Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong also smiled when they saw this scene. Although they were not mortal enemies with Concubine De, their relationship was not very good either. Then they turned around and left in the sedan chair.

When the other concubines of lower rank saw that the ladies had dispersed, they also left in groups.

The imperial concubine returned to Yongshou Palace, took Mu Xi's hand and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you today. Don't worry, mother will definitely seek justice for you."

Mu Xi smiled and comforted her, "Mother, you don't have to mind it. The Queen Mother has already punished Consort Demu today and has vented her anger for her daughter-in-law.

If we continue to dwell on this, it will make us look petty and narrow-minded.”

The imperial concubine also knew this truth, but she couldn't let her daughter-in-law be bullied for nothing.

So the imperial concubine talked to Mu Xi for a while and then let Mu Xi go back.

Then she asked the chief palace maid to pass on a message, asking her parents' family to send someone to the palace to see her.

When Mu Xi returned to the prince's residence, the empress dowager sent people to come with rewards.

When Kangxi got the news, he was eating the cakes that Muxi had sent him this morning. It must be said that this cake was sour and sweet, and it was very suitable for this season when it was cold.

I felt that the Queen Mother was a little abnormal today, so I asked, "Liang Jiugong, what happened when you paid your respects this morning?"

Liang Jiugong immediately said, "Your Majesty, this morning in Ningshou Palace, Concubine De accused the Tenth Lady without any reason, for not offering the appetizing meal to the Empress Dowager."

Liang Jiugong had been dissatisfied with Concubine De for a long time. Now he finally had the chance to complain. He then said, "I think this is nonsense. The Tenth Concubine is very filial. Whenever there is fresh food, she will send it to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to taste!"

While listening to Liang Jiugong's words and eating cakes, Kangxi felt a little dissatisfied with Concubine De. The Tenth Concubine was indeed very filial these days, better than his own children, and always remembered his imperial father!

So he said, "Since Concubine De cares so much about the Empress Dowager, let him copy the Buddhist scriptures ten times and pray for the Empress Dowager. He must stay in Yonghe Palace until he finishes copying!"

Then he asked Liang Jiugong to take the reward to the Tenth Lady, saying roughly that Mu Xi was well-educated, virtuous, and very filial.

"Clang! Clang!"

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De received the punishment from Emperor Kangxi. She angrily smashed several sets of tea sets and said sharply, "Your Majesty, how could you do this to me? Shifujin, just wait. I will let you know the consequences of offending me."

At the same time, Defei thought bitterly in her heart that when she became the empress dowager, she would definitely kill the Tenth Concubine.

The other concubines in the palace also received the news that Concubine De was punished. They were very surprised. They didn't expect that the Tenth Concubine was so important in the emperor's heart.

At the same time, he secretly thought that it would be better not to offend the Tenth Lady, since there was no conflict of interest between them anyway!

Mu Xi was happily looking at the rewards given by Kangxi and the Queen Mother in the Prince's Residence. Although she had hoarded a lot of jewels before, what woman would complain about having too many jewels?

Mu Xi was so happy that she didn't know that she had become the person that the concubines in the palace least wanted to offend. And the Empress Defei had already wanted to kill her.

The reason why Kangxi doted on Mu Xi so much was not only because he truly loved this daughter-in-law, but also because of political factors.

The Tenth Concubine here was born with Buddhist chants, and most Mongolians believe in Buddhism. They all believe that the Tenth Concubine is a lucky star bestowed by God to Mongolia, so the Tenth Concubine has a very high status in Mongolia.

That's why Kangxi attaches so much importance to Mu Xi.
