Rong Fei is not honored

For the Queen, it would be fine if the Grand Empress Dowager just heard about her performance that day and wanted to teach her a lesson. After all, the Grand Empress Dowager had always been dissatisfied with her.

The most important thing is that His Majesty is a filial son, and he will not refuse once the Empress Dowager asks him to do something. This also means that His Majesty still has some tenderness for the Empress in his heart.

It wasn't that the Queen was in love and still yearned for Kangxi's love at this time. It was that she found that in the harem, without the Emperor's partiality, it was simply impossible to move forward, even if she was in a high position.

It was that day that Kangxi's attitude of letting her go rekindled the queen's hope.

The queen tried to send Kangxi a signal of peace, either by sending some soup to the Qianqing Palace or by inviting Kangxi to the Kunning Palace under the pretext of Chenghu. To Kangxi's delight, he really accepted it.

However, the Queen's actions made Hui Shufei and others laugh. The Queen had previously claimed to be the legitimate wife of the Central Palace and had never bothered to compete for favor with the concubines. But now, is it because the power of the palace has been divided, so she can't sit still anymore?

The Queen tried to rebuild her relationship with Kangxi while waiting for the ten-day period to pass, but in the end it did not happen.

With only a few days left before the deadline, news came from the Zhongcui Palace that Ma Jia was already one month pregnant. This news caught everyone off guard, especially Kangxi and the Queen.

When Kangxi hurried to Zhongcui Palace, he saw Ji Nai stroking her belly with one hand, holding Chengrui with the other, and accepting congratulations from the palace people around her.

Kangxi stepped forward and took Ji Nai's hand, his eyes sparkling. "We have another child?"

"Well, the doctor said it's been more than a month."

Seeing that Kangxi wanted to say something else, Ji Nai interrupted him and signaled Kangxi not to ignore Chengrui. "Your Majesty, you and Chengrui have known each other longer and have a deeper relationship. You can't get tired of the old and fall in love with the new."

Kangxi pinched Ji Nai's cheek with amusement, "What do you mean by liking the new and getting tired of the old? Can you speak? It seems that I have to urge you to pick up your studies again."

Since Ji Nai became pregnant with Cheng Rui, she stopped studying because of severe pregnancy reactions. She never resumed studying after that, but she continued to practice calligraphy.

After hearing Kangxi's words, Ji Nai's face changed immediately. It was not because she was lazy and did not want to make progress, nor was it because Ji Nai did not know the benefits of learning. It was because for someone like her who was not smart, learning was really a painful thing.

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant and my memory is not good, so let's forget it."

"How can I forget about it? I think you are very capable. You can even scheme against me. How can studying be so difficult?"

Damn it, Kangxi finally realized that Ji Nai had known that she was pregnant. In order to avoid being held accountable by the petty man, Ji Nai poked Cheng Rui in the back, wanting to ask Cheng Rui to come to the rescue.

Chengrui sighed. He knew at a glance that it was his mother who had offended his father again. In order to protect his parents' feelings, Chengrui could only sacrifice himself.

Chengrui came forward and hugged Kangxi's neck, saying in a baby voice: "Father, why are you ignoring Chengrui? You always hugged Chengrui first before."

Kangxi picked up Chengrui and weighed him in his hand. After feeling the light weight, he hugged him tighter. "How could Father ignore Chengrui? Father was just too angry with your mother, so I didn't pay attention to you at the first time."

Seeing that Ama still hadn't forgotten about being angry, Chengrui just threw it all out, imitating the way his mother had acted before when she was being naughty to Ama, crying and shouting, "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen. Ama only sees new people laughing, but doesn't see old people crying."

Chengrui waited for a while and found that his father did not respond. He secretly opened his eyes and looked at his father, and saw that his father's face turned black. He looked at his mother again, but she lowered her head and tried her best to shrink back.

"Father? Mother?"

Chengrui asked in confusion, what happened?

Kangxi suppressed his anger and touched Chengrui's head. "It's okay. It's none of Chengrui's business. Chengrui should go out with the wet nurse first and let Father and Mother talk to him. Okay?" Kangxi emphasized the word "talk to him".

"No quarrel?"

"No quarrel."

Ji Nai looked at Chengrui's departing back, tears welling up in his eyes. This kid was such a jeer.

When Kangxi and Chengrui were the only ones left in the palace, Ji Nai knew he could not escape, so he had to take the initiative, "Your Majesty, how could you do this? The child hasn't even been born yet, and you're already showing partiality."

Under Kangxi's gaze, Ji Nai's voice gradually disappeared. Kangxi now looked really scary. Ji Nai stopped being stubborn and quickly slid down to her knees and said, "I was wrong."

"Ah."

"I shouldn't have hidden my pregnancy from you, but I really don't know how to explain it. When the imperial physician felt my pulse last month, he couldn't see anything because the pregnancy was too mild."

"Since the imperial physician couldn't tell, how can you be so sure?" Yes, she was sure. If Ji Nai hadn't been sure that she was pregnant, she wouldn't have used this matter to plot against the queen.

"If I say this is a feeling, will you believe it?"

Seeing Kangxi's "what do you think" expression, Ji Nai knew that he didn't believe it. "Well, it's just that I had a dream about pregnancy, and then I felt strange in my body, just like when I was pregnant with Chengrui."

"Just because of this, you dare to guarantee to me that your reasons are absolutely justified?" Kangxi looked incredulous.

"My feelings are very accurate. I knew you wouldn't believe it, so I didn't tell you."

Kangxi chuckled twice, "If you really told me, I would never let you take such a risk."

Kangxi was a little worried. He had not expected that Ji Nai would become so bold and reckless in order to deal with the queen. He did not blame Ji Nai for hating the queen, but was worried that something might happen to him in the future.

Kangxi knew that even if he warned Ji Nai not to act like this again in the future, he would not listen. He immediately decided to keep a closer eye on Ji Nai from today on.

So Kangxi didn't dwell on it any more and continued to ask, "What else?"

"What?" Ji Nai didn't react.

"Where else did you go wrong?"

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Chengrui? I swear to God, I have never taught Chengrui this way. I guess, I guess..."

"Estimated what?"

"I guess Chengrui saw it last time." Ji Nai's face turned red before he could utter this sentence.

Kangxi was a little stunned, "Which time?"

"That time, Chengrui was taking a nap in my bedroom, and then His Majesty came... Then, I forgot that Chengrui was also here... Then, you..."

Kangxi covered Ji Nai's mouth with his hand and said, "Stop talking." He also remembered that time and blushed. It is really embarrassing for parents to be caught by their children being intimate.
