"Hahaha, I haven't been this happy in a long time. Xuanye, you gave me a happy fruit. You just want me to protect her. I agreed."
Upon hearing this, Mu Sili rushed to Xiaozhuang and diligently massaged her legs and shoulders, which made Kangxi's eyes twitch.
Why didn't he see her being so servile when he stayed in the side hall of Yiku Palace these two days? Could it be that he, the emperor, is not as important as the Empress Dowager in her heart?
He would not admit that he was jealous, and he was jealous of his own Royal Mam. He just felt that she treated him differently, and there was no other meaning.
"You are so lucky, Madam Royal. I feel like I've given you a filial granddaughter-in-law. I haven't even enjoyed this kind of treatment."
Xiaozhuang was really shocked this time. She had never thought that Kangxi treated Mu Sili as his wife. She looked at Kangxi with some worry. He shouldn't have a love affair like his Mafa and Ama, right?
Although there are many romantic people in the Aisin Gioro family, she has already met two of them. She really doesn't want her grandson to be such a romantic person and have a bad ending.
But when she looked at Mu Sili, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her. She felt that she was not the kind of person who would harm her own grandson. Well, she was old, so let them handle these things themselves. She didn't have much energy to deal with them.
"How could Your Majesty say that? I clearly felt that the Grand Empress Dowager had a kind of aura that made people want to get close to her, so I came up to her to curry her favor. Please don't ruin my reputation.
Grand Empress Dowager, I didn't mean to do that. Please don't be angry with me. If you don't like it, I won't rub your shoulders anymore. I promise to listen to you and the Emperor and never cause any trouble."
Although she said so, her eyes were always looking at Xiaozhuang with resentment, as if the tears in her eyes would fall out if she said she didn't want to be close to her.
This was the first time she had encountered someone who did not play by the rules. To be honest, it was not easy to deal with him.
"I never said I wouldn't let you serve me. Xuanye is usually busy and rarely comes to see me. If you can come and talk to me more often, I will definitely be very happy."
"Really? You're not trying to cheer me up, are you? I'm telling you, I'm serious. If I come to the Cining Palace to accompany you often, you can't despise me."
"Okay, I'll keep my word and I won't despise you. But you have to hold on. Whether I can live a comfortable life depends on you."
"I'll remember this."
After successfully gaining enough favor from Empress Xiaozhuang, Kangxi took her back. For the next month, Mu Sili went to the Cining Palace every day to report, and she successfully made Empress Xiaozhuang fall in love with her.
"Speaking of which, the Emperor's birthday is coming up in the next two days. I heard that the Emperor has been doting on you for a month. What do you want to say?"
The reason why Xiaozhuang said this was not because she felt that Mu Sili was too favored, but because she was worried that Kangxi would favor her too much and cause her to be persecuted by the concubines in the harem.
After all, many such things have happened throughout history, and she was worried that she would be wronged in places where they couldn't take care of her.
Xiaozhuang herself didn't want to admit that after only one month of getting along, she began to treat Mu Sili as her granddaughter. It seemed that her heart and eyes were now full of plans for her future.
"I have actually advised the Emperor that it is not okay to have a concubine who is exclusively favored by the harem, but the Emperor is not happy about it. He said that he is the ruler of a country. If he can't even protect the one he loves, how can he protect the country?
I am very touched that the emperor can show me such kindness, so I decided to do my duty well. Of course, what I want to do most now is to give birth to children for the emperor.
You also know that the Emperor only has three children now. I don't ask for much, I just want to give him a son or a daughter. Then the Emperor will definitely be happy."
Xiaozhuang was very satisfied with Mu Sili's words. This was the right attitude. She really treated her as her granddaughter and doted on her. If she had children, she would raise them well.
"Now that you have such an idea, you must put it into action. I am waiting for your good news."
"Does the Empress Dowager dislike my frequent visits lately? She wants to kick me out, but I won't leave.
Since I came to the Cining Palace to accompany you, not only Huipin and Rongpin, but even Concubine Tong has never given me a cold look. I must cling to them tightly."
Su Malagu stood behind Xiaozhuang and looked at Mu Sili. The noble lady became more and more relaxed in front of the princess and dared to say anything.
No one else would dare to say something like that just now, but it also indirectly shows that the princess really dotes on her, otherwise she would not dare to say that.
"Okay, then I'll allow you to cling to me. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I'll definitely protect you."
"What nonsense is the Empress Dowager talking about? A kind person like you deserves a long life. If Changshengtian dares to have any ideas about you, I will go to the courtyard and scold it for being tactless."
"Oh, then I'm just waiting for the time when our Concubine Zhao will show her power. I'm old, and there will always be a day like that. I'm very happy to hear you defend me like this."
"What I said is true. I hope you can live a long life and see your great-grandson marry and have children. By then, you will have five generations living under one roof, which will bring honor to your ancestors."
Xiaozhuang was helpless. So this was her plan. She thought she wanted to keep her alive to protect her.
But she was right. She had too many regrets and too much unwillingness in this life. If she really died, she would not be able to hold back when she saw the loving scene of Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu in the underworld.
But it would be different if she really had five generations living under the same roof. When she went to the bottom of the world, even Huang Taiji would envy her. It would make her feel comfortable no matter how she thought about it.
"Okay, I will definitely live well and see the prince and his family get married."
"Yes, please believe me, this day will come soon."
Maybe because she squatted for too long, Mu Sili felt a little uncomfortable. The moment she stood up, she fainted.
This frightened Empress Xiaozhuang. She thought that Mu Sili's words had angered God and that this was God's punishment for her. After the imperial physician examined her pulse, she was both surprised and happy.
How could this girl, even though she was pregnant, still be as reckless as before? If something happened to the child in her belly, how would she explain it to the emperor?
"Don't worry, Princess. Concubine Zhao is fine. Didn't the imperial physician say she'll wake up soon? You should be happy. Concubine Zhao is pregnant. This brings you one step closer to your dream of having five generations living under one roof."
"That makes sense, but let's keep this news a secret for now. Xuanye's birthday is coming in a few days, and I want to give her a chance."
