Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 344: Food or Not

The longer time passed, the more people realized that something was wrong. It seemed that the Empress Dowager was deliberately delaying time and detaining them here. No one outside knew what was happening.

What was hateful was that they dared not do anything in front of the Grand Empress Dowager, nor should they have ruined the Grand Empress Dowager's mood by suggesting leaving.

It was not until noon that a concubine boldly reminded: "Grand Empress Dowager, it's already noon."

Someone immediately agreed, "Yes, Sister Rongpin, Prince Chengrui should have finished school by now, right?" Aren't you going back to see the child?

All the concubines had been feeling uneasy for a long time, but none of them wanted to speak up. However, Rongpin and Huipin were like saw-mouthed gourds and just refused to speak. It was really infuriating.

In fact, Huipin was also a little uneasy, but Ma Jia, who was opposite her, was always calm. Huipin subconsciously believed her and accompanied the Empress Dowager in the performance. When someone mentioned Chengrui, Huipin looked at Rongpin, wondering how she would react.

Not only her, but everyone in the hall, including the Empress Dowager, focused their attention on Ji Nai.

Ji Nai had already received the news from Kangxi a few days ago, and had already plugged the loophole. She knew that a palace search could not be carried out by only the Empress Dowager's people, Kangxi would also send people to follow them, and the two sides would check and balance each other, thus eliminating the possibility of deliberate frame-up.

What was there for Ji Nai to worry about? In the minds of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, she had always been known as an obedient and polite person, so she would naturally not destroy the Great Wall herself.

But these people were unwilling to take the lead, so they used Chengrui as an example. Ji Nai was a little unhappy, and looked at the person who was talking with a fake smile, and said: "Chengrui is accompanied by servants. Even if his people are very brave, they dare not starve the prince just because Chengrui is young."

After a pause, Ji Nai looked at the seat where the Empress Dowager was supposed to sit but was empty today, and continued:

"Besides, although Chengrui is used to coming to Zhongcui Palace to pay his respects to me after school, if he can't find anyone, he will go to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. Could it be that his grandmother will not give him food?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and agreed, "Of course, Saiyinchahun is a naughty boy, and only Chengrui can control him. Wuyunna will definitely be happy that Chengrui has gone to Shoukang Palace."

"The Empress Dowager won't let Chengrui starve, so will the Grand Empress Dowager give me food?"

Huipin saw what Rongpin meant. She wanted to help the Empress Dowager keep the person. She thought about it and said, "I am a little hungry too. I wonder if I have the honor to taste the food in Cining Palace."

The Empress Dowager was cheerful and asked people to prepare it quickly. "I was so happy that I forgot about lunch. Tell the people in the kitchen to prepare it quickly. Don't let Rongpin and Suochuolo go hungry."

Everyone was stunned. They could have taken this opportunity to resign from the Empress Dowager. Why did Rongpin and Huipin refuse to leave the Cining Palace? Aren't they worried?

Some clever ones have already guessed that Rongpin and Huipin must have received the news in advance, which is why they are not in a hurry. Unlike them, they are now full of anxiety, afraid that something might happen to them.

This was a misunderstanding of Huipin. She didn't know what had happened, but she believed Rongpin. Recalling everything that had happened since she entered the palace, one could come to a surprising conclusion: Over the years, except for the few times when she was plotted against by Hesheli, Rongpin had hardly made any mistakes.

In addition, since Rongpin wanted to join forces with her, she would naturally not sit idly by and watch her get into trouble, so Huipin was confident that she would be fine.

At this moment, what she cared about was that the Grand Empress Dowager mentioned Socho Luo and Rongpin together. These two people had no connection in any way, but why did the Grand Empress Dowager mention them together?

Logically, the ones who spoke just now were Rongpin and myself, and they were the only two with the highest status. Even if someone was to be mentioned, it should be myself and Rongpin.

If the purpose was to show the importance of the vicious royal heir in Sochorolo's belly, the three of them should have been mentioned at the same time, but the Empress Dowager left herself out.

Suddenly, Huipin remembered the strange behavior of Ma Jiashi that she had accidentally seen in Kunning Palace that day. No way? How could Ma Jiashi be so lucky?

Huipin desperately began to search for the few memories of Rongfei Ma Jia in her mind. She only vaguely remembered that she gave birth to five sons and one daughter, but in the end only Rongxian and the last born Yinzhi survived.

However, it is not clear when the first four children were born. After all, these children died young and were not ranked in order, and there are very few historical records of them.

Huipin only regretted that she had never paid attention to this knowledge before, which made her head almost bald now. However, she was already far behind Ma Jiashi, and she couldn't lose to her again. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. She must understand Ma Jiashi.

Since the memories of her past life could not help her cheat, Huipin could only deduce it herself.

In history, Yinzhi was the third prince, born after Crown Prince Chenghu and before the fourth prince Yinzhen.

(Some people speculate that Yinzhen was the adopted son of Empress Xiaoyiren, and that Yongzheng simply used this to flatter himself after he ascended to the throne.

In fact, as the highest-ranking concubine in Kangxi's harem for a long time, Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia briefly took care of many princes, including the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and the Eighth Prince Yinsi.

Just for the sake of drama, and to reasonably explain why Consort De Uya was so partial, Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was set as the barrier between mother and son, and this article also adopts this setting.)

She didn't know the exact year when Yinzhen was born. She only remembered that after the future Defei Uya entered the palace, she first worked as a palace maid for several years. Because Concubine Tong Jia had been infertile for a long time, she gave the child to Concubine Tong Jia to raise, and then was promoted to Depin.

This was the time when she caught up with the second grand enthronement ceremony for the six palaces, and she immediately became one of the four concubines, surpassing Rongpin, Huiyi Derong, and ranked third.

However, there was no trace of Uya in the first grand canonization of the six palaces. In history, she was the only one who was canonized as Depin. Uya was born into a bannerman family and could only be selected to enter the palace.

After Kangxi ascended the throne, the Tongjia clan, her mother's clan, successfully crossed the class barrier from the Manchu Zhenghuang Banner to the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, which was affiliated with the Han Army Banner. Naturally, the Imperial Noble Consort Tongjia was selected to enter the palace. In August of the same year, she was canonized as a noble concubine.

Next year is the thirteenth year of Kangxi's reign, the year of the general election. However, because the "Queen is seriously ill", Kangxi intends to cancel the election. The next general election will be in the sixteenth year of Kangxi's reign.
