Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 167 Concubine Hui is pregnant again

Concubine Hui originally wanted to draw lessons from the story of Queen Tongjia adopting the Fourth Prince, and let the Queen adopt a little princess, which would definitely lead to many stories between the biological mother and the adoptive mother.

Just like the fourth prince Yinzhen in history, his adoptive mother died of illness, his biological mother was not close to him, and even his brothers from the same mother would rather support other brothers. It is hard to say that Yongzheng's mean and ungrateful character was not affected by this incident.

It just so happened that the little princess was in poor health. If she died in Kunning Palace, no matter what the cause of death was, the queen, as her adoptive mother and legal mother, would have no way to defend herself.

It's a pity that she met Zhang, who was not clear-headed, and wasted such a good opportunity. But no one could have thought that after all the twists and turns, the queen would still be ordered to raise the little princess. This was a godsend opportunity.

In the harem, everyone has their own little thoughts. For the emperor's favor, for offspring, for status, undercurrents are surging beneath the calm lake.

In mid-June, good news came from the palace again. Concubine Hui of the Yanx Palace was diagnosed with pregnancy again.

The Queen was really about to lose her guard this time. Why were these two people who had always been against her so lucky to have a belly that was good for giving birth?

If someone in the harem was pregnant, the person the queen least wanted was Consort Hui Nara. With her temper, she would definitely make a scene because of her pregnancy.

The queen only regretted that she was blind at the beginning. She did not see Nara's true nature and was deceived by her pretended humility and caution.

At that time, he was only thinking about suppressing Ma Jia, his favorite concubine before he entered the palace, but he created an opportunity for Nara to ascend to the throne.

Although the two pregnant women in the palace were both enemies of the Queen, the Queen was more willing to face Ji Nai. After all, Ji Nai would not easily embarrass the Queen, and even if they were calculating against each other, they would still be friendly on the surface.

Of course, this was just the Queen's unilateral thought. The fact was that Ji Nai had never treated the Queen well. It was just that Ji Nai's past life experience had made her accustomed to the bearing and cultivation that a high-ranking concubine should have. Unless the other party was the first to flirt, she would not be quick to talk.

In Yuan Xu's words, they just like to play dirty. Ji Nai and the Queen are both respectable people, and they always use ruthless moves. They are not like that silly girl Nara, who always likes to tease others. The damage is not great, but the insult is extremely strong.

Just like the incident with Concubine Zhang, it was clearly a servant in the Queen's palace who committed treason and had no regard for the dignity of his master at all.

Originally, Ji Nai and others thought that this time, the Queen would push Zhao Ma and others to take the blame, saying that they had nothing to do with the matter and that it was all the servants' own decision.

But surprisingly, except when Ji Nai revealed the matter on the day of the visit, the queen's attitude seemed to be unaware of it. After that, the queen actually acquiesced in the matter and even hinted that Zhang's fate was all because of not following the rules.

This incident made many concubines who were ready to make a move give up their thoughts. It seemed that the queen, whose position seemed to be precarious, was still not someone to be trifled with. They decided not to take the initiative and would wait and see.

Anyway, with Ma Jia and Nara at the forefront, they might not have to take action. If they wanted to let these three fight, the fisherman would benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

Concubine Hui was even more angry. She had already planned to use Concubine Zhang to ruin the Queen's reputation.

She secretly planted a nail in Chuxiu Palace and got the news that Concubine Zhang was dragged along the way, and it was not just bleeding and looked horrible. If things went wrong, Concubine Zhang might become a cripple.

The queen ordered the palace servants to bully the concubines, and even caused them to be disabled. If the news got out, how could such a vicious and jealous queen be worthy of being the mother of the country? But before Hui Shufei could take any action, this road was blocked.

The queen sent someone to Chuxiu Palace, and no one knew what the person said, but she actually made Concubine Zhang change her words.

When Concubine Hui was preparing to take her to ask the Emperor for help, Zhang actually said that she had previously violated palace rules and slandered the Queen, but now she has come to her senses and only wants to reflect on herself in Chuxiu Palace and is ashamed to face the Emperor.

Concubine Hui couldn't believe it. Zhang had lost her daughter to the queen and became disabled because of the servants in Kunning Palace. She should hate the queen deeply. What did the queen say to Zhang that made her endure this?

Not only did he not dare to testify against the queen's atrocities, he also made excuses for the queen and told everyone that his foot was injured accidentally and it had nothing to do with the queen.

Even the victim said so, so what could Concubine Hui do even if she was unwilling?

Nanny Wu comforted the angry Concubine Hui and said, "Master, why should you be angry with such an idiot? If Concubine Zhang had a clear mind, she would not have played such a good hand so badly and ended up in such a situation."

Concubine Hui sneered, "Zhang is a fool, but she became smart for once when she was about to die."

That day, His Majesty said such words in front of everyone, which was equivalent to directly sentencing Concubine Zhang to death. In this palace, how could a low-ranking concubine with no heir and no favor live?

Under normal circumstances, the eunuchs and palace maids would not go to extremes, at most they would deduct their allowances and do things perfunctorily and slowly. After all, the situation changes over time, and it is normal for the palace to have ups and downs.

But Zhang was told by the emperor himself that if the green card was removed, she would not have to serve in the emperor's bedchamber in the future. Under such circumstances, it was very unlikely that Concubine Zhang could still get up, so those servants naturally had no scruples.

Look, the signs of the evil servants in Chuxiu Palace bullying their master have already appeared. Otherwise, if the imperial physician had been invited earlier after Concubine Zhang was dragged away from Kunning Palace, she might not have been left disabled.

But in the huge Chuxiu Palace, after Concubine Zhang was injured, everyone was in a mess, and no one thought of calling the imperial physician. In the end, it was the queen who sent someone to check on Concubine Zhang's condition and helped to call the imperial physician.

You know, a day and a night had already passed. It's hard to say whether all the servants really didn't think of this matter, or deliberately delayed so that the master couldn't get medical treatment in time, and planned to return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the master died of the injury.

Concubine Hui wanted to use Zhang to attack the queen, but the queen used this incident to intimidate the six palaces, scaring the concubines who wanted to tear a piece of flesh from the queen back and dared not act rashly. It can be said that the queen was one step ahead this time.

But when Concubine Hui became pregnant again, the situation was different.

Since becoming favored, Concubine Hui has changed from her cautious and dignified appearance to being arrogant and ignorant of the immensity of the world. After giving birth to a prince, she even dared to directly challenge the queen.

Now that she is pregnant, her arrogance will only become more arrogant. If she gives birth to another prince, I am afraid the queen will be forced to have no place to stand.

The concubines who had gathered together for warmth breathed a sigh of relief. They had originally been unwilling to see the queen re-established, but now they were just waiting for Nara to confront the queen. They really didn't dare to offend the queen, but there was someone to fight for them.
