"Concubine Rou is so arrogant. I am the Crown Princess married to His Highness. How dare she stop His Highness from coming to the main hall? Isn't this a slap in my face?
Today is the day when I and His Highness go to the Ganqing Palace to express gratitude. She deliberately invited the imperial physician. If the emperor thinks that I am incompatible with her, how can my position be stable?
No, I already gave in to her yesterday. If I don’t do something today, I’m afraid someone will think that she is the mistress of Yuqing Palace. I won’t allow that.
Someone, Concubine Rou deliberately harmed your Highness's offspring in order to win your favor. She is not worthy of being a mother. From today on, bring the eldest prince and the eldest brother to the main palace to be raised by me.
As for Concubine Rou's unborn child, I will wait until she gives birth and then bring him to the main courtyard. I will raise your Highness's children well and will never let them come to any harm."
"Crown Princess, you can't do that. The invitation to the imperial physician for Yunxia Palace today was personally ordered by His Highness. It has nothing to do with Concubine Rou. You haven't received the emperor's favor yet, so it would be inappropriate to offend Concubine Rou at this time.
Besides, the eldest prince and the eldest princess are not someone that ordinary people can snatch away. If what you just said gets out, His Highness will probably not go with you to the Qianqing Palace to express gratitude.
"I know you want a child, but you shouldn't be targeting Concubine Rou and her child. Your Highness hates it most when someone embarrasses Concubine Rou, so it's really inappropriate for you to do this."
Guaerjia was annoyed. It was too late to express gratitude at this time. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Mu Sili did it on purpose, otherwise why would she invite the imperial physician on such a day?
As the Crown Princess, even if the Crown Prince dislikes her, as long as Kangxi still recognizes her as his daughter-in-law, she can sit firmly on the position of Crown Princess. It seems that Mu Sili wants her to be disliked by Kangxi.
As long as she is disliked by Kangxi, her position will be unstable. In addition, the prince does not like her and she has no children. Sooner or later, she will lose her position as the crown princess. What Mu Sili is thinking about is the position of the crown princess.
She was very angry and naturally wanted to make things difficult for her. She planned to bring the twins to the main courtyard to raise them, but she would only raise them in name only because she didn't like them.
If she really doesn't have the chance to get pregnant in the future, she will raise the child in Mu Sili's belly into a puppet that only obeys her orders. As for the others, they must die.
The day when she completely controls the royal family will be the day when she ascends the throne as emperor. She will not allow herself to be bullied all the time. She wants to be the superior person.
“I am the Crown Princess appointed by the Emperor himself and the mistress of Yuqing Palace. No matter how favored Li is, she must bow down before me. I will raise her children as her husband and wife. How dare she refuse?
Hongxi and Galudai must call me their legitimate mother from the moment of my wedding. Since they are my illegitimate children, it is my duty to educate them.
Judging from Li's current behavior, if they were raised by her, they would definitely grow up to be petty. They are children of the royal family, how could they be like that?
I know this is a good idea, but my starting point is for His Highness's good. I'm sure His Highness will agree with me. After all, he and I are husband and wife."
The palace maid stopped trying to persuade her. She thought the Crown Princess was stupid. The Yuqing Palace had long been controlled by the concubine. How could a latecomer like her take it away?
It was true that today was the day she and the Crown Prince went to express their gratitude, but the fact that the Crown Prince did not stay overnight in the main hall yesterday had already shown that he did not value her as the Crown Princess.
Instead of keeping a low profile at this time, he wants to snatch the concubine's child. Isn't this like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?
The prince stood outside the door with a gloomy face. He really felt that he shouldn't have married her into the palace. It was really stupid. Why did she think she could raise his child?
Not to mention that Mu Sili gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Judging from the level of favor she enjoyed in front of the emperor, she could not compare to him. It was really wishful thinking for him to want the child in her belly.
He Yuzhu felt bitter, because he was standing behind the prince and could feel his anger most directly. He was afraid that the prince would turn around and give him a beating.
"Father, what does my mother mean by this? She wants to raise my daughter and brother? Does she think that just because she's the Crown Princess, she has the final say in the entire Yuqing Palace?"
Galudai was unhappy. Her mother was a very good person and would never do anything to seduce her father. The reason why she said these things was probably because she thought her mother was of low status and could be controlled by her.
Didn't she think about her own status, the Crown Princess? Her father had said that if it weren't for the Emperor's marriage, she wouldn't be able to sit in this position just because of her many times of mourning.
Now that her father has married her into the palace, it is already a blessing for her. Instead of fulfilling her own duties, she wants to bring her and her siblings to the main palace to raise them. What right does she have?
"Sister, you're right. Could it be that Mother said this on purpose because she was upset that Father stayed overnight in Yunxia Palace yesterday? Father, I don't want to live in the main palace."
"When did I ever say I would send you to the main palace to be raised by the Crown Princess? This is all her hysteria. You must not listen to her blindly. Father will not let her scheme succeed."
Despite the Crown Prince's assurance, Hongxi and Galudai both felt that the Crown Princess would definitely carry them to the main hall given her character.
Since she doesn't want them to have an easy life, they might as well go to Huang Mafa to complain, so that she won't have to rely on her status as their legal mother to forcibly restrain and discipline them in the future.
The prince pushed the door open and Guaerjia, who was chattering about how to teach Mu Sili a lesson, shut up instantly.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. Why did you come so late? I thought you weren't coming. Are these Hongxi and Garudai? I was just thinking of going to pick them up, but I didn't expect you to come here in person."
The Crown Princess's complexion improved a little. She subconsciously thought that the Crown Prince sent them to her to raise. She never considered that the Crown Prince did not want to be alone with her, so he brought them to go with her to express his gratitude.
"My son pays his respects to my mother. What did you say? Pick up my son and sister? Did you misunderstand? Father took my son and sister to the Qianqing Palace for their initiation, not to the main hall for you to raise them."
The Crown Princess's face froze. She felt like she had been slapped in the face by a child. She was their biological mother. Even if she really adopted them, so what? How dare they refuse?
"Your Highness, is this what you mean? I am their legitimate mother. Since I am married to you, it is my duty to raise your children. Don't you want them to have the status of legitimate children?"
If this happened in a common folk situation, the prince would not agree with her, but this is the imperial palace. Even if they are born out of wedlock, they are still royal children and are different from ordinary people. Why does she think that he will handle it according to the common folk rules?
