Rong Fei is not honored

In fact, Concubine Nara really didn't want to settle the matter with just a few words, after all, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager hadn't spoken yet. She instigated a group of people to make such a big fuss, just to pave the way for what was to come.

If this matter can be accomplished, it would be the best. If not, today's incident can be used to spread rumors that the Queen is unkind and is unwilling to take care of the little princess because she is afraid of taking responsibility, and instead pushes it to the concubines under her.

You have to know that the Queen is the legitimate mother of all the children in the palace and has the responsibility to educate them. The Queen's evasion is another ironclad proof of her failure.

The queen wanted to use the little princess's illness to harm Ma Jia and ruin her reputation. Naturally, Concubine Nara could also use the little princess to harm the queen in turn.

If it doesn't work once, try twice or three times. A thousand-mile dam will be breached by a small hole. One day, the Queen's position will be in jeopardy, and even the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will not help to protect her. Then she will be able to avenge her child.

Whether she was just avenging her child or had other thoughts in her heart, only Concubine Nara knew it best. After all, the throne of the queen was a position that all women in the world dreamed of, and it was also the height ceiling that women in this feudal dynasty could reach. One step further was the queen mother.

But whether it is the queen or the queen mother, they are all glorious existences. The concubines of the Qing Dynasty not only have to compete for favor for the rest of their lives and for their children, but also for their families.

Just as the queen and the Hesheli family behind her are a natural community of interests, so even if the queen is gone, the Hesheli family will fully support the prince who has Hesheli blood.

Perhaps it was because of this that after Kangxi no longer trusted the queen, he was always wary of the power of his relatives. So when he learned what happened during the visit today, his first reaction was that he was unwilling to hand the little princess over to the queen for upbringing.

Once the little princess is brought up by the queen, the Zhang family will become the queen's vassal. Admittedly, the Zhang family is just a bondservant and cannot be considered a big help.

However, Kangxi was afraid that once such a precedent was set, more concubines would gradually turn to the queen, which would increase the power of the queen's side, and the families of these concubines outside the palace would also form an alliance with the Hesheli family.

Furthermore, he knew the Queen's temperament. She might be able to do a good job on the surface because she cared about herself and her reputation, but she would never be very kind to the little princess. However, the little princess had such a weak body that the slightest negligence could cost her life.

In fact, Kangxi hoped that the little princess could be raised by Ji Nai, mainly because he had seen how Ji Nai cared for Cheng Rui. If there was anyone in the palace who Kangxi trusted and could take good care of a child, it would probably be Ji Nai. Even Zhang, who had given birth to the little princess, probably didn't have such a loving mother's heart.

But he also understood that the little princess would be a trouble. Not to mention her physical condition, the fact that Ji Nai was not the little princess's biological mother would also lead to endless plots.

Moreover, to be honest, although the little princess was Kangxi's daughter, this daughter, with whom he had little affection, was not as important as Ji Nai in his heart.

He did not want to embarrass Ji Nai for the sake of the little princess. Therefore, although there was a lot of commotion in the harem about the little princess's adoptive mother, Kangxi never expressed his opinion.

Until this day, the Empress Dowager summoned Kangxi to ask about this matter. "The little princess has been born for several months. I wonder if the emperor has decided who will take care of her?"

"I have also been troubled by this matter these days."

"There is a great quarrel in the palace. Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible to put an end to this matter."

"I really don't know who to choose. I wonder what the Imperial Grandmother thinks?"

"The only two people in the palace who are qualified to raise the heir to the throne are the Empress and Ma Jia. The rest of the concubines are concubines. They have not made any contributions, so it is not appropriate for them to be promoted directly to concubines."

The Empress Dowager was implicitly reminding Kangxi not to use the fact that he had been too fond of Nara during this period as an excuse to directly promote Nara.

"Of these two people, the queen needs to be in charge of the harem, and Ma Jia already has a prince. Neither of them is the best candidate, but I think the queen is more suitable."

"Empress?" Kangxi frowned. The Empress was clearly not a suitable candidate, so why would the Empress Dowager recommend the Empress?

"Your Majesty, don't forget why you gave Zhang's baby to the Queen to take care of. I think if the child was in the Queen's care, there might be fewer twists and turns."

"But I think that compared to the Queen, Ma Jia can take better care of the little princess. If it is for the sake of the little princess's health, Ma Jia is more suitable."

"Since the emperor has already chosen a candidate, why is he still hesitating?"

"Just as the Empress Dowager said, I am afraid that my little princess will be kept in Zhongcui Palace, as it will cause unrest in the harem. You also know that my little princess is in poor health. If someone wants to overthrow Ma Jia, they may attack my little princess. What if Chengrui is implicated?"

"Your Majesty is a loving father, I understand. If you consider the health of the little princess, Ma Jia is indeed more suitable." Kangxi was still a little hesitant, "I will think about it again."

After leaving the Cining Palace, Kangxi went directly to the Zhongcui Palace.

Seeing Kangxi coming, Ji Nai felt a little relieved. The little princess's fate would be decided in the next two days, and she was really afraid that Kangxi would issue an order directly.

The main reason was that she thought about it carefully and felt that the possibility of her being the prince was much greater than that of the queen. It had nothing to do with Zhang's wishes. It was also the advantage that she had raised a healthy prince.

In the early days, Kangxi was a loving father, although he was a little partial. It was not until he had more children that he began to be indifferent. However, from Yinzhi to Yinzhen, especially the first few princes, they received Kangxi's full attention in their studies and life.

Therefore, for the sake of the little princess's health, Kangxi would most likely choose me. The fact that he did not issue an order directly showed that he valued my performance enough, so he hesitated, but he could not delay for long.

However, since Kangxi had come to Zhongcui Palace, there was still room for maneuver. Even if Ji Nai could not change Kangxi's decision in the end, he could still get more benefits for himself.

Perhaps because Kangxi was preoccupied, he seemed absent-minded when playing with Chengrui.

This was suggested by Ji Nai. Seeing that Chengrui was so close to his father, whenever Kangxi came, he would always drag him to spend parent-child time together.

By now Kangxi had gotten used to it. Whenever he came to Zhongcui Palace, he would first spend time with his children and then spend time with Ji Nai in the evening.

Chengrui sensed that his father was distracted, he sighed, picked up his little toy, and crawled away. Chengrui's walking was still not very stable, but he climbed up very quickly. He completed this series of actions in almost the blink of an eye.
