Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 58 Lovesickness

"Empress, what are you doing?" The wet nurse wanted to stop Ji Nai from carrying the prince out, and even wanted to snatch him away.

"How outrageous!" Ji Nai scolded loudly. He had lived in the harem for decades in his previous life, so he naturally knew what these servants were like, especially those around the princes. There were many who alienated their biological mothers and tried to control their masters.

Is it because I have been too nice to this nanny recently that she thinks I am easy to bully?

"My queen, I am not saying anything bad to you. Our Prince Chengrui is the first son of His Majesty. He has a very noble status and cannot afford any mistakes. It's okay that you were fooling around before. After all, you are his biological mother and I can't say anything. But you want to take Prince Chengrui out now. This is absolutely not allowed. It's freezing outside. If there is any problem, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to His Majesty and the Grand Empress Dowager."

There was a hint of complacency in the wet nurse's expression, as if she felt that she had finally got hold of Ji Nai's weakness, so she changed her humble attitude and became more arrogant.

If Ji Nai was really a young concubine in her teens, she might have been frightened. From then on, all of Chengrui's affairs were decided by the wet nurse, and Chengrui's biological mother lost her voice.

That's right, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager always showed Chengrui's specialness, just like Yinzhi in his previous life. It was this eldest prince who forced the prince into a desperate situation.

In addition, the wet nurse had witnessed Kangxi's favor for Chengrui, which nourished her ambition. If she could control such a prince, not only herself but also the wet nurse's husband's family would benefit.

"Xiao Anzi, take the wet nurse out to wake her up." Xiao Anzi had been suppressing his anger since the moment the wet nurse dared to offend his master. Now that he received the master's order, he dragged the person out without hesitation. He also ordered two eunuchs to force the wet nurse to kneel down and told her not to stand up without the master's order.

Ji Nai wrapped Chengrui in a quilt. Maybe it was too hot in the room and Chengrui felt uncomfortable. He kept moving around and the swaddling clothes fell apart again just as he was wrapped.

Ji Nai comforted him, "Chengrui, be good. Mother will take you to see the Emperor." Upon hearing this, Chengrui actually stopped moving. Ji Nai just found it funny.

Along the way, Yu Sheng and Xiao Anzi supported him, and behind him was Li Ma and two strong and sturdy cleaning maids, who were afraid that the master's feet would slip, so they could cushion the master in time. Fortunately, Ji Nai knew the importance of the matter and took every step steadily.

Chengrui is not light anymore, and Ji Nai's arms are sore from walking all the way, but she still refuses to let others hold her.

Firstly, she was worried, always feeling that others were not as careful as she was. Even if he really fell, her motherly instinct would make her protect Chengrui, but it was not certain about others. It was not that she doubted the loyalty of her servants, but it was an instinct of self-protection when encountering a crisis.

Secondly, Ji Nai also knew that what happened today was not safe in the eyes of others, but he couldn't bear the pitiful look of Chengrui waiting for his father, because it was all because of that bastard who didn't come for so long. Ji Nai was afraid that he would be scolded when he met Kangxi later, so he wanted to hug Chengrui and use him as a shield.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong, who learned the news, hurried out and said, "My ancestors, why are you here?" This was actually a bit disrespectful, but Liang Jiugong really didn't expect that Master Ma Jia would bring the young master here in the wind and snow. In case something happened on the way, Liang Jiugong didn't dare to think about it, so it was no wonder that he lost his composure.

Liang Jiugong really wanted to welcome the two ancestors in immediately, otherwise he would be scolded if he delayed for a while. But this was the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and he really didn't dare to break the rules. He gritted his teeth and went in to report: "Your Majesty, Master Ma Jia is here with the little prince."

"Who?" Kangxi couldn't believe his ears. After getting a positive answer from Liang Jiugong, he couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and walked out. When he passed Liang Jiugong, he kicked him and said, "You little dog slave, how dare you stop me?"

Liang Jiugong touched his buttocks, wanting to cry but without tears. He didn't dare to stop them, but the rules of the Qianqing Palace forced him to stop them. If he really let Master Ma Jia in, the two ancestors might be fine, but he would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

As soon as Kangxi went out, he saw two faces, one big and one small, smiling at him. He raised his lips unconsciously. The next second, the cold wind whistled past, which sobered Kangxi up a little. "Nonsense, you dare to bring Chengrui out in such weather."

Ji Nai deliberately made trouble and glared at Kangxi, saying, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Can I come out and blow the cold wind? I know that you have not cared about me since Chengrui was born."

"What am I still standing here for? I'd better not get in the way of His Majesty." Having said that, Ji Nai stuffed Chengrui into Kangxi's arms, then turned around and was about to leave.

Kangxi grabbed Ji Nai's arm and watched her act quietly.

"Originally, Chengrui has not seen the Emperor for too long. I really feel sorry for the child, but I also think that Your Majesty is very busy and must not have time, so I took the risk to bring him out to see you."

As she spoke, she wiped away her nonexistent tears with her hands and continued, "As a result, not only did I accuse my concubine of not acting like a real mother, but even His Majesty blamed me for almost harming Chengrui."

Kangxi's face turned cold, "Did a servant bully you?" Ji Nai ignored him and continued, "I am Chengrui's biological mother, how could I not feel sorry for him? Your Majesty has not seen Chengrui's appearance. In a few days, I am afraid he will be suffering from lovesickness."

Kangxi could no longer maintain his cold expression. He pointed at Ji Nai's forehead and said helplessly, "What do you mean by lovesickness? You are a mother and you can only say such things."

"What? Your Majesty doesn't believe it?" Ji Nai said confidently, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Nanny Li." Kangxi looked at Nanny Li with doubt. When he saw Nanny Li nod affirmatively, he couldn't tell the feeling in his heart.

Kangxi turned to look at Chengrui and saw him grinning at him with his eyes sparkling, and anyone could see the joy in them.

Kangxi subconsciously hugged Chengrui tighter and apologized to Ji Nai for the first time: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that." Liang Jiugong's legs went weak and he thought to himself, this ancestor is getting more and more powerful. Now he can even ask His Majesty to apologize.

Only after hearing Kangxi's apology did Ji Nai feel satisfied. He slowly walked to Kangxi's side, and then was hugged by him. Then the family of three walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Ji Nai and Cheng Rui were wearing very thick clothes, but Kangxi had just stayed in the palace. In just a short while, his hands and feet were already cold, but his heart was hot.

After untying the heavy swaddling clothes, Chengrui's hands and feet were no longer bound, and he fluttered to climb onto Kangxi's body. Only when he successfully nestled into Kangxi's arms and hugged his arms did he sigh with satisfaction.

Kangxi was moved by Chengrui's action, his whole heart was filled with happiness, and he couldn't help but kiss Chengrui on the cheek. Ji Nai's eyes were wide open, she really didn't think Kangxi would do this.

He was reserved and would not easily reveal his emotions even to his own children. This was a common problem in this era, let alone an emperor.
