"No need to be modest. Even my appearance when I was young was not as good as yours. It's no wonder that the emperor likes you.
But I still have something to tell you. I hope that everyone in the harem will be treated equally, rather than just one person being favored. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Grand Empress Dowager, don't worry, I dare not dominate the Emperor."
Xiaozhuang kept staring at Mu Sili, and knowing that she was speaking the truth, she stopped making things difficult for her. After talking to the others for a while, she asked them to leave.
"Su Ma, what do you think?"
"It is a talking creature, but I can't see anything unusual about it."
"I do too, but I don't believe she will really push Xuanye out. Someone who has been favored by someone else won't have the same pure thoughts as before."
Su Malagu didn't think so. If Kangxi insisted on favoring Mu Sili alone, then whose fault was it? If he really wanted to put the blame on Mu Sili, then she would have to speak up for her behind her back.
However, since Empress Xiaozhuang was so wary of her being favored by someone else, as her capable assistant who had served her for many years, she naturally had to help her to prevent future troubles.
Mu Sili can become a favorite concubine, but she cannot be a favorite concubine who has a son and enjoys exclusive favor. If she really becomes such a favorite concubine, it would be like having another Dong Efei in the harem.
Although he believed that Kangxi was not someone like Shunzhi who would risk his life for a woman, there is always a chance of something happening. What if Kangxi did that?
Xiaozhuang had already experienced the pain of losing her husband and son, and really could not bear the pain of losing her grandson.
Anyway, this era is always unfair to women. If there is any problem, women will naturally take the blame. Therefore, if Mu Sili really wants to blame someone, she can only blame herself for being a woman.
"Princess, let me help you take a walk in the Imperial Garden. The weather is nice today and the flowers in the Imperial Garden are in bloom. It would be a pity not to go and see them."
"That's good. My head is feeling dizzy. Going to see some new things can change my mind and save me from worrying about nothing all day long."
"You are not worrying for nothing. In my opinion, the emperor should be grateful for your concern."
Xiaozhuang just smiled. After what happened to Shunzhi, she didn't want to appear too unkind.
If she were ten or twenty years younger, judging by Kangxi's recent behavior of favoring Mu Sili, she would definitely go to the Qianqing Palace to cause trouble.
But now it’s different. She has learned to leave some room for improvement so that they can meet again in the future.
"Let's go for a walk. I need to rest too. I get tired easily when I get older."
After Mu Sili returned to Qixiang Palace, she immediately asked Molan to close the door of Qixiang Palace. The meaning was obvious: she would not see any guests today.
Kangxi also heard from Liang Jiugong what happened in the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace. He had only one reaction: was Xiaozhuang bored and had nothing to do?
He is the emperor, and it is his business to decide who to favor. If he doesn't want to, who dares to force him?
Perhaps it was because of his rebellious mentality. The more Xiaozhuang forbad him to do something, the more he insisted on doing it.
"Liang Jiugong, have someone inform everyone that I will be going to Qixiang Palace to have dinner with Concubine Min tonight."
"yes."
Liang Jiugong had been serving Kangxi since he was a child, so he naturally knew what he meant. After all, Kangxi was never a person who would accept things passively.
In Qixiang Palace, Molan looked at Mu Sili cautiously. She thought that her young lady might have been upset, otherwise why would she close the door as soon as she came back?
According to experience, Qianlong will come to Qixiang Palace soon. What if he arrives and finds the door closed, and then leaves in anger?
"My lady, how about I go and open the door? The Emperor has been doting on you lately. If he saw you treating him like this, he would probably be angry. What if he really went to another palace?"
"It's alright, the emperor is free to go wherever he wants. I am a noble lady of low status, so I really can't bully the emperor.
It is already a great favor that the emperor has favored me for half a month. It is indeed time for all the sisters in the harem to enjoy some of his favor. Otherwise, when we pay our respects to him another day, there will be another war.
And the most important thing is that I have been feeling a little strange in my body recently. Although it has not been long, I suspect that I am pregnant.
In this situation, do you think it’s better for me to sleep with them or avoid their favor? Anyway, I think it’s better to avoid their favor, so that they can focus less on me.”
Molan left Mu Sili's bedroom with a dazed look on her face. She seemed to have hallucinated. Her mistress was pregnant after only being in his bed for more than half a month?
If this is true, Mo Lan's highlight moment is really coming.
After Kangxi and Liang Jiugong rushed over, they saw the closed door of Qixiang Palace and both fell into deep thought.
"Am I a monstrous beast? What does Concubine Min mean by this? Are you trying to keep me at a distance?"
"Your Majesty must have misunderstood. Concubine Min probably feels that her status is low and is afraid of gossip outside, so she wants to avoid the emperor's favor.
Didn't you see what happened during the greetings today? Concubine Min has just gained favor, so she's timid and it's normal for her to be afraid."
"That makes sense, but why should I do things according to their preferences? I am the emperor, and they should do things according to my preferences.
I like Concubine Min now. She pleases me so much, so I am willing to pamper her.
Liang Jiugong, go knock on the door. I don't believe I can't get into Qixiang Palace today."
The corners of Liang Jiugong's mouth twitched. Did he say something wrong just now? Otherwise, why would Kangxi ask him to knock on the door?
"Open the door! The Emperor is here. Why is the door to Qixiang Palace closed? Where's Concubine Min? Hasn't she come to greet him yet?"
After hearing Liang Jiugong's words, Molan quickly opened the door, but there was a bitter expression on her face, which made Liang Jiugong stunned.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen to Concubine Min?"
"This servant greets Eunuch Liang. The young lady is fine. I am worried about her. Please invite the emperor in. The young lady is resting in the bedroom now."
Liang Jiugong went to invite Kangxi, but he overheard the conversation between the two. When he walked in front of Molan, Kangxi stopped.
"What happened to Lady Min?"
"This servant pays respects to the Emperor. The young lady is just a little sad, but it's nothing serious."
Sad? Kangxi was suspicious and thoughtful. He subconsciously thought that it was something that happened today that made Mu Sili sad. She was originally a little angry about being locked outside, but now she was only heartbroken.
If Mu Sili had a higher position, the women in the harem would not dare to bully her at will. Look, they would be unable to tolerate her just because she was favored for a few more days.
Which of them hadn't been favored in the past? Yet now they were jealous of others. It was really no wonder that he didn't like them. There was a reason for it.
Kangxi directly found an excuse for falling in love with someone else. If Mu Sili didn't know what kind of person he was, she would have believed his lies.
