Rong Fei is not honored

"Amma!"

Kangxi thought he had misheard, but he saw a little head poking out from the cloak held by the palace servant beside Ji Nai. At this moment, the scene in front of him overlapped with his memory from many years ago, and Kangxi felt as if nothing had changed.

But everything is different now. Chengrui has grown up, and Ji Nai has their second child. He has gradually gained control of the power and is full of vigor and vitality.

Just like he did in the past, Kangxi held Chengrui in his arms and held Ji Nai's hand as they walked into the Qianqing Palace together.

Nanny Li behind them looked at the backs of the family of three, no, four, and her mouth curled up unconsciously. Even Yuan Xu, who always thought Ji Nai was in love, felt that the scene in front of her was very warm at this moment.

Yuan Xu had the illusion that Kangxi was indeed a good husband. However, the women in the harem soon woke Yuan Xu up. She still felt that Kangxi was a scumbag and was not worthy of such a good Ji Nai.

While Kangxi untied Chengrui's cloak, revealing Chengrui who was wrapped like a ball, he asked Ji Nai, "Why are you here today?" You know, Ji Nai seldom came to the Qianqing Palace, but other people came from time to time to bring some soup and water.

It was just that Kangxi always kept things and sent people back, even Hui Shufei, who was made into Kangxi's favorite concubine, was no exception. On the contrary, the queen came in last time, but that experience was not very pleasant.

For Kangxi, the Qianqing Palace was where he handled state affairs and occasionally summoned ministers. What would it look like if he allowed the women in his harem to come and go frequently?

However, when he arrived at Jinai's place, Kangxi did not think about this at all. The only negative emotion he felt was worry.

"I am here to apologize to His Majesty."

Kangxi paused for a few seconds and looked up at Ji Nai, who had a serious expression on his face.

Ji Nai continued, "These days, it was my fault. I have neglected you and Cheng Rui."

Kangxi did notice Ji Nai's recent inattention, but he thought that perhaps it was because Ji Nai was not energetic enough during her pregnancy, and she had to take care of Chengrui and help manage palace affairs.

Therefore, Kangxi felt a little disappointed, but did not take it to heart. He just did not expect that Ji Nai would react so quickly and make a special trip to apologize to him solemnly.

"I've been so busy lately that I haven't paid attention to this. Why do I need you to make a special trip? I'm not a petty person."

Ji Nai's mouth twitched. If Kangxi was not such a petty person, then the world would be full of tolerant and generous living Bodhisattvas. Besides, when he said this, could he please take away the smile in his eyes?

Under normal circumstances, Ji Nai would have to look at his mood before deciding whether to satisfy Kangxi's arrogance, but today Ji Nai came here specifically to apologize. Moreover, Ji Nai actually felt a little guilty about the matter of Saiyin Chahun.

So she said, "Your Majesty is not a stingy person, but I feel so guilty that I just want to see you as soon as possible and ask for your forgiveness."

"There's no need for Zhao to do this."

"Yes, yes. Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never do it again and will always put Your Majesty first."

Kangxi naturally knew that Ji Nai was trying to coax him, but the words were so nice that they made Kangxi very happy. What's more, Ji Nai's promise was what he had been expecting.

"Well, then you must remember what you said, otherwise you will be deceiving the emperor." Kangxi did not intend to threaten Ji Nai, he just hoped that Ji Nai could remember what he said today and not let him gain and then lose.

"Yes." Ji Nai answered very sincerely, and then confessed with a guilty conscience: "In fact, the Grand Empress Dowager did not let me off so easily yesterday. She seemed very dissatisfied with my suggestion to let the Empress Dowager raise the third princess."

Kangxi had known that the Empress Dowager was unhappy about this matter. After all, she had never concealed her feelings. Having already raised a child, the Empress Dowager's chances of having another prince were even smaller.

However, Kangxi did not expect that the Empress Dowager would really vent her anger on Ji Nai because she knew that this matter had little to do with Ji Nai. On the surface, Kangxi accepted Ji Nai's suggestion, but in fact, Ji Nai just predicted his plan.

What's more, Ji Nai is about to give birth in a month or two. She summoned Ji Nai at this time because of that incident, and then made things difficult for her after testing Ji Nai. It was really hateful. Wasn't she afraid that Ji Nai would be really scared to death?

Kangxi held Ji Nai's hand tightly and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"The Empress Dowager quickly let me go."

Kangxi looked at Ji Nai in a daze. He knew very well what kind of personality the Empress Dowager had, so how could she let Ji Nai go so easily, unless Ji Nai did something to satisfy her.

Ji Nai felt guilty and did not dare to look Kangxi in the eye. Well, she was indeed wrong in this matter. Not to mention that Kangxi was an emperor, deciding the child's fate without his permission showed that she did not take Kangxi seriously.

Not to mention, Kangxi was the child's father and had been looking forward to the birth of the child. Ji Nai suddenly felt a little reluctant. Was she too impulsive yesterday? She should have discussed it with Kangxi in advance.

However, yesterday was indeed a great opportunity. You know, unless she went to pay a visit, it would be almost impossible for her to meet the Empress Dowager. If she went to visit alone, it might arouse suspicion among the people in the harem.

By then, even if it was just to prevent Ji Nai from having a relationship with the Empress Dowager, they would do everything they could to sabotage this matter, and the best way would be to attack the child in Ji Nai's belly.

Even if the Empress Dowager would definitely send someone to protect the child, it would be very troublesome, so why bother making things complicated? The Empress Dowager summoned me, so it was just the right opportunity to make a deal.

Moreover, it would be best if this deal was agreed upon with the Grand Empress Dowager before the child was born. Otherwise, after the child was born, if the Grand Empress Dowager had already made a move, the effect would naturally not be as good as it is now.

So, yesterday's opportunity was perfect, except that Kangxi was not informed in advance.

Kangxi gently placed his hand on Ji Nai's belly, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "Is it him?" Kangxi looked up at Ji Nai, "It was because of him that the Empress Dowager let it go."

That's indeed true. If Ji Nai hadn't mentioned the deal on his own initiative, even the Empress Dowager would not have gone too far for the sake of the crown prince, nor would she have let Ji Nai go so quickly. There are so many ways to make things difficult for people in this palace.

But Ji Nai felt something was strange.

However, before Ji Nai could figure it out, Kangxi asked again, "Is it him?"
