Rong Fei is not honored

Ever since the quarrel with his mistress Rong Fei, His Majesty has never been in a good mood. Even if he is happy, it will only appear briefly, and then he will suddenly change his expression. The palace servants have gotten used to it.

Liang Jiugong retreated silently, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. He even wished he could switch places with Wei Zhu, wishing he was the one who was ordered by the Emperor to do the job.

Oh, no, why does this thought seem so familiar?

Kangxi was not angry for no reason. He was thinking of a heartless woman. If Nara was not so concerned about Yinzhen, then Ji Nai was too concerned.

Everything concerning children must be taken seriously.

Kangxi used to like Ji Nai's motherly love, but now, he just wishes Ji Nai could be more selfish and think more about himself.

Isn't it just a child? Ji Nai already has four sons and one daughter, so how could he be short of children? But Ji Nai insisted on tearing himself apart over that child, not even caring about falling out of favor.

Whenever Kangxi thought about the fact that Ji Nai had not done anything to win him back, he couldn't help but get angry.

Now the child is born, both mother and child are fine, but there is still no movement in Zhongcui Palace.

Kangxi did not forget what Ji Nai said about "unequal status", but he did not think this was the main reason.

When they first met, Ji Nai was not unaware of his own identity, but they still fell in love.

If Ji Nai was really afraid of his status as emperor, she would be like other women in the palace, and there would be no chance for them to even start a relationship.

Kangxi felt that the key reason was that something had happened to the child, and Ji Nai was too worried about the child, so he began to fear the imperial power, but in essence he still did not trust him and was afraid that he would not be able to protect his child in the face of absolute power.

His Ji Nai finally chose the dumbest method - to anger Kangxi.

Didn’t Ji Nai ever think about how miserable Ji Nai and his children would be in the future if Emperor Kangxi really resented Ji Nai and broke with him?

Even if something unexpected happened, how would Kangxi treat the culprit who killed Ji Nai, even if that was his own child?

By then, the two would "fall out" with each other, and Ji Nai might not even be able to use their old relationship to trap Kangxi and make him take good care of the children.

Kangxi touched his aching heart. Since that day, he felt uncomfortable in his heart from time to time. However, Kangxi did not dare to ask the imperial physician to see him, for fear of leaving behind the pulse record.

If the Empress Dowager's people knew about this, I'm afraid they would kill Ji Nai without any regard for the consequences.

Thinking of the Empress Dowager, Kangxi's eyes deepened a little.

He would not let go of anyone who dared to hurt Ji Nai. However, he would let go of other people, but he could not touch the Empress Dowager easily.

But when Kangxi thought of Borjigit, who had just come for the general election and was waiting outside the palace for the imperial edict to enter the palace, an idea came to his mind.

"Liang Jiugong, Guo Luoluo is deeply favored by me. I promote her to concubine Yi, enjoy the same rank as a concubine, and grant her the residence in Yikun Palace."

Liang Jiugong was shocked. He knew that Guo Luoluo was a palace maid selected this year. Because of her bright and beautiful appearance and free and easy personality, she was sent directly to the emperor. In the past month, she had served the emperor in the bed the most times.

But what’s the point of being favored more? Except for the group of old people like Rong Fei’s master, few of the young bondservants who were selected to enter the palace could become official concubines after serving in the emperor’s bed.

Just like Jue Chan, everyone said that there would be another Rong Fei in the palace, but what happened? She is still a palace maid.

And this Guo Luoluo, had only been in the palace for a short time, but she had already successfully changed her status. The rank of a concubine was nothing, the key was the title.

Even the former concubine Rong was given the title only after she gave birth to a prince.

But this person not only had her own title right from the start, but was also able to enjoy the same status as a concubine. This was truly remarkable.

Yes, the rates for concubines are indeed not as good as those for consorts, but don’t you look at who those people are who enjoy the rates for consorts? One is the young Huifei Borjigit, one is Niuhulu, and one is Tonggiya. Either they have a good family background or they are related to the royal family.

