Rong Fei is not honored

Ji Nai smiled and declined, "I still have Chengrui to take care of, so I really can't spare much energy. Even His Majesty has specially come to tell me to take good care of Chengrui first, and there is really no need to worry about the palace power."

Concubine Nara thought that Ma Jia wanted to refuse the power of the palace, and she was a little anxious. "Even if Prince Chengrui is here, Sister Ma Jia can choose some simple things to deal with. After all, this is what the emperor said, and it's not good to delay it."

What Concubine Nara means is that you bring up the Emperor to refuse, but the power of the palace is also ordered by the Emperor. Don’t you, Ma Jia, listen?

"Concubine Nara, you misunderstood. What I meant was that I don't have the energy to manage palace affairs, but I can assist you."

When this was said, everyone from the Grand Empress Dowager to the concubines were surprised. This meant that Ma Jia was willing to be the deputy of Concubine Nara. Wouldn't this mess up the hierarchy? Besides, how could anyone not want the benefits they had obtained?

The Queen's smile became forced. She had never expected that Ma Jia would do this, and would so easily give up the power in the palace. "You two are in charge of a matter. Even if there is a distinction between the main and the secondary, you, Ma Jia, should be the main one, and Nala, the deputy. How can that be possible?"

"Why not? It's all to help the Queen manage the harem. Besides, palace power or not, how can it be more important than Cheng Rui?"

The queen sneered at this statement. No matter how important the prince was, the power of the palace was equally important. How could she give up her power for the sake of her offspring? But once this statement came out, she couldn't refute it. After all, she couldn't say that the royal heir was not as important as power, right?

The Grand Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Ma Jia's behavior. Although she had been a concubine, she knew the importance of palace power. With palace power, many things would be much easier. But for her, who was already the Grand Empress Dowager, she still preferred Ma Jia, a concubine who was wholeheartedly concerned about her offspring.

Concubine Nara was even happier, she had never thought that she would get such a big bargain. Originally, she and Ma Jia shared some of the palace power, so Ma Jia would definitely take the lion's share, and she could only pick up the rest.

As a result, Ma Jia is now willing to push all the palace power to herself, saying it is assistance, but in fact it is just a title, and she is not the one who makes the decision.

Everyone secretly laughed at Ma Jia's lack of knowledge, which resulted in Ji Nai's deliberate words before, which were instructions from His Majesty, being heard only by a few people with ulterior motives.

In Nara's mind, Kangxi was deliberately looking for excuses to benefit himself.

The queen was even more angry. She didn't know when Kangxi had become so fond of Nara, and even disregarded the rules of rank and inferiority. She even specifically told Ma Jia to pay more attention to her offspring. After hearing this, even if Ma Jia was unwilling, could she still go against Kangxi?

Before Ji Nai returned to Zhongcui Palace, Kangxi had already learned the news from Cining Palace.

He knew that Ji Nai was different. If it were someone else, they would not be willing to give up such a big benefit even with his reminder. Only Ji Nai would still believe in him even if he did not explain why he did this.

Of course, if it were someone else, he wouldn't say it explicitly. At most, he would give a subtle reminder or two. As for whether the other person understood or played dumb after understanding what he meant, it had nothing to do with him. He would only feel dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that the other person was too stupid or too greedy for power.

Kangxi was so happy that he asked Liang Jiugong to send many jewels to Zhongcui Palace. After thinking about it, he added a few ancient books. The former was what Ji Nai liked, and the latter was what he expected.

Although it was interesting for Ji Nai to learn the words and deeds in the storybook, she couldn't let herself indulge in them. Ji Nai still remembered the reason why she wanted to study in the first place. Since she herself was not diligent, she had to urge her more.

The queen sneered when she heard the news. It was just as she had guessed. The Emperor rewarded the disadvantaged Ma Jia. Wasn't this just to appease her?

Naturally, it was impossible for the Queen to assign important palace affairs to Nara. Anyway, Ma Jia had already retreated. She was just a concubine and was easy to deal with, so she was only given the right to take care of flowers, plants and trees.

But this has allowed Concubine Nara to surpass everyone else and take the lead among the concubines. At the beginning, Concubine Nara stayed in her own palace with peace of mind, and learned how to manage palace affairs from the nanny around her.

But Nara was still Nara after all. Her body had become Concubine Hui in her previous life. Although her soul had various problems, she was not stupid, so she quickly got the hang of it.

After Concubine Nara became proficient in managing palace affairs, she was no longer low-key. She opened the gates of the Yanx Palace wide and welcomed guests, making it very lively.

But only a few people came and went to the Yanxi Palace. After all, Nara was born into a family of bondsers. In the eyes of the noble ladies of the Eight Banners, even if she had palace power, it was nothing. How could they rush to flatter her? But the key point was that they looked down on Nara. She didn't go to the Yanxi Palace, but went directly to the door.

What is she doing? Showing off? If so, then she is really stupid. Even the current Ma Jia family is not so arrogant, so why should she be so arrogant?

Nara is not stupid. She is not acting so high-profile to show off. Isn't this making enemies for herself? She is not that stupid.

Concubine Nara knew that her foundation was not deep and she only relied on the favor of Kangxi. She was like a rootless duckweed that could be overturned by a wave. How could she dare to make enemies everywhere?

Just like the queen, she never took the concubines seriously. She plotted on the second day of her wedding and attacked the pregnant concubines several times. Who in the harem didn't hate the queen?

Maybe they can't do anything for a while, but if they get a chance, they will swarm over and tear the queen to pieces. They will let the queen know that even a group of ants can kill an elephant.

The reason why Concubine Nara was so high-profile and looked for all the concubines was just to hide the person she really wanted to see. In fact, the best way was to wait until she got the power of the palace, and then they would come to congratulate her, and then talk in detail in the Yanxi Palace, so as not to arouse suspicion.

But who could blame him for the fact that there were noble ladies from the Eight Banners among those people who looked down on him? They were proud of their status and naturally would not bow their heads. And what he wanted to do was not to make enemies with them.

What exactly did Concubine Nara do?

"What is Concubine Nara doing? Is she trying to show off in front of me?"

"I don't have anything to show off. We are all just pitiful people."
