After hearing this, Qianlong was completely stunned. Does this mean that she had such a change because she was stimulated by them?
But if that was true, he would want to thank those concubines, otherwise he would not have known that she had such a side.
"It's already three in the morning. Your Majesty should get some sleep. I have to go to Changchun Palace to pay my respects to the Empress early this morning. If I'm late, I'll be ridiculed again."
When Qianlong heard this, he was furious. She had just confronted Concubine Gao, Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia, and Concubine Jia was punished for it. He didn't think she would worry about being ridiculed when paying her respects.
Maybe she was hoping something would go wrong when she was paying her respects, so that she would have an excuse to deal with those concubines who were committing rebellion.
Of course, this was just his guess, but today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and according to the rules he had to go to Changchun Palace to have dinner with the Queen.
But he had already experienced the happiness brought by Mousse Li, and he didn't want to stay overnight in Changchun Palace. The Queen was a bit too serious, and he didn't like it.
It would be better for him to accompany her to Changchun Palace later. He wanted to see who dared to give her a hard time.
"I will get up early and accompany you to Changchun Palace. You can do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, I will cover it for you."
"Your Majesty, are you going to watch a good show? That won't do. My show is not that good. You should at least give me some rewards. I remember you got a pair of jade bracelets the other day. Why don't you use them to bribe me?"
Upon hearing this, Qianlong immediately showed a look of how useless he was. The jade bracelet looked like a good thing, but upon closer inspection, it was an ordinary thing and not worth thinking about.
"It seems that I gave you too few good things, making you feel that even the smallest gains are worth worrying about. After the greetings are over, I will let Li Yu send you some good things."
"That's not a good idea. Am I such a vulgar person? How about this? After the greetings are over, I'll go to the Yangxin Palace and choose it myself. It will be more meaningful if I choose it myself."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's only meaningful because I chose it. I see you're in good spirits now, why don't you try it again? I'm not satisfied yet."
Mu Sili was confused. This bastard Qianlong was really capable. It was already three o'clock in the morning. Wasn't he tired?
It seems that this child must be conceived as soon as possible, otherwise even a cow can’t hold it!
The queen got up early in the morning. She was prepared for Emperor Qianlong to stay overnight in Chengqian Palace, but when she heard that Chengqian Palace had called for water five times, she could no longer sit still.
"What did you say just now, five times? The Emperor actually asked for water five times? Even when Concubine Xian was at the peak of her favor, she only asked for water three times, but this time she asked for water five times!"
The Queen was shocked and puzzled. She didn't understand why Qianlong liked Mu Sili so much, just as she never believed that there was true love in the world.
When she heard this news, she only thought that it was Mu Sili who deliberately seduced Qianlong, which made her so favored.
"I didn't expect Concubine Xian to learn such despicable tactics. Since she has fallen into depravity, I will not bother with her. She can't get pregnant anyway, no matter how favored she is.
But I am different. I am the queen, wise, dignified and generous, and I cannot learn those flattering and seductive tactics."
Having said that, she was still jealous of Mu Sili's favor. If she could be so favored, she would have given birth to countless legitimate sons.
"Your Majesty is right. You are the Empress of the Central Palace, so naturally no one else can compare to you. Those who use dirty tricks to gain power will eventually lose everything they have.
However, I still have to remind Her Majesty that Empress Xian is already favored enough. If she finds out the reason why she cannot get pregnant, she will definitely make a scene before the Emperor.
Since your Majesty has already done it, it would be better to be ruthless and make him lose his fertility directly, so as to prevent future troubles."
Although the queen felt that this idea was a bit too sinister, after thinking about it carefully, it did make sense.
She is just tampering with Mu Sili's diet now. She may get pregnant. If she does get pregnant, her position as queen will definitely be unstable.
Since she has already done it, she might as well do it cleanly. Only when she really can't give birth to a child can she rest assured.
"Just as you said, have someone prepare tea and bring it to Concubine Xian when she comes to pay her respects today. Tell the person who did it to be careful and not let Concubine Xian see any flaws."
"Yes, your majesty, please rest assured that I will handle this matter properly."
"Go down, I won't leave until everyone is here."
"yes."
In Chengqian Palace, Qianlong fell into deep thought as he looked at Mu Sili who was reluctant to get out of bed. He had agreed to go to Changchun Palace to pay his respects, but now she was still lying in bed. Was that appropriate?
"How about not going to pay respects today?"
"How can that be? If I don't go today, I'm afraid some people will think that I was just impulsive yesterday and will return to my old, gullible image.
I have already decided to change myself, so how can I leave them with the impression that I am still vulnerable? Your Majesty should think about how to cover for me later.
Sometimes I really feel that kind people are often bullied and kind dogs are often ridden. Look, I had an outburst yesterday and even suppressed the Empress Dowager.
Just wait and see, the Queen Mother will not trouble me today. Not only that, she will also treat me with caution because I discovered her secret."
Mu Sili still decided to tell Qianlong about Li Jingui. After all, she was his biological mother. The Empress Dowager had humiliated her, so she wanted to make her live in fear.
"The Queen Mother's secret? What secret could you possibly uncover? You're not deliberately spreading rumors just because the Queen Mother bullied you, are you?"
"You think too highly of me. Am I that kind of person? Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the name Li Jingui?"
Li Jingui? This wasn't the first time Qianlong had heard of this name. When he was little, he had heard Su Peisheng mention him, but he only knew him as a pitiful person.
Now when he heard the name again, he felt that it was related to himself, but he had never seen this person, so how could he be related to him?
"I've heard a little bit about it. Su Peisheng mentioned it once, but I didn't take it seriously."
"Hmm? You've heard of it? That's right, I had forgotten that Eunuch Su once said that the Emperor favored a palace maid when he was in the palace.
That maid was unlucky. Because of her ugly appearance, she was disliked by the emperor and had to stay in the palace all her life. Alas!
"Why do I feel like you're acting strangely today? Could this palace maid be related to you?"
"That's not the case. I've never seen her before. I just suddenly remembered the name. Some things don't make sense without careful consideration. Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart."
Although she said so, Mu Sili's real purpose was to make Qianlong interested in Li Jingui.
Now that I'm interested, I'll investigate her true identity. The Queen Mother can be quite annoying sometimes, so it's time to make her nervous.
