"So I came to see her with such joy, and this is how she treats me? Liang Jiugong, didn't you tell her that I was coming?"
Kangxi was speechless. Anyone with a discerning eye would have known that he would come to see her after hearing the news, but she fell asleep first.
"Your Majesty, this is not the young lady's fault. She has said before that she has been a little sleepy lately. If she knew you said this about her, she would be sad."
April felt a little indignant for her young lady. Today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and according to the rules, Kangxi was supposed to stay in Kunning Palace for a day. Who would have thought that he would suddenly come to Yonghe Palace to visit Mu Sili?
It was all Liang Jiugong’s fault. If he had said before he left that he would invite Kangxi over, she would have stopped Mu Sili from falling asleep.
But it seemed there was no way to stop her. After all, if a pregnant woman felt sleepy, she would not dare to stop her from sleeping. If it was bad for the baby in her womb, she could not afford to compensate her.
"Your Majesty, what April said is true. The young lady did say that she has been sleepy lately. I did not expect that the young lady could actually fall asleep in such a short time. Otherwise, shall we return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
Kangxi felt a little aggrieved for a moment. This was his good servant. April would have been fine, as he had already given her to Mu Sili, but Liang Jiugong had always been serving him and even spoke for Mu Sili!
When did he, the emperor, become less important than Mu Sili in their eyes? This was unacceptable. He was the master, and it was time to establish his authority, otherwise they would not be able to distinguish between the big and small kings.
"When did I ever say I would blame Noble Lady Ding? You two slaves are really good. You know her temper. What if she takes it seriously?
Be more careful in what you say and do in the future. I am broad-minded and will not bother with you, but she is different. What if she thinks you haven't served her well and deliberately finds fault with her? Are you going to come and complain to me?
Although I may not necessarily listen to you, I will still listen to what she says. If she says she wants to punish you, I will definitely punish you. After all, she is pregnant with my child."
Liang Jiugong and Siyue rolled their eyes silently. What she said was so unreasonable. It was as if Mu Sili would not punish them if they did nothing.
If they were really blamed by her for this matter, it would be Kangxi's fault because he talked too much.
"Your Majesty is right. It was because Siyue and I didn't do a good enough job that you had such thoughts. Don't worry, I promise there will never be a next time."
"I know I was wrong, but the young lady has fallen asleep. Does Your Majesty still want to rest in Yonghe Palace? Or should I wake the young lady up and serve her?"
"No need to wake her up. It's obvious that she didn't get enough rest, so she fell asleep. If I really woke her up and you saw me here, wouldn't you think I did it on purpose?
You don't understand. She is a bit naive and holds grudges. It would be bad if she thinks that I am targeting her on purpose. I don't want to coax her late at night. It's very tiring.
I haven't eaten yet, so I've asked the kitchen to prepare some food. I'll be staying in Yonghe Palace soon."
"yes."
When Kangxi finished washing up and came to Mu Sili's bedroom, she had already woken up and was looking at him with a confused look.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong with me? I'm sleepy so late at night. How could I have seen Your Majesty? You should be in Kunning Palace right now. I'd better sleep a little longer or I'll be sleepy again."
Seeing that she had just woken up and was mumbling that she was dizzy and wanted to go back to sleep, Kangxi couldn't help but pull her out of bed.
"Open your eyes and look at who I am. How could I be so unreliable in your eyes that I could sleep peacefully in Kunning Palace even though I knew you were pregnant?
Don't you think about how long it has been since I last stayed in the harem since you became my favorite? I feel really wronged. If you don't explain it to me today, you won't be able to sleep. Anyway, I am quite energetic, but I don't know if you can hold on any longer."
After hearing Kangxi's somewhat resentful words, Mu Sili instantly became energetic. She stared at Kangxi with wide eyes, and after confirming again and again that he was a real person, she immediately threw herself into his arms.
"So it really is Your Majesty. I was just dreaming that you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect to see you the moment I opened my eyes. You can't blame me for misunderstanding, after all, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month!"
Kangxi didn't know what to say for a moment. What's wrong with today being the fifteenth? No one said that the fifteenth had to be spent in Kunning Palace, right?
Besides, he had already finished his meal with the Queen. Although he didn't eat a single bite, the meal had already been served, which meant he had accompanied her. Since he had already eaten, of course he had to come back.
Moreover, it is obvious that the Queen has bad intentions. If she stays in Kunning Palace all the time, won’t she be taken advantage of by the woman who dresses up gorgeously and seduces her secretly?
He is an emperor after all, how can he let anyone touch him at will? If he accepts anyone, what's the difference between him and a stud?
"Your Majesty, why are you silent? Do you regret coming to my Yonghe Palace? It's true. I heard that the Empress has prepared a beautiful woman waiting for you. It's normal that you don't want to come.
But why do I remember that the maid the Queen prepared was surnamed Uya? I had a close friend with the same surname, so I guess she and Uya have a conflict."
Mu Sili's words instantly perked up Kangxi. Broken sisters? As expected, the Queen had evil intentions in mind. Knowing that their relationship was bad, she deliberately pushed the maid out to serve her. Was she trying to let her compete with Mu Sili?
The food in Kunning Palace was not so delicious, and the queen was not as dignified and generous as she appeared to be. It was the first time he realized that the queen's acting skills were so good, so good that he believed it.
"You are pregnant, and I think it would be best for you to recuperate in Yonghe Palace. I will send someone to inform the Queen, so you don't have to pay your respects in the future.
The weather is getting colder. If something happens on the way to pay your respects, not only you will be hurt, but also my child. I don't want anything to happen to my child.
There has been no good news from the palace for a long time. I will send someone to tell the Queen Mother that you have been favored by the emperor but have not yet paid your respects to the Cining Palace. Tomorrow I will take you to pay your respects to the Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother is the most kindhearted and will definitely like you when she sees you. You should also work harder. If you can win the Queen Mother's favor, even the Queen will not dare to have bad thoughts towards you."
"Your Majesty, are you saying so much to protect me? I am very touched. Your Majesty, don't worry. I am the most popular with the elders. If the Empress Dowager sees me, she will definitely like me."
She has the aura of a charming woman. Kangxi fell in love with her at first sight, and the same goes for Xiaozhuang. Just as he said, Xiaozhuang is the number one person in the harem. She can feel much more relaxed if she can have her protection.
