When these words came out, Huipin frowned, because she thought of Yinzhi. He was sent to be raised outside the palace as soon as he was born. If it weren't for her being made a concubine, he would probably still be being raised outside the palace.
"Sister Yipin has been talking too much today. The Imperial Noble Consort should be here soon. She should pay her respects first."
After all, Huipin gave birth to the eldest prince Yinzhi. Even if Yipin was dissatisfied in her heart, she did not dare to be mean to her.
"Since Sister Huipin has said so, I will not argue with you. As I said before, cherish the present day."
Mu Sili was not panicked at all. She was sure that Kangxi would never give her child to the Imperial Noble Consort to raise.
"The Imperial Concubine has arrived."
"I, your concubines, pay my respects to the Empress."
"Everyone, get up. I overslept today and made you wait for quite some time. I deserve to be punished."
The Imperial Concubine said this, but her eyes were always looking in the direction of Mu Sili. She had been listening outside for a long time, and she also felt that Mu Sili was not in a good state today.
If it were in the past, she would not dare to speak to Concubine Yi like this. After all, Concubine Yi's favor was obvious to all, even if she was pregnant.
Not only that, Kangxi also gave the most magnificent Yiku Palace to Concubine Yi to live in. This shows that Concubine Yi had a high status in his heart.
But then again, it's better for her to be so public. It will make it easier for her to adopt her child when the time comes. It will be even better if she has an accident during childbirth.
Although palace rules stipulate that concubines below the rank of concubine cannot raise children themselves, they can visit their own children.
She was not a cruel person, but she felt uncomfortable when she thought about the child she raised having to call someone else "mother", especially since she used to be a servant in her palace.
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like this? Is it because my attire today is wrong?"
"No, I just feel that your temperament has improved a lot since you became pregnant. It seems that the baby in your belly is very lucky for you."
"It's not the child who brings prosperity to this concubine, but the Emperor and the Empress. If it weren't for the Empress' grace, this concubine wouldn't be where I am today. Your kindness is so great, and this concubine will never forget it."
The Imperial Concubine frowned. Why did she feel that the words were a bit bitter? Was she still asleep and had misheard?
Yipin wanted to say something to provoke the Imperial Noble Consort and have Mu Sili punished, but she didn't dare to do so after seeing Huipin's warning look.
If she wasn't pregnant, she would definitely say some sarcastic words, but now she could only bear it for now.
"Let's stop here today. All concubines above the rank of concubine will go with me to Shoukang Palace to pay respects, and Noble Lady Wuya will come with me."
"yes,"
After arriving at Shoukang Palace, Concubine Yi acted very nicely in front of the Empress Dowager, which made the Empress Dowager like her even more. However, she was also very concerned about the pregnant woman, Mu Sili, after all, she was pregnant with the royal heir.
"I have lived in Ningshou Palace for many years. Although I don't care about what happens outside, I do know some things. Noble Lady Wuya, you are carrying the royal heir in your belly. You must protect him well, otherwise I will lose my temper."
"I will follow the Queen Mother's instructions and protect the child in my belly with my life."
"That's good, Imperial Concubine. After all, Concubine Wuya is from Chengqian Palace. Please take better care of her. I will make the Emperor remember your kindness."
The Empress Dowager knew what the Imperial Concubine was planning. She herself had no children, but she understood the pain of separation between mother and child, so she didn't want Mu Sili's child to be adopted by someone else.
In addition, when she saw Mu Sili today, she had a very subtle feeling that her baby had an extraordinary origin, so she wanted to stand on her side.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will take good care of Noble Lady Wuya. After all, the child in her belly is also the child of Chengqian Palace. How could I possibly treat her badly?"
This was the first time that the Imperial Concubine announced in public that the child in Mu Sili's belly would be a prince from Chengqian Palace, so everyone looked at Mu Sili differently.
Although she was only a noble lady, if the child was raised under the name of an imperial concubine, it would be much more noble than if it was raised under the name of a noble lady.
For a moment, they no longer wanted the imperial concubine to adopt the child, but because of their low status, it was difficult for them to ask for it.
"The Imperial Concubine should know that forcing things is not good. Okay, follow me to the Cining Palace to pay my respects. It's a little late today."
"yes."
The Imperial Noble Consort's face was obviously unhappy. The Queen Mother's words seemed to say that she was not worthy of adopting Mu Sili's child. She was unhappy.
But now that she had to pay her respects at the Cining Palace, she didn't need to worry too much. She had mentioned this matter to Kangxi many times anyway. Considering that she was his cousin, he would definitely agree to her request.
Besides, if Mu Sili can give birth to one, doesn't that mean she can have a second one? She's already so fertile, so what's wrong with giving her one?
When the child arrives at Chengqian Palace, she will strictly prevent him from knowing that his biological mother is her. He can only have one mother, and that is her, Tong Jia.
Of course, it would be better if she could die of hemorrhage like Hesheli. Then the child would have only her as a mother, and she could raise him with peace of mind.
The reason why she thought so was because she was worried that she would raise an ungrateful person. She hated ungrateful people the most, so how could she let her take advantage of them?
She felt unhappy when she thought that the son she had raised with all her heart would end up helping others. If she was unhappy, others would naturally not be happy either.
In the Cining Palace, Empress Xiaozhuang looked at Su Malagu in surprise. Did she just hear it wrong? Kangxi wanted to make Mu Sili a concubine after she gave birth. Isn't this nonsense?
Mu Sili had been a concubine for only seven or eight months. How could she rise from a mere palace maid to the position of the head of a palace? Was it because she could give birth?
But the baby in her belly hasn't been born yet, so how can they be sure that this baby will be a boy?
"Princess, what this servant said is true. The Emperor really thinks so. This noble lady Wu Ya is a wonderful person. The Emperor likes normality, but she is a little timid."
Su Malagu shook her head when she said this. She really felt that Mu Sili was too soft-hearted before, easily bullied and unable to protect her own children.
"I don't find anything special about her, but I'm really lucky. When she comes, I'll have to see if she's really timid."
Su Malagu felt that Empress Xiaozhuang was being petty, and she felt helpless. She was already so old, why was she still being petty?
When the empress dowager led the concubines in, Xiaozhuang's eyes tightened. She seemed to have seen a golden dragon entering Mu Sili's body just now!
"Su Ma, did you see that? The golden dragon entered my body!"
"I didn't see anything. Are you mistaken? There are no strange phenomena in broad daylight."
