Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 623 "Soothing" the Child

"Consort Rong had already fallen out of favor, but she took advantage of your illness to make a brilliant comeback and has now won His Majesty's favor again. She is indeed no ordinary person."

"Didn't we already know this before we even entered the palace? If she's simple-minded, even if she's fortunate enough to give birth to an imperial heir, she won't be able to protect him."

Look at Consort Hui, who was able to intimidate the Empress by relying on her favor, but in the end she became just another ordinary person. Then look at the group of concubines before the grand conferment of titles to the six palaces. Consort Rong, who had already been conferred the title of Consort and had kept her five sons and one daughter, could she be a simple person?

"But are we just going to do nothing?"

"What does that old woman intend to do? Is she targeting Consort Rong, or her child?"

"The slaves dare not."

"You don't dare, but I do, which is why you're trying to persuade me."

"This servant..." Granny Yang knelt on the ground, not daring to speak again.

"...Nanny, don't be confused. As long as I haven't made any mistakes, no one can shake my position as Empress."

As for Consort Rong, her background limited her, making it difficult for her to climb even to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort. Therefore, your worries, Granny, will not come true.

"They say a son resembles his father, but what about Emperor Shunzhi back then... what if our Emperor also..."

"If that's the case, then it's the fate of our Niohuru family." Looking at the wet nurse's pale face, the Empress showed no mercy and continued, "He is the Emperor. If he insists on doing something, who can stop him?"

Emperor Shunzhi's first empress was the Empress Dowager's niece, yet she was still demoted to Consort Jing. Didn't the Cining Palace intervene at the time? They couldn't stop it anyway.

If it weren't for the devastating impact of the two empress dethronements on the Borjigit clan, and the fact that the Qing Dynasty couldn't completely ignore the Khorchin's wrath, the current Empress Dowager might not still be living in the Shou Kang Palace.

The Empress Dowager was, after all, the mother of Emperor Shunzhi. What were the others compared to her?

“Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Moreover, His Majesty is not the late Emperor, and Consort Rong is not Consort Dong'e. Before this happens, your worries are unfounded.

If we make a move now, wouldn't we be following in the footsteps of the Hesheli clan?

I know why you say these things, but the foundation that my Niohuru family has today is due to the hard work of our clan members in the previous dynasty. If you want to take shortcuts through women's connections, even if you are glorious, it will only last for this generation.

Let them give up on this idea as soon as possible!

As for you, Granny, if you still don't recognize who your master is, then you should leave the palace.

"Master, this servant wouldn't dare, this servant only..."

"Is it just jealousy of the Hesheli and Tong families now? Or is it just that some people in your family make a lot of sense?"

Granny Yang lay prostrate on the ground, her mind filled with fear, no longer able to muster any desire for a better future.

"Your eyes are deceived by illusion, and you cannot even see what is happening right in front of you."

Granny Yang suddenly looked up. The princess meant…

"Something happened in the palace?" Granny Yang asked with great difficulty.

After the master fell ill, he entrusted all the affairs of the palace to her, Chunlan, and Xiahe. At the time, she even patted her chest and assured the master that he could just focus on recuperating.

If something really happened... Granny Yang blushed with embarrassment.

"A message just came from below that one of the palace maids serving Consort Tongjia is pregnant."

Granny Yang's heart skipped a beat.

The combination of the words "Consort Tong," "palace maid," and "pregnant" indicates that this matter is definitely not simple.

But she knew nothing about it, and now she wanted to ask her master, "Has the imperial physician taken her pulse?"

"No, but I've heard it's been three months already."

Granny Yang's face was ashen. She already knew it was three months, so did it matter whether the imperial physician had taken her pulse or not?

"There's no need for that, Granny. Everyone has desires. This time, we've been tricked." But does Madam Tongjia, and the Tong family behind her, really have that kind of power?

"The waters in this palace seem to run far deeper than I imagined. Granny, this is the first time, and I hope it will be the last."

"It was my carelessness, please give me another chance, my master."

"Go investigate, find out the truth, we need to know who our enemy really is."

"Yes."

Zhongcuigong

Ji Nai, who was holding Kangxi like a child, was taken aback. She looked at Yuan Xu floating in the air and thought about learning more details.

However, Kangxi, sensing that Ji Nai was distracted, became displeased and started to complain, "Shouldn't you be focusing all your attention on me right now?"

Ji Nai lowered his head and said helplessly, "I've been coaxing you for a long time."

Moreover, Ji Nai rarely has the opportunity to meet Yuan Xu now, and he has just learned that the Empress Dowager and Wuya are getting involved together, so he must hurry up and find out the truth.

Kangxi did not speak again, but simply got out of Ji Nai's arms and lay down alone on the other side, leaving Ji Nai with only his back to him.

Looking at Kangxi's lonely and pitiful figure, Ji Nai felt both angry and amused. Was this man becoming more and more childish?

"Isn't this a good thing? I've heard people say that no matter how old a man is, he still has a childish side, it's just that there are few people who can make him show that childish side."

But soothing a child is really tiring.

"Don't act innocent after getting the benefit." Yuan Xu looked at the stubborn Ji Nai with disdain.

If she had a physical body, I would definitely make her look in the mirror and see how gentle her eyes are now.

"Alright, I've delivered the message. Think carefully about when the Empress Dowager noticed Uya. I need to hurry back, or I might miss something important."

Hey! Wait a minute... really, running so fast.

Ji Nai felt a void in his heart. The next second, he met the gaze of Kangxi, who was glaring at him with gritted teeth. The slight discomfort in his heart was instantly replaced by helplessness.

"Long live the Lord..."

"Don't touch me!"

She didn't even use the pronoun "朕" (the imperial "I") anymore, which shows how furious she was. But she didn't really do anything, did she?

Although he thought this way, Ji Nai still hugged Kangxi without hesitation, ignoring the other's struggles, touching his face and his hands.

"You really think you can fool me like a child?"

"Your Majesty has been wronged, isn't it only right that I comfort you?"

"Ha, that sounds nice, but you were just spacing out." Kangxi's voice was full of resentment.

"...It wasn't exactly daydreaming. I was just thinking that Her Majesty the Empress said a while ago that the breakfasts I made suited her taste, otherwise..."

Kangxi knew what Ji Nai wanted to say. He had also heard about the matter. After the Empress took medicine to regulate her spleen and stomach, she had even more difficulty eating. She could only eat more of the breakfast that Ji Nai sent.

It's equivalent to eating only one meal a day, no wonder the empress weakened so quickly.
