Chapter 319: Will Rong end up being assimilated miserably?
Sorry sorry! The first two chapters have been modified!
Shi Rongyue has been pregnant for five months and her belly is starting to show. Because of the fall in the palace last time, she had to lie down for half a month and was only recently able to get out of bed.
Today is her birthday, and the mansion's kitchen has prepared a feast, but unfortunately the Fourth Prince and his wife have gone to the palace to attend Shi Nanxi's birthday banquet.
No princesses or concubines from the mansion were invited to the banquet. As Shi Rongyue had just recovered from her illness, those people were ordered not to disturb her.
But when Shi Rongyue saw the feast prepared for her at the mansion, her face instantly fell.
"What a kitchen steward! How dare you fool my wife and serve me such a dish? The food in my own small kitchen is usually better than this!"
In fact, the kitchen manager did not fool Shi Rongyue.
The rules in the mansion are strict. The food, clothing and expenses of the concubine are all regulated and cannot exceed those of the main wife. Therefore, the quantity and quality of the dishes on the table are fixed.
In addition, some of the dishes were cooked too early and had already cooled and solidified, which did not look good on the face, which made him feel a little cold.
Nanny Gu was helpless. Ever since the concubine became pregnant, her temper had become worse, but in order not to hurt the little prince in her belly, she hurried to comfort her.
"Please calm down, Concubine. The kitchen manager would never dare to fool you or neglect you. Concubine's rules are there, and the kitchen manager would not dare to go beyond them. As for the small kitchen, that's because Concubine subsidizes it on a daily basis."
Speaking of this, Nanny Gu felt a little emotional and excited. Before, the concubine wanted to do business to subsidize her expenses. In order to please the concubine, she let the concubine have a try. She didn't think that if she could make money, it would be fine as long as she didn't lose money.
But she didn't expect that the concubine seemed to be born to do business. She made money in everything she did, and the things she sold were very strange. She had never seen them before, and she didn't know how the concubine could make them.
She had doubted it before, but she was the one who delivered the concubine herself, and she had breastfed her since she was little, and she even knew clearly that there was a small mole on the concubine's lower back.
She was very sure that this was the concubine, so she felt relieved. No matter what happened to the concubine, as long as she was still the same person, it was enough.
Back to the matter of making money in business, the concubine made a fortune. Even though she was only a concubine in the mansion, her expenses were not as good as those of the main wife. Everyone in the mansion knew about the concubine's generosity.
With the money, even though the concubine was not favored by the Fourth Prince and was targeted by him, she was able to live comfortably in the mansion.
Shi Rongyue was angry when she heard Nanny Gu talking about the concubine's rules, but after hearing the rest, her mood improved.
Well, so what if it’s a big kitchen? Shi Rongyue has plenty of money and can eat whatever she wants. A birthday party for a concubine is nothing.
But he was still a little unhappy, so he snorted coldly:
"It must be the Fourth Lady who is playing tricks again. She is so young, but she keeps talking about rules all day long. She is old-fashioned and boring. She is destined not to be liked by men."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Gu looked at the concubine and lowered her head. She didn't know whether the Fourth Concubine was liked by men, but she was quite respected by the Fourth Prince. Unless there was something else, the Fourth Prince would go to the main courtyard to have meals with the concubine every day.
But he decided not to say it out loud, for fear of upsetting his concubine.
Shi Rongyue looked down on the birthday banquet prepared by the mansion. He waved his hand and asked the servants to take it and divide it, then returned to the inner room.
"Concubine, it's already dinner time. You don't like the food in the main kitchen, so I'll ask the small kitchen to bring you some food?"
Nanny Gu carefully helped the concubine to sit on the kang, took a pillow and placed it behind her waist. After the concubine was seated, she took a cushion and covered her legs tightly.
In fact, the house was not cold at all because they spent money to install floor heating last month, but Nanny Gu was still worried.
Shi Rongyue leaned lazily on the pillow, supporting his head with one hand. He did not answer Nanny Gu's words, but suddenly asked another question.
