Rong Fei is not honored

When Kangxi left, he had turned into the emperor with beginning majesty, and Ji Nai had also returned to normal, reading books, learning characters, and chatting with Yuan Xu. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xu became even more worried, fearing that Ji Nai would keep her emotions in her heart and hurt herself.

Ji Nai was really fine. She knew Kangxi's choice before she entered the palace, and she didn't take it as a big deal. For her, the primary purpose of entering the palace was her children. What she wanted most was to see Chengrui and the others again, and she would definitely protect them this time. The relationship with Kangxi was just the icing on the cake, an embellishment. She would not resent having gained and then losing, but would maintain her relationship with Kangxi for herself and her children.

The dream was too beautiful, so I felt lost after waking up, but it was not worth it for Ji Nai to die for it. This is what Ji Nai said when he comforted Yuan Xu, and from that day on, Yuan Xu no longer shouted about eating candy.

Empress Hesheli in Kunning Palace was originally very angry that Kangxi went to Zhongcui Palace again, but she didn't expect that Kangxi actually came before the palace gates were locked. Empress Hesheli was very surprised and didn't notice that Kangxi was in a bad state, so she spoke casually and mentioned Ji Nai with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Kangxi heard it. He felt the most guilty about Ji Nai right now. He couldn't stand hearing people say bad things about her, so he turned cold. But seeing the queen's panic, he could only suppress his anger. He came here to comfort the queen today and couldn't make her feel uneasy.

"The Queen is very dissatisfied with Ma Jia." Although it was a question, the tone was firm.

Queen Hesheli's face froze. She didn't know what to say, but was her expression that obvious?

Kangxi sighed, "Fangyi, you are my wife, the Empress of Qing Dynasty." This was the only instruction he could give. No other words could be said. If they were spoken, it would become an accusation and would hurt the Empress's face.

This time, Kangxi stayed in Kunning Palace for more than half a month, and rarely went to the harem afterwards. Anyway, he couldn't do anything now, so the Empress Dowager was not in a hurry, but just said tactfully that he should give priority to his offspring next year and not be like now. The previous dynasty praised the deep love between the emperor and the empress, saying it was a blessing for the country.

Of course, there were also people who laughed at Ji Nai, mocking her for being a sparrow that could not fly to the branch and could not compare to the empress who was of noble birth. Now, His Majesty finally saw her true face.

Ji Nai was a little uncomfortable at first. It was really bad to be ridiculed in person, and he couldn't fight back. But then he received the jewelry that Liang Jiugong sent the eunuch to secretly send. After that, whenever Ji Nai was criticized, he could make a fortune. He even hoped that those people would go a little further.

On the surface, Concubine Ma Jia has been silent. Only Liang Jiugong knows that she is becoming more and more important in the emperor's heart. He has been paying attention to her privately. Whenever she is bullied, he will send her compensation, but he just restrains himself from doing so. But since she "falls out of favor", Concubine Ma Jia has been as obedient as ever, even if she has a quarrel with the emperor.

The more this happened, the more he couldn't let it go. Once, Liang Jiugong heard His Majesty muttering to himself, asking if he had hurt someone too badly, and if she hadn't forgiven him. Liang Jiugong felt sad, but this was his master's fault, so he had to endure it.

So Ji Nai actually had a very comfortable time during this period, except for the hostility of the queen. Ji Nai could have just ignored the harmless words, but the queen always made things difficult for him in various small matters, which made him upset. The key point was that he had already fallen out of favor, so how could he have offended the queen?

In fact, the queen regarded Kangxi's words that day as a warning, and the source was naturally Ma Jiajinai, so she retaliated. But in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the queen was too petty. If there were people from the Hesheli family, they would definitely understand the true meaning of Kangxi's words and stop the queen's behavior. But collusion inside and outside the palace is a taboo, and although Zhao Mama is the wet nurse of Queen Hesheli, she is a servant after all, a little short-sighted, and blindly protects her child, how can she see the situation clearly.

Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better. On the New Year's Eve banquet, the wife of Hesheli's family, that is, the queen's mama and mother, would come to the palace for the banquet. They would definitely find an opportunity to meet the queen and ask about the situation in the palace.

The old lady didn't expect her granddaughter to cry when she saw her, so she hurriedly asked what happened. Aunt Zhao interrupted and said, "It's because of that bitch Ma Jia. She seduced the emperor's heart and taught our princess a lesson for that vixen. Princess has been wronged." The old lady's face turned pale. Aunt Zhao became more excited and exaggerated everything.

As soon as he heard it, he turned to the queen with a cold face and said, "I taught you this at home." He then pointed at Aunt Zhao and said, "Why don't you kill this foolish servant quickly? What are you still keeping him for?"

Zhao Ma was stunned, not understanding why the old lady said this to her when she felt sorry for the princess, and she cried out in injustice. In the cold eyes of the old lady, her voice became lower and lower.

"She just said some dirty things, which only a servant could say. Even if Concubine Ma Jia is of a low birth, she is now the emperor's woman and the master. If anyone hears it, it will naturally be blamed on you, the master." There was dissatisfaction on Hesheli Fangyi's face.

"I know what the queen is thinking. She just thinks everything she says is right, so she doesn't stop it. But you forget that she is a concubine, and it is her job to compete for favor. But have you done what a queen should do? Have you managed the harem and shared the emperor's worries? You are even jealous of a concubine who hasn't even slept with him yet. Is this what a queen should do? You think the emperor feels sorry for Ma Jia, so he embarrassed you and came to warn you. Idiot, the emperor was telling you what kind of queen he expects him to be, and he hopes you can fulfill your duties as a queen. He just took your face into consideration and didn't say directly that you were not doing your job well as a queen. He didn't expect you to be so stupid and couldn't understand what the emperor meant at all." Hesheli Fangyi's face turned pale. She had never thought of this possibility. She just cared too much about her husband.

The old lady knew that she was afraid, so she softened her tone, "You are dissatisfied with Ma Jia, but she has followed the rules in everything, and everyone respects you as the queen, but what are you doing?"

"She's just pretending."

"That person is also pretending. The queen is the legal wife, she should be generous, why do you care about her. You mind that the emperor treats her well, but I think the emperor treats you well. With what you did before, let alone in the royal family, even in ordinary families, the legal wife who treats and plots against the concubine will be hated by the master, and the emperor not only advises you carefully, but also stays in your palace for half a month in a row, just to reassure you. Look at how many times the emperor has been to Zhongcui Palace, why do you still care about her."

Hesheli Fangyi blushed. His Majesty was indeed kind to her, but Ma Jia was a thorn in her heart, and she could not let it go completely. The old lady naturally knew her granddaughter's temper, so she could only patiently persuade her: "A concubine is just a toy. You should care about the duties of the queen. The emperor still has his children in his heart. Why bother with a concubine? You should know that the Empress Dowager is still alive. If she is not satisfied with you, even the emperor can do nothing. There is no precedent for deposing the queen in our Qing Dynasty."

The old lady was afraid that the queen would be upset, so she had been against a concubine and didn't understand the importance of the matter, so she had to bring up the Grand Empress Dowager. In her mind, even if the emperor really favored Ma Jia, so what? As long as her own queen gave birth to a prince and became the crown prince with the support of the Hesheli family, a little favor would not matter. In a few decades, she would still have to make a living under her own granddaughter, and she might not even live to that time.

But she dared not say this to the queen. The little girl longed for her husband's love and could not tolerate others. This was a taboo for the queen. If she really did something, although she would not be deposed, it would be different if there was a decent queen or not. Just like the Empress Dowager Renxian, in the previous emperor's dynasty, even if she was protected by the Grand Empress Dowager, no one would take her seriously.
