Rong Fei is not honored

Just like Emperor Shunzhi’s “My first son” and Zhu Yuanzhang’s “Only Zhu Biao is a son, the others are princes”.

Although some of them were jokes, they clearly showed that the emperor's preference was not just talk.

Under such circumstances, even if someone slandered Kangxi and reminded him to be careful of Zhongcui Palace and Rong Fei, and hinted that there were so many princes in Zhongcui Palace and they would definitely be a big threat once they grew up, Kangxi would only sneer at it.

What's wrong with having so many children? It's because he and Ji Nai are too affectionate. They have been inseparable for many years and are both in good health. It would be strange if they didn't have children.

As for the fact that after it grows up, it will become a considerable force that offends the imperial power. Will Kangxi be afraid?

Rather than saying that the elderly Kangxi was afraid of his sons, it would be more accurate to say that he was afraid of death.

In order to maintain his status in the wolf clan and avoid being abandoned by the wolf pack, the old wolf king, whose power is gradually weakening, will be wary of and hostile to the strong adult wolves, and will use all means to curb and weaken their power.

But when the wolf king is at his most energetic, he will only take good care of his newborn cubs.

Even for the future of the wolf pack, he will carefully observe each child, select the one who is most suitable to lead the wolf pack, and pass on all his hunting experience and skills to him.

At this time, Kangxi was young and strong, and had not yet reached the end of his life. Kangxi, who did not have to face the fear of death, could not possibly have any malice towards his young sons.

As an emperor with achievements and accomplishments, would Kangxi be afraid that others would take power away from him?

Oboi couldn't do it, the Empress Dowager couldn't do it, and even his own son couldn't do it.

Besides, how could Kangxi not have considered how the new emperor would treat his most beloved woman and children after his death?

Even if he had paved the way for Ji Nai during his lifetime, it would be the new emperor who would hold power by then. How much weight would the last words of the late emperor, who was no longer alive, have?

Why did Nurhaci's concubine Abahai, who had given birth to three sons, die alive with him? Could it be that Nurhaci really couldn't bear to part with her and wanted Abahai to continue serving him?

Kangxi naturally thought of making Ji Nai's child the crown prince. This would be the most permanent solution.

By then, it would be his own son sitting on the throne, and Ji Nai would be able to live more comfortably. Even if the child was unfilial, he would not dare to be disrespectful to Ji Nai for the sake of filial piety.

After all, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother Empress Dowager are different. Just look at the one in Shoukang Palace today and you will know.

Admittedly, some people would say that this was the nature of the Empress Dowager, but the fact that she went from being the pearl of the grassland to the shadow of the Grand Empress Dowager was not also because she was not Kangxi's biological mother, but only his legal mother, so she needed to avoid suspicion?

However, this does not mean that Kangxi would rashly depose the crown prince for Ji Nai and shake the foundation of the country.

If Yinreng was good enough, Kangxi might have let Yinreng get close to Zhongcui Palace for the future of Ji Nai and Chengrui, and made Ji Nai the queen before his death.

After all, he was not the kind of person who would indulge himself and lose his mind, or put personal interests above public ones.

But Kangxi, who did have such thoughts, could he really suddenly change his attitude and start to be wary and cautious about the children his sweetheart had given birth to just because someone else touched upon his little thoughts?

What Kangxi was worried about was never Ji Nai and Cheng Rui who needed to rely on his favor and protection. What he was worried about was clearly the Empress Dowager who supported the young emperor to ascend the throne twice.

If the Empress Dowager really intended to depose the emperor and enthrone a younger one, Kangxi would not lose everything, but he would not win too easily.

But what if it was Ji Nai? Could she escape the Empress Dowager's schemes?

Back then, for the safety of Saiyin Chahun, Ji Nai had no choice but to send the children away with great reluctance. Now, if the Empress Dowager threatens the children's lives again, will Ji Nai compromise again?

Even though Kangxi believed that Ji Nai would not be willing to take action against him, he was still worried that the fool Ji Nai would inadvertently become a pawn of the Empress Dowager.

