"They wouldn't dare. My brother manages the place well. Even if he's gone for another two or three months, Prince Yu's mansion won't be in chaos. Just rest assured, brother."
Huang Taiji rolled his eyes at him and then led Mu Sili in.
"Your servants pay their respects to the Khan and the Consort."
"Everyone, get up! From now on, you are the servants of Guanju Palace. This Khan expects you to serve the Concubine wholeheartedly. If anyone dares to have any other intentions, don't blame me for tearing you into pieces."
"I dare not!"
After intimidating a group of servants, Huang Taiji led Mu Sili to Qingning Palace, but Duoduo still followed behind.
"If you have nothing to do, go find a place to stay by yourself. I'm going to Qingning Palace. What are you going to do with me?"
"My younger brother has come all the way from Shengjing, shouldn't he go and pay his respects to my eighth sister-in-law?"
Huang Taiji suddenly felt that Duoduo was a bit nagging. There was a reason why Dorgon suppressed his ability before. If it were him, he would also suppress him severely because he was really irritating.
"Edu, kick him out of here!"
"A gentleman should use words, not fists. My brother is the Khan of the Qing Dynasty, after all. How dare he fight with his brother? Sili, save me!"
Mu Sili was speechless and asked the heaven, she didn't want to save him at all!
"Huang Taiji, he's not very smart, don't bother with him. If he wants to go, then go with us. That way, we can let everyone see how stupid he is."
Duoduo stared in amazement at Mu Sili who had casually spread rumors about him being stupid. Did she no longer want him as a friend now that she was getting married?
"I'm not going. Stop spreading rumors that I'm stupid. Any rumor in this palace can be magnified tenfold. If this gets out, I might become a born idiot tomorrow.
"I am a man of extraordinary talent, though I have never let anyone see it, but I cannot deny it, right? I don't know how many lifetimes of bad luck I have had to have a friend like you!"
Duoduo walked away while shaking his head and muttering to himself, leaving Huang Taiji looking at his back with a helpless look on his face and sighing, "You still say you're not stupid. If this isn't stupid, who else can be considered stupid?"
"Let's go. Auntie must be getting impatient. After all, this is my first time paying respects, so I must abide by the rules."
Huang Taiji nodded, and then took her to Qingning Palace. Zhezhe wanted to show her a bit of power to show her noble status, but since Huang Taiji was following her, she didn't dare to act too rashly.
"Your humble servant, Lady Borjigit of Guanju Palace, pays respects to the Grand Lady."
"Xiao Yu'er, get up quickly. We are a family. Why should we be so polite? Since you are married to the Khan, you should respect him and don't bring the rules of the grassland into the harem.
This wife hopes that you can abide by your duties and have children for the Khan as soon as possible, which will be considered as fulfilling your duties as the wife of the Eastern Palace.
Although I am your aunt, the Shengjing Imperial Palace governs by rank. From now on, you can come to Qingning Palace to pay your respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. You don't need to come on weekdays. Just take good care of the Khan."
Dayuer looked at Mu Sili leisurely. Even if she was the wife of the Eastern Palace, shouldn't she also pay her respects to Zhezhe?
Although she was only a concubine, she was a person with some say in Qingning Palace. Since Zhezhe said so, she naturally stood on Zhezhe's side.
"Auntie's words make sense, Xiao Yu'er, since you've entered the harem, you should respect me. Although I said I'd only come to pay my respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, since you've just entered the palace, why not come and pay your respects every day to show your respect to me."
"I don't like the name Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Fujin, please be careful in the future. After all, I am the wife of the Eastern Palace, and you can't call me by my name casually.
The same goes for the First Lady. From now on, please call me the Eastern Palace Lady, Sili, or Xiaoyuer. I don't want to hear these imitation names anymore.
Since the young lady mentioned the rules and attaches so much importance to them, shouldn't you pay your respects to me as a sign of respect?"
Dayuer didn't expect Mu Sili to say that. She stood there reluctantly. It was only after Zhezhe coughed twice that she obediently greeted Mu Sili.
"I pay my respects to the Lady of the East Palace."
She greeted him reluctantly, but Mu Sili didn't think of paying any attention to her.
"Da Fu Jin, although you and I are aunt and niece, you also said that in the harem, status is what counts. You must hold on to the position of Da Fu Jin. After all, I am a person who seeks revenge when I have a grudge and redresses grievances.
Great Khan, I have just entered the palace and am not very familiar with the affairs here. Why don't you personally explain it to me so that I can get familiar with it as soon as possible?"
"good."
Zhezhe and Dayuer just watched Huang Taiji take her away, and both of them felt very unwilling.
"Aunt, Sili has entered the palace. Judging from the Khan's behavior, he will probably favor her for a while. And with her attitude today, if she has another child, our lives will be difficult."
How could Zhezhe not know what she meant? She also wanted to win over Mu Sili, but she was afraid that she had already known about the conspiracy she and Dayuer had made against her.
When I went back to Korchin in the past, Mu Sili's attitude towards me was respectful and intimate. But now, she is respectful on the surface, but I can't tell what she is thinking in her heart.
"She is entering the palace today, and the Khan will definitely host a banquet to entertain the people of Khorchin tonight. Take this opportunity to see if Wu Keshan has arrived. If he has, find a chance to ask him what happened.
Since Dorgon said he wanted to marry her a month ago, it must be true. Auntie wants to know what happened in between and why this unexpected change occurred.
If she can't support our people, then we can't let her get pregnant. Once she has a child, there will be no place for us aunt and nephew in this palace."
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Zhezhe's eyes. If he couldn't stand on the same boat with Mu Sili, he would only push her into the abyss.
She, Zhezhe, is the first wife, and as long as Huang Taiji becomes emperor, she will definitely be the empress. But now with the variable of Mu Sili, she is not sure whether she can still become the empress.
Moreover, she was unwilling to stand on the same boat with her. In this case, she could not be blamed for being cruel and disregarding the relationship between aunt and niece.
"Don't worry, auntie. Yu'er will send someone to Dorgon's house to get information. I saw Duoduo in front of the palace gate today, but not Dorgon. Yu'er thinks Dorgon must have been in trouble."
Although Dayuer used Dorgon more than she really cared about him, she was still a little worried when she guessed that something had happened to him.
She had never forgotten the vows they made in Korchin, but compared with wealth and glory, wealth and glory naturally attracted her more.
Dorgon always thought that she became Huang Taiji's concubine because Huang Taiji forced her to do so. How could he have known that she deliberately leaked the news to force Huang Taiji to marry her as his concubine?
