Rong Fei is not honored

The table was in a mess, Liang Jiugong knelt down and dared not move, he knew that the emperor would be furious after hearing his report. The emperor was still tenderly ordering people to send rewards to Zhongcui Palace, and the next second he wanted to kill people.

Kangxi pressed the throbbing veins on his forehead and asked wearily, "Has the Queen heard about this?"

"No, I didn't find out directly that Esen was your man, and I used the name of the Empress Dowager. It's just that the chefs in the imperial kitchen all know something about food incompatibility, so there are many people who know about it, but they all know that Esen is your man, so they dare not say it out."

"So, they all thought it was me!" Kangxi said gritting his teeth.

Otherwise, who would have thought that Esen would be so bold as to attack Borjigit's concubine without the Emperor's order.

Well, it wasn't unauthorized. Didn't the Queen's master give the order? If His Majesty hadn't been suspicious of the Queen and had people keeping a close eye on them, they really wouldn't have known when the two of them got in touch.

"The queen is really smart. I guess I have underestimated her before."

She asked Esen to serve Borjigit a meal that was incompatible with his diet when he was sick. In fact, these trace amounts of toxins would not cause any harm, but the sick person had a disharmony in the spleen and stomach and a weak body, so the poison would naturally explode severely.

No wonder, no matter how his people investigated, they could not find out how Borjigit was poisoned by the chronic poison. Who would have thought that the problem was in the food, and the imperial kitchen was under the control of him, the emperor.

No one would have thought that it was a mistake made by the imperial kitchen, and those who knew about it would only think that he was going to deal with Borjigit, so no one dared to say anything more.

In this way, under his protection, Esen could hide perfectly. If it weren't for the fact that this matter involved the Empress Dowager, those people would not dare to reveal the matter because they knew that Esen would not have a good ending.

The reason why they spent so much effort to poison Borjigit was not to deal with her, and even framing Jinai was just a side job. All this was just to gather all the concubines who came to visit together, so that it would be easier to take action when there were more people.

The reason why the queen did not choose to pay her respects in the morning but instead arranged this incident was that she did not want her reputation to be damaged. If word got out, several concubines in the palace had fallen and suffered miscarriages on the way to pay their respects to the queen. No matter what the reason for the fall, people would always think that the queen was unlucky.

Secondly, it was a rule to pay respects to the empress, and it would be disrespectful if one missed the time. The distances between the six eastern and western palaces and Kunning Palace were different, so the concubines set out at different times. Even if something unexpected happened on the way to pay respects, it would be difficult to hold the concubines back.

But visiting Borjigit, who was also a concubine, was different. Even if it was to give face to the Empress Dowager, as long as they didn't go too late, it would be fine. A few accidents brought these people together.

Even if it seemed too coincidental afterwards, who could have thought that concubine Borjigit would suddenly get into trouble? The accidents arranged by the queen had been planned a month ago, and no matter who investigated, it was not a spur-of-the-moment plan.

Kangxi was very glad that he had raised Nara at the beginning. Although he had other considerations when he chose to do so, it was necessary to let the two of them face off at this moment. At worst, he could pick another one after this chess piece was destroyed.

Kangxi went to the Cining Palace with a gloomy face, and his expression changed as soon as he entered the palace. The Empress Dowager naturally knew that the Emperor had already found out about the food incompatibility, and she had deliberately pointed this out, but when facing Kangxi, she just pretended not to know.

"Grandmother, I have thought about it and feel that I am sorry for the neglect of the Imperial Kitchen."

"Your Majesty is in charge of the vast country, there are always things that he cannot take care of. Besides, the affairs of the harem are taken care of by the Empress, and the Emperor should focus on the former court."

The Grand Empress Dowager seemed to be making excuses for Kangxi. After all, everyone in and out of the palace knew that Esen was the Emperor's person. She mentioned the Queen just to find someone to take the blame.

But only the Empress Dowager and Kangxi, who understood who was the mastermind behind this matter, knew that this time it was Kangxi who took the blame for the Queen.

"That being said, I still feel guilty. Although the Imperial Kitchen has been punished and will not make the same mistake again, I am still worried. So I want my grandmother to reopen the small kitchen in the Cining Palace."

"Small kitchen? Why bother?"

"After the death of the Emperor, I became a vegetarian for a year. Later, because the national treasury was tight, I practiced frugality and stopped using the small kitchen. Since you are so considerate of me, I cannot be unfilial. So please consider me more and reopen the small kitchen so that you can use whatever you want in the future."

"There is no small kitchen in this palace anymore. Even pregnant concubines are not given this privilege. How can I..."

"How can they be compared with the Imperial Grandmother?"

"Since the emperor is filial, I am grateful for it. However, I will also issue an imperial decree that in the future, all concubines who are pregnant or raising children can have a small kitchen in the palace."

The Empress Dowager naturally understood that Kangxi was not only worried about her, but since the Cining Palace did not take the initiative, it would be difficult for others in the palace to bypass her. Why not give the Emperor this face and take the initiative to propose it herself, so that everyone would be happy.

Ji Nai had never expected that not only would he be able to cut off Uya's path to fame, but he would also receive an unexpected surprise.

In this way, she could put spiritual liquid, snacks, tea and the like in the meals in her palace. It was not easy for children to use too much, but there would be no such concerns if it was replaced with meals. She did not believe that Chengrui and the others would not be healthy if they ate such meals every day.

After hearing the news from the kitchenette, the Queen was very angry. This time, the His Majesty and the Empress Dowager bypassed her, the master of the harem, and made decisions on the harem without consulting her.

As time goes by, the queen's prestige is gone. Can people in the harem still recognize her as the queen?

Just like the Empress Dowager back then, no one treated her as a real queen. She was just a decoration. If it weren't for the face of the Grand Empress Dowager, no one would take her seriously, no matter what they did.

Besides, as the queen, she doesn't even have a small kitchen. Why should the concubines with children be treated specially? The queen was once again unwilling to accept why there was no movement in her belly.

The queen, who already had no children, was already very dissatisfied because the emperor asked her to keep Zhang's pregnancy. As a queen, why should she take care of a concubine's belly?

But the women in the harem were restless and their endless tricks were annoying. The queen had thought about bringing all of this to the emperor so that he could see the true colors of those women.
