Rong Fei is not honored

"Quack?" Chengrui accidentally made a duck-like sound and his face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

In order not to hurt their child's self-esteem, the young parents tried their best to hold back their laughter. After a long while, Ji Nai finally spoke up and said, "Just like Cheng Rui, you are not really terminally ill, right?"

Chengrui understood that now as long as he went out, everyone would stay away from him.

At first Chengrui was sad that he was being disliked, but later he realized that they thought he would die soon and were afraid to get close to him. If something happened, they would be implicated.

"But why?"

“When you are weak, pretend to be strong; when you are strong, pretend to be weak. This is also a means of self-protection, in order to confuse the enemy and make him unclear about your true state.

First of all, Chengrui, you are not a burden. Even if this is true, it is your mother's love. You don't need to feel burdened by it. Secondly, although your mother often uses you as an excuse, it does not mean that she is really dragged down by you. "

"It's just an excuse. Then why doesn't mother want the power in the palace?" Chengrui looked at Ji Nai with a curious gaze.

Ji Nai sighed in her heart. Should she say, he is indeed the son of Kangxi, the prince of the royal family? Even though he is still so young, he already knows the benefits of power.

Ji Nai pretended to be indifferent and said, "Because my mother is lazy."

"What's the reason?" Chengrui pouted in dissatisfaction. He felt that his mother was treating him perfunctorily.

"Why not?" Ji Nai said solemnly: "For mother, palace power is not important. What is important is that your children are safe and healthy."

Noticing Kangxi's burning gaze, Ji Nai added, "Of course, there's also you, Father. You two are the most important people to me. As long as we are together as a family, I am already satisfied."

"But..." What my mother said was right, he felt the same way, but palace power was also a good thing, couldn't he have it all?

"No buts, Chengrui, do you know who is the most miserable person in the world? It's the emperor. He gets up earlier than a chicken, sleeps later than a dog, works harder than an ox, and has a darker reputation than a crow."

Chengrui secretly glanced at his father who had a dark face. His father looked so ugly. Could it be that what his mother said was true?

Ji Nai ignored Kangxi's gloomy gaze. She was just coaxing the child, why was she making trouble?

"If a disaster happens, you will have to issue an edict of remorse. How tragic. And you are still young. You don't know that some disasters seem to be natural disasters, but they are actually man-made. But there are always some ignorant people who still think that it is the emperor's immorality and the punishment from heaven."

Ji Nai, who had traveled to the future, naturally knew that these were all nonsense, so when he talked about it at this moment, his voice was very powerful, which made Chengrui stunned, and even Kangxi fell into deep thought.

"If there really was a punishment from heaven, the people would not be in such dire straits. As long as the monarch fails in his duties, he will be punished. Who would dare to be so stupid and violent?"

"Cough cough."

Although Kangxi agreed with her, he thought Ji Nai had said too much and it would be bad if it got out, so he reminded her.

Ji Nai got the hint and quickly shut up, swallowing the rest of his words, and changed his words: "So, you should do your job well. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Mother doesn't want to take on such a heavy burden, she just wants to take good care of our little family."

"No matter what, it's just that you're lazy," Kangxi teased.

Ji Nai found that she wanted to roll her eyes at Kangxi more and more recently. It was definitely not because she forgot his status as an emperor, but because Kangxi owed her too much.

This interaction between the two finally put Chengrui's mind at ease. He believed that his mother really didn't want to take care of the palace affairs, and was not trying to comfort him deliberately.

"So, mother is not out of energy, so why did she send my brother away?"

Okay, the question is back again.

Ji Nai thought for a moment, and then explained: "This issue is very complicated. It is driven by the environment, human involvement, and it is also for the safety of you and Saiyin Chahun.

