Kangxi originally thought that Mu Sili would wait for him obediently at the gate of Yonghe Palace, but he didn't expect that he had already entered the gate of Yonghe Palace and still hadn't seen her.
He rolled his eyes unconsciously. It was really a waste of expectations. He thought she would become more well-behaved after leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but he didn't expect her to be still the same.
Forget it, it's all because of him. As long as she follows the rules when paying respects in Kunning Palace, he can't expect anything else.
"Is the Emperor here? I pay my respects to His Majesty. You are a little late. I have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come soon, I will prepare to eat by myself."
"So I'm not tired, am I? You know how many memorials the previous dynasty had to go through. It's already very good of me to finish reviewing them and come back to have dinner with you at this time. Wan Liuha, don't let your favor lead you to pampering."
After hearing this sentence, Liang Jiugong couldn't help shaking his body, and kept praying in his heart that Kangxi would not be angry.
If she were to be angered and run away as soon as she arrived, he could guarantee that within an hour, the news that Concubine Ding had fallen out of favor would spread throughout the entire harem.
"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I become spoiled by your favor? I only act like this in front of you. If it were anyone else, they would definitely praise my good manners."
Kangxi looked at Mu Sili with disdain as she spoke to him with her head held high. Where did she get the confidence to say that she had the best rules?
To put it bluntly, before he got lucky with her, that was her behavior. If she hadn't been pretty, he wouldn't have kept her to serve in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Hmm? Kangxi suddenly came to his senses. Why hadn't he thought of favoring her before? What had happened that day? Seeing that she looked a little sick, he actually summoned her to favor her. When did he become so desperate?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Mu Sili who seduced him, otherwise he would definitely remain calm. So he glared at her unhappily, then walked towards the dining table.
"I'm hungry, hurry up and have dinner with me."
Liang Jiugong was speechless and asked the heavens, how could he have calmed down so easily when he looked so furious just now? He was so scared!
Since Mu Sili moved to Yonghe Palace, the concubines in the harem thought that the Queen's words would make Kangxi restore his previous equal attitude. Unexpectedly, Kangxi not only did not restore his attitude, but also only ran to Yonghe Palace.
In the past, they would stay overnight in Kunning Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, but now they just go there to have a meal and then go back to Qianqing Palace, which makes the concubines even more unhappy.
In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong had a mocking look on her face. She knew that the queen was useless. If she had said this, it might have had some effect, but now, all she could say was that the queen was just the queen.
"Your Majesty, are you just going to watch Consort Ding gain favor? This favor has already surpassed yours. Not to mention the people in other palaces, the Emperor doesn't even come to our Chengqian Palace. If you don't make a plan, I'm afraid you will also fall out of favor."
Only then did Concubine Tong realize that she was so busy laughing at others that she forgot that she herself was no longer in the emperor's favor. For a moment, she was conflicted.
"I am still a noble concubine after all. If I compete with them for favor, won't the emperor look down on me? My goal is not just to be a noble concubine. If the emperor has a problem with me, what else can I pursue?"
"But you are now the same as the other concubines. The Emperor doesn't even come to Chengqian Palace anymore. You have no chance to climb up the ladder even if you want to."
Concubine Tong choked. Was he really going to hit her like that? Of course she knew Kangxi wasn't coming to Chengqian Palace anymore. There was nothing she could do about it, since Mu Sili was his favorite.
Besides, she is ready to form an alliance with others to deal with the queen. Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to try to steal their favor at this time?
Otherwise, it would be better to do the same as before. She could fight for favor or something. Anyway, she couldn't have children with her broken body and she didn't know how many years she could live. As long as she could make the queen unhappy, it would be enough.
"It doesn't matter. This palace and she will become allies. Her favor is the same as mine. As long as the emperor has her in his heart, he will remember this palace as his concubine. This palace's position will remain stable.
But it is different for the Empress. After all, the Empress is the master of the six palaces. If the Emperor can stick to not staying overnight in Kunning Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the month, then I will be fine even if I lose favor there.
The Queen wants to give birth to a prince to seize the Crown Prince's position, but it also depends on whether she has the chance to give birth to a prince. I heard that she took the maid back from the Imperial Garden a few days ago. Have you heard any news?"
Compared with Mu Sili's favor, Concubine Tong was more concerned about Uyama Lun's affairs. Based on her understanding of the queen, the queen must want the other party to be favored.
After all, it was she who brought him into Kunning. As long as Kangxi favored her, she would be grateful to her and would sincerely become her disciple.
If she becomes pregnant again, the queen will definitely take action against the prince after confirming that she is carrying a prince. The prince is only three years old now. If he is really harmed by the queen, Kangxi will be furious.
After all, he grew up under her care, and she couldn't let him be harmed by anyone, let alone by the Queen.
"Send more people to watch over the Crown Prince. He is still young, and the Emperor values him very much. We cannot allow him to be bullied by those below him."
"I know that Your Majesty is kind-hearted. Even though the prince is not your child, you are willing to take care of him secretly. If the Emperor knew, he would definitely think that you are more suitable for the position of Queen.
As for the one the Empress brought back to Kunning Palace, I heard the Empress has been looking for someone to teach her the etiquette of serving others, and she is studying diligently. If nothing unexpected happens, Kunning Palace will soon invite the Emperor."
Concubine Tong was not a fool. She knew what inviting Kangxi meant. It was simply that the Queen felt that the person had been trained enough and could be used, so she introduced him to Kangxi.
It’s just a pity that the queen miscalculated. How could Kangxi possibly like someone she even looked down upon?
She also heard that this person and Mu Sili were sisters, and before she was favored by the emperor, this person wanted to serve in the Palace of Heavenly Purity on her behalf.
If she had entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity at that time, she might have become the noble lady today. The queen really had a good plan.
The sisters of the past have all become concubines in the harem, so will the sisterhood between them still be pure?
No, what sisterhood are we talking about? Judging from the current situation, they are already as hostile as water and fire. The queen is really calculating.
"Yonghe Palace is close, so I won't let Concubine Ding go there. I can go over and see her. Let's go."
In Yonghe Palace, Mu Sili was surprised by the sudden arrival of the Imperial Concubine. As the Imperial Concubine wanted to see her, she could have summoned her over, but she didn't expect that she would come by herself.
