The two of them repeatedly mentioned in front of Concubine De the fact that Yinzhen was given to the Imperial Noble Concubine to raise, which successfully broke Concubine De's defense.
"If the two elder sisters are really envious, it would be nice to have another child now and give it to the Imperial Concubine to raise."
“You’re already a grandmother, so you’d better not make fun of yourself.
"Sister, let's go and see the two little princesses. I've prepared two longevity locks. What have you prepared?"
"What a coincidence! My sister has prepared two gold bracelets for longevity and prosperity."
No one paid any attention to Concubine De. She squinted her eyes and looked at the Imperial Noble Concubine who was surrounded by people. It should have been herself standing there.
While no one was paying attention, Concubine De found Mu Sili.
"Why, you don't know how to greet me when you see me?"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort."
"You...I am Yinzhen's biological mother and your mother-in-law. Is this how your father and mother taught you? You really don't know the rules.
I think I'll find a governess to teach you some proper manners, so you don't confuse relatives with strangers."
"Your Highness, Empress De is wrong. The Empress Dowager is my mother-in-law. I can clearly distinguish between relatives and strangers.
Not to mention that the Empress Dowager treats me better than her own daughter. In my heart, the Empress Dowager is my mother-in-law. I will respect her as my mother-in-law.
However, what you said just now reminded me of something, which is quite interesting.
If I remember correctly, when the Sixth Prince passed away, you announced that you did not recognize our master as your son.
Is it because time has passed and you've forgotten it? It doesn't matter. I can repeat what you said at that time.
However, let me remind you that today is the triplets' full moon celebration, so please don't ruin it."
Defei didn't expect that just when she wanted to act like a mother-in-law, Mu Sili didn't give her a chance. She was so angry that her face turned red and she wanted to slap her.
Unexpectedly, Mu Sili saw through her thoughts, shouted "Empress Defei" and fell down.
"Fujin!"
"Ali!"
"What happened? Why did the Fourth Lady fall? Si Li, can you tell the Empress Dowager where she fell?"
"My daughter-in-law is fine, don't worry, Madam Empress. Madam De, I don't know how I have offended you. Today is the full moon celebration for the triplets. You are their mother after all. Why did you ruin their full moon celebration?"
Kangxi was very dissatisfied. He had always liked the triplets and was holding the eldest princess and teasing her when he heard a quarrel in the distance.
When he walked over, he found that Yinzhen's daughter-in-law had a quarrel with Defei. It seemed that Defei wanted to ruin the full moon banquet of his grandchildren?
In an instant, Kangxi felt that his authority was challenged.
"What's going on?"
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Emperor."
"Xiao Sifu, please tell me, what is going on?"
Mu Sili took a deep breath and slowly expressed what Concubine De meant.
"De'er Niang suddenly came to find her daughter-in-law and said that she was her mother-in-law and asked her to distinguish between relatives and strangers.
The daughter-in-law just said that the Empress Dowager was her mother-in-law and that she would be filial to her, but Empress De became unhappy.
She said her daughter-in-law didn't know the rules, that it was her father and mother who hadn't taught her well, and that she wanted to find a nanny to teach her the rules.
At this time, Fei Yanggu and his wife were at the scene. When they heard their daughter say this, Fei Yanggu's wife Jueluo walked directly to the opposite side of Concubine De.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. Thank you for your consideration. My daughter Ah Li has been well-mannered since she was young and has learned these rules very well.
I, a humble servant, am of royal origin and have been well-behaved since childhood. I also have extremely high expectations for my only daughter. Even the Empress Dowager praised her for her good manners.
Your Majesty, can you please complain to me, your Highness, about why Ali didn't follow the rules well enough that you mocked her for being unruly in public?
Don't worry, Ah Li has always been able to correct her mistakes, which is a great virtue. As long as you tell her, she will definitely correct it."
Defei was already out of breath due to Mu Sili's anger, and now Jueluo was attacking her again. She suddenly felt a lack of blood supply to her brain, staggered twice, and then fainted backwards.
"Empress!"
The servants around Concubine De hurried to calm her down. Seeing this, Kangxi shook his head in dismay, and the palace servants prepared to send her back to Yonghe Palace.
"Wait, you're causing trouble at my grandchildren's full moon banquet, thinking you can avoid punishment by pretending to be unconscious?
Come, go to Yonghe Palace and guard it. When Concubine De wakes up, tell her that I have punished her by confining her to Yonghe Palace for six months. She must copy the palace rules a hundred times and memorize them. Then let Concubine De copy them by hand.
Your Majesty, do you think this is an appropriate treatment for me?"
Kangxi never expected that the war would spread to him. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he quickly nodded to show that he was satisfied with the Imperial Noble Concubine's handling of the matter.
"You are the Imperial Consort. You are the one who decides the affairs of the harem. I have no objection."
"Did you hear everything? Take him away."
"Yes, my lady."
After Concubine De left the stage, the scene became lively again. After all, triplets are not common, and if you touch them more, you might get this blessing.
Jueluo knelt slightly and apologized to Kangxi.
"I was impulsive. Ah Li is now the prince's wife, and the emperor and the imperial concubine should be the ones to make the decision for her. However, as her biological mother, I cannot bear to see her suffer any injustice. I beg the emperor and the imperial concubine to punish her."
The imperial concubine reached out and helped her up.
"Ali is your daughter, so you should consider her. Similarly, she is my daughter-in-law, so how can I watch her being bullied?"
The two of them were chatting and laughing as they took Mu Sili to see their grandchildren and didn't notice the shocked expressions of Kangxi and Fei Yanggu at all.
"Fei Yanggu, what's wrong with your wife? Is she so bold as to ignore me?"
Fei Yanggu rolled his eyes at Kangxi. Wasn't this a question asked despite knowing the answer? The Jueluo family was a royal family member, and she was actually his cousin. It would be a miracle if he was so timid!
What everyone didn't know was that this time, Mu Sili's half-sister Siyu also entered the palace as a maid, and she successfully hooked up with the prince.
Just after the full moon banquet, she successfully appeared in front of the prince with her beautiful face, and took the opportunity to say that she was the daughter of Fei Yanggu.
The prince had originally intended to marry a girl from the Ulanara clan as his princess, and since this girl was offered to him, he would rather take her than refuse her.
When Fei Yanggu and his wife returned home, Qian did not report Siyu's disappearance in time. It was not until the next day that they learned that Siyu had followed them into the palace.
"Fei Yanggu, get out of my way. I'm going to beat this bitch to death today.
With the wedding date approaching, she actually dared to let that bitch disguise herself as a maid and follow me into the palace. Everyone knows what she's up to! "
