Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 223 The Queen Mother's Kindness

The mother and her two children slowly walked towards Shoukang Palace.

Sensing Chengrui's depression, Ji Nai suggested: "If Chengrui is worried about Saiyin Chahun, why don't he stay in Shoukang Palace for one night?"

Chengrui was a little conflicted. He didn't want to leave his brother, but he also didn't want to leave his mother.

"Mother, can't we wait a few more days? Father hasn't spoken yet, and the old ancestor hasn't said anything."

"The matter has been decided, why delay it any longer? It will only make those who are reluctant to let go even more reluctant. Adding a few more days will not make things perfect."

She had never been optimistic or fantasizing about a miracle, so she naturally didn't care about these few days. Anyway, she had already made up her mind that from tomorrow on, she would report to Shoukang Palace every day.

"Besides, Chengrui is already grown up. He will move to the prince's residence next year at the latest. Even if Saiyin Chahun stays in Zhongcui Palace, you won't be able to stay with your brother forever."

Chengrui's body stiffened. Well, he had completely forgotten about this matter. However, now that my mother mentioned it, did she intend to put this matter on the agenda? He thought it would take a few more years.

Suddenly, Chengrui realized that no matter whether his younger brother was with his mother or raised by his grandmother, he could not always be with his younger brother.

But when Saiyin Chahun turns six, things will be different. The two brothers can live together in the prince's residence. Thinking of this, Chengrui's low pressure was swept away and he began to look forward to it.

However, Chengrui still had a question, "Mother, why don't we wait for Father?"

"Your father is probably more reluctant to part with Saiyin Chahun than your mother. If he regrets it under impulse..." Seeing Chengrui's eyes light up instantly, Ji Nai poured a basin of cold water on him, "Neither the Grand Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager will be happy."

Well, Chengrui also knew that if the grandfather and the royal grandmother were unhappy, then my mother’s life would be very difficult in the future.

In fact, there is another reason. Kangxi is becoming more and more worldly now. She is really afraid that he will lose control and lose his composure. If the Empress Dowager hears this, it will not only be Kangxi's tears of pity for his son, but also her own death warrant.

Therefore, she specifically chose the time when Kangxi was attending his early morning court session to execute the act first and report later.

However, she was also prepared to face Kangxi's wrath and only hoped that she could hold on.

When they arrived at Shoukang Palace, the empress dowager was not only surprised but also very happy to see Ji Nai and his mother. However, she was happy, and she understood Ji Nai's feelings, so she restrained herself and did not take Saiyin Chahun away directly, after all, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The Queen Mother took Chengrui's hand and asked Ji Nai to follow, and took them to the room she had carefully prepared for Saiyin Chahun. Ji Nai observed it carefully, and every detail was meticulous, which showed that the Queen Mother had put in a lot of effort.

"Since the Queen Mother brought me here, I think you really want me to not worry, so I didn't pretend. After taking a closer look, I found nothing wrong with me. This shows how much you love Saiyin Chahun."

Originally, the maid beside the Empress Dowager was a little dissatisfied. She thought that Concubine Rong was too unruly. When the master brought her to see the little prince's room, not only did she not thank him at first, she actually started to check it.

It was not until Concubine Rong spoke that the nanny was satisfied. Indeed, their master had put a lot of thought into this room.

In fact, the Empress Dowager did this purely out of guilt. She felt sorry for Ma Jia being separated from her child, and she knew that she was the culprit, but she could not refuse the order of the Grand Empress Dowager.

Not only because he was her only relative in the palace, but he was also planning for her. If she refused, she would be too heartless.

It was because she was really lonely. She also wanted Shoukang Palace to have more noise so that she could feel more comforted.

So, the Queen Mother accepted it, suppressing her shame and condemnation of her conscience.

But because of her guilt towards Ji Nai, she tried her best to prove to the child's mother that she would treat Sai Yin Cha Hun well. Similarly, she would not stop Ji Nai and Sai Yin Cha Hun from getting close.

She hoped that her Saixincha would be well and would never cause discord between his mother and son or estrangement between his brothers.

Ji Nai accepted the kindness and told the Empress Dowager her plan with a smile. After all, her behavior was unruly. In the palace, there was no precedent like Ji Nai in handing over children to others for raising.