But you are still young, you just need to know that this matter was decided after careful consideration by your father and mother. Moreover, Saiyin Chahun is still your brother in Shoukang Palace, and the Queen Mother is kind and will not stop you and your mother from visiting him often. "

Although Chengrui still had some doubts, after hearing Ji Nai's last few words, he said happily: "So, my brother is still my brother." Even though he was still young, he knew that although other children born to the legitimate mother or concubine's mother were also brothers and sisters, they were different after all.

"Yes, my brother is still my brother, he just lives farther away." Kangxi assured. | "Our Chengrui is a good brother, he will definitely not mind the trouble, right?"

"Of course!" Cheng Rui immediately patted his chest. "Don't worry, if mother doesn't want to go out, Cheng Rui is willing to do it for her and will definitely visit my brother every day."

Obviously, Chengrui also knew that Ji Nai didn't like to go out.

"Haha, actually you don't have to go there every day." Otherwise, no matter how good-tempered the Queen Mother is, she will feel annoyed.

"No, this is a good idea. It will only make the Empress Dowager happier." Finally, Kangxi made the final decision.

Today's happy event in Zhongcui Palace did not make many people happy. Most of them were envious and jealous. There were even some bold ones who hid in the palace and secretly cursed Ji Nai and his mother.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, several concubines were punished for unknown reasons.

In fact, it is not inexplicable. After all, everything in the palace has a reason, but they just don't understand it. Many people speculate that maybe something happened in the palace again, so they should hide a little recently to avoid being involved.

Even Kanxia hadn't expected that her act of venting her son's anger would actually make the harem peaceful for a while. This was considered an unexpected surprise.

Before the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the wives of the nobles from various families came to the palace to pay homage one after another, first to the Cining Palace and then to the Kunning Palace. Thanks to this, the empress, who had been under house arrest for a long time, was finally pardoned.

However, even if the queen is still the queen, the turmoil in the palace has already spread outside the palace. Such a queen who has lost the emperor's favor and has a bad reputation is extremely despised by everyone, and it is impossible for them to truly submit to her.

Therefore, before the dinner, all the ladies who had some confidence would linger in the Cining Palace, flattering the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

In the past, they were all thankful that at times like this, the Empress Dowager would basically stay by the side of the Grand Empress Dowager, saving them the trouble of running to Shoukang Palace in the wind and snow.

But now, they wish they could do so, at least they could kill more time. Sitting in the Cining Palace for too long would not only be embarrassing, but also leave obvious traces, making it easy for others to find fault with them.

After all, not everyone can have a close relationship with the Grand Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager and chat with them enthusiastically.

The people in Hesheli's family looked very unhappy. Who could not see their little thoughts?

In the past, before the queen lost power, these people were very attentive, but now they act like this, which is really chilling. However, it is also because the queen of their family is too disappointing.

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel resentful and looked at Gabula's wife, the empress's biological mother. The eldest house took all the benefits, but ended up making a big mistake and implicated others. It was really...

Feeling the strange looks from everyone, especially the resentment from her sisters-in-law, the Queen's mother could only force herself to straighten her back. She seemed calm, but in fact, her back had already been wet with sweat.

Not until she could no longer bear it did she surrender to her mother-in-law and looked at the old lady pleadingly.

In fact, the old lady didn't really want to give up. After all, they were all members of the Hesheli family. They would prosper together and suffer together. But Soetu was right. This time, the people of the eldest house must be subdued and they must not be allowed to act on their own again.

Otherwise, with the Queen's confused temper, she would sooner or later drag the Hesheli family into the abyss.

The old lady bowed to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager and took her leave. The Grand Empress Dowager naturally knew her relationship with the Empress, so she did not keep her for long and let her go.

When the old lady brought the women of Hesheli's family to Kunning Palace, they saw that the Kunning Palace, which was prosperous last year, was now very deserted, with only a few wives of minor officials there.

Although the family background of an official's wife who was qualified to enter the palace could not be too low, how could the Hesheli family, as an in-law, take her seriously?

When the queen saw her own mama and mother, her eyes immediately turned red. The other women naturally did not dare to stay any longer and left tactfully.
