Mu Sili was originally watching the fun, but as she watched, they started to bring the matter directly to her. She blinked innocently. This matter had nothing to do with her. It was Kangxi's own decision.
"Sisters, please don't look at me like that. I don't know why the emperor likes me so much, but I am very lucky to have the emperor's favor.
Today is the first day to pay respects to the Imperial Consort after the Grand Conferment of the Six Palaces. Some things are better kept in the heart. If they are spread out, I am afraid that people will think we are disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine."
"Indeed, the Emperor's decision is his business, and we can only obey. We must not lose our composure in front of the Imperial Concubine later, otherwise we will be punished."
What happened here was reported to the Imperial Noble Consort by the palace servants. She stared at herself in the mirror with a gloomy face. Yes, everyone thought she was going to become the queen, but she didn't expect that she would only get the position of Imperial Noble Consort in the end.
Kangxi had no interest in her, and she would no longer have any feelings for him. What she had to do now was to secure her position as Imperial Noble Consort and raise Yinzhen well, and by the way, find an opportunity to depose the crown prince.
She could not sit on the throne of Queen, but the position of Queen Mother must be hers. If anyone else dared to interfere, she would definitely take their lives!
The greeting went smoothly. After that, Mu Sili went to Cining Palace to talk to Xiaozhuang. Kejing was also there. She went to Cining Palace to pick her up.
"Why does the Grand Empress Dowager favor Kejing just like the Emperor? She's only a few months old, and yet she's received so much favor. I'm jealous."
Mu Sili hugged Xiaozhuang's arm in dissatisfaction and acted coquettishly, which made Xiaozhuang so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Kejing is your child, how can a mother be jealous of her own child? I think I've been pampering you too much lately, and you've started to act like a child."
"Look at what the Grand Empress Dowager said. Although I am your mother, I am just a child in front of you. What's wrong with letting out a child's temper? Anyway, you favor me, so I have to let out my temper."
Xiaozhuang looked at her helplessly. Ever since she gave birth, he had been acting more and more like a spoiled child with her, and was jealous of Kejing for no reason. She didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, please stop teasing the princess. If you continue teasing her like this, the princess won't be able to sleep at night."
"The Empress Dowager has been having trouble sleeping lately? Has she consulted the imperial physician?"
"I've checked it out. It's nothing serious. It's just that the weather is getting warmer and I feel a little hot. It's nothing serious."
"I see. I have some extra ice. I'll have Nong Qing bring some to you later. You're old and need a good rest. I'm still waiting for you to help me take care of the little prince."
"Your ice is useless. You are afraid of the heat, so use it yourself. I won't be in your way."
"That won't do. The Emperor will be worried if you're not feeling well. You must take care of yourself, even for the Emperor's sake. I'll take Ke Jing back with me. You should get some rest. I'll go back and prepare some food and bring it to you."
Without waiting for Xiaozhuang's reaction, Mu Sili took Kejing away. Xiaozhuang looked at Su Malagu helplessly. The fatigue on her face was so obvious?
"I really look serious?"
"It's not serious, you just look listless. Your Majesty is worried about your health. You really need to rest more."
"Forget it, I'll just go and have a rest, lest that girl do something weird to bother me again."
She said these words with disdain, but the upward curve of her lips was enough to show that she was satisfied with Mu Sili.
In Yonghe Palace, after Mu Sili settled Ke Jing, she prepared to make cold noodles. The hot weather really affected the appetite. Not to mention Xiaozhuang, both she and Kangxi were affected.
"What are you going to do, madam? Let me help you."
"Alright, I'm going to make a dish of cold noodles. It's the best to eat when it's hot. It can cool you down and fill you up. I think the Empress Dowager will like it."
"Cold noodles? What kind of noodles are these? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
"It's also a kind of noodle dish. Okay, I'll prepare the noodles, and you go prepare some side dishes and seasonings for me."
Half an hour later, a bowl of delicious cold noodles was ready. Mousse Li mixed a bowl and ate it directly. It turned out that cold noodles were delicious.
"Let's go. Take the food box and go to the Cining Palace with me. I'll also prepare another one to send to the Qianqing Palace. The emperor is also afraid of the heat, so this is a good opportunity for him to cool down."
"yes."
Both Xiaozhuang and Kangxi praised Mousse Li's cold noodles, saying that the cool taste made people feel comfortable both physically and mentally. Thinking that there were many people outside the palace who were afraid of heat, Kangxi asked her for the cold noodle recipe and prepared to promote it to the people.
"I originally thought I would go to Chengde to escape the summer heat this year, but now it seems I don't have to go."
"Escape the summer heat? Actually, I wanted to make ice bowls before, but ice is a rare commodity. It would be great if we could produce it in large quantities. That way, we wouldn't have to spend huge sums of money to go to Chengde every year to escape the summer heat."
Kangxi was stunned. That was true, but the ice was stored in the winter and was not enough for summer, let alone making ice bowls.
Mu Sili did not force it. She did not need to know too much, as long as she could get Kangxi's favor, so she did not continue the topic.
"Chengde isn't too far away, so let's just go there for a trip. I also need to relax."
"I understand. Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and it's normal for him to care about the people. It's a pity that I'm a woman, otherwise I would definitely share your worries."
"It's not that I can't share my worries. Kejing has been pregnant for more than four months. The imperial physician said that your body has recovered a lot and it's suitable for you to give me another prince.
I hope you can give me a prince who looks like me. I will raise him well. Of course, I will not neglect Kejing just because you gave birth to a prince. She is still my most beloved princess.
The reason why Kangxi hoped that Mu Sili could give birth to a prince was not only because he had few children, but also because he hoped that she could have a prince by her side, so that even if something happened to him in the future, she would not be bullied.
"Your Majesty, are you so sure that my next child will be a prince? What if I give birth to a princess? You won't like her then?"
"How is that possible? I still say that no matter whether you give birth to a prince or a princess, they are both my children. I love them equally. It's just that I hope you can be more confident, so a prince is the best."
"In that case, I will definitely live up to your expectations and strive to give birth to a prince for you as soon as possible."
One? How could that be possible? If she was going to have three, she'd have three. There was no need to go through the pain of multiple births when something could be done in one. Even though she had a cheat, pregnancy was still very difficult.
Besides, isn't the Imperial Noble Consort afraid of her and wants to attack her again? If she gave birth to three princes, would she still dare to attack her?
"Then I will work hard to give Kejing a brother or sister. Don't feel pressured, just let it happen naturally."
