Rong Fei is not honored
Chapter 279 Quietly Working Hard
Xiao Anzi was very excited. He was a little puzzled at first. His master was obviously the number one person in the palace, but he was very low-key and even seemed unwilling to take charge of things.
The servants in the palace were discussing the matter in private, and none of the words they said were very nice. Xiao Anzi didn't want to pollute his master's ears, but he was anxious in his heart. If this continued, his master's reputation of being of humble origin and unworthy of important tasks would be hard to wash away.
But I didn't expect that the master would make a stunning debut if he didn't make a sound, or soar to the sky if he didn't fly. This move today was enough to shock most people in the palace.
As Xiao Anzi left, his back revealed a positive attitude. Li Ma saw this and helped explain, "Xiao Anzi is not a power-hungry person. It's just that the master has power but doesn't use it, so people will always look down on him."
"I know, but I'm sorry to disappoint Xiao Anzi. Zhongcui Palace will have to keep a low profile for a long time. The power of the palace was given by His Majesty, and I cannot refuse it, but I don't want to be too involved, at least not now."
Although Nanny Li did not understand her master's intention, since the master had already made the decision, they, as servants, could not go against the master.
Ji Nai had no intention of hiding it from them. After observing them for so long, she knew clearly how loyal Li Ma and the others were.
It can be said that it was thanks to Kangxi's concern at the time that he specially selected a group of good ones, and also thanks to Ji Nai's good management skills and the use of both power and kindness. From the very beginning, he suppressed the servants in Zhongcui Palace so tightly that they could not have any evil thoughts.
"Madam, what do you think of my chances of having children?"
"The master is naturally extremely blessed."
She became pregnant twice in four years, and both times she gave birth to a prince safely. Not to mention the ladies in the palace, even the ladies outside the palace were envious and wished they could have such good fortune.
"But before, when that person was there, everyone was trembling with fear."
Nanny Li understood what her master meant, but pregnancy was destined by heaven and one could not get pregnant just because one wanted to. She was afraid that her master's expectations were too high and she would not be able to accept it in the end.
"Mammy, although I am not old, I am already an elder in the palace and I have given birth to two children. If there are new people entering the palace in the future, how should I deal with it?"
Ji Nai naturally would not tell Nanny Li that she would be pregnant soon. She could only explain it by saying that she was worried that she would fall out of favor if a new person entered the palace.
Li Ma Ma advised: "Since the master is worried about the future, why does he refuse the power that is actually in his hands and only think about having another child?"
In Li Ma's opinion, the master was clearly picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Of course, she didn't mean to say that the royal heir was a sesame seed, but that the royal heir was only a possibility.
"Really? Madam, who am I? I am just a concubine. Even if I have a firm control over the harem, I am still not legitimate after all."
Nanny Li was shocked. She was almost blinded by her master's favor during this period.
The master is right. Even though the queen has fallen into such a situation and seems to have no chance of turning things around, anything can happen in this palace. After all, the other party holds a nominal position.
Even if Hesheli could never get up again, would it always be like this? His Majesty was in his prime and looked healthy, so how could he keep a crazy queen?
When the new queen enters the palace, all the efforts made now will be wasted. Not only will they have to hand over power honestly, but they may also become a thorn in the eyes of the new queen.
What the master said was the most unreliable, but it was something that no one could take away at that time. What the palace values is not status, favor, and offspring, but the first two are all placed on others.
The only thing is that no one can take away the offspring, unless they have committed a heinous crime, like my eldest brother’s biological mother, Zhang, and the Emperor does not recognize their mother-daughter relationship.
Moreover, with a child by her side, even if the master makes a mistake in the future, the Emperor will not really do anything to the master for the sake of the princes, just like the Queen and Concubine Hui.
Thinking of this, Nanny Li, who had thought that her master had something wrong with his brain just a moment ago, began to admire her master's wisdom.
That is, everyone wants to conceive a royal heir, but it is not something that can come true just by wanting it.
