Chapter 262 Restoring appearance
Chapter 262 Restoring appearance
Nanny Zheng was so angry about the loss of Hesheli that she didn't understand what Huipin meant for a moment. However, the Queen, who was not far away, heard what Nanny Zheng said and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Does His Majesty trust this bitch Nara so much? Even though she has an unclear relationship with Chenghu's death, he is still willing to give power to her.
The Queen naturally knew that no matter how bold Nara was, without the support of the Emperor, it would be impossible for her to carry out the investigation of the harem so smoothly.
At that time, when she learned that Nanny Zheng had used the spies planted by Hesheli in the palace just to kill Yinzhen before he left the palace, she knew that the situation was not good.
But how could a madman know all this? She could only tolerate this idiot's unauthorized actions and push all those people into the abyss.
Nara came here today just to vent her anger. Now that she was in a much better mood, she naturally would not stay any longer. She did not care whether Nanny Zheng understood what she meant or not. She turned around and left as soon as she finished speaking.
In June, more than two months had passed since Prince Chenghu passed away, so the haze that had shrouded the Forbidden City seemed to have dissipated.
On that day, many concubines who went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager lost their composure and rubbed their eyes in an indecent manner in public.
It was Ji Nai who started this storm.
Watching this farce, Yuan Xu teased, "Look, you're not popular at all. So many people are hoping that you'll be disfigured. In this palace, I guess Kangxi is the only one who really hopes that you'll get better."
【There are also Chengrui and Saiyinchahun. 】
Yuan Xu was speechless for a moment. Sometimes she really envied Ji Nai. The two sons he gave birth to in a row were not only not demon stars, but also well-behaved and lovable.
During this period, the first thing Chengrui did every morning when he woke up was to lie on Ji Nai's body, carefully observing the scar on Ji Nai's face, and then comfort Ji Nai seriously: "The scar today is lighter than yesterday, mother will definitely get better."
Before going to bed, she would watch Ji Nai apply the ointment with her own eyes before going back to sleep. She also specifically asked the imperial physician if there were any dietary restrictions, and watched Ji Nai's diet like a little adult.
As for Saiyinchahun, he was just an ignorant child, but it was precisely because of this that his actions were even more heartwarming.
That day, Ji Nai went to Shoukang Palace to visit Saiyinchahun. Because she was afraid that the scar on her face would scare her son, she kept wearing a veil. Although it was uncomfortable, she endured it.
Unexpectedly, when Saiyinchahun was first picked up by Ji Nai, he struggled a little because he felt unfamiliar with the person. However, after feeling the familiar breath, he kept staring at Ji Nai without blinking.
At that time, Ji Nai was a little hesitant. Could it be that she looked too strange wearing a veil, so Sai Yin Cha Hun was so resistant? Just when Ji Nai was about to put the child down, Sai Yin Cha Hun quickly pulled off Ji Nai's veil.
This scene was unexpected by everyone present. Ji Nai was the first to react, and turned his head away for fear of scaring Saiyin Chahun.
The second person to react was the Queen Mother. She was also afraid that Ji Nai's face would scare Saiyin Chahun, so she stood up immediately and wanted to carry Saiyin Chahun away.
However, what was even more unexpected was that the little person lying in Ji Nai's arms, looking at Ji Nai's face, not only was he not afraid, but he also showed a toothless smile.
This smile was just like the smile that the other person showed every time Ji Nai came to see his son and every time he hugged Sai Yin Cha Hun.
The Queen Mother stopped and said "Huh" in surprise, looking forward to Saiyin Chahun's next move. But she saw Saiyin Chahun put his hand on the scar on Ji Nai's face, as if to comfort Ji Nai.
At that time, Ji Nai's eyes were red, and the Empress Dowager was even more exaggerated, she was so moved that she burst into tears.
So Yuan Xu's teasing came to an abrupt end after Chengrui and Saiyinchahun's names appeared. Haha, can all the concubines in the palace be compared to these two little angels? And Kangxi, who Yuan Xu reluctantly mentioned, was simply a killer.
