She remembered how unwilling she was when she became the queen. Not only that, even after entering the palace as a concubine, she often spoke disrespectfully to her, thinking that she had snatched her position as queen.
She was too lazy to argue with her for this. The position of Queen was given to her by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor after careful consideration. Why did she think that she would definitely become Queen?
It’s a pity that this matter cannot be brought up now, otherwise she will definitely go to Chengqian Palace to ridicule her.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too ostentatious? Many of the sisters in the harem are still concubines. If she is directly promoted to a concubine, I'm afraid they will be jealous."
"That's fine. If anyone has any objections, let them come to me and reason with me. I remember that the Yikun Palace has been almost repaired, so I will arrange for her to live there."
"I understand."
Only then did the Queen realize how deeply Kangxi loved Mu Sili. She had always thought that Yikun Palace was prepared by him for Concubine Guo Luoluo, but she didn't expect it was not the case.
I'm afraid he was already prepared to give it to her when it was being renovated. Wasn't he afraid that she would refuse?
Forget it, she is pregnant now and it is not appropriate for her to worry too much. She will have to arrange someone to serve him anyway, and he will definitely be happy to be served by someone he likes.
The imperial edict to confer the title of concubine was announced by Liang Jiugong at the Cining Palace. He grew up with Mu Sili, and he was very happy to see her become the master.
"Your Highness, you have become a concubine now, but please do not forget us servants. We are not asking for much. If the Emperor punishes us, you must speak to us."
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, since we grew up together, I will plead for you."
Liang Jiugong was satisfied. He didn't believe that Kangxi would still punish him after he had her. He had taken a lot of blame over the years.
After Liang Jiugong left, Mu Sili went to say goodbye to Empress Xiaozhuang. She was now a concubine in the harem and was given a palace, so she naturally could no longer live in the Cining Palace.
Not only that, based on her experience, Kangxi would definitely go to Yiku Palace to find her tonight, so she had to go back in advance to prepare.
"I originally thought you could only be given the rank of noble, but I didn't expect Xuanye to value you so much and actually give you the rank of concubine. You must serve him well in the future and don't let him down."
"I understand. I'll take my leave."
Just as Mu Sili thought, Kangxi arrived at Yiku Palace right after she arrived. The moment she saw him, she wanted to roll her eyes.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty. I have just arrived at the Yikun Palace and have not had time to pack up. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Kangxi found it a little funny. Did he look like the kind of person who would launch an attack to punish someone?
"I've asked someone to help me. Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Kangxi took Mu Sili directly into the inner room, but he did not do anything. Instead, he talked to her about his childhood.
"I remember that year when I contracted smallpox, everyone avoided me. Even the Queen Mother gave up on me. Only you risked your life to find medicine for me and cured me.
From the moment I opened my eyes and saw you, I decided to repay you well. Who knew you would reject me several times? I really want to know why. "
Mu Sili didn't expect that Kangxi would go to such a big detour just to ask her why she changed her mind, but since he asked, she naturally had to answer him.
"I also have feelings for you, but due to my status and position, if the Empress Dowager hadn't saved me, I would have died. How could I have won your love?
Originally, I wanted to serve the Empress Dowager for the rest of my life to repay her for saving my life, but she mentioned this matter many times. I didn't want to disappoint you and her, so I agreed.
I thought that you could give me the rank of noble lady as a great gift, but I didn't expect that you would actually make me the concubine of the emperor. What virtue have I done to deserve such kindness from you?"
"This is what you deserve. Why don't you think about how I would be alive today if it weren't for your help?"
"So, I should accept your gift with peace of mind, Your Majesty. Please guide me for the rest of my life."
Kangxi was even happier now. He had never thought that Mu Sili was also interested in him. He thought he was just one-sided, but he didn't expect it was a two-way relationship.
"I will never let you down."
Mu Sili believed it. After all, she knew what she was capable of. If she didn't have confidence, she would not have agreed to be his concubine.
It's just a pity that she will be the favored one in the harem in the future, and she will also be the one who can give birth to children. The others can only watch helplessly.
That night, Kangxi stayed in the Yikun Palace. The next morning, he sent someone to tell the empress that Mu Sili would come to pay her respects later. The empress did not say anything about it.
In Kunning Palace, Concubine Tong was very dissatisfied with the fact that Mu Sili was promoted from a palace maid to Chenpin. She had not come even when they had arrived, which showed that she was a little arrogant because of her favor.
"You are so useless! You actually let a person who was once a palace maid hold you down. How could the emperor favor you in the first place? You are so stupid."
Concubine Tong expressed her disdain for Concubine Hui and others without hesitation. She was the one who gave birth to a prince, but she was not as good as a palace maid beside the Empress Dowager.
"Your Highness, you are joking. It's not that the concubines are inferior to the Concubine Chen, but that the Emperor favors whoever he wants, and the concubines and others dare not interfere."
"To put it bluntly, isn't it useless? If the Emperor really likes you, you would either be noble ladies or concubines. But she's really bold. She's late right after serving him in bed. What? Is she trying to protest against me?"
"I don't have the guts to protest to you. I'm late because the Emperor sent someone to tell the Empress that I'm late. How could the Empress have such an idea?"
Mu Sili slowly walked in from outside the door, and Concubine Tong's face looked even uglier. It was different when someone was nourishing her. Looking at her arrogance, did she really think she would be favored for a long time?
It's not that she looks down on her. There are many concubines in the harem, and the emperor has been longing for her but couldn't get her. Now that he has got her, he will naturally turn his attention to others.
She was looking forward to seeing how miserable she would be after falling out of favor in the near future, and she would bring people to see her then.
After all, I have served the emperor, so I still have to show the proper respect.
"Princess Chen, don't think that you can become arrogant just because the emperor favors you. You must know that the three thousand beauties in the harem are never just for show."
"I know, Your Majesty, there's no need to remind me, because that would make me think you're jealous of me."
"Jealous? How could I possibly be jealous of you? I'm waiting to see what happens to you."
"What's the fuss? Are you worried that what's happening here won't reach the emperor's ears?"
The Queen spoke out in displeasure. Concubine Tong was young and impetuous. Did she really think she could do whatever she wanted in the harem just because she was the Emperor's cousin?
If she hadn't cleaned up the mess behind her, the grass on her grave would be ten feet high by now.
