"I pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager. I hope I am not disturbing your master's rest by coming here at this time."
"Why are you here, girl? I thought you were so preoccupied with Xuanye and the two children. Don't you realize how long it has been since you last visited the Cining Palace?"
"It's my fault. I made you worry. But I have good news to share with you. Do you want to hear it?"
It was rare to see her with such an expression, and Empress Xiaozhuang was surprised. Of course, she was also curious about her.
"How could I not have known that you could be so naughty? Tell me, what's the good news? Could it be that the Emperor has made you his empress?"
"No, the Grand Empress Dowager would just make fun of me. It's good news that the Emperor has made me his empress, but it's not the same good news I told you. Why don't you guess again?"
Xiaozhuang suddenly widened her eyes. Since this was not news of the empress's enthronement, there was only one possibility, that is, she was pregnant again.
"But you're pregnant again?"
"The Empress Dowager is wise. I am indeed pregnant again. Today is a double celebration for me. Are you happy?"
"Happy, of course I am happy. But why do I feel a little uneasy? Is it really a pregnancy?"
"How could I possibly lie to you? Liang Jiugong came to deliver the decree just after I found out about the pregnancy. I was also surprised.
This child must be a lucky star. He brought me such good news right after he became pregnant. I am very happy.
Although I do not value the position of Empress, if the Emperor gives it to me, I will definitely fulfill my duties as Empress."
The reason why Mu Sili said this was because she was worried that Empress Xiaozhuang would ask her to persuade Kangxi to treat everyone equally, but Kangxi was her man, how could she possibly give him up?
She is not a saint. Even if she becomes the queen, what does it matter? If Kangxi dares to touch other people, she will disappear with her children.
Of course, this was just her metaphor. She believed that Kangxi would not do such a thing, and she would not have the chance to run away with the child.
"I knew you were a good person. Now that you are pregnant, you should take good care of the baby. Xuanye has few children, so I still hope he can have more princes."
"I will try my best. It's getting late. I have to go back to look after Baocheng and Xiaosi. I won't disturb you to rest. I'll take my leave."
When Mu Sili left, she took away a lot of rewards. Empress Xiaozhuang valued her very much, so the gifts she gave her were not ordinary.
"Your Highness, I heard from the Grand Empress Dowager that she wants you to persuade the Emperor to treat everyone equally and not favor you so much. Do you really intend to persuade the Emperor?"
"Ziyuan, do you look like a law-abiding person to me?"
Zi Yuan stared at Mu Sili for a long time and then shook her head. What the hell was that? She was overthinking it. What the Empress said in the Cining Palace just now were all excuses.
"I misunderstood your majesty. Don't worry, your majesty, Liang Jiugong and I will protect you and the young princes. This harem is your world, and I will never let anyone take advantage of you."
Although she felt that her words had some problems, she said it for her own good, so she didn't express any opinion.
"I am optimistic about you."
As soon as Yinreng returned to Chengqian Palace, he brought Yinzhen over.
"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, you have finally become the Empress. Your son is really worried that the Emperor will give the position to someone else. You are obviously the best candidate for the position."
Mu Sili was immediately amused by his words. What did she mean by the best candidate? It wasn't a beauty pageant, so was there a need for a selection?
"Baocheng is so eager for me to become the queen, so of course I have to work hard. What's wrong with Xiaosi? Are you still asleep?"
Yinzhen shook his head. It wasn’t that he was still sleepy, but that his second brother woke him up and woke him up to read, which gave him a headache.
He was still a child, and his second brother was also young, so why was he so keen on studying? Did being a crown prince require such hard work?
"Mother, is my son not working hard enough? Why doesn't he want to study?"
The corners of Mu Sili's mouth twitched. How could she know why he didn't like studying? He was obviously raised by her, so why was his personality so different?
Yinreng was also a little helpless. His fourth brother was good in everything except studying. This was not a good thing and he had to correct it quickly.
The Emperor's father had once said that they brothers should work together to govern the Qing Dynasty, so he couldn't let his fourth brother become lazy.
"Empress Mother, Fourth Brother was just joking. I heard you're pregnant again. Is that true?"
Yinreng looked at Mu Sili's belly and asked in an expectant tone, saying that he already had a younger brother and now wanted a younger sister.
If she really gave him a sister, he would definitely spoil her and make her the second happiest woman in the world.
The reason why it is not the first is naturally because of Mousse Pear.
"It's true. I just found out this morning. I thought you two were the only two children I would have in my life, but I didn't expect God to have mercy on me and let me get pregnant again."
"Congratulations, Empress Dowager. Could you give me a sister this time? A brother or something would be enough. I want a soft and sweet sister."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen looked at him sadly. His second brother had definitely changed his heart. He used to say that he was his most beloved younger brother, but now, a younger sister was trying to compete with him for favor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little conflicted. She was his biological sister, born of the same mother. Could it be that I should be angry with her just because she stole the favor of my second brother?
Forget it, a younger sister is indeed more attractive than a younger brother, and he also wants a younger sister. In that case, he will just look forward to the Empress Dowager giving birth to a younger sister.
"Although I'm worried that my younger sister will steal the love you and my second brother have for me, I know right from wrong. Even if you really give birth to a younger sister, it doesn't matter. I like her."
The corners of Mu Sili's mouth twitched again. This boy spoke as if she would no longer love him now that she had a daughter. Is she that kind of person?
Regardless of whether she is or not, she is pregnant with two sons and has no younger sister to compete with him for favor.
"Since Xiao Si has said so, I can't say anything else. But you have reminded me that since I have become the queen, the positions of Huipin and Rongpin should also be moved."
"What does the Empress mean?"
"They also have princes by their side. They can't just sit on the throne forever. You will become the emperor's in the future. How can you live without brothers to help you?"
Yinreng looked at her with a touched expression. He knew that she was not his biological mother, but she treated him better than his biological mother. Now she was even promoting someone else for him. How could he not be moved?
Doesn’t she hope that he will ascend the throne as soon as possible so that she and the Emperor can go out and play?
He decided to study hard from now on and strive to learn how to govern a country within ten years so that she could do what she wanted.
"Mother, I will do as you wish and let you live the life you've always dreamed of."