"Mammy, don't you think the palace is very lively now? So many people have come to the palace just to celebrate Shi Nanxi's birthday. Obviously, when we celebrated our birthdays before, Shi Nanxi was always there for me. But now, the situation has really changed!"
After hearing this, Nanny Gu also recalled the time when she was in the Shi family. At that time, the eldest princess was very glorious, and the second princess was just a nobody in front of the eldest princess. Unexpectedly, once the beauty pageant took place, the fate of the two sisters would be reversed.
I tried to hold it back but couldn't help but sigh:
"If Concubine had not been framed by the villain, she would have been the Crown Princess now. I heard that the Emperor asked the Crown Prince to marry Xitana Gege according to the rules for marrying a Crown Princess."
Hearing this, Shi Rongyue, who had been feeling melancholy just now, suddenly came to her senses. Kangxi lived such a long life, and the more glorious the prince was now, the more miserable he would be in the future.
"Okay, I'm the Fourth Prince's concubine now, so don't mention the Crown Prince anymore, or else people will misunderstand me."
Nanny Gu came back to her senses and nodded quickly. Concubine was still rational and decisive. However, when it came to misunderstanding, she looked around and saw that there were only the master and servant. She leaned close to Concubine's ear and asked in a low voice:
"Concubine, last time you accidentally fell in the palace and had bleeding, luckily the Crown Prince rescued you in time. Do you think the Fourth Prince will misunderstand you and the Crown Prince?"
After that incident, the Fourth Prince came and did not behave abnormally, but Nanny Gu was still a little worried that the Fourth Prince would have ailments with the Concubine.
When Shi Rongyue heard Nanny Gu mention the time she fell and saw blood, she remembered the unbearable pain and fear she felt at that time. She subconsciously hugged her stomach and her face turned pale.
"No, we just met by accident that day. Even if I didn't marry the prince, I was the concubine of the prince's fourth brother. How could the prince watch me get into trouble? The fourth brother would not misunderstand me either."
"I hope the concubine doesn't get misunderstood. It's almost the end of the year, so she has to go to the palace. By then, the concubine's belly will be more than six months pregnant. It's freezing cold, so don't let anything unexpected happen."
Nanny Gu looked at the sky which had just cleared up in the morning and then turned gloomy again. She felt worried that it was going to snow.
Shi Rongyue's face turned grim. She fell on the way to the Cining Palace that day, which was not an accident at all. She was sure that the ground was tampered with, but others checked and said there was no problem, so the matter was finally left unresolved.
She was afraid, angry and resentful about this, so she had to investigate it herself afterwards, but she found nothing. The people, objects and the ground were all clean.
But it was too clean, which aroused suspicion. Unfortunately, she had limited manpower in the palace and could only investigate to that extent. She had to let it go reluctantly, but she suspected in her heart that the Fourth Lady was behind it.
It was not until Concubine De was suddenly demoted to Concubine Wu and stripped of her title "De" that she finally realized there was another possibility.
That is, the mastermind behind this is Concubine Wu. The novels I have read before also mentioned that Concubine Wu murdered the Fourth Prince's child.
But the truth was too unbelievable. She had traveled through time for so long that she had become more cautious. She knew that no one would believe her if she told it to others. She felt upset and at the same time became more alert towards Concubine Wu. But on the surface, she still blamed the Fourth Lady for the incident.
The two are destined to be in opposition. Discrediting the Fourth Lady will be very beneficial to her. Sooner or later, she will stand beside the Fourth Prince and become the Queen, second only to the Emperor.
What does it matter that Shi Nanxi is so glorious now? At most she will become a concubine in the future. She doesn’t even have any children. I wonder how miserable she will be!
Just as I thought of this, a servant ran into the room and reported hurriedly:
"Concubine, Empress Xian fainted. No, she has woken up and is now Empress Noble Xian!"
"What do you mean by fainted? What do you mean by Imperial Concubine Cheng Xian? Please explain in detail."
After hearing what happened at the birthday party in the palace today, Shi Rongyue leaned back on the couch in shock, and for the first time began to doubt his own judgment.
Given Kangxi's favor, would Shi Nanxi's future really be miserable?
