Kangxi's eyes lit up, and he said that he felt something was missing. It turned out that Mu Sili was missing. As expected, habit is a terrible thing. Once you get used to it, you can't quit it.
He was not like this before. He was very rational and knew what he should and should not do. But since he married Mu Sili, he has changed completely.
He always thought that he was a heartless person who would not care about anyone, but he didn't expect that after having her, he learned to care.
They say a day without seeing someone feels like three years. He hadn't seen Mu Sili for several hours, which meant he hadn't seen her for several months. No wonder he missed her.
"Just do as you say. I'm worried about her living alone in such a huge palace. Send someone to tell them I'll be there for dinner later."
"yes."
The concubines in the harem were originally resentful because Mu Sili had been living in the Qianqing Palace. They thought she would move there directly after the Yonghe Palace was completed, but they did not expect that Kangxi would let her stay in the Qianqing Palace for another week.
Now they finally heard the news that she had moved to Yonghe Palace. Before they could go to Kangxi to show their courtesy, they heard that Kangxi was going to stay overnight at Yonghe Palace.
Since she was favored by the emperor, Kangxi has never visited other people's palaces to visit other concubines. Several concubines who originally looked down on this matter could no longer sit still.
"The Emperor has been doting on Concubine Ding for quite some time now, but it seems like he still hasn't had enough. What's so good about her that he keeps thinking about her again and again?"
"That's right, this can be considered exclusive favor. If he's the only one favored in the harem, then what should we do?"
"We still have to go to the Empress to make the decision on this matter. The affairs of the harem are under the control of the Empress. Instead of getting angry here, why not let the Empress take action?"
"That's right. The Emperor respects the Empress. As long as the Empress opens her mouth, the Emperor will definitely listen to her and treat her equally."
With this idea in mind, everyone headed towards Kunning Palace. As the master of the harem, the queen should help them solve their problems, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public.
Inside Kunning Palace, the queen looked at them with a worried look on her face, as if she was very troubled by their words.
"Your Highness, I'm not saying that the Emperor cannot stay in other people's palaces. There is only one Emperor, and there are so many of us sisters, there is not enough to go around. Now the Emperor is being monopolized by the noble lady Ding. If this continues, the harem will be in chaos."
"That's right. Lady Ding is a new noblewoman. It's okay for the Emperor to favor her for a few more days. After all, we've all been through this, and we don't have any intention of not wanting her to be favored. But it's been so long, isn't it enough?"
"Your Highness, you are the Empress of the Central Palace. You have never had such a long time in the past. She is just a noble lady. Why does she have the right to dominate the Emperor for such a long time?
Yonghe Palace is a large palace that cannot be compared with any small palace. The emperor has shown great favor by letting her live in it, but she actually moved directly into the main hall. Isn't this treating herself as the master of a palace?
When I was still a noble, I didn't dare to dream of the position of the main palace. Her actions will only make outsiders think that the palace rules are lax and that you are incompetent in discipline."
The Queen originally needed an excuse to cause trouble for Mu Sili. Since they had already found an excuse for her, it would be a shame if she didn't do something.
"I understand this, but since the Emperor likes it, I can't say anything. But you can't keep the Emperor, so what's the point of coming to me?
If you have the ability, you should take the initiative to go to the Ganqing Palace to talk to the emperor about this matter. Now you come to me for advice, just because you can't stand the fact that the noble man Ding is in favor.
Sometimes I wonder if it were you, wouldn't you all be eager for the Emperor to stay in your own palace so that you could have the Emperor's favor all to yourself in the harem? "
The queen's words made the group of people who were filled with righteous indignation blush. Since they had entered the palace, they naturally hoped to be favored by Kangxi. Otherwise, why did they enter the palace to watch others gain favor?
"Your Majesty, that's not what we meant. We just think that Consort Ding's favor is a bit excessive. Even as the Empress, you haven't been as domineering as she is. She is indeed a bit arrogant because of her favor."
"That's right, if everyone else was like her, the harem would really be in chaos. But her position is not low, and the concubines want to talk to her, but we are afraid that she will report it to the emperor, so we ask you to intervene."
Although Concubine Tong felt that Mu Sili's favor was a bit too much, she didn't intend to plot against her with them. After all, everyone had been through this, so how could she be jealous just because others were more favored than them?
But she has to think carefully now. She is so favored that the queen will definitely take action against her. If she takes the initiative to recruit her and let her become a member of Chengqian Palace, then will her offspring also be considered hers?
Concubine Tong originally wanted to find someone to help her consolidate her favor, but she later thought that it was unlikely. If an ungrateful person turned out, all her efforts would be in vain.
In addition, the incident that Uyama had caused in Chengqian Palace made her feel that it was unrealistic to find someone to consolidate her favor, and she still had to find an ally.
She and the Queen don't get along. If she can form an alliance with Mu Sili, then she will have status, favor, and children. Wouldn't the palace be theirs?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, and this smile happened to be seen by the Queen, who was very upset. She was already the Queen, and Concubine Tong could still influence her. Sure enough, they were born enemies.
"What does Imperial Concubine Tong think? You are the most favored person in this palace. Has your favor been affected? If so, why don't you go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? It's the Emperor's business who he wants to favor. If I really go to the Qing Palace and cause a scene, my favor will end.
I am already in a high position, so it doesn't matter if I am not favored. The position of crown prince has already been decided. Even if I am favored and give birth to a prince, it will still be the same as before.
If I had that much free time, I would rather see the imperial physician and recuperate. I have no other requests, as long as the harem is peaceful and Concubine Ding is successful and gives birth to more princes for the emperor.
The queen frowned. Why did she feel like Concubine Tong was saying that she couldn't give birth to a child, let alone the position of crown prince?
She was already the queen, so what was wrong with wanting a legitimate son? Only her own son was worthy of trust and support. To her, others were illegitimate sons and not worthy of attention.
Even if the prince is the legitimate son of Empress Yuan, a child without the protection of his mother is not worthy of her attention. When she has a prince, it will be the time when the prince dies, and she will not be able to bother with him.
"If you say that, I can't help it. Well, I am the Queen, and the affairs of the harem are under my jurisdiction. I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. As for what the Emperor will decide, I have no right to interfere."
