"Your Majesty, the Emperor dotes on Concubine Xian too much. Concubine Jia just contradicted her a few times today, and she got this fate. Twenty slaps, Concubine Jia's face is probably ruined.
If you ever say something unpleasant to her, she'll probably hold a grudge against you and report you to the Emperor."
The queen, who was originally anxious to conceive a son as soon as possible, fell silent after hearing this. If such a day really came, she would rather not sit on the throne of queen.
"Alright, don't think too much. The Emperor is quite kind to me and won't easily believe what Concubine Xian says. As for Concubine Jia, that was a punishment from the Emperor and has nothing to do with me.
Concubine Jia gave birth to the first son after the emperor ascended the throne, and she is usually arrogant and domineering. Let's take this incident today as a lesson for her. You should bring a nanny over later.
Since the Emperor has said that she has no rules, I, as the head of the harem, should indeed send a nanny to teach her the rules."
"It is my words that have caused your Majesty to worry. Don't worry, your Majesty. I will take people to Yonghe Palace right away."
The queen waved her hand and asked the servants to leave. There were only three princes in the palace now, and Concubine Yu was pregnant with another one. Concubine Yu was Mu Sili's person and could not be trusted.
If she gave birth to a son this time and gave him to Mu Sili to raise, she would be considered a concubine with a son. Given the emperor's favor for her, he would probably directly make her a noble concubine.
She was already wary of her. She was so favored when she was just Concubine Xian. If she really became a noble concubine, she would probably suppress her as the queen.
The emperor is in Chengqian Palace now. Based on past experience, he will definitely stay overnight in Chengqian Palace.
Fortunately, I have manipulated her diet, so even if the emperor stays in Chengqian Palace every day, she will not be able to get pregnant.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and she must take this opportunity to sleep with the emperor. Ever since Yonglian passed away, she clearly felt that the emperor was no longer paying attention to her.
Outside the Yangxin Palace, Lanxiang finally waited for Li Yu.
"Eunuch Li Yu, what took you so long? I thought you were in trouble with the Empress and was about to return to Chengqian Palace to get help."
"It's alright, the matter has been settled. You can return with the memorial for the Emperor's approval. When you return, tell Her Majesty that Concubine Jia has received her retribution."
Lanxiang was a little confused. Got retribution? What retribution? Didn't the emperor just order some lessons? Why did he mention retribution?
Seeing that Lanxiang was puzzled, Li Yu did not explain much. Mu Sili had always respected him when she was in the residence and had never treated him as a eunuch. He was in awe of her.
He knew what kind of life she had lived in the palace over the years, but she only wanted a stable life, so he couldn't do anything for her.
Things are different now. Now that she has stood up, she must of course repay the kindness of the past, and disfiguring Concubine Jia is one of the ways to do that.
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine Jia always felt that her face was a little itchy and a little stinging. She had a bad premonition in her mind, but she felt that it was impossible.
Li Yu was Qianlong's man and was quite favored. He did not dare to ruin his appearance. It must be that those servants were too harsh on him, which made him uncomfortable.
In Chengqian Palace, Mu Sili, who had finally waited for the two to return, looked at them puzzledly. Why did it feel like they were hiding something from her?
When Lanxiang found the opportunity to tell her what Li Yu had done, she was completely stunned. If she didn't know clearly about the original body's feelings for Qianlong, she would have suspected that Li Yu liked him.
"Li Yu is a man of good nature. I was just being kind to him. I didn't expect to receive a gift from him today. I feel a little embarrassed."
"Your Majesty, why should you be embarrassed? At most, you can say a few more words on his behalf in front of the Emperor. He will be even more grateful for your kindness."
"Haitang, don't try to repay a favor. Eunuch Li has been very kind to our Chengqian Palace. Don't cause any trouble for him."
Haitang curled her lips. She always felt that there was something between Lanxiang and Li Yu, but she would not say anything without evidence. She was also afraid of bringing disaster to Mu Sili.
"Alright, go down. The emperor needs a nap. I have to go and serve him."
"yes."
It was said that he was serving, but in fact he was just sitting on a chair and reading a book. When Qianlong woke up, he happened to see this scene.
"I thought you would obediently wait by the bed, but I didn't expect you to sit there reading like before. Never mind, I'm used to it."
"Who made the Emperor dote on me? I originally wanted to go up and lie down for a while, but you took up most of the bed, so I couldn't get on at all.
If I hadn't been worried about disturbing you with the noise of climbing up, I would have gone up long ago and wouldn't be reading here. I didn't expect that you would dislike me for not serving you well.
If Your Majesty feels that I am not serving you well, then you might as well not stay in Chengqian Palace today. You can go find whoever you think is serving you better.
This is my temper. It's not the first day you've known me. I'm in a bad mood now and don't want to serve you anymore."
Qianlong felt offended instantly. He was a tall and strong man with a first-class figure. How could he be taking up space?
She must have made up an excuse on purpose. Really, she didn't even come up with a reasonable reason. No one would believe what she said just now.
Also, he just said a few words casually, how could he make her unhappy? This woman is really hard to please.
For a moment, Qianlong actually wanted Mu Sili to go back to the way she was before, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the current situation was pretty good.
She has always been outgoing, but she became more reserved after marrying me. Ultimately, I was the one who trapped her.
If she had been given more trust and love, she would not have become the easiest person to bully in the eyes of the palace people.
"It's my fault. We've been friends for so many years, are you really willing to push me out? You have to think it over carefully. If I leave, you won't regret it."
Mu Sili immediately narrowed her eyes and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that the emperor really intends to leave Chengqian Palace. It's too late. Once you enter my Chengqian Palace, it will be like Tang Monk entering the Silken Web Cave. You can't leave."
What else could Qianlong do? He couldn't leave, so he could only stay in Chengqian Palace.
That night, Qianlong stayed in Chengqian Palace. Perhaps because Mu Sili let go of her temper, she made him feel a different kind of happiness, so the two of them kept making out until three o'clock in the morning.
"I will be drained dry by you, little devil, sooner or later."
"Look at what you said. If I don't squeeze you dry, will I let others squeeze you dry? I'm not a fool. I want to monopolize your favor and let them continue to be jealous."
