Rong Fei is not honored

308 Rong Xian's Full Moon Banquet

But except for Concubine Sochorolo and Concubine Irgen Jueluo, everyone else was very happy. It seemed that His Majesty did not like the child in Concubine Sochorolo's belly. Even if she gave birth to a prince safely, it was not certain that Sochorolo would be promoted and surpass themselves.

Huipin saw everyone's reactions and couldn't help sneering in her heart. How come she only realized today that it was so interesting to step out and watch other people's shows?

Especially Socholo and Irgenjueluo, who were like clowns on the stage, just trying hard to perform without knowing that their true colors had already been seen through by others.

But what does this have to do with her? Since Kangxi hadn't spoken, there was no need for her to do anything unnecessary. After all, she wasn't the one being plotted against, so she just pretended she didn't know.

However, Huipin still remembered her status and stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Today, Princess Rongxian was born, and Concubine Socholo was diagnosed to be pregnant. This is a double blessing. This is all thanks to His Majesty."

Huipin did not refute Kangxi's words, saying that this was not the blessing brought by Rongxian Gege, nor did she follow Kangxi's words and offend Sochorolo and her children, but only pushed everything onto Kangxi himself.

Who dares to say that His Majesty is not blessed? Even the concubine Sochorolo, who had just been unconvinced, was speechless, and even Kangxi could not refute it.

……

After giving birth to Rongxian, Ji Nai was in good spirits. After listening to Nanny Li's report on the farce outside, she seemed to be thinking about something.

Nanny Li said angrily, "Today is the day of the master and the princess's wedding, but someone interfered. In my opinion, Concubine Suochuolo must have done it on purpose."

The servants in Zhongcui Palace could all see clearly that the relationship between His Majesty and their master was becoming increasingly deep. He even took his master's physical condition into consideration and rarely favored his concubines. It was extremely difficult for an emperor to achieve this.

Of course, everyone knew that His Majesty couldn't really remain chaste for his master, but pretending not to know would make him feel better. But Suo Cho Luo had to reveal the news of her pregnancy at this time, tearing off the last layer of cloth. Wasn't this deliberately stabbing his master in the heart?

Ji Nai did feel a little uncomfortable, but not much. Why should he deceive himself when it was obvious? Besides, he was already surprised that Kangxi could do this.

"It was intentional, it must have been intentional, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence, but I'm not sure whose idea it was."

Nanny Li seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "What does the master mean?"

Ji Nai said meaningfully: "Let Xiao Anzi investigate the Irgenjueluo clan and the Nara clan. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

Nanny Li responded, "My master is right. Concubine Suochuolo is not very thoughtful. Even if she has any thoughts, it is impossible for her to show them without leaving any traces."

"It seems that the palace has been quite lively during this period." Ji Nai slowly closed his eyes, hiding the fierce light in his eyes. It's better to be lively, so you can fish in troubled waters. Who knows, the one in Kunning Palace may have already reached a dead end.

Yuan Xu, who had been accompanying Ji Nai, was originally tired, but when she smelled the melon, she instantly stood up. However, she did not expect that the conversation between the two people seemed to be encrypted. She clearly heard the whole thing, but she was still confused and did not taste the melon at all.

However, Yuan Xu is no longer the novice in palace fighting. He already knows that there is a problem between the Irgen Jueluo and Nara families, so it is not difficult to trace back.

Since Ji Nai and Nanny Li both said that Suo Cho Luo was a simple-minded person, then this matter was most likely not done by her. At least, she was not the mastermind. What's worse, she was also being plotted against and was just a pawn in the hands of others.

The most likely person, of course, is Irgen Jueluo, who is closest to Sochoolo. After all, it is easier to succeed if you commit a crime with someone you know.

The reason why she suspected Nara was probably because of the power in the palace she held. If Irgen Jueluo really wanted to do something, no movement would be hidden from Nara's eyes. Therefore, either Nara did not notice anything unusual, or she did it on purpose.

So, what role did Nara play in this matter?

"It seems that your ally has too many little tricks up his sleeve."

