Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 553 I am very disappointed

Huipin was afraid that Kangxi would be seduced by her beauty and believe that Tong Jia was the victim. She was also worried that Kangxi would favor the other party for the sake of Empress Xiaokangzhang. So she wanted to make a big deal of the matter. Only when the right and wrong were clear would Kangxi not go too far.

"Your Majesty, if the Empress Dowager hadn't intervened in time, Tong Jia would have rushed over and assaulted me." Huipin wiped her nonexistent tears with a handkerchief and defended herself:

"What I said was indeed a bit excessive. I admit it and am willing to apologize to Concubine Tong Jia for it.

But I feel so wronged. It is obvious that every time it is Concubine Tongjia who deliberately finds fault and takes the initiative to provoke conflicts. For the sake of the late Empress Dowager Cihe, I have been tolerant again and again, but... But Concubine Tongjia is getting more and more unreasonable.

No matter what, I am still the head of a palace and the mother of Yinzhen. If I allow the Tongjia concubine to provoke me, how can I have the dignity to do so?"

"You!" Concubine Tong Jia did not expect that Nara would take the initiative to mention her aunt, Empress Dowager Cihe.

These were clearly her own words. She should have mentioned her aunt in a tactful way after she confided in her cousin about the bullying she had suffered during this period, making her cousin feel guilty and sad.

However, Nara not only mentioned it, but also accused herself implicitly of relying on the power of Empress Dowager Cihe to be so arrogant.

Concubine Tong Jia looked at her cousin in panic, worried that he had misunderstood her, and she weakly defended herself, "No, Your Majesty, I don't have any."

"Nothing?" Kangxi asked, "Is what Concubine Niuhulu just recounted the truth? Have you omitted anything? Have you exaggerated anything?"

"No, no."

Even if Concubine Tong Jia wanted to tell her cousin that the Nianhulu clan and the Nara clan were in cahoots, what she said would naturally favor the Nara clan, and I'm afraid her cousin would not believe it.

After all, there were so many witnesses, including the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. If Kangxi asked anyone, he would know that what Nianhulu said was true and would think that she was framing him.

"If that's the case, why do you still have the nerve to say, 'Let me make the decision for you?'"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Tong Jia immediately looked up and looked at Kangxi in disbelief.

Cousin, what did he just say? How could he say that about me? Even if he misunderstood me, what about the Tong family? What about my aunt? Did he not care about them?

Even Huipin, who was kneeling beside Concubine Tongjia, looked at Kangxi in surprise, thinking: Is this man possessed? He is not partial.

Kangxi glared at Nara. What was that expression on her face? When she looked at him, it was as if she was looking at a novel object. It was too presumptuous.

His main purpose today is Tonggiya clan, but that doesn't mean he is willing to let Nara clan go. Kangxi still remembers Nara clan's behavior of poking him in the heart a few days ago.

How could moving Yinzhen to the Southern Three Houses calm Kangxi's anger? Wasn't that just according to the rules?

Today, Kangxi finally found an opportunity. If he did not take the opportunity to severely punish Nara, he would be sorry for Ji Nai's repeated criticism of Kangxi as a vengeful and stingy person.

"Didn't you instigate this? Or did you not intend to attack Huipin?" Before Tong Jia Concubine could speak in a state of collapse, Kangxi reminded her, "Think carefully before answering. Otherwise, you would be deceiving the emperor."

Kangxi's voice was so cold that the originally confident concubine Tong Jia began to feel uneasy. After regaining some of her senses, she swallowed the cry of injustice that was about to come out of her mouth and quickly analyzed her current situation.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed she who initiated today's incident. From the very beginning, the Nara clan had been unwilling to let go of the Guo Luoluo sisters and had not even given her a glance.

It was only after she spoke that Nara's attention was diverted.

But, so what?

If it weren't for Nara and Ma Jia working together to frame her, how could she have wanted to retaliate, and how could she have repeatedly made trouble for the two slaves.

It's all their fault!

