"Congratulations, Concubine. I didn't expect you to become a concubine so soon. It shows that the Emperor and His Highness are very satisfied with you. It would be great if you could give birth to a prince this time."
"Yes, Cuizhu, since I have become the concubine of Yuqing Palace, does that mean I can do whatever I want?"
Cuizhu didn't know what she meant, but that didn't stop her from agreeing with her.
"What the concubine said is true. The Crown Princess hasn't entered the palace yet. You are the most powerful person in the entire Yuqing Palace besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, you can do whatever you want."
With Cuizhu's approval, Mu Sili was ready to take action against Ling Ma. She had punished her with a slap in the face before and had originally planned to deal with her at that time, but she didn't expect that Xiaozhuang liked her too much, so she delayed it.
Now that she has become the prince's concubine, it is time to deal with her. Although she can guarantee that the prince will not be provoked by her again, it is always not good to leave trouble in Yuqing Palace.
It was pretty much as she thought. Nanny Ling was still holding a grudge against her for punishing her for being disobedient. Now that she heard that she had become a concubine, her hatred for her was even stronger.
If I had completely controlled her before, she would now be the one who could control the future young master. The more I think about it, the more resentful I feel.
"You are truly blessed to be a concubine. Empress Dowager Huang has just passed away. Even though you are pregnant, it would be unreasonable for you not to attend the wake. You should hurry to the Cining Palace to attend the wake, and don't let people gossip about our Yuqing Palace."
Perhaps because she felt uncomfortable and wanted to show her superiority in front of Mu Sili, Nanny Ling came to Yunxia Palace without Mu Sili's consent.
"Madam, what do you mean by this? Someone who doesn't know would probably think you are the master of Yuqing Palace. What? Have you forgotten the lesson I taught you before?"
Nanny Ling suddenly became a little irritable. She was the prince's wet nurse and had been taking care of him since he was born. How dare she treat her like that?
If the Empress Dowager had not suddenly fallen ill that day and had not had the chance to see the Crown Prince since then, she would have reported her wrongdoings long ago. How could she have given her the chance to become the Crown Prince's concubine?
Not only that, she was pregnant, which really hurt her heart. In her opinion, Mu Sili should respect her, so how could she do such a rebellious thing?
"It seems that Concubine is truly forgetful. You didn't remember a single word I told you before. You probably forgot that although I am just a nanny, I am the Crown Prince's wet nurse.
The Crown Prince was raised on my milk. I have experience in serving him, and I cannot compare to you, a concubine. So what if you become a concubine?"
"Madam, you are really overconfident. Otherwise, why would you say such words to me? In the past, I was just a princess, yet you dared to touch you. Now, I am a concubine."
Ling Ma looked at her with an unpleasant expression. Could it be that she was really going to snatch her power away? How could this be possible? Ever since the Crown Prince came to Yuqing Palace, she had always been in charge of the affairs of Yuqing Palace.
Even if there is a concubine now, the prince trusts her. She is the actual person in charge of Yuqing Palace, and the prince has to listen to her.
"My concubine, you are joking. You don't have the final say in Yuqing Palace. Since I was in charge of Yuqing Palace before and you are pregnant, you should stop worrying about these matters.
The Emperor appointed you as a concubine for the sake of the Crown Prince and the child in your womb. You'd better take care of your pregnancy, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences if anything happens to the young master.
As for Yuqing Palace, you don't have to worry about it. This old servant will take good care of it. It won't change just because you become the Crown Prince's concubine."
"Madam Ling, do you think I'm easy to bully? If you don't give me an explanation today, twenty slaps won't solve the problem.
Do you know why His Highness didn't hold me accountable when I punished you? Besides the Empress Dowager, His Highness also felt that you, as a servant, had overstepped your bounds.
Your Highness has said that a servant should behave like a servant. If you don’t even behave like a servant, then you’d better not serve in Yuqing Palace, otherwise others will say something about Your Highness.
Today, I, the concubine, will tell you a truth. If you dare to do the master's business in front of the master, you must be prepared to be punished. Come, take him away and give him twenty lashes of the cane.
Madam Ling, please remember this for me. If the funeral of the Grand Empress Dowager had not been completed and His Highness had not yet observed mourning, you would have died today.
You'd better learn this lesson, or you won't be so lucky next time. Do you think Ling Pu can save you? To be frank, he was able to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Internal Affairs thanks to Your Highness. "
Mu Sili didn't explain it too clearly. Nanny Ling and Ling Pu knew very well that they had done many evil things behind the prince's back over the years by relying on his favor. Therefore, after hearing her mention this, Nanny Ling didn't dare to speak.
It would be fine if she was punished herself, but if she implicated Ling Pu and her family, she would probably be divorced. Even though she was the prince's wet nurse, if she dared to offend the prince's favorite concubine, they would not be able to protect her.
"It's my fault for saying such things in front of the concubine. She's right to be angry, but it's not appropriate for her to bleed while she's pregnant. I didn't do it on purpose. How about we just let it go and accumulate blessings for your child?"
"Mammy, you're really funny. How do you think I'll let you go after provoking you? As you said, it's not appropriate to shed blood now, but that doesn't stop me from punishing you.
If I don't punish you today, someone will surely follow suit. How will I survive in Yuqing Palace then, and how will I explain this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Nanny Ling looked at Mu Sili with an ugly expression. She would remember today's humiliation and would definitely complain to the prince when he returned.
She just didn't believe that she had taken care of her for nearly twenty years but was still not as good as Mu Sili, who had only just entered the palace. When the time came, she would make her pay for her actions today.
"It seems that Madam has realized she is wrong. If that's the case, why are you still standing there? Take her away."
"yes."
Soon, Ling Ma's heart-wrenching voice could be heard from outside. She hated Mu Sili and wished she would die. Were those servants blind? They actually dared to hit her!
Mu Sili didn't take her curse to heart at all. What she had to do now was to take good care of the fetus and give birth to a pair of healthy twins, a boy and a girl, for the prince.
In Yunfang Palace, Liu Gege swallowed unconsciously. She was jealous of Mu Sili for becoming a concubine and being pregnant. After all, they had the same status before, and she didn't expect that she would become a concubine in just two months.
She had wanted to go to Yunxia Palace to ridicule her under the pretext of congratulations, but now she didn't dare. She was always timid in front of Nanny Ling, so how could she dare to challenge her?
