Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 419 Cold Temperament

Nanny Li and others in Zhongcui Palace held their breath, fearing that they would hear the Emperor's scolding in the next second.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu looked at each other and lowered their heads silently.

Don’t be fooled by Wei Zhu’s expression of being calm. In fact, there are already turbulent waves in her heart. So is this the position of Concubine Rong in His Majesty’s heart?

No wonder when he reported Zhong Cui Palace's scandal before, the Emperor didn't care at all, and Liang Jiugong smiled at him in a mean way.

He also thought that Liang Jiugong was proud of his solid backing.

Therefore, the reason why Liang Jiugong was close to Zhong Cuigong was not because he had defected to a different master, but because he knew how much the Emperor valued Rong Fei.

It's ridiculous that Wei Zhu actually thought that Liang Jiugong had betrayed the Emperor and wanted to use this to bring him down.

It turned out that he had taken the wrong path from the very beginning.

While Wei Zhu was feeling extremely regretful, he was also secretly cursing Liang Jiugong for being so dishonest. The old man must have seen through the clues a long time ago, but he didn't say a word and just watched him go down this path to the end.

Wei Zhu silently wondered if it would be too late for her to establish a good relationship with Zhong Cui Palace now.

On the other side, Ji Nai was anxiously waiting for Kangxi's reaction. She thought Kangxi would be angry and that Kangxi would make fun of her, but she didn't expect Kangxi's reaction to be so excited.

Ji Nai, who was carried to the inner room by Kangxi, covered her face silently. She felt ashamed to face people.

Kangxi, with a satisfied look on his face, caressed Ji Nai's exposed shoulders, thinking that it would be better if Ji Nai was not pregnant. On the other hand, he sighed: Ji Nai really loved him deeply.

He said, how could Ji Nai have no reaction at all to his enthronement as queen? He was wrong. Ji Nai just didn't dare to show it, but he was actually very jealous in his heart.

After a few days, Ji Nai woke up and stayed in bed, enjoying the hard-earned leisure.

Yuan Xu asked worriedly, "Are we really not going? Weren't you always afraid that others would think you were spoiled? Even if you and Kangxi stayed up late at night, you would still get up the next day to pay your respects?"

[That's different. In the past, if you asked for leave after sleeping with someone, saying you were "uncomfortable", no one would believe you. They might even think you were showing off.

But aren't there rumors already? Even if they think my discomfort is fake, they'll only think of it as a rumor.

Yuan Xu suddenly realized, "So you did it on purpose, deliberately making them think the rumors were true."

[Isn't this a good thing? The Zhongcui Palace is in turmoil right now. Even with Yinreng standing in the way, people will still keep an eye on it.]

"Then why didn't you ask for leave earlier?" Yuan Xu frowned. She felt scared whenever she thought of what Ji Nai had encountered on the way to pay his respects.

Although small tricks like stones, moss, and even oil can be seen at a glance, what if? What if Ji Nai is not so lucky and really falls into the trap?

"Don't I want to? I have to consider the opinions of Kangxi and the Grand Empress Dowager. Now that Kangxi has "taken the initiative" to propose it, there are no worries."

"That's not right. Even if it's Kangxi, he wouldn't think too much about it. But what about the Empress Dowager? Aren't you afraid of provoking her sensitive nerves again?"

【Then you just wait and see. 】

......

The Grand Empress Dowager twirled her Buddhist beads and asked casually, "Have you investigated thoroughly? Was it really His Majesty's idea that Concubine Rong take leave?"

"Yes." The visitor didn't even dare to raise his head, fearing that the Empress Dowager would be angry. But until he left, the Empress Dowager didn't react at all.

After a long silence, the Empress Dowager spoke: "Su Ma, what do you think the Emperor means?" The Empress Dowager's voice was filled with deep fatigue.

"Gege..."

"I am only dissatisfied with him for praising the son of that vicious woman Hesheli to the skies, yet the Emperor is using Concubine Rong to warn me."

"Perhaps the emperor doesn't mean that." Su Malagu explained with difficulty.

"That's not what I meant. Have you forgotten what the Emperor did when I was 'sick' a few days ago?"

Some time ago, the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace was unwell and cancelled the visits from the concubines, just waiting for Kangxi to come.

As a result, the filial grandson did come to visit, and his words and actions were all appropriate, showing his care and concern for the Empress Dowager, his grandmother.

However, as soon as he heard the Empress Dowager mention Yinreng, his expression changed immediately. Not only did he refuse to talk to the Empress Dowager, but in the next few days, he was often called away when he was attending to the Empress Dowager.

Either Yinreng cried and the palace maids couldn't comfort him, or Yinreng got angry and wanted to find his father.

Then Kangxi looked at the Empress Dowager with an embarrassed look. What else could the Empress Dowager do? Of course, she could only let Kangxi go back. Otherwise, how could she still "compete for favor" with her great-grandson?

When Yinreng was raised by Rong Fei, there were not so many problems, and Kangxi had to go back to make the decision. But the Empress Dowager also knew that if it was not Kangxi's order, those palace servants would not dare to come to the Cining Palace to look for him.

The Empress Dowager was well aware of her grandson's attitude, so she could only recover quickly.

The child had grown up and she could no longer control him. Even though the Empress Dowager was unhappy, she had to give up after being persuaded by Sumalagu and the Empress Dowager.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect it to happen again today.

"This isn't necessarily about that. Perhaps Rong Fei's belly is getting bigger, and His Majesty wants her to be less tired."

"Don't you understand Rong Fei's personality? To put it nicely, she's respectful and humble, but in reality, she's just cautious and careful, and doesn't want to give anyone a chance to criticize her.

Not to mention that she is still four or five months away from giving birth. Even if she is about to give birth, she will come to pay her respects obediently as long as I and the emperor don't say anything.

The pregnancy is still young, and even if the emperor feels sorry for her, she will still advise him, for fear that she will be dissatisfied.

If it was really for her pregnancy, she would have needed my consent before she would be willing to stay in Zhongcui Palace."

Su Malagu was helpless. "You said that as if you were being mean to Concubine Rong."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Although I have never tortured Concubine Rong, I have not been very kind to her either."

Su Malagu teased:

"So Gege also knew about this. Rong Fei is such a wonderful child. You personally picked her for Your Majesty. Why are you treating her so badly?"

"Who knew she would grow up to be such a beauty? If she were still like she was before, like a lucky doll, I would definitely dote on her."

"Then you don't have to worry now."

"The emperor is more cruel than his father and Mafa." Given his cold and indifferent nature, the Empress Dowager did not have to worry that he would "want beauties over the throne."
