Rong Fei is not honored

Kangxi's anger had long since subsided. Seeing Chengrui and Saiyinchahun acting strangely, he knew that their buttock injuries had not yet healed, so he gave up his original plan to punish them by making them copy books.

He could even joke with a smile, "Next time, even if you want to convict me, you should at least give me a chance to explain."

Cheng Rui and Saiyinchahun lowered their heads even further.

When his two sons were being wicked, Emperor Kangxi wanted nothing more than to personally beat them, but when they were pitiful, he was truly heartbreaking. Although Kangxi was furious at the time, looking back now, his actions were understandable.

For the sake of his mother, he stood up to his father, the emperor, showing commendable filial piety and a pure heart. If they knew that Ji Nai had been wronged, but chose to settle the matter to please him, Kangxi would be displeased.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Kangxi bestowed many gifts, including the precious horse and bow and arrows that the two had longed for.

Previously, he had worried that Cheng Rui's body wouldn't be able to withstand these things, and that Saiyinchahun would cause even more trouble, so he had always refused. This time, in order to make up for his two injured sons, he simply let them have their way.

To outsiders, this reward, which symbolizes compensation, further confirmed the previous speculation.

After a fierce internal struggle, Consort Nara finally made up her mind. Holding Wan Fu, whose complexion had finally regained some color, she murmured, "Mother will definitely protect you."

……

During this period, Wuya was having a hard time. It wasn't because Consort Tong, who was above her, had done anything. After all, Consort Tong wasn't that stupid. With Liang Jiugong around and still hoping for the child in her womb, she wouldn't make her actions so obvious.

However, she didn't know why her scheming against Consort Rong had incurred the wrath of the masses. The various petty tricks employed were endless, and although Uya Shi didn't take them seriously, their sheer number was overwhelming.

In particular, it seemed like Tongjia was deliberately trying to disgust her. Every time she brought something up, she would lay it out in front of her. If it weren't for Wuya's strong will, she would have become suspicious long ago, let alone be able to take good care of her pregnancy.

Secondly, Chengqian Palace was too lively. Although the main palace was occupied by Consort Tong, there was also Consort Shen, who was backed by the Empress Dowager.

Consort Tong and Consort Shen were already at odds, but they had to "look after" Lady Wuya due to the Emperor's will. With old and new grudges piling up, it was no wonder that they erupted. Although their conflict wouldn't directly involve Lady Wuya, it would inevitably have some impact.

In addition, with the Grand Eunuch of Qianqing Palace watching her every day, Lady Wuya could not do anything and could not relax at all.

As time went on, Uya really felt that she was going to have a miscarriage.

Fortunately, Chief Steward Liang couldn't stay with a nobody like Wuya forever. After staying for more than half a month, he went back to serve His Majesty.

Wuya was puzzled. Even if she had left a trace somewhere, why didn't His Majesty just send someone to investigate? Why did he have to go to such lengths and have Liang Jiugong personally keep an eye on her?

Or is it that His Majesty truly cares about the child in his womb? Is this care because of the child itself, or because of Lady Tongjia? If it's the former, is she really going to hand the child over to someone else?

Before Uya could sort out her thoughts, a major event occurred in the palace, temporarily distracting her from thinking about it further.

Zhongcuigong

Upon receiving the news, Ji Nai immediately instructed Yu Qing to help him change his clothes while simultaneously inquiring for more information, "Why is Consort Nara not staying properly in Jingyang Palace? Why did she go to the Western Six Palaces?"

Xiao Anzi was quite reliable; he had anticipated his master's question and had already inquired about it beforehand, answering:

"It is said that the fifth princess of Noble Lady Sochoro was not doing well. Seeing that Prince Wanfu was getting better, she had a plan. But before she could speak, you had an accident, so she went to Noble Lady Nara for help."

Noble Lady Nara empathized with the situation, so she readily agreed. However, since the two palaces were far apart, she couldn't do what you had done before. Instead, she would visit each palace to provide guidance, without getting involved herself.

Everything had been going smoothly before, but who knew something like this would happen?

Consort Nara encountered Consort Xi on the palace road. For some reason, they got into an argument, and during the scuffle, Consort Nara fell and bled. Everyone realized that something was wrong and carried her to Changchun Palace.

The imperial physician has examined her and said that Consort Nara is indeed one month pregnant, and the pregnancy was already unstable. This fall might..."

As she listened, Ji Nai's face went blank. Why did this play seem so familiar to her?

"Noble Lady Nara..." After all, Noble Lady Nara was the aggrieved party, so Ji Nai couldn't say anything directly.

Even though he only said half of what he meant, Xiao Anzi still understood his master's meaning and explained:

"It shouldn't be. Besides Consort Suochuoluo, the mothers of the other princesses have also been frequently visiting Yongshou Palace recently. The interactions between these ladies have gone on for more than just a day or two."

She couldn't possibly have been scheming for half a month just to use her unborn child to extort money from Consort Xi, could she? Even if Consort Nara was willing to do it, what about the others? Why should they play along with Consort Nara's act?

Seeing her mistress's grave expression, Granny Li asked, "The waters here are probably quite deep. You'd better not get involved. After all, your hand isn't fully healed yet, so it's reasonable for you not to go."

"No, I have to go. I feel like something is a little strange."

Ji Nai didn't believe that today's events were just an accident. But regardless of whether it was Consort Nara who was plotting against her or a third party, using a pregnant gold nugget to extort money was not a sign of favor, and there was a high probability that she wouldn't be pregnant. Why would Consort Xi, who was being threatened by everyone, be trying to gain favor?

Ji Nai rushed to Changchun Palace, only to find Consort Xi looking numb, and a few other concubines standing in twos and threes, who had come after hearing the news.

Such a clear-cut division made Ji Nai's eyelids twitch. This news spread incredibly fast today. It was unusually fast.

"Where is Noble Lady Nara?" Although he asked this, Ji Nai had already started walking towards the main hall.

Consort Xi, who was originally immersed in her own world, suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously stood in front of Ji Nai.

Ji Nai looked at the other woman with a puzzled expression, but saw that Consort Xi lowered her head and dared not meet her gaze.

Consort Xi explained, "Noble Lady Nara is in the right hall."

Consort Xi, being the head of Changchun Palace, naturally resides in the main hall. However, now that Noble Lady Nara shows signs of miscarriage, she refuses to even vacate the main hall, only allowing her to move to the uninhabited right hall?

Although the right hall is cleaned daily, it is empty and spacious, and its comfort level cannot compare to that of the main hall. In particular, if Consort Nara is fortunate enough to have a stable pregnancy, she will definitely need to rest in bed and will not be able to move around for a short period of time.

Ji Nai looked at Consort Xi, unsure of what to say. He shook his head, turned away from Consort Xi, and went inside to check on Noble Lady Nara. Seeing that the other woman was pale and covered in sweat, he knew that the situation was not good.
