Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 204: Title Glory

But unfortunately, the queen was not a qualified queen. If Kangxi went to find the queen, she would not only not handle the matter, but might add fuel to the fire and eliminate the opponent Ma Jia.

The Empress Dowager understood that Kangxi might indeed be dissatisfied with Ma Jia's behavior of pestering him, but because of his guilt, he could not vent his anger.

It just so happened that those people in the harem, unaware of the whole story, began to feel jealous and stir up trouble, and even affected the emperor's own reputation. Now, they ran into trouble.

The Empress Dowager had received such a great benefit, so she naturally wanted to return the favor and help Kangxi, so she said straightforwardly: "Ma Jia is prudent and mature, and pure and innocent, but she was envied by a group of concubines and spread rumors to slander her.

This matter should not have been my business, but the Queen was under house arrest, and it was difficult to stabilize the harem, so I took the lead, gave them a small punishment and a big warning, and asked them to copy the Diamond Sutra twenty times to wash away the filth in their hearts. "

"Ma Jia has also been wronged, so why not reward her as well?"

When the Empress Dowager had Ma Jia's child, she had been thinking of promoting her so that the child could be more respectable. However, it was Kangxi who took the initiative to speak up, which showed that she had already made plans in her mind.

"Your Majesty, how do you think we can appease Ma Jia?"

The comfort mentioned here is not only that she was slandered by rumors, but also that she gave up a child to the empress dowager. This is a grievance, but not really a grievance. It all depends on what Kangxi thinks.

"How about giving me a title?"

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. A title was always better than a promotion.

The Grand Empress Dowager understood that on the surface Ma Jia wanted to seek asylum, so she wanted to entrust the child to the Empress Dowager, but the Emperor and she herself knew that this was the Grand Empress Dowager's intention.

Therefore, asking Kangxi for his opinion was actually a test by the Empress Dowager.

If the reward was too much, it meant that Kangxi was dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager, so he tried his best to make it up to Ma Jiashi. But if it was just right, then it would be nothing.

"Virtuous and virtuous, which word do you think is better?"

"What do you think of the word Rong, Grandmother?"

The Empress Dowager frowned, wondering if this word was too noble. Although it was not as noble as "宸", because it was a nickname for the emperor, symbolizing a very high status and nobility, it was not comparable to ordinary words.

It should be noted that words such as virtuous, good, virtuous, virtuous, or kind, cautious, and honest are all used to describe women's good qualities and often appear in the harem.

But words like "Gui", "Chen", "Rong" etc are different. They themselves have beautiful meanings and symbolize nobility. When used on concubines in the harem, they further reflect the emperor's favor.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the four concubines in the system of concubines were noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous, with the word "noble" being the most respected. In later generations, the status of the noble concubine was elevated to a separate rank, not on the same level as the concubine.

Therefore, although the emperor did not promote Ma Jia, he gave her such a noble title. What was his intention? Was he really so dissatisfied with the fact that Shoukang Palace was raising the prince?

Kangxi saw the Empress Dowager's disapproval, but he did not panic. He just explained slowly: "Ma Jia is about to give birth, and I should have rewarded her. However, her position in the harem has not been determined yet, so I cannot promote her again."

"Your Majesty means that after Ma Jia gives birth, there will be no more rewards?"

"Of course." Kangxi wanted to promote Ji Nai, but that would make her too conspicuous. You know, under the empress, there was only Ji Nai, and the rest were concubines.

Furthermore, even if having a son was a meritorious deed, if he was promoted too quickly, it might cause complaints from the previous dynasty, so Kangxi thought it would be better to take it slow.

If this was the case, the Empress Dowager would have no objection. One compensation, one reward, the two combined into one, and changing the word "Rong" as the title was not excessive.

But the Empress Dowager thought it was nothing, but other people in the palace thought it was a big deal. It was clearly Ma Jia's behavior that was not careful, always going to the Qianqing Palace, so why did they say something was a big deal when Ma Jia did it?

Why should they be punished, but Ma Jia was rewarded instead, with such a noble title as "Rong"?

In Kunning Palace, the Queen smiled bitterly. His Majesty really didn't care about her as his first wife at all. The Queen was supposed to make the decision on the affairs of the concubines in the harem, but she didn't know about Ma Jia's title of Rongpin until the decree came down.

Didn't His Majesty say that he was too busy to decide the ranks of concubines? But, didn't His Majesty care about Ma Jia, Nara, Rongpin, and Huishufei?

In the Yanx Palace, Concubine Hui was immersed in the grief of losing her son. Even when Kangxi came over during this period, she remained indifferent.

In order to encourage her master to cheer up and complete what the Emperor wanted her to do as soon as possible, Nanny Wu told her master about the title bestowed upon Ma Jia. Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui did not react at all.

Nanny Wu was a little surprised. She didn't know this master's temperament completely, but she knew a lot about it. He was arrogant and proud, but not vicious enough to kill people. He was narrow-minded and not the kind of generous and virtuous person.

So, why didn't you react at all when you heard that someone you once looked down upon had received such an honor?

How could Nanny Wu know that if it were the original Nala, she would indeed care about it. Although the word "Hui" was not bad, it would be compared to the word "Rong" and would be looked like trash.

But the current Concubine Hui is a soul from the future, so she naturally knows that Ma Jia's original title was Rong. Everything is just proceeding according to the original trajectory. If Ma Jia had a different title, she might have paid some attention to it.

Moreover, the word "Rong" seems noble, but if the person is not blessed and cannot bear this nobility, he will only become a joke in the end. Just like in the previous life, Hui Yi De Rong, everyone knows that Ma Jia is the most miserable among the four concubines.

This favorite concubine of Kangxi in his early years ended up becoming a joke.

Nanny Wu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Concubine Hui. She said impatiently, "Nanny, Ma Jia is just an idiot. I don't need to pay too much attention to her. Cheng Qing just left, and I really don't have the mood to think about anything else."

Nanny Wu took the opportunity to persuade him, "It is precisely because the prince is gone that the master should cheer up. Now that the queen is imprisoned, everything will be calm. If she comes out, what will happen to the little prince in your belly!"

Speaking of the Queen, Concubine Hui could not suppress the hatred in her heart. Her Chengqing, her Chengqing, now she dared not close her eyes. Once she closed her eyes, she would see the child's final appearance, which made her breathless with pain.

Perhaps it was because she had been too busy recently, Concubine Hui suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. Could something really have happened to her stomach?
