Rong Fei is not honored

After a while, seeing that no one had spoken, Concubine Zhang said with gritted teeth, "So that's how it is. It seems that we have misunderstood. I guess the Queen is just in high spirits because of the good news."

Seeing that someone finally spoke to the point, the queen stroked her belly with one hand and said with a loving smile: "This child is sensible. Since I became pregnant with him, I have not felt uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, I am very energetic."

As expected, she came. Ji Nai and Concubine Nara looked at each other and then said, "People outside the palace are saying that the child in the queen's belly is a lucky star. Now it turns out to be true."

"Your Majesty, you look very good indeed. I didn't expect that this was the reason why you woke up so early these past two days. I originally thought you wanted to pay your respects in advance."

When the queen saw that both Ma Jia and Nara had spoken, she became alert. Although these words were in line with her wishes, and when other people spoke, it would be more convincing than when she spoke herself.

But since these two people said this, how could the queen not suspect that they had other intentions? The queen began to hesitate whether to continue with her plan.

But Ji Nai and Concubine Nara kept arguing with each other, leaving no chance for the Queen to back down.

Moreover, those concubines who had suffered miscarriages before had already reached a consensus with Concubine Nara. Although they didn't know what Concubine Nara was up to at this time, after thinking for a moment, they decided to agree with Concubine Nara's words.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was eerily harmonious, as if the concubines all agreed with the saying of the lucky star. They all complimented the queen and praised the unborn royal heir to the sky.

It was determined that this fetus, which was less than three months old, must be a prince, a legitimate prince of the Qing Dynasty, and even hinted that this was the future crown prince and heir to the throne.

Although the queen felt that the attitudes of these concubines were suspicious and she was wary of whether they had bad intentions, these words hit the mark of the queen's mind, so how could she not be happy? So the queen smiled and agreed, while she became alert.

But afterwards, the concubines in the palace seemed to have completely forgotten the previous conflicts, and they were full of praise for the queen and her unborn baby whenever they mentioned them.

The Queen had even discussed with Nanny Yan in confusion what these people were planning. It couldn't be that they saw that the Queen was pregnant and her position was as stable as Mount Tai, so they didn't want to go against the Queen, so they showed goodwill to Kunning Palace.

But is this possible? Of course not. Not to mention that the queen is pregnant, even if she really gave birth to a prince, even if the legitimate prince grows up, not all of them can sit on the throne.

There are quite a few people who hold this idea, so how could these concubines who are naturally hostile to the queen surrender so easily? They are just plotting another conspiracy.

At the beginning, it was Ji Nai and Concubine Nara who saw through the Queen's intention: she wanted to build momentum for the child who was known as the lucky star.

First, the Queen inexplicably brought forward the time of her greeting, and after attracting everyone's attention, she said that she was just energetic and woke up early, which made everyone half-believe and half-doubt. After that, several auspicious signs will appear in the palace, which will arouse people's endless reverie and unconsciously lean towards the matter of the lucky star.

If there are people who are dissatisfied, or think that this was all staged by the Queen herself, and one or two more accidents happen, and there is no harm done, it will naturally fool the vast majority of people.

Even if the rest of the people had other ideas in their hearts, they were afraid of the Queen's methods and did not dare to refute. Even if they were not afraid, how could they guard against thieves for a thousand days? If they were caught by accident, wouldn't it be more than worth it?

That's why Ji Nai and Concubine Nara followed the Queen's wishes and made the matter as big as possible. This would not only disrupt the Queen's rhythm, but also keep the initiative in their own hands.

The saying "lucky star" is not necessarily a good thing. We must remember that too much is as bad as too little. The higher you praise someone, the more severe the backlash will be.

Besides, this matter had already caught the attention of Kangxi, but the queen was immersed in the joy of having a son and did not realize that the behavior of the Hesheli family would make Kangxi dissatisfied.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the queen, her family of three is one, the royal heir is a lucky star, and Emperor Kangxi is also proud of it.

But she forgot that this should have been Kangxi's highlight, the first outstanding achievement since he ascended the throne. But the lucky star overshadowed his original brilliance. If this was Kangxi's doing, there would be no problem, but it was the heir's in-laws who acted on their own initiative, how could this not provoke Kangxi's sensitive nerves.

Ji Nai and Concubine Nara took the lead, and many concubines who were allies with Concubine Nara followed suit, and naturally several auspicious signs appeared in the palace. By the time the queen realized that it was not her people who did it, it was too late.

In fact, not everyone wanted to oppose the queen, but many concubines followed the trend. Seeing that everyone else did the same, they followed suit in order not to stand out. So for a while, the palace was full of blessings brought by the lucky star.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, the servants in the palace would even praise the lucky star for the good luck they had brought them if they sprained their ankle but did not fall.

Because the rumors were too outrageous, the Empress Dowager ignored the Empress's health and summoned her to the Cining Palace to reprimand her. The implicit meaning of her words was to tell the Empress not to go too far, even if she wanted to build momentum for her own child.

The queen returned to Kunning Palace with a gloomy face, "These bitches!" She knew that these people had no good intentions.

The queen felt very aggrieved. She did intend to build momentum, but she was not stupid. She naturally knew that she only needed a few pieces of evidence. How could it turn out like this?

The look in the Empress Dowager's eyes clearly said that she had overacted. The Queen's face turned red at the time, but she couldn't explain it because she really had this idea.

Didn't the Empress Dowager know that she didn't do those things at all? Of course she knew, but the fact was that she started it, so the Empress Dowager would naturally put the blame on her.

Who else should he go to? The concubines? They could then say that they saw what the queen meant, so they tried to please her. It was still their fault.

Moreover, as for the matter of Lucky Star, even if everyone knew it was a man-made hype, they would not directly lift the veil, so how could the Queen explain it.

The more the queen thought about it, the angrier she got. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which frightened Nanny Yan so much that she wanted to go and get the imperial physician immediately. "You are not allowed to go. I just came back from the Cining Palace. If the imperial physician comes to my house now, are you telling everyone that I am dissatisfied with the Grand Empress Dowager?"

Even if she was really dissatisfied, she couldn't show it. Everyone knew that His Majesty respected this Imperial Grandmother the most, and the Qing Dynasty advocated governing the country with filial piety. As the Queen, how could she bear the reputation of being unfilial?
