Rong Fei is not honored

Ji Nai was amused by Yu Chengrui's behavior, but also angry at Kangxi's absent-mindedness. He should accompany the child well. Even if he has something on his mind, can't he take a break for a while?

So Ji Nai deliberately kept silent, just wanting to see when Kangxi would realize that Chengrui was no longer in his arms.

Kangxi's attention was distracted for only a moment. He was thinking about how to talk to Ji Nai about this matter. If he wanted Ji Nai to agree, how should he say it so that she would not be angry. As a result, Cheng Rui disappeared in his arms during this distraction.

Kangxi was so frightened that he almost stood up and shouted, asking Liang Jiugong to call the guards in. Fortunately, he still had some reason in his heart, knowing that this was in Zhongcui Palace, and Ji Nai was also nearby, so Chengrui was unlikely to be in danger.

So he swallowed the shout that rushed to his lips, but when he stood up, his legs were a little weak and his lips were shaking. As a result, when he turned around, he saw Chengrui was fine, sitting not far away and playing by himself.

Kangxi's heart instantly fell back, he strode over and lifted Chengrui by the collar. "Father?" Chengrui looked at Kangxi in confusion, as if he didn't understand why he was lifted up.

Kangxi's hands were itching. This was the first time he had the urge to beat up this kid. Ji Nai, who was watching the interaction between father and son, could no longer sit still and held down Kangxi's arm, "Your Highness!"

Kangxi turned around and saw a trace of fear in Ji Nai's eyes, as if he was afraid that he had really hit Cheng Rui. He turned around and looked at Cheng Rui again. The child had an innocent look on his face and didn't understand what his father was going to do.

Well, Kangxi looked at the mother and son in this state and couldn't bring himself to do it.

However, Kangxi did not let the matter go. He solemnly held Chengrui in front of him, looked into each other's eyes, and asked seriously: "Why did Chengrui crawl away? Don't you want to be close to your father?" Do you know that you almost scared your mother to death just now?

"Ama is tired." Ama is tired, so we can't disturb him. Kangxi automatically understood Chengrui's meaning, so this matter was really his own fault. He was not attentive when accompanying Chengrui, which led to this misunderstanding.

Kangxi rubbed Chengrui's head and said softly, "Father is not tired anymore. Father will accompany Chengrui."

Ji Nai naturally understood what Kangxi had been thinking about just now, but now was not a good time.

After the parent-child time was over, while the palace servants were serving the meal, Ji Nai asked casually, "What was Your Majesty thinking about just now? He was so absorbed in it that he didn't even notice Cheng Rui crawled away."

Kangxi snorted coldly. He didn't believe that Ji Nai really didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing Kangxi's expression of "you are pretending", Ji Nai touched his nose and said directly, "It's about the little princess."

"So," Ji Nai thought about Kangxi's expression after he came to Zhongcui Palace, "Your Majesty wants me to be the little princess's adoptive mother?"

"You don't want to?" Kangxi was familiar with Ji Nai, so he could naturally see what she was thinking. Ji Nai touched her face unconsciously. Was she being so obvious?

"It's not that I don't feel sorry for the little princess, I'm just a little scared." As for what she was afraid of, Kangxi knew it without saying, "So I'm still considering it."

"Then has His Majesty ever thought about keeping the little princess in Chuxiu Palace?"

"Zhang was originally a concubine, how could she be directly canonized as a concubine?"

Kangxi's words were a bit hypocritical. Wasn't Ji Nai like that at the time? It was just that in his heart, a hundred Zhangs could not compare to Ji Nai. So Ji Nai's treatment was a special case, while others could not even think about it.

"But now, apart from the Queen, there are only concubines who are the head of a palace. The rest of the concubines, whether they are from bannermen or noble ladies of the Eight Banners, are all concubines. Although there are only two heirs in the palace now, there will definitely be more in the future. They can't all be raised by the Queen and concubines. Besides, the concubines are promoted step by step, and I don't know how long it will take for them to reach the position of concubines."

"You mean that we should not promote concubines with sons above our rank, but directly hand over the royal heir to his biological mother for raising? But the rules set by our great grandfather..." Kangxi hesitated.

"The rules set by Emperor Taizu cannot be changed. It's just that Your Majesty ascended the throne when he was young, and the dynasty was not yet settled. He really couldn't spare the time to pay attention to the affairs of the harem, so the ranks of the sisters are still undecided. When the court is cleared up, Your Majesty will naturally have the energy, and then we can discuss the fate of the princes and princesses." Ji Nai's words made Kangxi fall into deep thought.

Ji Nai continued, "This will also reassure the concubines who are pregnant in the future, so that they don't have to worry about being separated from their children during pregnancy. Besides, His Majesty is a man of great strategy, so he certainly won't wait until the princes and princesses are six years old and sent to the Southern Three Residences before he can clean up the court."

Kangxi pinched Ji Nai's face and said with a smile: "How long did it take you to come up with such a method in order to reject this matter?"

"I haven't thought about it for a long time. It has only been a few days since Concubine Zhang wanted to entrust the little princess to me. Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and this idea came to my mind. Your Majesty will laugh at me."

This was half true and half false. Ji Nai really couldn't think of such a solution, but this was the situation in his previous life. In his previous life, everyone, including Ji Nai, was a concubine. According to the rules, only the queen could raise the heir. It was impossible for all concubines to raise their children under the care of the queen. Wouldn't that be a mess?

Therefore, before the order of seniority was re-arranged and Yinzhi was ranked as the eldest prince, the princes and princesses were all raised by their biological mothers. Under such circumstances, Kangxi really did not have the energy to invest too much time and energy in the harem, so he made special arrangements. But not long after, he changed it back and re-established this rule.

It must be said that the reason why most of the princes and princesses survived was also due to this. The concubines who could become the head of a palace were all capable and could naturally protect the children they raised.

However, in order to prevent Kangxi from thinking that he was too selfish and too cold to the heir who was not his own, Ji Nai sighed and said, "If Concubine Zhang is a well-behaved person, I may not be afraid to take over the responsibility of raising the little princess."

Ji Nai paused, and assured Kangxi: "However, if the little princess is not feeling well, I am willing to take care of her. But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I can only do it through Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is not allowed to refuse."

Kangxi deliberately joked: "It's so troublesome, it's better to send the little princess to you directly."

Ji Nai rolled his eyes. If Kangxi had not realized that the Queen was not doing right, he would not have considered it for so long without making a decision. He clearly wanted to send the little princess to Zhongcui Palace, but he had not issued the decree yet.
