Chapter 329 Moral Kidnapping She guessed wrong
Everyone looked at Concubine Yuan.
This noble lady Yuan was considered to be quite favored before Noble Concubine Xian entered the palace, otherwise she would not have given birth to the Fourteenth Princess. Correspondingly, her appearance was naturally excellent, and she was beautiful and graceful.
But after Noble Concubine Xian entered the palace, the Emperor ignored the six palaces in the east and west and only favored Noble Concubine Xian. Naturally, Noble Lady Yuan also fell out of favor. Fortunately, she was a very contented person and did not cause any trouble because of this.
But no one expected that the low-key and honest Concubine Yuan would suddenly show up today. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was related to Concubine Niuhulu. What did she want to do? Or what did Concubine Niuhulu behind her want to do?
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Concubine Niuhulu, but she still looked compassionate and reluctant.
Shi Nanxi looked at Concubine Yuan, who was crying with tears in her eyes, with great interest. Was this the ancient version of moral kidnapping?
After she said this, would it be unkind and unmerciful if she didn't save the Fourteenth Princess? She could even be so cruel as to ignore the two-year-old Fourteenth Princess.
But if she really listened to Concubine Yuan's words and went to save the Fourteenth Princess, it was clear from Concubine Yuan's expression that she was not just trying to save people. She was afraid that after saving the Fourteenth Princess, she would also be responsible for the future upbringing of the Princess.
As the mother who raised the Fourteenth Princess, if Concubine Yuan frequently came to Chuxiu Palace under the pretext of visiting the Fourteenth Princess, would she receive her?
Or, thinking more deeply, would Concubine Yuan take advantage of the situation to climb up and propose to move to Chuxiu Palace? I'm afraid this is Concubine Nianhulu's purpose today.
By then, Concubine Yuan would move to Chuxiu Palace, and she would raise the Fourteenth Princess. As Kangxi would stay in Chuxiu Palace almost the entire month, he would definitely have contact with the Fourteenth Princess. After all, she was his biological daughter, so he would definitely love her a little. He would also look at Concubine Yuan of Chuxiu Palace differently.
Concubine Yuan was young and beautiful, and she was a favorite concubine in the past. It was possible that he favored her out of recollection of their past affection.
If Concubine Yuan was favored by Kangxi, she, as the mistress of the palace, would have to endure the anger for the sake of Princess Fourteen if she hugged her princess. Moreover, even if Concubine Yuan was not favored by Kangxi, it would be disgusting to see her in front of him.
As expected, Concubine Niuhulu came prepared today! But how could this person be sure that she would definitely take over the matter of the Fourteenth Princess?
Moreover, the Fourteenth Princess is the daughter of Kangxi. By asking Concubine Yuan to do this today, she was simply slapping Kangxi in the face.
His own daughter, a princess, was actually neglected by servants in the palace, and her biological mother had to ask for help in such a high-profile manner. He was humiliated. Perhaps he could achieve his goal by then, but Concubine Yuan, as a chess piece, would probably arouse Kangxi's anger and be completely ruined.
However, Shi Nanxi glanced at the acting Concubine Nianhulu, and remembered that she had previously tested that Concubine Nianhulu fell in love with Emperor Kangxi. She was afraid that Concubine Yuan was completely ruined, and she was secretly happy!
Slowly retracting her gaze, Shi Nanxi's sight returned to the crying Concubine Yuan. She didn't know whether she was really stupid and was being used by Concubine Nianhulu, or whether she had other intentions.
But no matter what their purpose is, Shi Nanxi comes from the modern era. She has seen many monsters and ghosts and is immune to all poisons. How could she be kidnapped by mere moral means?
The above thoughts happened in a flash. Shi Nanxi seemed confused by what Yuan Guiren said. After the turn, she cooperated with the performance, pretending to be puzzled and anxious, and said quickly:
"What do you mean by that, Concubine Yuan? The Fourteenth Princess is a dignified princess. If a servant dares to neglect her, we should report it to the Emperor and punish him. Hongying, help Concubine Yuan up quickly."
