Rong Fei is not honored

After listening to his brother's words, Fuquan understood what was going on. He spoke again with confidence, "Your Majesty, what is going on with this contraceptive medicine?"

Fuquan asked this not because he really wanted to delve into Kangxi's private affairs, he just wanted to give the other party a way out. At this time, several important princes of the Aisin-Gioro clan were present, so he could just say something to fool the other party, and outsiders would not dare to say anything.

Kangxi sighed and smiled bitterly, "Rongpin is a very ambitious woman. She got pregnant with Yinhua right after she finished her confinement. My grandmother reminded me that such frequent pregnancies would damage the mother's body and would be bad for the heir. So after Rongpin finished her confinement, I asked her to use contraceptive pills for two months."

Two months?

"So, that medicine was given by His Majesty to Concubine Rong? Has it been stopped?"

"Of course, how could Rongpin dare to take the initiative to use contraception? Even if she gave birth to a few princes and princesses, I would not let her off easily."

Several princes of the Aisin-Gioro family nodded in approval. When they first heard the news, they were furious. That Concubine Rong was so bold, and Ma Jia actually raised such a daughter. It was simply damnable!

But now after hearing what His Majesty said, I realized, what benefits will this bring to Concubine Rong?

As a concubine, wasn't her job to serve the emperor well and expand the royal family? How could she possibly use contraception?

If that is what His Majesty meant, then it makes sense.

But why did His Majesty do this? Was he worried about Rongpin's frequent pregnancies?

But it is also true that Concubine Rong has given birth to three sons and one daughter for His Majesty, so it is only right that His Majesty should feel more sorry for her.

But if it were them, since Ma Jia was so fertile, they should let her have more children, as more children means more blessings.

It seems that in this generation of the Aisin-Gioro family, it is His Majesty who has inherited the late emperor's infatuation.

It's really sad, this throne seems to be cursed.

Kangxi naturally knew what they were thinking, and said in distress: "It's also thanks to me that I prepared more, otherwise I would be scolded by the Royal Grandmother again this time."

A few people came back to their senses from their thoughts, looked at His Majesty curiously, and then were shown off.

"The imperial physician said that Concubine Rong is pregnant again. After calculating the date, she got pregnant right after she stopped taking the contraceptive medicine.

At least there was a few months of buffer time, and Rongpin's body has recovered."

The expressions on the faces of the princes gradually disappeared. For some reason, they always felt their hands itchy.

They didn't need to care about this matter. The foreign officials had nothing to do and were always paying attention to whether the concubines in the palace were giving birth or not and what they were doing.

Do you have many sons? Why worry about His Majesty's offspring?

Several princes really didn't want to admit that they were jealous. It would be great if they had such a fertile wife or concubine in their harem.

Several people expressed their congratulations to Kangxi, and then left in a hurry with a broken heart.

However, after their figures disappeared at the door of the imperial study, the complacent smile on Kangxi's face turned into coldness, but when he thought that he had solved a big problem for Ji Nai, his expression softened.

While lowering his head to look at the memorial on the table again, he instructed Liang Jiugong: "Go to Zhongcui Palace and tell her that I will accompany her for lunch today."

"Yes." Liang Jiugong took the order and left.

When they arrived outside the Zhongcui Palace, they immediately saw a few servants acting suspiciously. Liang Jiugong immediately ordered people to capture them. Without listening to their explanation of who they belonged to or what they were doing, he sent them directly to the Ministry of Punishment.

By now, the news that Concubine Rong is pregnant has probably spread everywhere, but at this most critical moment, if something goes wrong with this pregnancy, he will not be able to live.

Otherwise, why would His Majesty ask him to make a personal trip just for such a small matter as delivering a message? Wasn't it just to ask him to warn the people in the harem?

……

In fact, Ji Nai had been living in fear these days. The reason was naturally because he couldn't hold it back that day and suddenly had an emotional outburst, blurting out some things from his past life in front of Kangxi.

Ji Nai was afraid that Kangxi would realize something was wrong and burn her as an evil spirit, or that Kangxi would realize that she didn't love him that much and, out of shame, make her completely fall from favor.

Originally, Yuan Xu thought that Ji Nai had too many pent-up negative emotions, and was stimulated by the incident of the contraceptive incense, so he collapsed. But now, his anxious look seemed to be due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy, which led to emotional fluctuations.

Seeing Ji Nai panicking again because Kangxi was coming to Zhongcui Palace for lunch, Yuan Xu comforted him for the umpteenth time:

"Don't worry, he definitely didn't find anything."

[Then why did he ask Liang Jiugong to come over and give me the order? Wasn't he deliberately trying to hit me? ]

“It’s not like Kangxi had never done this before, yes, he did come directly here most of the time.

But, isn't it because you've been too clingy lately that he specifically told you so he doesn't want you to wait anxiously? "

[I'm not clingy, I'm just a little worried, so...]

"So you're trying to please him, right? You don't have to explain. I didn't misunderstand you, and I understand your intention."

[Then tell me, if he really didn't notice anything wrong, why did he behave so abnormally? ]

Yuan Xu laughed angrily. Is there a possibility that Kangxi was not abnormal at all and it was Ji Nai who was always suspicious?

"So, are you afraid or looking forward to it?"

Yuan Xu’s words were very sharp and directly pointed out the reason why Ji Nai had been behaving abnormally these days.

"Indeed, everything in my previous life was too heavy. If I could have someone to share the burden with me, it would be easier."

Ji Nai was silent for a long time, then said:

[I don't know, maybe I was afraid. After Hesheli died, the sword that was hanging over my head and might fall at any time disappeared. I thought I could live in peace from then on, but...]

"But the contraceptive incense Kangxi gave you woke you up from your sweet dream, leaving you at a loss."

[You said, am I expecting too much from the emperor? ]

Yuan Xu wanted to comfort Ji Nai, but after thinking about you, he finally cruelly revealed the truth:

"Ji Nai, in my eyes, if Kangxi was just an ordinary man, then he would be very unqualified and not a good match. But he is the emperor, and it is rare for him to be able to do this."

So, am I asking for too much?

"No, that's not an extravagant request. No matter what you want, whether it's the throne, the East Palace, or Kangxi's complete heart, why can't we have it? Why shouldn't we dare to have it?

But Ji Nai, we can fight and compete, but we can't pin our hopes on others.

At the moment, Kangxi is indeed sincere to you, this cannot be faked, but people's hearts are fickle, let alone an emperor who can have many women at the same time?"