We have to report it, and it would be best if we could get the Empress Dowager's permission, so that we wouldn't give others any handle against us.

The Empress Dowager naturally agreed. She even happily asked Ji Nai whether Chengrui would go with them. After getting a positive answer, she became even happier and laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appeared.

The nanny beside the Empress Dowager was a little unhappy, but Ji Nai didn't care. The Empress Dowager was not Qiqige who had just entered the palace and couldn't even control the people around her.

Holding back the pain in his heart, Ji Nai took the initiative to ask, "Does the Queen Mother want to hug Saiyin Chahun?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up. She had long wanted to hug Saiyinchahun and get closer to him, but since Ji Nai didn't say anything, she didn't mention it. Anyway, there was plenty of time after the others left.

With her status, speaking is equivalent to an order. Since it doesn't matter a moment, why hurt a mother's heart. If it were me, I would definitely be reluctant to do so. Put yourself in her shoes.

Ji Nai naturally noticed the change in the Empress Dowager's eyes and found it a little funny. Although he knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely treat Saiyinchahun well, it was not until this moment that Ji Nai could completely put his mind at ease.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother really liked Saiyin Chahun, and she did not treat him as a funny toy just for the purpose of retirement or to relieve boredom.

It is also because of this that Ji Nai does not have to worry that the Empress Dowager will not mind her closeness with Saiyin Chahun.

Perhaps sensing something was wrong, Saiyinchahun moved uneasily when he first arrived in the empress dowager's arms. Seeing this, Ji Nai hurriedly patted the swaddling clothes, and the familiar smell calmed Saiyinchahun down.

Ji Nai was reluctant to leave for the time being, so he shamelessly sat beside the Empress Dowager, looking at Saiyinchahun's face while chatting with the Empress Dowager about family matters, mostly talking about Saiyinchahun and Chengrui. The Empress Dowager was indeed interested.

The two adults were talking animatedly, but Chengrui was silent for the first time.

In the past, he liked the Royal Grandmother very much because he could feel her kindness and knew that she loved him sincerely. Such pure emotion made Chengrui very happy to be close to the Royal Grandmother.

However, even if this was wrong, Chengrui silently decided in his heart that he would no longer like the Royal Grandmother, so today Chengrui was no longer as lively as usual to please his elders.

He just stood quietly by the side, holding his brother's hand, cherishing the time he spent with Saiyin Chahun. When he got tired of standing, he leaned on his mother, and refused to leave.

After Kangxi left the court, he hurried to Shoukang Palace and saw the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren sitting together.

Kangxi was both angry and hurt. He was angry that Ji Nai had made the decision on his own. She had clearly not said anything last night and was calm as usual this morning. However, he learned the news just after leaving court.

What hurt him most was that he couldn't bear to give up Saiyinchahun. Kangxi had high expectations for this child before he was born. Originally, these were all given to Chengrui, but with his current physical condition, Kangxi couldn't bear to give him up.

Kangxi didn't want Chengrui to have a hard time because of his selfishness, so after Chengrui was poisoned, he quickly adjusted his mind. He would protect Chengrui and let him be a rich and idle man, hoping that he would live a long and worry-free life.

Originally, Kangxi thought he would have regrets, but he never expected that Ji Nai would give him a big surprise. Their second son, Chengrui's younger brother, was born so soon.

Kangxi thought about making up for his regrets on Saiyinchahun. Besides, Kangxi had another consideration that brothers from the same mother would always be closer. When he was gone, Chengrui would not be treated badly with Saiyinchahun protecting him.

However, as an emperor, he could not express these thoughts out loud. Even if he revealed the slightest intention, it would cause an uproar. Moreover, he was not sure whether Ji Nai would continue to behave the same after knowing it.

As a result, the Cining Palace offered his child before the child he had been expecting was born. He did not blame Ji Nai for agreeing, because he knew that Ji Nai actually had no choice at all.

But Kangxi was unwilling to accept this. Since he had purged Oboi's followers, few things could go against his will. But the Queen and the Empress Dowager were like this. How could Kangxi, who was supposed to control absolute power, accept this?
