I thought that after Mu Sili became the queen, she would take back the palace power in her hands to consolidate her position as queen.
She never thought that not only did she not take it back, but she was also willing to give it to her, which made her feel trusted.
Her life is so good now, she doesn't want to break it at all.
Unfortunately, her mother sent a letter in yesterday. She thought that her mother did this to show her concern for her well-being in the palace, so she was very much looking forward to it.
However, when she learned the content of the letter, she felt terrible.
Her mother actually did not hesitate to hurt her own legitimate daughter who had become a noble concubine for the sake of that concubine's daughter. She really couldn't figure out what was in her mind. Could it be that she was really confused?
Look at what the letter says. My concubine doesn't want to marry someone lower than me, so let me do whatever I want.
What do you mean by "wait and see"? Is there any man in this world with a higher status than Emperor Kangxi? Isn't this clearly about entering the palace as a concubine?
Does my mother really think that I am still the person who first entered the palace two years ago and needed the protection of my family to survive?
Wait for her. She has already sent the letter to the Duke's Mansion. I think my uncle has seen the letter, right? I really want to know how my uncle will deal with this matter.
Tong Guogang had indeed seen the letter. Since the two families lived close to each other, he went straight to Tong's house with a stick and beat Tong Guowei so hard that he couldn't get out of bed.
"How could the Tong family produce a scum like you? You don't favor the legitimate daughter but favor the concubine, and you even hurt the legitimate daughter for the concubine.
Do you think that our Tong family will be able to prosper for a hundred years with the influence left by Empress Xiaokangzhang?
Do you still think that I am too old to beat you? You can try and see if I am really old!
Tong Guowei felt extremely aggrieved. He admitted that he favored the concubine's daughter, after all, he was also involved in it, but he did not admit that he harmed the legitimate daughter for the concubine's daughter.
He was not stupid. Although the imperial concubine was not favored in the palace, she was valued by Kangxi and her status was very high.
Now I just want to restore our father-daughter relationship, so how could I do anything to hurt her?
"Brother, can you please explain to me what happened? I didn't even know what happened, but I got beaten up by you."
Tong Guogang didn't waste any words and directly handed the letter from Tong Jia to Tong Guowei. After reading it, Tong Guowei was furious. It was obvious that his wife was trying to harm her. It was unforgivable!
"Don't worry about this, big brother. Please tell the queen that I will take care of this matter."
Seeing that he was indeed unaware of the situation, Tong Guogang told him to handle it carefully and then left.
Tong Guowei took the letter and went straight to the main courtyard. Coincidentally, Madam Tong and the concubine were there, and he heard them plotting against Tong Jia.
After learning that they were planning to enter the palace to replace Tong Jia's position, Tong Guowei became angry and slapped each of them twice.
"I really didn't expect you to be so foolish. Empress Chengqian is your biological daughter, yet you don't think about solving her problems, but instead make things difficult for her for a concubine's daughter.
"I really want to ask, could this concubine's daughter be from your womb? Why is she more beloved by you than the Empress and the Third Lady? If she is indeed from your womb, then who gave birth to the Third Lady?"
Madam Tong's face turned pale. Wasn't Tong Guowei slandering her? Wasn't she doing this for the Empress?
If she had not been incompetent and lacked the favor of Kangxi, she would not have thought of letting a concubine's daughter enter the palace to help her consolidate her favor.
"As a concubine's daughter, why do you always run to the main courtyard? Someone who doesn't know you would think you are the legitimate daughter. You have no manners at all. Go back to your own courtyard."
Tong Ergege's face turned pale and blue. What was going on? Didn't her father support her a lot before? Why did he suddenly become so rude?
Besides, although she was a concubine's daughter, she was raised under the name of her legal mother since childhood. The outside world thought she was a legal mother's daughter, and even she herself thought so.
But now it was Tong Guowei's father who first mentioned that she was a concubine's daughter. This was simply too much!
"Father, how could you say that to your daughter? She grew up in the main courtyard and has a very close relationship with her eldest and third sisters. I did this for their sake. You're really hurting her."
Unfortunately, Tong Guowei was only thinking about the fact that he was beaten because of the two of them, and he had no mood to watch her acting at all.
Mrs. Tong wanted to say something to help, but after being glared at by Tong Guowei, she dared not say anything. Seeing this, Tong San Gege could only obediently return to her own courtyard.
Tong Sangege's plan to enter the palace was resolved, and Tong Jia was very grateful to Mu Sili because it was Mu Sili who came up with the idea for her.
Thinking of Mousse Li's triplets, she loved the second one especially, so she started making small clothes for him again.
In the Cining Palace, Kangxi brought Mu Sili to pay his respects to Empress Xiaozhuang and discuss some things with her.
"Madam, I now have seven princes. I want to re-order their order. What do you think?"
In fact, Xiaozhuang had this idea a long time ago. She always felt that the deaths of several princes and princesses before were all caused by not being able to go to the village, but she was afraid that Kangxi would not agree, so she never brought it up.
Now that Kangxi has proposed it, how could she not agree?
"I have no objection. Let's rearrange the order of seniority and show people that our Qing Dynasty has no shortage of princes."
The next day, Kangxi issued an edict to re-arrange the seniority of the princes.
Chengqing is the eldest son, and because Mu Sili became the queen, he is the legitimate eldest prince.
Although the second prince Saiyin Chahun did not like Rong Fei's behavior, Kangxi was still good to this son.
The third prince Yinzhi and the fourth prince Yinreng, the first pair of twins born to Mu Sili, have now become very powerful in the palace. Coupled with their coal-like skin color, they are well-known to everyone in the palace.
Every day, Mu Sili worried about whether she should give them some spiritual spring water to change their skin color, but the two of them liked the skin color of Black Coal Ball so much that Mu Sili had no chance to implement her plan.
The fifth, sixth and seventh princes were Yinzhi, Yinzhen and Yinsi respectively. As the three of them were still young, they did not have too many troubles.
But Concubine Ning liked Yinzhen so much that she would give him a small piece of clothing or a pair of tiger-head shoes from time to time, which made Mu Sili want her to help take care of the child.
Just a quarter of an hour after the imperial edict was issued, she came again.
"I pay my respects to the Empress. I made two pairs of tiger-head shoes for Yinzhen while I was free. I came here to deliver the shoes and visit Yinzhen."
Seeing the two pairs of finely embroidered tiger-head shoes, Mu Sili felt that it was time to show her true strength, so after Concubine Ning had seen Yinzhen, she took him to the embroidery room.
The two of them stayed in the embroidery room like this for the entire afternoon, and finally Concubine Ning couldn't stand it anymore and got up and left, ending their conversation.
Mu Sili looked at the unknown thing she was embroidering and fell into deep thought. If she remembered correctly, she was embroidering mandarin ducks, right? When did her craftsmanship become so bad?
