He decided to take Xiao Si to Chengqian Palace to be raised because he felt guilty and because Uya was from Chengqian Palace. He also named Uya as a noble lady.
However, since Xiao Si came into being, the imperial concubine had a smile on her face again, she became more energetic, and was willing to talk to him.
"Liang Jiugong, check whether Concubine De was favored by the Imperial Noble Concubine when she was first promoted to the throne, or whether she deliberately climbed into the bed with him."
Liang Jiugong was shocked. Is it necessary to check this?
The Imperial Noble Consort's attitude at the time clearly showed that it was Consort De who climbed into her bed while she was away. What's the point of investigating?
But he was a slave, and he had to do whatever Kangxi said. If he objected, he would be kicked, and he couldn't bear to get kicked in the butt again.
"Yes, I will send someone to check it out right away."
Yonghe Palace.
"Empress Defei, the Imperial Noble Consort sympathizes with your difficult pregnancy and has specially allowed you to rest in Yonghe Palace until the birth. Please close the gates of Yonghe Palace."
"What do you mean? Is the Imperial Concubine going to confine me to this palace?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. The decree was issued by the Emperor. Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine only made the suggestion."
Defei's face was gloomy. What did Tong Jia mean by this? Was she angry that Yinzhen knew her background and worried that he would become estranged from her?
Oh, it's just house arrest. Anyway, Yinzhen already knows her life experience, and he will definitely think that it was her who caused the separation of mother and son.
Besides, none of those girls wanted to give birth to another prince, so even if she was confined to her house, it would only be for half a year, which was just enough time for her to take good care of the baby.
If another prince is born, not only will it piss them off to death, it will also annoy Tong Jia.
"I understand. I will take good care of my pregnancy in Yonghe Palace. Please go back, eunuch."
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was very puzzled by her reaction, but he did not delve into it. Instead, he knelt down to pay his respects and left.
When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he happened to see Liang Jiugong walking back and forth outside the palace gate, so he went up to him and told him about this.
"You said Concubine De wasn't angry?"
"Yes, I was a little confused at first, but I laughed later. The servant couldn't understand it."
"Okay, we got it, let's back off."
"yes."
Liang Jiugong went in and told Kangxi about this. Kangxi thought too much about it. Defei probably thought that he was protecting her and the baby in her womb.
"Did you find out?"
"No, I'll go right away."
The next day, Kangxi immediately reported what he had found to Liang Jiugong.
"Your Majesty, I have found out."
"explain."
"According to several maids in Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort was feeling unwell and was about to ask servants to come in and serve her, but Concubine De took advantage of the situation and went into the bathroom.
Later, when the Empress came back, the matter on your side was almost done. The Empress originally wanted to have Concubine De beaten to death, but seeing that you seemed satisfied, she sent her to Yonghe Palace.
There was a maidservant climbing onto the bed in the palace. The Empress was disgusted and angry that you had hired her as a maidservant in Chengqian Palace, so she closed the palace.
Kangxi had just picked up the tea and took a sip when he was so angry that he choked after hearing this.
“Cough cough...cough cough...”
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"I'm fine... ahem... you mean, Concubine De was the one who climbed into bed?"
"That's right."
He is really great. When he first saw Concubine De’s frightened look, he thought she was afraid because she was suddenly pushed out by the Imperial Noble Concubine to consolidate her favor. He didn’t expect that she was just pretending!
"Let's stop here for now. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant. Send people to guard Chengqian Palace. I don't want to hear any news of any incident in Chengqian Palace."
"yes."
"By the way, find those people who gossiped about Xiao Si and send them to Xinzheku to serve their sentences.
Since you like gossiping so much, you should learn how to behave in Xinzheku."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Thanks to Kangxi's protection, Mu Sili had a very good life in Chengqian Palace.
After handing over the palace power to Concubine Wenxi, he never left Chengqian Palace except to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
Cining Palace.
"Su Ma, have you found out whether the Imperial Concubine's baby is a boy or a girl?"
"We found out. Doctor Lin reported that it's a little princess."
When Xiaozhuang heard that Mu Sili was pregnant with a princess, she felt relieved. The prince had no biological mother and was raised by her and Kangxi. In addition, since he was the legitimate son, Xiaozhuang could not help but favor him.
After learning that the Imperial Noble Consort was pregnant, she was very worried that she was carrying a prince.
After all, the position of the Imperial Noble Consort is higher than that of the Vice Queen. If she gave birth to a prince, Kangxi would have every reason to make her the new Queen.
Once the Imperial Noble Consort becomes the Empress, her son becomes the legitimate son.
Although the crown prince has been appointed, there is no guarantee that she will not instigate Kangxi to change the crown prince for the sake of her own son.
Now that she heard the exact news, she could finally rest assured.
"Send some gifts to the Imperial Concubine and tell her that I am looking forward to the birth of this little princess."
"Yes, princess, I will go and see you off myself."
When Mu Sili received the reward from Empress Xiaozhuang, she directly said that she wanted to go to the Cining Palace to thank Empress Xiaozhuang for the reward.
Seeing that she was so respectful to Xiaozhuang even though she was pregnant, Su Malagu was very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, just rest assured and take care of your baby. You are not in good health, so please don't overwork yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I know everything. Please help me thank the Empress Dowager for her reward."
"good."
Three months later, Concubine De launched a rebellion in Yonghe Palace.
She originally wanted to give birth to a son to consolidate her position and stimulate other concubines, but she didn't expect to give birth to a princess.
"Congratulations, Madam Defei, it's a princess. The Seventh Princess is so beautiful."
However, Concubine De didn't even take a look at him and had him carried away. He was not a prince and was not worth her even a glance.
What she didn't know was that this midwife was sent by Kangxi. After learning that she had never even seen the Seventh Princess, Kangxi ordered on the spot that the Seventh Princess be given to Concubine Guaerjia.
Guaerjia had fallen out of favor, and when she suddenly had a daughter, she burst into tears of joy and said that she would raise the seventh princess as her own daughter.
Defei, who was still in the delivery room, fainted from anger at the news. So her daughter was born to Hepin, right?
"They're all gone."
"yes."
Mu Sili left holding her nearly seven-month-old belly. She was about to give birth and couldn't let anything go wrong here.
Two months later, Mu Sili took action.
Yinzhen was very nervous because he had to educate his younger brothers and sisters.
But he is not ready yet and is still learning from the prince, while his younger brothers and sisters are about to come out.
"What's with that expression on your face? You look so bitter and resentful! Your mother is just giving birth to a child, don't be afraid."
"Father Emperor, what are you shaking about?"
"I'm afraid your Royal Mother will cry out in pain. I'm a little worried. After all, she's a grown-up and she's most afraid of pain."
Yinzhen looked at him with contempt and then frowned in thought. What should he do? He was so anxious!
Kangxi was very curious about what he was thinking about, why was he so serious?