[No matter how many little tricks she has, her primary target now will not be me. ]

"What if? After all, you are also her opponent."

[Both she and I would suffer losses, and the one who would benefit the most would be the Queen. With Nara's hatred for the Queen, she would never want to see such a scene. So, even if she knew that this was the best time to deal with me, she would not take action unless she was absolutely sure.]

"So, the Queen is still your life-saving talisman?"

【You can say that. 】

"That won't be long. According to history, Hesheli died next year."

[Don't worry, I won't let her live longer than in her previous life. ]

Suddenly, Yuan Xu seemed to have thought of something and asked, "If that's the case, what about Yinreng? Will he still be born?"

[I don't know, let it go.] In fact, Ji Nai had already guessed that "Crown Prince Yinreng" would still be born in this life.

After all, Kangxi hated Hesheli deeply and it was difficult to change her. If she wanted to turn things around, she could only rely on an heir. Under normal circumstances, this child would not come unless special means were used.

It was precisely this unpresentable method that would become Hesheli's death warrant, making Kangxi unable to tolerate her anymore.

But even if Hesheli knew this, she had no choice. This was her only lifeline. Even if she could not save her own life, it would become an opportunity for the Hesheli family, and she had no choice but to accept it.

"How can we just let it go? Don't you know what Yinreng's existence means to Kangxi's other children? Besides, we may fight for the position of crown prince, but the crown prince is the legitimate heir. What if Yinreng is not deposed in this life?"

【Given the relationship between Kangxi and I, and Kangxi's attitude towards the Queen, even if Yinreng still becomes the Crown Prince, he will no longer be Kangxi's favorite. Besides, what about the Crown Prince?

In history, there were only a few princes who had a good ending. As long as Kangxi lived long enough, Prince Yinreng could only be a loser.

Furthermore, I also considered that with five sons and one daughter, Zhongcui Palace was destined to be unable to keep a low profile. With four brothers to help, even if they didn't mean that, they would still be a threat in the eyes of other princes. With a target in front of them, Chengrui and the others would be safer. 】

"Okay, then let's just let nature take its course and not get involved in these matters." Yuan Xu was persuaded by Ji Nai. To be honest, it was a good thing that Ji Nai had a clean hand, as it would allow him to walk more steadily.

……

Rongxian's full-month banquet was very grand, which was incomparable to that of his elder brothers and sisters. However, due to various reasons, the full-month banquets of the eldest son Chengrui and the legitimate son Chenghu were not grand, let alone those of others.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone's face was filled with joy and the entire full moon banquet was lively and bustling.

Even the Empress Dowager, who always disliked Ji Nai and criticized him from time to time, did not spoil the atmosphere today. Instead, she acted as if she liked Rong Xian very much.

Of course, the Empress Dowager was not pretending, but really liked Rongxian. When getting close to a princess, there was no need to weigh the pros and cons, and to grasp the right degree. In fact, the Empress Dowager liked the princess very much, but rather than saying she liked her, it would be more appropriate to say she made up for her.

At the beginning, because Zhezhe gave birth to daughters one after another, the Empress Dowager had to marry her uncle for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia. However, she, like her aunt Zhezhe, gave birth to three princesses in a row.

At that time, when people around them openly or secretly mocked them for being women in Khorchin who could only give birth to daughters, the enormous pressure almost overwhelmed the Empress Dowager and Zhezhe. This was also one of the reasons why Hai Lanzhu later entered the palace.

Later, although the Empress Dowager gave birth to Fulin, Huang Taiji had been deeply bewitched by the poison of love and no longer seemed like an emperor. For the deaths of the Eighth Prince and Hai Lanzhu, he carried out a large-scale massacre in the palace and even pointed the butcher knife at the concubines.

The Empress Dowager, who had a rift with Hai Lanzhu and the sisters became estranged, was obviously the first to be affected. But no matter how the Empress Dowager explained, Huang Taiji, who had lost his beloved son, would not listen. If it were not for his aunt Zhezhe who desperately protected him, there would not have been the Empress Dowager later.
