Chapter 471 Too Stupid
Chapter 471 Too Stupid
Chengrui and Saiyinchahun, who arrived in a hurry, were stopped by Liang Jiugong, Li Ma and others before they even entered the main hall of Zhongcui Palace.
In fact, they shouldn't have known about the movements of Zhongcui Palace so quickly, but after so long, they had figured out some patterns:
Whenever my mother has any problems, my father will definitely come first.
Even if she was just unwell, the imperial physician had clearly stated that it was not a serious matter. Even if she was just in a bad mood, unless there was an emergency in the previous dynasty and it was urgent, Ama would always be by her side.
Therefore, even if they are not yet able to place their own people around E'niang, nor are they able to arrange for people to keep an eye on Zhongcui Palace at all times, they just need to pay attention to Ama's movements.
It was common for me to be stopped outside by Liang Anda and Li Ma Ma after arriving at Zhongcui Palace a step behind. I guess my father was coaxing my mother inside and didn't want them to see it.
Chengrui and Saiyincha went to the side hall as if they were familiar with the place. After entering, they saw Rongxian, Yinhua and Yinfu were there as expected.
While accompanying their younger siblings, the two of them waited for their father and mother to come out. As a result, they waited until after lunch.
After Chengrui had lunch with Rongxian and the others, he directly pulled the reluctant Saiyinchahun away. Didn’t you see that there was water in the main hall?
Mother must be fine now. If she wants to know what happened, she can ask her later. But now, isn't it embarrassing for the two older princes to continue staying in Zhongcui Palace?
It's in broad daylight. If it gets out, outsiders won't dare to blame my father, but they will throw mud on my mother.
These two people are so clueless, even though they are parents.
After Chengrui and Saiyinchahun left, news spread in the palace that Concubine Rong was unwell. Everyone thought of Concubine Rong's schedule today and thought she was upset, so even though Zhongcui Palace did not invite an imperial physician, they still believed it.
Anyone who has worked hard in the palace and finally climbed to their current position would be devastated if a new person came in and put pressure on them, and they had to be busy welcoming the new person.
Before, they thought Rong Fei was like a fake person, as beautiful as a fairy, with an unusually good temper, which they all thought was unrealistic.
Now they know that Rong Fei's previous behavior was all "pretend". Not only are they not laughed at, but because Rong Fei has become more down-to-earth, they also develop a sense of mutual appreciation.
After all, Rong Fei is a concubine after all, and she has sons and daughters. What qualifications do those who are not as good as Rong Fei have to laugh at her?
The rumor that Rong Fei was unwell was also heard in Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace. The Empress Dowager of Cining Palace said nothing. In the end, if you look into it carefully, it was Ma Jia who contributed to Kangxi's willingness to enthrone the new queen.
Even the Empress Dowager believed that the so-called physical discomfort was actually due to the unhappiness of Yiku Palace and Chengqian Palace.
But Ma Jia neither made a fuss nor tried to cause trouble. Instead, she devoted herself to arranging the affairs of the two palaces. Why should she keep harping on it?
But behind the scenes, the Empress Dowager and Su Malagu murmured a few words, "After all, she is still young and can't suppress her emotions. But it's no wonder. Rong Fei has feelings for the emperor, so it's natural that she feels uncomfortable."
After hearing about it, the Empress Dowager showed some concern. Even though Saiyin Chahun said that it was okay, she still ordered Nanny An to send some medicinal herbs to Zhongcui Palace.
In addition to the consideration of the bond between Saiyin Chahun, Shoukang Palace and Zhongcui Palace have been so close in recent years. Even if this friendship cannot compare to that of the Empress Dowager, it is still rare.
Otherwise, according to the Empress Dowager's temperament, she would definitely watch the movements of the Cining Palace and take action. If the Grand Empress Dowager turned a blind eye, even if the Empress Dowager was worried, she would not show her concern.
This time, the Empress Dowager made an exception, which attracted many people's attention. Kangxi saw it, Nianhulu saw it, and some shadows hiding in the dark also noticed it.
Ji Nai naturally knew that the news was spread by Chengrui and others. She was indeed reckless that day and acted recklessly with Kangxi in broad daylight.
If Liang Jiugong had not suppressed the news, and if Li Ma and the others had not been strong enough, and if Chengrui and Saiyin Chahun had not released the news to cover it up, if anyone had taken advantage of this matter, Ji Nai would have been charged with the crime of flattering the master.
But Kangxi didn't take it seriously, as if he had tasted the absurdity of that day and had been asking for water in broad daylight for several days afterwards.
Ji Nai could not resist Kangxi's enthusiasm and could only be thankful that there was a small kitchen in Zhongcui Palace.
The servants in Zhongcui Palace had different reactions to this.
Yu Sheng, Yu Qing and the others were happy to see this happen. After all, there would be another queen in the palace in the future, and the master would no longer be as comfortable as before. It would be a good thing to get more favor before the official canonization.
Nanny Li was a little worried. Since the death of Empress Hesheli, even if the master was very low-key, Zhongcui Palace was still the most eye-catching in the palace.
However, there were other people serving as concubines at that time. The mistress used the excuse of taking care of the baby and staying in Zhongcui Palace and refused to go out, so most of the power in the palace was pushed into the hands of Huipin.
Originally, Nanny Li didn't understand why her master did this. It was only when the Emperor issued an imperial decree last December that Nanny Li woke up:
The master is right. It is impossible for the harem to be without a queen forever. It is still too difficult for the master to sit in that position.
Therefore, keeping a low profile is the best policy at this time.
But for some reason, the master who had always been low-key became high-profile after Concubine Nianhulu entered the palace.
You should know that since Concubine Nara gave birth to a weak prince, perhaps realizing how rare it was for the princes in Zhongcui Palace to be healthy, the Emperor almost stopped setting foot in the harem.
Many people were dissatisfied with the fact that Zhong Cuigong was the only one who was favored. However, it was New Year's Day after the house arrest, so the exclusive favor of their master only started after the first month of the year.
Most of the attention in the palace was attracted by the selection of the queen, and for some reason the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace did not react, which allowed Zhongcui Palace to live in peace for several months.
But now, His Majesty not only stayed overnight, but also stayed in Zhongcui Palace during the day, and stayed there for a long time.
The people in the palace are not blind or deaf. Even if they are slow-witted, they should have noticed it. What's more, there is an Empress Dowager who can't stand the Emperor's exclusive favor.
Nanny Li really didn't understand why her master chose to lose her usual "caution" at this time.
Facing Li Ma's hesitation, Ji Nai didn't know what to say, but just said vaguely:
"Mammy, if there's anything, let's talk about it after we've confirmed it in a few days."
Nanny Li was completely bewildered by what her master said. Her master's words were too profound and abstruse. She had no idea what he meant. But when she asked again, her master refused to say anything.
Nanny Li could only guess what her master was trying to do.
This made Li Ma worried and she also had a bad premonition.
