He was already here, so why was his mother so enthusiastic the moment she saw him? Was she so enthusiastic that she asked him to recite the Three Character Classic on the spot and even explain its meaning?
"Mother, please don't do this. Your son is scared."
"Scared? Xiaojiu, you haven't seen me for a few months. Have you grown estranged from your mother? Indeed, your mother is imprisoned in this dark and gloomy Yongshou Palace. It's only natural that you despise her.
Yuzhi, send Xiaojiu out. I am already disliked by so many people, so you'd better not let him stay here any longer, lest he dislike Xiaoshi as well.
Xiao Shi, I am sorry for you. I always want you to work harder. If something happens to me, you can live well with your own ability.
I didn't expect that it was mother who brought you trouble. Don't worry, mother will never force you to study again. You can go with Xiaojiu.
No matter how good this Yongshou Palace is, it shouldn't be a shackle that holds you captive. Don't come here unless you have anything to do. Mother is afraid of upsetting you."
When these words were spoken, Nanny Chen and Yuzhi were speechless, but after seeing the panic-stricken looks on Yin'er and Yin?, they decided to pretend not to see anything.
The Empress has become more and more naughty since she became pregnant. Look how scared she has made the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince.
If what I just said were to get out, the emperor would definitely beat the two princes.
Unfortunately, the two princes were still young and had no idea that the empress was deliberately teasing them. Look, they were almost crying.
"Mother, mother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your son dislike you? I have done everything you asked of me. You must not wrongly accuse me."
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. My son just doesn't want to study for the time being and wants to play more. After all, he is still young and it is normal for him to like to play.
Don't worry, my son will go back and start his enlightenment soon. I will definitely be able to answer your questions when we meet next time."
"Really? I'm not forcing you. I just want you to learn well so that when the baby in my belly is born, you can teach them. That's all I have in mind."
"Um?"
Yin was confused. Didn’t mother tell him before that he would teach his younger siblings? Why did she want to include ninth brother in the list now?
Although I have a good relationship with my ninth brother, he is not as knowledgeable as me. If I let him teach my younger siblings, wouldn’t that be harming them?
Yinzhen was equally confused. He himself was a half-baked person, so why did your mother trust him so much? If he really taught his newborn siblings, wouldn't that harm them?
But if I study hard from now on, it seems that it is not impossible. As long as I become someone who is praised by even the Emperor, then there will be no problem in teaching my younger siblings.
Besides, your mother looks so lost. I am a filial son, how can I let her down?
"Don't be disappointed, dear mother. I don't know much about that knowledge now, but I can learn it. Don't worry, I will go back and study hard. When I become good, I can teach them.
Tenth brother, Ninth brother can't play with you anymore. From now on, Ninth brother has to study hard. Please take care of yourself."
Yin? was so angry. He always felt that Yin'er was trying to steal his girl.
"Mother, I can teach my younger siblings. I don't need Ninth Brother's help. Mother, please have a good rest. I will go back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to study now."
Before Yinzhen could react, Yin? ran away.
"It seems that Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi are both ambitious. I am very pleased."
"Mother, I have returned to Yikun Palace to study. I will take my leave."
After both of them left, Nanny Chen looked at Mu Sili with disapproval.
"My Lady, both of you are still young."
"I did it on purpose."
Nanny Chen was speechless. Ever since the Empress said she wanted to be the same as before, she always did things that she couldn't understand, and she didn't know whether they were good or bad.
Time passed quickly, and Concubine De took action.
In Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort ordered people to prepare for action as soon as she heard Concubine De's move.
"This time, I won't be soft-hearted. It was because of my soft-heartedness that I sowed the seeds of such a disaster. Otherwise, why would Xiao Si become estranged from me?
Come, make sure that Concubine De is dead and gone. I want Xiao Si to have only me as his mother from now on!"
"yes."
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De always had a bad premonition, which was so strong that she had to take it seriously.
"Someone, come here, what's going on outside? I'm about to give birth, why is it so quiet? Where's the Emperor? Where's the Imperial Concubine? Why haven't they come yet?
I was only confined to Yonghe Palace, not deposed. Why didn’t the noble ladies who lived in Yonghe Palace come?
Now that my maternal family is gone, do they no longer take me, a virtuous concubine, seriously? Let them take care of me quickly, or I’ll make them suffer when I give birth.”
Defei thought that since she had said this, someone would definitely come and wait outside the delivery room, and someone might even pass the news here to Kangxi. However, things did not turn out as she expected.
There was no one outside the delivery room, and even the people inside the room ignored her.
"What's going on? Don't you take my words seriously?"
Perhaps it was too quiet, so quiet that Concubine De finally felt scared. In this situation, she could only speak loudly to hide her fear.
"Your Majesty, please don't waste your time. You haven't given birth yet, so don't make any unnecessary struggles. I advise you to be obedient, so that you can suffer less when you set out on the journey."
Perhaps because she was too noisy, the midwife told her directly that she would die, which scared Concubine De so much that she turned over and prepared to run away.
"You'd better stop struggling. It's useless. The Emperor has forced you to abdicate and imprison you in Yonghe Palace. Your mother's family is gone, so no one dares to come near you.
If you accept the truth obediently, I can let you go in a dignified manner and keep the child in your womb. Otherwise, I am afraid that the news of your death will spread in Yonghe Palace."
Defei didn't want to die. How could she die when she hadn't even taken the throne of Empress Dowager? She was pregnant with the heir to the throne. They were definitely trying to scare her, and Kangxi wouldn't allow her to be harmed.
However, when these people received the news from Chengqian Palace, in order to avoid any further complications that might implicate themselves, they did not give Concubine De a chance to react and directly pushed her onto the bed to begin delivering the baby.
Defei never thought that they would actually dare to attack her. She burst into tears and wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't find the words. She could only die with hatred in her heart.
"It's a princess, and she's still alive."
"Hello Princess, no one will care if she lives or dies, just report it."
When Kangxi received the news, Concubine De was almost dead. He knew it was the Imperial Noble Concubine who did it. After settling his new daughter, he got up and went to Chengqian Palace.
"Is Consort De dead? That's great. From now on, Xiao Si will only have me as his mother. When the time comes, he will have to rely on me for everything he wants, and I won't tolerate his displeasure."
