Chapter 475: The Queen is Deposed for No Reason
Chapter 475: The Queen is Deposed for No Reason
"I will keep an eye on the people below and ask them to take good care of the young masters." Since I want to concentrate on taking care of the young masters, I should put other thoughts aside.
"I believe in Madam's ability."
……
Because Rong Fei of Zhongcui Palace was unwell, the first time in Kangxi's reign that a concubine was favored by a single person for nearly six months finally came to an end.
However, not many people in the palace were happy about this. Even after the Emperor no longer favored Concubine Rong, they could at least have a sip of the soup.
Everyone knows that Concubine Rong of Zhongcui Palace is a blessed person. When others feel uncomfortable, they are probably really uncomfortable, but when Concubine Rong feels uncomfortable, it is very likely that she is pregnant.
The concubines did not show much emotion about the possibility that Concubine Rong might be pregnant again, which even they themselves found hard to believe.
It’s not that no one has malicious intentions, but the grass on the graves of those who have the courage to take action and the manpower to put it into action has grown several feet high.
The rest of the people only dared to think about it, or secretly curse Rong Fei for a difficult childbirth, and even dared to do such malicious acts secretly from everyone.
On the surface, the fact that Concubine Rong is pregnant is discussed privately at most. I guess it’s possible that Concubine Rong is carrying another prince in her belly this time?
Seeing the concubines' reaction, Niuhulu was stunned at first, then she smiled and said, "These people in the palace are more obedient than I thought."
In other words, those troublemakers are no longer around, and without a leader, even if the remaining people have ill intentions, they dare not act rashly.
Seeing that her master didn't seem to care about Concubine Rong, Nanny Zhou reminded her, "Master, we must be careful of Concubine Rong."
When they were outside the palace, they only knew that there were two masters in the palace who needed special attention. One was the former favorite concubine who had fallen out of favor - Huipin, who dared to challenge the queen when she was in favor.
Although Huipin has fallen out of favor now, she still has a prince. Who knows, one day the Emperor might remember her kindness again.
There is also Concubine Rong, who is favored, has a son, and is a high-ranking concubine. Regardless of whether her master eventually defeats the princess of the Tong family, Concubine Rong is the enemy of their Yikun Palace.
"Madam, do you think our enemy is Concubine Rong?" Nianhulu asked casually.
Isn't it? But the master's reaction clearly showed that he did not regard Rong Fei as an opponent.
Nanny Zhou knew that her master had been intelligent and calm since childhood, and she did not think that the other party was wrong, so she humbly asked for advice to avoid her self-righteousness ruining her master's plan.
Niuhulu did not answer directly, but asked:
"Why do you think Rong Fei is my enemy? After all, in the eyes of many people, for a woman of bannerman origin, climbing to the position of concubine is the limit, isn't it?"
Nanny Zhou thought about it again and again, then answered carefully:
"Although Rong Fei was born into a lowly family and had difficulty rising to a higher position, she is now a concubine, and she did not skip a rank for promotion. Every step she took was steady and reliable...
His Majesty is still young and has a long time to live. Even if the possibility is very small, it may not be impossible.
For the royal family, rules are the most important and the least important. No matter how unruly things are, they have happened before, so having a banner queen is nothing.
Besides, she already has four princes, making her the eldest son, and her second son is being raised in Shoukang Palace. Even if... Ma Jia cannot be a help in the future, she still has the support of Khorchin.
The most important thing is Rong Fei herself, with her appearance...
When I was outside the palace, I only heard that Rong Fei was a beauty, but what made her even more famous was her good fortune in giving birth.
With such a face, not only did she not have the reputation of being a vixen or a witch inside and outside the palace, but even the Empress Dowager was kind to her, which shows her ability.
The most important thing is His Majesty's attitude towards her..."
Nanny Zhou was extremely worried. Everything else was fine, but in terms of means, her own princess might not lose to Concubine Rong.
Even if the other party could change the attitude of the Empress Dowager, who always hated the emperor's exclusive favor, Nanny Zhou still believed in her own princess.
But what about the Holy Heart? In this palace, family background and status are not the most important things. What matters most is the feelings of the one sitting on the throne.
An unfavored queen is probably not even as good as a favored concubine. If she meets an unruly emperor, let alone the distant past, the fate of the two queens and Concubine Dong E in the previous dynasty is enough to illustrate her situation.
It would be hard for any man not to be moved by Rong Fei's appearance. Even if their emperor is not a lustful person, the two of them still have a friendship from their childhood.
Rong Fei was one of the first people to enter the palace. She accompanied the Emperor through the death of Empress Dowager Cihe, the arrogance and defeat of Oboi, gave birth to five children together, and went through many ups and downs together.
I’m afraid that even the late queen cannot compare to this kind of friendship, let alone my own princess?
What's even worse is that my princess has to deal with such a father. It's not that the master is bad. No matter what the other party chose at that time, it was essentially to protect the Niuhulu family, but...
But to the Emperor, the fathers of these princesses were probably not much better than Oboi.
In this way, the status of his own princess and Rong Fei in the emperor's heart was immediately determined.
Therefore, how could Madam Zhou not be worried and regard Concubine Rong as a great enemy?
Niuhulu couldn't say that Nanny Zhou was worrying too much. Perhaps it was because she was a bystander and could see more clearly, so even though she had only been in the palace for a few days, she could see clearly how important Concubine Rong was in the Emperor's heart.
In fact, the real situation was even more than she had guessed.
Nianhulu also agreed with what Madam Zhou said, but in her opinion, the bannerman origin was always a flaw, so at least in the short term, Rong Fei would not be able to get that position.
And this short period of time may be five years, or ten years, or even longer.
During this period, who can tell whether the friendship between His Majesty and Concubine Rong deepened or they drifted apart?
Moreover, in Nianhulu's view, the Emperor was not an emotional person.
As long as she is a competent queen, even if at that time, the Emperor has not changed his mind and has enough ability to go against public opinion and push a bondservant woman to that position, he will not depose the queen without reason.
Even if His Majesty doesn't care about me, doesn't he care about the reputation of his beloved?
What was the result when the late emperor insisted on deposing the empress and making Dong E the empress? Even though Concubine Dong E had passed away for so many years, the Dong E family was still implicated by her and had to keep their tails between their legs.
Perhaps, Rong Fei could really be made queen by another means, just like His Majesty's biological mother, Empress Dowager Cihe.
