She was 100% sure that Empress Xiaozhuang was deliberately not seeing her. Otherwise, why would she rest when she came, rather than rest in the morning or in the evening?
I don’t know what conflict she had with Empress Xiaozhuang, but that old woman just didn’t like her. The reason why she couldn’t sit on the throne of Empress was definitely because of her.
I had heard Kangxi mention before that he was unlucky with his wife. It was probably that old man's nonsense, otherwise she would be the queen by now.
She felt very sad when she thought that although she was an imperial concubine, she could not be buried with Kangxi.
It was clearly agreed that she would be the queen, but she outlasted Hesheli and then Niuhulu, and never got the throne as she wished.
If the two of them were still alive, they would definitely laugh at her for overestimating her own abilities.
She also knew why Xiaozhuang disliked her. Wasn't it because the Tong family didn't support Kangxi when he was a child? Was there any need to hold a grudge until now?
Over the years, she has been diligently helping Kangxi manage the harem just to become the queen. If she still can't achieve her wish in two years, she will send this old woman to death!
Su Malagu clearly saw the murderous intent that flashed across the Imperial Concubine's eyes, and at that moment, murderous intent also flashed in her eyes.
This is the Cining Palace. The Imperial Noble Concubine showed her murderous intentions here, which clearly showed that she was targeting Empress Xiaozhuang.
He showed murderous intentions towards Empress Xiaozhuang on her territory. Did he think he had secured the position of Imperial Noble Consort?
"Your Highness, please go back. The Grand Empress Dowager has just fallen asleep and won't be awake for a while. There's no need for you to stay here all the time."
The Imperial Noble Consort came back to her senses. After hearing Sumalagu's cold tone, she didn't want to stay in the Cining Palace anymore. Since Empress Xiaozhuang refused to see her, she would go find Kangxi.
She just couldn't believe that Xiaozhuang didn't care and that he could turn a blind eye when she made a fuss in front of him. If that was true, then Mu Sili would definitely be a stumbling block on her way to becoming the queen.
As long as she is around, I will never be able to become the queen.
"Since the Grand Empress Dowager is still resting, I will not disturb her. I will come to pay my respects to her another day."
"Go slowly, Madam."
When Xiaozhuang woke up, Su Malagu immediately told her the imperial concubine's reaction.
"Am I too old to lift a knife? She, a royal concubine, dares to harbor murderous intentions towards me. If I ever displease her again, won't she stab me twice?
It was indeed reasonable not to let her take the throne of Queen in the first place. If she were to take the throne of Queen today, I’m afraid even I, the Grand Empress Dowager, would have to bow to her.”
"Princess, do you want me to take action?"
"No need. She's been weak these past few years, and she's been severely depleted since giving birth to the Eighth Princess. Even if you don't do anything, she only has a few years left to live. There's no need to dirty your hands."
"I understand."
When the Imperial Noble Consort arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, she vented all her dissatisfaction.
Kangxi was helpless. This was the Qianqing Palace, not the Chengqian Palace. As an imperial concubine, was she shameless?
"I have promised this. Little Nine and Little Ten are indeed a bit naughty. Starting their enlightenment now will allow them to learn the rules as soon as possible and avoid bringing shame to the royal family.
As for the fact that the Imperial Concubine gave them enlightenment, since I know about it, it is fine. There is no need to make another trip to Chengqian Palace."
It's true that people with the surname Niuhulu are no good. Look how much she has bewitched Kangxi that she has disregarded the rules. If she continues like this, will there still be a place for her as the Imperial Noble Consort in this palace?
"Your Majesty, the rift between us is growing. And since I haven't given birth to a prince, it's only natural that Your Majesty despises me. I'll take my leave."
Looking at her back, Kangxi couldn't help but frown.
What did she mean? Blame herself? Why should she blame herself?
If she wasn't my cousin, I would never have made her the Imperial Consort.
Not to mention that the Queen Mother doesn't allow it, even if she does, she can't sit on the throne of Queen.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine looks very sad. Would you like to..."
"Sad? I look even sadder. I have no peace of mind every day."
After the Imperial Noble Consort returned to Chengqian Palace, she was so angry that she smashed the decorations on the table.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Calm down? I've persevered for so many years, and there's no way I'll let all my efforts go to waste just for such a small matter.
The position of empress belongs to me, even if I can't sit on it for long, it can only be mine. It is simply a dream for Nianhulu to want the position of empress.
It's a pity that the Tenth Prince is now in Yongshou Palace, otherwise I would have found a way to take his life. Then, without support, the Niuhulu family would surely fall out of favor!
The palace maid was helpless, because it was obvious that Concubine De was the person that the Empress hated the most, and the Empress had successfully used the death of the Sixth Prince to alienate the mother-son relationship between Concubine De and the Fourth Prince.
But not long after that, the Empress turned her attention to the Imperial Concubine. It was obvious that the Imperial Concubine had done nothing, but she put more pressure on the Empress than on Concubine De.
I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I just hope that the Queen will not make the wrong choice, otherwise the entire Chengqian Palace will suffer.
"Your Majesty, Consort De is now six months pregnant. You should be worried about whether the baby in her belly is a prince or a princess.
If she gave birth to another prince, the emperor would definitely set his sights on her again.
But she is really good at giving birth. She has only served the emperor for a few years and has already given birth to two sons and a daughter. Although the seventh princess died young, she still has another one in her belly."
The palace maid's words instantly made the imperial concubine focus her attention on Concubine De. Compared to Mu Sili, who now has only one son, Concubine De is her biggest rival.
I originally thought that even if she had a good appearance, she was born into a bannerman family and had a low status. Even if Kangxi liked her very much, he would lose interest in her soon.
But it has been so long, and Kangxi's love for her has not diminished at all, and she has given birth to children one after another.
Even if she took Yinzhen to Chengqian Palace to raise him, what would happen if she kept him under strict guard? She would still have to find a chance to tell Yinzhen that she was his biological mother.
When she thought about how hard she had worked to raise her son, and how just a few words from her made him worry about his biological mother, she felt like she had raised an ungrateful person.
If I hadn't given birth to a princess and hadn't been unable to raise her, I would never have raised her.
Fortunately, Concubine De was unlucky. Even if Kangxi named the sixth child Yinzuo, he still died young.
Not only that, she also found an opportunity to alienate the relationship between mother and son, and make Yinzhen loyal to her, his adoptive mother.
"I haven't seen Xiao Si yet today. Where is he? Is he still in the study?"
"The Fourth Prince is still studying in the Upper Study and hasn't returned yet. Your Majesty, are you missing him? I will send someone to the Upper Study to fetch him."
