Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 293 Scolding the Queen Mother

In fact, Concubine Dong didn't want to come today. Anything related to the Queen was troublesome. But Concubine Hui was right. Since the Empress Dowager had spoken, they couldn't pretend not to know, otherwise they would be derelict in their duty.

Who knows, the Empress Dowager was already very dissatisfied with this, and when she brought it up that day she was just trying to warn them.

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised at first, wondering why someone would come to her just to ask about this matter.

Ji Nai smiled awkwardly and explained to the Grand Empress Dowager, "Before, the servants in Kunning Palace made mistakes and were all punished by His Majesty. After that, no more palace servants were sent there. I dare not say much, for fear that he might have other considerations."

"But the Empress Dowager is right. The Queen is still the Queen after all. We were negligent before." It was Concubine Dong who took over.

Ever since the last incident, Concubine Dong has become very active and just wants to change her image in the minds of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager as soon as possible.

"It's just that we are all concubines, so it's not right for us to make decisions on our own when it comes to the Queen's affairs."

Of course, this is only one aspect. The more important reason is that Ji Nai, Hui Bin and others are worried that once something happens to these people, they still have a grudge against the queen. Isn’t this a ready-made handle?

Even if they didn't say it, the Empress Dowager understood this.

But the Empress Dowager didn't want to get involved.

But judging from the situation, I guess Rongpin and Huipin are unwilling to take it, so the most suitable person to arrange it is only me. The Empress Dowager thought about it and finally said, "I have made a note of it and will discuss it with the Emperor."

Well, the Queen Mother also intends to pass the buck.

But it would be better if Kangxi made the arrangements himself, as this would make them less suspicious. Ji Nai and Huipin's eyes met inadvertently, and then they looked away naturally as if nothing had happened.

On the way back, Concubine Dong was still regretting. Why was her heart beating non-stop? Nothing would happen, right? She always felt that Rongpin and Huipin came to her together, and it was definitely not a good thing for the queen.

But what they said was not wrong. As long as she continued to hold the power in the palace, she could not avoid this matter. If she had known this earlier, she would rather have been confined like Irgen Jueluo.

But the confined concubine Irgen Juelu didn't think so. After she received the news and knew she was left behind again, she has been angry.

Why? Everyone has been ordered to manage the palace affairs, why am I left behind?

Also, it’s okay for Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui. She has thought it through and realized that she is still far inferior to them. It is not appropriate to break up with them at this stage. But who is Dong? Isn’t she just a princess?

The unwilling concubine Irgen Juelu thought that the Empress Dowager might have let Dong off lightly because of the Second Princess.

Although a princess is not as good as a prince, she is still the emperor's daughter. If she also had a child, perhaps the empress dowager would not be so ruthless that day.

However, Concubine Irgen Juelu also understood that it was impossible for her to get pregnant, at least in the short term. After three months of house arrest, the Emperor might even forget who she was.

So, she set her sights on existing children.

Of course, princes were a scarce resource in the palace, and she didn't have the ability to get them. Not to mention that Prince Yinzhen was outside the palace, Prince Saiyinchahun was in Shoukang Palace, and the remaining Prince Chengrui was a sickly person. Even so, if she dared to reach out, Rongpin would fight her to the death.

As for the princesses, the biological mother of the second princess was Dong, and the third princess was not born to the Emperor and was raised in Shoukang Palace, so she had no chance except the eldest princess.

Concubine Irgen Juelu's eyes flashed, and she asked the palace servants around her to check the current situation of the eldest princess.

However, he didn't know that he could have just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his labor, without having to do anything, and he could have had a daughter for free.

But now, whether because of the influence of the rumors or in order to suppress the unrealistic ambitions of Concubine Irgen Gioro, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager would no longer consider handing over the eldest princess to her.

However, at this time, Concubine Irgen Juelu did not know that her efforts would be in vain and she would be making things easier for others.

On this day, the Grand Empress Dowager summoned the Empress Dowager, who had not appeared for several days, and gave her a lecture in front of Kangxi. Kangxi tried to interrupt her several times but failed. In the end, he could only watch his stepmother's face getting redder and redder, and her head lowered lower and lower.

