Chapter 334: Reactions from the Palaces: Nanxi Successfully Filed a Complaint
"Nian'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Xia became furious:
"My lady and Concubine Guo Luoluo are sisters. My lady is not as favored as Concubine Guo Luoluo, and she has no prince. We all know that sisters can only have one high position in the palace. That's why my lady has maintained her position for many years. Don't stir up trouble again."
Nian'er was startled by Nanny Xia, and then she felt a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but mutter:
"What nonsense is this servant saying? Didn't Concubine Guo Luoluo say that the emperor wanted to compensate the harem this time? Then the likes of Concubine Yuan could be made concubines, so why doesn't our young lady have a chance?"
Then, under Nanny Xia's gloomy gaze, he spoke quickly:
"If the young master's little prince hadn't died young, maybe she could have really been made a concubine this time!"
After hearing this, Nanny Xia was stunned. She looked at the sad young lady, glared at Nian'er who was talking about something irrelevant, and then looked at Concubine Guo with concern and distress.
At this moment, the little person from that year appeared in Concubine Guo's mind. Although the baby was not strong when it was born, it was healthy. Unexpectedly, the baby died suddenly of a cold. Since then, she has never been pregnant again and has only one child, the Sixth Princess.
So many years have passed, and the Sixth Princess has grown up. Now that she has such a noble biological mother, she will be inferior to other princesses in finding a prince consort. She also has no biological brothers to support her. What should she do if she is bullied after getting married? It's all because of her uselessness!
Concubine Guo could no longer hold back and sobbed quietly with her head tilted to the side. Seeing this, Nian'er and Nanny Xia began to persuade her anxiously and panickily.
The master and his two servants did not notice a slender and petite figure flashing past the door.
At the same time, Rong Fei's palace was also discussing the issue of conferring titles on the six palaces. She knew that she would most likely not be on the list, so she didn't care much and let the concubines in Zhongcui Palace talk about it.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly fell on Yi Da Ying who was at the end.
She was one of the six people selected to enter the palace this year. Seeing that she was just sitting quietly and not joining in the discussion with other concubines, Rong Fei raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked:
"The Grand Conferment of the Six Palaces is a grand event, why is Yi Da Ying not saying anything?"
Yi Ying was born bright and beautiful, but her temperament was calm and indifferent. After hearing Rong Fei's words, she lowered her eyes and replied calmly:
"To answer your Majesty's question, I am a concubine of humble status. No matter what the result of the Grand Conferment of the Six Palaces is, it is all the grace of the Emperor."
She was telling the truth, so it seemed particularly sincere. Rong Fei's eyes moved, and she thought of this man's troubled family affairs. She shook her head secretly and believed what she said.
"Yes, Yi Da Ying is right. Whether you can be conferred a title or not, it is all the grace of the Emperor. All right, get down now!"
The concubines left, and Yi promised to leave last. The maid beside her couldn't help but whispered:
"My lady, are you really not going to fight for this opportunity to confer the title of Grand Master on the Six Palaces?"
Yi agreed with a calm expression and serene features:
"I said that everything is the grace of the Emperor. Whether you fight for it or not, the result is there. Moreover, compared to the peaceful life at home before, I am already very satisfied with the peaceful life now."
When the palace maid heard what the young lady said, she thought of her stepmother and the second young lady, as well as the stepfather that comes with a stepmother. She pursed her lips, looked at the young lady with heartache, and said nothing more.
The six palaces in the east and west were all discussing the matter of enfeoffment of the six palaces today, except for Concubine Xi of Jingyang Palace, who was holding her forehead with her hand and looking expressionlessly at the broken glass ball sent from Chuxiu Palace.
"My Lady, how could the master of the family put musk in the glass ball you gave me? What should we do now? If Concubine Xian finds out, what will happen if it affects your canonization this time?"
Pearl was in a panic.
Concubine Xi's eyes were no longer charming. She ignored Zhenzhu and the scenes of her private interactions with Concubine Xian emerged in her mind. She thought she could be someone who had a say, but she didn't expect that they would go their separate ways so soon.
