Rong Fei is not honored

Kangxi was afraid that Ji Nai would give birth suddenly, and thought it would be better for him to stay with him, so he basically stayed in Zhongcui Palace in August. It was not until then that Kangxi learned that Ji Nai's calves would swell, cramp suddenly, and he would get up frequently at night. Ji Nai was afraid that it would affect Kangxi's sleep, so he persuaded him not to accompany him at night.

Kangxi said nothing at the time, and when Ji Nai thought he had acquiesced, he came again the next night, completely ignoring the complaints from the harem. Even when someone complained to the Grand Empress Dowager, he said bluntly: "There is only this one child in the harem, and I am really afraid that something will happen. It was fine before because I was busy with government affairs, but now that I have some free time, I naturally want to keep her."

Kangxi brought up the child, and the Empress Dowager had no choice. What the Emperor said was right. The crab roe paste incident had just happened, so it was normal for him to be afraid. Besides, the Emperor did not stop favoring others just because of Ma Jia. When he first took power, he never stayed in Zhongcui Palace and rarely went there during the day.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager was not sensitive to Ma Jia's favor, and the fact that she mentioned this matter to Kangxi must have been brought up in her presence.

Kangxi was not unaware that many people were dissatisfied with this, but he still went his own way. In Kangxi's heart, Ji Nai was different, and he subconsciously distinguished Ji Nai from other women. He did not allow Ji Nai to weaken his feelings for her, nor did he allow the two of them to get along in the same way as with other people.

So he stayed in Zhongcui Palace and stayed by Ji Nai's side. He would help Ji Nai get up at night and massage her calves when she was drowsy.

The servants in Zhongcui Palace were frightened by Kangxi's behavior, so Liang Jiugong warned them and strictly prohibited them from spreading the news. Liang Jiugong sneered at the lack of knowledge of these servants. However, when the two masters had the best relationship, they always avoided people, so only he could see a little bit.

Liang Jiugong had previously thought that Concubine Ma Jia was pregnant and could no longer serve him in the emperor's bedchamber. Although the emperor missed his mistress, he was not as affectionate as before and only wanted to see if the little prince could grow up safely and become the support of Concubine Ma Jia. Unexpectedly, the emperor came to his senses himself. Concubine Ma Jia was still fine, but he could not stand the fact that they were drifting apart, so he rushed to save the relationship.

But even at this point, His Majesty himself has not realized his abnormality. When he realizes it one day, well, so, Master Ma Jia's good days are still to come.

By the end of August, Ji Nai's stomach was still motionless. Kangxi became anxious, and even the Empress Dowager became restless. However, the results of the daily pulse examinations by the imperial physicians were that the heir was fine, but the time had not come yet.

"They say that when the time is right, the baby will fall. Why isn't this baby coming out?" The Empress Dowager twirled her Buddhist beads, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Maybe the child is stable, so there is no need to worry. After all, the child is healthy."

The Empress Dowager heard the deep meaning behind Su Malagu's words, "What's going on? Is there any noise in the palace?"

"These are just jealous words from ignorant people. Our little prince is the son of the dragon, so he is naturally extraordinary. It is normal for him to be born later."

"How dare you!" The Empress Dowager understood what Su Malagu meant. Someone in the palace was saying that the child in Concubine Ma Jia's belly was a demon. "Has it been spread out?" The Empress Dowager was worried that if such a rumor spread to the previous dynasty, the Aisin-Gioro family's rule would be unstable.

"Don't worry, Grand Empress Dowager. The people guarding the palace gate knew the seriousness of this matter, and they immediately arrested the person, blocked his mouth, and quietly sent him here." "So if it weren't for our people at the palace gate, this matter would have been reported to the front court." The Grand Empress Dowager sneered, "What a vicious mind! Once it was reported to the front court, even if it was not true, the ministers would put pressure on the emperor to execute Ma Jia and her son."