However, Concubine Yuan avoided Hongying's hand and begged while crying:
"Your Highness, the Emperor is the Son of Heaven and is very busy with government affairs. I dare not disturb him, so I came to you for help. You are the most senior person in the harem and you are in charge of the six palaces. I am really worried about the Fourteenth Princess, so I dare to ask you for mercy."
Concubine Yuan was young and beautiful. At the moment, she was in tears and begging desperately, which made her look even more pitiful and aroused great sympathy.
Shi Nanxi finally understood why Concubine Nianhulu chose Concubine Yuan as her chess piece. Concubine Yuan was young and beautiful, and she was the type of weak and gentle Han woman that Kangxi liked. It was more likely that Kangxi would be attracted to her.
Moreover, once this reason came out, she had to take care of it no matter what, because being promoted to a noble concubine is an honor, but it also comes with corresponding responsibilities. As the person with the highest position in the harem and the one who holds the power in the palace, the Fourteenth Princess must be dealt with if she is neglected by a servant.
Once she has dealt with the servants, Concubine Yuan will definitely think that dealing with the current servants is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. As long as the young Fourteenth Princess is raised in the prince's residence, there will definitely be such servants, so she proposed to bring the Fourteenth Princess to Chuxiu Palace.
What happened next was just as Shi Nanxi had guessed. She suggested sending servants to the prince to punish the neglectful servants. However, Concubine Yuan begged Shi Nanxi to be kind again and take pity on the weak Fourteenth Princess and bring her to Chuxiu Palace to raise her.
"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Xian is indeed kind and benevolent. Princess Fourteen will surely be grateful to you for saving her and will remember it in her heart. However, she is still young and I don't know how many more disasters she will have to go through after surviving this one. You are so kind and benevolent. If Princess Fourteen can receive your guidance and care, it will be her great fortune. I will have no regrets even if I die now!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized the purpose of Concubine Yuan's fuss, even though they hadn't figured it out yet.
It seems that she wants Concubine Xian to raise the Fourteenth Princess. But why did Concubine Yuan ask Concubine Xian to raise her? Her request was also to Concubine Nianhulu, the head of the Yongshou Palace where she works. Why go so far away?
Some people didn't understand, but Concubine Hui, Concubine Guo Luoluo, Concubine Wu and others saw the deeper meaning behind Concubine Yuan or Concubine Niuhulu's actions.
Their expressions remained unchanged, but their minds were in a state of confusion. They looked at Concubine Nianhulu meaningfully.
Concubine Niuhulu looked at Shi Nanxi who was still silent, as if she was embarrassed. She felt proud in her heart, but she still pretended to be proud on the surface and said:
"Alas, it's all because of my uselessness. The Fourteenth Princess is a lovely one, but Imperial Concubine Xian is indeed kind-hearted and has always been favored by the Emperor. If Imperial Concubine Xian were to ask to raise the Fourteenth Princess, the Emperor would definitely agree."
Concubine Niuhulu finally revealed the purpose of her visit today and looked at Shi Nanxi and said:
"I heard that Imperial Concubine Xian wants to spend more time with the Emperor and doesn't want a child for the time being, but the Emperor is so busy that you don't have a child. Princess Fourteen is young but cute and sensible. When the Emperor is busy, you can call Princess Fourteen to be with you. It's a good thing. What do you think, Imperial Concubine Xian?"
After Concubine Nianhulu finished speaking, Noble Lady Yuan began to kowtow and begged Shi Nanxi to raise the Fourteenth Princess.
Shi Nanxi looked at this scene and thought it was really a good calculation, as if she was a cold-blooded and cruel person if she did not agree to raise the Fourteenth Princess?
That was why Concubine Nianhulu was certain that she would have to accept the Fourteenth Princess for the sake of her reputation.
Unfortunately, Concubine Nianhulu was wrong. She did not answer her but suddenly smiled.
This smile made Concubine Niuhulu stunned. After she came to her senses, she suppressed the anger rising in her heart and deliberately said:
"What does it mean that Concubine Xian is just smiling without saying anything? Does she agree to raise the Fourteenth Princess?"
