Rong Fei is not honored

Tong Jia Gege forgot the honorific in a hurry and picked up the childhood name. But when Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei heard it, their eyes flashed, but they did not stop it. Men know men best. How can the unfamiliar "Your Majesty" be as caring as "Cousin".

Tong Guogang comforted her, "Don't worry, niece. Just based on your looks, the Emperor won't let you marry anyone else." Tong Guogang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, grasping the most critical point.

Yes, their niece (daughter) looked like her sister, and after they realized this, they began to deliberately let her imitate her aunt. They firmly believed that as long as the emperor knew what his cousin looked like, he would never let her marry anyone else.

Therefore, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were not worried at all that their niece (daughter) would not be able to enter the palace. What they were worried about was how to stop the gossips of the people and not damage the reputation of the Tong family.

The families of all the concubines would never want such a woman to enter the palace. It would be fine if the selection could go through normally, but they would just have to be wary of the underworld's tricks. Although their Tong family has no roots in the palace, they are definitely protected by the Emperor, so nothing will go wrong.

But now, it’s a bit difficult.

Tong Jia Gege listened to her father's words, then looked at her uncle, and when she saw him nod, she breathed a sigh of relief, "But when the next election comes, I will be twenty."

When Tong Jia Gege said the word "twenty", she felt a little embarrassed. Seventeen was already a bit old. If she really had to wait until she was twenty, she would be an old maid. Who knows how many unpleasant things she would say.

Tong Guogang comforted him, "Don't worry, your father and I will do our best to help you. If it doesn't work, we will ask His Majesty to make the decision. You just need to prepare to enter the palace."

"With Amuqi's words, I feel relieved."

Tong Jia Gege came over crying and left smiling. Anyone could see that she was worried.

The master and servants of the Tong family immediately realized that there was no change in the matter of the eldest princess entering the palace. For a moment, the faint traces of ridicule and indifference disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Looking at the little faces in front of her, Tong Jia Gege snorted in her heart. If she hadn't made this trip on purpose, she would never have seen the scene before her.

Tong Jia Gege didn't care about these villains at all. She only cared about the thoughts of her father and uncle. Fortunately, they did not give up their plans. However, even if they had this idea, the word "cousin" was enough to shake their minds.

Apart from herself, there was no other princess of the right age and status in the Tong family. My uncle and father had many daughters, but only myself and my sister were legitimate. It was not impossible to have a princess born out of wedlock, but with the family background of the Tong family, a princess born out of wedlock would definitely not be granted a high position directly after entering the palace, which could not satisfy my uncle and father's ambitions.

As for her own sister, she was just a greedy baby. It was not that Princess Tong Jia disliked her own sister, but one could tell a person's future from a child's appearance. With her personality, she was not suitable to enter the palace at all. The Tong family did not have the patience to wait for her to grow up.

Now, she only needed to wait for the imperial decree and then enter the palace to marry her cousin. She would never be as unlucky as her aunt. She would definitely become a favorite concubine, then her cousin's wife, and finally, the queen mother.

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei discussed for a long time, and finally felt that it would be better to leave the matter to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty wanted his cousin to enter the palace, he would definitely find a way. Moreover, with His Majesty in charge, their Tong family would also have less criticism.

On the second day, in the imperial study, after Kangxi had finished discussing important matters with several important ministers, he asked everyone to leave. The rest of the people bowed and left, except for the two brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, who hesitated.

Such abnormal behavior attracted people's attention, but then everyone thought of the imperial decree issued by the Emperor some time ago. Everyone knew that the Tong family had a princess hidden in the family who would be sent to the palace.

So this is urgent?

Considering His Majesty's face, the crowd did not sneer, but in their hearts they looked down upon the Tong family's behavior. All of them had climbed to this point through real merit, and even if they relied on their family background, it was because their ancestors had worked hard enough.

But why can the Tong family be ranked with them? They are just cowards who relied on women to get to the top. They are not satisfied with the Empress Xiaokangzhang before them, and they even want to glorify another generation. It's really ridiculous.

Not to mention the great strategy and bravery displayed by His Majesty, he would never give the Tong family the opportunity to be the in-laws of two emperors. Just look at the complexity of the palace today, with the ruthless queen in front and two favorite concubines in the back, the princess of the Tong family may not be able to make a name for herself.

Tong Guogang simply ignored those strange looks. In his opinion, the benefits that were in his hands were the most practical. If it weren't for the fact that his family and his future queen wanted to climb up and have a good reputation, he wouldn't have hesitated.

Tong Guowei was a little overwhelmed. After all, the one who was going to enter the palace was his own daughter from the Tong family. It was not nice for a father to desperately send his daughter to the emperor's side in order to seek status and power.

After everyone else had left, Kangxi asked gently, "Is there anything wrong, uncle?"

This is pure nonsense. He is not unaware of the Tong family's intentions, but he doesn't care. What's more, Kangxi is actually very happy to show his favor to his in-laws in this way. It's a pity that plans can't keep up with the speed of change. Whether it's financial constraints or the lack of a suitable person to host, Kangxi had to cancel this year's talent show.

But knowing this is knowing, since the Tong family is more concerned about this matter, it is natural that they should bring it up. In addition, after the incident with my mother, Kangxi was a little skeptical about the "family affection" mentioned by his uncle, so he naturally wanted to see what the Tong family was going to do.

Tong Guogang pretended to be hesitant, his face full of confusion, and finally sighed and said, "Forget it, after all, Xianrui is not meant for you."

Kangxi suddenly realized, "So uncle was talking about my cousin, how come she..." Kangxi looked annoyed, "I forgot, my cousin is already seventeen this year."

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei naturally knew that the emperor had not forgotten, but compared with the court affairs, a woman, even if she was their cousin, was insignificant. Moreover, even if the emperor had really forgotten, they would not dare to blame him.

Tong Guogang took a step back and said awkwardly, "Xianrui is old. She will be 20 years old by the next election. After all, the rules are here. Even if my sister wanted to... Oh, let's not talk about it. Xianrui is not so lucky."

When Kangxi heard Tong Guogang mention his mother, his eyes flickered twice. Even if he was his own uncle, he didn't want him to use his mother as a concubine.
