Rong Fei is not honored

But I never expected that the child's biological mother did not understand my good intentions at all, and even blamed me for not cherishing the little princess. Didn't she know the child's physical condition?

Kangxi felt very disappointed. He thought that Concubine Zhang had no love for a mother at all. But when he thought of the little princess, he let go of his grudge against Concubine Zhang.

The queen was relieved. At least the baby was born safely. As for the weak body of the little princess, it had nothing to do with her. After all, her mission was completed. If anything happened to the little princess, whoever raised her would be responsible.

However, the queen had been secretly delighted for a long time because this was a princess. As long as she gave birth to the child as soon as possible, no matter what happened to her elder brother, her child would be the eldest son of the Qing Dynasty.

If there are several older brothers above the legitimate son, it would be difficult to deal with. We can't have them all get into trouble, as that would be too conspicuous.

On the other hand, several concubines, headed by Concubine Nara, were also very happy, but they were not happy about the gender of the child, but about the child's weakness.

In fact, when Concubine Zhang was pregnant, many people took action, but they were basically concubines who had been pregnant before but had miscarriages.

That's right, everyone fell down, why didn't they have children, but Concubine Zhang was so lucky to keep her child. The grief of losing their children made it hard for them not to vent their anger on Concubine Zhang.

It just so happened that His Majesty had given Concubine Zhang's pregnancy to the Queen to take care of. If Concubine Zhang had a miscarriage, it would be a blow to the Queen, and she could also avenge the murder of her son.

However, she was persuaded by Concubine Nara. What she said was right. Even if Concubine Zhang's child could not be saved, the Queen would not necessarily be severely punished.

If they wanted to overthrow the queen, they had to weaken her prestige little by little, and it would be more beneficial for them to give birth to this child. If it was a prince, they could just take action after the birth, so they listened to Concubine Nara's words and let Zhang's belly go.

By the time Concubine Zhang came out of confinement and went to pay her respects to the empress for the first time, it was already December. It happened to be snowing that day, and the wind blowing on her face felt like a knife cutting her.

Ji Nai struggled to get up from the bed. Seeing that the weather was bad, he decided not to carry Cheng Rui. Anyway, Cheng Rui had just been shown to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager a few days ago, so he should let him sleep well today.

Ji Nai kissed Cheng Rui and went out. Today was the first day for Concubine Zhang to pay respects after giving birth. It was expected to be very lively and no one knew how long it would take.

Ji Nai arrived not too late, but she noticed that Concubine Zhang had already sat in the second seat on the left. Ji Nai raised her eyebrows, because that was originally Concubine Nara's seat. But since she was sitting here, it must be the arrangement of Kunning Palace. Even if she had any objections, it was not her turn to say anything.

When Concubine Zhang paid her respects to Ji Nai, Ji Nai noticed that Concubine Zhang's teacup was almost empty, so how long had she been here? Normally, Chuxiu Palace and Kunning Palace were not close to each other, so why did she come so early?

Ji Nai glanced at the back hall that was blocked by the screen, and sat there sipping tea leisurely, ignoring the frequent glances from Concubine Zhang, and told Yuan Xu, "Zhang has probably teamed up with the Queen, please keep an eye on her for me."

Yuan Xu didn't understand how Ji Nai figured it out. Although he was a little confused, he knew it was not a good time to ask too much at the moment, so he could only write it down and ask later.

However, Yuan Xu felt a little sighed. As expected of a concubine, even if she was not very smart, her sensitivity to palace fighting was quite high.

When Concubine Nara arrived, she saw that her seat had been taken. What was the reason for this? Before Zhang gave birth, she was sitting opposite her, second to her right. Did she become more honorable than herself after she had a child?

Concubine Nara endured the humiliation and sat down under Concubine Borjigit.

Ji Nai greeted with concern, "Concubine Nara can try the tea in Kunning Palace today to warm your body."

Concubine Zhang couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Is there any difference between the tea in Kunning Palace and the previous ones? Why can't I taste the difference?" No one expected that Concubine Zhang, who was always low-key and silent, would suddenly speak, and she interrupted Concubine Nara's words. The hall fell silent for a moment.

Ji Nai seemed not to notice the cold atmosphere, and said with a smile: "I didn't taste it either, but when I came here just now, I saw that Concubine Zhang had already finished a cup of tea, so I thought today's tea was particularly fragrant."

"Really? Then I'd better taste it carefully." Concubine Nara naturally understood what Ji Nai meant. She glanced at Concubine Zhang and used the teacup to hide the sneer on her lips.

At once, all the concubines agreed, wanting to taste today's tea to see what was different.

Concubine Zhang panicked and explained hastily: "I was just a little thirsty today, so I used it in a hurry." But no one responded to her words.

Concubine Zhang didn't understand why she was suddenly excluded by everyone. This shouldn't be the case.

If other people knew what Concubine Zhang was thinking, they would only ridicule her for taking advantage of others.

Children are the key to survival and promotion in this palace. The Queen has ruined the paths of many people and has long become a public enemy.

Now Zhang, the only one who gave birth to a child, has sided with the Queen, who is also their enemy.

Furthermore, a concubine who only had a daughter, a princess, was not worth their attention. As a result, Concubine Zhang, who was suspected to be a member of the Queen's party, was naturally isolated.

Fortunately, Concubine Zhang didn’t feel embarrassed for long, as the Queen came out.

As soon as the queen sat down, she began to explain, "I didn't notice the mistake in the seating arrangement some time ago. It was only after the nanny beside me reminded me that in this palace, children have always been the most important thing. Concubines with children are naturally more honorable."

After saying this, he glanced at Concubine Nara who had no expression on her face, and continued with a smile, "So today, Concubine Zhang's seat was moved in front of Concubine Nara."

The Queen comforted Concubine Nara and said, "Concubine Nara, don't be angry. You were brought to the front because you were pregnant."

Concubine Nara stood up and saluted the queen. "What are you talking about, Queen? The rules are like this, how can I have any emotions? Although I have gained some palace power, what the Queen said is right. Those who have children are naturally more noble than those who hold power."

The queen's face suddenly turned cold. Nara was hinting that she, a childless queen, was not so noble. But what she said was in line with her words. The queen couldn't scold her directly, so she could only tell Nara to go back and sit down.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Borjigit also started to make trouble. "Concubine Borjigit, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly." The queen's voice was cold, and she gave Borjigit a chance to take back her words.

"I have neither palace power nor offspring, so I dare not sit here." Borjigit concubine was stubborn and repeated what she had said.
