Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 299 A sleepless night

Ji Nai understood Yuan Xu's unfinished words. She was touched and also a little amused. [Who was the one who worried about me becoming evil every day? Why do you look like the evil villain? ]

Yuan Xu said seriously: "If you mind..."

[Even if I mind, Zhang is innocent, and I won't take my anger out on her. Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that my mood fluctuates a lot during pregnancy, so I feel a little uncomfortable.] Ji Nai stopped Yuan Xu from continuing.

Yuan Xu was complaining in her heart, how could everything be fine? If morning sickness hadn't exposed Ji Nai's thoughts, she would probably still not know until now. The fact that Ji Nai cared so much about this could only be attributed to the fact that this guy hid it too well.

As soon as Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace, he heard the news that the imperial physician had been summoned from the Zhongcui Palace, and he immediately stood up and rushed over. But as soon as he reached the door, he turned back and sat down again.

Liang Jiugong looked at His Majesty's series of inexplicable actions and was confused for a moment, but the next second, he heard the other party's voice.

"Liang Jiugong, go to Zhongcui Palace and see if she is okay."

The "she" here naturally refers to the master Rongpin. Liang Jiugong stepped back and hurried towards Zhongcui Palace.

Liang Jiugong was relieved when he learned that Rongpin was just suffering from normal morning sickness and was fine. Worried that His Majesty might be anxious waiting, he thanked Rongpin for the tea and hurried back to the Qianqing Palace.

After hearing Liang Jiugong's reply, Kangxi said nothing, but the low pressure all over his body showed that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

On the second day, ignoring the strange looks from the court officials, Kangxi finished the morning court session as planned with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face.

After the court session, the court officials gathered in groups of three or four, whispering to each other.

They are not gossipy and have to poke fun at His Majesty's private affairs, but the recent news that a concubine in the harem is the only one favored has not been widely spread, but everyone who needs to know it knows it.

It was obvious that the woman was pregnant, but His Majesty still stayed in Zhongcui Palace, why did he still look like this... How could one not be worried? As a result, after asking around, it turned out that His Majesty did not stay in Zhongcui Palace last night, but went back to his own Qianqing Palace to rest.

So, could it be that there is a beauty hidden in the Qianqing Palace?

Now, the rumor that His Majesty favored Ma Jia was no longer valid. The ministers who received the news and knew that His Majesty favored Rongpin were no longer worried.

If they had not been concerned about the two princes, they would have submitted an impeachment petition long ago. Later, when they learned that Rongpin was pregnant, but the Emperor still stayed in Zhongcui Palace, these people were so angry that they almost pointed at Kangxi and called him a tyrant and Rongpin a witch.

There was even a rumor that the Queen's illness was related to Concubine Rong. These people had originally planned that even if the two princes were around, they would petition His Majesty to punish the evil concubine who had deceived the Emperor.

But before they could act, they found that things were not what they thought. But when they thought about it, who was His Majesty? He had all the women he wanted, so why would he only stick to a woman from a bannerman family? The rumor of a special favor was ridiculous, but they actually believed it.

After further investigation, it turned out that the source of the rumor was the Hesheli Mansion. Thinking about the news that the queen was ill later, who didn't know that he almost became a knife in the hands of the Hesheli family? It was really too much. Fortunately, they had not submitted the memorial yet, so everything could still be saved.

Kangxi rubbed his brows uncomfortably, feeling guilty and sleepless all night because he was worried about Ji Nai's health and couldn't be with him. At this moment, he didn't know that many things that had been bothering him recently had been solved by accident.

However, the price he paid was that his reputation was tarnished. Without his knowledge, the news that the Qianqing Palace had a beautiful woman had spread, and it was so convincing that even the Empress Dowager believed it. Because of this, her hostility towards Ji Nai also dissipated a lot. Of course, this is a later story.

Kangxi was in a lot of pain right now, and the thought of seeing Ji Nai was lingering on his mind, wearing away his rationality bit by bit. Moreover, whenever he thought about the fact that Ji Nai was in pain because she was pregnant with his child, but he was worried about the damn rumors and couldn't be with Ji Nai, he felt so distressed.

