Rong Fei is not honored

Only Rongpin Ma Jia and Huipin Nara remained calm. Although they showed surprise at times, they soon returned to normal.

But in fact, only the former was truly calm. Although the latter, Huipin, did not show any sign on her face, her heart was actually in turmoil.

Huipin quickly recalled in her mind whether there was anything wrong in her palace. She found that apart from the incident with Chenghu, she was innocent and there was nothing harmful in the palace. She immediately felt relieved.

As for whether someone deliberately put something in there to frame her, Huipin thought it was impossible. No one had expected the Empress Dowager to do this today, unless someone could predict the future.

Thinking of this, Huipin couldn't help cursing. It was really Ma Jia who was such a jerk. She probably knew about this from Kangxi a long time ago, but didn't tell her in advance. What if she was blinded by greed? Is this how an ally should be?

The Empress Dowager ignored everyone's tactful "questions" and only signaled the nanny who was sent to supervise the matter to come forward and answer.

The maid handed over a thick booklet and reported, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, there are problems in the six palaces, but most of them are left over from the previous dynasty, and the medicine is not as effective as before."

Everyone was so frightened when they saw the booklet that they wished it would spontaneously combust. But when they heard Mammy's reply, they were all confused. What did she mean by "there is something wrong with everything"? What did she mean by "left over from the previous dynasty"? What did she mean by "the medicine is not as effective as before"?

The concubines were stunned by the series of news and were at a loss. They subconsciously looked at Rongpin and Huipin, hoping that they could step forward and help figure out what had happened.

This time, Ji Nai did not remain silent. He carefully asked, "The Empress Dowager searched the palace today for the poison left over from the previous dynasty?"

"Alas, the harems of every dynasty have been plagued by endless fighting. Although I know about this, I have never taken it to heart. However, the royal family has lost its descendants, as did the previous emperor and the emperor. How can I not be worried?"

"It is my fault that I failed to give birth to an heir for His Majesty." This time, it was Concubine Irgen Juelu who spoke.

Although the Empress Dowager did not mean to blame anyone in her words, it was these "useless" concubines who were to blame for making her worry about the Emperor's offspring.

Even though Rongpin and Huipin were the top concubines, both of them had children. Huipin was pregnant three times and gave birth to two sons, and Rongpin had two sons and one daughter. In any case, it was not their turn to say this.

So, it was the childless concubine Irgen Juelu who should represent the Empress Dowager and apologize to her. Under her robe, Irgen Juelu's concubine pinched her hands until they bled.

Today's incident further strengthened her determination to raise a child.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and asked Concubine Irgen Juelu to stand up. "I know that you are all good children. If you have any health problems, your families will not send you to the palace." Even if they were sent here, they would not be able to pass the selection.

"So I have been wondering, where exactly the problem lies?" Of course, it cannot be that there is something wrong with Kangxi's health, nor can we blame Kangxi for not wanting to go to their palace. We can only say that we are useless.

Ji Nai suddenly thought of something and said, "I don't like the furnishings in the palace, so I decorated the bedroom myself. I did this when I lived in the side hall before, and I did the same when I moved into the main hall later."

Everyone looked at Ji Nai in unison, the light in their eyes seemed to burn a hole in Ji Nai. Could this be the key to Rongpin's many children and good fortune?

Some people secretly resented Ma Jia for knowing that there were problems with the furnishings in the palace but refusing to say anything and enjoying all the benefits for herself, so they began to attack Ji Nai.

Some people were worried that they hadn't received any good news for a long time because they had been harmed by the poison left over from the previous dynasty. Didn't they hear what the maid said about the medicine being less effective? In other words, it hadn't lost its effect yet, so they started shouting for the imperial physician.

Some people also noticed the word "most" mentioned by the nanny in her report, which means that not all poisons belonged to the previous dynasty. These people's faces were pale, and they seemed exceptionally quiet among the boiling crowd.

Everyone was talking at once, making a lot of noise, and even Su Malagu shouted for silence several times, but it was useless. Who wouldn't be excited when it came to their most important interests?

"Bang!" The Empress Dowager smashed a teacup, and the hall finally became quiet.

"I have already sent someone to call the imperial physician. Just wait." The Empress Dowager flipped through the book in her hand without changing her expression, as if she was not the one who smashed the things just now.

The Empress Dowager turned to a page, stopped, looked up at Ji Nai, and said, "Your palace is indeed the cleanest. Except for the main hall and the side hall where you lived, there are inappropriate things in other places."

Ji Nai patted his chest in fear, "Fortunately, fortunately I thought of doing it in a comfortable way, otherwise, wouldn't it have harmed Cheng Rui and the others?"

Some people in the audience secretly curled their lips, saying that if that were really the case, perhaps Prince Chengrui and the others would not have been born.

"You are a lucky person. I have already sent people to move out the defective items. When you return, they will be replaced with new ones."

The concubines all agreed, but they were thinking in their hearts, who would dare to put things around randomly? When they returned, they would definitely throw away the things around the empty space.

The Imperial Household Department was really something. They were responsible for the facilities in the palace, but they were so negligent that they left so many problematic items. However, they did not dare to speak out. After all, before they entered the palace, the Empress Dowager had always been in control of the harem.

After the imperial physician arrived, the Empress Dowager asked the concubines to see the doctor one by one.

First, it was Ji Nai and the others. Huipin, Yiergenjueluo concubines, and Suochuolo concubines were not seriously injured. After the imperial physician who took Ji Nai's pulse, he reported back: "Master Rongpin's pregnancy is stable."

This statement caused a great stir, and everyone looked at Ji Nai in disbelief. She was pregnant again. And it seemed that the Empress Dowager also knew about this, so she was on guard against them.

While the imperial doctors were examining the concubines behind them, Concubine Irgen Jueluo gritted her teeth and asked, "Sister Rongpin is pregnant again. I don't know how many months it has been. I am here to congratulate you."

Yuan Xu complained: "Why do these people like sisters? Don't you feel disgusted? They call me so affectionate, my teeth must be broken."

Ji Nai smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, it's been five months." After that, Ji Nai put his hands on his lower abdomen, and his loose outer robe revealed his already protruding belly.

It’s been five months! Everyone was shocked again. She got pregnant right after the confinement period.

Before Concubine Irgen Juelu wanted to say something, she heard someone exclaiming, "Sister Zhaojia is pregnant too?" Concubine Irgen Juelu's face turned dark. How come everyone was pregnant but she wasn't?