But Concubine Tong Jia also knew that this statement was untenable, so she could only swallow her anger for the time being.

As for what Nara said about beating, it was sheer nonsense. Even if she was really furious and lost her mind at the time and wanted to slap Nara in the face, so what?

The fact is, she didn't even touch the corner of Nara's clothes, so how could she be accused of beating her?

Concubine Tong Jia looked extremely aggrieved and said, "I have been carefully brought up by my family since I was little. How could I be like a shrew and hit someone? Not to mention, this is the Cining Palace. Am I crazy?"

If it weren't for the fact that the two people on her blacklist were now engaged in a dog-eat-dog drama, the Grand Empress Dowager would have wanted to ask, "Do you still know that this is the Cining Palace?"

One by one, they all looked down upon her, otherwise they would not have dared to make a scene when paying their respects.

After all, it was the emperor's attitude that affected them!

The emperor's respect and hospitality towards the Cining Palace are no longer what they used to be. These little concubines who are willing to take advantage of others really dare to treat themselves as toothless tigers.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, hiding the sharpness in them.

Concubine Tongjia thought that Nara would be speechless after her questions, and then she could use this loophole to overturn what Nara had said before, which were repeated provocations against her.

Since Nara could make something that never happened out of thin air and fabricate the lie that she was going to beat someone up, then the truth couldn't be that Concubine Tong Jia was always bullied by Nara, so she couldn't help but want to get back at her today?

But unexpectedly, Huipin was waiting for Tong Jia to bring up the matter of "beating". She sneered:

"Tong Jia, where is your seat? Look at where you are kneeling now. It's almost level with me.

What? Are you trying to say that you were pushed here? Or, did you rush over here because you felt you had gone too far and wanted to kneel down and apologize to me? Or, maybe, you didn't want to hit me at all?"

Huipin covered her mouth in fear, hiding the corners of her mouth that were raised, but her eyes kept looking at the Empress Dowager on the high throne. It was almost as if she was saying that Tong Jia wanted to hit the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager's originally relaxed expression darkened again. She really didn't expect that while watching the show, she would see herself in it.

This Nara family is so bold that she actually dares to bring herself into this.

What made the Empress Dowager even more speechless was that there were actually idiots who believed it.

Nara said this just to make the matter bigger. After all, Tonggiya's actions at that time were indeed suspicious.

Even when the Empress Dowager was angry, she was frightened by Tong Jia's crazy rush. However, this does not mean that the Empress Dowager really believed that Tong Jia dared to hurt her.

Even Nara herself, who had suggested this possibility, probably didn't believe it was true. It wasn't like Tonggiya was seeking death, or the kind that wanted all nine clans to die together.

Concubine Tongjia's mind went blank, and she froze. Only now did she realize that she had been plotted against, and that Nara had deliberately said those words to provoke her. "Your Majesty..."

"Tong Jia, I am very disappointed in you. If my mother were still alive, I'm afraid she would also be disappointed." Kangxi looked at his adopted cousin expressionlessly.

At the beginning, my mother really liked this cousin. She was still young and very well-behaved in front of her, which to a large extent made up for her regret that she could not raise her personally.

Therefore, even though Kangxi knew that Tong Jia was one person in front of him and his mother, and another behind their backs, Kangxi did not care about Tong Jia's temper tantrums against the servants.

As long as she could make his mother happy, Kangxi didn't care about his cousin's nature.

However, after not seeing each other for many years, Kangxi discovered that his cousin was no longer the child she used to be. She had grown up and had greater ambitions. Beautiful clothes and jewelry could no longer satisfy her.

What she pursued became the position of queen, and even the position of crown prince. In addition, she also wanted her own heart. She was so greedy, just like her two uncles in the Tong family.

If that were the case, Kangxi might not have been so cruel to Tonggiya.

After all, she was his mother's favorite child, and after all, she was his cousin. Kangxi was not incapable of suppressing or punishing her. He was confident that he could control Tong Jia's minor troubles within the scope allowed by him.