"Ugh."

Liang Jiugong counted silently. Together with what he heard last night, this was probably the thirty-second time that His Majesty had sighed since he returned from Zhongcui Palace.

He also knew that as a caring servant, it was best not to disturb his master when he was in a bad mood. However, looking at the dark circles under his master's eyes, for the sake of his own butt, he still stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest first?"

"No, I can't sleep."

Liang Jiugong wanted to cry but had no tears. "Are you unable to sleep, or do you not want to sleep? If you continue like this, what will happen if the dragon's body is hurt?"

Liang Jiugong wanted to persuade him again, but Kangxi had already stood up and ordered: "Go to the Cining Palace." Since he couldn't sleep, he decided to find something to do.

Liang Jiugong's face was ashen. He was afraid that the Empress Dowager would find out about His Majesty's behavior and he would be charged with failing to serve his master. But His Majesty still went up to the Empress Dowager with such a shameless face. It seemed that he could not escape today.

Sure enough, the next moment the Empress Dowager saw Kangxi, her glares stabbed at Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong obviously knew his guilt and quickly knelt down to apologize.

"What are you doing?" Only Kangxi looked confused.

The Empress Dowager asked with concern, "Is the Emperor feeling unwell?"

"No."

Su Malagu brought a mirror and handed it to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Looking at the man in the mirror who looked so haggard and somewhat ominous, Kangxi turned the mirror upside down. When he woke up in the morning, he was worried about Ji Nai and had no intention of taking a look at him. Now he realized that he looked like this today. No wonder the court officials looked at him with strange eyes today.

Kangxi was a little embarrassed. It was just a sleepless night, so how could it turn out like this? He was clearly full of energy after fooling around with Ji Nai all night.

At this moment, Kangxi understood why the Empress Dowager had a serious face, while Liang Jiugong looked as if he was dying.

"Well, last night I was so busy thinking about how to arrange for the eldest princess that I didn't realize I hadn't slept all night. It has nothing to do with Liang Jiugong." In the end, Kangxi still made an excuse for the servant, which earned him a look of gratitude and some disgust from Liang Jiugong.

"The Emperor is a loving father. If the eldest princess knew about this, she would be very touched." Since it wasn't because the servants didn't serve her well enough, the Empress Dowager naturally wouldn't hold on to it. "However, the Emperor has made a decision about the eldest princess's destination."

After hesitating for a while, Kangxi said, "I want to ask what the eldest princess thinks."

The Empress Dowager frowned but did not refute. She just ordered the palace servants to bring the eldest princess over.

A timid child who looked unhealthy was brought in by a palace maid. After seeing Kangxi, he shrank into the maid's arms.

Kangxi looked unhappy, but not because of the eldest princess. He rarely saw this child. Even after he knew that she was brought to the Cining Palace, he never asked to see the eldest princess. Now that he saw her, he realized how badly his eldest daughter was living.

She was not like Chengrui, who would be filled with joy and eyes full of admiration as soon as he saw her; nor was she like Xianchenghu, who was calm and not like a child, but was well-mannered by the Queen. She was even less like Chengqing and Saiyinchahun, who would only look at her curiously because they could see her occasionally, instead of wanting to hide out of fear.

"Put the eldest princess next to me." The Empress Dowager naturally saw that the eldest princess was afraid of the emperor, so she spoke up to help.

Perhaps because this was someone she was familiar with, the princess did not resist this time.

"Can't the eldest princess walk yet?" Kangxi asked this question because the eldest princess was carried in by the palace servants just now. He remembered that Chengrui started walking by himself very early. You know, the eldest princess is one year younger than Chengrui.

"The eldest princess is not in good health, so..."

In fact, this was just an excuse. Even if his health was not good, after he arrived at the Cining Palace, he had so many good medicines to take. Why couldn't he walk until now? It was just that no one taught him.
