Rong Fei is not honored

So you work so hard for the queen, can she get you a concubine? In the end, you can't even keep your child. Although the latter words were not spoken, they were clearly written on Concubine Nara's face.

Concubine Zhang understood, so she panicked and turned to look at the Queen. But the Queen did not look at her.

The Queen naturally knew this rule, but what did it have to do with her? It was Concubine Zhang who approached her on her own initiative, and the Queen had never promised anything from beginning to end.

Idiots like Zhang are not even valuable chess pieces. Once they are useless, they are useless.

However, Concubine Nara said maliciously: "Look at how loyal Concubine is, I think the Queen is willing to raise the little princess herself."

The queen didn't expect that Nara would set her sights on her, so she immediately declined, saying, "I have to take care of the affairs of the harem every day, so I don't have the energy to take care of the little princess."

"What are you talking about, Queen? You were ordered to take care of Concubine Zhang's baby before, and you took good care of her, didn't you?"

"Yes, Queen, apart from Sister Ma Jia who was lucky, among all the pregnant concubines in the palace, only Concubine Zhang, who you took care of, gave birth safely."

"It seems that the little princess can only grow up safely if she asks the Queen to take care of her."

"Your Majesty is the mother of the country and is blessed with great fortune. Only if you take care of it personally can the harem flourish."

"Yes, this is for the sake of the heirs. I think the Queen, as the legitimate mother of the heirs, will not refuse."

The concubines all spoke one after another, putting the empress on a high pedestal, as if to say that as long as the empress was unwilling to take care of Zhang's little princess, she did not want the emperor to have any offspring.

Even Concubine Zhang looked at the Queen expectantly. Since she couldn't raise the little princess herself due to her status, it would be good to let the Queen raise her. At least she was on the Queen's side and could visit the little princess more often.

The queen secretly hated these bitches, thinking that they were no good and that they all wanted to pull her down from the position of queen. But they didn't even look at their own status and thought that a group of concubines were not worthy of competing with her.

The Queen humbly said, "My sisters, please trust me. I shouldn't have refused. It's just that I have no experience in raising children, so I can't compare to sister Ma Jia who raised Chengrui."

The Queen knew it was not easy to refuse directly, so she could only turn her attention to Ma Jia, "You think, if Ma Jia takes care of the little princess herself, she will definitely be as healthy as Prince Chengrui."

"How can I compare to the Queen's blessing? Besides, I already have a son, Chengrui. I am exhausted from taking care of him all day. Besides, the Queen and the little princess have a connection. Since you can protect her safe birth, you can also protect her safe growth. If the Queen can raise her personally, it will also make you and the little princess a mother and son."

Naturally, the Queen was unwilling to have a mother-daughter relationship with a princess who was born out of wedlock. She would definitely have her own children in the future, so why would she spend all her time and effort taking care of someone else's children?

Besides, the little princess was so weak that she would definitely get into trouble, so she didn't want to get involved in this mess. Therefore, the queen tried her best to push the little princess to Ma Jia's side.

But the Queen alone is no match for Ji Nai and the concubines. If this continues, once today's message is passed to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, they will probably think it is better for them to raise the little princess themselves. If the decree is issued, I will really have no chance to refuse.

The queen could only say: "Mother and daughter are connected by heart. It would be better to ask her biological mother before finding a foster mother for the little princess." As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Concubine Zhang, with an obvious threat in her eyes.

Everyone's eyes turned to Concubine Zhang, and they couldn't help thinking that the Queen had no other choice, so she came up with such a stupid move. How could Zhang choose Ma Jia?

You know, if a little princess is raised by the queen, she will be considered half a legitimate daughter. If she is favored more and is loved by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, there is a great possibility that she will be canonized as a Princess of the First Rank when she comes of age and gets married.

This Princess Gulun was much higher than Princess Heshuo in terms of rank and amount of dowry.

If she was lucky and His Majesty granted her a favor, it would not be impossible for the little princess to stay in the capital. But all this was not something that an unpopular Heshuo Princess could get.

As a result, it was shocking that Concubine Zhang actually chose Ma Jia. She even said righteously: "I believe that Sister Ma Jia will definitely take good care of my little princess."

Is this a fool? Ji Nai, Concubine Nara and others were very puzzled by Zhang's train of thought. She didn't even think about it. If she really cared about the little princess, she would naturally be raised by the queen and get more benefits. How could a concubine's foster mother compare to her?

Besides, she had already cheated Ma Jiashi so much, so she was not afraid that she would not care about her children. You know, taking good care of children's food, clothing, housing and transportation is one thing, but whether you care about them is another thing, and there is a lot to be done here.

Isn't it always the case with those servants in the palace who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak? They are respectful to you on the surface, but they always have excuses to shirk and neglect the tasks you give them.

But I am very good at saving face. Even if I go to their door, they will have reasonable reasons to respond, and I will end up with a reputation as a petty and nosy person.

Zhang was so obsessed with becoming the queen's dog that she didn't even care about her own children.

"Look, Sister Ma Jia, even Sister Zhang said so."

Although in general, after the birth mother of the child speaks, His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager will consider the birth mother's wishes. But this also depends on the actual situation. If His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager have other considerations, then Zhang's opinion is not important at all.

It also depends on the weight of the royal heir's biological mother in the emperor's heart. For someone like Zhang who is not favored at all, her voice may not even reach the emperor's ears.

"I didn't know that Concubine Zhang trusted me so much, but your words don't count. In the end, His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager have to speak on this matter, and I will listen to them."

Ji Nai's words completely ignored the queen, implicitly mocking that although the queen was the master of the harem, she still had to listen to Kangxi and the Empress Dowager about the affairs in the harem, so how could she make the decision?

Although it is true that the empress should be in charge of the affairs of the harem according to the rules, the actual situation is always different. Now, Kangxi did not trust the empress wholeheartedly and entrust the entire harem to her, so the empress's power was naturally not that great.

Otherwise, if the queen of the previous life had asked, Kangxi would never have refused.

The Queen's face was a little stiff. She had lost her mind and actually thought that a group of concubines' harsh words could influence the Emperor's decision.

No matter what she was arguing with them, she should naturally direct her anger at His Majesty, but with Concubine Zhang around, the Queen was still quite confident.
