that position, but if he took it, his mother would bully his people even more severely, and he would not allow it.
Mu Sili had no idea that Yinsi had decided not to compete for the throne because Liang Guiren wanted to set rules for her. If she knew, she would definitely slap her in the face.
Since Kangxi wanted his son to be filial and was worried that he would treat his wife better, why didn't he refuse when he was engaged?
"Mother, my son has always been very filial. It's you who has changed. Didn't you encourage your son to make progress? Why do you hold him back even though he's making progress?
Or do you intend to let your son live out his life alone so that you won't be separated from him? If so, why don't you go and explain it to the Emperor?"
"No, I haven't thought about it that way. You know I've always wanted you to be well, so how could I let you die alone?"
Concubine Liang was anxious. This was her son. If she really became estranged from him over such a trivial matter, it would be a loss.
"Aren't we supposed to serve tea? Mother didn't mean it just now, Little Eighth Lady, let's begin."
Concubine Liang thought that after she said this, Mu Sili would act according to her ideas, but she didn't expect that she just looked at her coldly without taking any action.
At that moment she knew that her previous words had offended her daughter-in-law, and she felt a little bitter. She just wanted her son to value her more, but her approach was wrong.
She felt suffocated at the thought of having to bow to her daughter-in-law, but if she didn't, she would become estranged from him.
Forget it, they are her son and daughter-in-law after all, so she has to bow her head to them. As long as he makes more progress, she will make him a concubine or a princess sooner or later. When the time comes, if she wants to set rules for her, she will have to accept it.
"It's my fault this time. Don't hold it against me. You know I didn't do it on purpose. I was just afraid that you wouldn't be close to me."
Thinking about how late it was, Mu Sili decided not to argue with her and wanted to go back to sleep.
"Since mother has said so, then my daughter-in-law and I will definitely not say anything. Banxia, bring the tea."
