Rong Fei is not honored

Ji Nai also knew that no one would believe what she said, and she was not pregnant or in confinement. If she continued to close the palace gates and refuse visitors, she would definitely be known as "arrogant" and "domineering".

You know, the queen is about to enter the palace. No matter whether it is Nianhulu or Tonggiya, the queen will definitely appear between the two of them. If Ji Nai leaves any handle at this time, wouldn't it give the new queen an opportunity to take action?

After all, no queen would like a high-ranking concubine who has children and is favored when she herself has no children. She would only be on guard against the other party taking further steps.

What Ji Nai can think of, others can naturally think of as well. It is precisely because they grasp this point that these people are so presumptuous.

"The person who came here is not a good person."

Nanny Li said worriedly, "Next month, the princess from the Niuhulu family will be entering the palace. At this time, whether we meet her or not is not a good thing."

Everyone was extremely wary of the new queen who was about to enter the palace. They didn't know what kind of character she had. If there was another one like Hesheli, their days in Zhongcui Palace would be difficult.

As for the rumors that the Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Nianhulu and often praised her, just listen to them and don't take them seriously.

Ji Nai was not too worried. As long as Niuhulu did not change, with her pride and virtue, she would never deliberately torture herself.

It can be said that among Kangxi's several empresses, the only one who could make Ji Nai sincerely convinced was Empress Niuhulu.

It's a pity that due to her background, she was destined not to be liked and trusted by Kangxi, and she was not destined to live long, otherwise Ji Nai would not have tolerated Tong Jia for so many years in his previous life.

However, even though he knew that the final winner of the battle for the queen's position in this lifetime would still be Nianhulu, Ji Nai did not take it lightly. Although Tong Jia would not enter the palace until July, there was still some time before she was officially enthroned as queen.

During this period, Tong Jia, who thought she had won the battle, would definitely regard herself as the future queen and act like the legitimate wife of the empress in front of all the concubines. Ji Nai would be the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Seeing Ji Nai in deep thought, Nanny Li and the others waited quietly for their master to make a decision.

"Mammy, what has Concubine Hui been busy with recently?"

Although she didn't know what her master was up to, Nanny Li still answered seriously:

"Over the past few days, Concubine Hui has thoroughly inspected the Yanxi Palace. All the palace servants with problems have been replaced, even the maidservants around Concubine Hui were not spared. Not a single familiar face around Prince Yinzhen was left.

Fortunately, our people remained inactive, which is why we were able to avoid this purge."

Having said that, Nanny Li couldn't help but admire her master's foresight.

Planting a nail next to the enemy is nothing, but making the nail stand firmly is a real skill.

"It seems that Huipin only pays attention to internal troubles, but ignores external threats."

Nanny Li understood instantly and agreed with a smile, "You can't blame Concubine Hui for this. After all, who could have imagined that even after His Majesty had spoken, someone would still dare to inquire about this matter?"

"This is about Yinzhen's reputation, so we can no longer treat it lightly as usual. If the atmosphere in the palace doesn't change, when the newcomer enters the palace, won't this palace and Concubine Hui be made a laughing stock?

It's fine if they think we're incompetent, but if the Empress Dowager is implicated, it would be a grave sin."

"Your Majesty, the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager are all benevolent people, which is why some people are allowed to behave even more unruly. However, after all, the Empress Dowager is the one in charge, and she still needs to issue an order to be justified."

"Of course. I'm only assisting the Empress Dowager in managing the harem. I can't help but admonish the concubines once, but if I do it too often, it would be an act of usurpation."

"Those people waiting outside..." After all, they are all masters, and it is really inappropriate to leave them alone.

"Let's take them to Shoukang Palace."

"If we do this, we will really offend all these people." Nanny Li hesitated.

Although the master is favored, has a son, and holds a high position, nothing lasts forever. One must always plan for the future. One cannot support oneself alone, and how can it compare to keeping warm in a group? If one encounters someone who takes advantage of one's misfortune, it will make the situation even worse.

"Mammy, do you really think the women in the palace are that curious? People like that have either been worn down or are long gone.

They already had ill intentions towards me and Zhong Cui Palace, and came here with calculations. If that's the case, why should we continue to pretend to be nice to them?

Zhongcui Palace is no longer the same Zhongcui Palace it used to be. It still has to rely on the protection of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to survive.

The reason I didn't step forward before was because Hesheli was still alive, and I didn't want to be involved in the struggle between Kunning Palace and Yanx Palace.

Later, because I was busy with pregnancy and childbirth, my energy was limited, and I was afraid that being too high-profile would bring fatal disaster to the children.

I don't care about palace power because I know that His Majesty will establish a new one sooner or later, and then I will have to return things that don't belong to me. If that's the case, why bother to manage it in vain?

But that doesn't mean I'm the type of person who swallows my anger and accepts everything. I just want to use the matter of Yinzhen to establish my authority and let the people in the palace see that I'm not only kind, but also have a temper.

Besides that, it won't be too high-profile and embarrass the future queen."

This was the plan that Ji Nai had discussed with Yuan Xu before, but he had never told Li Ma and the others.

Firstly, the timing was wrong. The Zhongcui Palace suddenly became high-profile. Such an abrupt change would only make people suspect that Ji Nai had been playing the pig to eat the tiger before, and would definitely arouse the vigilance of many people, such as the Cining Palace, which had finally let down its guard.

Secondly, although Ji Nai has always been very careful about the people around him, and he has Yuan Xu as a cheating tool, it is not impossible that there may be a nail buried very deeply.

If the other party has bad intentions and deliberately does something in the name of Zhongcui Palace, Ji Nai's previous good reputation will collapse overnight and backfire.

Therefore, the changes of Ji Nai and Zhong Cui Palace both require an opportunity, a suitable opportunity to tell everyone that they, Zhong Cui Palace, never seek trouble, but are not afraid of trouble either.

Ji Nai is still the same Ji Nai, and Rong Fei is still the same Rong Fei, still gentle and docile, not caring about others, not liking to pay attention to others but not hurting them either. However, she does not have to rely on others to live, and has her own edge.

Those who look down on her and think that Rong Fei relies only on good luck and a fertile belly must open their eyes and take a good look. Zhongcui Palace is not to be trifled with.

Nanny Li was the first to understand her master's intention. She also felt that Zhongcui Palace had been too low-key in the past, causing everyone to think that her master was easy to bully, and anyone would dare to take advantage of her.

But she also understood the principle of "fire boiling oil", and knew that the lower the profile, the safer it would be at that time.
