Rong Fei is not honored

Kangxi's face looked a little ugly, because he remembered that the Empress Dowager had said that after the accident in Kunning Palace, it was the child who ran to the gate of Kunning Palace to ask for help, so he didn't know how to "walk" there, but "crawled".

Kangxi was so angry that his teeth itched. The eldest princess had stayed in Kunning Palace for so long. How did the queen raise this child? Even if Kangxi knew that the queen would not really treat the child well, she was the queen. At least, she should do her best to show her kindness. But she actually...

On this point, the Empress Dowager shared the same attitude as Kangxi. Hesheli was really unworthy of the position of Empress. But now was not the time to say that the Empress was not worthy. The most important thing was to let the child settle down as soon as possible. As long as he found a good mother, life would get better slowly.

"Didn't the emperor want to ask the eldest princess what she meant? Now that the eldest princess is here, you two can talk."

Then, the air became quiet. Kangxi really didn't know how to get along with his daughters. Including his adopted daughter, he did have three daughters, but as for experience in getting along with women, sorry, no, none at all.

Finally, Kangxi could only get straight to the point, "Father wants to find a new mother for you, so I want to ask you who you want to choose."

The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi helplessly, "I thought you were going to ask what kind of mother the eldest princess likes, but what kind of question is that? How many people has the eldest princess met, and how many people can she know?"

Kangxi touched his nose awkwardly, as if, it was indeed the case. Just as he was about to change his words, he heard the eldest princess whisper something, but the voice was too soft, so Kangxi and the Empress Dowager could not hear it clearly.

The Empress Dowager asked in confusion, "What did the eldest princess say?"

"I want my mother." The timid voice sounded again, but this time, both Kangxi and the Empress Dowager heard it.

Then she realized that the eldest princess was answering Kangxi's previous question. The Empress Dowager was a little surprised. She didn't expect the child to have such a reaction. She thought she was dull. It turned out that she was just timid. No elders don't like smart children. The Empress Dowager softened her voice and coaxed, "Yes, we are choosing a mother for the eldest princess, so what kind do you want?"

Seeing that the two did not understand what she meant, the eldest princess became anxious and her face turned red before she managed to say, "I want my own mother."

This time, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager heard it clearly, but precisely because they heard it clearly, their expressions looked very unhappy.

Before the two masters could react, the nanny and palace maids who were taking care of the eldest princess knelt down quickly, crying out with pale faces: "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, we dare not mention the criminal in front of the eldest princess..." The two words "Zhang" were automatically silenced.

Su Malagu stepped forward and said something very pertinent: "These servants have been carefully selected by me and my servants. They are not talkative people. Maybe the servants before the eldest princess said something."

The servants around the eldest princess looked at Su Malagu gratefully. They really did nothing wrong. It must be the fault of their ancestors. If those servants who died because of the queen knew what happened today, they would be so angry that they would jump up and down. They were the ones who were wronged. They died and still suffered injustice.

The Empress Dowager touched the eldest princess' dry hair and asked softly, "Where did the eldest princess hear about mother?"

For a moment, everyone in the palace focused their attention on the eldest princess, especially her servants. They all prayed in their hearts: "I hope the eldest princess will stop talking nonsense and tell the truth to clear their name."

The eldest princess was a little nervous because she was being watched by so many people for the first time. After being comforted by the Empress Dowager, she mustered up the courage to speak: "I heard it when Mammy took me to the courtyard to appreciate the flowers last time."

The Empress Dowager and Kangxi glanced at the nanny beside the eldest princess. The nanny looked confused. She had indeed taken the eldest princess to appreciate the flowers, but that was because the eldest princess stayed in the house all day and was depressed, which was not good for her health. So, she took the eldest princess out for a walk when the weather was good at the suggestion of the imperial physician.

But she had been following the eldest princess the whole time, even though nothing had happened. If there really were strange people or things around the eldest princess, she would have reported it to Su Malagu long ago.

