Rong Fei is not honored
Chapter 200 Kangxi Compromises
Ji Nai nodded, "I have already promised the Grand Empress Dowager that I will give this child to the Empress Dowager to raise."
The next second, Kangxi hugged Ji Nai. Ji Nai was shocked. No, what was going on? She subconsciously looked at Yuan Xu, but she only met Yuan Xu's indescribable expression.
Before Ji Nai could react, Kangxi had already let go of Ji Nai and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will go find the Empress Dowager and will not let you and your son be separated."
Seeing that the corners of Kangxi's eyes were even a little red, Ji Nai suddenly had an idea. Could it be that Kangxi thought that he was forced by the Empress Dowager and had no choice but to agree, so he was able to get away?
No, although the order is correct, she and the Empress Dowager hit it off immediately, so they can be considered accomplices!
Ji Nai quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please don't go to the Empress Dowager. I volunteered."
Unexpectedly, Kangxi looked at Ji Nai with even more pity, "How could you volunteer? I know what kind of person you are, and I also know how important the child is to you."
So the image of me in Kangxi's mind is so noble?
In fact, not just Kangxi, but almost everyone in the palace believed that Ma Jia of Zhongcui Palace was a rare and loving mother.
After all, if it were them, even if they would not abandon Chengrui directly, they would not care too much about it, and would not waste energy to keep the child.
A prince who was not qualified to inherit the throne was not worth their attention. They had already done their best to instruct the servants to take good care of him. Just like Zhang Shi, didn't she want to give up the eldest princess because she saw that the future was bleak?
So, even though some people say Ji Nai is stupid and some people slander Ji Nai for being hypocritical, they all admire her efforts on Cheng Rui.
With this kind of image, how could Ji Nai easily compromise and send her child away? She was naturally forced to do so. Therefore, even if Ji Nai explained, Kangxi felt that she said so deliberately in order to prevent him from confronting the Grand Empress Dowager directly.
Ji Nai didn't understand how things could have come to this. She first calmed Kangxi down, then explained carefully:
"Your Majesty, there are constant fights in the palace. First it was Chengrui, then Chengqing, and we don't know who will be the next. Moreover, Your Majesty also knows that there is a force of unknown origin in the palace.
I am really afraid that I will be too busy to protect the two children. But Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the world, and you are busy every day, which concerns the lives of the people. Why do you always focus on the harem?
Therefore, I decided to let the Empress Dowager raise my child. After all, with the Grand Empress Dowager around, nothing will happen to the child in Shoukang Palace.
Moreover, to be disrespectful, I can feel more at ease leaving the child to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is a kind elder and does not like to meddle in other people's affairs.
The Empress Dowager has wanted a prince for a long time. She is not in a hurry now, so she is gentle, but she is old. I am afraid that one day, she will do whatever it takes to fulfill her wish."
Kangxi understood what Ji Nai meant. The Empress Dowager did not like to interfere in government affairs and would not speak unless she had to. His legitimate mother was not like the Grand Empress Dowager. Until now, she was still thinking about making profits for Khorchin.
If the child is raised in Shoukang Palace, the possibility of being killed by the Grand Empress Dowager will be smaller. After all, the Grand Empress Dowager feels very guilty and sympathetic towards the Empress Dowager, and she always has to consider the Empress Dowager's feelings.
Moreover, as Ji Nai said, the Empress Dowager's methods are still very mild now. If one day she kills the mother and takes the son away directly, the situation will be even worse.
However, even though Kangxi understood this, he still didn't want Ji Nai to give the child away. Now there were only two princes left in the palace, and the Empress Dowager couldn't force him at this time, so Kangxi wanted to delay it first.
Until the day when he could no longer delay, he would choose another child to give to the Empress Dowager. Even then, Kangxi would not choose the child born between him and Ji Nai, because he was reluctant to do so.
However, Ji Nai was right. The situation in the palace was very dangerous now, and he had not yet found any clues about the hidden forces.
In the previous dynasty, although Kangxi had eliminated powerful ministers and gradually gained power, he did not have the final say. Between the emperor and his ministers, either the east wind prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind prevailed over the east wind. He could not relax at this time.
Then, there will be no time to clean up the harem.
Therefore, letting the Empress Dowager protect Ji Nai and his mother was indeed the safest approach.
However, Kangxi was unwilling to give up. It turned out that he was still not strong enough and could not do whatever he wanted to protect all the people he wanted to protect.
"Ji Nai, do you understand what the consequences will be if you do this?"
"Ok?"
"Since this child is raised by the Empress Dowager, he is on the side of Khorchin and is naturally close to Khorchin. The Qing Dynasty cannot have another emperor who is close to Khorchin."
"Oh." Ji Nai's reaction was very calm. Anyway, she had never thought of letting her child sit in that position.
In the previous life, Yinzhi was unwilling to give up, so she could only help him. But in this life, if they still want it, they can fight for it themselves, but Ji Nai will not intervene again. She will only serve as their retreat and save their lives.
Kangxi really didn't expect that Ji Nai would be so relaxed when facing this topic. Does she know what she has given up? Isn't she afraid that when her children grow up, they will resent her because she has lost her qualifications? This idiot.
In the end, Kangxi compromised.
It was impossible not to agree. Just as Ji Nai said, this was indeed the most advantageous approach at the moment. Moreover, Ji Nai had already agreed to the Grand Empress Dowager. If Kangxi strongly opposed it, it might cause the Grand Empress Dowager's dissatisfaction and cause her to be targeted.
Moreover, Kangxi also had his own thoughts. The child was raised by the imperial grandmother, not by a different mother. If Ji Nai and he missed the child, they could just go to Shoukang Palace to visit him.
When they are six years old, the children will be sent to Nansanso, and when they reach adulthood, they will have to get married and start a family, or get married. Thinking about it this way, it seems not unacceptable.
However, thinking of Nansanso, Kangxi looked at Chengrui. Is this child already seven years old?
It’s not that Kangxi didn’t value Chengrui. On the contrary, he had already thought about how to train this son well. However, plans could not keep up with the speed of changes. Although a miracle happened, Chengrui’s body was ultimately ruined by the poison.
From then on, Kangxi was more concerned about whether he could keep the child, not only because he was his beloved eldest son, but also because Kangxi knew that if Chengrui was gone, Ji Nai would probably be ruined.
