Kangxi said without hesitation that he was not here to take her out for a walk. The palace was not peaceful, and he would not feel at ease even if he took her out.
It would be safer to stay in Yongshou Palace, and he would feel at ease without having to worry about her being hurt.
"But I'm really bored. Well, I'll go sit in the Cining Palace. I heard that the Empress Dowager has been in a bad mood recently, so I'll go and talk to her."
"That's fine. If you go to the Cining Palace, don't mention the Imperial Noble Consort. She's already pissed her off. Don't make her even more angry."
After knowing that Mu Sili and the Royal Mother would chat about a lot of gossip when they got together, Kangxi quickly reminded Mu Sili not to mention the Royal Concubine this time.
Although the Royal Mother would not do anything to Mousse Li, he would still annoy her in advance. If the Royal Mother's mood were to get worse, he, the emperor, would be the one to suffer.
After all, the Imperial Noble Consort is not only the highest-ranking person in the harem, but also his cousin. It's so hard, so miserable.
"Did the Imperial Concubine anger the Grand Empress Dowager? How could I not know when this happened? Don't worry, I know what's going on and won't anger the Grand Empress Dowager.
But you have to tell me what the Imperial Noble Consort did. Only after I know the whole story can I behave properly in front of the Grand Empress Dowager.
Although the Empress Dowager loves me, I am a junior and cannot do anything that would anger her, and I do not want her to be sad.
Kangxi thought about it carefully and felt that this was the case, so he told the imperial concubine everything she had done, including what she had just said in Chengqian Palace.
"Are you saying that the Imperial Concubine wanted to drug the Grand Empress Dowager? The Grand Empress Dowager is such a kind and gentle person, how could she have the heart to do that?
I'm not saying this to you, this is all your fault. If you had given her everything she wanted earlier, she wouldn't have become like this, and she wouldn't have attacked Empress Dowager Tai Huang.
But she's also stupid. Doesn't she just say what she wants? Why does she have to wait for you to bring it up? Is she just being so foolish?
The Empress Dowager only drugged her as a punishment. After guessing the truth, she did not repent but wanted to retaliate. Such a person is not worthy of the position of Queen.
Your Majesty, let me make my position clear. If you really want to make her the queen, I will be the first to disagree.
Not only that, I will immediately move to the Cining Palace with Xiao Shi to keep the Grand Empress Dowager company, and of course, my unborn child as well."
Seeing Mu Sili so angry, Kangxi didn't know what to do.
He clearly told him what the Imperial Concubine had done according to her wishes, so how did it become his fault?
Also, when did he say that he wanted to make the Imperial Noble Consort the Queen? How come he, the person involved, didn’t know about it?
"When did I ever say such a thing?"
"I was just making an analogy. Your Majesty, how can you take it seriously? Well, I'll go to the Cining Palace to see the Grand Empress Dowager. Please feel free to do as you please."
Mu Sili ignored Yin Xi who was eavesdropping outside the door and directly took Nanny Chen and Yuzhi to the Cining Palace.
Empress Xiaozhuang is in a bad mood right now. If I don’t go to improve her favorability now, when will I go?
It was not until Mu Sili disappeared from view that Kangxi realized that he had been abandoned. The moment he saw Yinzhen, he was not so sad anymore.
It is normal for a son of his age to be ignored. Besides, she just talked to him so much. He should be content.
"Father, didn't Mother see her son?"
"No, she has something to do. Come back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with me."
Yinzhen intuitively felt that this was not the case, he was simply being ignored, but since Kangxi didn't listen to him, there was nothing he could do.
In the Cining Palace, Empress Xiaozhuang was already laughing heartily because of Mu Sili.
"I am indeed a little unhappy. The Imperial Concubine is a little self-righteous, but I have already punished her and do not want to ask about this matter anymore.
But she's gone a little too far, and she still refuses to give up, wanting the Tong family to help her take action against me."
"Don't worry about this, let the emperor worry about it. This is his fault, why should you suffer and be implicated?
In my opinion, you should pay attention to my belly and see if I am pregnant with twins, a boy or a girl. It would be even better if it is twins, a boy and a girl.
Xiaozhuang's attention was successfully diverted by Mu Sili. Indeed, it would be best to let Kangxi handle this matter. She was old and there was no need to worry about these things.
Besides, she doesn't have more than two years to live, so she'd better enjoy her later years.
"Let me take a look. I really can't guess the gender of the two little ones in your belly, but don't worry, I like them regardless of whether they are boys or girls."
After returning to Yongshou Palace, Mu Sili had Yinzhen brought back.
"Mother, I thought you had forgotten you had a son."
Hearing such a plaintive voice, Mu Sili almost laughed out loud.
"How could Mother forget you? Wasn't Mother thinking about comforting the Grand Empress Dowager first? If Mother had forgotten you, why would she have sent someone to bring you here?"
Yin? half-heartedly forgave Mu Sili for forgetting his son, but before he could be happy for long, Mu Sili began to test his homework.
Even after returning to the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen still looked like he had lost all hope in life.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you go to Yongshou Palace?"
"Father, I don't want to go back to Yongshou Palace for the time being. Mother always torments me whenever she's bored. You don't know that I almost memorized the Three Character Classic by heart before I was allowed to come back.
My son is still so young, how could my mother bear to treat him like this? I am not exaggerating, but if this happens a few more times, I am afraid he will become a nerd.
Seeing that Yinzhen looked a little shocked, Kangxi showed an approving look and comforted him.
"Don't panic, I have a solution. Aren't you closest to Xiaojiu? Next time you go to Yongshou Palace, just take him with you.
I think after your mother sees Xiaojiu, she will no longer be angry with you alone. If you two brothers work together, he will definitely help you share the burden."
Yinzhen always felt that there was something wrong with what Kangxi said, but thinking that Mu Sili would really hold on to him, he decided to drag Yinzhen into the water as well.
Good brothers have to suffer together. With his help to share the anger from my mother, I can suffer less.
"I understand, son. Thank you, Father Huang, for clearing up my confusion."
Yin'er had no idea that just a few words from the two of them had ruined his good days. He was still thinking of going to find Yin'er to play when he was free, but when he went to find Yin'er again, he was caught by Mu Sili.
"Xiaojiu, come quickly. Your mother hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you so much. Tell your mother quickly, have you memorized the Three Character Classic? Do you understand its meaning?"
Yinzhen responded to Mu Sili in a confused state the whole time. He didn't understand what was going on. He was clearly going to find Yinzhen, so why did he end up in Yongshou Palace?
