Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 23: To establish Tong Jia clan

Humph, since Tong Jia came upon me herself, don't blame me for dragging her into this.

Suddenly, a rumor spread in the court, and the ministers were shocked and extremely unwilling. That day, Oboi directly reprimanded Kangxi in court, accusing him of only caring about personal feelings and ignoring the Qing Dynasty.

Even though the current situation was driven by Kangxi, it was still embarrassing to be scolded like this. "What do you mean, Ao Zhongtang? Have I ever done anything that is detrimental to the Qing Dynasty?"

Seeing that Kangxi refused to admit it, Oboi became even more angry: "Doesn't the emperor want to enthrone Tong Jia as the queen?"

The court officials all looked at him sideways. The rumors had been spreading like wildfire in the past two days, and they also wanted to know whether this matter was true or not. Kangxi pretended to be angry and said, "If you really want to marry your uncle's cousin, so what? How can this matter endanger the country?"

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei below were overwhelmed by the huge surprise.

"The emperor wants to make a lowly girl his empress. Since she cannot be a mother to the country, how can she not shake the country?"

"Aobai, you are so outrageous!" Kangxi knew that Oboi would object, but he never thought he would be so bold as to insult his own mother.

The other court officials did not expect Oboi to say such words. They were so scared that they knelt down and dared not speak again. For a moment, the hall was silent. Even Tong Jia, who was insulted, did not dare to make a sound at this time.

Oboi then realized that he had said the wrong thing. The emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaokangzhang, was also from the Tonggiya clan, but he was not afraid of the angry Kangxi at all.

"I have not said anything wrong about Empress Xiaokangzhang, but it is true that Tong Jia's family background is too low. The Qing Dynasty is a Manchu Qing Dynasty, so how could there be a Han Chinese empress?"

"The Tonggiya clan is a member of the Han army's Zhenglan Banner. They are actually Han people in the banner, so they are not considered..."

Oboi was impatient to listen to Kangxi's explanation and interrupted him directly, saying, "There are so many Manchu noble ladies, the emperor should choose from them."

Kangxi wanted to quit, but his strong willpower made him hold back and continue to act, "Ao Zhongtang is not talking about your daughter from the Guaerjia clan, is he?"

Oboi heard Kangxi's sarcasm, but he didn't care. Instead, he said proudly: "My daughter is the pearl of the Guarjia family. Naturally, she is extremely noble. It's a pity that she is only two years old this year and is not a good match for the emperor."

Although Aobai said that they were not a good match, it was clear that Kangxi was not worthy of his daughter. Everyone was frightened. "I am talking about the daughter of Lord Ebilun."

Kangxi's heart sank. After today, Ebilun would definitely become closer to Oboi.

"But I still think that Tong Jia's daughter is more suitable to be the queen. At least I can sleep peacefully." This was almost a statement that Kangxi was afraid that he would be assassinated by Nianhulu.

Until this moment Sony still said nothing. Knowing that the old fox would not express his opinion today, Kangxi withdrew from the morning court on the grounds that he still needed to discuss with the Empress Dowager.

After leaving the court, Kangxi went straight to the Cining Palace and told the Empress Dowager about Sony's behavior. The Empress Dowager consoled him, "Sony is not necessarily unmoved, but is just waiting and watching. Your Majesty just needs to wait patiently. Just wait for him to make the first move, which means he is willing to support your Majesty."

Now, his plan has been progressing in an orderly manner, and everyone's reactions are within his expectations. Coupled with the comfort of the Empress Dowager, Kangxi feels at ease and no longer has the anxiety he had before.

The sense of urgency that had been pushing him forward faded away from Kangxi, and he became more at ease, as if everything in the world was under his control.

When Ji Nai saw that he was gradually becoming the person he liked in his previous life, he knew that Kangxi had taken the first step towards controlling the court. And this time, he was no longer alone, as he had himself to witness it together.

Kangxi saw Ji Nai staring at him blankly with admiration in her eyes. He was already happy, and he felt even more pleased. It just so happened that the heavy stone in his heart had loosened, so he had the leisure to tease this little girl.

"Do you remember what I asked you a few days ago?"

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Ji Nai really didn't know, as his mind was not on this at the time.

"I asked you at that time whether your family had already arranged a marriage for you."

"How could my family dare to do such a thing? The girls are not allowed to get married before the selection. I know the rules."

"Seeing how scared you are, I want to know if you have a sweetheart. If you do, when you turn 25 and leave the palace, I will give you a dowry."

"So what does His Majesty intend to reward me with?"

"What do you want?" Kangxi didn't expect Ji Nai to actually want a dowry. Could it be that he really had a lover, so he wanted to leave the palace on the 25th? For a moment, his face was a little dark and his tone was a little aggressive.

Ji Nai secretly rolled his eyes. This man knew that he was teasing her and would not really let her leave the palace. The emperor was such a creature. Even if he didn't like you and was just interested in you, he would still mark you and put you in the harem.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. If the man I marry is from a poor family, then I would naturally want Your Majesty to give me more gold and silver. If he has a little wealth, then I would naturally want shops and land."

"Oh, you are so incompetent that you have never thought about marrying someone better." Kangxi understood from Ji Nai that she was not sure who she would marry, which meant that she had no one she loved.

"Your Majesty, you think too highly of my status. My family background is here, so naturally I can only find someone of equal status. If I marry into a wealthy family, I will suffer a lot, but what does that person want?"

Of course he is after you. Kangxi did not say this out loud, but Ji Nai's status is indeed low, making him easy to be bullied. Besides, he is also stupid, so he will definitely not be able to defeat others. It seems that he will have to protect him more in the future.

Kangxi sighed, "Okay, I understand."

[No? What do you know? Is this a joke? ]

"Do you really like Kangxi?" Yuan Xu hesitated to speak, totally confused as to whether Ji Nai was in love or not.

[Like.] Ji Nai knew that there was a term called love-brain in that world, but she didn't care at all. What was wrong with liking her husband? There was nothing wrong with admitting it.

"So you were just pretending to be pitiful so as to gain Kangxi's protection, right?"

[Why do you think so? Men are unreliable, and emperors are even less reliable. And in the deep palace, how dare I give my life to others? ]

"But don't you like him?"

[Liking and being unreliable do not conflict. 】

Yuan Xu felt that his brain was even more confused. So Ji Nai was slow in emotions and had the clear brain of a heroine, a love brain?

Yuan Xu said that he simply couldn't understand the relationship between Kangxi and Ji Nai. Forget it, why bother yourself and think about these things? Just enjoy the show.
