The Imperial Noble Consort looked at Kangxi with some sadness. She thought that Kangxi was favoring boys over girls and wanted to let the matter go. Her hatred for Concubine De and her son deepened.
"Your Majesty is right. When Xiaojiu grows up, I will definitely tell him that his father delayed punishing his good fourth brother in order to ensure the smooth running of his full moon banquet."
Originally, the Imperial Noble Consort was very sad and felt that Kangxi was heartless, but after hearing what Mu Sili said, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Kangxi.
Ever since she became pregnant, she saw very clearly that Kangxi's attitude towards them and Mu Sili was completely different. He seemed to be perfunctory towards them, but was sincere to Mu Sili.
Perhaps this is why Mu Sili dared to be herself in front of Kangxi. If it weren't for Kangxi's favor, how could she dare to reveal her true nature?
She admitted that she was envious and jealous of this favor, but now, she just wanted to express sympathy.
Based on her understanding of Kangxi, he must be so angry that he is fuming but has to swallow his anger, right?
"When did I ever say I would delay punishing Yinzhen, Noble Concubine? I'm telling you, don't rely on my favor to talk nonsense."
"No, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask the Imperial Concubine. Moyaqi has suffered such a great injustice and almost lost her life, yet you have the nerve to say that you will deal with it tomorrow.
It's just that Moyaqi is still young and doesn't understand, otherwise she would be so sad to hear what you said.
Forget it. After you make a decision, it's hard to change it. It's up to you. Imperial Noble Consort, take Mo Yaqi back to Chengqian Palace first. Didn't you say that Concubine De is about to give birth? I'll go to Yonghe Palace to take a look."
"Then I won't go. I'm sorry to bother you with staying at Yonghe Palace. But today is Xiaojiu's full moon banquet after all. Is it okay if you don't stay at Yikun Palace?"
"Don't worry, it's all right. The Queen Mother is in charge of the Yikun Palace, and my sister, Noble Lady Guo Luoluo, is also here. It's very safe."
After hearing this, the imperial concubine felt relieved and left with Moyaqi, while Mu Sili followed them away.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Kangxi really wanted to say that he didn't think that way, and he didn't favor boys over girls, but both of them had left, and he was too lazy to explain.
Besides, Concubine De is about to give birth, so he should not go to Yonghe Palace now, lest that woman, Mu Sili, see him and can't help but say a few sarcastic words to him.
"I want to ask you how the Eighth Princess is doing now. Tell me the truth. I don't want to hear a single lie."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. What I just said is true. The Eighth Princess is indeed fine. I have always been puzzled as to why the Eighth Princess, who was clearly not expected to live for more than a month, has lived well for three months. Now I understand.
The Imperial Concubine has a strong blood and energy, which not only brings prosperity to herself, but also to those she wants to be close to. The Eighth Princess has benefited from the Imperial Concubine's good fortune."
Kangxi was speechless. How could this even involve metaphysics? But it did seem to make sense. Wasn't Mo Yaqi just blessed by Mu Sili?
It seems that she should have more contact with Moyaqi in the future. Since he was able to raise his daughter well, he is still willing to raise her well.
In the Yikun Palace, after receiving the news sent by Mu Sili, the Queen Mother directly took charge of the Yikun Palace to ensure that Xiaojiu's full moon banquet could proceed smoothly.
However, she could see that everyone's attention was not here, but on Moyaqi in Chengqian Palace.
Something happened to the Eighth Princess at the Ninth Prince's full moon banquet. If it were to be spread by someone with ulterior motives, it would probably be said that Little Ninth Prince was harming his sister, the Eighth Princess.
This is the younger brother of her beloved Xiaowu, she would never let anyone spread the news.
Because the Queen Mother was present, the ministers of the royal family who came to attend the full moon banquet did not dare to speak carelessly, for fear that the Queen Mother would make things difficult for them after she found out. However, the glances they exchanged revealed their desire to know what happened next.
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De had already entered the delivery room to give birth. She thought that Kangxi would come to wait for her to give birth, but after waiting for a long time, only Mu Sili came.
"This servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."
"Everyone, get up. How's Concubine De doing? She hasn't given birth yet? She's so useless. This isn't her first child, and yet she hasn't given birth yet. Unlike me, I gave birth to Little Nine without any hardship."
De Fei almost fainted when she heard this in the delivery room. Did Mu Sili think being a noble concubine was so great? She was about to give birth to Kangxi's third prince, and Kangxi would also promote her to a higher rank when the time came.
They are both imperial concubines, so she is not necessarily inferior to Mu Sili. Besides, she has three princes, so why should Mu Sili fight with her?
"I was busy going back to Yikun Palace to chat with my daughters Xiaowu and Xiaojiu, asking Concubine De to give birth quickly. Why are you dithering? Are you trying to wait for the Emperor to come?"
Let her give up on this idea. Even if the emperor really wants to enter the harem, he will go to Yikun Palace, why would he come to Yonghe Palace?"
Defei said that she was very angry and needed to vent urgently. In her excitement, the child came out.
Hearing the baby crying, Mu Sili was satisfied.
"I told you that Concubine De was being pretentious and needed some stimulation to give birth quickly. Look, isn't the effect excellent? With just a few words from me, she gave birth to the Ninth Princess. Not bad, not bad."
"Princess, I gave birth to the Tenth Prince!"
The midwife originally wanted to tell Concubine De that she gave birth to a princess, but she didn't dare to go after hearing this. It wasn't that she was timid, but Concubine De looked really ferocious.
"What are you standing there for? Bring the Tenth Prince over here for me to see."
Defei was convinced that she was giving birth to a prince, and was very displeased when she saw that the midwife did not move.
"This servant...this servant congratulates the Imperial Concubine. You have given birth to a princess, the ninth child."
Concubine De looked at the child in her arms in disbelief. How could it be a princess? Shouldn’t she have given birth to a prince?
"Bring it here for me to see."
"yes."
After confirming again and again that she had given birth to a princess, Defei showed disgust in her eyes. She had thought that giving birth to a prince would help Yinzuo, but she didn't expect that it would be a princess.
"Since the imperial concubine is outside, let's hold it for her to see, and let her have something to say to the emperor."
"yes."
After the midwife carried the ninth princess out, Mu Sili simply said, "Send her to Ningshou Palace," and prepared to return to Yikun Palace.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? The Ninth Princess has just been born, and you're already taking her to Ningshou Palace. Are you really unwilling for me to spend more time with the Ninth Princess?"
"Hmm? Didn't you promise to take the Ninth Princess to be raised by the Queen Mother? Why is it that this palace is deliberately making things difficult for you now?
It doesn't matter. If you don't want to send the Ninth Princess to Ningshou Palace, then don't send her there. I'll go back and tell the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It's fine."