Kangxi didn't think that this nanny could perform so perfectly in front of him and hide the truth from both him and the Empress Dowager, so she probably really didn't know.

"What did the eldest princess hear? Can you tell father?" Kangxi used the same tone he used to coax Chengrui, and deliberately lowered his voice.

Although the eldest princess felt very unfamiliar with the man in front of her, she did not hide in fear this time. Instead, she looked at Kangxi with curiosity. "They are talking about their mother."

"Any more?"

The eldest princess shook her head, pursed her lips nervously, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Kangxi and the Empress Dowager looked at each other. What did the eldest princess mean by this? Kangxi's head, which was already a little uncomfortable, began to hurt again. He propped his head up and pinched his forehead.

The Empress Dowager asked with concern: "Is the Emperor feeling unwell? Liang Jiugong, go and summon the imperial physician!"

"No need, I'm fine."

"The emperor's health is of great importance. Even if there is nothing wrong, letting the imperial physician take a look would put my mind at ease."

Soon, the news that His Majesty had summoned the imperial physician to the Cining Palace spread. Upon hearing the news, the concubines in the six palaces rushed to the Cining Palace. A group of people blocked the Cining Palace and demanded to see him, which gave Kangxi even more headaches.

Normally, he was impatient to see these people. Now that he was feeling uncomfortable, he was even more impatient when he heard the chattering. "No! Send them all back!" Kangxi's words were very impolite. When they were spread outside, the concubines instantly quieted down.

Liang Jiugong said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Lady Rong is here too, and she doesn't look very well." Not to mention that Lady Rong is the apple of Your Majesty's eye, and now she is pregnant with the royal heir. If anything unexpected happens to her, he will have several lives to pay for it.

Kangxi looked up and frowned, "She's still pregnant, why is she running around!" Wasn't she suffering from morning sickness and feeling very uncomfortable? "Let her in." Then he remembered that this was the Cining Palace, and it would be too conspicuous to let only Ji Nai in, so he added, "Let Huipin and Dong come in as well."

The Empress Dowager watched Kangxi's reaction quietly, and she was not sure how much weight Ma Jia held in the emperor's heart.

When Ji Nai, Huipin, and Dong Shufei came in and were about to pay their respects, Kangxi coldly rebuked them, "No need for that. What are you doing here? You are making a lot of noise. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the Grand Empress Dowager?"

Kangxi's voice was very cold, which frightened Concubine Dong. Fortunately, the ranks of Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui were higher than hers, so even if they replied, it would not be her turn. Therefore, she moved a step with peace of mind and hid herself behind Ma Jia and Nara.

Huipin felt Dong's movements and sneered in her heart, then replied: "I and others heard that Your Majesty had summoned the imperial physician, so we hurried here because we were worried about Your Majesty's health. If we have disturbed the Empress Dowager, please forgive us."

The Grand Empress Dowager waved her hands and said, "I'm fine. It's a good thing that you're worried about the Emperor, but it's inappropriate for a group of people to gather here. Su Malagu, please let everyone outside go."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty is in good health. The imperial physician has examined him. You can rest assured, my lords. Please go back now."

Even though Su Malagu was a servant, her status in the Forbidden City was very special. So even though the concubines were unwilling, they did not dare to act like a spoiled child in front of Su Malagu and could only leave with hatred in their hearts.

Damn it, let the three of them take the spotlight again, isn't it just gaining palace power? What's so great about that?

There are those who are scheming and have seen the big picture from the small. Now that they have distinguished the difference, won't it be... Forget about Ma Jia and Dong. After all, they have been favored, have princes by their side, and are the head of a palace. But what is Dong's basis? She relies on nothing more than being a princess, and she is not much better than Iergen Jueluo.

Since they were able to bring down the Irgen Jueluo clan, a mere Dong clan could do it too.

The Empress Dowager looked at the haggard Ma Jia, and her worry about the heir to the throne prevailed. "Come here, give him a seat."
