Rong Fei is not honored

"I dare not! Your Majesty, please understand, sister...

Empress Dowager Cihe is extremely important in my heart, so I mentioned her subconsciously, not for the purpose of…"

"How dare you quibble!

If she hadn't relied on the fact that I would do this for my mother's sake, how could Tong Jia, a mere concubine, have the guts to offend the position of Concubine Youzi and even claim that Concubine Rong was not worthy of raising the royal heir!

In this case, only I and the two Empress Dowagers can tell her what her identity is!

He alarmed the heir to the throne, yet acted as if nothing had happened. Not only did he not repent, he even dared to violate palace rules and spread the news outside the palace."

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei blushed with shame. They didn't expect that they looked down on Rong Fei Ma Jia, who was born into a bannerman family. However, in front of the Emperor, the status of Ma Jia and their Tong Jia princesses was reversed.

Kangxi realized at a glance that his words not only failed to wake up the brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, but he was afraid that they were still blaming him for not valuing family affection.

"However, you are right. I do value kinship. Otherwise, I would not tolerate you repeatedly mentioning my mother to seek profit and absolve yourself of guilt.

However, the grace left by your mother will not protect you forever."

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not take advantage of Empress Dowager Cihe. I dare not.

If Your Majesty minds, I will never again mention Empress Dowager Cihe."

Kangxi stopped when he saw that things were going well, walked over and helped the two brothers up, sighing:

"That's not necessary. I always remember that the Tong family is my maternal family.

But I value kinship, and I am not only thinking about my mother, but also caring about the royal heir. Every prince and princess in this palace is my treasure and must not be coveted.

Anyone who dares to raise a hand towards them, no matter who it is, I will chop off their claws."

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei had never really thought of murdering the royal heir. After all, they looked down on even the legitimate prince who was already the crown prince, so how could they possibly take a prince born to a bondservant seriously?

In their eyes, if their princess gave birth to a prince, it was not certain who would inherit the throne.

Therefore, facing Kangxi's reprimand, the brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were a little frightened, but they did not feel guilty.

"Of course, of course. The princes and princesses are your bloodline, and every one of them is a treasure of the Qing Dynasty."

"Uncle, the royal heir is my bottom line. No matter who hurts my treasure, I will not let them go.

Don't even think that I will be cautious and show mercy when the time comes."

Kangxi patted Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei on the arms, and the implication was obvious.

What could Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei say? They could only play dumb and agree with His Majesty, repeatedly expressing their loyalty.

After leaving the imperial study, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei's faces immediately darkened.

"What does your Majesty mean?" Tong Guowei was both shocked and angry.

Tong Guogang shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! What do you think this place is? Are you going to die?"

Tong Guowei still knew what was right and wrong. He swallowed back the complaint that was on the tip of his tongue and pursed his lips tightly, for fear of offending his superiors.

But Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei's attitudes were so obvious, and the guards and servants around them were not fools, so how could they not see it? In the blink of an eye, several figures disappeared, one entered the imperial study, and the rest went to the harem.

After listening to the report from the visitor, Kangxi was not surprised at the reaction of Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei. He sneered:

"The Empress Dowager is wrong. I have indeed been too indulgent towards the Tong family."

Or did they think that since his mother died for him, he, as the emperor, should protect the Tong family forever? Even if he owed something, he owed it to his mother, not to these bastards who didn't treat her as a relative.

Therefore, even though Ji Nai and the crown prince almost got into trouble because of Tong Jia, Tong Jia and the Tong family were still able to pretend nothing happened and even put themselves in the position of victims.

Although Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were apologizing in every sentence just now, Kangxi could tell that they were not sincerely admitting their mistakes. Instead, their words and deeds were reminding him, the emperor, not to misunderstand his loved ones because of the slander of villains.

Even when mentioning that Kangxi had neglected Tonggiya during this period, the two did not restrain their complaints, or rather, they were deliberately expressing their dissatisfaction to Kangxi.

