Rong Fei is not honored

Could it be that she was mistaken? Wasn't her cousin trying to use this incident to punish Concubine Rong, to curb the power of Zhongcui Palace and to check and balance the harem?

But if it wasn't for this reason, how could my cousin ignore the baby in Concubine Rong's belly, and how could the Empress Dowager, who has always "valued the royal heir", turn a blind eye to it?

There must be something she had overlooked. Tong Jia carefully recalled the scenes after entering the palace and suddenly discovered a shocking fact:

Is her cousin avoiding her?

And this has nothing to do with Rong Fei's matter. Her cousin has been avoiding her since the first day she entered the palace.

Otherwise, even if my cousin didn't want me to surpass the Nianhulu clan and didn't want the power gap between the two of them to be too big before the dust settled, he wouldn't have stayed away from them.

Even if my cousin has his own considerations, because of my aunt's relationship, she and Nianhulu will always be different.

It was her negligence. She was distracted by Rong Fei's affairs and failed to notice this in time.

Tong Jia was not afraid to compete with Rong Fei because she was sure that no other woman could match her aunt's position in her cousin's heart.

But my cousin still has some doubts in his heart, and she and the Tong family don’t know anything about it, so that’s a big problem.

What could this be? Could it be the Empress Dowager? Tong Jia couldn't think of anyone else in the palace who could handle this.

Tong Jia was puzzled but she didn't know that the knot in Kangxi's heart was caused by the "fool" Nara, whom she looked down upon.

The power of Huipin's words at the time was extremely great, and it cast a huge shadow on Kangxi, causing him to not even care about showing favor to Tong Jia when she entered the palace.

If Huipin knew that because of her words, Kangxi didn't even dare to meet Tong Jia, but instead looked for an old man in the palace who had met Empress Dowager Cihe, she would definitely laugh out loud.

Qianqing Palace

Liang Jiugong held the food box in his hand and cursed Wei Zhu in his heart for dodging so quickly. Then he went to report to the emperor with a bitter face:

"Your Majesty, Chengqian Palace has sent us something again."

"roll!"

Liang Jiugong was not at all surprised by the Emperor's reaction. He rolled over smoothly, his movements were silky smooth, without a trace of hesitation. He was even somewhat relieved that he was not beaten with a stick today.

Liang Jiugong distributed the food in his hand to the eunuchs below. Seeing them eating happily, Liang Jiugong couldn't help but curl his lips.

If you ask him, the people of the Tong family just can't see the situation clearly. Just because they are related by blood to the Emperor, do they really think they are superior?

This was true for the brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, as well as for the princess from the Tong family who had just entered the palace.

Liang Jiugong wanted to laugh whenever he thought of the Emperor's look that day, as if he had swallowed a fly. If it weren't for the Rong Fei's comfort for a long time, which finally worked, I'm afraid that no one in the Tong family would ever be able to see the Emperor again.

Listen to what those palace ladies who had the honor of meeting Empress Dowager Cihe said. What did they mean by "that Tonggiya princess was like the empress dowager reborn"?

Even if they were born to Empress Dowager Cihe herself, they wouldn't look that similar, right? He looked at everyone else like a fool.

But it's also true that if it weren't for Concubine Hui's words, His Majesty wouldn't be so disgusted.

Your Majesty, because Empress Dowager Cihe was of a low rank and was not qualified to raise the royal heir personally, and the few masters above her who could show mercy were fighting fiercely and had no intention of taking care of Your Majesty and his mother, so he was sent to the South Three Prison after the full moon.

After much difficulty, he was seen by the Grand Empress Dowager, but Empress Dowager Cihe was unlucky and left early.

Look, the Emperor's impression of his own mother is even worse than that of a few palace maids.

If His Majesty had not deliberately inquired, he might have only sensed a familiarity and warmth similar to that of Empress Dowager Cihe when interacting with Tong Jia Gege.

Although these shadows would not make the Emperor regard Tonggia Gege as Empress Dowager Cihe, he would transfer his guilty feelings to Tonggia Gege because of Empress Dowager Cihe, and even benefit the Tong family behind Tonggia Gege.