Well, the two of them gradually became closer because of the prince. Since Concubine Xian said that she would not give birth to an imperial heir for the time being, she would believe it.
Seeing that she had been talking for a long time, but the queen still didn't say anything and didn't seem nervous, Zhenzhu couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty, please say something. The family said that they will help you ascend to the position of Concubine Xi this time. Will Concubine Xian..."
"No." Xipin interrupted Zhenzhu's words decisively, and resumed her usual lazy and charming self, saying in a charming and moving manner:
"Since Imperial Concubine Xian has sent someone to deliver the things, I have no intention of pursuing the matter. This palace's canonization will not be lost."
Pearl was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, but the next moment she heard her own queen say:
"But there will still be a little revenge."
"Empress?" Pearl looked over in astonishment.
Concubine Xi stopped talking, called for a group of singing girls to come over, and started to enjoy herself lazily as usual.
At this moment, Shi Nanxi was complaining to Kangxi in the Qianqing Palace.
"I have said that I want to spend all my time with Your Majesty and I don't want to have children for the time being, but someone wants to do something unnecessary. Your Majesty, please give me some advice!"
Shi Nanxi lay in Kangxi's arms and complained with grievance.
Kangxi had just come off court, wearing a bright yellow court robe, and didn't know about the glass ball yet. But it was the first time the little girl had complained to him. He held her tightly in his arms, straightened her hairpin that had been crooked by her movements, and said without thinking:
"What's going on? Who bullied you? I will take care of it for you."
Shi Nanxi stopped talking and asked:
"Your Majesty, will you be promoted to Concubine Xi during this grand ceremony of conferring titles on the six palaces?"
Kangxi didn't expect the little girl to ask about this. According to her personality, she wouldn't ask if he didn't say it. Then he remembered that the little girl just mentioned that she didn't want to have children for the time being, and he immediately had a guess in his mind and said in a deep voice:
"I was originally planning to promote you to Concubine Xi."
The word "originally" clearly reveals Kangxi's attitude. Before, Xipin might have been promoted, but now it is not certain.
After hearing this, Shi Nanxi raised her head from Kangxi's arms and looked into Kangxi's eyes with her wet almond-shaped eyes, in which Kangxi's figure was fully reflected.
"Oh, if Concubine Xi is promoted, she will be a concubine, which is good. However, I have seen that Concubine Xi and Concubine An have lived in Jingyang Palace for many years, and the two sides are very harmonious and friendly. I will not bother Concubine Xi to move to another palace in the middle of winter, don't you think?"
Kangxi looked at the little girl in front of him, whose pupils were full of himself, with soft eyes, and said in a gentle voice:
"Our Concubine Xian is the number one in the harem, so we'll do whatever you say."
Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi's eyes suddenly curved and she threw herself into Kangxi's arms again.
It was almost the end of the year and Kangxi was busy with government affairs. The two had another intimate conversation and then Shi Nanxi took her leave.
As soon as Shi Nanxi left, Kangxi immediately sent people to investigate what happened in Chuxiu Palace today. Soon Liang Jiugong presented the results of the investigation to the emperor.
Seeing what happened when Imperial Concubine Nianhulu and Noble Lady Yuan came to pay their respects, Kangxi's eyes darkened. When he saw that there was musk hidden in the glass ball, his eyes became completely gloomy.
Liang Jiugong felt the pressure emanating from the emperor and quickly lowered his head. He had also read the investigation and could only say that Hesheli's hands were reaching too far.
Kangxi looked at the investigation results in front of him with an expressionless face.
Nanxi is simple but not ignorant. On the contrary, she is very insightful. She deliberately said that she was temporarily infertile. In addition to wanting to spend more time with him, she was actually worried about the impact of giving birth to a child.
But even though we are retreating, some people are still pressing forward.
A hint of coldness flashed across Kangxi's phoenix eyes. In that case, he would do as Nanxi said. However, there was still a trace left in his heart, waiting to sprout.
