"I understand."
A month later, Mu Sili really announced that she was pregnant. Kangxi was very proud. He knew that he was very capable and that she would give birth to a prince as he had hoped.
"Since you're pregnant, take good care of the baby. Send Kejing to be raised by the Royal Mother for a few months. Pregnancy is hard, and I really don't want you to go through double the hardship. It would be heartbreaking for me."
Kejing is crying her heart out right now, and Mu Sili is actually pretty scared of it. Since Xiaozhuang is willing to help her share the burden, she won't be polite.
"Okay, but it's hard for the Empress Dowager. She's already old and still has to take care of my children. I feel bad for her."
Kangxi looked at her speechlessly. Was he distressed? How could he not see that she was distressed? If she was really distressed, how could she have the nerve to say that she wanted to have five generations of the royal family live together?
Also, if he remembered correctly, she had previously said that she wanted to ask the Royal Mother to help her take care of the little prince. She was so shameless!
"You're pregnant, and I don't want to argue with you. Liang Jiugong, you should personally send Kejing to the Cining Palace and tell the Empress Dowager that Concubine Zhao is pregnant. I think the Empress Dowager will be happy."
"yes."
Xiaozhuang was indeed happy. After all, she liked Mu Sili, so naturally she loved her child as well. Kejing was a bit like her, so she decided to train her to be the next her.
The news that Mu Sili was pregnant again did not cause much stir in the harem. Kangxi favored her alone, and if she could not get pregnant, it would be a shame to Kangxi's favor for her.
In Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort coaxed Yinzhen while ordering people to keep a close eye on Yonghe Palace. To be honest, she was very envious of her. After all, she had been in the palace for only more than a year and had already ascended to the position of concubine, which was worthy of her envy.
"Your Majesty, what if Concubine Zhao gives birth to a prince? She is already favored, and even the Fourth Princess is quite favored by the Emperor. If she gives birth to a prince, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."
"Prince? That's right. If she gave birth to a prince, my mistress would be even less powerful. But I can't do anything to her. That idiot Uya is gone too. What a pity."
"Your Majesty, why don't you take this opportunity to raise someone who looks like her to compete for her favor? If you can share her favor, that would be great, but even if you can't, it would still be a nuisance to her. Why not?"
"You mean to ask me to find someone who looks like her to compete for the emperor's favor? That's a good idea, I don't believe the emperor wouldn't be tempted by someone like that.
Since you came up with this idea, you can go find it. I believe you can find such a person. If you succeed in gaining my favor, I will definitely benefit from your contribution."
The Imperial Noble Consort did not think there was anything wrong with this move. She even thought it was a good idea. As long as that person could gain the emperor's favor, he would be able to break the favor that favored Mu Sili alone in the harem.
When the emperor favors her, he will definitely not be able to help but linger in the harem. If the concubines in the harem regain his favor because of this, they will definitely be grateful to her.
When she wants to depose the crown prince and enthrone Yinzhen as the crown prince one day, these people will be her helpers, and Yinzhen's chances of becoming the crown prince will be greater.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take care of this matter."
After Mu Sili learned from 9527 that the imperial concubine wanted to find someone similar to her to snatch her favor, she did not hesitate to ask 9527 to prepare someone similar to her for her.
[Host, do you really believe that Kangxi wouldn't be attracted to this woman? If only I had known she looked 50% like you.]
9527 didn't understand. Did the host find a love rival for herself? Or did she take the initiative to find one?
"Do I look like a fool to you? Putting aside how much she resembles me, even if she were my twin, Kangxi wouldn't like her.
On the contrary, given his personality, he would definitely guess that someone had deliberately found someone like this to cause trouble for me. If he investigated carefully, he would be able to trace it back to the Imperial Concubine.
Do you think Kangxi will side with me or punish the Imperial Noble Consort severely? I bet he will side with me and punish the Imperial Noble Consort severely.
9527 was silent. Was this question that difficult to answer? No matter what she answered, it would be in her favor. The host had learned bad habits.
【This system understands. 】
Although Mousse Pear had the aura of a charmer and had already captivated Kangxi, there was always a chance of an upset. Therefore, the person he prepared was only a third like Mousse Pear.
The imperial concubine thought it would take a long time to find someone who looked like her, but she found one in just half a month. When she saw the real person, she was not satisfied.
"They only look a bit like each other. Why did you bring someone like this into the palace?"
"Your Majesty, this is the person I could find who looks most like Concubine Zhao. I brought her back to you to avoid any further complications. If you are not satisfied, I will spend more time looking for her."
The Imperial Noble Consort frowned and looked at the woman. No matter what, she was at least three-quarters similar, which was much better than those concubines in the harem. As long as she could get the favor of Kangxi, it would be better than anything else.
"Forget it, let's take her with us. Bring her along to learn the palace rules and regulations, and also learn how to behave like Concubine Zhao. I can't say I can learn her completely, but at least 70% or 80% of her.
I don't believe there is such a person who can remain calm and chaste for the Emperor. If that is the case, I will have to use some means. She can't always be the only one favored by the Emperor. "
"Your Majesty is right. I will take her downstairs to learn the rules right away. I will try to make sure she learns the rules within a month and create an opportunity for her to sleep with me."
"It would be more appropriate for me to arrange the sleeping arrangements. Now, go on your way. Remember to send someone to closely monitor the news from Yonghe Palace."
"yes."
Mu Sili has been a bit bored recently. Ever since Kejing was taken to Cining Palace, she feels like she has one less person to talk to. Although Kejing is only a baby of a few months old, it does not affect her ability to develop a relationship with her.
Besides, although the person the imperial concubine found was three-quarters similar to her, his temperament was not as good as hers. Even after a year of training, Kangxi would not be interested in him. She suddenly regretted asking 9527 for help.
"Naughty, come with me to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I'm so bored lately I'm going moldy. If I don't go out for a walk, I'll go crazy."
"Your Highness, are you still in the mood to go out for a walk at this time? I heard that the Imperial Concubine had someone bring a woman into the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, that woman is here to compete for your favor."
Nong Qing looked at Mu Sili with a worried look on his face. Is the Queen confused? Shouldn't she find out the woman's background at this time? Why is she still in the mood to go out?
"Competing for favor? From the day I was favored, all the favor in the harem belonged to me. How can there be any such thing as competing for favor? It's impossible for the person the Imperial Noble Consort found to replace me. Don't worry."
Reassured? Not at all. The Empress can be a little bit impatient sometimes. It seems I still have to rely on her for everything.
