Rong Fei is not honored

As a result, the concubine who wanted to have an "accidental encounter" was blocked by the people arranged by Liang Jiugong before she even showed up.

What a joke! Today's trip is related to how well all the servants in the Qianqing Palace will do their jobs for a long time in the future. In order to make his own life easier, Liang Jiugong is even willing to cooperate with Wei Zhu to guard against it together.

If this is the case, and those people are allowed to appear before His Majesty and disturb His Majesty's mood, Liang Jiugong will no longer be qualified to continue to be the chief steward of the Qianqing Palace.

It’s not that some people were angry with the servants, thinking that they were committing insubordination, but everyone knew that Liang Jiugong’s opinion was the Emperor’s opinion, so no matter how angry they were, they didn’t dare to make a fuss.

Some concubines who were stopped would even cover their faces and return to their palaces in shame, for fear of being caught and laughed at in person.

But in fact, they were overthinking it. The people who were secretly watching this scene were only concerned with guessing the Emperor's attitude and had no time to notice them, let alone come and laugh at them.

Chengrui and Saiyinchahun naturally noticed the mouse hiding in the dark, but they didn't care. In this palace, nothing is trivial as long as it is related to Ama.

Since they invited Ama to go to Zhongcui Palace to celebrate Yinfu's birthday, they knew that E'niang would reappear in everyone's sight, which was very dangerous.

However, danger often coexists with opportunity.

The news of the conferment of titles on the six palaces spread like wildfire. Chengrui and Saiyin Chahun naturally could not have been unaware of it. Although their mother was Rongfei, she was only conferred the title by imperial decree and no ceremony of canonization was held. She was still a little short of the official title of concubine.

When those people's status is confirmed, or even when they are replaced by later ones, Rong Fei, who has been forgotten or even despised by the emperor and has not yet been canonized, will definitely become the target of public criticism.

You have to know that there are only so many high-ranking concubine positions. If you want to climb up, you must either be conceited and unique, and be sure that the Emperor will never forget you, or be certain that there will be a position for you above the concubine position.

But is it possible? Even the Tonggiya and Borjigit clans, who had advantageous family backgrounds, wouldn't dare to be so sure, right?

Therefore, the safest way is to pull down those who are concubines or even imperial consorts. The more vacant positions there are, the greater their chances will be.

Chengrui and Saiyinchahun wanted to protect their mother, but they could only bow to the reality. They were just bald princes now, powerless and without any influence. How could they protect their mother?

All they could do was to let everyone in the palace know that their mother had not fallen out of favor. Only in this way would those people not act rashly.

Otherwise, considering Saiyin Chahun's personality, he would be crazy to help his father without any benefit.

Although Saiyin Chahun does have some feelings for his father, it depends on who he is compared with. If the object of comparison is his mother, Saiyin Chahun will naturally choose not to make her sad.

"Brother." Chengrui's attention was drawn back to the sister in his arms, "What's wrong?"

"Does Father not like Rongxian anymore?"

"How could that be? Did someone say something to Rong Xian?"

"But, but this is not what Ama wore this morning."

Chengrui didn't understand the relationship between the two for a moment, but he saw that his father just looked back and Rongxian immediately shrank into his arms.

Chengrui patted Rongxian comfortingly, feeling worried. Even though his mother was under house arrest, his father's attitude towards him and his brothers had not changed. Why did Rongxian become so resistant to his father?

"What happened, Ama?"

"What are you two siblings whispering about?"

Rongxian didn't expect that his father would be heard saying bad things about him, and he nervously grabbed his eldest brother's collar.

"Nothing, Rongxian just said that you didn't seem to be wearing this dress this morning."

Kangxi's expression suddenly became strange, but he said nothing and turned away.

Chengrui and Saiyin Chahun, who was standing beside him and heard everything that happened, looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. There must be something going on here.

When he reached the gate of Zhongcui Palace, Kangxi suddenly stopped. Looking at the beautiful figure standing at the door of the palace, he became timid and dared not go forward.

"Ama, what are you doing? Why don't you..."