Ji Nai naturally understood Li Ma's worries, and sighed, saying, "Whether my expectations can come true or not, the power of the palace is a hot potato. After the fire is boiling, the prosperity will inevitably decline."
"My master is right. We have two princes in Zhongcui Palace, which is already eye-catching enough. We really shouldn't be more high-profile. However, who does my master plan to push to the front, Concubine Irgen Juelu?" Nanny Li couldn't help but frown.
There have been rumors rife recently, but Nanny Li thought that it might be news released by Concubine Irgen Juelu just to raise her own status, or it might be that someone wanted to harm Concubine Irgen Juelu, and the rumor was just to flatter her, but it couldn't be true.
Furthermore, Concubine Irgen Juelu was unfavored, childless, and had no family background. Her rise to power was too strange and too superficial, like a castle in the air without any support.
Even if such a person is praised by his master, facing the foundation of everyone in the harem, he would not be able to withstand it and would be easily crushed to pieces.
"Of course it's not her. Madam, what do you think of Concubine Hui?"
"Princess Hui?" Nanny Li was stunned.
Huipin was indeed a suitable candidate. When she was still a concubine, she dared to confront the empress who had not yet lost power, let alone a group of concubines of lower status than herself.
However, after the incident involving Prince Chenghu not long ago, Huipin was indeed promoted, but any discerning person could see that she had fallen out of favor, and even her child had been sent out of the palace.
Under such circumstances, would Concubine Hui dare to step forward?
Nanny Li asked her doubts, and Ji Nai smiled confidently and said, "She will, she will."
There are mothers like the queen who only treat their children as tools, and there are naturally mothers who love their children. Under normal circumstances, for a mother, her children are priceless treasures, and nothing can compare to them. How can there be a reason for a life to be exchanged for another life?
Chenghu was dead, but the queen was still alive, and the hatred would not disappear. Nara had to bury the hatred just for the future of her other child, but it could be rekindled with just a fire.
"Mammy, go and ask Huipin to come to Zhongcui Palace and tell her that there has been a lot of unbearable commotion in the palace recently and I need to discuss something with her."
"Yes." Nanny Zhao took the order and left.
Ji Nai returned to Zhongcui Palace, thinking about what was about to happen next. He deduced several possible situations in his mind and came up with corresponding solutions. After making sure that there were no omissions, he began to close his eyes and rest with peace of mind.
Yuan Xu looked at Ji Nai quietly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her. So, it was not that Ji Nai was better than others because of her past life experience. No one was her opponent. She was just thinking one step ahead of others at every moment.
Yuan Xu suddenly felt a little powerless. Apart from the things left by the system, he could only serve as a monitor, and his range was limited.
The key is that no matter how powerful those spiritual liquids are, they have nothing to do with me. Yuan Xu remembered what Ji Nai said when he teased me before. She said that if I could also give some advice, then she would be more relaxed.
Yuan Xu suddenly felt that it made sense. Didn’t Ji Nai grow from a simple little girl to a master of palace fighting? Since she could do it, then he could do it too.
Yuan Xu decided to start studying from now on, quietly, and then wait until the day he graduated to successfully amaze Ji Nai.
Huipin arrived very quickly, and Ji Nai guessed that Nara left as soon as she received the news, without even changing her clothes.
This is indeed the case. For Huipin, a woman dresses up to please herself. Since she has completely fallen out of favor with Kangxi, it is up to her own wishes whether to dress up or not and how to dress up.
Ma Jiajinai was not worth her effort to dress up. Of course Huipin refused to admit it, because with that face, it would be useless no matter how well she dressed up.
"Sister Ma Jia has always liked quietness and never made friends with others. I wanted to ask for a few cups of tea several times in the past, but was rejected. Why did Sister Ma Jia think of me today?"
Whenever Huipin thought about how she had been treated coldly when she first approached him, and then Majia and Borjigit got together, she felt uncomfortable. Therefore, when she opened her mouth, her words were full of sarcasm.
