Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Chapter 308 Concubine Hui is unwilling to know the truth

Shi Nanxi stopped and looked back, then saw Concubine Hui walking towards her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced calmly at the thick powder on Concubine Hui's face.

I don’t know if it’s because of the Crown Prince’s matter that made Kangxi in a bad mood recently or what, but the eldest prince has been scolded by Kangxi every other day in the past few days, and Concubine Hui’s life has not been easy either.

"Sister Huifei."

Concubine Hui walked closer and looked at Shi Nanxi's rosy face. She thought of the news from the Imperial Household Department that the emperor had ordered people to make auspicious clothes for the imperial concubine.

When she first heard about the imperial concubine's auspicious attire, she was so excited, thinking that the emperor was going to promote her to the rank of imperial concubine.

After all, in terms of seniority in this palace, she has been accompanying the emperor since he was young, and has a deep relationship with him. In terms of offspring, she has the eldest son of the emperor. Except for Concubine Xian who just entered the palace this year and enjoyed the status of noble concubine, she is the most qualified to be promoted to noble concubine.

But Concubine Xian only entered the palace this year and had little experience. The Emperor had already made an exception and allowed her to enjoy the status of a noble concubine, so how could he possibly promote her to the position of noble concubine again?

But unexpectedly, she found out that the sizes of the imperial concubine's auspicious clothes made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were based on Concubine Xian's sizes, which meant that what she thought was impossible was the most likely to be promoted.

This was such a huge blow that Concubine Hui didn't want to believe it, and she was unwilling to accept it.

Why is it that Concubine Xian, who is so young and has no children, has the right to surpass her, the mother of the eldest prince, and become a noble concubine?

She was not convinced and wanted to contact her family to exert influence in the court. Since Concubine Xian could become a noble concubine, she, Concubine Hui, was more qualified to be a noble concubine than Concubine Xian.

However, things did not go as she wished. Before she could contact her family, she was implicated in Concubine De's affairs.

When she thought of Concubine De, Concubine Hui gritted her teeth secretly.

Who would have thought that he was so vicious and cruel, wanting to use the secret of the Fourth Prince and Shi Rongyue's previous affair to confuse her and the First Prince into using it against the Crown Prince, so that he could reap the benefits.

If the emperor had not noticed it, she and the eldest prince would have been deceived and made wedding clothes for others. Fortunately, in the end, Defei lost more than she gained.

What’s even more infuriating is that because of Concubine De’s scheming, the Emperor had taken his anger out on her and the eldest prince even though she and he hadn’t done anything yet.

Even in the future, whenever she and the eldest prince wanted to use Shi Rongyue to deal with the prince, they would be suspected by the emperor. This was what really made her angry.

Because of this incident, she realized even more clearly that the imperial concubine's auspicious dress was not prepared for her, but seeing Concubine Xian being so proud, how could she be willing to accept that?

In that case, let's muddy the waters and fish in troubled waters.

He calculated in his heart, but wore his usual mask on his face, and said in a gentle voice:

"Where did this come from, Sister Xianfei?"

The two had a feud before, but one should not hit a smiling person, so Shi Nanxi pretended to be polite and briefly recounted the incident when she met Xipin and others while visiting the Imperial Garden. Finally, she said:

"It seems that everyone has the same idea today!"

Concubine Hui thought to herself that she had not come here to see the weather clear up, but had received news from Concubine Xian and deliberately came to meet her by chance. However, she smiled and said:

"That's right." She looked around.

"From the direction my sister is heading, she seems to be preparing to return to the palace. I heard that the cakes in her palace are very unique. Would you be lucky enough to come and taste them?"

Shi Nanxi hugged Xixi and raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this person had something to say to her. She understood it in her heart and invited him along with her.

"It would be my honor if Sister Huifei could come to visit Chuxiu Palace. There is nothing else in the palace, but there are plenty of cakes."

The two looked at each other tacitly, and walked towards Chuxiu Palace talking and laughing.

When they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Shi Nanxi ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to bring some cakes.

