Rong Fei is not honored

The prince is still young. As the prince's in-laws, not only do they not speak and act with caution, but they also bring disaster to the prince. It's really unreasonable.

Even if his brain was really confused, he still had his eyes. Didn't he see that the Emperor's face looked very bad?

Kangxi was indeed in a bad mood. Chengrui had just recovered from his illness, and Ji Nai was not at the dinner party tonight, so wouldn't his old father have to take care of him a little more?

Finally, what did he see?

Even the servants around Yinreng dared to look down on Chengrui!

Kangxi naturally knew that Yinreng was still young and the attitudes of the servants around him had nothing to do with him, but these dogs dared to ignore the prince. Whose power were they relying on?

Is it the Hesheli family? No, it all comes down to their master being Yinreng, the crown prince, while his Chengrui is just an ordinary prince who was disqualified from competing early on due to his frail health.

But who is responsible for Chengrui becoming like this?

Kangxi was unhappy, and since he was unhappy, he didn't want others to be happy.

"Liang Jiugong, bring all the dishes on my table to Chengrui."

"Yes."

As the most watched emperor, Kangxi's every move was naturally watched by everyone, so his instructions to Liang Jiugong were also noticed by everyone.

Liang Jiugong was indeed the most useful servant around Kangxi. Even without his master's order, he still "taken the initiative" to remove a dish from Chengrui's table when serving the dishes.

When Kangxi saw this, he turned to Nianhulu and said, "Chengrui doesn't like this."

Niuhulu was stunned at first, but then she reacted and replied with a smile: "I will remember it."

There was silence in the hall, but everyone was in a completely different state of mind: Is His Majesty so concerned about Prince Chengrui?

But that’s right, after all, it’s the first child, so it’s normal to pay more attention to him.

What a normal thing! Not to mention His Majesty, even these gentlemen sitting below, have they ever cared about their children's diet and daily life? They just left it to their wives.

Finally, they even call it "women work outside, men work inside", but they don't seem to put much effort into the upbringing of the future male heirs of the family.

Anyway, if the child is successful, then it means "this child is like me"; if the child is not successful, then it means "a loving mother often spoils her child."

Even those who think they care enough about their children are only concerned about their sons' studies. There are really few who "care" as much as Kangxi.

(In history, Kangxi treated his beloved Yinreng in this way. In fact, it cannot be summed up by the phrase "love for his son". He was involved in everything and had a strong desire to control him.)

Therefore, in their opinion, it was already horrifying that His Majesty even knew what Prince Chengrui liked and disliked to eat.

Kangxi seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere in the hall and continued to instruct Chengrui:

"It's a good thing that you care about your brother, but don't be too hard on yourself. I see that you haven't eaten much. Is it because the food is not tasty, or is it because you have a poor appetite?"

Cheng Rui stood up and replied, "Father, the food is delicious, but I'm not hungry yet."

"That's good."

The Grand Empress Dowager glanced at the father and son who were oblivious to the others, then glanced at the crowd below with strange expressions, and reminded: "Your Majesty, although Chengrui is weak, he is old enough after all and can take care of himself."

However, you still have several young princes and princesses who are unable to take care of themselves, so don't favor one over the other.

Kangxi understood what the Empress Dowager meant, smiled and said nothing, but gave dishes to all the princes and princesses, even the clan members were not left out.

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so kind and loving. I must learn from him so that the Lady can never blame me for not taking care of her children."

Chang Ning was the son of the late emperor and a prince of the Qing Dynasty. How could his wife really blame Chang Ning for not caring about the child? Everyone knew that Prince Gong was just being funny when he said this, so they all laughed along.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again. No matter what was in your mind, you had to smile. Even the brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei laughed out loud, although the smiles looked forced.

But Soetu just couldn't smile at all, and he was so obviously different from the crowd.

Didn't Suo Etu know that his behavior was too abrupt? He knew it, but he really couldn't laugh.

Even though the Crown Prince was eventually given food by His Majesty, if everyone had it, wouldn’t that be the same as no one having it?

In Soetu's mind, Yinreng was the crown prince, and naturally he was more noble than all his brothers and sisters, so his treatment should be the most special.

So what's wrong with the servants around him being on guard against Prince Chengrui? One is the legitimate son, and the other is the eldest. Even if Prince Chengrui is weak, it doesn't mean that he has no chance at all.

Moreover, as "seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister", those servants represent the face of the prince, so it is understandable that their attitude is a little arrogant.

As a result, the Emperor became dissatisfied with this and even deliberately praised Prince Chengrui in front of everyone. Wasn't this a deliberate slap in the face of the Crown Prince?

Looking at the confused and ignorant prince, Soetu suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility. The queen had passed away, and the emperor was partial to him, so he was the only one who could maintain the prince's face.

Suo Etu was about to speak, drawing everyone's attention to the prince, and then...

"Sainchahun! What are you doing!" Kangxi's scolding successfully restored peace to the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Prince Saiyinchahun, who had been scolded, not only did not show any sign of panic, but instead started to act like a spoiled child to the Emperor with a smile.

And His Majesty... Although His Majesty had a stern face, there was no anger in his eyes, and even... there was even a smile in his eyes?

Everyone thought they were dazzled, but when they rubbed their eyes and looked again, the Emperor still had the same expression, so everyone fell silent.

Well, His Majesty is not scolding Prince Saiyinchahun, it is clearly the father and son who are joking.

Even so, the Empress Dowager was still distressed. She had been silent all this time, but she finally spoke out, "Sainchahun certainly didn't mean it. Your Majesty, please don't scare the child by speaking so harshly."

Everyone was speechless as they looked at Prince Saiyinchahun, who was still lively and smiling cunningly. No matter how they looked at him, they could not find any sign that he was scared. In fact, after being defended by the Empress Dowager, a look of smugness appeared on his face.

Now His Majesty should be unable to resist and really teach Prince Saiyinchahun a lesson, right? As a result, His Majesty really came down the steps of the Empress Dowager and let the troublemaker go.

No wonder there are always rumors in the palace that this prince is a devil who always gets into trouble, but the Emperor can't do anything about him.

Now it seems that it is not that His Majesty is worried about punishing the Empress Dowager, but Prince Saiyinchahun's character was probably bred by both His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.

Hiss, think about Prince Yinhua, Prince Yinfu and Princess Rongxian who were raised by His Majesty in his own Qianqing Palace. The one who received the same treatment as them was the crown prince who had lost the protection of his mother.

Did Concubine Rong really fall out of favor? Why doesn't it look like that?

Even though Rong Fei's children were already favored, now that Zhongcui Palace is closed, her children will be affected to some extent.

Not to mention that the Emperor was angry with her because her mother had fallen out of favor, but at least she shouldn't have been held in the palm of his hand as always.

Even if Concubine Rong really fell out of favor, just look at her children who were regarded as treasures by the Emperor, and she herself was still pregnant, so it would not be difficult for her to turn things around.

If you think about it this way, the water in the palace is really deep.

After New Year's Eve, the first month of the lunar calendar begins. This year also happens to be a general election year, with both the major and minor elections taking place simultaneously. The joy of the New Year hasn't yet faded, but the palace is already busy again.

Perhaps because he was worried that Concubine Nianhulu could not handle it alone, or perhaps because the Emperor's anger had subsided, Tong Jia, who had been treated coldly since entering the palace, came back into everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty actually gave Tong Jia the power to assist in managing palace affairs?" After hearing the news, Huipin was shocked and angry, but not very surprised.

"Yes, it seems His Majesty doesn't intend to keep Tong Jia as a concubine forever." Nanny Wu frowned and said worriedly, "If this happens, our power will be even less."
