Rong Fei is not honored

Concubine Hui did not think that they had formed an alliance only because of common interests. These victims all wanted to take revenge on the queen and avenge their children.

But now that Concubine Hui is favored and has a son, she is no longer the same as them. They were all poor people who had fallen to the bottom of the valley, but now one of them has succeeded in turning things around, how can they still be united?

Even these concubines began to hate Nara, far more than the queen. Perhaps these people's ideas are ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders. But the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality, and Concubine Hui who got the benefits makes people jealous.

Furthermore, wasn't it because Nara had aroused the emperor's pity that she was favored by the emperor and had children? But didn't they also lose their children? Why was Nara the only one who benefited?

However, these concubines did not dare to offend her, so they always acted the same as before, and would not refuse or be perfunctory when Concubine Hui asked them to do something.

But when they really put in the effort, they became another person. Later, when Concubine Hui went to question them, they also had reasons to defend themselves: they were not favored and had no children, so how could they have the confidence to confront the queen.

After that, he flattered Nara a few more times and the matter was over.

After a few times, Nara seemed to understand that these people were useless, so she never looked for them again. As a result, the structure of the harem became a four-legged tripod.

It is said to be a four-way balance of power, but in fact it is a three-party check and balance, mainly the fourth party, that is, all the concubines except Concubine Hui. The combined power of these people is really too small.

All these people put together, had no favor, no status, and no offspring. Only Concubine Zhang had a little princess, but not even a prince.

These people also know their own weaknesses, so in order to save their lives and not become victims of the fight between gods, they can only stick together. But at least some of them have good backgrounds, so even if they are inconspicuous, it is difficult to ignore them.

What these people are currently wishing for is that Concubine Dong can give birth to a prince, which will give them some bargaining chips.

Of course, they are not without jealousy in their hearts, but they just want to get through the current difficulties first and solve the problem of having children later.

After all, we don't know whether the child is a boy or a girl yet. Even if it is a prince, it is difficult to raise a child in the palace. As long as we do it before the age of six, it will not be too late.

Concubine Dong was not unaware that these people had bad intentions and she did not want her child to become a tool, but it was too difficult to protect the child on her own, so she had to accept it.

After all, in this deep palace, the queen was jealous and had attempted to attack the royal heir many times; the timing of her discovery of her pregnancy was wrong, and Concubine Hui might have thought that she was deliberately stealing her limelight, and she was lucky that she didn't attack her.

But God knows, she really didn't know she was pregnant. Originally, her period hadn't come for three months, and Concubine Dong was very excited. But every time the imperial physician checked her pulse, he said that it was because of her weak body and cold body, so her menstrual period was irregular.

It was not until she was retching in a basin of blood outside Concubine Hui's delivery room that she realized she had been framed. But she was still confused about who had framed her.

His Majesty did arrange for people to protect her pregnancy, but to be honest, Concubine Dong would rather believe the other concubines than His Majesty.

Therefore, even though they have different ideas, these concubines still formed an alliance for the time being. Although they would be defeated if they faced the other three parties directly, they were still a considerable force.

As for the other three parties, the Empress had status, Ji Nai had the love of Emperor Kangxi, and Concubine Hui had the emperor's favor. These three also had princes by their side, and for a while, no one could do anything to anyone else.

Ji Nai knew that this was a situation that Kangxi had deliberately created. Only when there were checks and balances between the parties could he, the emperor, be safe. Therefore, unless something big happened in the palace, it would be difficult to break the current situation.

Seeing Kangxi's current comfort, Ji Nai was very unhappy and wanted to tell Kangxi several times that the balance he had worked so hard to maintain would soon be broken.

But she didn't say it in the end. She couldn't tell Kangxi that their second son would be born next year. There was no sign of Saiyin Chahun yet. If she told him, who knows what Kangxi would think.

Moreover, Kangxi's good days didn't last long. Not to mention the complicated political affairs of the previous dynasty, the harem began to make trouble again. But this time it was not the queen or any concubine, but the Empress Dowager.

The tenth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign was the year of the general election, and the palace was about to start the selection again. From the empress to the concubines, everyone began to worry. The favored ones were worried that a strong rival would come and take away their favor; the unfavored ones did not want a new one to enter.

There were only so many people, and although His Majesty often went to Zhongcui Palace and Yanxi Palace, he only occupied half of their time. In a month of thirty days, His Majesty stayed in Kunning Palace for two days and rested in Qianqing Palace for two days, which would always leave about ten days for them.

These concubines would not blindly believe that if someone more powerful came, they would be able to snatch away the favor of Empress Ma Jia and Concubine Hui and make a fool of themselves.

The greater possibility is that they will take away their share. After all, no matter how many wolves there are and how little meat there is, the leader wolf cannot go hungry. Moreover, the oldest old man in the palace entered the palace in the second year of Kangxi's reign, so naturally newcomers can arouse the emperor's interest more.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager inevitably had her own ideas. Qiqige died in the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, so how could the Emperor's harem not have a Borjigit noblewoman?

While asking Korchin for a list of daughters of marriageable age, the Empress Dowager was also planning how to ask the Emperor. She tried to speak several times, but was stopped by Su Malagu's eyes.

She understood what Su Malagu meant. She was simply afraid that if she brought up this matter, the Empress Dowager would be angry.

But the Empress Dowager really couldn't bear it. This palace had already ruined her aunt (Shunzhi's original wife, later deposed as Concubine Jing), herself, and her entire family. Why add another one to the mix?

The women of the Borjigit clan were born to gallop on the grasslands, not to be trapped in this square house. An eagle on the grassland will not be happy if it is locked in a cage.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager saw clearly that the Emperor was very concerned about the noble lady from Khorchin entering the palace. Even if he could not persuade the Grand Empress Dowager and really sent the person in, the Emperor would not touch her.

How could the Empress Dowager not understand this, for she was such a wise person? No, perhaps it was not that she could not understand it, but that restoring the glory of the Borjigit family in the Qing harem had become the Empress Dowager's obsession.

Finally, the Empress Dowager looked at the gray-haired Grand Empress Dowager in front of her and couldn't bear it, so she could only swallow her words of advice.