But Kangxi would not tell Ji Nai about such concerns. In his eyes, Ji Nai should always stay under his wings. What's the point of telling her about the storm outside, except making her anxious and sad?

But at the same time, Kangxi did not want to harm Ji Nai.

He couldn't bear to find an excuse to make Ji Nai fall out of favor. He couldn't bear to give Ji Nai's child to someone else to raise?

After much consideration, the only thing Kangxi could be so cruel as to do was to control the number of children in Zhongcui Palace.

Even so, he still didn't dare to tell Ji Nai the truth. He would rather endure the pain and wait for the imperial doctors to develop a contraceptive incense that would not harm his body.

Kangxi had a good idea. It was enough for him and Ji Nai to have two sons and one daughter. As for Chengrui and Saiyin Chahun, no matter what the Empress Dowager was thinking, at least on the surface, the two princes of Zhongcui Palace would not be able to ascend the throne.

Unless all of Kangxi's other sons died, those who wanted to succeed him would not place their hopes on Chengrui and Saiyincha.

After Saiyinchahun started elementary school, he would use the excuse that Chengrui and Saiyinchahun were close, and use the rules to make Saiyinchahun move to the South Third School. The farther away they were, the less bound they would be.

Kangxi would send another child to the Empress Dowager to raise, whether it was a princess or a prince. With new hope, why would the Empress Dowager keep keeping an eye on Saiyin Chahun?

Is it more feasible to support a prince who is raised by the Empress Dowager and has no chance of becoming the emperor, or to support a prince who is his brother from the same mother and is close to Khorchin?

As for the child who was abandoned by Kangxi from the very beginning, he naturally felt sorry for him. However, people are biased, and the saying "the palm and the back of the hand are all flesh" is just a lie.

For Kangxi, his children with Ji Nai were naturally more important.

No matter how guilty Kangxi felt, he could not change his plan. The most he could do was to compensate the child from other sources.

Kangxi calculated everything very well, however, who could have imagined that Ji Nai would have such a strange dream?

It was not impossible for Kangxi to ignore Ji Nai's dream. As long as the child was not born, who would believe that the child in the dream was real? He could completely deceive himself and use this reason to let Ji Nai not think too much.

But that dream was not simple, and Ji Nai did not just treat it as a dream. She was really sad, sad for the child who almost could not be born.

At that time, Kangxi had doubts about Ji Nai, suspecting that she had somehow found out about the contraceptive incense and was putting on an act in front of him.

So, in just a moment, Kangxi changed from a tender and affectionate pillow partner to a cold but qualified emperor, looking at his sweetheart with indifference.

What was Kangxi thinking at that moment? Was he furious that Ji Nai had exposed his scheme? Or was he furious that his authority had been insulted?

Neither. At that moment, Kangxi was thinking that since Ji Nai already knew what he had done, why didn't he just confront him directly?

Why test?

Is it because he no longer trusts himself?

Kangxi was angry, sad and conflicted because he thought Ji Nai had changed. In her eyes, he was no longer the person who knew and loved her, but the Son of Heaven and the monarch.

It's really strange. Kangxi clearly hated having his dignity as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty offended the most.

Just as he ruthlessly dealt with Oboi and his cronies, and excluded the Niohuru family, to which Ebilun belonged, from the center of power, but at the same time gave them hope, allowing the Niohuru family to "work hard" on their own.

Just like he established the rule that "the empress is not allowed to interfere in politics", he did not take into account that he was supported by the Empress Dowager to sit on the throne.

Just like he pacified the Three Feudatories, established the Crown Prince, and checked and balanced the forces of all parties, all in order to become the one who held all the power and was the only one who was in power.

But when it came to Ji Nai, Kangxi was unwilling and even could not accept that she regarded him as an emperor rather than a husband.

Kangxi wondered if he was too greedy at times and that was the retribution.

Ji Nai was not acting at all. It was his own suspicion that made him misunderstand her. For this, Kangxi paid a very painful price - Ji Nai suffered from heart disease.

This heart disease was like a time bomb. Kangxi didn't know when it would suddenly explode and destroy his lover and happiness.
