Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 460 Chengqian Palace

Nanny Zhou was not actually as calm as she looked, but seeing that her princess knew what was going on, she was completely relieved and began to instruct the palace servants to put things away.

Before they moved in, the Yiku Palace had been cleaned very thoroughly, but the master's dowry was too large, and it would take a lot of effort just to move it. They also had to find the things that the master often used, and all of this had to be done before nightfall.

When the palace maid reported that Rong Fei and Hui Pin were coming to visit, a hint of surprise flashed in Nianhulu's eyes. She thought that the first person to come would be Liang Jiugong from the Qianqing Palace.

It seems that these two people are far more favored by the Emperor than she thought.

Niuhulu stood up to greet her, but was then dazzled by Rong Fei's face. It took her a moment to react. Just as she was about to salute, she saw Huipin take action first.

Niuhulu's eyes flashed, and then she quickly adjusted her movements, changing from kneeling to bowing. Sure enough, she saw Rong Fei returning the greeting.

(In the Qing Dynasty, palace maids or concubines of lower rank bowed to those of higher rank than themselves, and those of higher rank would kneel down to greet those of higher rank. However, between equals, they only needed to nod, smile, or bow slightly.)

Ji Nai smiled and said, "It was your Majesty's first day in the palace. I should have come to visit you earlier, but I was worried that you hadn't settled in properly, so I waited a while. I hope you can forgive me."

"I am now a concubine, and I dare not bear the title of 'Your Majesty'."

"It was His Majesty's intention. Some time ago, His Majesty specifically instructed him to do so. His original words were: After Concubine Niuhulu takes over the Yikun Palace, let Concubine Hui and I come and take a look and lend a hand."

If you don't explain things clearly to a smart person like Niuhuru, you don't know what he will imagine. It's better to explain things directly to avoid misunderstandings.

However, Ji Nai never thought of becoming an enemy of the Niuhuru clan.

Huipin stepped forward and said, "I will be assisting in the management of the palace for the time being. If Your Majesty has any instructions, please send someone to Yanxi Palace to let her know."

Niohuru smiled and invited the two in, but she had an idea in her mind. It seemed that the one the Emperor really cared about was Concubine Rong, and Concubine Hui was at least an ally of Concubine Rong.

They had no close relationship, and if Kangxi had not asked her to do so, Ji Nai would not have made this trip. But since she was here, she would not be lazy and told Nianhulu about the general situation in the palace.

Finally, he said, "The Empress Dowager is so kind that she only allows me to wait until the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month to pay my respects. Usually, the Empress Dowager will be there, so there is no need to make an extra trip to Shoukang Palace."

"Thank you." Niuhulu didn't want to say anything sisterly to bring them closer together. It was too hypocritical. She didn't need to do that, nor did she want to do that.

Rong Fei's attitude of not trying to get close to her but always showing respect made Nianhulu feel very comfortable. She felt that Ma Jia should be the same type of person as herself.

But my confidence comes from my family.

Even though His Majesty has a grudge against the Niuhulu family because of Ama's incident, the family's foundation is there.

On the other hand, what did Rong Fei Ma Jia rely on? The emperor's favor? Or his offspring?

As for Concubine Hui, Nara was not a smart person. Although she did not show her thoughts on her face, one could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

So, this is the case with the only two concubines who were promoted in the palace. What about the others in the palace? For example, the concubines who gave birth to the emperor's heirs, and the beautiful maids hidden in the Qianqing Palace.

When the conversation was almost over, Ji Nai stood up and said goodbye, "I will not disturb your majesty anymore. I will visit you another day."

After leaving the Yiku Palace, Ji Nai breathed a sigh of relief. Niuhulu was still the same Niuhulu. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Even though Ji Nai had not done anything wrong, he was still a little scared.

"Is this the Niuhulu clan? The Empress Xiao Zhaoren, who didn't live long in history?" Yuan Xu sighed, "No wonder the Empress Dowager was obsessed with her and wanted her to become the Empress."

This demeanor is almost the same as that of Hesheli, who has been in power for many years. You should know that Niuhulu is only fourteen years old now.

Huipin's attitude was similar to that of Ji Nai and Yuan Xu. She was extremely cautious after just meeting them for the first time.

If a person like Nianhulu had a cruel heart, she would definitely be more difficult to deal with than Hesheli. Huipin, who had just helped her son solve a problem, was hit hard.

If at the beginning she still had a habitual contempt and did not think that a fourteen-year-old child could threaten herself and Yinzhi, now she could only feel fortunate.

Fortunately, Rong Fei brought her with her when she came to Yiku Palace this time. Huipin was a little dissatisfied at first, thinking that Rong Fei treated her as a little follower.

Huipin looked at Rongfei and said hesitantly, "Did you bring me on this special trip?"

"You think too much.

I just feel that I am not familiar with Concubine Nianhulu, and it would be too awkward for the first meeting between the two of us, so I want to find someone to accompany me.

But the others are all concubines, so it would be bad to call any of them and leave any of them out, and calling them all would be too much of a hassle."

Huipin's face looked a little unhappy, so she thought too much, she was just doing it by chance.

Huipin said coldly: "Since there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

"and many more."

"What else?"

"Since you and I have visited the Yikun Palace, the concubines below will naturally take action. I'm just worried that there will be some ignorant people who can't see the situation clearly and will come to our door. Aren't you afraid of trouble?"

Huipin naturally didn't want to see these people. They were useless. They were tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. As allies, they were useless teammates, but she couldn't really offend them.

She did not have the confidence of Rong Fei, and was not afraid to use the Empress Dowager to deal with people. Instead, she was commended by Kangxi and the Grand Empress Dowager.

Believe it or not, if it were me, even if it was also for the purpose of protecting the royal heir, no one would clearly protect me, so that those who hold a grudge would not dare to act rashly.

"Where is there any good place to go, Madam?"

"Since we've come to Yikun Palace, why not take a look at Chengqian Palace? In three months, Princess Tongjia will also enter the palace, and I'm afraid she won't be so easy to serve."

Chengqian Palace? What's Concubine Rong up to?

Ji Nai looked at Huipin's alert face and laughed angrily, "I have set up a tight net in Chengqian Palace, waiting for you to fall into it." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ji Nai could understand Nara's distrust of him, after all, she felt the same way, but the two of them were allies after all. If they still had this attitude in the face of a powerful enemy, why should they join forces?

Although Nara is indeed the most suitable candidate, for Ji Nai, she is not the only one.

As for Nara, if Ji Nai had not helped her, she and Yinzhen would have been doomed.
