Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 246 Kangxi's Decree

Only Irgen Jueluo, who was on good terms with her, came over, held Suochuoro's hand, and consoled her, "Don't worry, I know you have no ill intentions, and others may know about this, and they won't report this to His Majesty."

"Even if you sue me, I'm not afraid. It's just a question, why be so rude?"

"If you don't want the other party to be so rude, why do you have to offend others when you open your mouth?"

"Where can I have it?"

"Not yet. Rongpin is the head of the palace, so how can she not be considered the person in charge? You mentioned the queen in front of her, but you didn't acknowledge her status. No wonder she spoke so ruthlessly."

"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask why His Majesty didn't come."

"You are so confused! How can we spy on His Majesty's whereabouts? Even if Rongpin knew, why would she tell you?"

"I, I didn't mean that."

Yiergen Jueluo saw the dissatisfaction on his friend's face and shook off his hand. "If you are still not in your right mind, I will not dare to associate with you anymore."

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Irgen Jueluo lowered her voice and asked, "Do you feel that Rongpin made you lose face, so you hate her?"

"I didn't!" Sochorolo said stubbornly.

"Oh, I didn't know you. You have a heart smaller than the eye of a needle. I'm afraid you've already resented Rongpin for being so rude to you just now, and are thinking of taking revenge on her in the future."

"So what? Rongpin's face has been ruined. Without His Majesty's favor, what does it matter?"

"Even if she is no longer favored, she is still the head of the palace, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, and she has two princes. Tell me, what is she?

Besides, even if Rongpin has fallen out of favor, it doesn't mean that this favor will fall on you. What confidence do you have to confront Rongpin?"

Seeing the discontent on Suochuoro's face, Yiergenjueluo sighed and said, "If you insist on going against Rongpin, then we should stop interacting with each other, so as not to be implicated by you."

Seeing that Irgen Jueluo was serious, Socho Luo had no choice but to give in and quickly promised that she would not cause trouble for Concubine Rong.

Ji Nai didn't care about the farce around him, but Nanny Li couldn't turn a blind eye. She secretly took note of Socho Luo and Irgen Jueluo, who was on good terms with her, and decided to ask Xiao Anzi to send someone to watch these two people after she returned.

In this palace, just because of a word or a look, you can make an enemy without even knowing it.

It may not be obvious at normal times, but at the critical moment, it is very likely to come out and add insult to injury, becoming the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

As time passed, a baby's cry was finally heard in the house, but it did not sound as strong as Chengrui and Saiyinchahun's.

The midwife came out holding a bright yellow swaddling cloth, but she didn't know who to give the baby to.

It was Ji Nai who took the initiative to step forward and take a look, but did not touch them directly. He asked in a gentle voice, "How are the prince and Concubine Hui?"

"Concubine Hui is in good health, just a little tired. My brother is a little weak, but the imperial physician has examined him and it is not serious. He will be fine after some rest."

"That's good. Take the prince back now. Don't let him get cold."

Since the child had been born, there was no need for Ji Nai and others to stay any longer. They were preparing to leave, but before they walked out of the Yanx Palace, they saw Liang Jiugong coming with his men.

Ji Nai was surprised, and the concubines behind her looked at each other in bewilderment. Liang Jiugong came so quickly. Could it be that although the Emperor did not come to the Yanx Palace in person, he had been paying attention to the movements of Concubine Hui?

If this is the case, then wouldn't their previous plans have come to naught? If a prince is raised by one's own knees, there is no need to worry about not having a bright future. Those who have grievances with Concubine Hui will not be able to retaliate.

Liang Jiugong bowed to all the concubines, and then explained to Ji Nai: "I am here to announce the decree."

Ji Nai understood from Liang Jiugong's hint in his eyes that this decree might not be a good thing, so he smiled and said, "Since it is a decree for Concubine Hui, then I will not stay any longer."

He left immediately after saying this, his movements flowing smoothly without any pause.

