Rong Fei is not honored

After getting up the next day, Ji Nai helped Kangxi put on his court robes. She felt that Kangxi was staring at her. She looked up, met Kangxi's eyes, and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me, Your Majesty?" Ji Nai felt that Kangxi was a little strange, but everything was no different from usual.

Kangxi looked at this familiar face with a charming appearance and the gentle smile in her eyes as always. His heart trembled and he reached out and held Ji Nai in his arms.

"Your Highness!" The servants around were still watching. What was he doing? Ji Nai blushed. The servants around him had already stopped what they were doing and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the two masters.

Kangxi looked at Ji Nai's shy look and burst into laughter, which took a long time to stop. He leaned close to Ji Nai's ear and said, "Ji Nai, please give me a prince soon." Only in this way could he have a reason to promote her.

After Kangxi left, Ji Nai was stunned for a long time.

"You two little mandarin ducks have only been married for a month, and you're already thinking about having a child?" Yuan Xu joked.

[Kangxi is a little bit off. Given our current relationship, he shouldn't mention the child at this time. Even if he did, he shouldn't use this tone.]

"That won't be a problem, right?" Yuan Xu was a little worried that something might have happened somewhere they didn't see.

[It shouldn't be a bad thing.] Even so, Ji Nai still couldn't help but worry. She was afraid that things would get out of control.

The first month of the fifth year of Kangxi's reign belonged to Ji Nai alone, but in February, Kangxi began to favor other people one after another.

On the day when Kangxi favored other people for the first time, Ji Nai acted very calmly. The people in Zhongcui Palace were originally very cautious, but Ji Nai smiled and let them go and do what they were supposed to do.

At night, Yuan Xuxu hugged Ji Nai. She was worried that Ji Nai would be very sad, especially since Ji Nai didn't shed a single tear.

But Ji Nai's eyes were calm. She comforted Yuan Xu, "You really don't have to worry about me. I cried the day I woke up from the dream."

Yuan Xu was a little surprised, but it seemed reasonable. Ji Nai had said similar things many times, but she didn't believe it. When that day came, Ji Nai really wouldn't be sad, but her current state was beyond her expectations.

Yuan Xu thought about everything carefully, and suddenly she realized that although she had previously believed that Ji Nai was a love-brained person, perhaps Ji Nai did not love Kangxi as much as she imagined.

Love is indeed love, but not that kind of love.

Yuan Xu was deceived, Kangxi was deceived, and even Ji Nai himself was probably deceived.

On the contrary, after favoring someone else, Kangxi became cautious when he came to Zhongcui Palace again, with a guilty conscience in his eyes that he himself did not even notice.

Yuan Xu suddenly felt that even if someone regretted this relationship in the future, Ji Nai would not be the one who got hurt. She suddenly became open-minded and inexplicably felt proud, just waiting for the future.

In fact, although Kangxi now lingers among hundreds of flowers, he still favors Ji Nai the most. So even though all concubines except the queen have the same status, Ji Nai still stands out among the concubines.

In addition to the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, Kangxi would go to Zhongcui Palace half of the time, and the remaining half was given to other concubines. But with so many concubines, some of them would definitely not have a turn even for one day, especially since Kangxi would occasionally go back to Qianqing Palace to stay alone, which made the days even less.

It's not that no one has thought about pulling Ji Nai down, but when Ji Nai fell out of favor, those concubines who had made things difficult for Ji Nai were not favored by Kangxi, including Concubine Borjigit. Not knowing whether this was a coincidence, everyone dared not act rashly.

The Empress Dowager had also speculated whether this was the reason, but after probing, she discovered that Kangxi was afraid of Khorchin. Sometimes the Empress Dowager felt a little sad. Kangxi was indeed the child of Fulin, and they were all afraid of their own family.

I remember that the harem during the reign of Huang Taiji was completely dominated by Khorchin women. When it came to Fulin, even though there were two queens from Khorchin and other concubines, they all could not escape the fate of being out of favor and childless. Now that it has come to his grandchildren, will the tragedy repeat itself? Will Qiqige also wither in the Forbidden City?

In March of the fifth year of Kangxi's reign, the assistant minister Soni requested the emperor to rule the country himself, but it was not announced. Kangxi did not want to rule the country himself, but now was not the right time. The Empress Dowager saw that the emperor was very calm in facing this matter, not eager to try, not unwilling to endure even though he knew it was wrong, and even without any entanglement, she just let it go. She knew that she really should let it go. She originally wanted to mention the matter of favoring Qiqige, but she stopped talking, maybe there would be a turnaround in the future.

The situation in the court became increasingly tense. Sony, the old fox, had already sensed something was wrong and retreated in order to protect himself. Ebilun, however, had become Oboi's puppet and had almost become part of the same party as him. Two of the four regents had already left, and only Suksaha still stood on his side. Even when Oboi was at the height of his power, he still dared to directly denounce Oboi in the court, saying that he had wolfish ambitions and was committing treason. Unfortunately, Suksaha had already shown signs of decline under Oboi's attack.

In September, during the routine visit of the imperial physician, the emperor reported that Concubine Ma Jia was already one month pregnant. This news surprised Kangxi and the Empress Dowager so much that it even alarmed the previous dynasty.

There is a big difference whether the emperor has offspring or not, as it represents that there will be successors to the country. Sure enough, after the court officials learned the news, more people supported Kangxi. It can be said that this child added bargaining chips for Kangxi in the game with Oboi.

In fact, Ji Nai had a way to conceal the news of her pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, she would have announced the news of her pregnancy after the baby was three months pregnant. But Ji Nai did not do that. She knew what the appearance of this child meant to Kangxi, so she took the risk of revealing it to help Kangxi and increase the importance of this child in Kangxi's heart.

At the same time, Ji Nai was also concerned about safety. It was indeed dangerous for the child to appear in the sight of everyone in the harem, but the current situation was special. The former dynasty was in turmoil, and the harem was also beginning to be chaotic, which was convenient for the underworld to plot assassination. Ji Nai could not guarantee that he could keep the news of the pregnancy a secret and avoid the eyes and ears of those who had ulterior motives.

But if it was exposed, it would increase the political value of the child. Kangxi and the Empress Dowager would not sit idly by, just like the crown prince Yinreng. If Kangxi had not protected him with all his strength, he would have been eaten alive by the women in the harem just because he was the child of Hesheli.

Kangxi had been looking forward to having a child with Ji Nai, and this child was so good when he arrived, helping him a lot, so Kangxi liked this child even more. So when they first heard the news, they rushed to Zhongcui Palace, regardless of the presence of the palace people, and hugged Ji Nai to kiss him. Liang Jiugong and others lowered their heads to their chests, trying hard to control the twitching corners of their mouths.

"Ji Nai, Ji Nai, Ji Nai." Kangxi called Ji Nai's name again and again, his voice full of joy.

Ji Nai had tears in his eyes. Although Kangxi didn't lose his composure like this at the time, he was also very happy. When Chengrui left, he even cried in front of everyone. This was his first child. Was it because of this that he refused to forgive himself later?
