Chapter 260 Failed Full Moon Banquet
Chapter 260 Failed Full Moon Banquet
Seeing Concubine Irgen Jueluo's changed expression, Socho Luo felt somewhat pleased. She said that Rongpin was a traitor, otherwise why didn't she interfere with the full moon banquet? She hadn't asked about the matter during this period of time, so she must have known something a long time ago.
Humph! As a result, she kindly reminded Yiergen Jueluo concubine, but she talked a lot of nonsense to her and showed her attitude of drawing a clear line between them. Look, she was right, she deserved to be cheated.
Yuan Xu watched this drama and felt that everyone's performance was wonderful. She approached Ji Nai and asked curiously, "You won again, Kangxi really came over, but how did you guess it?"
[What's so strange about this? No matter what Nara did, the child is innocent. And Kangxi had just lost a son. How could he not care about another child at this time, especially when the other child was about to leave?
If Kangxi had not come today, believe it or not, even if the masters of the family where Yinzhen was fostered did not dare to neglect him because of his status as a prince, there would always be some fools who would self-righteously think that Yinzhen was not favored and it was okay to torture this child. 】
"This...isn't the imperial power supreme here?"
[There are twisted and perverted people everywhere. Normal people naturally don’t think that they are nobler than their superiors just because they can bully them.]
"So, Kangxi still cares about this child, why did he ignore him before. Otherwise, everyone would not think that Huipin and her son have fallen out of favor. Look at this full moon banquet." Yuan Xu muttered.
Even though Yuan Xu was an outsider, he knew that in the Qing Palace, the status of a prince was much higher than that of a princess, except when the status of the biological mother was too different.
But now, the full moon banquet for a prince of Huipin of the Nara clan is not even as good as the specifications of the first and second princesses. This is not only a slap in the face of Huipin, but also a disregard for the real son of the emperor, which indirectly hurts Kangxi's face.
[Please forgive the helplessness of an old father! Chenghu had just died, and Kangxi had not yet gotten over it. How could he be close to a child whose biological mother had killed his other son?
In fact, it was surprising that Huipin was still alive after giving birth. Besides, Yinzhen was going to be sent out of the palace. If they really had feelings for each other, how could they bear to send him away? 】
Kangxi ignored everyone's expressions, first personally helped Ji Nai up, then helped Huipin up, teased the baby in Nara's arms for a while, and then said to Huipin with satisfaction: "You have taken good care of Yinzhen."
"Yinzhi? What a nice name. I would like to thank His Majesty for giving this name on behalf of Yinzhi." Huipin's tears instantly came out.
Yinzhen, it was indeed Yinzhen, the former eldest prince. This time, Huipin was finally able to let go of her worries. If this child was Yinzhen, he would not stay outside the palace and not come back.
At this moment, Huibin Nara's mentality was highly consistent with Ji Nai's. In some aspects, they hoped that nothing would change and that things would happen according to the original trajectory. For example, Yinzhen would return to the palace in a few years and would not be completely forgotten outside the palace by Kangxi.
However, they also hope that unsatisfactory things can be changed after their own efforts, but they hope that this will not cause a butterfly effect and affect the original process.
It can be said that it is both contradictory and logical.
When Concubine Irgen Juelu and Concubine Dong saw that His Majesty not only came but also gave such honor to Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui, but completely ignored them, they secretly thought that something was wrong and that His Majesty might be dissatisfied with them.
After hearing that His Majesty had given a name to Nara's child at the full moon banquet, the forced smile on her face could hardly be maintained.
Sure enough, after Kangxi deliberately showed his affection for Yinzhen, who was about to leave the palace, and noticed with satisfaction the change in people's attitudes, he turned his attention to Irgen Gioro and Dong.
"It has been a while since Chenghu passed away. I thought the palace also needed a happy event to liven things up, but I didn't expect Yinzhen's full moon banquet to give me such a big surprise."
Concubine Yiergenjueluo and Concubine Dong knelt down and apologized, "It is because of our lack of experience that we failed to host the full moon banquet for Prince Yinzhen, disappointing His Majesty."