I'm afraid that in their eyes, he was confused and couldn't distinguish between relatives because he let his "close" cousin suffer injustice for another woman.

Since the Tong family wanted to use family affection to blackmail Kangxi, Kangxi might as well fight back with family affection.

Didn't the Tong family express their dissatisfaction with the fact that Tong Jia was neglected? Then Kangxi stated that the safety of the royal heir was his bottom line, and anyone who dared to murder the royal heir would only end up dead.

You frequently mention Empress Dowager Cihe and your bloodline, aren't you trying to get Kangxi to pay more attention to his own maternal family and cousin? Okay, then Kangxi will do as the Tong family wishes.

However, Kangxi's own bloodline was naturally closer than his maternal relatives. Whether in terms of bloodline or status, the heir to the throne was far more important than the Tonggiya clan.

Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were not fools, otherwise Kangxi would not have wanted to use his in-laws. At most, he would have supported the Tong family for the sake of his mother and let them live a rich and idle life.

I think today's warning is enough to make the Tong family and even the Tong Jia family in the palace behave themselves for a while.

Don't always think about using the people left by your mother to bully Ji Nai. Whenever Kangxi thought of the little tricks that Liang Jiugong reported and that Tong Jia had secretly done, he couldn't help but have a heart attack.

The people in this palace are all smart. Although Ji Nai was under house arrest, after seeing that her children were still favored and that the treatment in Zhongcui Palace was the same as usual, they all understood that Rong Fei was still the same Rong Fei and they could not touch her.

There is only Tong Jia, and I don’t know whether she is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Clearly, Liang Jiugong had stopped her several times from withholding Ji Nai's food, and the servants who helped her were arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment, but she still didn't understand that she, the emperor, was protecting Concubine Rong, and she continued to take action against Ji Nai.

But what she did were just some small actions that were not very harmful but disgusting, instead of directly poisoning Ji Nai and trying to kill him.

Even if Kangxi was impatient, he would not execute Tong Jia for such trivial matters. After all, she was his mother's relative.

So during this period, Kangxi suffered from severe headaches and was troubled.

Fortunately, the Tong family couldn't sit still because he had neglected Tong Jia, so they took the initiative to come to him. So don't blame him for taking the opportunity to pressure them.

After solving a problem, Kangxi was in a good mood and decided to go see Chengrui.

Illness comes like a mountain falling and goes like a thread being pulled out. Although Chengrui's condition improved a lot after getting Kangxi's promise, he was still very weak.

Following the advice of the imperial physician, Kangxi ordered Chengrui to stay in bed and recuperate.

"How do you feel today?" Kangxi looked at Chengrui, whose face looked a little rosier but still not as good as before, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

If Ji Nai saw Cheng Rui like this, he would be so sad. No, not at all. That cruel woman only cares about the baby in her belly now, and she doesn't care about them, father and son.

Immersed in his own sour mood, Kangxi didn't notice at all that Chengrui's gaze passed over him and met Liang Jiugong behind him.

And Liang Jiugong... Liang Jiugong's evasive eyes and unnatural expression all revealed his guilty conscience.

Liang Jiugong remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was desperately shouting: Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me!

He really couldn't do these little tricks under the Emperor's nose. His heart really couldn't take it.

Or, should I just let go next time and give Wei Zhu more opportunities to accompany me?

Especially when he came to the South Third Institute, Wei Zhu was always in charge.

Otherwise, if this happens a few more times, even if he doesn't have a heart disease, he will be scared and develop one.

No, no, that old guy Wei Zhu is so smart. If he finds out something and then complains to the Emperor, he will be finished.

Even if there was a reason, His Majesty would not allow a traitorous servant to stay by his side. But he was really innocent, he did not want to betray His Majesty, he was forced to do so!

The masters of the Zhongcui Palace, no matter whether they are big or small, are all ancestors.

Whenever Liang Jiugong thought of how he was forced to betray the Emperor, he couldn't help but bite his handkerchief and sob.
