Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 500 Tong Jia panicked

Tong Jia's face turned pale. She was not worried that her cousin would punish her severely. She was worried that her cousin would misunderstand her because of the instigation of the Empress Dowager, Ma Jia and others.

However, even though Tong Jia was anxiously waiting in Chengqian Palace, she did not dare to take the initiative to find Kangxi. She could only ask Tong Ma over and over again if she was okay.

Tong Jia's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very anxious, which made her look even more like Empress Xiaokangzhang. Not only were their expressions similar, but even some of their small movements were exactly the same, which made Tong Ma Ma dazed.

Looking at the Princess Tong who seemed like her old master resurrected, Nanny Tong's desire to protect her was overflowing, and she almost patted her chest and promised that she would definitely protect her master.

Nanny Tong was as energized as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She ordered the palace servants who had huddled in the corner because of the arrival of the Empress Dowager to continue with their work. However, she did not notice that her master was looking at her back with sarcasm, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Looking at the palace maids who were in a hurry and making frequent mistakes, Tong Ma was still thinking that this batch of new palace maids were not useful, and she planned to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick out a few good ones one day.

At this moment, a calm and quiet figure appeared in Tong Ma's sight. After a little recollection, Tong Ma remembered that this person was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because he was not chosen by Rong Fei and Hui Bin, he was kept.

Tong Mama's palace fighting radar went online and she stared at the palace servant in front of her. Only when the other party turned around and revealed his full appearance did Tong Mama breathe a sigh of relief.

Such a woman would indeed be eye-catching outside the palace, but she would not be so attractive in the harem full of beauties. Her pretty face would seem too dull among the beauties who are either graceful, glamorous, or charming.

Unless she could grow up to be as beautiful and elegant as Rong Fei Ma Jia, like a goddess or fairy, it would be a pipe dream for a mere palace maid to make a name for herself without anyone's support.

However, Nanny Tong eventually kept this person in mind. She believed that there must be something wrong when things were abnormal. There were not so many coincidences and accidents in this palace.

The mess in Chengqian Palace had not yet been cleaned up when news came that Concubine Rong was under house arrest.

Tong Jia's resentment was instantly dispelled. "Mammy, what are you afraid of? My cousin doesn't even care about the children, and he wants to deal with Rong Fei. It's obvious that he is really angry this time."

Nanny Tong was not so relieved. Even Huipin Nara, who attacked the legitimate prince, did not receive such a severe punishment.

How could a high-ranking concubine who had children and was favored be severely punished just because she fought with her master?

Even if she was dissatisfied with Rong Fei for hurting the royal heir in her womb out of a quarrel, she is now under house arrest and several princes and princesses from Zhongcui Palace have been taken away. Aren't they afraid that the child will be hurt?

There must be something else going on that caused His Majesty to be so furious.

If it had nothing to do with her master, it would be fine. But if... I don't know if the Empress and the Tong family can save the princess's face.

Tong Jia naturally knew what Nanny Tong was worried about, but she felt that she was worrying too much. Since her cousin did not punish her, it proved that he did not care about her mistakes, or was reluctant to do anything to her.

Then the incident in which she plotted against Concubine Rong and nearly caused her to have a miscarriage would naturally be forgotten.

Could it be that my cousin is going to settle scores with me for an outsider?

Tong Jia, who appeared confident and believed that her cousin had deep feelings for her, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She never thought that Rong Fei would actually have a miscarriage.

In Tong Jia's view, what she did was just an allusion and there was no actual evidence. Even if everyone in the six palaces suspected that Rong Fei and Hui Bin had done something, even if even her cousin stood on her side, those two would not be in any trouble.

It would be fine if the evidence was irrefutable and the death penalty was inevitable, but there were many children in Zhongcui Palace, and it would be a good deal to introduce a royal heir whose gender was not yet known in order to appease the emperor's anger.

But the key point is that things have not reached that point at all. The royal heir is so precious, and one more means one more guarantee. Tong Jia never thought that Rong Fei would be so cruel.