The other concubines were stunned. How could Rongpin leave so quickly? Some of the remaining concubines wanted to stay and listen to the will of His Majesty, but since Rongpin had left, they couldn't stay any longer.

Especially, seeing Liang Jiugong's smiling face which showed no joy at all, the concubine who had originally planned to stay in Yanxi Palace felt uneasy and left.

On the way, Nanny Li asked curiously, "Why is the master walking so fast?"

This was also what Yuan Xu was puzzled about. Ji Nai was not going to answer at first, but Yuan Xu was too talkative. He had no choice but to explain: "Didn't you see that Liang Jiugong's expression was not right? He was hinting at me to leave quickly just now?"

"Is there?" Yuan Xu asked confusedly.

Nanny Li recalled carefully and said uncertainly: "It seems that Liang Jiugong was a little strange just now."

"Obviously, this decree is not a reward, but most likely a punishment for Nara. So, why should we stay? Seeing them in such a miserable state, will it make us feel better?"

"The master is kind-hearted and has no deep hatred for the Nara clan, so she naturally thinks so. However, the others may not think so. Afterwards, they may regret not having witnessed Concubine Hui's downfall, and may even blame you."

"It doesn't matter. If someone really regards me as an enemy because of this, then he probably doesn't have any brains. There's no need to worry about him."

In the Yanx Palace, the exhausted Concubine Hui refused to rest and stared at the child's face.

Concubine Hui tried hard to find similarities between the child's face and Chengqing, but to her disappointment, she was unable to reconcile this childish face with the Chengqing in her memory.

Nanny Wu saw her master's disappointment and comforted her, "The little prince was just born, and his face hasn't grown yet. But when he grows up, he will definitely look a lot like our prince. They are brothers."

"Really?" Concubine Hui looked at Nanny Wu expectantly.

"Of course. As the old saying goes, children grow with the wind and change every day. When the little prince is one month old, we can roughly see his future face shape and facial features."

"That's good." The satisfied Concubine Hui felt that she was about to be overwhelmed by fatigue. She finally lay down to rest and fell asleep almost in the next second.

But at this moment, Liang Jiugong came with the Emperor's decree.

Concubine Hui had a bad feeling in her heart. She didn't think Liang Jiugong came here at this time to reward her for having a son. She knew very well that in Kangxi's heart, she was just a sinner who did things for Kangxi to redeem his life.

Through a screen and a door, Liang Jiugong's voice still came through clearly and struck heavily into Concubine Hui's heart.

"Your Majesty has issued an order that Concubine Hui Nara of the Yanxi Palace has been promoted to Concubine Hui for her meritorious service in giving birth to a son."

After these words were spoken, everyone around Concubine Hui could not hide their joy. During this period, there were rumors in the palace that the death of Prince Chenghu was related to their master, and later Cui Xin was directly taken away by the people of the Ministry of Punishment.

How could the people below not be nervous? Now, their master is now the head of a palace and can be on equal footing with the one in Zhongcui Palace.

Now that the queen has lost her power and the other concubines are all concubines, if she is more ambitious, it is not a foolish dream to enter Kunning Palace. It can be said that Liang Jiugong's decree made everyone's heart burn with excitement.

But correspondingly, Li Shufei, who lived in the same Yanxi Palace, was not so happy. Who could have thought that Nara was so lucky that she could give birth to a prince safely again and was even made a concubine.

You know, the position of concubine in Zhongcui Palace was obtained by giving away the child to Shoukang Palace, but this one lost nothing and gained everything.

What scares Li Shufei even more is that when Shufei Hui, no, now she is Concubine Hui, comes to her senses, she will not deal with her, right? How can a concubine like her withstand the difficulties of the master?

"Eunuch Liang, you must have made a mistake. It is our duty to give birth to children for His Majesty. We dare not take credit for it, let alone occupy a high position." Nara's voice was trembling as she spoke.

No one expected that Nara would say this. Could it be that this near-death experience changed Nara's temperament, from his previous arrogance to another extreme?