The moment Ji Nai stepped into the Cining Palace, she could clearly feel the noise inside quiet down for a moment. Although it quickly returned to normal, how could Ji Nai not notice it?
I feel funny in my heart. Why do these people act so cautious? Their appearance is indeed a plus point, but Kangxi is not a person who only looks at appearance.
As usual, Ji Nai paid his respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and then exchanged greetings with Huipin. Seeing the surprise and understanding in Huipin's eyes, he felt that the Huipin in front of him was more and more like the head of the four concubines in his previous life.
The first one to lose her temper was the Empress Dowager. She stared at Ji Nai's face carefully for a while and said, "Has the wound on Rongpin's face healed? There is no sign that she was ever injured."
"Not only has she recovered, the skin on Sister Rongpin's face seems to be smoother than before. Sister Rongpin has been wearing a veil for a while, and I and others thought... Today is really an unexpected surprise."
Ji Nai ignored Suochuoro's sarcasm and only reported to the Empress Dowager respectfully: "Your Majesty has sent me many good things for my injury. If they are still not good, it will be my fault."
Ji Nai was explaining to the Empress Dowager that I did not deliberately exaggerate the injuries and mislead everyone as I said to Socholo. It was because Kangxi took it seriously and sent me a lot of good medicine that I was not really disfigured.
The Empress Dowager had naturally heard about the commotion in the Qianqing Palace, but at the time she thought the Emperor was working in vain. She didn't expect that the patient was actually cured.
Although the Empress Dowager was not happy to see this outcome, as things had come to this point, she would not say much and nodded, agreeing with Ji Nai's explanation.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was actually planning to let Rongpin go, Suochuoruo could no longer sit still and could only point the finger at Rongpin herself, "It is also because of Rongpin's sister that she is favored. If it were me and others, I'm afraid we wouldn't have this blessing to get better."
"Your Majesty has always been a man who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. If you were disfigured in order to save the heir to the throne, how could His Majesty not care? Speaking of which, I have not yet thanked my sister for saving my life that day."
After saying this, Huipin stood up and bowed to Ji Nai.
This was a life-saving favor, and Ji Nai deserved it. However, now both of them were concubines, and both were ordered to assist in managing the harem. If they really accepted the other's courtesy and left the Cining Palace, rumors would probably spread that Concubine Rong was arrogant.
So Ji Nai turned aside and only accepted half of the greeting.
Looking at Ji Nai's reaction, Huipin lowered her eyes and hid her self-mockery. Rongpin was indeed as cautious as ever. Even at this time, she still knew her position clearly. Unlike her, she swelled up in false fantasies and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Suochao Luo didn't expect that Huipin would actually speak up to help Rongpin, and her face turned ugly.
It's really confusing. Is Nara a fool? Doesn't she know that Ma Jia is her biggest rival? She actually acknowledged the life-saving grace. Isn't she afraid that she will be inferior to her in the future?
She wanted to say something but was stopped by Irgen Jueluo beside her. Although she was very unconvinced, she still lost her temper when she saw the warning in the other's eyes.
Perhaps because she had heard the bad news that Ji Nai was not disfigured, the Empress Dowager seemed listless and quickly dismissed everyone. She only gave one final instruction: "The Emperor has not entered the harem for a long time."
In fact, she should have said this to her legitimate granddaughter-in-law, but the Queen... Therefore, the Grand Empress Dowager could only remind all the concubines, but since it was not legitimate, she did not say much.
However, just this one sentence was enough. Although Kangxi had not stayed in the harem for only three months, for the women in the harem, it was already a long time. The concubines were willing to compete for favor, and now that the Empress Dowager had spoken in person, they would naturally be very active.
Besides, Rongpin's appearance has been restored. Considering the emperor's previous love for her, why would he continue to be a vegetarian?
She was not really counting on them to remind these concubines now, but was just using this matter to send a signal to the emperor: I know that Your Majesty is sad about losing your son, but it has been such a long time, and it is time to go to the harem for a visit.
Here, the Empress Dowager thought she had been tolerant enough towards the Emperor, but she didn't know that someone was complaining about her because of this matter.
