He didn't know what he was thinking. It was obvious that Nara was so irritating, so he could just turn away and leave. Out of sight, out of mind. However, no matter how irritated he was today, Kangxi had no intention of leaving at all.

Ji Nai noticed that something was wrong with Kangxi, and so did Huipin.

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Kangxi felt great pressure. He was reluctant to get angry at Ji Nai, so he said to Huipin in a somewhat embarrassed and angry tone: "Nara, why don't you go back to your Yanxi Palace!"

"I wonder if what Your Majesty wants to talk to Sister Ma Jia about is private or official? If it is related to the harem, Sister Ma Jia will hear it, and I will naturally hear it too. Even if I don't listen today, I will still want to hear it from Sister Ma Jia in the future."

Kangxi had not yet figured out how to confess to Ji Nai, and there was still Nara, the troublemaker. Kangxi could see what Nara meant: she was determined to stay.

Ji Nai's heart skipped a beat and he no longer cared whether Nara was present or not, and he kept asking Kangxi.

Kangxi had no choice but to confess: "In a few days, the Tong family will send a princess to the palace."

Ji Nai breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought something had happened when Kangxi reacted like this. As for Tong Jia Xianrui's entry into the palace, she had already expected it.

Regardless of whether Kangxi was close to his relatives in this life, the glory of the Tong family was destined, and the daughter of the Tong family would definitely enter the palace, provided that he did not make any serious mistakes. This had nothing to do with friendship, but came from blood, unless Kangxi's biological mother was not Tong Jia.

"Hasn't this year's election been cancelled? How is Princess Tonggiya going to enter the palace? Won't the Empress Dowager have any objections?" After all, after the election was cancelled, Borjigit would not be able to enter the palace, and the Empress Dowager was not without opinion.

During the last election, Kangxi used the funeral of Concubine Hui as an excuse to refuse admission of a new Khorchin noblewoman into the palace, and was waiting for this year's election.

Although the Empress Dowager was unhappy about the cancellation of the general election due to Wu Sangui's rebellion, she also understood that Kangxi could not be blamed for this. However, if there was a special case like Tong Jia, it would be hard to say.

Kangxi did not expect Ji Nai to accept this fact so easily. He was stunned for a moment, then explained: "Although Tong Jia's entry into the palace is a foregone conclusion, it will not happen in the short term."

There was a light in Ji Nai's eyes. She did not ignore Kangxi's address to Tong Jia. In her previous life, this man always called her cousin.

But at the same time, Ji Nai did not miss Kangxi's emotional changes. She held Kangxi's hand and said, "Your Majesty does not need to inform me of the newcomer's entry into the palace. Since you said so, there must be a deep meaning behind it.

But I am stupid and can’t figure it out myself. If you have anything to tell me, just tell me directly.”

Kangxi was relieved, and he said, how could Ji Nai have no reaction at all, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. He guessed that Ji Nai probably thought that Tong Jia's entry into the palace was an exception, and there was something else going on, so he was not jealous.

Although it was Ji Nai who misunderstood, Kangxi still felt warm in his heart. His Ji Nai would stand behind him silently no matter what happened.

Kangxi could have made the mistake, but he did not want to disappoint Ji Nai's friendship, so he explained:

"Tong Jia is my mother's niece. Even for my mother's sake, I cannot treat her with disrespect."

Huipin couldn't help but interrupt, "Oh, Your Majesty, don't you find what you said funny? Is it not considered disrespectful only if a Tonggiya girl enters the palace?"

"Shut up!" Kangxi was afraid that Nara's words of sowing discord would succeed, so he quickly explained: "Letting Tong Jia enter the palace is, firstly, for my mother's face, and secondly, because I can't let Tong Jia marry anyone else."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi glared at Nara and opened his mouth right at her.

Humph! He knew that Nara had bad intentions and was trying to flatter Ji Nai in front of him.

Huipin sneered, "Why are you glaring at me, Your Majesty? Isn't there something ambiguous in your words? What do you mean by not allowing Tong Jia to marry anyone else?"

Yes, you and Princess Tong Jia were both children of Empress Xiaokangzhang, and you had a childhood sweetheart relationship. How can anyone else compare to that?

Sister Ma Jia, you have to think it through. You can still survive by keeping the child, but if you give your true love to the wrong person, you will end up like your sister. "

"How dare you! Nara, are you saying this out of resentment towards me? I think I have done my best for you, is it because of Yinzhen?"

When Huipin heard Kangxi mention Yinzhen, her resentment instantly dissipated, and her heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, which made her shiver.

Ji Nai sighed silently. Since entering the palace, Nara had been doing well. The only big setback she suffered was that she was deceived by Kangxi, which caused her emotional setback and even cost her child.

But not long after, Nara retaliated with blood. Although she failed to completely overthrow Hesheli, she still felt relieved. Afterwards, for Yinzhen's sake, Kangxi did not do anything to Nara. Although he no longer favored Nara, he promoted her and gave her back her power in the palace.

Not to mention how many schemes and considerations were behind this, but it was true that Nara did gain many benefits.

Perhaps, it was because of this that Nara's arrogance was not completely destroyed, and the resentment that had been pent up for a long time disturbed Nara's peace. He did what he knew was impossible, and was always secretly pulling hair from the tiger's butt.

Even though Ji Nai reminded her several times, he still couldn't stop Nara from committing suicide.

Nara didn't even think about it. Unless she really didn't care about Yinzhen anymore, what would be the benefit of angering Kangxi at this time?

"Your Majesty, what you said is too serious. Could it be that since Princess Tong Jia has entered the palace, the concubines and I are not allowed to be jealous?"

In fact, all the masters and servants present knew clearly in their hearts that Nara's rebellious words were not out of jealousy.

But Ji Nai spoke up to smooth things over, and Kangxi had to give her this face. After all, this was the Zhongcui Palace, and if Nara was really punished in Ji Nai's palace, who knows what kind of rumors would spread in the palace afterwards.

Seeing that Kangxi's expression had eased, Huipin dared to speak again. She said, "I am indeed a little curious about why His Majesty said that he would not allow Tong Jia Gege to marry anyone else."

"This is what I want to know."

In fact, the attitudes of the two Kangxis towards the Tong family were completely different. Perhaps it was because the truth about the "death of Empress Xiaokangzhang" left Kangxi with a grudge, so when he mentioned his cousin Tong Jia Xianrui, he no longer spoke with full of nostalgia.

I miss those carefree days, I miss those memories filled with my mother's figure, I miss that happiness that is gone forever.