Tong Jia didn't think that Rong Fei was really being plotted against. It was a joke. How could someone who could give birth to so many children safely under Hesheli and protect them be just a simple character?

Look at another concubine in the palace, Huipin, who successfully gave birth to a prince when Hesheli was still alive. However, she had a miscarriage and another prince died young.

Therefore, Tong Jia firmly believed that this was Rong Fei's self-torture trick. Even though Rong Fei's condition was really serious, and she almost had a miscarriage, Tong Jia still did not change her mind.

She almost had a miscarriage, but she hadn't had a miscarriage yet. Besides, if it were her, she would also be willing to use a child to eliminate a strong contender for the position of queen.

Yes, from the very beginning, Tonggiya regarded Rong Fei as a stumbling block on the road to the empress position. Although this idea was somewhat degrading, Tonggiya did raise Rong Fei to the same level as Niuhulu.

Although she did not spend much time with her cousin as a child, she still had some understanding of this emperor who ascended the throne as a teenager.

Her cousin was a man of strict rules, not only to others but also to himself.

But once he no longer cares so much about the rules, it means that the other party is very important in his heart, important enough to make him cross the bottom line.

The palace was full of concubines, but Rong Fei and Hui Bin had positions and titles. Tong Jia never thought that it was only because they could give birth.

In fact, Tong Jia was very clear about her position and knew that in her cousin's heart, she represented more than just herself.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that even if she did something that her cousin would not tolerate, he would most likely forgive her, even if...

The worst outcome would be that she would "die of illness" and then the Tong family would send another princess in.

But her shortcomings are also obvious. In her cousin's heart, she is his aunt's niece, the princess of the Tong family, and his cousin, but not herself.

Even if she succeeds in winning her cousin's heart in the future, how much of it will truly belong to her?

This question is both important and unimportant.

Because Tong Jia entered the palace not just for the untouchable emperor's sincerity, she wanted the position that her aunt had longed for all her life but had no chance to sit on.

If she could have the emperor's sincere companionship on this journey, she would be able to walk more smoothly and calmly.

However, Tong Jia also understood that it was impossible for her to develop a deep relationship with her cousin the emperor in such a short period of time as she had just entered the palace. All she could rely on was the halo brought by her status.

These layers of halos allowed her to stand at a point that many people could never reach in their entire lives.

Fortunately, Tong Jia is not someone who is easily consumed by internal friction. Since she already knows that she is inseparable from the Tong family, she will not enjoy the convenience brought by her status while worrying that it will eventually become an obstacle for her.

Isn’t this what happened to the Tonggiya clan in history? While Kangxi allowed the Tong family to rise rapidly, he was also curbing the excessive power of his foreign relatives.

The Hesheli family had a legitimate prince who had ascended to the throne of Crown Prince, the Niuhulu family had a concubine who had a son, and the Tong family...

Tong Banchao of the previous dynasty was very famous, and even the princes and brothers did not care about her. However, in the harem, Tong Jia was first defeated in the competition for the queen position, and then, even after Empress Niuhulu passed away, she was unable to sit on that position as she wished.

If Kangxi had not finally softened his heart, Tong Jia would probably have remained an imperial concubine until her death.

As for her younger sister, Noble Consort Hui, she was not only inferior to her own elder sister, but also to the sisters of Hesheli and Niuhulu.

She was not favored at all and had no children in her life. The title of Imperial Noble Consort was given to her after Yinzhen's child came to power.

Although she was a noble concubine and was superior to the four concubines, and even the palace power was managed by five people together, none of them took her seriously.

The four concubines Hui, Yi, De and Rong all had princes and were favored. They were able to stand out in the harem and remain standing in the end. No matter what they relied on, they must have some means.

In their eyes, this little Tonggiya was nothing more than a mascot, a tool for Kangxi to show his favor to his mother's family.

Kangxi was truly a qualified emperor. Even when bestowing favors, he would always know when to act in moderation and check and balance the forces of all parties so that no one party would dominate.

However, Tong Jia, who thought her cousin would not blame her, panicked after waiting for her cousin day after day.
