After another quarter of an hour, Concubine Tong reluctantly handed Xiao Si to Siyue.
"I will personally organize Xiao Si's full moon banquet. You should take good care of yourself during this period. Don't worry about anything else. The Emperor has promised to preside over your consort ceremony, so you must stay in good shape."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."
"It's not hard. What's so hard about it? I'm very happy."
Outside the palace, the Wanliuha clan had already checked themselves. They were lucky. Because they had not been taken seriously before, they had never thought about the things made inside the palace. Therefore, there was nothing beyond their control in the mansion.
"You have all seen the lesson the Wuya clan has learned this time. Your Majesty has just given birth to a prince. Whether our Wanliuha clan can rise to prominence overnight depends on whether the Emperor values Your Majesty.
Listen carefully, Your Majesty has had a difficult life. Now that the Emperor dotes on you and you have children, you are fortunate that your family has not been implicated in this incident. You must not take any chances."
"Don't worry, Patriarch. We know what's going on."
Soon it was Yinlu's full moon banquet. Kangxi was very happy, and so was Xiaozhuang. The child looked like her, and she was looking forward to his future achievements.
At the full moon banquet, Kangxi announced Yinlu's name and held a concubine-making ceremony for Mu Sili. Concubine Tong stood up to speak for her at the right time. Kangxi's eyes lit up and he was still thinking about how to find a reason to promote her, but he didn't expect Concubine Tong to bring it up on her own initiative.
"I absolutely believe what the Imperial Concubine said is true. Concubine Ding has contributed greatly to the birth of a son, and now she is the head of a palace. It is indeed time for her to be promoted to a higher position. I do not allow bannermen to exist among my concubines. Come, raise the Wan Liuha clan to the Manchu Zhenghong Banner, and raise Concubine Ding's branch to the Zhenghuang Banner."
When Kangxi's decree came out, Concubine Yi was dumbfounded. She was also a concubine who came to power from the bannerman family. She had also been promoted to a high position, but the only branch she promoted was her own. Why could Mu Sili promote the entire family?
But she couldn't say a word of rebuttal. Kangxi did not allow anyone to refute his decision, so she could only watch Mu Sili become the envy of the world.
And Concubine Tong, she is a fool, isn't she? Mu Sili's favor will sooner or later surpass hers, isn't she afraid that she will step on her head?
Concubine Tong didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have refuted it immediately. She was hoping that Mu Sili would take the throne so that she could realize her dream of traveling far away sooner. She was really tired of staying in the palace.
After the full moon banquet, Mu Sili became the object of flattery inside and outside the palace, but she was only good to Concubine Tong, and Kangxi still only favored her as before, which led to rumors in the palace that she was going to become the queen.
This rumor did not hurt her at all. Kangxi did not believe that she had such thoughts, and even Xiaozhuang was the same. After all, if she really had such thoughts, they would be more than happy to do so. How could they blame her?
However, it is surprising that no one went to Kangxi to complain about such rumors when they were spread in the palace. If anyone said something bad, he would naturally support their rumors. It's a pity that no one dared to go.
"It's a little inappropriate for Concubine Tong to manage the six palaces as a concubine. Since there haven't been any happy events in the palace for a long time, let's take this opportunity to confer titles on the six palaces."
When Concubine Tong received the decree that she would be named Imperial Noble Concubine, she was completely stunned. It turned out that the best way to survive and advance in the palace was to turn a blind eye!
I understand. No matter whether she has the chance to become the queen in the future, she has to maintain the status quo. Mu Sili is her lucky star, and she must be friends with her for the rest of her life!
Although Huipin, Rongpin and others attacked Empress Hesheli, causing her early death, they had their reasons for doing so. Moreover, the person was already dead, and they gave birth to children. Even for the sake of the children, he would not do anything to them.
It is said that there is a cause for every effect, so let's just assume that it was Empress Hesheli's own fault. So, several of them were made concubines, and some were promoted to concubines or noble ladies. Mu Sili, who had always been on their minds, was directly promoted to noble concubine.
They had anticipated this result long ago, so there was nothing unexpected about it. However, they still couldn't help but envy her. After all, she had been favored by the emperor.
From the very beginning, she was always favored by Kangxi, which was beyond their reach.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yinlu will become the crown prince. Thinking of this, they feel as if they have discovered the truth behind Yinreng's dethronement, all for Mu Sili and her son.
Not to mention them, even the Hesheli clan thought so, so Soetu began to use all his connections to teach Yinreng to recognize this fact, but Yinreng somehow became very close to Mu Sili, which disrupted their plans.
It was unexpected that Yinreng suddenly became close to Mu Sili. After all, he was the legitimate son and logically should not like concubine mothers like them. However, he just liked to get along with her and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother.
It was not until one day when Mu Sili heard his whispers that she understood why he was willing to be close to her. She almost choked herself to death.
"Fourth brother, how come you are just a younger brother? Even at her age, the old ancestor can tell that she was absolutely stunning when she was young. You look so much like her, and people will say you are a woman in the future.
Alas, it’s a pity that your mother doesn’t know that you look so much like the ancestor, otherwise she would definitely be shocked. But don’t worry, even if you look like a woman, your second brother will not despise you.
But the Emperor probably doesn't like a son with a feminine appearance. You have to work hard. If you don't, the Emperor will dislike you. I have only been close to a woman like your mother since I was a child. You can't let her lose face.
I have decided that in order to get rid of the effeminate nature of your family, when you are older, I will take you to ride horses and shoot arrows. Although I am only a novice at the moment, I will definitely cultivate a heroic spirit in you so that no one will say you are like a effeminate person.
"April, Second Prince has been coming here so often lately, is it just to nag about these things?"
"I don't know either. I only know that the Fourth Prince likes to spend time with the Second Prince more and more, and the Second Prince really loves the Fourth Prince, so he didn't stop them from spending time together."
April answered Mu Sili's question with a bitter face. She didn't expect Yinreng to say such a thing. Yinlu was a little good-looking, but he was really just a little good-looking. He would not be mistaken for a woman.
But she couldn't say this, so she could only look at Mu Sili miserably, hoping that she could understand her thoughts.
"Never mind. Their deep brotherly love is quite good. I can't stop them from getting along. I just hope that Xiao Si will know that Second Prince said this to him and won't be estranged from him."