What's more, enjoying the title of concubine meant that in the Emperor's mind, Guo Luoluo was at least a concubine. It was just that due to various reasons, she was not actually canonized in the end.

With such a high starting point, I'm afraid her future promotion will be faster than Rong Fei's. After all, Guo Luoluo is not pregnant yet.

It’s no wonder that Liang Jiugong compared Guo Luoluo and Rong Fei, because... after the news spread, other people thought the same.

Everyone who heard the news was in a daze. They had been suffocated by Concubine Rong in the past. Even after Concubine Rong fell out of favor, they never expected to be favored more. But now there was another "Concubine Rong", no, someone even more powerful than Concubine Rong. Would they still have a way to survive in the future?

Cining Palace

The Empress Dowager asked Su Malagu, "Tell me, is this true this time? Or is it another trick by the Emperor to deceive me?"

Before, Rong Fei suddenly fell out of favor. Others didn’t know why, but the Empress Dowager did know. In fact, she not only knew that Rong Fei had "broken up" with the Emperor for the sake of her child, but also knew exactly what they had argued about.

However, even if the quarrel was real and many of the words were said, even the current Empress Dowager would not dare to say them in front of the Emperor, and after that, the Emperor seemed to really ignore Rong Fei, but the Empress Dowager still did not believe it.

How could it be such a coincidence that the Empress Dowager had already made up her mind to take Concubine Rong's life while she was giving birth, and Concubine Rong suddenly fell out of favor.

The Empress Dowager suspected that the Emperor and Concubine Rong were working together to deceive her, and besides, the Emperor was not without a criminal record.

"Master, there is something I want to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"If you don't know, then don't say anything." The Empress Dowager said angrily, "You are still pretending in front of me."

Su Malagu smiled, not paying attention to the Empress Dowager's words. She said, "Actually, I think you are too cautious."

"Be cautious? Even the Emperor dares to fool me. If I'm not more cautious, I'm afraid I'll be treated like a fool and fooled."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager got angry. She minded the emperor's exclusive favor, wasn't it for Xuanye's own good?

Isn’t his father’s teaching enough?

The Empress Dowager originally thought that Xuanye, who was deeply poisoned by the evil of Fulin's exclusive favoritism towards Concubine Dong E, would be able to think more clearly, but in the end he still plunged into the gentle arms of Concubine Rong.

"But even the late emperor, no matter how much he 'favored' Consort Dong E, didn't he still favor other concubines?" Otherwise, how did the emperor have these brothers?

In fact, sometimes Su Malagu wondered, considering that the late emperor had many concubines and gave birth to many children, could it really be said that he was the only one favored?

"Why? Is Guo Luoluo a beauty even more beautiful than Concubine Rong?"

"That's not the case. It's just that their beauty is completely different. One is like water, the other is like fire."

"Really?" The Queen Mother became interested and decided to take a good look at the Emperor's "new favorite concubine" on the next greeting day.

"Princess, Your Majesty is the Emperor after all. Even an ordinary man wouldn't be able to stand being scolded by his wives and concubines, let alone Your Majesty?

That day, even for the sake of the child, what Rong Fei said was a bit too much. Even I, the servant, felt sorry for His Majesty, let alone His Majesty himself.

This servant feels that even if His Majesty did treat Rong Fei differently before, after what happened, I’m afraid there won’t be much affection left.”

"But the premise is that those words were really said by Rong Fei." The emperor did not teach Rong Fei deliberately for the sake of acting.

"Do you think that the Emperor and Concubine Rong could have come up with such outrageous words if they weren't sincere? Or do you think His Majesty is truly a suspicious and ruthless emperor who would really kill his own child for the sake of checks and balances?"

"Xuan Ye is the most soft-hearted." If not, she would not have chosen Xuan Ye from the several princes left by Fulin.

"Yes, His Majesty is a soft-hearted child. Even though he is the emperor now, his heart is still not hard enough. That's why some people jump out from time to time to stir up trouble." Only Su Malagu dared to say that His Majesty was a child.
