Chapter 364
Chapter 364
Huipin put great emphasis on the words "latecomers prevail". No matter whether Rongpin was a fellow villager who traveled through time or was reborn, she must have been unable to get over the fact that she had fallen from being the most favored concubine of Kangxi in his early years to the last of the four concubines.
Ji Nai found it funny. It turned out to be another test from Huipin. She thought the other party had some plan. It seemed that the previous statement that "it is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines" did not completely dispel Huipin's suspicion.
"Concubine Hui, I am already the mistress of a palace. How many mistresses can there be in the six palaces in the east and west combined?" Ji Nai meant that even if I stopped here and could not make any further progress, my status in the palace would not be low.
Besides, is this possible?
Unless something major happened suddenly before Kangxi conferred titles on the six palaces, causing Ji Nai to not only lose Kangxi's favor, but also lose all her children.
But even if this was the case, no matter how completely his former lover had changed and how she had lost his favor and children overnight, Kangxi might not have forgotten their old relationship and given Ji Nai a high position so that she could "take care of herself in her old age."
How serious could it be that she didn't even feel guilty? Ji Nai was no fool. With her current favor and power, there would be many servants who wanted to join her. It was impossible for her to be unaware of such a plot.
Huipin froze for a moment, because she thought about what Rongpin said and found that it seemed to be true, so the other party could sit back and do nothing, instead of jumping up and down like Irgen Jueluo and others, and anxiously starting to pull other people's children.
After all, if one is out of favor, if one wants a higher position, one can only rely on offspring. For the sake of the princes and princesses, Kangxi would not let the mother of the crown prince be too "miserable".
"But even the position of the head of a palace is divided into high and low levels. Sister is so glorious now, aren't you afraid that you may not be as good as the newcomers in the end?"
"It's time, it's fate. If this is really the case, then it's because I'm not as skilled as others."
"Sister Ma Jia is so calm, so calm, like she's not a girl of her age."
Seeing Nara's persistent probing, Ji Nai asked back, "What about you? Aren't you anxious? After all, my situation is much better than yours. Instead of focusing on my affairs, why don't you think about your own path?"
Huipin showed a hurt expression and said, "Sister, what do you mean? I'm just worried about you."
“In fact, I wanted to say this a long time ago. My mother did give me an older sister and a younger sister, but God was not kind to them and they died early.
Apart from that, I don’t have any other sisters. You guys keep calling each other sisters, really, don’t you find it offensive at all?”
Huipin paused. She had never thought about it before. It was mainly because everyone called her that, so she got used to it. But now, hearing what Ma Jia said, it was indeed hypocritical.
They say affectionate things, but they might be planning to stab each other in the back.
Seeing that Nara seemed to be thinking about something, Ji Nai stopped talking and continued to discuss the solution to the rumor. After finishing, he said, "The safety of Sochorolo is in your hands," and sent the man away.
On the way back to the Yanxi Palace, Huipin suddenly came to her senses. Was she being led by Ma Jia again? It seemed that this test had failed again.
Although Ma Jia's answers were flawless after several attempts, she did not believe that Ma Jia was really a native. In other words, she was unwilling to believe that Ma Jia's success was entirely due to herself.
In February, Concubine Hui Nara went to the Qianqing Palace in person.
This was the first time since Concubine Hui fell out of favor after giving birth to Prince Yinzhen that she took the initiative to look for His Majesty. Everyone in the palace thought that this was a signal that Nara was starting to compete for favor.
For a moment, all the concubines, regardless of their social status or favor, were panicked. They had seen how arrogant the powerful Nara clan was, and even the Empress, who had not yet been rejected by His Majesty, was overwhelmed by the pressure, let alone them.
If Nara really thought it through, stopped being so stubborn and refused to bow her head, and took the initiative to submit to His Majesty, even if His Majesty has a new favorite now, there is still a possibility that the old love will be rekindled.
Although Nara and Majia occupied the majority in the past, those who were not favored at least had a share of the spoils. But now that Majia was pregnant and Nara was silent, they had more opportunities.
Rongpin Ma Jiashi was also a good-natured person. Although she didn't like to deal with people, she wouldn't deliberately harass anyone unless they danced in front of her. Judging from the results of the palace affairs during this period, this was also fair.
The most important thing is that maybe because she has no shortage of princes, or maybe because Ma Jia is really a good person, she will not attack the heir to the throne. Just look at the harem without a master, but Suo Chuoluo is still fine, we can know that she did not use the power in her hands to do anything.
Regardless of whether Ma Jia's kindness is true or false, after all, she is more reassuring than the one in Kunning Palace, isn't she?
So during this period, the concubines in the palace had a very comfortable life. But what would happen after Nara regained her favor? By then, would there still be a way for them to survive?
But soon, everyone felt relieved.
News came from the Qianqing Palace that Concubine Hui Nara had misbehaved in front of the emperor and was expelled from the Qianqing Palace.
How could the news from the Palace of Heavenly Purity be known so easily? Not to mention that it spread to all the six palaces so quickly, I'm afraid this was His Majesty's intention.
His Majesty was so merciless to Nara, which showed that Nara had no weight in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Nara held power in the palace, these concubines would have rushed over and tore Nara's bones and muscles.
After all, she was the former favorite concubine, and the incident of Nara's misconduct in front of the emperor caused quite a stir for a while.
Even the Empress Dowager said to Su Malagu: "Tell me, what does the Emperor mean to Nara?"
It seemed cruel to spread the news and let Nara be laughed at by the harem, but the Empress Dowager did not ignore the fact that Nara was not punished.
Yes, the news of Nara's misconduct in front of the emperor came from the Qianqing Palace, but the result was that she was just expelled from the Qianqing Palace, but there was no news about how Kangxi dealt with Nara.
It was not just the Empress Dowager who noticed this. It was precisely because they were unsure of what Kangxi meant that those who were waiting for an opportunity did not take advantage of it.
This is the truth that Nara was only laughed at but not seriously injured. After all, in Huipin's view, she angered Kangxi and was only laughed at by everyone in the end, which was the best result.
Anyway, she was in a high position, so those people didn't dare to say anything to her face. At most, they would make a few sarcastic remarks, which were just subtle sarcasm and had no lethality.
