There was a gentle look on Yinzhen's face. It was the Empress Dowager who had returned.
"My Queen Mother, you protected me when I was little. This time, it's my turn to protect you and bring you up safely!"
In the main courtyard, Fu Jin also received the news that Mu Sili had given birth safely, and she admitted that she was jealous.
"It's truly a blessing, but I wonder if Nian can bear the fact that these twins killed their stepmother at birth!"
Because she was confined in the main courtyard, she had no idea that the outside world had already spread the news of her serious illness. Even if she died now, others would not think too much about it.
Fu Jin took out the poison and swallowed it expressionlessly. Before she died, she wanted to go outside and shout that the twins were disaster stars and were going to kill her.
As long as she shouted it out, the future of the twins would be ruined.
However, before she could walk out, the poison took effect and killed her!
The secret guard who had been hiding on the beam watched her die with cold eyes. If she really ran away, he would have to give up his position as a secret guard. It would be too embarrassing.
However, it was unlucky for the lady to die as the twins had just been born. It would be better to announce the news of her death tomorrow.
The secret guard made his own decision and threw her directly onto the bed. It was suicide anyway, so he could report it at any time.
When Kangxi learned that Mu Sili had given birth to twins, and the youngest one looked very much like Empress Xiaoyi, he couldn't help but wonder whether he should make her his legal wife.
But there was no news of Fu Jin's death yet, so it would be better to wait until Yinzhen ascended the throne and then let her become the queen directly.
But before that, it did not affect his expression of love for the twins.
The next day, news of the death of the wife of Prince Yong spread from his mansion, but no one thought there was anything wrong, not even Ulanara.
Originally, they had angered Yinzhen because of Xingde's concubine. Now, the wife died just after Mu Sili gave birth. They were only afraid that Yinzhen would blame them, so how could they think there was a problem?
Even the outside world did not think there was anything wrong with Fu Jin's death. After all, the news of her serious illness had been spread by Kangxi several months ago.
This was spread by Kangxi. Even if someone really felt there was a problem, they would not dare to speak out at this juncture, so the death of Fu Jin did not cause any waves.
A month later, Kangxi personally named the twins Honghao and Hongyan.
When Liang Jiugong read out the names of the twins, everyone knew that the future prince would be one of them.
Concubine Li and Princess Niohuru looked at the popular Mu Sili with a sad face.
It’s okay for Princess Nianhulu, but Concubine Li once enjoyed similar treatment. Unfortunately, she has fallen out of favor now and can never compare to Mu Sili.
"Mother, you should think about what to do in the future. With the legitimate mother gone, this backyard has fallen into the hands of the Nian mother. If you don't control your temper, you will suffer."
After all, she was his own mother. Huai Ke didn't want to see Concubine Nian harm himself and Hongshi because of her jealousy, so he kindly reminded her.
Unfortunately, she had no place to vent her anger towards Mu Sili, and Huai Ke was caught in the crossfire.
"You are my daughter. If you don't side with me, why would you side with someone else? Could it be that even you have been seduced away by that little bitch Nian?
Good, good, you are really my good daughter. I raised you with so much difficulty. It would have been fine if I didn’t get any benefit from you, but I didn’t expect that I would have to suffer your anger in the end!
"Go away! I don't want to see you anymore. Didn't you marry into the Nian family? Then let her worry about your marriage. I'll just pretend you're not my daughter!"
Concubine Li's voice gradually became louder, making the originally noisy environment quiet in an instant.
Niohuru looked at her as if she were a fool. After so many years, she still hadn't grown any brains.
If she embarrasses the prince in such an occasion, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep her position as a concubine, right?
She was different. Although she was also dissatisfied with Mu Sili, she knew her limits and would not express her dissatisfaction at this time.
"Concubine Li is very dissatisfied with me. I wonder when did I offend you to make you so dissatisfied?
Although the eldest princess is your daughter, she is also the daughter of a prince. Before you discipline her, have you ever considered whether your status is sufficient?"
Mu Sili’s words immediately irritated Concubine Li.
"Nian, you and I are both the prince's concubines. What right do you have to lecture me? I entered the palace earlier than you. Don't you know the difference between high and low?"
The eldest princess is the prince's daughter and also the daughter of this concubine. Why can't this concubine discipline her?"
"Just because her last name is Aixinjueluo and not Li!"
Yinzhen's unhappy voice came from the side, which finally brought Li back to her senses.
Was she possessed by a ghost just now? Why did she say those things for no reason?
The prince looked furious. Could it be that he had no regard for their past friendship? Was he willing to treat me like this?
They were clearly in love before Mu Sili entered the mansion, so why did it become like this?
It's all her fault, otherwise she would still be the most favored concubine Li in the mansion. If she hadn't entered the mansion, how could so many bad things happen?
Huai Ke has suppressed the sadness in her heart. For so many years, her mother has never cared about her. Why should she care about her?
"Father, my daughter is grown up now. It's not a good idea for her to stay at home all the time. I don't want her to marry anyone I want.
How about this, my daughter take some people with her to travel outside the capital. If she meets the right person, she will ask the Emperor to grant her marriage."
Yinzhen knew that she was irritated by Concubine Li, so it would be better for her to go out for a walk so as to avoid staying in the mansion and having to face her mood.
"Okay, Father will arrange more people to protect you. Don't forget your surname is Aixinjueluo when you are out there. If anyone wants to take advantage of you, feel free to take action."
"Yes, I will remember this. I'll take my leave."
Concubine Li really didn't expect Huai Ke to do this. She was a little confused. She just said a few words to her, so why did she want to leave the house?
Did she know that her marriage would affect Hongshi's status in the mansion? If she just married a random scholar, how could she be a help to Hongshi?
"No, you can't go out."
"How dare you! Drag Li away! I think she's lost her mind. Why is it her turn to disapprove of something I've already decided?"
"yes."
Concubine Li was forcibly taken away, but this episode did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for the twins.
Since the full moon banquet, Mu Sili has completely taken control of Prince Yong's Mansion. Nianhulu is very anxious. Since Hongli revealed his talent, he is not as favored as before.
"Hongli, tell your mother what's going on. Why doesn't the prince value you anymore?"
"Mother, this matter is really none of my business. I don't know why Father has suddenly become so cold towards me."
