Rong Fei is not honored

Ji Nai had a pretty appearance. She was neither as elegant as the empress, nor as bright and beautiful as Concubine Yi, nor as gentle as Concubine Tong Jia. At most, she was a little more delicate than a beautiful girl.

But in this life, with the nourishment of spiritual fluid, Ji Nai's bones were adjusted to the optimal proportion. His facial features were still the same, but his eyes were bigger and brighter, and his nose, mouth and other parts also had subtle changes.

The main reason is that Ji Nai himself can’t remember what he looked like in his previous life. Sometimes when he looks in the mirror, he feels a little strange, but when he takes a closer look, it’s that familiar face, just a little prettier.

Every time Yuan Xu heard Ji Nai's remarks, he would complain about Versailles. Although Ji Nai's current appearance still resembles the past, she is not a beauty of the same level, okay?

In the past, she could only be praised as pretty, but now she has clearly grown into a stunning beauty. If she is given a bit of fairy spirit, she can directly ascend to become a goddess or fairy. Didn’t the queen and the concubines become more and more afraid of Ji Nai? Every time they see Ji Nai’s face, their expressions are not very good.

Fortunately, Ji Nai was only eleven years old when she first entered the palace, and she was not so beautiful yet. She did not become a great beauty through genetic mutation over the years.

So everyone thought that Ji Nai had grown up, and that it was also because of the Feng Shui of the Forbidden City that he was nurtured and protected by the dragon energy that he grew up to be like this, otherwise everyone would have called him a disaster.

Even so, the Empress Dowager became more and more displeased with Ji Nai, but after Ji Nai realized that he was a stranger for the first time, he reduced the number of times he looked at the mirror. He had no sense of being a disaster and remained as well-behaved and polite as ever.

Faced with the Empress Dowager's cold attitude towards him, he thought it was because of Concubine Borjigit, and privately complained to Yuan Xu about Empress Xiaozhuang's unreasonableness.

Yuan Xu was speechless, and felt that Kangxi's evaluation of Ji Nai was really appropriate. To be honest, if he hadn't taken the initiative, he might not have lost the child this time like in his previous life. The book was right, rebirth really doesn't make you smart.

In fact, Ji Nai was not completely unaware of the changes in his appearance. It was mainly because Kangxi's eyes were looking at him more and more passionately, and he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

Although the two have not officially consummated their marriage yet, they have already touched all the places that should not be touched, and kissing is even more common. It's just that Kangxi really doesn't want to take another cold shower, and thinks that the New Year will be soon, so he tries to avoid kissing, for fear that they will kiss and kiss... and become so affectionate that Yuan Xu can't bear to watch. Anyway, now as soon as there is a sign of it, Yuan Xu dare not stay any longer, for fear of getting stye or being scolded by Ji Nai.

Right now, Ji Nai and Kangxi were having a meal, but Kangxi couldn't take his eyes off Ji Nai's face. It must be said that men are visual animals. If Ji Nai wasn't so good-looking, Kangxi wouldn't be so clingy even if he had deep feelings for Ji Nai.

Ji Nai blushed and glared at Kangxi, but Kangxi took advantage of her and pulled Ji Nai into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, which scared Ji Nai. Before, the two of them had always been intimate when they were alone, but never in front of the servants. As a result, when he looked up, he found that the servants in the palace had retreated without knowing when.

Ji Nai's heart sank. Kangxi asked everyone to leave, which could only mean that he had something to say to him, but it might not be something he wanted to hear. He secretly focused his attention to deal with what was to come, but his face was still shy.

Kangxi touched Ji Nai's cheek and felt a warm and smooth feeling. Only then did Kangxi understand that the description of fair skin and jade-like bones in the books was not an exaggeration.

"I will be 13 next year, and I can perform the ritual of filial piety according to the rules." Ji Nai was so embarrassed that she buried her head in Kangxi's neck. Kangxi felt a little reluctant when he felt Ji Nai's closeness, but when he thought of what the Empress Dowager had said to him, he hardened his heart and said, "I am the emperor, and I cannot favor only one person. I need to treat everyone equally."

In recent months, Kangxi has basically come to Zhongcui Palace, except for the Empress. The palace has long been dissatisfied, but now he has not been in bed with her, so the dissatisfaction is limited. But next year, it can't be like this. The Empress Dowager is right. The emperor's exclusive favor will only hurt others and himself. If Ji Nai is envied by all the women in the harem, then even with her protection, it may not be safe.

The case of Concubine Dong E and her son was the best example. The emperor's control over the harem was no weaker than his own. However, the result was that both Concubine Dong E and her son were harmed, and the emperor died of depression soon after. Kangxi could not bear this possibility, so he simply extinguished Ji Nai's expectations of him from the beginning, expecting himself to be able to take only one scoop out of the three thousand rivers.

But ask yourself, if there were no such external factors, could you really achieve this? Kangxi was never a person who would stop for a flower.

It is undeniable that on the one hand, he was unwilling to do so, and on the other hand, he took into account the integration of the former dynasty and the harem. He also sincerely considered the impact of this on Ji Nai. A favorite who has no benefits but only disadvantages would never be accepted by Kangxi.

"I know, I have known it from the beginning, and I have never expected it." Ji Nai's voice was a little choked. These days were too good, with only her and Kangxi, and she almost thought that the other people in the harem were not Kangxi's women. Just like the couples of that era, the love between the two of them, nothing else. However, the dream will eventually wake up, and now it is Kangxi who wakes up himself, instead of being shattered by the cruel reality. She should be happy.

Yes, I was happy. As an emperor, it was rare for Kangxi to be able to do this. But tears still fell, and I couldn't stop them.

Kangxi felt the wetness in the crook of his neck and lifted Ji Nai's head. Sure enough, Ji Nai's face was already in tears. Seeing Ji Nai like this, his eyes also became wet. Kangxi gently kissed away the tears on Ji Nai's face and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end, because this time, he couldn't give any guarantees.

Ji Nai cried for a while before speaking again: "What I just said was from the heart, not just perfunctory words. I understand your Majesty's feelings for me, and I also understand that your status means you cannot do some things, and I don't want to embarrass your Majesty."

Kangxi closed his eyes. He was destined not to be able to return this true love with the same sincerity. But he would treat Ji Nai well in his own way, pamper her, give her children, and give her a position. As long as she did not change.

Kangxi rested his forehead against Ji Nai's forehead and said, "Ma Jia Ji Nai, you just need to stay like this forever." This was the first time that Kangxi called out Ji Nai's full name. Kangxi had asked Ji Nai's name before, but after knowing it, he never said anything else. Ji Nai thought Kangxi had forgotten it.

Ji Nai knew that from this moment on he had lived in Kangxi's heart, but he was not as happy as he had imagined.
