Rong Fei is not honored

Just because he wants to compensate his mother who died young, how tolerant must the emperor be towards the Tong family before he is satisfied?

If that matter is uncovered one day, wouldn't she, Wu Yunna, and Korqin be...

Even though the Empress Dowager's tone was normal, Concubine Nianhulu and Concubine Hui still heard the sarcasm in her voice.

"The Queen's Mother."

The Empress Dowager really couldn't bear to see the Empress Dowager still provoking the Emperor at this time.

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the Empress Dowager tiredly, sighed deeply, and then fell silent.

Huipin had been enjoying the show before, but now she felt a little restless in the quiet environment.

She really wanted to ask how Rong Fei was doing, but in such an atmosphere, Huipin didn't dare to speak.

Huipin felt that if she spoke at this time, Kangxi would be so angry that he might take his anger out on her and have her thrown out.

She thought about it and decided to forget it. After all, the Empress Dowager might not be able to help but ask, or the imperial physician might come out to report the situation directly.

But unexpectedly, Huipin shut her mouth in time but failed to stop Yinzhen.

"Father Emperor, how is Concubine Rong?"

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Yinzhen, Huipin wanted to spank him. Didn't he see what was going on? He even dared to ask around.

Huipin stood in front of Yinzhen and opened her mouth to excuse her son, but suddenly stopped. If she was not mistaken, those were tears in Kangxi's eyes just now, right?

Huipin was in no mood to lament that Rongfei had actually become Kangxi's "true love". Her heart sank. Was Rongfei's situation really that bad?

Kangxi calmed down and asked, "Why is Yinzhen here?"

The Empress Dowager and others were speechless. If they remembered correctly, Concubine Hui was already there before they came to Zhongcui Palace, and Yinzhen was with his mother.

Just when they entered the main hall, Huipin and Yinzhen also followed in. Kangxi didn't even know how long they had been there.

Speaking of Yinzhen, the Empress Dowager suddenly realized something and asked, "Where is Saiyin Chahun? And Chengrui, where are they?"

How could it be possible that Concubine Rong had such a serious incident that her children didn't know about it? Even Yinzhi was here, so why were Chengrui and the others nowhere to be seen?

Kangxi explained wearily, "The children are all in the side hall. I was afraid they would be frightened, so I had people guard them and not allow them to come out."

Huipin is now too lazy to say that Kangxi is partial.

Under such circumstances, the bastard could think of Rong Fei's children and was worried that Chengrui and the others would be scared, but he could always ignore her Yinzhi.

It seems that her Yinzhi is made of stone, with a courage and a heart of stone, and it is impossible for him to be scared. He is even stronger than Chengrui, who is already ten years old.

Niuhulu had been silent the whole time, but she caught a glimpse of Huipin rolling her eyes, and she also noticed the undisguised emotions of the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so she took the initiative to say:

"After all, Yinzhi is still a child. It's not good for him to stay in such an occasion for too long. It's better to send him to the side hall first, so that he and his brothers can stay together and keep each other company."

Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Hui were all very satisfied with Nianhulu's suggestion, except for the person involved.

Yinzhi was so stubborn that he refused to leave and insisted on staying to find out about Concubine Rong's mother's situation.

But in the end, his arms were no match for his thighs, and he was carried away by Liang Jiugong.

The Empress Dowager sighed, "This child really cares about Concubine Rong."

Huipin thought about it, and finally said: "Yinzhi and Sister Rongfei are destined to be together."

"Besides, although this child is a little ignorant, he still knows what is good and what is bad. Sister Rongfei has always been very kind to Yinzhi, so he has remembered it in his heart and is willing to get close to Saiyin Chahun and others."

"Rong Fei has a kind heart," the Grand Empress Dowager commented, and then said to Kangxi, "With a concubine like her, the harem can live in peace and the imperial heirs can be safe."

The Empress Dowager did not mention Tong Jia in any of her words, but every word she said was referring to her.

Kangxi took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother. Although I intend to promote the Tong family, I also know that I have no intention of making Tong Jia a concubine so soon."