It's a pity that Huipin's words directly exposed the Tong family's little thoughts, and... since it concerns human relations, His Majesty will not feel happy about the similarities between Tong Jia and Empress Dowager Cihe, but will only feel disgusted.

But if that were the case, even if His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Tonggiya clan, he would not treat the princesses of the Tong family coldly for the sake of Empress Dowager Cihe.

Anyway, the emperor's favor cannot be shown only by frequent favors, he can always make up for it from other places.

However, before he had even secured the throne of the master of Chengqian Palace, troubles began to arise. Although the main conflict between His Majesty and Concubine Rong did not originate from Tong Jia, she was the fuse, wasn't she?

Master Rong Fei is determined to break with the Emperor. The Emperor is reluctant to do anything to Master Rong Fei, so he can only vent his anger and grievances on others.

Liang Jiugong watched coldly. If His Majesty had not been concerned about Empress Dowager Cihe, he would have dealt with Tong Jia who detonated the bomb long ago.

During this period, the servants in the Qianqing Palace had a hard time, and the aura of the Emperor became more and more terrifying. They were all hoping that someone would die so that the Emperor could vent his anger.

Therefore, it would be better if the person in Chengqian Palace could no longer sit still and come to the door unable to bear the Emperor's cold treatment, so as to save them from the dire situation.

Anyway, it was Tong Jia who started the fire herself, so it wouldn't be unfair to ask her to put it out herself.

Liang Jiugong, who was planning to kill his friend rather than himself, looked up and saw two figures coming towards the Qianqing Palace. Liang Jiugong's expression froze and he turned around to leave, but was stopped by the people who came.

"Liang An-da."

Liang Jiugong had no choice but to turn around and greet them. "Greetings, my two princes. Are you here to see His Majesty? I'll go in and report this to you."

After saying this, Liang Jiugong no longer cared about the rules and hurried into the hall.

Looking at the back, it looked like they were fleeing in panic. If someone who didn't know the situation saw them, they might think Chengrui and Saiyinchahun were very cruel.

Liang Jiugong felt so miserable in his heart, but it was not because he was snobbish. Seeing that Master Rong Fei had a falling out with the Emperor, he dared to disrespect the two young princes of Zhongcui Palace.

It was really...his bad luck that he was the one guarding the door on the day when his masters quarreled.

The two little ancestors were worried about their mother and wanted to know what happened between their parents. However, one of the two parties could not see each other, and the other was not in a good state. If he spoke, he would be courting death. So, can't they only target him, a poor and helpless servant?

But the problem is, since it concerns the dignity of the Emperor, he dare not tell anyone.

Saiyinchahun's eyes turned hostile. Liang Jiugong had been avoiding them these past few days, and his already limited patience was almost exhausted.

"Liang Jiugong is the most useful servant by my father's side. His loyalty is self-evident. No matter how much you threaten or bribe him, it will be useless."

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work? As long as you're human, you're bound to have weaknesses."

"If he spoke so easily, he wouldn't have to stay with Amma."

"What should we do then?" Saiyinchahun looked at his elder brother.

Although his eldest brother had remained calm since his mother's accident, Saiyin Chahun knew that he was no less worried about his mother than he was.

"If we want Liang Jiugong to speak, we have to start with Ama."

"But..." If it was easier to deal with Ama, why would they keep chasing Liang Jiugong?

"In Liang Jiugong's heart, loyalty to his father naturally comes first. As long as his father doesn't let go, he will never reveal a single word.

And in Ama's heart, we...are also very important. It just depends on whether we can soften Ama's heart."

"It's a self-torture trick. Then I..." Saiyinchahun was eager to try it.

Although Chengrui didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.

His younger brother had always been in good health. He had kept it a secret from everyone and had been fooling around in the snow in the cold wind for a long time without getting sick. If the palace servants had not found Saiyin Chahun's clothes that were soaked in snow and had been secretly hidden, no one would have known what he had done.

Saiyin Chahun, who was stronger than an ox, suddenly fell ill. Did he think my father was a fool? And there was also the Empress Dowager. If she got hurt, I'm afraid the blame would fall on my mother's head again.

Saiyinchahun was a little unconvinced and was about to say something, but when he saw Liang Jiugong coming out, he could only swallow back the words.
