Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 280: Something to discuss

However, Huipin regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. If she hadn't been outside, she would have really wanted to slap her mouth for causing trouble. It was already known that Ma Jia was the queen's true love. Even if she didn't flatter her, she shouldn't offend her.

"I do like quietness." Ji Nai admitted it as soon as he opened his mouth.

Huipin felt that things were not quite what she thought. What Ma Jia said, whether true or false, could only be true. Once this word got out, in the future, anyone who made friends with concubines in Zhongcui Palace would be attacked.

So, is Ma Jia really a noble fairy with no worldly desires? However, just looking at her face, she does look like one.

"Sister Ma Jia called me here, is there something wrong?" Huipin leaned lazily in her chair and asked perfunctorily.

Nanny Li, Yusheng Yuqing and others couldn't help but frown. This Concubine Hui was indeed arrogant. The master called her to discuss something, but she acted like this. She had no rules and no respect for others at all.

"Have you heard about the recent rumors in the palace?"

Hearing Ma Jia's words, Huipin instantly stood up and sneered, "Of course I haven't heard of it. I guess it's only in the Qianqing Palace, Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace that these people dare not cause trouble."

"Does Huipin think it was man-made?"

"Isn't it? Even if I am at odds with Kunning Palace, our queen hasn't passed away yet. Spreading such rumors is simply a crime worthy of death!"

Although she said so, there was no respect for the Queen in Huipin's tone. She was just using the Queen's name to take the opportunity to attack Irgen Jueluo.

"No matter what the purpose of the message is, now you and I are helping to manage the harem, and we are both concubines. If anything goes wrong, we will inevitably be charged with dereliction of duty."

"That's true. Sister Ma Jia and I are not as lucky as the Queen, who was let off lightly for incompetence and dereliction of duty many times."

Ji Nai simply ignored the sarcastic tone in Huipin's words. Her words contained too much reference to the Queen. If he didn't ignore it, who knows where the topic would lead to. The main business had not been finished yet.

"So it's better to suppress this rumor as soon as possible."

"Press it down, don't you want to check it out?"

Ji Nai glanced at Huipin and said, "Investigate? How can we investigate? Who knows how many hands were involved in this, and how many people fanned the flames. If we must investigate, it will definitely make the matter bigger. Aren't you afraid of fulfilling the wishes of the person behind the scenes?"

"But!" Huipin was still a little unwilling. How could a person like Irgen Jueluo be related to Kunning Palace? She had not yet settled accounts with Dong for the tampering she and Dong had done at Yinzhen's full moon banquet.

Ji Nai naturally understood Huipin's thoughts. As she was also preparing to deal with Irgen Jueluo, she continued, "In the past, we didn't care, but from today on, if there are servants in the harem who spread rumors again, they will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and there will be no mercy.

As for Irgenjueluo, it is really disrespectful to spread such rumors while the queen is still alive. Regardless of whether the rumors are related to her or not, it is because she is not upright. How about confining her for half a month as a warning to others?"

Huipin's eyes lit up instantly. "That's true. Even if Yiergen Jueluo really just suffered an unprovoked disaster, it's wrong for her to sit back and do nothing after such a long time."

Seeing that Ma Jia had no intention of speaking again, Huipin asked tentatively, "Sister Ma Jia called me here today just for this matter?"

Ji Nai took a sip of tea slowly, and then said, "Of course not, it's just that what happened just now was official business, and what's coming next is a private matter."

Hearing what Ma Jia said, Huipin immediately sounded the alarm and began to be on guard. Unexpectedly, what the other party said next had nothing to do with the queen.

"I heard that you have been cleaning up your harem for the past few months?"

"Yes, we have to do our best to follow the order of His Majesty, right?" Huipin directly pointed out that this was Kangxi's intention, and if Ji Nai had any objections, he should go directly to Kangxi.

Ji Nai certainly had no objection. Although she was also from a bannerman family, it did not mean that she would stand on the side of the bannerman family, especially since they did not support her.

"Before I entered the palace, my family hired a nanny. She only taught me etiquette. Every move had to be rigid and rigid, otherwise it would be considered frivolous. As for other rules, she didn't teach me at all. Later, my family found something wrong and changed my nanny.

I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the elders in the family found out that the previous nanny was bribed."

Huipin didn't understand why Ma Jia said this? The nanny knew there was something wrong. This was already a self-exposure. If it was someone else, they would have been too late to hide it.

"Does Huipin know who bribed her?" Ji Nai stared into Nara's eyes. After meeting her doubts and vigilance, he smiled meaningfully and said, "It was several banner families."

Coating!

Upon hearing these two words, Huipin's heart skipped a beat. During this period of time when she was cleaning up that force in the harem, she had already noticed something was wrong. Those people were all from bondservant families.

Because of this, her family members tried every means to pass the message to the palace, asking her not to hurt her own people. Huipin thought it was ridiculous at the time, because their Nara clan did not have such great ability to deploy so many people in the palace.

Although Huipin got along well with her family, she had no sense of belonging to the Nara clan. Not to mention that these people were not from the Nara clan, even if they were, she would not give up.

At that time, Huipin was only thinking about revenge for Chengqing, so she didn't care about these things. She even wanted to follow the clues and find out who was behind it, but she never succeeded.

"Bai Yi? Raising a nanny is related to one's future, and every household attaches great importance to it. Yet, she was actually schemed against. Do mere Bao Yi families have the ability to do this?"

It's not that Huipin looked down on her own family, but that was the fact. The Baoyi family sounded like an aristocratic family, but it had nothing to do with the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty or before. They were just slaves born in the royal family, and they were slaves of the Aisin-Gioro family for generations.

Do slaves really have such great abilities?

Of course there was. Huipin actually knew it without anyone explaining it to her.

Therefore, Nara's heart was beating very fast. It was very likely that there was no master behind the bannerman force, because they themselves were the leaders of this force.

Huipin looked at Ji Nai warily, "What do you want to say?"

"The Majia clan has not been prominent in recent generations, nor does it have any foundation in the palace. After I entered the palace, I never took advantage of the bondservant. So, Nara clan, aren't they supporting you?"

Huipin did not expect Ji Nai to say that, and immediately jumped up and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ji Nai, however, refused to give in and began to speak harshly, "Isn't it? Then why did you dare to confront the Queen head-on when you were still a concubine?"

Huipin was speechless. Could she say that she was so foolish and bold because she came from later generations and therefore had no natural reverence for imperial power?

Nanny Wu beside Huipin spoke up to help her master: "If it is true as you said, that force supports my master, then she will not be able to confront the queen directly."

"That's right, wouldn't it be better to hide and develop quietly?" Huipin blurted out, and then found that she had said the wrong thing. She didn't want to reveal her identity as a time traveler, and then be caught and burned to death as a demon.

In order to divert attention, Huipin turned her spearhead directly to Ji Nai, "I thought they supported you. After all, between the two of us, who is better is obvious to anyone!"

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and no one spoke again.

After a long time, Huipin seemed to be deflated and said weakly: "Okay, it's impossible for you." Although Ma Jia did have two sons, neither of them could possibly enter the Eastern Palace. If it was really her, Ma Jia would not be that stupid.

Besides, it was obvious that Ma Jia knew something, and she wanted to get some information from her, so she couldn't offend her.

"The poisoning of Chengrui and Chengqing was caused by them. It can be seen that you and I are both victims and we both want revenge. How about, from today on, you and I will keep each other informed and work together to find the perpetrators?"
