Chapter 432 The Right to Refuse
Chapter 432 The Right to Refuse
But there was no way, because all the healthy princes in the palace were her, Ma Jia's children. Even the Empress Dowager didn't say anything, so how could they dare to have any objections?
I can only blame my own stomach.
But did the Empress Dowager really have no opinion at all? Of course it was impossible.
Just because of the issue of the empress's position, the relationship between her and Kangxi had become very strained. At the beginning of the year, in order to express her dissatisfaction with Yinreng's move to the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager even "fell ill", but Kangxi remained indifferent.
The child has grown up, and the Empress Dowager can no longer be as tough with him as she is with her own son. After all, there is something between them.
But apart from myself, who else in this palace can persuade the emperor?
Su Malagu understood her own princess's temperament. If this matter was not resolved, the princess would not be able to bear it any longer one day. Even though she knew that speaking up would affect the relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter, she would not ignore it.
Therefore, she was more anxious than the Grand Empress Dowager. Secretly not wanting her master to speak, she began to think about who could be used, and finally, Su Malagu thought of someone.
"Rong Fei?"
"Exactly. Do you think Rong Fei is suitable?"
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but frown. In her opinion, Concubine Rong was not the most suitable candidate.
After all, judging from what the emperor has done, Rong Fei probably has no status in his heart. Even if she speaks up, can she really persuade the emperor?
Su Malagu patiently advised, "Princess, nowadays, apart from Prince Yinreng, there is no one else in the palace that His Majesty cares about."
But Prince Yinreng was just a baby, how could he advise the Emperor?
"Gege, why don't you give it a try? It's really not a good idea to keep dragging it out."
Su Malagu's words hit the nail on the head for the Empress Dowager. You know, she had been considering the candidate for the empress's throne for a long time, even when Hesheli was still alive.
"That's fine, but would Rong Fei be willing?" This matter might offend Kangxi. Rong Fei is already in a dangerous situation, so I'm afraid she won't be willing to get involved in this matter.
"There was a lot of commotion in the palace before, and Concubine Rong summoned the concubines to give them a lecture. It can be seen that she is not only not fond of taking power, but also sensible and knows her limits. I think she can also understand the Empress Dowager's painstaking efforts."
Besides, if the Empress Dowager really spoke, would Concubine Rong dare to refuse even if she was reluctant?
No matter how the superiors phrase the multiple-choice questions to the inferiors, there is actually only one option.
Su Malagu did have a good impression of Rong Fei, but this little bit of goodwill seemed insignificant when compared with the princess who had accompanied her for her entire life.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, indicating her agreement with the matter.
Zhongcuigong
Nanny Li and others looked at Ji Nai with concern, while Yuan Xu was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"What the hell, like you two have such a good relationship.
In the past, the Cining Palace was always on guard against you, fearing that you would confuse Kangxi. Later, they took advantage of the situation and snatched Saiyin Chahun away. Now, they even want to put the trouble on your head.
Are you crazy? "
Ji Nai was speaking to Li Ma and the others, and was also explaining to Yuan Xu.
"This matter is difficult to handle. It might anger His Majesty. But it is precisely because of this that the Grand Empress Dowager handed it over to me. After all, the Grand Empress Dowager is old and sick, and I am afraid she does not have the energy to take charge."
Everyone knows what being old and sick means. The Empress Dowager is afraid that she and the Emperor will become estranged, so she asked their master to take the lead.
"Master, we can't..." Yu Sheng said worriedly.
"No, the Empress Dowager has spoken, and I have no right to refuse."
The atmosphere in Zhongcui Palace became very solemn. If they spoke, they might offend His Majesty, but if they didn't, they might offend the Empress Dowager. They were caught in a dilemma, and no matter what they did, they would not gain any benefit.
Ji Nai smiled and comforted him, "However, you don't have to worry too much. I have always been honest with His Majesty and told him the truth. I have never hidden anything from His Majesty, and this time will be no different."
"Having said that, the master is a concubine. If she talks too much about the affairs of the imperial palace, I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression on the emperor." Even though this matter was ordered by the Empress Dowager.
Ji Nai felt a little embarrassed. Nanny Li probably didn't realize that she had been too talkative many times, otherwise she wouldn't be so worried.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't have any objections at Zhongcui Palace, we still have to wait and see how His Majesty reacts. The people at Cining Palace will know whether we've said what we said or not."
So, although it is necessary to say it, there are still some tricks on how to say it.
As soon as Kangxi entered Zhongcui Palace, he found something wrong today. The servants in Zhongcui Palace were secretly looking at him, which had never happened before.
Although Kangxi was often angry with Ji Nai for pushing the power of the palace out, he never doubted Ji Nai's ability. In addition, there was also Li Ma who came from the Qianqing Palace, so the rules of the servants in Zhongcui Palace were always very good.
Even when Hesheli was still alive, the palace ladies in Kunning Palace could not compare to her.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Hesheli, as the queen, couldn’t even control the servants in her own palace.
After all, the Hesheli family had a good education. Even if he was young and inexperienced, while Ji Nai had decades more experience in cheating, the difference would not be too big.
The main reason is that because their master is the queen, the servants in Kunning Palace are somewhat arrogant. When facing other servants in the palace, they always have an attitude of "You are an ant, you can't get close to me!"
Even when dealing with the servants of the Qianqing Palace, he was at most a little restrained, and did not show the respect and flattery of ordinary servants.
After all, they still failed to put themselves in the right position, and this was also because the master of Kunning Palace, Hesheli, knew the character of her servants but never restrained them.
Because she thought so too.
"What happened?"
Xiao Anzi's body stiffened and he was too timid to answer.
Liang Jiugong went up and slapped him, scolding: "You dare to hesitate when the emperor asks you a question!" This kid usually looks smart, why is he so stupid today?
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to talk about this. It's just that as a eunuch, I'm not qualified to speak on this matter." Xiao Anzi glanced at Kangxi secretly and said cautiously, "Why don't you go ask the master?"
Kangxi was not angry because of Xiao Anzi's attitude. In fact, most of the time, he was very tolerant of the people around Ji Nai.
He raised his eyebrows and went to ask Ji Nai for the answer.
Liang Jiugong knew that the two masters had something to say, so he did not follow them in and just stopped at the door.
After Kangxi disappeared, he glared at Xiao Anzi, "What the hell are you doing! If it weren't for the sake of Concubine Rong, you would have been dragged away long ago just based on your actions today."