Then he invited Concubine Hui to sit down and wait for the cakes to be served. Concubine Hui took a bite of the cake, swallowed it, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and praised:

"Sure enough, the cakes in my sister's palace have a unique taste, soft, sweet, and full of milk flavor. They are really delicious. I am in for a treat today."

Xixi was carried back to the side hall. Shi Nanxi was holding a teacup and sipping tea. When she heard this, she glanced at the cake she had only taken a bite of, and said, seeing through it but not saying anything:

"As long as you like it, I'll ask Hongying to pack a box for you to take back."

People carry people in sedan chairs.

Concubine Hui accepted it with a smile, then drank a sip of tea and suddenly mentioned the couple Tong Jia Wanru and Guo Luoluo Jirgalang.

"I wonder if you've heard about the fact that Guo Luoluo's third nephew took his wife to Guangzhou to serve as an official?"

Of course Shi Nanxi knew about this, as she was the one who facilitated it. Of course, she pretended not to know and exclaimed in surprise:

"Really? I don't know about this, but it would be good to go out and have a look, and broaden your horizons."

"Yes!"

Concubine Hui continued, and then said with a hint of interest:

"It's just that other places are not as familiar as the capital. Madam Tong Jia was able to follow Guo Luoluo Jirgalang to take office without fear of hardship. The two of them have a really good relationship. To be honest, I really didn't expect that the two of them would become husband and wife. It seems that fate is really destined by heaven."

She emphasized the word "destined". Shi Nanxi's eyelashes trembled and her brain started to work at high speed.

What does Concubine Hui mean by this?

Could it be that he knew that he had played along with Concubine De's plan to plot against Tong Jia Wanru?

But what does it matter if she knows? She is already Concubine Xian and will soon be Imperial Concubine. Even if Concubine Hui reveals the truth to Kangxi, she is not afraid, but she is on high alert.

"Yes, fate is really hard to tell. Why did Concubine Hui think of Guo Luoluo and his wife today?"

When Concubine Hui heard the probing words, the corners of her mouth curled up even deeper, and she said:

"It's because I met Sister Guo Luoluo two days ago. She seemed to be in a good mood, so I asked her and found out."

"Oh, Sister Guo Luoluofei!"

Heather Brook thought deeply and quickly.

Why did Concubine Hui specifically mention that Concubine Guo Luoluo was in a good mood the past two days?

Apart from Shi Rongyue's bleeding, the only other thing in the palace recently is the demotion of Concubine De. It happened to be two days ago. Concubine Guo Luoluo was her rival, so it's normal for Concubine De to be very happy about her demotion.

But if that was all, why would Concubine Hui go to Chuxiu Palace to say this? Then he thought of how Concubine Hui had just mentioned Guo Luoluo Jirgalang and Tong Jia Wanru.

Others didn't know why the two were granted marriage in the first place, but she knew it very clearly. It was Defei who didn't want Tong Jia Wanru to enter the palace, so she set up a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

So, did Concubine Hui come today because she knew about this matter and deliberately revealed it to her? She also mentioned that Concubine Guo Luoluo has been in a good mood in the past two days. Could it be that Concubine De’s demotion this time is related to Concubine Guo Luoluo?

If what she guessed in her heart was true, then what was the purpose of Concubine Hui revealing it to her?

I was thinking about it, but I said:

"When I met Guo Luoluo today, I saw that she was in a very good mood. Maybe it was because it rained continuously recently and she was stuck in the house all day. Today the weather is clear and she is happy to go out for a walk!"

Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Xian who was pretending to be so great and thought to herself that this person was indeed not a simple person. It seemed that she had underestimated her before.

"Maybe. Sister Guo Luoluo has had really bad luck recently. I heard that the reason why Guo Luoluo Jierhalang was sent out was because he was frightened by the previous incident in Mulan Paddock. That's why he wanted to be sent out."

Then she shook her head again:

"Alas, I was almost framed in that incident. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to avoid it. Otherwise, I would have died unjustly."

Hearing the words "Mulan Paddock", Shi Nanxi suddenly looked at Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui just smiled without saying anything, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.

Shi Nanxi had some guesses in her mind and tightened her grip.

The two chatted for a while, and then Concubine Hui went back with a box of cakes, but Shi Nanxi's face darkened.
