Rong Fei is not honored

The last concubine felt that something was missing. She looked left and right, and while she was looking around, she was pulled by the concubine next to her.

"What are you doing?" You're asking for trouble by breaking the rules. Don't implicate her.

"No, where's Borjigit? Why don't I see her? Today is the day to pay respects to the Grand Empress Dowager, and how dare she be late?"

Although the sound was low, it was still heard by several people nearby. Hearing this, they also became puzzled. Yes, where is Borjigit? As soon as they entered the hall, their doubts were resolved.

Seeing them come in, Borjigit stopped talking and the smile on her face disappeared instantly. The meaning was obvious - this noble lady from Khorchin did not like them.

Oh, who can like whom?

If it weren't for her good family background, she would be even worse than the most useless one among them. The others were fine, but Huipin's reaction was the most direct, rolling her eyes on the spot.

"Nara, does that look on your face mean you have something against me?" The Empress Dowager's obviously displeased voice made everyone look at Huipin, only to see the blatant sarcasm on her face, which she did not even try to conceal.

Seeing this, everyone unanimously felt admiration for Huipin.

This is a true warrior!

Didn't you see they were all dissatisfied with Borjigit's attitude? But who dared to show it in public?

Although Ji Nai knew Huipin's temperament well before, he still couldn't help but hold his forehead at this moment. Did he feel that he would never be favored again and just gave up?

Huipin was not in the least bit afraid of the Empress Dowager's pressure and said with a smile, "How could that be? I just thought Borjigit's expression was lively and interesting, so I subconsciously imitated it."

The Empress Dowager choked. She had naturally seen Naren's expression just now. Although she felt that the other party's behavior was inappropriate, she was a junior from her brother's family after all, so she had to protect her.

The emperor's attitude has already made Naren lose face. If he scolds her again in front of so many people, how can Naren stay in the palace?

Therefore, the Empress Dowager pretended not to see it.

She thought, even if these concubines were dissatisfied, so what? With her support, they would have to suppress their dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Nara dared to turn her back on him, and this was in front of her. If the Empress Dowager had not said anything, who knows how this daring Nara would have "bullied" Naren in the future.

However, what the Empress Dowager did not expect was that Nara actually directly told her what Naren's expression was just now. What else could she say?

If they keep harping on Nara's attitude, then Naren, who has the same attitude, will also have to be dealt with.

But if she let him go lightly, the Empress Dowager would feel that her dignity was challenged.

When did the Nara family become so reckless? The Empress Dowager was a little troubled.

Someone should have stepped out to smooth things over at this time, but Ji Nai was not so kind as to give the Empress Dowager a way out, and Concubine Nianhulu remained silent for some reason.

As for the Empress Dowager, she was powerless. She wanted to say something but just skipped over this matter. She racked her brains but just couldn't figure out what to say.

At this moment, Concubine Tongjia suddenly spoke up, and the first thing she said was a sarcastic tone: "Princess Borjigit is still young, so it's normal for her to be lively. How come Concubine Hui is also so childish?"

If Ji Nai had not understood Tong Jia and knew that she was taking advantage of the situation to step on Concubine Hui, he would have almost thought that Tong Jia was deliberately targeting Borjigit.

What do you mean by "still young"? Why is it that Huipin's behavior is childish, but Borjigit's is not childish?

Doesn't that mean Borjigit is still a child? How did she pass the election and enter the palace? Can a child enter the palace to be the emperor's concubine?

In one sentence, it not only satirizes the Borjigit family's lack of status, but also implies that Kangxi is a pervert.

Even Concubine Nianhulu couldn't help but look sideways, feeling puzzled. So, was Tong Jia really stupid, or was she just pretending to be stupid?

The Empress Dowager's face turned dark, "Tong Jia, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up." With Tong Jia attracting the attention, the Empress Dowager no longer cared about her dissatisfaction with Nara.

