"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will send someone over to inquire about the progress."
In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong's face looked a little bad, but it was not directed at Mu Sili, but at Xiaozhuang.
She has been disliked by her since she entered the palace. If she had not been Kangxi's cousin, how could she have become a concubine?
When Empress Yuan passed away, Kangxi proposed to give the crown prince to her to raise, but Xiaozhuang refused because the crown prince was a legitimate son and could not be raised by a concubine.
Knowing that Xiaozhuang disliked her, she did not force it, but now she agreed to let the prince follow Mu Sili back to Xianfu Palace alone, which made her feel that her respect for Xiaozhuang was worthless.
"My lady, are you okay?"
"I was just a little surprised that the Grand Empress Dowager agreed to let Concubine Nara take the Crown Prince away. You should know that even though I am a concubine, I cannot see the Crown Prince alone."
This is a bit ironic. She, a legitimate concubine, is not as good as a concubine with a unified title. It is really funny.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. No matter what happens, Concubine Nara can't surpass you. Don't forget that you are the emperor's cousin. She can't compare to you.
Besides, how could the Empress Dowager really let Concubine Nara take the Crown Prince away? She must have secretly arranged for many people to protect him.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any problems with Concubine Nara this time, I'm afraid there will be no Concubine Nara in this palace."
Concubine Tong narrowed her eyes. What did this maid mean? Instigating her to deal with Mu Sili? Did she look like a fool?
Now Mu Sili is not only favored but also has a son and the trust of Empress Xiaozhuang. If she really attacks her, then her position as a concubine will be over.
The grand title ceremony will be held soon, and she cannot afford to make any mistakes at this time. She has already missed the position of queen, and she cannot lose the position of noble concubine or even imperial noble concubine that she has obtained.
Imperial Noble Consort is second only to the Empress, and her rank is higher than that of the Vice Empress. If she could really become Imperial Noble Consort, it would be a huge blow to the Nianhulu family.
But before that, she wanted to see who this palace maid in front of her belonged to. How dare she act rashly in her Chengqian Palace? Did she think that she would be easy to deal with because she had fallen out of favor?
Even without Kangxi's favor, given the Tong family's current status, they would have to think twice before touching her.
"Come here, take her away. I don't know when this Chengqian Palace has produced such a traitor. Let me give her a thorough interrogation."
Perhaps it was because Concubine Tong had not been angry for a long time, so they forgot to react. After a long time, the nanny came to her senses and hurriedly ordered someone to take the palace maid away.
"Your Majesty, it is because of my poor management that I have allowed a traitor to appear in the palace. Please punish me."
"It's none of Madam's business. This place is full of intrigue and deception. If no one is thinking about me, it means I am not a threat to them.
Since they are so eager for me and Concubine Nara to become enemies, then I will let them watch how I become sisters with Concubine Nara."
The nanny's face froze. How could the queen be so depressed that she would even think of becoming a close friend with a concubine?
But then I thought again and felt that this was a good thing. It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. At least there will be someone to help when something happens.
"Your Majesty is right. Concubine Nara seems kind. You are in a high position. If you take the initiative to befriend her, she will definitely be grateful to you.
Moreover, you have no children now, and the emperor favors Concubine Nara. If Concubine Nara says a few good words for you, the emperor can come to Chengqian Palace more often.
If you can have a child, you will have someone to rely on in the future. Even if you can't become the queen, with a child by your side, the queen won't dare to do anything to you."
Although she felt that what the nanny said was wrong, Concubine Tong admitted that Mu Sili's favor for her was beyond her imagination.
It was a great pity that she missed the position of queen because of her humble family background, but Hesheli was gone, so there was no need for her to hold a grudge.
It was Nianhulu who was a little pretentious. Did those who entered the palace with her think that she didn't know what she was thinking?
First, she sought the position of queen, and then gave birth to a prince. If this prince could seize the favor of the crown prince, it would be hard to say who would be the crown prince.
Outsiders are now praising her virtue, she wants to see how long she can sit on the throne of queen and how stable it is!
Although it seemed a bit cheap to show goodwill to Mu Sili, after all, her current status was only a concubine, but she was sure that with her help, Kangxi would definitely come to see her.
Her demands were not high. She just wanted her to conceive a child before Nianhulu. Even if it was a daughter, she would accept it.
"Let's go to Xianfu Palace in a few days. Going now would seem like I'm trying to curry favor with her, which is inappropriate."
"Your Majesty, whatever you say is what you will do. I support all your decisions."
"Madam, you love me the most, so naturally what I say is what you will do. Don't worry, Madam. I also want to see if the rumors are true. If they are, I will never think about that position again."
What Concubine Tong said was true. If the price of becoming queen was early death, she would rather not have it.
Even becoming an Imperial Noble Consort would be good. In the absence of a Queen, the Imperial Noble Consort would be the default master of the harem, which is no worse than the position of the Queen.
Inside the Xianfu Palace, the Crown Prince sat in his seat nervously, not daring to move. This was his first time having a meal outside the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace, and he was a little nervous.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous. I'm not saying anything disrespectful. I'm your stepmother, Wan Fu is your younger brother, and this is your home.
Why should you be nervous in your own home? Just tell me what you want to eat or what you want. If I don’t have it, I will ask the emperor for it.”
The prince looked at her in surprise. Shouldn't she have said that even if she didn't have it, she would find a way to get it for him? Why did she bring up the Emperor?
"The prince is still young, please don't teach him recklessly. I have high hopes for him. If you teach him bad things, who can I complain to?"
As soon as Kangxi came in, he rolled his eyes at Mu Sili. He was surprised but also felt it was reasonable that the Queen Mother was willing to let the Prince have dinner at Xianfu Palace.
After all, she had taken the initiative to propose to make her a concubine, so it was only right that she could be closer to the prince.
The Queen Mother is old and does not have enough energy to focus on the Crown Prince. If Mu Sili becomes the concubine, it is okay to let her raise the Crown Prince temporarily.
But now he has to consider the feasibility of this matter. After all, the prince is the crown prince after all. If he is taught badly, he will have no face to face his ancestors.
"What is your Majesty talking about? How could I possibly be teaching Your Highness something wrong? I am not wrong. I am indeed Your Highness's concubine mother. Of course, if I don't have something, I will ask you for it. Can I actually create it myself?"