Saiyinchahun stuck his head out and saw his mother at a glance. He was instantly happy and wanted to run past his father, but was stopped by his eldest brother.

Faced with his elder brother's serious face, Saiyin Chahun had no choice but to give in and urge his father who was standing in front without moving. Finally, he became too impatient and pushed his father forward, which made Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu's eyelids twitch.

Prince Saiyinchahun is too bold!

At this time, they should have jumped out and scolded the prince for his disrespectful behavior, but Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu did not dare to offend this little ancestor easily.

Wei Zhu signaled Liang Jiugong with her eyes to come forward, but Liang Jiugong pretended not to see it, lowered his head and rolled his eyes.

Do you think he is stupid?

Although Prince Saiyinchahun's behavior was indeed out of line, His Majesty did not say anything. He must be crazy to criticize this little ancestor in front of Concubine Rong and in front of all the princes and princesses in Zhongcui Palace.

Liang Jiugong was not wrong. At this time, Kangxi did not think that there was anything wrong with Saiyin Chahun's behavior. In fact, this was the result of his deliberate connivance.

Otherwise, if Kangxi himself was unwilling, how could a 7-year-old child push him?

Kangxi was "forced" to move forward under the force from behind, gradually shortening the distance between him and the person he had been thinking about day and night, and his heart was filled with excitement and joy.

But in the next moment, his heart sank when he saw the haggardness and weakness on Ji Nai's face that even the delicate makeup could not hide.

Kangxi strode forward, causing Saiyin Chahun, who was behind him and did not react in time, to almost fall due to inertia.

Before Ji Nai knelt down to salute, Kangxi grabbed her hand in time. Hearing the almost imperceptible low gasps of the person in front of him, Kangxi squeezed out a sentence with difficulty, "No need to be so polite."

Even though he had been mentally prepared, seeing Ji Nai's health deteriorate still had a certain impact on Kangxi.

He held Ji Nai's hand tightly, but tried his best to control his strength so as not to hurt Ji Nai.

"Because Yinzhi was weak, he had neither the third-day bath nor the full-month celebration. So I thought, on the occasion of Yinfu's birthday, I would bring Chengrui and others to Zhongcui Palace to celebrate Yinfu's birthday together, and also make up for Yinzhi's third-day bath and full-month celebration.

Rong Fei has no objection, right?"

"I dare not. Yinzhi is weak, so it is understandable that he does not have the third-day bath ceremony and the full-moon banquet." There was no change in the expression on Ji Nai's face. She still had a gentle smile on her face, as if she really had no objection to Kangxi's arrangements.

On the contrary, Chengrui and Saiyinchahun behind Kangxi changed their expressions immediately, especially Saiyinchahun, who shouted directly:

"Father, Yinzhi is Yinzhi, and Yinfu is Yinfu. How can their birthdays and the third day of their birth be put together? This is unfair to both Yinfu and Yinzhi."

Before Kangxi could say anything, Ji Nai scolded him, "Sainchahun! How can you speak to your father like that? It's too rude."

Kangxi sneered and said, "Speaking of rules, Rong Fei's rules are much better than before. It seems that you have made a lot of progress during this period of house arrest. No wonder the Empress Dowager is willing to plead for you." After that, he strode into the main hall.

Everyone saw Kangxi's attitude towards Ji Nai. Not to mention how uneasy and panicked the servants in Zhongcui Palace were, even Ji Nai's children became nervous.

Chengrui held Rongxian, whose eyes were red, and walked forward and asked, "Mother, are you okay?"

Ji Nai touched the little faces of Rong Xian and Cheng Rui, regretting that with his current physical condition, he simply did not have the strength to carry Rong Xian over. "It's okay, let's go in."

When everyone entered the hall, they saw Kangxi staring at Yinzhi on the couch, with a flickering light in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Yun Xu, who was standing by, seemed to have seen a savior and rushed over to complain to Ji Nai:

"You finally came in. You have no idea how terrifying Kangxi's expression was when he looked at Yinzhi! I almost thought he was going to strangle Yinzhi to death while you were away."

He wouldn't do that. No matter how complicated his feelings for the child were, he wouldn't really do it.
