Kangxi was satisfied. He wanted to deal with the memorial quickly so that he could go to Chengqian Palace to pick up Mu Sili. Since he had taken her into the harem, he would not let her suffer any grievances.
In Chengqian Palace, after Concubine Tong confirmed again and again that there was no problem with her plan, she sent people to receive the concubines who had arrived one after another to attend the flower-viewing banquet.
The Queen did not come because she was pregnant and to prevent accidents she had to stay out of Kunning Palace less often. She would hold a banquet after she gave birth and invite them to attend.
It doesn’t matter whether the Queen comes or not. Her target is Mu Sili and Concubine Rong. As long as the two of them come, it will be fine.
Concubine Hui did not approve of Concubine Rong coming, but Concubine Tong personally instructed that Concubine Rong should look at some flowers to relax her body and mind, and she had to come, so she accompanied her.
"Sister, today's flower viewing banquet clearly has ill intentions. You'd better be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you."
"Okay, sister, don't worry, nothing will happen. If Concubine Tong really dares to frame me in this situation, I will not let her go."
After all, she came to this so-called flower-viewing banquet just to confirm one thing. If Concubine Tong really attacked her, then her children might have been killed by her.
As their mother, she should avenge them. As long as she can avenge them, it doesn't matter even if it costs her life.
Concubine Nianhulu was the first to arrive. She was now childless and only had a title, but it did not affect her status in the harem.
She attended the flower viewing banquet today to see what tricks Concubine Tong would play. If she wanted to attack Concubine Rong, she would not let her go.
Although Kangxi did not dote on her very much, he treated her with due respect. She also respected him and would not allow anyone to lay a hand on his children.
"Is your sister here? I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive. I thought you would be the last. Please take a seat. We can start once everyone is here."
"It seems that I am indeed early, but it doesn't matter. I have nothing to do anyway, so why not come early to enjoy the flowers?"
Concubine Tong subconsciously thought that what she meant was that she was out of favor and it would be better to divert attention, so she felt a little disdainful of her.
Did she think she could rest easy just because she became a noble concubine? After the queen passed away unexpectedly, the position of successor would definitely be hers.
The Tong family is becoming more and more prosperous. As long as the emperor still needs the support of their Tong family, he will definitely give her a high position. She is looking forward to whether her face will be as calm as it is now when she sits on the throne of queen.
"Sister, you are right. I still have guests to entertain, so I won't talk to you. Come, take good care of the Imperial Concubine."
"yes."
Concubine Nianhulu didn't say anything about her behavior. With her personality, she wanted to be the queen, which was simply a dream.
As long as the Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager are not blind, she will never become the Empress. To put it bluntly, even if the Empress dies, it will not be her turn to become the successor Empress.
Rong Guiren was still very nervous when she came to Chengqian Palace. She was worried that Concubine Tong would use the child in her womb to frame someone else, and if nothing unexpected happened, that someone else would definitely be Mu Sili.
"I should have refused on the grounds of feeling unwell earlier. I didn't think so before, but now I feel that this so-called flower viewing banquet is a Hongmen Banquet targeting my sister. Sister, I'm so scared."
Concubine Hui didn't expect her to be so scared, but the people had already come. If they left immediately, Concubine Tong would definitely hold a grudge against them.
Their status is lower than hers, so if she really wants to punish them, they have nothing to say and can only bear it.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be by your side. You must follow me closely at the banquet today, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone takes advantage of you."
"good."
As soon as Mu Sili arrived, she saw Concubine Nianhulu sitting lazily and drinking tea. She was surprised. After all, she was the first person under the Queen, and she didn't expect her to come so early.
"I have met the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Tong. I thought I was early, but I didn't expect the Imperial Concubine to come even earlier."
"Please take your seats. I just arrived a short time ago, and there is still a quarter of an hour until the flower viewing banquet."
Concubine Tong was satisfied when she saw that Mu Sili and Rong Guiren had arrived. What she wanted was to use her to destroy the baby in Rong Guiren's belly. Since she was here, let's start.
"To be honest, I just wanted to host this flower viewing party on a whim. Thank you for not objecting. I declare the flower viewing party open."
After saying this, Concubine Tong winked at the people in the dark. Since they wanted to frame them, they naturally had to arrange the manpower first.
If she missed such a good opportunity today, how would she frame her in the future?
As soon as she entered the harem, she snatched away all of Kangxi's favor. This was something she wanted but didn't get, and what she couldn't get, no one else could get.
Mu Sili sneered. If she couldn't see such an obvious hint, it would be a shame for her experience in so many lifetimes.
"Noble Lady Hui and Noble Lady Rong came together. There are many people at the flower viewing banquet, so be careful. Oh, and stay away from me, so as not to be plotted against by those with ulterior motives."
"Thank you for the reminder, Concubine Chen. I will take good care of Concubine Rong."
As she said, Mu Sili stayed away from the two of them. Tong Fei saw this scene and was so angry that she almost rushed over and scolded them for being tactless.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Chen is clearly not fooled. Do you still want to continue with today's arrangements?"
"Go on, why not? Don't you know the purpose of this flower viewing banquet?"
"But Concubine Chen doesn't stay close to Noble Lady Rong, so it's difficult to operate the secret arrangement."
How could Concubine Tong not know this, but she couldn't lower her status and take the initiative to attack, right?
In her eyes, Mu Sili was just a concubine who was born as a palace maid. She was not qualified to be compared with these noble ladies. It was her blessing to be able to make plans with her, and she should not refuse.
"Never mind. Opportunities come to those who are prepared. Since you've come to my flower viewing party, I'll always find a chance to take action."
"I understand. I will send someone to follow them closely."
Concubine Tong looked in the direction of Mu Sili with a headache. She didn't believe that she would always stay away from Concubine Rong. As long as she got the chance, she would send her to hell.
"My Lady, why do I feel like Concubine Tong is always looking at you? Is she really planning to plot against you?"
"Did you think what I said to you before was a joke? This is a Hongmen Feast against me. It's a pity that I won't give her the chance to attack me."
It turned out to be the Hongmen Banquet. She had to be careful then. If she accidentally fell into her trap, she would lose her favor.
In this palace, the relationship between the master and the servant is one of shared success and shared failure. Since she was assigned to serve the empress, she would do her utmost to protect her.
