"Wu Yunzhu, what's wrong with you? Why do I see you looking unhappy?"
"Your Highness is back? I'm fine. I'm just a little sad because the virtuous concubine is pregnant, but I'm still not pregnant.
You've been so kind to me, yet I haven't been able to get pregnant as you wished. I'm really upset."
Boguer hugged her gently to comfort her. When he married her, he had only thought of marrying her as a decoration, but he did not expect that Dong E was a capable person and conquered him in just three days.
"We've only been married for two months, and I've been living in the main courtyard. We'll have children sooner or later, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.
The virtuous concubine is pregnant. You are a girl from the same class as her. Why don’t you go to the palace and talk to her? I see that the emperor dotes on her very much. It will be good for you if you have a good relationship with her.
Mother has some opinions about you. If you can gain the favor of the Emperor's favorite concubine, Mother will be able to change her prejudice against you, which will be beneficial to you."
"I want to go to the palace to see the virtuous concubine? But I had some dirty dealings with her before, and I'm afraid she won't see me.
You also know that the virtuous concubine is extremely beautiful. Compared with her, I seem very mediocre. To be honest, I don’t really want to go.
But you think I should go. For you, I will be fine even if I am bullied by the virtuous concubine.
It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. How about I go to the palace right now to congratulate the virtuous concubine on her pregnancy? Will you come with me?"
Boguer frowned slightly after hearing what Dong E said. Mu Sili had an affair with her? Why did he remember that it seemed like she and Mu Sili had an affair?
When she left the palace after the selection that day, she was showing off among the noble ladies of the Eight Banners, relying on the fact that she had been granted marriage.
How come the words coming out of her mouth now are that Mu Sili bullied her? Could it be that she thinks she is stupid and easy to deceive?
Boghor originally had some good feelings towards Dong E, but now he felt like he was blind.
"I won't go. You go by yourself. Come back after seeing the virtuous concubine. I will wait for you in the evening."
Anyway, I am still interested in her body, so this is fine now.
"Your Majesty!"
Dong E showed a shy look, then stood up, dressed and prepared to enter the palace.
She was the Princess of Xiang, and could enter the palace directly without having to pass a badge and wait for news. After she left, Boghor went to the backyard to play with his concubine.
After entering the palace, Dong E went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the empress first. The empress looked kind, but in her heart she felt that Mu Sili was just pregnant, and even the princess came to pay her respects, which must be bad news.
"Eleventh brother's sister-in-law, I am your sister-in-law. Since you are going to see the virtuous concubine, I will not keep you any longer."
"Yes, I will take my leave and come back to pay my respects to the Empress's sister-in-law another day."
The Queen treated her well, which made Dong E think that the Queen liked her very much as her sister-in-law. Therefore, after leaving Kunning Palace, Dong E's attitude changed.
"Since the Emperor's sister-in-law is so kind to me, I will go to the palace more often to spend time with her. As for the others, I can treat them as I please."
She said this deliberately outside Kunning Palace, with the purpose of letting the queen know that she was on her side.
Only after she had walked away did the maidservant beside her look at her with a worried look on her face.
"Princess, how could you say such things outside Kunning Palace? You are the Princess of Xiangqin. If such words get out, it will not do you any good."
"It doesn't matter. I am favored by the Queen. Even if others are unhappy with me, what can they do to me?"
"But......"
"Don't say but, let's go to Chengqian Palace. I want to see how proud Concubine Xian is. She's just pregnant, but she wants to make it known to everyone. I'm just pretending."
The maidservant shut up. This is not Prince Xiang’s mansion. Don’t you know the obvious truth that walls have ears?
She finally understood why Namu Zhong didn't like the princess. It turned out to be because she was stupid!
In Chengqian Palace, Mu Sili fell into deep thought as she looked at Dong E who acted condescendingly towards her.
She was a palace concubine, and a virtuous concubine personally appointed by Shunzhi. Even if she was the principal wife of Prince Xiang of the Dong E clan, she would have to bow when she saw her. What did her expression mean?
"I heard that the virtuous concubine is pregnant. The prince asked me to come to the palace to take a look. I don't think the concubine looks like she is pregnant."
After hearing her speak, Mu Sili calmly picked up the water beside her and drank it, without paying any attention to Dong E.
When Dong E saw her like this, she was immediately embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Do you think what I said was right and should face me properly?
"Let me think about it. Could it be that you are really not pregnant? This is a serious crime. Can your Tong family afford this responsibility?"
"Furong, slap your mouth."
"yes."
When Dong E heard that Mu Sili was going to slap her in the face, she was stunned. Why would a concubine like her slap herself in the face? Would the Queen tolerate her behavior?
After two slaps, Dong E was knocked unconscious.
"Bitch, you dare to hit me, my princess? Do you know that I am the Princess of Xiang? Come, take her off and give her to me, and give her twenty lashes!"
Dong E's voice was filled with anger, but no one in Chengqian Palace dared to move.
"It seems that Princess Xiang has not learned the rules very well. I am the virtuous concubine appointed by the emperor himself, and not only did you not greet me when you saw me, you even mocked me.
And that's not all. You're accusing me of a fake pregnancy. Do you think the Emperor and the doctors at the Imperial Hospital are idiots? You can't even tell I'm pregnant?
In this Chengqian Palace, I am the host and you are the guest, but you have turned the tables and made me the host. This really opened my eyes."
Dong E was very unhappy. She just couldn't stand the fact that Mu Sili was better than her. She could have entered the palace, but she was given to Boghor.
Although she was the principal wife, she was far inferior to the high-ranking imperial concubines.
After all, the princess consort is still the princess consort in the end, but the palace concubine is different. Once she has children, maybe she will become the queen dowager?
That person is respected even by the emperor, how could she not yearn for him?
But now she has become the Princess of Xiang. If she wants to enter the palace again, she can only do so as a widow. And how could Boghor, who was so young, die suddenly?
I heard that there are frequent wars on the border. It would be great if Boghor could go to the border. If he died there, I would have a chance.
But the prerequisite for doing so is that Emperor Shunzhi would like her. Mu Sili is favored and pregnant, so Shunzhi will definitely come today. In this case, she has to endure it!
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. Your Majesty misunderstood. I was overjoyed to hear that you were pregnant and forgot to pay my respects. Please forgive me."
As soon as Mu Sili saw her expression, she knew that she was prepared to wait until Shunzhi came. In that case, she would not be polite.
