Mu Sili rolled her eyes and spoke as if the flowers in the Imperial Garden had life and she was expecting her to see them. What a joke!
"Eunuch Liang is just joking. I don't have the mood to appreciate flowers alone. If the emperor hadn't invited me, I wouldn't even bother to go."
Kangxi was speechless. How could this be related to him? Well, since she said so, just treat it as a visit from him.
"Let's go."
Soon after the group arrived at the Imperial Garden, the concubines received the news. Within just a quarter of an hour, four or five concubines arrived.
Mu Sili looked at Kangxi with a gloomy look, which made him feel a little guilty. This person was not someone he called, so why was he looking at him like that? If someone didn't know, they would think he was holding a flower-viewing banquet.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't ask them to come."
"Of course I know you didn't ask them to come. If you had asked them to come, I would have gone back long ago. I have no interest in enjoying the flowers with them."
"Why are you still angry? They are just some flowers. Just show them to them. Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go back to Yikun Palace."
Mu Sili looked at Kangxi in shock. It seemed that he was planning to leave them here alone to admire the flowers. When they came to their senses and saw that they were gone, would they think that she had seduced him away?
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to take me away with you at this time? Aren't you afraid that they will think that I took you away on purpose?"
"That's not true. I'm the one who took you away, not you. I don't bother to argue with these beautiful women. If they dare to spread rumors that you seduced me, I'll punish them by making them copy the palace rules."
Mu Sili really couldn't help laughing. If they knew that their little plan was known to Kangxi, she didn't know if they would still be able to laugh. If they wanted to snatch her favor, they would have to see if they were qualified.
"Since Your Majesty has sincerely invited me, there is no reason for me not to go. Your Majesty, please go first."
"You're so easy to coax. You do whatever I say. Aren't you afraid that I'm just saying it to make you happy?"
"The fact that Your Majesty is willing to make me happy proves that I hold a certain place in your heart. I don't ask for much, just a little bit of Your Majesty's favor."
Kangxi laughed again. It seemed that a little bit of love was not enough in her eyes. You know, he was just playing around with others. Even the relationship with Empress Xiaochengren was just that of a young couple.
She, on the other hand, showed some love at the beginning, but ended up looking dissatisfied. He really wanted to pry open her head to see what was inside.
"Okay, three points of love is three points of love, but you have to work harder. I think three points is a little too little. If possible, I hope to like you very much."
"Then Your Majesty, please be prepared. I am very resourceful. To gain your utmost favor, you should be prepared to see me every day."
Kangxi was instantly interested in her. Although he didn't know whether it was good to see her every day, it was enough for him to be happy physically and mentally now. By the way, he had to take her to the Cining Palace.
It took her so many years to finally meet someone she liked, and she was so timid, so he had to find someone to protect her so that she wouldn't be bullied.
"It's a little late today. Tomorrow morning, after I leave the court, I will take you to the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager is kind and gentle, and it will be good for you to spend more time with her."
"Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will be wronged because you can't take care of me, so you are looking for a shelter for me?"
"You could say that. Why, you don't want it?"
"Although I believe Your Majesty can protect me, your concerns are also justified. I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance. I will behave well in front of the Grand Empress Dowager tomorrow."
The two of them returned to the side hall of Yiku Palace. When Concubine Yi heard the news, she was so angry that she threw everything that could be thrown in the main hall.
"Why is she so favored by the Emperor that he wants to take her to the Cining Palace to meet the Grand Empress Dowager? She is just a noble lady. How can she have the honor to meet the Grand Empress Dowager?"
"Your Majesty, please don't do that. I have nothing left for you to throw. What you are holding in your hand is the jade ruyi given to you by the emperor. If you break it, the emperor will blame you."
Jade Ruyi? Concubine Yi stared at the jade ruyi in her hand. This was the ornament Kangxi gave her after she first became his favorite. If this thing was broken by Mu Sili...
"Put it in this safe place for me. I want to use it to do something. If I succeed, my good sister's blessing will be fulfilled."
"yes."
Although I don’t know what Concubine Yi is planning, the jade ruyi is temporarily saved. Even if it breaks, it cannot break in Concubine Yi’s hands.
If Mu Sili knew about this idea, she would definitely say that they are worthy of being master and servant. They even have the same ideas, which shows how dirty their minds are.
That night, Kangxi asked for water three more times. With the previous experience, Concubine Yi stopped making a fuss. She was now looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow so that she could plot to frame Mu Sili.
As long as she is kicked out of Yiku Palace, she can do anything, even if it means being confined to her house again.
The next morning, Kangxi packed up and went to court. Nong Qing woke Mu Sili up according to the time, because Kangxi wanted to take her to the Cining Palace to pay his respects today, so she had to go to the Ciganqing Palace to wait first.
Not long after arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi returned. After using some things casually, he took her to the Cining Palace. Xiaozhuang had received the news early in the morning and knew that Kangxi would bring people over, so she waited there early.
"Grandson pays his respects to Mam."
"This concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Get up, is this your newly-appointed Consort Zhao? She looks a bit frail and weak, and I feel pity for her."
"I just look at it that way. Actually, I am very brave. The Empress Dowager must not judge people by appearance, otherwise I will be wronged."
Xiaozhuang looked at Mu Sili in surprise. It was amazing that as soon as she said this, she immediately changed her fragile look. She had originally disliked her, but her attitude towards her changed instantly.
After all, her son was seduced away by the vixen Dong Efei, and she looked so fragile at that time. No wonder she said that to her just now.
"I really didn't expect you to be so brave. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
"No, the Emperor said that you are the most loving elder in the harem. I don't believe you would punish me for no reason. Besides, I am so cute, how could you bear to punish me?"
Kangxi suddenly felt speechless. How cute! If he didn't know clearly that she was not that kind of person, he would have almost believed it. It was cute. He thought she was just irritable.
