Mu Sili looked up at Concubine Yi who was deliberately making trouble and smiled. What did she mean by Kangxi would never step foot in her house? It was obvious that she had no attraction to him. How could she blame him for not being interested in her?
"Your Majesty, you are joking. It is said that those who are close to water will get the moon first. You live in the Yikun Palace, so you have many opportunities to gain the emperor's favor, but you have to compete with the concubines, which makes the emperor disgusted.
It just so happened that the Emperor told me yesterday that he wanted to move my palace. If you continue to stir up trouble and influence public opinion, I will tell the Emperor that he has moved. Once I leave the Yikun Palace, you will never see the Emperor again.
Although you are my biological sister, brothers should settle accounts clearly. If you insist on slandering me, I can only ask the emperor to make the decision for me. I am only four months pregnant and cannot withstand any more trouble.
Your Majesty, I am a little tired. To prevent my miscarriage from causing unnecessary trouble, I will not disturb you any further. I am taking my leave."
Mu Sili stood up and left after she finished speaking. As soon as she walked to Wu Yachang's side, she saw the resentment in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows slightly. Was she resentful of her?
"Why is Consort Wu Ya looking at me like this? Could it be that she also thinks I've stolen the Emperor's favor?"
"No, Concubine Zhao misunderstood."
"That's good. You're seven months pregnant now, right? You can tell it's pregnant with a prince. You have to take good care of the baby. The emperor is looking forward to the birth of our baby."
Wu Ya often raised her hand to touch her belly. She was indeed pregnant with a prince. What did she mean by saying this now? Did she want to make herself the target of public criticism?
"Thank you, Lady Zhao, for your kind words. I'm not sure if this baby of mine is a prince, but I can be sure that I will give birth to a healthy prince."
"Indeed, the Imperial Concubine will protect you. After all, you are also a member of the Chengqian Palace. I will not tell you any more. I need to go back and rest so that the Emperor will not worry."
The little bit of pride that Wu Yachang had in her heart disappeared in an instant. Mu Sili was so cruel that she reminded her again and again that she couldn't keep the baby in her belly. If that was the case, don't blame her for being cruel.
The Wuya clan had sent a lot of people into the palace at the beginning. These people were stationed in various places. She would let them take action after they returned.
If she can't keep her child, then neither can Mu Sili's child. If you dare to compete with her, just wait to be despised by Kangxi. A person who can't even keep his own child has no right to live.
"I lived with my sister in the Yikun Palace. Now that my sister has left, I will go back as well, to avoid being blamed for anything that happens."
"I'm going back too."
The originally bustling Chengqian Palace was suddenly left with only Concubine Tong and Wu Ya Changzai. Concubine Tong looked at her with a gloomy expression. How had she offended Mu Sili, and why did she say such words?
Although she had feelings for the child in her womb, she was still quite nervous because Kangxi had not yet agreed to give the child to her to raise.
From what Mu Sili said, Wu Yachang was pregnant with a prince. Since her thoughts were already known to them, she might as well take this opportunity to ask for mercy.
After all, besides being a noble concubine, she was also Kangxi's cousin. Even for the sake of the late Empress Dowager Tong, he would not refuse her request.
As she wished, Kangxi finally agreed to give Wu Ya Changzai's child to her to raise.
"I know you want to have a child, but you must promise me that you only want this one. No matter whether Uya is pregnant with a prince or a princess, this is your only chance."
"I know, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will treat the child as my own. My health is too poor, and I'm afraid I won't live for many years. I'm content to have a child to accompany me."
Concubine Tong did not mention the position of queen, but Kangxi knew that she was pointing at her because when she was a child, Empress Dowager Tong promised her the position of queen. If the Tong family had not been of too low status at that time, the position of queen would have been hers.
"You have already obtained what you wanted. I hope you will know your place and stop thinking about things that do not belong to you. Since I have agreed to your request, please return to your Chengqian Palace. I have no plans to establish a queen."
"I will not mention this matter again. I will take my leave."
At least she'd get custody of the child, right? Two months left, and after two months she'd kick Wu Ya Changzai out. The child was hers, and only hers.
In the Yiku Palace, when Kangxi stayed in the side hall again, Concubine Yi became angry. She rushed to the side hall and made a loud noise, which made Kangxi so angry that he went out and slapped her twice.
"I thought you were straightforward, but I didn't expect you to be born stupid and unaware of it. When is it your turn to take charge of where I stay? Do you have the qualifications?
Not to mention you, even if the queen were still alive, she would not have the right to ask a question. Why do you think you are qualified to interfere in my private affairs, or do you treat yourself as the queen?
Since you don't want this position as a concubine, I will depose you, so that you don't have to bother me and Li'er all day long."
Concubine Yi was confused. She did this because she couldn't hold back the jealousy in her heart. How did this make Kangxi unhappy?
She could fall out of favor, but she couldn't lose her position as Concubine Yi, otherwise how would she be able to gain a foothold in the palace in the future?
To put it bluntly, she has offended no fewer people than Mu Sili.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I just felt that as Your Majesty, you don't need to put yourself in such a difficult position. My sister is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to serve you. It's better for me to serve you.
If you don't want me to serve you, I won't bother you anymore. Please take back your order. I know I was wrong."
"Your Majesty, since the Empress knows she is wrong, please forgive her this time. If there is a next time, punish her more severely. Just consider it as accumulating blessings for the child."
"Since Li'er has pleaded for you, I won't pursue the matter. Remember this: don't come to the side hall in the future. I don't like it."
"I understand. I'll take my leave."
Only after Concubine Yi went back did Kangxi look at Mu Sili with dissatisfaction. Wasn't the reason he did this just to vent her anger? The heartless little girl actually softened her heart again.
No, he had to protect her well, otherwise she would really be sold and help others count the money.
After Concubine Yi returned, she fell seriously ill. Her fate made Concubine Wu Ya stop wanting to harm Mu Sili. She felt that she could not defeat her with her current status, and it would be bad if she got implicated. So the harem was quiet for another two months.
Two months later, Wu Yachang gave birth to a prince safely in Yu Chengqian Palace. Concubine Tong was overjoyed and immediately took the child back to the main hall. However, Wu Yachang fainted without even seeing what the child looked like. When she woke up, it was too late.
