"I know what I'm doing. I'm just favoring Concubine Ding. Is that unbearable? Tell them, if I find out that they're plotting against Concubine Ding, I'll make them pay.
Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back. I am busy here and don’t want to listen to the gossips of the concubines in the harem. It’s not worth it to upset people.”
The Queen didn't expect that he would value Mu Sili so much. She must have made it very clear that if he continued to favor her, there would be problems. Wasn't Kangxi afraid that she would be harmed by others?
Or did he do this on purpose to show off to others, in order to protect someone?
Yes, that must be the case. Mu Sili has been serving in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for more than a year, and I have never heard of her being favored before. How could she be favored overnight?
Kangxi must have wanted to use her to attract their attention and protect the one he truly cared about. Who could this person be? Concubine Tong?
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is about to continue reviewing the memorials. If you have nothing else to do, please return to Kunning Palace."
Seeing that the queen was immersed in her own thoughts, Liang Jiugong silently stepped forward and reminded her to leave. If she didn't leave, Kangxi would be unhappy.
The queen came to her senses and realized that Kangxi didn't like her at the moment, so she quickly took her leave.
It seems that her previous decision has to be implemented as soon as possible. Regardless of whether Kangxi really dotes on Mu Sili, judging from his current attitude, she will not be able to sit firmly on the position of queen if she does not have a legitimate son.
It's a pity that she didn't find out who Kangxi really wanted to protect during this trip. But it doesn't matter. She has plenty of time to find out. When she finds out who the other person is, she will definitely get rid of her as soon as possible.
Now that the position of queen is in her hands, it can only be hers. Hesheli lost, and Concubine Tong also lost. She will be the ultimate winner all the way to the end.
She didn't want to go back to Kunning Palace at this moment as it was too deserted, so she led people to the Imperial Garden. She heard that several flowers had bloomed recently, so it was a good opportunity to enjoy the scenery.
"Slut, what are you doing? The Queen came here to admire the flowers, and you actually pruned them. What are you going to let the Queen look at later?"
Just as the queen was about to appreciate the flowers, she heard a scolding voice not far ahead. She looked over in confusion and saw a nanny scolding Uyama.
The moment she saw Uyama, she suddenly felt that it was a good choice to let such a woman help her consolidate her favor. Her pitiful look was really heartbreaking. If Kangxi saw it, he would definitely be unable to control himself, right?
But this person doesn't look like a flower slave, so why is he pruning flowers here?
"What's going on?"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Upon receiving the news that you were coming to enjoy the flowers, I came over to check. Who would have thought that this palace maid was actually pruning the branches?
These flowers have only bloomed in the past two days. I had already arranged for the greenhouse staff to trim them yesterday, but who would have thought she would come and trim them again."
While saying this, the nanny glared at Uyama, scaring her so much that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. This servant did not mean to do anything. I just thought those branches were a bit annoying and would affect your enjoyment of the flowers, so I wanted to trim them.
If you don't believe me, you can have someone check it out. I'm just a little palace maid, how dare I lie? Please, Your Majesty, please be fair and give me justice."
The queen had to admit that she felt sorry for Uyama's pitiful appearance. If she were a man, she would definitely hold her in her arms and comfort her at the first moment.
"Since you said you trimmed the branches just to please me, I will send someone to take a look. If it's really as you said, I will forgive you.
But if what you said just now was just to excuse yourself, then don't blame me for punishing you. The flowers in the Imperial Garden are all famous flowers, and you can't treat them badly."
"I know. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a chance to prove my innocence. I am deeply grateful."
There was a gleam in the queen's eyes. It was enough to be grateful. What she wanted was the look of gratitude in tears.
"Go and see if it's as she said."
"yes."
A palace maid walked out from behind the queen. She quickly glanced at the place where Uyama had stood before. As she said, some places were not very exquisite.
"My lady, it's just as she said."
The queen was satisfied. It was obvious that this palace maid was easy to control. In that case, she would help her ascend to the throne, but she still had to raise her child.
Only by holding her child in her hands will she give her favor and secure her position as queen.
"If it's true, then get up. I like you. Go to Kunning Palace and serve her. Bring her with you when you return to the palace."
"yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I will serve you well."
Uyama knew that her plan had succeeded. As long as the queen was willing, she could serve Kangxi on her behalf at any time. As long as she was favored, she would definitely make Mu Sili look bad.
The news here soon reached Yonghe Palace. Mu Sili laughed sarcastically. Concubine Tong didn't want her, Uya, but she was a capable woman and actually switched to the queen's name.
The Queen is not like Concubine Tong. If she really had the chance to be favored and conceive a child, her fate would definitely not be as simple as giving the child to the Queen to raise while she continues to serve Kangxi.
If nothing unexpected happens, the queen will kill the mother and keep the child. After all, the child only has one mother. If the child has two mothers, and the biological mother is the favored one, won't the child who is ungrateful be raised in the future?
"April, go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. If the Emperor doesn't come, I'll have to eat by myself. I've been working hard all day and I'm exhausted."
"Yes, my lady, don't worry, I will go and take a look."
April walked very quickly and came back in just half an hour. Her face was full of joy because Liang Jiugong told her that Kangxi would be here in half an hour at most.
"My lady, I will go and serve the meal first. Eunuch Liang said that the emperor will be here soon, so please prepare it and don't be disrespectful."
Mu Sili curled her lips and didn't take it seriously. She had lived in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for so long, but she had never heard Kangxi ask her to observe any etiquette. It was only the first day she moved into the Yonghe Palace, and he asked her to observe etiquette?
She had reason to suspect that this was Liang Jiugong's own idea. If she really treated Kangxi with the attitude of those people in the harem, Kangxi would definitely treat her less well than before.
"I understand. The Emperor won't care about this. Hurry up and serve the meal. Otherwise, the Emperor will come and blame me if the meal is not served yet."
"I understand."
April had experienced Kangxi's anger before, so she didn't want to face his cold face.
