Rong Fei is not honored

When Ji Nai left, he took those maids with him. After all, she was the empress dowager, and no one dared to disobey her even without using force.

When everyone in the harem received the news and learned that those people were not only punished to kneel in Shoukang Palace for an entire afternoon, but also had to be confined to their homes and forced to copy as punishment when they returned, everyone quieted down.

Not only did he dare not inquire about the affairs of the Yanx Palace anymore, but he also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​plotting against the Zhongcui Palace.

The concubines who went to Zhongcui Palace today were not without acquaintances. Some of them were even just pawns of others, so these people were considered pioneers, and their plans were also known to many people.

There were many people who wanted to stir up trouble before and after Niohuru entered the palace.

But the others are hiding and have not yet surfaced.

If Concubine Rong was defeated or showed any signs of weakness, they would surround her like hyenas smelling blood and tear her flesh apart.

But if she wins, they will continue to lie dormant, like a poisonous snake in the shadows, patiently waiting for their opportunity.

However, Rong Fei's behavior today surprised everyone. Didn't Rong Fei Ma Jia always avoid causing trouble?

But today she offended everyone without hesitation, even with the help of the Queen Mother, but who doesn't know who the culprit is?

It was as if they had never really seen Rong Fei clearly.

Ji Nai was very satisfied with the peaceful harem, and proudly took credit for it to Kangxi. However, she also knew that using the Empress Dowager to intimidate the harem was only temporary.

But so what? Niuhulu would soon enter the palace, and even if someone refused to stay in the palace, there was no need for Ji Nai to take action himself.

After Niohuru died of illness, her son Yinzhi was born. Ji Nai no longer had to worry about giving birth, and he had plenty of time and energy to accompany them.

……

In April of the 15th year of the Kangxi reign, Niuhuru entered the palace and became Niuhuru's concubine, enjoying the same status as a concubine.

The last person to receive such treatment was the noble lady of Khorchin, Borjigit. However, despite her special status, she was not loved by Kangxi and died of illness early.

Everyone knows that when Oboi was in power, Ebilun, one of the four great ministers, was afraid of Oboi's power and became his puppet, implicating the Nianhulu family and making them Oboi's followers, and was suppressed by Kangxi.

This time, the princesses of the Niohuru family are once again participating in the competition for the position of queen. Some people think that this is a signal released by the Emperor that he is willing to re-employ the Niohuru family. After all, the Niohuru family is a big family in Manchuria, and there are many talented disciples in the family.

But some people think that this is the same as the last time, raising the Niohuru clan is just a cover-up, and in the end they will still be defeated again.

More people believe the latter, but it’s not that they think the princesses of the Tonggiya clan are so good, it’s just that the identities of the two princesses are there.

One is the cousin of His Majesty’s mother’s family, and the other is the daughter of a traitor. Isn’t it obvious at a glance how close they are?

However, there were also people who could not stand the scheming of the brothers Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang, and thus developed a resentment and looked down on the Tong Jia princess who was about to enter the palace. They believed from the bottom of their hearts that Tong Jia was not fit for the position of empress, and that the wise and powerful Emperor would never sacrifice public interest for personal gain.

It is human nature to like gossip, let alone this is royal gossip.

Since Emperor Kangxi issued the decree last December, various speculations have never stopped, especially when it was learned that the two queens in reserve entered the palace at different times, and the order of priority was also very important.

Therefore, everyone expressed their opinions in private and discussed whether it was more honorable to enter the palace first or later.

And this is exactly what Kangxi was happy to see. He wanted everyone to think more and believe that every step he made had a deeper meaning. Only in this way would they not dare to make a decision easily.

But in fact, he did not allow Nianhulu and Tonggiya to enter the palace together, simply because he knew the temperament of his adopted cousin. If the two of them really met at the beginning, there would definitely be chaos.

The reason why Kangxi established a queen was to ensure the stability of the harem, but he did not want to see the opposite effect.

On the first day that Niohuru entered the palace, the masters of each palace were all silent. In their eyes, what did it matter even if the other party was the future queen?

As long as I am still a concubine, I will be the same as them.

Even the palace maids around Niohuru thought so. They were all members of the Niohuru family. Although they voluntarily followed their master into the palace, their families were still in the Niohuru family. Naturally, they hoped that their master would be better and that their family could resolve their past grievances with the Emperor.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager issued an edict of reward, allowing Princess Nianhulu to bring two maids and a nanny into the palace. Everyone was very happy, after all, the last person to receive such treatment was Empress Hesheli.

But I didn't expect that after entering the palace, the master would only be a concubine of the lowest rank.

Although nowadays, both the concubines selected in the general election and the minor election were all concubines at the beginning, and only the two in Zhongcui Palace and Yanxi Palace were successfully promoted by giving birth to children, but how could their masters be the same as these people?

Could it be? Could it be that the Emperor's preference was for the Tonggiya clan woman, and that his own princess was really just a smokescreen to confuse everyone?

After all, Tonggiya clan has only been rich for a dozen years, relying only on the favor of the Emperor, and has not yet made any real achievements.

If another queen appears, many people will definitely be dissatisfied, and court officials and royal family members will all advise against it. However, with the buffer of his own princess, it will be different. The emperor will face fewer obstacles.

This kind of plan is actually not that complicated and can be seen at a glance, but the Niuhulu family must get involved and must seize this opportunity.

Before, they had thought about the possibility of losing, but when it really happened, they still couldn't accept it. If they lost again, the Niuhulu family would really become a joke.

Daimao suggested worriedly, "Master, today is our first day in the palace. Should we visit Zhongcui Palace and Yanxi Palace?"

Madam Zhou scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? The master knows what's going on, so there's no need for you to interfere!"

Daimao bowed her head and admitted her mistake. In fact, she knew that she shouldn't say too much, but she was a little panicked.

According to the rules, newlyweds entering the palace must pay their respects to the high-ranking concubines as a sign of respect.

It would be fine if all the concubines in the palace were of the same rank. Even if others entered the palace first, even if they had princes or princesses, one's own princess could calmly wait for the final result.

But now there is a Rong Fei and a Hui Fei in the palace. Although my master enjoys the status of a concubine, she is actually just a concubine, just like Borjigit's concubine.

Even if she was from the Empress Dowager's family, so what? She still had to give up her seat to the pregnant concubines Ma Jia and Nara. It was obvious that the so-called rules for enjoying the status of concubines were all false.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's my first day in the palace, so they have to send someone from the Qianqing Palace." Niuhulu read quietly, always calm and composed.
