Rong Fei is not honored

The queen's chest heaved violently. According to the rules, concubine Borjigit should not sit here, but didn't this give face to Korchin and the Empress Dowager behind her?

Otherwise, with her temper, how could she have such an extraordinary status in the harem and enjoy special treatment? She would have been eaten alive by someone she offended long ago.

Didn't they avoid her even if they wanted to do something? The queen said firmly, "If I say you can do it, then you can do it."

Concubine Borjigit shrugged and sat back down. Okay, the Empress Dowager had warned me not to contradict the Queen directly. But since she dared to plot against me, I should be prepared and not blame myself for always causing trouble.

Ji Nai was very surprised to see that Borjigit concubine also jumped out. She had been very strange for a while. Ever since that day when she said that she didn't believe she was the murderer, she had been avoiding her intentionally.

Even when Ji Nai came to visit the patient, or even brought Cheng Rui with him, he was always turned away. After a few times, Ji Nai knew that the other party was deliberately distancing himself, so he stopped asking for trouble.

The reaction of Borjigit concubine today is worth pondering, but it must be related to the queen. The queen's regretful expression that day flashed through his mind. Could it be that Qiqige's poisoning was related to the queen?

However, Ji Nai could never have imagined that the queen had poisoned the palace through the imperial kitchen, and Esen, or Uya, had actually started making plans in the harem so early.

After the queen calmed down for a while, she turned around and asked Ji Nai, "Why didn't you bring Cheng Rui out today?"

"Yes, aren't we going to the Cining Palace today? I remember that last year Empress Ma Jia braved the wind and snow and carried Prince Chengrui to the Qianqing Palace." Concubine Zhang also chimed in.

"I don't bring Chengrui to pay respects every day." Ji Nai explained, "Besides, His Majesty was missing my brother at that time and couldn't get away, so he asked me to bring Chengrui over so that he could take a look at him when he was free."

Anyway, Kangxi had given instructions at the beginning, fearing that someone would use this matter to accuse him of using the child to curry favor, so he just pushed the blame on him. This was Kangxi's intention, so he didn't waste it.

Concubine Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "Is that what His Majesty meant? How come I haven't heard of it?"

"Concubine Zhang has not met His Majesty many times, so I guess she has no chance to ask, but I have heard a few things about him."

The one who was speaking was Concubine Nara. Although she didn't know, it didn't stop her from showing her favor in front of the queen. Anyway, since Ma Jia could say such a thing, it must be true. Ma Jia couldn't dare to lie to His Majesty.

"It's really not suitable for Chengrui to go out in this kind of weather." The Queen didn't want to continue on this issue, so she changed the subject and said, "Speaking of Chengrui, I remember that Sister Ma Jia was also diagnosed by the imperial physician to stay in bed, but in the end she raised a healthy prince. Is there any secret?"

The Queen sighed and pretended to be sad, saying, "If there is really any secret, please teach me, Sister Ma Jia. I can't bear to see the weak look on Little Princess."

At the same time, the Queen assured Ji Nai: "This is the method provided by sister Ma Jia. If it is really helpful in raising princes and princesses, it is also your credit, right?"

Haha, the Queen's words sound nice, but raising a child is never smooth sailing? Even if no one is trying to harm them, such a young child is most likely to get into trouble. Not to mention that my secret is spiritual liquid and cannot be told. Even if I can tell it, I won't tell it.

It's not that Ji Nai is stingy, but he has to be on guard against being harmed by others. If he says any specific method today, any mistakes made by the children in the palace in the future can be blamed on him.

So Ji Nai just said: "The so-called secret is nothing more than the word 'pay attention'."

"Sister Ma Jia is unwilling to speak. We are sisters, why do we have to do this?" The queen's face was full of regret. "If sister Ma Jia is willing to speak out, the children in the harem will have an easier life. What a pity..."

It seemed as if Ji Nai really had some secret, which he kept tightly in his hands and refused to share. The queen could not force Ma Jiashi to do so, so she had to give up.

Concubine Zhang followed the Queen's lead and knelt down in front of Ji Nai, begging, "Please tell me, as long as the little princess gets better, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse."

The two of them sang the same tune, and regardless of whether the secret really existed or not, they wanted to ruin Ma Jia's reputation.

A concubine with a bad reputation would have a hard time getting promoted in the future, no matter how favored she was. And Chengrui had such a mother, so naturally his future was limited.

If Ma Jia said something for the sake of reputation, that doesn't matter. She can escape it this time, but she can't escape it next time.

At that time, the death of any concubine's child could make Ma Jia unable to turn over a new leaf, killing two birds with one stone and solving two problems at once.

Ji Nai did not dodge or avoid, and accepted the kneeling ceremony from Concubine Zhang. After all, she was a concubine and could afford such a great ceremony. "Concubine Zhang, don't you understand what I said? I have already told you what the secret is."

Concubine Zhang opened her mouth and was about to say something. Concubine Nara spoke first, "I heard everything clearly. I don't know if Concubine Zhang is too stupid to understand what the queen meant, or if she is too focused on unorthodox things, so she pretends not to understand."

"Concubine Nara, what do you mean by this?" Concubine Zhang shouted angrily, "You don't have any children, so you naturally don't understand the feelings of a mother."

When these words came out, everyone felt that Concubine Zhang was too brave. She dared to say such words directly. Wasn't she hitting Concubine Nara's heart?

Moreover, although Concubine Zhang had a child, she was just a sickly princess and it was not known whether she could be raised. Even if she could be raised, she would be married off to Mongolia.

Why did she think she had the confidence to go against Nara, who could touch the palace power with her position as a concubine?

However, everyone thought of what Ma Jia said before. If Zhang had the Empress as her backer, she would have the confidence. Concubine Nara's face immediately darkened, and she said coldly: "It's really disgusting to use the heart of a loving mother to act."

The Queen rebuked, "Nara, how dare you say such words to slander Zhang."

"Isn't it?" Concubine Nara asked back, "Neither His Majesty nor the Empress Dowager has issued an edict to determine the little brother's fate, but she is here, under the banner of Little Princess, chasing after Sister Ma Jia. Everyone knows what she is thinking, but the key is, is she qualified to do so?"

"What do you mean? I am the little princess's biological mother. Why am I not qualified to take care of her?"

Concubine Nara leaned over and approached Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a face full of sarcasm: "According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, when the princes and princesses grow up to six years old, they must be sent to the Southern Three Institutes for unified education. But this mother is not necessarily the biological mother. If the biological mother is not the head of a palace, she has no right to raise the child personally."