The servants in the Cining Palace all knelt down and begged the Empress Dowager to calm down, but how could the Empress Dowager not be angry? The fighting in the harem would affect the previous dynasty. Once a precedent was set, there would never be peace in the emperor's harem in the future.

"How can a queen be like this?" When the queen regained her favor, the Empress Dowager returned the palace power to her. At that time, the emperor came to ask for it in person and mentioned the Hesheli family. Of course, she had to give the emperor this face. But it has only been a short time, and trouble has arisen again, which shows that the queen is incompetent. No, maybe the queen is also involved.

Su Malagu naturally knew that her princess hated the queen so much that she was always dissatisfied with the queen. In fact, this matter was spread very obscurely and only spread quietly in private. If they had not taken root in the palace for decades, they would not have stopped it in time. Didn’t you see that even the emperor hadn’t received the news yet?

But she would not persuade her again. The Empress Dowager had lived a hard life. Couldn't she live as she pleased at this time? Anyway, the master knew that no matter how much he hated Hesheli, he would not do anything openly.

After the Empress Dowager dealt with the matter privately, she told Kangxi everything, "Your Majesty should understand that it is because you have been staying in Zhongcui Palace for a month that some people hate you." Even though the Empress Dowager did not think that Kangxi would favor Ma Jia alone, she still warned him a few words.

Finally, he only mentioned the Queen lightly, "As for the Queen, ah, maybe she really didn't know this time. After all, she is young and needs more experience."

As expected, Kangxi said with guilt: "My grandson is unfilial and I have to trouble the royal grandmother to worry about me."

After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Kangxi thought of the words of the Grand Empress Dowager, and thought that those restless women were really annoying. He had only accompanied Ji Nai when she was about to give birth, but even so, he still made others jealous. Why didn't anyone dare to do anything when he favored the queen? It was just because they looked down on Ji Nai's background.

Perhaps the emperors all have a rebellious mentality. The more they are stopped, the more they want to do it. Thinking of the promise he had made to protect Ji Nai, as long as she did not change, he would give her everything she deserved. Kangxi silently changed the title of noble lady he originally wanted to confer to a concubine. Although this would be more conspicuous, only an absolute status could curb the courage of some people. Moreover, the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor also deserved a concubine.

(It is not an exaggeration to say that she was first appointed as a concubine. Concubine Yi was childless, but she was first appointed as a concubine.)

By September, Ji Nai's stomach was still not moving, so just like in her previous life, she followed the advice of the imperial physician and used drugs to induce labor.

Because they were using medicine to induce labor, they chose a day off work. This was also Kangxi's day, and he didn't want to miss the birth of his eldest son because of the early morning court.

After Ji Nai took the medicine, she soon felt the familiar pain coming, and she was helped into the delivery room. Although many years had passed, after experiencing it again, Ji Nai still remembered the past memories, so she was not panicked at all, but just looked forward to seeing Cheng Rui again.

Without Ji Nai's instructions, Yuan Xu was like turning on a radar, keeping a close eye on the people in the delivery room, fearing that someone would have bad intentions and harm her little baby. This was Yuan Xu's nickname for the children. She refused to be a godmother because she didn't want to be a mother, but this did not affect her love for the children, so she unilaterally decided on the nickname for the children.

It may be that both the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to this pregnancy, or it may be that the women had been screened several times beforehand, so the delivery went smoothly.

Instead, Kangxi was fidgeting outside the delivery room. He suddenly felt a little scared. Maybe he shouldn't have let Ji Nai give birth to the child. That way she wouldn't be in danger. Anyway, he wouldn't be short of children.

But when he thought about how much Ji Nai loved children, if he didn't let her have one, would she blame him? Moreover, a mother is honored by her son, and a concubine without children is weak after all. Besides, without a child, he had no reason to promote Ji Nai.

Just as Kangxi was lost in thought, a baby's cry was heard in the room.
