"Noble Concubine, since you have taken control of the six palaces, you must handle their affairs properly. Don't bring all your worries to the surface. It makes me uncomfortable."
Concubine Nianhulu hurried forward to apologize. It was her negligence. If she hadn't thought about the fact that Concubine Ma Jia had given birth to so many children for Kangxi, she would not have brought her here.
If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have offended Empress Xiaozhuang, and she wouldn't have been scolded.
"It's my fault. I will pay more attention next time."
"Alright, I'm tired. Except for Concubine Nara, everyone else should go back."
"yes."
Mu Sili stood there obediently waiting to be interrogated by Empress Xiaozhuang, but she thought too much. Empress Xiaozhuang kept her so that she could take care of the prince.
"You will soon be the master of a palace. Be generous. I left you alone today, not only to reassure you, but also to hope that you can take care of the crown prince.
The Crown Prince lost his mother when he was young. Yesterday I discovered that he is not only close to Wan Fu, but also to you. The position of Crown Prince is not easy to sit on, and I hope you can help him.
Don't worry, since I can say this to you, it means I trust you. As long as you are sincere to the prince, you will be blessed in the future."
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. Even if you don't remind me, I will let him follow the Crown Prince. I don't have any big ambitions, I just hope to raise him up.
To be honest, I am counting on Wan Fu to get close to the Crown Prince. If he can become a prince, at least a duke or something, I will be able to enjoy the happiness along with him."
Xiaozhuang's mouth twitched. A prince? How much does this mean to her great-grandson? With Wan Fu being such a small-time guy, he could easily get the title of Iron-hat Prince.
However, she was very satisfied with Mu Sili's attitude. Since she dared to tell her her thoughts so bluntly, it proved that she really thought so.
Suddenly, she felt that there was nothing wrong with giving her the position of concubine. Anyway, the imperial edict had not been issued yet. Since she stood on the side of the prince, she naturally had to give her something decent.
Let Kangxi come over later. It is better to explain this matter to him as soon as possible, so as to avoid changing my mind at the last minute and being accused of acting on impulse.
"I understand. Don't worry, your good days are still ahead. Go and play with the Crown Prince and Wan Fu for a while."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
As soon as Mu Sili left, the people arranged by Su Malagu left the Cining Palace and headed towards the Qianqing Palace.
When Kangxi learned of Xiaozhuang's thoughts, his whole face was filled with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Madam, didn't you disagree before? You even said you'd wait until she gave birth to another prince before making her a consort. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I didn't think she was really on Baocheng's side before, so I naturally didn't dare to give her a high position. Now that it's confirmed, of course I have to give her a high position.
Only if she stands in a high position will she have enough ability to protect Baocheng and Wanfu. I have no other requests, I just hope that the prince can keep his position.
I hope that no matter how many children you have or how much you favor a concubine, you can always be sincere to Nara. This way, Baocheng's position will be more stable."
Kangxi was shocked. What happened today? Why did the Queen Mother say such a thing?
It seems that he still has to go to Xianfu Palace later. He feels that his concubine has a little secret, which she won’t tell him!
"Don't worry, Madam. I understand. Since Madam has spoken, I will give her the title of consort."
"Go and do your thing. I'm really tired right now."
"good."
Mu Sili took Wan Fu to play until almost dinner time before leaving the Cining Palace. Seeing the prince looking at her eagerly, Mu Sili softened her heart.
"Your Highness, would you like to go back to Xianfu Palace with me for dinner? I will take you back to Yuqing Palace later."
The prince's eyes lit up. Go, of course he had to go. Mu Sili took the initiative to invite him to Xianfu Palace. He must establish a good relationship with her so that he could play more with Wan Fu.
"Grandfather, Baocheng wants to go."
Seeing his expectant look, Empress Xiaozhuang naturally would not refuse. She hoped that the relationship between him and Mu Sili and her son would become closer.
"Okay, Concubine Nara, I will leave the Crown Prince in your care. There's no need to send him back to Yuqing Palace later. Let him sleep with Wan Fu tonight."
When these words came out, the prince was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high, but because of the rules, he controlled his excitement.
"I will protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wan Fu. I will take my leave."
The news that Mu Sili brought the prince back to Xianfu Palace spread quickly, and everyone in the harem had the same reaction. They felt that Xiaozhuang valued her too much.
"What does the Grand Empress Dowager mean by this? The Crown Prince is the heir apparent, and Nara is just a concubine. Even if the Crown Prince loves the Ninth Prince so much, there's no need for him to give her such a face, right?
I have reason to suspect that the Emperor has given her a rank higher than just a concubine, but how did she become a concubine? Could it be because the Crown Prince likes Wan Fu?
Concubine Nianhulu looked a little ugly. Although Mu Sili becoming a concubine had little impact on her, she always felt like she was slapped in the face.
She had been a concubine since she entered the palace, and was promoted to a noble concubine when Empress Yuan passed away. Now she was about to become the queen. Her promotion speed was the fastest in the harem, but she just felt that she could not compare to Mu Sili.
If she remembered correctly, there was no title of concubine in Kangxi's promotion decree this time. After all, she was about to become the queen, so Kangxi still had to tell her about this.
It didn’t matter what she was given before, it had little impact on her. She just needed to secure her position as queen.
But now it is different. The prince is getting closer and closer to her. Judging from Kangxi's favor for her and the prince, even if she is not given the title of concubine this time, she will be given the title of concubine soon.
There is a fixed number of concubines above the rank of concubine. If she occupies one of them early on, then it is possible for her to become a noble concubine or even a royal noble concubine in the future.
Thinking of this, her face became even uglier.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if she gets a high position, she still has to kneel down and pay her respects to you. Even if she is an Imperial Consort, she is still a concubine in front of you!"
As soon as the personal maid spoke, Concubine Nianhulu's face instantly brightened. It was true. Even if Mu Sili was favored, she could not surpass her.
However, she was a little too boastful. A concubine dared to bring the prince back to Xianfu Palace. Did she think that she could definitely keep the prince and Wan Fu safe?
There are many people in the palace who are jealous of her, so she might as well wait and see what happens. No matter what the consequences are, she just needs to watch.
"I understand. She's just a concubine. There's no need to take up so much of my time. Let's go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The decree for her promotion will be issued soon. Have my court robes been prepared?"
