Rong Fei is not honored

"What else can I say? It's nothing more than Borjigit's death. I told you not to worry about it. I mentioned the friendship between the two of you again."

Ji Nai was speechless. Kangxi was right. There was nothing else to talk about between her and the Grand Empress Dowager. But Ji Nai still felt a little uncomfortable. Qi Qige had just died, and the Grand Empress Dowager was using her death to make a fuss.

Were the protection and love that the Grand Empress Dowager had given her before all fake? If it was true, how could she get over the sadness so quickly and squeeze out the last value of Qiqige? Anyone in the harem could use this as an excuse, but it shouldn't be the Grand Empress Dowager.

Ji Nai asked herself that she had never been a good person. In her previous life, she had schemed against and harmed people, whether they were concubines or heirs to the throne. It can be said that Ji Nai's hands were not clean.

But Ji Nai would hurt or use anyone except his own children. They were all his treasures. How could Ji Nai bear to let his feelings go bad?

In her previous life, after Chengrui and his family died, Ji Nai could have used the pain of losing their children to arouse Kangxi's sympathy and gain his favor, just like Huifei and Defei did. But Ji Nai did not do that. This was her last insistence.

So now Ji Nai is very dissatisfied with the actions of the Empress Dowager, and feels that Qi Qige is not worth it. She finally understands why Qi Qige chose to give up his life. It is really difficult to endure such a sad and ridiculous life.

Kangxi could naturally see what Ji Nai was worried about, and sneered, "Who do you think the Grand Empress Dowager is? She started as the unpopular Concubine Zhuang during Emperor Taizong's reign, and rose all the way to become the Empress Dowager and the Grand Empress Dowager. If she were a soft-hearted person, she would have been gnawed away to the bone."

Kangxi took Ji Nai's hand and said, "You are very good like this. From now on, no matter what the Empress Dowager says to you, just listen and don't make any promises."

Ji Nai tilted her head and looked over, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know what the Empress Dowager is going to do?" If she could find out the Empress Dowager's intentions from Kangxi, she could be prepared.

"Before Borjigit left, the Empress Dowager discussed with me about sending another Mongolian noblewoman from Khorchin."

Ji Nai suddenly felt a little sick. Qi Qi Ge was still alive at that time. Were the Empress Dowager and the others so impatient? In the previous life, Khorchin did have a Concubine Xuan, but she entered the palace in the 16th year of Kangxi.

(The daughter of Prince Borjigit Heta of Horqin Darhan, and the cousin of Emperor Kangxi. After entering the palace, she was named a concubine by imperial decree. She had no children in her life, and was posthumously named Concubine Xuan.)

Why was the Empress Dowager so anxious this time that she wanted to send the next one before the person died? If Qi Qige knew about her doing this, Ji Nai would find it hard to imagine how Qi Qige felt at the end.

"I refused, saying that I didn't want Concubine Hui to be sad before her death, but I could only postpone the time for her to enter the palace. The Empress Dowager will not give up. Even if I don't want it, there will still be Khorchin women in this palace."

In fact, Kangxi could feel Ji Nai's sadness and grief for Qi Qi Ge, and he also understood that she had some complaints about burying young lives in the palace. So he wanted to explain that it was not him who caused these people to waste their time and have no hope for the rest of their lives.

Ji Nai looked at Kangxi's profile and suddenly felt that he didn't know the man in front of him. In his previous life, Kangxi had refused, but he couldn't persuade the Empress Dowager, so Concubine Xuan didn't enter the palace until seven years after Concubine Hui passed away.

Maybe he was not as cold and heartless as he thought, only caring about his own gains and losses, and didn't care whether people were sent in or not. Anyway, he was rich and could afford to support a woman. As for those women wasting their lives, Kangxi didn't care at all.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

"I thought His Majesty would not care whether Qiqige and the others entered the palace or not."

"On the one hand, it is unnecessary, and on the other hand, it is troublesome." Kangxi said it very frankly. Even if he didn't say it, Ji Nai would be able to notice it in the future. As long as people don't enter the palace, the Empress Dowager can't use these Khorchin women to do anything.

However, "on the other hand, their entry into the palace was inevitable. Only by forming a marriage relationship can they form a natural alliance of interests. In this way, the Empress Dowager and the Khorchin behind her can feel at ease."

There is nothing wrong with this mentality, but Kangxi sneered at it. If it really came to that, let alone a woman from Khorchin, who was just an unfavored concubine in the harem, even his legitimate wife would not be able to stop anything.

Ji Nai changed the subject again, "But what does it have to do with me if a noble lady from Khorchin enters the palace? Even if the Empress Dowager mentioned my friendship with her, she would not give preferential treatment to others because of it."

Even if this person is Qi Qi Ge's relative, or even if it is Qi Qi Ge herself, Ji Nai may not necessarily help her win favor just because of their friendship. So what exactly does the Empress Dowager think?

"What are you thinking? How can the Empress Dowager be so naive?" Kangxi looked at Ji Nai strangely, "But as long as you acknowledge this friendship, and the Empress Dowager asks you to take care of Qi Qi Ge's people in public, can you refuse?"

It seems that it is impossible. The key point is that this is the Queen Mother who asked, and she is talking about the dead, so I can't just refuse. And if the Queen Mother's request is just to take care of the newcomers, then I will probably agree.

"As long as you agree, the other party will have a reason to follow you often and go to Zhongcui Palace to talk to you frequently. After a while, the chance of running into me will be higher, right?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xu just wanted to say that it was shameless, but it was the truth. In this era, Kangxi was really a popular person.

Ji Nai thought deeply about it, at least the man would be familiar to Kangxi, and maybe Kangxi would soften his heart one day. But could the Empress Dowager's plan be so simple?

Suddenly, Ji Nai thought of something. The Empress Dowager had been through three dynasties and had no idea how many secret medicines she had. If after he let his guard down, Kangxi was drugged in his palace and did something with "Concubine Xuan" while he was unconscious...

Ji Nai's face suddenly darkened. No one would believe that he, the head of Zhongcui Palace, knew nothing about this matter. If the Empress Dowager continued to give him some benefits in an ambiguous way, he would definitely bear the blame.

By that time, Kangxi would only think that he had taken advantage and was doing things for the Empress Dowager. No matter how he argued, even if Kangxi proved that it was the Empress Dowager's handiwork, his trust in him would no longer exist.

Kangxi looked at Ji Nai's face. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, he was thinking about how the Empress Dowager would plot against her. He sighed deeply. This idiot was still so stupid.