"Lack of experience is not an excuse for incompetence. Rongpin and Huipin also assisted the queen in managing the harem, but there has never been such a mistake."
The faces of Yiergenjueluo Shufei and Dong Shufei twisted for a moment. Could they be the same as Rongpin and Huipin? You have to know that when they were in charge, there was no queen to help them.
Although they thought so, Irgen Jueluo and Concubine Dong also understood that the Queen was not someone to be trifled with. It would be good enough if they didn't try to trip her up in secret, let alone help her.
It’s just that the two of them were unwilling to admit that they were not as good as Rongpin and Huipin. Even though there was no one holding them back, they still messed up the first time.
Even if they were unwilling, could Yiergenjueluo and Dong Shufei say that His Majesty was wrong? No, they had to grit their teeth and admit their guilt of incompetence, "I know I was wrong."
"Since you know you are wrong, you should learn from Rongpin and Huipin in the future."
Huipin watched coldly as Kangxi scolded Concubine Irgen Gioro and Concubine Dong, feeling very pleased. Since they dared to ruin her son's full moon banquet, they deserved such an end.
Ji Nai secretly complained that Kangxi was trying to promote himself and Huipin. Ji Nai was delighted by Kangxi's painstaking efforts, but he was helpless because this deviated from his own plan, so he had to interrupt and say:
"My concubine and I are novices in public affairs, so we can't be all-rounders. But don't worry, Your Majesty. If you have any questions, we will go to Shoukang Palace to ask for advice. I'll just trouble the Empress Dowager."
Kangxi glared at Ji Nai, but what he got in return was Ji Nai's sneer and pleading look.
Kangxi was almost laughing out of anger. What a heartless guy! He had taken great pains to build momentum and pave the way for Ji Nai, but in the end the other party directly undermined his own plans.
Huipin looked at this scene and felt that she had been very ridiculous in the past.
This is what it means to be truly cared for by Kangxi. Even if she doesn't fight for it, or even doesn't want it, Kangxi will spontaneously present everything to her. So how did she have the confidence to think that she was the girl of destiny before?
However, Huipin had completely given up on Kangxi, so she naturally would not continue to dwell on it. She quickly got out of her depressed mood and looked at things rationally.
She didn't understand. It was impossible for Rongpin to not know Kangxi's intentions, and it was impossible for her not to know Kangxi's intentions, but why did she still push the power of the palace out until now? Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was actually a figurehead.
She didn't believe that Concubine Rong was really the kind of person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and was detached from the world, and even disdained the benefits that came her way.
Could it be that Rongpin deliberately mentioned the Empress Dowager in order to avoid responsibility, so as to find a good excuse to clear herself of any involvement in the future? However, no matter what Rongpin wanted to do, it was a good thing.
In Kangxi's decree, four people were appointed to assist in managing palace affairs. Only himself and Concubine Rong were the masters of the same palace. Irgen Gioro and Dong were just concubines without rank and were completely unable to compete with him.
Originally, Rongpin became a concubine earlier than herself, and had two princes under her wing, so she should have been the leader among the four. But now, Rongpin took a step back, so it was time for herself to take over.
Unlike Huipin who got actual benefits, Concubine Irgen Juelu and Concubine Dong looked even uglier, thinking that Rongpin said this on purpose.
Rongpin mentioned the Empress Dowager at this time just to remind His Majesty that the two of them were not only incompetent, but also made decisions on their own. They really didn't know how to hold this full moon banquet. Why didn't they ask the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager for advice.
I swear to God, Ji Nai really didn't mean it that way. He just accidentally tricked Yirgen Jueluo and Dong. But even if he realized it later, he didn't feel sorry.
Who told those two people to think they had power and take revenge on their own, wanting to embarrass Nara's mother and son? Since they had bad intentions, they should be prepared to bear the consequences.
But no matter what, this full moon banquet was a failure. No one was really happy, not even the protagonist, the mother, Nara. The atmosphere was so awkward that it made people's scalps numb. But the emperor didn't say it was over, and he didn't dare to leave.
