Chapter 409 Establishing Prestige
Chapter 409 Establishing Prestige
“Even if no one in the palace can rival you except those two giants, you should not slack off. Even a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
What's more, those famous women in Kangxi's harem in history have not yet appeared on the stage. Isn't it too early to relax our vigilance at this time?
How many enemies will emerge in the general election every three years?
Ji Nai, you have already woken up from the dream of love, and it is time to wake up from the dream of comfort as well. As long as there are people, there will be struggles, unless Kangxi is gone.
So, it’s still early for us to retire.”
Yuan Xu said this not to make Ji Nai feel bad, but to set a goal for Ji Nai. With a direction to work towards, he would not be so easily distracted by random thoughts.
It’s a pity that this is not the modern era, and even if she wanted to take Ji Nai to see a psychiatrist, she had no way to do so.
I originally thought that although Ji Nai's psychological problems were serious, as long as the children grew up safely, Ji Nai's broken heart would be healed.
However, the facts told Yuan Xu that it was impossible.
Ji Nai’s concern is not only about his children, but also about Kangxi.
What’s hateful is that Yuan Xu only confirmed this now. If she had known this earlier, how could she have allowed Ji Nai to develop feelings for Kangxi and made her fall in the same pit twice?
But then again, Kangxi was not a fool. He could naturally distinguish between false feelings and true ones. Without exchanging sincerity for sincerity, even if Ji Nai acted more sincerely, he would not have achieved everything he has now.
Without being pampered by the emperor, Ji Nai would never fall in love again.
However, Ji Nai gave and also received feedback, and as a result, the friendship only deepened.
Ji Nai murmured:
[The current affection is real, but it is also true that people’s hearts are fickle. ]
"Yes, so, before Kangxi lets you down, don't think too much and suspect when he will betray you, because this suspicion itself is a kind of betrayal.
But I am not asking you to hand over everything to Kangxi and let him decide everything for you.
Ji Nai, don't underestimate yourself.
Even though she lost the emperor's favor, Rong Fei, who was the last of the four concubines, was still able to protect Yin Zhi. In this life, the power we have to protect ourselves will only be stronger."
【strength……】
Ji Nai's sensitive nerves about palace fighting came online in time.
[Kunning Palace will soon welcome a new mistress. Perhaps, this time, the dispute between Niuhulu and Tongjia for the position of empress will still arise. Nara and I are already very eye-catching, so it is not a good idea to use the palace power to do something at this time.]
Niuhulu was not a simple character, as can be seen from the fact that she was able to hold the palace power firmly in her hands in her previous life.
Kangxi was angry with her because of her father, and he never concealed his cold attitude. Under such circumstances, Nianhulu was still able to convince the harem.
No matter how deep Ji Nai buried the nails, there would probably be only a few left after Niuhulu came to power, so there was no need to waste his efforts.
[However, after Changsheng was born, Yinzhi would not be born for several more years, so...]
"Don't!
It’s best not to use the things left by the system on yourself, except for the spiritual liquid. What if something goes wrong like the nightmare pill?
I know you want to avoid the subsequent fight by taking advantage of the accident during childbirth to injure your body.
But Ji Nai, you were extremely weak at that time, and if there was any mistake, we would not be able to bear the consequences."
What are you thinking about?
I wanted to take advantage of the period before Yinzhi appeared to secretly develop my own power.
After Niohuru becomes the empress, she will definitely replace everyone in every position with her own people, so all the efforts made before that can easily become in vain.
But after that?
Niuhulu was not long-lived and had limited energy, so it was impossible for her to keep an eye on every place in the palace.
At that time, it will depend on my skills, whether I can succeed under the eyes of the Niuhulu clan. I have no chance in key positions, but there is still a chance of success in other places. 】
"Oh, that's what you mean. I thought..."
[Do you think I want to show weakness? ]
"Yeah." After all, this was a method that Ji Nai often used before.
[But before, there were not so many coveted princes in Zhongcui Palace. Besides, Hesheli's personality was strong, and her respectfulness from beginning to end could highlight her persecution of the harem.
However, Niuhulu was a person who valued rules and was a qualified queen. As long as I didn't make any mistakes, she wouldn't deliberately find fault with me.
So my enemy is no longer the queen, but the other concubines.
From all the things that happened in the past, my humble image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. No matter whether the concubines believe it or not, it is enough for Kangxi to believe it. If I show weakness again, I will really be regarded as a soft persimmon that can be bullied. 】
"So, what we have to do next is to establish our authority?"
Ji Nai nodded with satisfaction.
Yuan Xu cheered and said, "I actually felt that I shouldn't show weakness just now, but I didn't know how to say it. Some of my thoughts are just fragments and there is no way to connect them together.
But as soon as you said it just now, I understood it. "
Ji Nai agreed: [Indeed, you have improved a lot. You can survive from the first episode of a palace fighting drama to more than ten episodes.]
"Hehe, I knew it." He knew that he was quite smart, even smarter than Ji Nai. The only thing the other person had more than him was one lifetime experience.
Who knows, maybe in the future she will really be able to realize her wish to protect Ji Nai.
Returning to his familiar field and no longer wallowing in the quagmire of emotions, Ji Nai felt a lot more relaxed.
……
"Master, Huipin invites you to see me."
"What is she doing here?" Ji Nai frowned.
She had finally gotten into a better mood during this period and didn't want to see Nara. She had a hunch that her mood would be affected once she saw Nara.
But in the end, Ji Nai still let Huipin in, because the other party came in under the pretext of visiting Yinreng.
Although Yinreng is now in the care of Ji Nai, everyone knows that this is only temporary, and Ji Nai cannot become the adoptive mother of the Empress's legitimate son, for no other reason than that her status is not high enough.
As the only concubine in charge of palace affairs, it was reasonable for Huipin to come to visit Yinreng. If Ji Nai stopped them, someone would say that Ji Nai wanted to control the legitimate prince, and that was why he didn't allow anyone to get close.
"Where is Yinreng?" Huipin ignored Ji Nai's unhappy expression and sat down leisurely.
"Okay, you're not really here to see Yinreng, so why bother bringing him out just for the sake of formality?"
Huipin looked at Ji Nai with an ambiguous expression, "I didn't expect that you are so kind-hearted that you are willing to protect even Hesheli's child sincerely."
Ji Nai said calmly: "After all, I have raised it for a while, so I have some feelings for it."
Huipin's expression really changed this time. She didn't expect that Ma Jiashi was serious. "Are you kidding me?"