Kangxi naturally knew that the Empress Dowager had deliberately made such a gesture for him to see, just to calm himself down and not hold a grudge against the Empress Dowager.

But in fact, Kangxi had never been angry with his stepmother. After all, he had seen her character very clearly since he was a child, and it was normal for her to be deceived by servants.

Back then, even with the support of the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was bullied by Concubine Dong E and had to stand aside. Although she was the Empress, her situation was not much better than that of her own mother.

Of course, if it weren't for her personality, Kangxi would not have agreed to hand over the Third Princess and Saiyin Chahun to her. So Kangxi would only be angry at the servant's audacity, but would not vent his anger on the Empress Dowager who was not strict in her rule.

While the Empress Dowager was talking dry and stopped to drink a sip of tea, Kangxi interrupted and said, "Why is the Empress Dowager so angry? The Empress Dowager was just deceived by me. Since the matter is over, there is no need to mention it again."

The Empress Dowager carefully observed Kangxi's expression and found that he really didn't seem to mind, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, after all, the third princess was fine, so there was no need for the emperor to continue to pursue the matter.

"Your Majesty is generous and does not want to pursue the matter, but I cannot help but mention it. There is no queen in the palace, and the Queen Mother is in charge. She should do her best. Such things must never happen again. The princes and princesses are the treasures of the royal family. How can we allow a group of lowly people to bully and humiliate them!"

The words of the Grand Empress Dowager were a bit harsh, and tears instantly fell from the Empress Dowager's already moist eyes. She felt a little aggrieved. The so-called head was just a title, and her great aunt knew it, so why did she say such harsh words?

But the Queen Mother did not dare to refute, and weakly agreed, "Yes, I will do my best."

Seeing the Empress Dowager's reaction, the Grand Empress Dowager felt a little embarrassed. This was in front of the Emperor, and Wu Yunna's appearance was a little too disgraceful.

After all, I was the one who spoiled her.

The Grand Empress Dowager sighed, she was really tired. The reason why she said such harsh words was not because she really blamed Wu Yunna, but just to assure the Emperor that such things would never happen again in the palace in the future.

It was naturally impossible for Wu Yunna to do it with her ability, so it was I who made the guarantee. I just didn't expect that the emperor understood such a simple meaning, but Wu Yunna didn't notice it at all.

Wuyunna cannot establish herself, Hesheli is a vicious woman, and the emperor is still afraid of her. Is the harem really going to be handed over to two concubines of bondservant origin?

At this time, the Empress Dowager had already had a vague idea in her mind, but it had not yet taken shape, so it was ignored.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what are your plans for Kunning Palace? You can't just ask the imperial guards to guard it all the time. After all, Hesheli has not been deposed. This would be too embarrassing."

Kangxi paused while drinking tea, then returned to normal, "What does the Imperial Grandmother mean?"

"Even if you want to rest and recuperate, you can't have only one nanny to serve you all the time. This is against the rules. If the emperor is worried, it would be better for him to choose some with clean backgrounds."

Kangxi was somewhat unwilling. Sparing Hesheli's life was already his greatest mercy. Based on what she had done in the past, she could forget about continuing to be supported comfortably.

The Grand Empress Dowager saw Kangxi's reluctance and patiently advised him, "At least you have to keep it to face the truth. Otherwise, if word gets out, those people won't dare to say anything bad about you, but will point the finger at the person in charge."

The Empress Dowager's words were very cryptic. Who was in charge? It could be said that she was worried about the Empress Dowager, or it could be said that she was worried about Ji Nai and the other three. It all depended on whether there was anyone among them that Kangxi cared about.

Kangxi closed his eyes and finally compromised, "I will let Liang Jiugong handle this matter."

"By the way, has the emperor decided where the eldest princess should go?"

When Kangxi heard the name "Grand Princess", his head ached, "Not really."

"Before, Yirgen Jueluo Concubine was a candidate, but now I think she is not suitable. After screening the concubines in the palace, Rongpin and Huipin are the most suitable."
