Rong Fei is not honored

But Hesheli knew that there would be no ifs. Everything that Mafa had taught her since she was a child made it impossible for her to put the emperor first. The words "the royal family is ruthless" had long been imprinted in Hesheli's mind. For her, interests were far more important than love.

She felt a little regretful. Maybe she shouldn't have listened to her family. It was fine to just endure it slowly.

"Your Majesty!... I was wrong." Hesheli knelt on the ground. When she looked up again, Kangxi was no longer in front of her.

Sure enough, she was still unwilling to give in. She clearly wanted to tell everything to His Majesty just now, but she changed her mind when the words came to her lips.

She was born noble, a true phoenix, and should have been the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty. Even if she couldn't do it herself, her children could help her do it.

Kangxi was in a very bad mood after leaving Kunning Palace. He always felt that there was a fire in his heart, burning him uncomfortably, but he could not vent it. That night, Kangxi dreamed of Chenghu.

This is the first time.

Kangxi originally thought that it was his treatment of Hesheli that made Chenghu sad, so he was unwilling to enter his dreams.

Kangxi looked at Chenghu and wanted to ask him, "Do you blame father? You are unwilling to forgive father because of your mother's matter? But how can one let go of what she did?" Kangxi opened his mouth but did not speak.

It’s better not to ask. Even if it is the case, Kangxi will never regret what he has done, nor will he change his decision because of anyone or anything.

The father and son looked at each other in silence.

The long-awaited dream girl not only failed to make Kangxi feel relieved, but made his mood even worse.

In this case, Kangxi was even more reluctant to meet the source of his bad mood, even if the Empress Dowager urged him overtly or covertly, he was unwilling to do so.

On the other hand, Hesheli, who had been waiting for Kangxi for a long time, had no choice but to resort to the worst plan, because she knew that with the Emperor's current attitude towards her, this was her only chance.

Unfortunately, he could not tell anyone about what happened between him and the empress: the two ladies in Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace supported Kangxi but also guarded against each other, and were not close enough to each other to speak their minds.

In Kangxi's heart, the concubines in the palace were nothing more than concubines. No matter how badly he and the queen got along, he shouldn't have told these people.

The only difference was Ji Nai. Perhaps for the sake of his own face, or perhaps because of the hatred between Ji Nai and the queen, Kangxi did not want to mention Hesheli to Ji Nai.

Kangxi couldn't tell his true feelings to his servants. Even if he wanted to, the other party would not dare to listen.

In this way, Kangxi could only hold back his emotions, and they would only accumulate more and more as time went by.

At this moment, hearing Ji Nai's concern, Kangxi suddenly wanted to talk. Because of previous experience, Ji Nai skillfully transformed himself into a tree hole again to satisfy Kangxi's venting.

After Kangxi finished telling the whole story, he still felt unsatisfied. "Tell me, have I done my best for the Queen? Chenghu is her biological son. How dare she continue to use him?"

Ji Nai calmly said, "For many parents, their children are not individuals at all, but their own vassal. Just because they gave their children life, they naturally think that their children should obey them in everything, otherwise it would be a waste of their life and their upbringing."

"But the child is not a puppet. He has his own thoughts and feelings. One day, after enduring to the extreme, he will rebound and the contradiction will explode in the most intense way. The good news in misfortune is that at least before Prince Chenghu passed away, he could still cherish his fantasy about his mother."

Kangxi followed Ji Nai's words and thought about it. If Chenghu had not died young, but grew up safely, he would inevitably be involved in the struggle for the crown prince. Even if Chenghu was a good child, with the queen around, he would definitely become a pawn in the Hesheli family's struggle for power.

What's worse, Chenghu's filial piety would become a shackle that imprisons him, making him numbly obey the Queen's arrangements while suffering. Can I, as a father, compare to the importance of Chenghu's mother, who he would worry about until his death?

There are only two possible outcomes: either Chenghu cannot bear such a life and understands himself, or he succeeds in his fight for power and becomes a puppet of Hesheli.

Kangxi did not think that Chenghu's kindness and soft-heartedness would allow him to make a bold move and escape from the prison web woven by Hesheli in the name of family affection.

At this moment, Kangxi painfully discovered that he had a thought in his heart: "Perhaps it is a good thing that Chenghu died young." Perhaps, he and Hesheli were the same kind of people. He could give up anyone for the sake of the country, and Hesheli could give up anyone for her own interests.

Sensing Kangxi's change of mood, Ji Nai comforted him, "Everyone is selfish. Putting oneself first may sound cold, but it is human nature. The queen did not put the child first, so it is not wrong."

Ji Nai really thought so. Although she valued Cheng Rui and the others more than herself, after seeing the unpredictable world and seeing the different faces of people, she could understand this "selfish" behavior. Why should loving others be nobler than loving yourself? There shouldn't be such a reason in this world.

However, to Kangxi's ears, he thought that Ji Nai was deliberately talking about the Queen, but in fact he was just comforting himself. After all, Ji Nai was a person who valued his children more than himself.

Perhaps, in Ji Nai's heart, his position is more important than her own.

Kangxi couldn't help but rub Ji Nai's neck. He felt a little regretful that the child came at such a bad time. However, if he couldn't eat meat, it would be good to have a few sips of soup.

Finally, Ji Nai, who was still worried about what might happen if he continued, tearfully and breathlessly rejected Kangxi's attempt to go deeper. In order to have her in his arms tonight instead of sleeping alone in a side hall, Kangxi had to stop with regret.

On the second day, when Liang Jiugong was helping Kangxi get up, he was surprised to find that the volcano that seemed to be about to erupt at any time in the past two days had actually extinguished. Sure enough, it was the master Rongpin who had a way. It seemed that they had a savior when the days were difficult in the future.

At this time, Liang Jiugong was still happily thanking Ji Nai, completely unaware that soon someone who didn't know how to live or die would ignite Kangxi's anger again, and this time, even the savior would be useless.

There is always a lot of rain in summer. It has been raining heavily for several days, accompanied by terrifying thunder from time to time, causing the masters and servants of the Forbidden City to hide in their houses and dare not go out easily.

For some reason tonight, Ji Nai felt a tightness in his chest. He was anxious and restless, and his eyebrows were unconsciously frowned.