In fact, Tong Jia concubine felt that something was wrong after she said it. She was so angry with Ma Jia and Nara that she lost her mind. Before she could make amends, she was scolded by the Empress Dowager and could only shut up in embarrassment.

"Alright, everyone, sit down." The Empress Dowager said unhappily, not bothering to care about the fact that everyone hadn't greeted her before they came in. They were all troublesome.

Only after everyone sat down did they discover the problem with the seating arrangement. The first seats naturally belonged to Concubine Rong and Concubine Niuhulu.

The former has a title and children, so logically speaking, she is more noble than Concubine Nianhulu, and there is nothing wrong with her being on the left.

But Concubine Niuhulu is not an ordinary concubine. She is the designated future queen. How can she be inferior to the concubines?

After Nianhulu was made a concubine, she was not without some idleness and secretly pondered this matter, and even had a vague expectation of seeing such a Shura scene.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, Concubine Rong and Concubine Niuhulu never appeared in a formal occasion at the same time.

And just now, they saw it clearly: the servants of the Cining Palace led Concubine Rong directly to the first position on the left. If they said that the servants did not act with the instructions of the Grand Empress Dowager, no one would believe it.

They also remembered that it was the Grand Empress Dowager who issued the decree to lift Concubine Rong's house arrest. For a moment, everyone looked at the Grand Empress Dowager and Concubine Rong with subtle eyes.

Yuan Xu felt like a fire was rising in her chest, but she had no place to vent it, which made her feel very suffocated.

[Why are you so angry? It's the Empress Dowager's intention. Any truly smart person can see it. Look, did Nianhulu believe it?

As for the others, unless they have climbed to the rank of concubine or above, no matter what they think, it will not have any influence on me.

Did she really think that Ma Jiajinai was nothing more than a piece of fish on the chopping board? The Empress Dowager really underestimated her.

What we really care about is what Kangxi actually thought.

Even if other people's ideas can't change anything, but...

"Don't you feel aggrieved? The Empress Dowager clearly wants your life, and has repeatedly plotted against you and Chengrui and the others. Even when she's trying to be nice, it's not sincere. Yet, in the eyes of others, it's as if you've gained so much."

[Isn't this good? The Grand Empress Dowager can create an illusion to make others misunderstand, and we can also use her influence in return.

Even if they didn't see my pulse, they could guess my physical condition. A sick tiger is a good opportunity to take action. After all, I was once the most favored and have so many children.

The benefits of getting rid of me far outweigh the risks, and they won't miss this opportunity. But now, I'm suspected of being the Empress Dowager's man, so even if they're bold, they have to think twice.

After seeing that everyone was seated, the Empress Dowager patted Naren and motioned her to return to her seat.

Borjigit Naren still wanted to stay by the side of the Grand Empress Dowager. If she went down to sit, there would be so many people in front. She said coquettishly, "I want to be close to my great-aunt. I don't want to go down."

"Be good, go down and sit down."

The Empress Dowager would not allow Naren to act as she pleases, and she spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Naren had heard about the legendary deeds of her great-aunt since she was a child. Before leaving the grassland, her family repeatedly told her to listen to the Empress Dowager and not to make her angry like her previous cousin.

So, even though Naren was reluctant, she still went down.

When she passed by Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, she deliberately snorted. Naren didn't like either of them.

One of them actually dared to be rude to her. She had never been bullied in her life. The other one was obviously a sickly girl, yet she was stunningly beautiful.

Even though Naren claimed to be the most beautiful woman on the grassland and the sun of Korchin, she still felt a little ashamed of herself at this moment.

No girl who loves beauty would like another person who is more beautiful than herself, especially if that person is her husband's woman.

Rong Fei and Huipin looked at each other in bewilderment. Huipin, in particular, really couldn't stand the arrogant Borjigit clan, so she ignored Ji Nai's attempts to stop her and asked, "Grand Empress Dowager, is this seat a mistake?"
