Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 229: Peaceful Pregnancy

"Shoukang Palace has just had a prince, and together with the third princess, there are already two children. Regardless of whether you give birth to a boy or a girl, His Majesty will not give the child to the Empress Dowager's family.

The Queen is hostile to you, and she and Rongpin both have children, so she is not the best candidate. Do you think His Majesty will raise the child himself? Naturally, it will be given to other concubines."

Concubine Hui naturally understood that what Nanny Wu said was true. The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Concubine Rong were not suitable. As for Kangxi, Concubine Hui had never counted on him at all.

Even though Concubine Hui knew that Yinreng was raised by him personally in history, she also knew that her own child did not have that honor.

So there were only a group of concubines left.

As for Concubine Li, she was the first to get the upper hand because she was close to the water and she also built up momentum for herself first. Regardless of her purpose, her character had been established. When considering candidates, she always had to give priority to her.

Concubine Hui's face turned black. If she was gone, she wouldn't mind His Majesty finding a foster mother for the child so that the child could live a better life. But now that she was still alive, someone was already coveting her child?

Concubine Hui was both shocked and angry.

Nanny Wu comforted him, "Master, it's never too late to deal with Concubine Li, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid Concubine Li and those who share the same thoughts as her will really get what they want."

Concubine Hui remained silent. Although she did not agree, she did not refute either.

Nanny Wu continued, "I know you care about Prince Chengqing, but only when you are alive will someone care about him. If you are gone, someone in this palace will remember her."

Concubine Hui was shocked. She suddenly thought of the eldest prince Yinzhen who was ranked first in the historical order. And how many people remembered those children who died early and were not ranked?

She remembered when she first entered the palace and met Ma Jia, now Concubine Rong. She always showed pity and sympathy to the other party with a condescending attitude, while also looking down on this loser.

But what is the difference between the two of them? After Chengqing passed away, she experienced firsthand the pain of being stabbed in the heart. This time alone, she almost lost half her life. It is hard to imagine how Ma Jia survived four times.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hui asked a question that had nothing to do with their current conversation, "Do you think that Ma Jia was so eager to send Saiyin Chahun to Shoukang Palace in order to avoid losing him again?"

Nanny Wu wanted to remind Concubine Hui that this was inappropriate as it was an allusion to the Queen, but then she changed her mind and realized that she had already said more extreme things, so it didn't matter if she said this one more thing.

"Mammy, don't worry. I understand. The most important thing now is to give birth safely."

"Oh, I'm glad that the master can figure it out." Nanny Wu almost cried for joy. Concubine Hui finally figured it out, and she could save her head.

In the evening, Nanny Wu went out for a while, and it seemed that she was heading towards the Qianqing Palace. The servants in the Yanx Palace who noticed this did not think it was a big deal. After all, Nanny Wu was sent by the Emperor, and this matter was already an open secret.

Except for one person.

Cui Xin stared at Nanny Wu's back until she could no longer see her. Then she put away the gloom in her eyes and turned to walk into the bedroom.

When Concubine Hui saw her coming in, she tacitly said nothing and dismissed everyone first, then asked, "Why, Nanny Wu went to the Qianqing Palace again?"

"Master, you are wise. Even though that is His Majesty, what Madam Wu did is too disrespectful to you. It is only because of your good nature that you have kept this treacherous servant for so long."

"Let her go."

"Yes." Seeing that Concubine Hui didn't care, Cui Xin didn't say anything more, just lowered her hands and obeyed the order. She thought that the master would be unhappy and teach Kunning Palace a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui said, "Let's put Kunning Palace aside for now and withdraw all the personnel."

Cui Xin's face was frozen. She still wanted to save the situation and advised, "Master, if we stop now, won't all our efforts be wasted? Aren't we going to avenge our brother?"

"Madame Wu is right. The most important thing right now is the baby in my belly. As for the queen, I will make her pay the price, but not now."

After all, she was about to give birth next month, and at this time, she was the most vulnerable and could easily be taken advantage of. If Chenghu died at this time, who knew what kind of madness the queen would go. This was her eldest prince, and no one could let anything happen to him.

When Cui Xin heard this, she knew that Concubine Hui had made up her mind. Although she was reluctant, she still followed the order and went out to do her job.

In the dim light, two figures could be vaguely seen huddled together. I didn't know what one of them said, but the other suddenly became a little excited and his voice became louder.

"why?"

"Alas, I don't know what the master is thinking, but since the master has given the order, we will obey."

"It has come to this. How can I accept this without a suitable reason? I want to go see the master!"

"You, why are you so stubborn? The master won't see you."

"Sister, do you know something? If you do, tell me so that I can give up."

"...Okay, but these are just my guesses. Just listen to what I say and don't take it to heart."

"Okay, sister, don't worry."

"You also know that the master is going to give birth next month, and she must have made plans for this child. After all, he is the legitimate son of the queen, and he is of great significance. If the master really did this, even if she is lucky enough not to die, she will fall out of favor."

The person on the other side murmured, "So, the master doesn't intend to take revenge."

"This cannot be blamed on the master. After all, no matter how much he misses Brother Chengqing, he is already dead. How can he be more important than a living person? However, this is just my guess. Maybe, maybe the master has other plans, and we will wait until later..."

In the future, she could wait for a few more days, knowing that Cui Xin was comforting her. The man promised to stop, but only she knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Looking at the distraught figure leaving, Cui Xin had a strange smile on her lips.

In the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was also listening to Nanny Wu's report. He only cared about what Nara said about Ji Nai. As for other treasonous remarks, he was used to hearing them since Chengqing's death.

Kangxi didn't care about Nara's resentment towards the Queen, and he didn't even care whether Nara would take action against the Queen. People are biased, and Kangxi naturally cared more about Nara who lost her child than the Queen who murdered many of his children.

Not to mention, Kangxi also felt guilty towards her. After all, he was the one who started the dispute between the Queen and Nara clan. If you look closely, Chengqing's death was also due to his own reasons.

But this insignificant concern seems too insignificant compared to Ji Nai who really cares about him.

"Did she really say that?"

"Which sentence does Your Majesty mean?"

"Nara said that Rongpin was eager to send Saiyinchahun to Shoukang Palace in order to avoid losing him again."

Nanny Wu originally thought that His Majesty would first focus on the fact that Concubine Hui was willing to rest and take care of her pregnancy. The royal heir is the most important at all times, and only then would he bring up matters related to the Queen.

However, Nanny Wu never thought that His Majesty would actually mention a sentence that Concubine Hui mentioned casually. Yes, in her opinion, Concubine Hui just mentioned it casually, without any deep meaning.

Before, this ancestor often had unfocused thoughts. At first, Nanny Wu was confused, but later she realized that she just had to ignore it and never follow Concubine Hui's logic.

"Yes, perhaps Master Nala was just speaking from his heart?" Nanny Wu did not expect His Majesty to ask this, and answered cautiously.

Kangxi felt a strange feeling in his heart. He always felt that what Nala said was very strange. In order to not lose again? But what did Ji Nai lose? Was it Chengrui's health?

But Kangxi's instinct was not right, but no matter how many doubts he had, he had to suppress them for the time being.

"It would be best if she is willing to settle down. Take good care of her during this period. I will order the Imperial Hospital to be on standby at all times. Remember, guard the Yanxi Palace well. Otherwise, I will settle Chengqing's account with you."

Nanny Wu knelt down with a plop, resting her head on the cold floor tiles, and promised word by word: "I will definitely protect the heir to the throne and Concubine Hui."

"If you can't do it, you'll come to me with your head."
