"Hmm? Isn't today the fifteenth? According to the rules, you have to go to Changchun Palace to accompany the Queen. It would be reasonable for you not to come. But since you said so, I will not let you go to Changchun Palace."
"Oh? Then you must be obedient?"
"In order for His Majesty to stay overnight at Chengqian Palace, I can only temporarily stop eating this food. When His Majesty stops coming to Chengqian Palace, I will put it on the table again."
Qianlong simply reached out and tapped her forehead. This was really a double-deal. If he didn't come to Chengqian Palace, would she really eat those two dishes again?
"I think you've been talking too much today, so I've already sent for the imperial physician. Please have your meal quickly, and afterward, let the imperial physician take your pulse."
"Take my pulse? This isn't the day to check my pulse. If I really let the imperial physician take my pulse, I'm afraid rumors will spread that I'm desperate to have a child."
"Isn't it?"
"Um...I do hope to give birth to a child for you as soon as possible, but my body is not doing well, and I am in a difficult situation."
Mu Sili's eyes were full of disappointment, which made Qianlong feel distressed. This was the person he loved deeply, how could he bear to make her sad?
"Don't worry, we are still young, we will definitely be able to get pregnant. Think about it, I love you so much, maybe you will announce the news of your pregnancy next month."
"Although I know that Your Majesty is trying to comfort me with these words, I still feel warmed. Your Majesty, don't worry. I have the feeling and I will be pregnant soon."
Qianlong gave a bitter smile. It was obvious that he was forcing a smile. He was the one who made her suffer.
"Yes, I am the true dragon emperor, and I will definitely make you pregnant with a child."
"Okay, I'll obey your Majesty. I'm fine now. Has the imperial physician arrived?"
"My lady, I'm already waiting outside."
"Let him in."
"yes."
After the imperial physician took Shuyan's pulse, he calmly said that there was nothing wrong with her body. Qianlong gave Li Yu a wink, and Li Yu led the imperial physician out.
A moment later, Li Yu came back with a smile on his face.
"It's almost time. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you ready to go to Changchun Palace?"
"It's too late to go there now. Since it's late, let's just go slowly."
"I'll do as you say. Let's go."
In Changchun Palace, the Queen had come out but Mu Sili still hadn't shown up. The concubines began to attack Mu Sili one after another.
"This Concubine Xian is taking herself too seriously. The Empress didn't even bother with her yesterday, yet she didn't even come to pay her respects today."
"Your Majesty, I feel that Concubine Xian has gone too far. It would be fine on a normal day, but today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Is she planning to keep the Emperor in Chengqian Palace all the time?"
"If she comes later, please punish her, Your Majesty. Otherwise, if everyone follows her example, how will you manage the Six Palaces?"
"Yes, my lady, you are too kind. You can't treat Concubine Xian the same way as before, otherwise we sisters will be bullied in the future.
In my opinion, it would be better to confine Concubine Xian to Chengqian Palace, so that she won't be obsessed with seducing the emperor all day long."
"I didn't realize that the sisters were so concerned about me. If this gets out, outsiders will think that the emperor's harem is very peaceful."
Mu Sili's voice suddenly came from outside the hall. The queen was the first to look outside the hall, and sure enough, Mu Sili was leaning there.
"You're a little late today. Come in."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I feel that I have come at the perfect time. If I had come earlier, I wouldn't have heard everyone's concern for me."
Care? Is she stupid? Who cares about her and yet she flatters herself?
"Empress Xian, don't you realize what time it is? The Empress has been out for quite some time and you're just here now. Are you trying to slap the Empress in the face?"
"Look at my memory. I even forgot that Concubine Chun is now raising two princes. People with princes by their side are different. They are more confident when they speak."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Concubine Chun, which made her very frightened.
Although the eldest prince was temporarily raised under her name, he was already grown up and could remember things, so she could never tame him no matter how hard she tried.
The Third Prince is her biological son. Now that Mu Sili has drawn everyone's attention to her, she is worried that her son will be harmed.
"Look at what your majesty is saying. Although the eldest prince is raised under my name, I dare not consider myself his mother.
I am just a concubine, I am just looking after the eldest prince. If you really want to talk about it, the Empress is the eldest prince's mother."
"It seems that Concubine Chun doesn't want to raise the eldest prince. Well, I will mention it to the emperor when I get back. Now that the eldest prince has grown up, he should be sent to the prince's residence."
"What...what do you mean?"
"Isn't what I mean simple? Don't you think that the eldest prince is too old to be tamed? Since you don't want to raise him, then let him go to the prince's place.
According to the rules, the eldest prince should have been sent to the abbey long ago. If you hadn't said you would raise him well, would the emperor have given him to you to raise?"
Concubine Chun was instantly speechless. She just thought that if she could give birth to another prince, Emperor Qianlong would definitely visit her palace more often, and then she could give birth to another child.
Unfortunately, although she got the woman, Qianlong's favor for her remained unchanged. He mostly went to see her children, and as for sleeping with her, it was very rare.
Sometimes she couldn't help but suspect that this result was caused by her raising the eldest prince. If possible, she would like to send the eldest prince away.
"Except for the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, everyone else here has a lower rank than me. I'd like to ask you, who gave you the courage to gossip?
I was tired from serving the Emperor yesterday. What's wrong with coming a little late? I will apologize to the Empress myself. What does it have to do with you?
Do you guys really think that I'm easy to bully because I endured it all those years ago? If you want me to be unhappy, I'll make you unhappy first.
Your Majesty, you know best what the crime of insubordination is. I don’t ask for too much. Just let them keep Concubine Jia company.
I imagine the scene of them learning etiquette together must be extremely spectacular. I will go and take a look when I have time. What do you think of my suggestion?"
When Mu Sili said this, she glanced at Concubine Gao, who was so scared that she immediately lowered her head to play with the silk handkerchief in her hand.
It's so scary, this woman is definitely possessed by a ghost. No, she still likes the easy-to-bully Concubine Xian from before!
I don’t know what my father said. Can this person be found as soon as possible? If not, something bad will happen in the palace.
She was now very glad that she was a noble concubine and not a concubine lower than Mu Sili, otherwise she would have been among those punished to learn the rules today.