The Three Feudatories Rebellion had not yet been quelled, so he had no plans to appoint a queen this year. Kangxi could have appointed a queen to ensure the safety of the country, but he was unwilling to rush into appointing a queen just to stabilize the country's foundation.

He had already appointed a crown prince, so there was no need to do another thing just to reassure his court officials. The war outside was going smoothly. If it could show results by the beginning of this year, then appointing a queen would be more to Kangxi's liking.

The imperial decree appointed Nianhulu, who had been in the palace for only a month, as a concubine. This was a political choice. It would not be good to let the future queen stay in the position of a concubine for a long time and kowtow to the concubines, right?

Although Kangxi had instructed Ji Nai in advance, he also obediently expressed his attitude to Nianhulu, Nara, and the entire harem.

However, it was ultimately unjustifiable for a concubine who enjoyed the same status as a concubine to receive the same treatment as a concubine or a concubine. This could easily lead people to misunderstand that Ji Nai was afraid of the Nianhulu family, after all, Kangxi did not speak personally.

As for Tonggiya, although Kangxi would not neglect his mother's relatives, he also had to consider the overall situation, so he would not promote Tonggiya before everything was settled.

Kangxi's original plan was to appoint Nianhulu as the empress and then make his cousin a noble concubine.

Being the first person under the queen can be considered as compensation for Tong Jia.

But now... let alone the title of Imperial Concubine, Kangxi doesn't even want to give her a position as a concubine.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, his mother's pale face, which was always filled with melancholy, would appear in Kangxi's mind. If he really did this, where would his mother be?

However, emotionally, Kangxi hated Tong Jia so much that whenever he thought of the appearance of Ji Nai he had just seen, he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Family affection and love, the two emotions were entangled and pulling at each other in his mind, making Kangxi exhausted and unable to think deeply about the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words.

"As for what to do with Tonggiya, let's talk about it later." He really didn't have the mind to think about other things now.

"It's better to really know." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly.

Nianhulu, who was standing by, always felt that the Empress Dowager's reaction was too excited. Even if the royal heir in Rong Fei's belly was really damaged because of Tong Jia, there was no need for the Empress Dowager to pressure the Emperor step by step for this.

If it was for the royal heir, firstly, the gender of the baby in Rong Fei's belly was still unknown, and secondly, even if it was for the prince, the Empress Dowager really had no shortage of great-grandchildren.

So what if Concubine Rong is close to Shoukang Palace?

After all, she was just a bondservant, not a noble lady of Khorchin, and her children would not have more than one-eighth of the Borjigit bloodline.

Would the Empress Dowager really have to go against the Emperor's family, who were dear to him, just for Rong Fei's child? Could it be that she truly felt sorry for Rong Fei? No kidding.

Niuhulu lowered her eyes, hiding the thoughts in her eyes.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager was targeting the Tong family and the Tonggiya clan, so she took advantage of this incident to suppress the person in Chengqian Palace.

But it seems that this time the Empress Dowager will get what she wants. Look, their Emperor is no longer worried.

But it is estimated that in the mind of the Empress Dowager, His Majesty was just making up an excuse to protect the Tonggiya clan.

On the other side, after being sent to the side hall, Yinzhen refused to give in and tried desperately to rush out, but his small body was no match for several adults.

After he was so tired that he had no strength left, Yinzhen sat down on the ground in frustration. Only then did he realize that several people in the room were looking at him.

Chengrui and Saiyinchahun were fine, as these two brothers interacted frequently and Yinzhen often did stupid things in front of them, so he was not afraid of being seen by them at this time.

But the little ones... the youngest one couldn't even sit up, so he could only crane his neck to look over here. When he looked closely, he saw a little sister over there...

Yinzhi suddenly learned what shame was. He quickly got up from the ground, found a stool and pretended to sit down. When he found that they were still looking at him, Yinzhi didn't dare to glare back.

After all, he was already six years old, so how could he bother with two children? As for the five-year-old Rongxian, in the cognition that someone had persistently instilled in Yinzhen, he was a being that needed protection and could not be treated harshly.
