"No, I don't think so. It is an honor for me and the Ninth Princess to send her to the Queen Mother to be raised. Your Majesty has misunderstood."
Defei said this with a bitter face. She felt a strong hatred for Mu Sili in her heart. She actually dared to go against her. Did she really think that she was more noble than her just because she was named a noble concubine?
"Speaking of which, I just remembered something. Defei, could you please explain this to me? Why did Yinzhen leave the table earlier and Defei follow suit? Could it be that Yinzhen's actions today were instigated by you?"
Concubine De was shocked. Wasn't Mu Sili always simple-minded? How could she suddenly become so smart?
"It seems so. I wonder how the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine will react when they find out. No, I have to tell the Emperor about this right away, lest he be kept in the dark."
Concubine De wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she found that she couldn't open her mouth. She thought she was just tired from giving birth, so she could only watch Mu Sili take the Ninth Princess away.
"Come here, take the Ninth Princess back to Yikun Palace and hand her over to the Empress Dowager. I will go to the Qianqing Palace."
"yes."
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi was instructing Liang Jiugong to check on the eunuch who reported the news, when he heard someone outside reporting that Mu Sili had arrived.
"Let her in."
"I pay my respects to the Emperor. It just so happens that I have something to tell you. Eunuch Liang, please listen too. I suspect that today's incident was instigated by Concubine De.
Just now, after Concubine De gave birth, I just said a few casual words and she was so frightened that she didn't even say a word to refute. I think the emperor should investigate Concubine De so that she is not really kept in the dark. "
Kangxi was stunned. Was it Concubine De? Wasn't Concubine De always gentle and smiling, a refined person? How could she do such a thing?
Yinzhen is her biological son. Does she know that doing this will kill Yinzhen?
"Liang Jiugong, what are you still standing there for? Go check it out!"
"Yes, I'll check it out right away."
Liang Jiugong responded respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he cursed Concubine De. He had known for a long time that Concubine De was not a good person, otherwise she would not have become one of the four concubines as a palace maid.
I didn't expect that she was not as simple as she appeared. She even took advantage of her own son and was not afraid of ruining his future.
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Mu Sili prepared to return to Yikun Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have to go back now. There are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in Yikun Palace. When you are done, please come here by yourself. I will wait for you."
"Be careful on the road. Oh, and by the way, the child born to Concubine De will be sent to Ningshou Palace to be raised by the Empress Dowager. Did she give you any trouble?"
"No, I am now a noble concubine, one level higher than her. She wouldn't dare to confront me head-on, but I see she's quite unconvinced.
But I don't know why, seeing her unhappy, I feel very happy. If it happens again, I will do the same thing again."
This time Kangxi was really speechless. He waved his hand to signal Mu Sili to go back quickly, otherwise he would have a headache.
After Mu Sili returned to Yiku Palace, the full moon banquet ended successfully, and the Queen Mother took the Ninth Princess, whom she did not like very much, back home.
In Mu Sili's words, it is nice to have a princess by your side. You can keep the princess by your side for a few more years, unlike the prince who has to be sent to the prince's residence at the age of six.
Although she didn't like Concubine De, the child was good and she couldn't vent her anger on him, so she took the child back even though she didn't like him very much.
Liang Jiugong was very quick. He not only found out the person behind the young eunuch, but also discovered that Concubine De had instigated Yinzhen to persecute the Eighth Princess.
After seeing that it was Concubine De who did these things, Kangxi was so angry that he almost rushed to Yonghe Palace to question Concubine De.
"Your Majesty, today is the Ninth Prince's full moon banquet, and the Eighth Princess almost had an accident. Plus, Concubine De just gave birth. If there's blood, it would be unlucky. Why not deal with this matter tomorrow morning?"
Liang Jiugong directly described Concubine De as an unlucky thing. Kangxi frowned and actually felt that there was some truth in it.
In the past, he thought that Concubine De was a person without much ambition, so he was willing to favor her a little. Now it seems that Concubine De was too pretentious, and he misjudged her.
"Get ready, I'm going to Yikun Palace."
"yes."
Kangxi had no intention of going to the harem because he was so angry. It was the first time he saw his mother persecuting her own children for her own benefit, and he could not accept it no matter what.
In particular, he has always hoped that his sons can be friendly to each other and harmonious with each other. Now the fact that Yinzhen has taken action against Moyaqi is really a huge blow to him.
But he had promised Mu Sili that he would go to Yikun Palace before, so he should not go back on his word. It would be nice to go to Yikun Palace and see the scenes of loving mother and filial son to refresh his eyes.
In Yiku Palace, Yinqi said with great grievance that he would never dare to bet with Xiaojiu again.
"Mother was just running some errands, and you almost killed your ninth brother. What's the matter? Are you jealous of Little Nine's good looks?"
"But I'm not jealous. I just feel that mother is a bit biased. She gave birth to a plain-looking son, but gave birth to this bright and beautiful ninth brother. The difference is too big, and I'm a little dissatisfied."
The corner of Mu Sili's mouth twitched. Yinqi felt that he was not good-looking enough. It didn't matter, she had plenty of ways.
"Xiaowu, listen to your mother's advice. Your appearance is given by your parents. Your mother is so beautiful, and Xiaojiu can inherit her beauty. You will definitely be able to inherit it too.
Don't bet on Xiaojiu anymore, saying you'll dress him up as a princess if you lose. Mother is afraid Xiaojiu will get angry with you when he grows up!"
"No, mother, don't worry. I know my limits. If I weren't absolutely sure, I wouldn't bet with others."
"So mother has to praise you, right?"
"That's not necessary. It's getting late. I'll go see my ninth brother and then go back to rest. Thank you, mother, for giving me such a proud brother.
"My eldest brother and his friends saw my ninth brother today. I'm worried that they're missing him. Mother, please keep an eye on him and don't give them a chance to steal him away."
"Zhang Qiyong, take Xiaowu to check on Xiaojiu. I'll go see if the emperor has arrived. It's already late, is he still busy?"
"Yes, I will protect you brothers."
Kangxi had arrived a long time ago. Outside the door, he saw how Mu Sili and Yinqi were getting along. It was still so strange yet warm.
When Kangxi heard her say that she wanted to come out to see if he had arrived, he quickly straightened his clothes, pretended to have just arrived, pushed open the door and walked in.
"What are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty has arrived. When did you arrive? What time is it now? If you are really busy with official business, you don't have to come. Send someone to tell me.
I am not an unreasonable person who would force you to come to Yikun Palace to accompany me."
