'Wu Ya Cheng Lin had better ensure that she doesn't give Tong Jia Rong Yue any chance, otherwise Tong Jia Rong Yue will definitely choose to retaliate in kind.'
Wu Ya Cheng Lin is dancing on the edge of a knife, stepping on Tong Jia Rong Yue's heart, and judging from her behavior, Tong Jia Rong Yue may have no choice but to suffer in silence.
Regardless of what unknown aftereffects this incident might leave Yinyu, Tong Jia Rongyue's proud and arrogant nature would not be easily appeased.
Tsk, all I can say is that Wuya Chenglin chose a path with a high success rate but also a very dangerous future. Now that things have already happened and there's no going back, all we can do is see who's more cunning and who's more ruthless.
As they walked, Xiu Ning complained to Chun Yu that the accident hadn't affected Qixiang Palace, so she could stand aside and watch the show.
"Speaking of excitement, hasn't Consort Jia received the news yet?"
That's taking forever. I hope we don't really have to wait until Consort Jia returns with the child to find out. She'll be furious, it'll be a fight to the death.
Chunyu shook her head. "This servant hasn't received any news. They've kept it very secret."
Originally, very little news was sent from the Forbidden City to the summer palace, and Wanliuha's pregnancy was, to some extent, an excellent opportunity. If it were to be used, it would certainly be at the most opportune moment. In Chunyu's opinion, this matter would be exposed at the earliest when Consort Jia gave birth, and at the latest when Consort Jia returned to the palace.
"Alas, the imperial harem... people's hearts have become corrupted."
Fortunately, she had the system as her backing; otherwise, she would definitely be the one suffering now.
Xiu Ning could know how bad her reputation was in the harem without even leaving her home. After all, she was deeply favored by the emperor, and everyone else wanted to kill her.
“We should learn from the experiences of others, and remember to place more people in the palace in the future. Also, we must protect the palace, especially the children.”
Everything that should be said, and everything that shouldn't be said, needs to be made clear to Yinyi and the others.
Although they were getting old, even Yinlu had moved into the Prince's Residence.
The real fear is that they lack understanding of the concubines in the harem, and if they suffer losses, not only will they be severely harmed, but it will also affect their own mentality.
Throughout history, how many outstanding children have been ruined by adults in imperial harems?
Some people can't stand seeing others do well, while others simply have a conflict of interest.
Xiu Ning's clan, the Xitala clan, has made rapid progress this year, but it still lacks the foundation and heritage of some established families.
And as her three children grew up, more and more of her family members paid attention to her.
To put it bluntly, the Fucha clan, who had previously invested in her, briefly terminated their cooperation after a new concubine entered the palace, but now the Fucha clan has come close again through Xiuning's mother.
Furthermore, Consort Rong, of the Guarjia clan, who was very close to her, also had members of her family who wanted to form a marriage alliance with Xiuning, directly investing in Yinyi and Yinlu.
The fact that this situation has occurred most directly proves that the Xiuning lineage is worthwhile.
Therefore, Xiuning paid more attention to her words and actions in the palace, and also used this to demand things of her children, which can be considered a kind of training.
Chunyu nodded in agreement to Xiuning's words, saying, "Don't worry, Master, this servant understands."
Qixiang Palace has always been one of the most watched places, with many eyes watching them every day, waiting for them to make a mistake so they can step on them and, ideally, suppress Qixiang Palace to reduce their competitors.
Chunyu was fully aware of these people's intentions, and she secretly vowed that with her there, she would never let them succeed.
Hmph, you want to compete with Qixiang Palace? In your next life.
...
When Xiuning arrived at Wuya Chenglin's residence, the main hall was already surrounded by a group of people.
Among them was Tong Jia Rongyue. Tong Jia Rongyue arrived in a hurry and had specially removed her costume and makeup, making her look pitiful and disheveled. Coupled with her aloof and arrogant temperament, she easily evoked pity in people.
Wow, they've made ample preparations. At least they didn't come empty-handed. It seems Tong Jia Rongyue understands that in this situation, she should try her best to gain Kangxi's understanding.
Although it wasn't Kangxi who suffered losses and injuries, he was the emperor and the one who ultimately made the decisions.
As long as Emperor Kangxi doesn't want to pursue the matter, the affair between Yinyu and Wuya Chenglin won't cause any trouble.
Having figured all this out, Xiuning simply found a corner and hid.
This matter has nothing to do with her; she can just observe from the sidelines and doesn't need to get involved.
Xiuning's decision not to get involved doesn't mean others won't.
Observing from the sidelines, Xiu Ning noticed that some people really liked to join in the fun (namely, Consort Hui and Consort Ling). As expected of people from the same family, they couldn't really distinguish the situation on the field.
While complaining that the two were clueless, Xiu Ning heard a familiar voice again, "Your Highness the Consort knows how to enjoy a peaceful life. I am truly envious."
With a fake smile, Xiu Ning turned to face Consort Yi, who had already broken ties with her. "Consort Yi just finished her confinement period. Instead of staying in the palace to take care of the Ninth Prince, how could you bear to run away?"
Ever since the incident involving Yinqi, Consort Yi and Xiuning have always been at odds whenever they meet.
It can't be said that the two of them really had a feud (after all, Yinqi was still being raised by Consort Yi, and Consort Yi didn't get any benefits from the Empress Dowager), but since everyone (especially the bosses in the harem) liked them, they could only act this way.
Right now, Consort Yi's original intention was to greet them, and Xiu Ning's original intention was just to say something casually. However, the two of them usually speak very bluntly, and unconsciously they will carry some extra tone, so that some of their words sound very harsh, achieving the goal of arguing even if they don't want to.
"I heard that Consort Wuya had an accident, which also implicated Prince Yinyu. I have to come and see for myself."
Consort Yi's words were blunt. Neither of them had any objections to the other, but sometimes they still had to save face.
Xiuning nodded. "Yes, it's too coincidental. I heard about the Hundred Beasts Garden incident."
The first place where the incident occurred was the Hundred Beasts Garden. It makes sense that Yinyu would go there often, since he goes there all the time. But it doesn't make sense that Consort Wuya would go there from so far away.
"...Your Majesty, Yu'er and I are truly innocent. Everyone knows that Yu'er is well-behaved and sensible. How could she have attacked Consort Wuya for no reason?"
Besides, Yu'er is just a child; his strength is limited. How could he possibly push away the noblewoman Wuya?
While wiping away her tears, Tong Jia Rongyue tearfully recounted the suspicious points of the whole incident to Kangxi, especially her inability to accept Jing Ci's description.
What does it mean that his own son made the first move? What does it mean that his own master was disrespectful in his words? Yinyu is not stupid. How could he act so brainless?
Even if Tong Jia Rongyue understands that Yinyu ultimately suffers a loss in this incident, it doesn't mean that the loss cannot be reduced.
Gently wiping her cheeks, Tong Jia Rongyue continued to ask her question, "Yu'er went to the Hundred Beasts Garden because he really likes it there lately. I was worried that there wouldn't be another chance like this after we returned to the palace, so I allowed this servant to take him out to play."
Why would Consort Wuya, who is pregnant, go to the Hundred Beasts Garden?
"Those animals in the zoo are bad for pregnant women. Could it be that Lady Wuya was knowingly doing this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tong Jiarongyue turned her gaze to Jing Ci, and at the same time led the others to shift their focus.
