Rong Fei is not honored

"Concubine Hui is pregnant again."

"Ah."

"Will this baby be born safely?"

"If you're asking about the previous life, yes. This child is the eldest prince Yinzhi in the previous life's battle for the throne, the child used by his biological father as a whetstone for his younger brother. If you're asking about this time, I guess there's a 50% chance."

"Aren't the successors of Yinzhi Crown Prince Yinreng and Yinzhi? You..."

Ji Nai knew what Yuan Xu had not said. What she wanted to ask about was her Changhua and Changsheng. However, the children were the biggest pain in her heart, so Yuan Xu was cautious and did not dare to mention it easily.

Ji Nai understood Yuan Xu's intentions and felt warm in his heart, "It's not uncommon for children who haven't been ranked since Yinzhi."

"But didn't Defei's son Yinzuo also die young? And there's also Yifei's eleventh prince Yinzhen and Mifei's eighteenth prince Yinxuan."

Ji Nai was stunned for a moment, looked at Yuan Xu, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't you want to ignore me?"

"I'm talking to you about serious matters!" Yuan Xu reminded with a serious face.

Ji Nai really didn't want to discuss this issue with Yuan Xu, but seeing the other party's serious attitude, Ji Nai couldn't change the subject.

Ji Nai sighed, "What's the big deal? Wanfu and Yinzhen of the Nara clan, and Yin of the noble lady Guo Luoluo, also have no rank order."

"How can it be the same!"

"How is it different? I am indeed one of the four concubines, but I am not as favored as Concubine De and Concubine Yi, who are also among the four concubines, and I am even less favored than the later favorite concubine Wang. In this palace, there is a saying that mothers are honored by their sons, and sons are honored by their mothers."

Yuan Xu looked at Ji Nai's calm expression and felt inexplicably upset.

Blinking away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, he raised his voice and said cheerfully, "So that heartless man got his comeuppance. He has to watch his sons fight to the death in his later years. This is all retribution, he deserves it!"

Yuan Xu suddenly felt that men were very unreliable. Even though Kangxi now cared about Ji Nai, as an emperor, he attracted many women. One day, he might be dazzled by the world and forget about Ji Nai.

As the imperial concubine, Ji Nai had children and status, but in the end, she was still helpless and could not even control her own life. Therefore, only power could protect herself, but it was a pity that Ji Nai's goal was not that position.

But it doesn't matter, you can take it slow. Kangxi lives such a long life anyway, and coming to the fore too early will only arouse Kangxi's suspicion, just like the Crown Prince Yinreng in history.

Finally, Yuan Xu asked the question, "The Ji Nai I know is a mother who loves her children very much, but how can you bear to give Saiyin Chahun to someone else? If you want, there must be a way to keep him."

“Yes, if I want, there is indeed a way to keep Saiyin Chahun, but I can’t guarantee that he will be safe, just like Chengrui.

Even if I were to start over again, even if I had the cheats left by the system, I still couldn't protect my child from the harem's infighting. Yuan Xu, I can't guarantee that my child will be safe, but the Empress Dowager can."

"Chengrui was just an accident! Besides, he was the eldest son, so the queen would definitely not tolerate him. But Saiyin Chahun is different."

“The Queen will not let Saiyin Chahun go either. Because of Chengrui’s matter, the Queen and I have become sworn enemies. How could she allow me to have a healthy prince and thus expand my power?

Besides, have you forgotten that Chenghu is weak and might die one day like in his previous life? If that happens, all the children in the palace will be in great danger. I don't have the confidence to protect the two children from the mad queen.

Chengrui's physical condition may reduce the queen's hostility, but the healthy Saiyinchahun may not be the case. If the two children stay together, they may be affected by each other."

"Anyway, you are determined to send Saiyinchahun away, right?" Yuan Xu's voice was filled with grievance and sadness. She understood the truth of what Ji Nai said, but emotionally it was another matter.

Ji Nai softened his tone, "Yuan Xu, shouldn't I be sad to send my own child away? But in order to prevent Cheng Rui's tragedy from happening again, I must make this decision."

"Can the Queen Mother protect Saiyin Chahun?"

"If it's the Grand Empress Dowager, it will definitely work." Ji Nai said firmly. Even though the Grand Empress Dowager was already old, she still didn't dare to underestimate her, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of provoking Tong Jia and the Grand Empress Dowager to confront each other.

"Then can we, can we let Saiyin Chahun stay in Zhongcui Palace and find a way to let the Empress Dowager protect him? It must be possible, right? He is also her great-grandson."

Ji Nai was silent.

Faced with Ji Nai's silence, Yuan Xu felt anxious.

"Yuan Xu, things are not as simple as you think. When Chengrui was the only prince in the palace, the Empress Dowager did send people to protect Chengrui. But later she withdrew the people. Why do you think that was?"

When the people from the Cining Palace withdrew, Ji Nai received the news. At that time, the Queen of Kunning Palace gave birth to Chenghu. So... Yuan Xu closed his eyes and said in a dry voice: "That is her grandson."

Both of them knew that if the Empress Dowager's men had not withdrawn, the Queen's conspiracy would have been difficult to succeed.

"So what? Aren't those children who died before they were born her grandchildren? Aren't the little princess who was treated coldly by Zhang her grandchild? Qiqige, isn't she the niece of the Empress Dowager?

Why do you think the Empress Dowager would protect her just because of blood relationship? Maybe the Empress Dowager would feel pity and sympathy, but she would never take the initiative to expose her power in the palace.

Kangxi not only did not want the Grand Empress Dowager to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but he also kept his guard against the harem. How could a person like the Grand Empress Dowager arouse the emperor's vigilance and suspicion just because of her great-grandson who was two generations apart? "

When Ji Nai said this, she was very emotional, because she remembered her past life and the cause of Saiyin Chahun's death. Ji Nai's heart was bleeding with hatred.

There were many mortal enemies of Ji Nai in the palace, and the Empress and the Grand Empress Dowager were definitely ranked first and second. If the Empress was the executioner, then the Grand Empress Dowager was the indifferent spectator.

Just because she was unwilling to hand Saiyinchahun over to the other party to raise, the Empress Dowager ignored the fact that the Queen took action against the child just to teach her a lesson.

Even afterwards, the Empress Dowager still revealed the matter to me with a haughty attitude, just to reserve the next prince, without any fear that I would resent her.

But at that time, Ji Nai really couldn't feel resentment, because she didn't dare. In order to protect her other children, Ji Nai also thought about it and would willingly offer her own children with both hands, just for their safety.
