Rong Fei is not honored

Hearing this, the Queen looked a little unnatural, but Kangxi seemed completely convinced.

"In that case, then we will promote Nara to be a concubine, just like Majia."

In fact, the Empress Dowager still didn't want to agree. Nara's temperament was different from Majia's. If she became the head of a palace, there would probably be more troubles in the harem.

In the final analysis, it was all the emperor's fault for favoring Nara, which made her so ignorant of her own limitations that when she was still a concubine, she dared to challenge the empress by relying on her pregnancy.

Even though the Empress Dowager disliked the Queen, she also knew the importance of the matter. The Queen's dignity could not be trampled upon, otherwise the palace would be in chaos.

However, the Empress Dowager did not expect that when the Emperor mentioned it to her before, she had already clearly expressed her opposition. Instead of adopting her idea, the Emperor went even further and directly promoted her from a concubine to a consort.

He even acted first and reported to the emperor later. He brought it up in public. He had already opposed it once and the emperor had already given in. It would be bad to embarrass the emperor again.

But the Empress Dowager felt very upset. She always felt that the Emperor wanted to give Nara the position of concubine on purpose to prevent her from stopping him.

Yuan Xu and Ji Nai on the side said, "Kangxi is really good at using the empty window effect."

Ji Nai remained silent and ignored Yuan Xu. Everything that happened before her eyes was really a bit strange. She didn't think that the Kangxi she knew would really like a woman like Nara. If it was Concubine Hui in her previous life, it might be possible.

Today's incident was too coincidental and a bit deliberate. I just don't know if Kangxi was the only one directing the incident or if others also intervened.

The Queen was a little anxious when she saw that the Grand Empress Dowager had stopped her efforts. It would be fine to let Ma Jia stay as a concubine, after all, Cheng Rui's body was already disabled. But Nara!

A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes. Given Nara's temperament, if she really became the head of a palace, with the Emperor's support behind her, she, as the queen, would probably only be a queen in name only.

Just like the Empress Dowager at that time, everyone inside and outside the palace respected Concubine Dong E as the actual Queen. It was because she was protected by the Grand Empress Dowager that she was able to survive. Otherwise, she would have been eaten alive. She must not become like that.

The queen was determined to take the risk, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

No one expected the Queen to do this, and for a moment, there was silence.

"Queen, what are you doing?" Kangxi was very annoyed. Did the Queen want to force him by kneeling down again?

"Your Majesty, Chengrui is your eldest son, so it is understandable that sister Ma Jia becomes the head of the palace. But if sister Nara is also like this," the queen looked at the other concubines, "does it mean that in the future, as long as the sisters in the palace give birth to a prince, they can be directly promoted from concubines to imperial concubines?"

A hint of smile flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. That day, she wanted to dissuade the Emperor from thinking this way. Unexpectedly, the Empress had the same idea as her.

He even dared to say this in public, which was embarrassing for the Emperor. It was no wonder that I had specially passed on the conversation with the Emperor that day to the people in Kunning Palace.

"Queen! Do you know what you are saying?" Kangxi said this with gritted teeth.

Since the Queen finished speaking, everyone's eyes began to focus on Kangxi, but the Queen's eyes were full of pleading, while the eyes of the concubines were full of eager hope.

Who wouldn't want the opportunity to rise in one step from the lowest-ranking concubine to the mistress?

But anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was impossible. Not to mention that there weren't that many palaces in the harem for all the concubines to live in. Even if in the future, if a woman gave birth to a son, she would be the mistress. Wouldn't that mean everyone in the harem would be a high-ranking concubine? That would be a mess.

Kangxi never thought that it would be difficult for him to have children, and he took it for granted.

Seeing that His Majesty was silent, the Queen became bolder, stood up, walked to Concubine Dong, and held her shoulders: "Your Majesty, look, if Sister Dong is also pregnant with a prince, there will be three concubines in the palace."

After the queen finished speaking, all the concubines looked at Concubine Dong's belly. Naturally, there was no kindness in their eyes. Concubine Dong felt the malice and was so scared that she hugged her belly.

Concubine Zhang in the crowd was even more angry. Why did everyone else give birth to a child, but only she was a princess? Not only was she not as good as a prince, but now she was not even eligible for a promotion.

The handkerchief in Concubine Zhang's hand was torn out of shape. Her heart, which had originally been content and only wanted to take good care of her daughter, began to feel indignant again, and she even developed resentment towards the little princess.

Kangxi and the Queen could notice these changes, but the latter was intentional, and she didn't believe that His Majesty could really do what he wanted.

Kangxi knew that if he did not express his opinion, it would be difficult for Dong to give birth to the child, and trouble would arise with the little princess.

In order to keep the harem stable, Kangxi had no choice but to give up. He gave the queen a warning look, then sighed and said, "Since both the Imperial Grandmother and the Queen feel it is inappropriate, let's forget about it."

For a moment, the concubines all felt a little disappointed, but Concubine Dong felt that the chill in her body disappeared and she felt better again.

"But," Kangxi said, "Nara gave birth to a prince, so it would be bad not to reward her. I will give her a title."

The Queen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard it was just a title. After all, no matter how nice the title sounded, in the end, she was just a concubine. But the Grand Empress Dowager was on edge. Title? I hope it's not what she thought.

"Title? What title does the emperor intend to use for Nara?"

"Nara is a woman of peace and kindness, and I grant her the title of Hui. What do you think, Grandmother?"

The Empress Dowager was relieved, fortunately it was not a word like "Chen". However, the Emperor did not feel guilty about those compliments, which one was suitable for Nara. He could only say against his will: "Hui Xin Yan Zhuang, it is indeed a good word."

Ji Nai didn't know what Nara would think after hearing this, but she did see a good show today. She always felt that Kangxi's reaction today was too strange.

Yuan Xu gloated: "Haha, if I were Nara, I would be so angry that I would die. With Nara's temper, she doesn't get along with the queen. Now she must be chasing after the queen. I guess it will be a lively scene in the palace."

Ji Nai's thoughts suddenly became clear. Kangxi deliberately let Nara and the queen confront each other. Was it because of Chengrui's matter that he wanted to suppress the queen? Ji Nai felt that Kangxi could only do this at most.

No matter how Ren Jinai thought about it, she would never have thought that Kangxi actually wanted to kill the queen. It was not that she overestimated the queen's importance in Kangxi's heart, but that she underestimated Kangxi's feelings for her.
