Rong Fei is not honored

Kangxi looked a little unnatural. He shouldn't think like this. After all, Ji Nai was different from other women.

"But I didn't. I have always told you what I wanted to say. I would rather make you angry than hide anything from you, Your Majesty."

Kangxi knew that Ji Nai had always been like this, so after Ji Nai explained it just now, he believed it. Kangxi hugged Ji Nai.

Ji Nai knew that this was Kangxi's way of apologizing to him, and that was enough. Ji Nai never expected Kangxi to say he was wrong and bow his head to comfort him as Yuan Xu said, because that would not be Kangxi.

After that, Kangxi returned to the Qianqing Palace, where he had not yet finished dealing with today's affairs. He had put down his work and rushed here in a hurry after hearing the news that the little princess was seriously ill.

However, before parting, Kangxi reminded Gina: "If you continue like this, the little princess may still have to be raised by you."

Ji Nai accepted it and said, "When that time comes, I will take good care of the little princess. However, with a biological mother like Zhang, it will always be troublesome for the little princess to be raised by me in the future."

Ji Nai prepared Kangxi in advance to prevent Zhang from causing trouble again when he raised the little princess under his wing.

Only after Kangxi left Chuxiu Palace did Concubine Zhang dare to stick her head out again. Although Concubine Zhang had acted aggressively in front of Ji Nai before, it was only because she felt guilty.

After all, as long as I and the imperial physician don't tell the emperor about the fact that the little princess was tortured by the servants, the emperor may not notice it.

But with Ma Jia around, it was different. How could that woman let go of such a good opportunity? Even if there was nothing wrong, she would find fault. Concubine Zhang's mentality was completely based on her own standards, so she kept blocking Ji Nai.

After seeing the palace maid who served the little princess being sent to the Ministry of Punishment, Concubine Zhang became even more panicked. She only wanted to avoid appearing in front of the Emperor and make him remember that she, his biological mother, was also at fault.

If the Emperor punished her in front of so many people for not taking good care of the little princess, she would really be too ashamed to face anyone.

However, this fright made Concubine Zhang learn her lesson, knowing that the Emperor still remembered his daughter, and she dared not ignore the little princess as she did before.

After Kangxi had his attack, Concubine Zhang and the new wet nurses took care of the little princess with trepidation. In addition, the little spiritual fluid injected new vitality into the little princess, so the little princess gradually got better.

This was a coincidence that allowed Concubine Zhang to escape the disaster. Originally, Kangxi planned to raise the little princess under Ji Nai's lap, and the jade book was also changed to cut off Zhang's chance to make trouble.

After that, there was no need to keep Zhang, who had dared to neglect her own daughter and had no maternal love.

Kangxi was a vengeful and narrow-minded person, and Concubine Zhang's behavior touched his bottom line. But she was not a person of such value that Kangxi could tolerate her. Needless to say, the ending was self-evident.

However, since Concubine Zhang had already shown signs of repentance, Kangxi was not so anxious to take the little princess away. After all, given the current situation in the harem, it would be better for the little princess to be raised by her biological mother.

But this time, Kangxi will keep an eye on the Chuxiu Palace. If Concubine Zhang shows any sign of neglecting the little princess again, he will stop the loss in time and take the little princess away.

When it came to the New Year's Eve dinner, Ji Nai was holding the two-year-old Chengrui, and Zhang Shufei was holding the little princess who was just over three months old. They were sitting closest to the seat of honor, which attracted special attention.

Feeling so many gazes, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but straighten her back. There was no moment that could make her realize the importance of the royal heir more than now, even though she only gave birth to a princess.

Concubine Zhang regretted very much that she had tried to use the little princess as a pawn to harm Ma Jia in order to please the queen.

The Queen had always been lukewarm towards her, but now she understood the importance of the little princess. She thought that a mere Ma Jia was not worth sacrificing her little princess. So Concubine Zhang changed her mind immediately: she must keep the little princess by her side and not let the Emperor take her away.

From that day on, Concubine Zhang treated the little princess as a treasure, asking about her every matter and actually acting like a loving mother, as if the confused Zhang before was just a figment of everyone's imagination.

Yuan Xu had some guesses about this. She thought that Concubine Zhang might be suffering from postpartum depression. Ever since Concubine Zhang gave birth to a sickly little prince, everyone's attitude towards her had become cold, which was completely different from the situation when she was pregnant.

Having experienced the hotness of the people, how could she bear the coldness? That’s why Concubine Zhang regarded the queen as a life-saving straw to change the status quo and tried hard to cling to her. This behavior seemed snobbish, but in fact it was to save herself.

After noticing the change in Concubine Zhang, Ji Nai breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best arrangement.

But even with the careful care, the little princess was still too young and her body became weak. Ji Nai had no choice but to find an excuse to follow Kangxi, and under the vigilant eyes of Concubine Zhang, he fed some spiritual liquid to the little princess with a handkerchief.

Every time Ji Nai left, Concubine Zhang would smash the cup Ji Nai had used to express her dissatisfaction. But Concubine Zhang did not dare to anger Kangxi again, so under the cold eyes of the Emperor, she could only swallow her words of refusal.

But without a cup, the teacup would not be complete. During that period, the Ministry of Works often sent new tea sets to Chuxiu Palace. This would definitely cause a big fuss, so the harem heard about Concubine Zhang's dissatisfaction.

When Kangxi found out, he was furious and wanted to teach Zhang a lesson, but was stopped by Ji Nai. It was indeed she who had accidentally pitted Concubine Zhang. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just her who deliberately reminded Kangxi of Concubine Zhang's previous irresponsibility, which would make anyone unhappy.

Fortunately, the little princess was soon five months old. Ji Nai carefully explained to Kangxi that children of this age could actually eat complementary foods, but Kangxi was still a little hesitant because children in the palace were fed human milk until they were two or three years old.

Ji Nai directly pulled out the chubby Chengrui to prove to Kangxi that what he said was right. Facts proved that Chengrui's appearance was indeed very convincing, and Kangxi agreed with Ji Nai's parenting philosophy.

After settling Kangxi, Ji Nai prepared the complementary food with the spiritual liquid and gave it to Kangxi, asking him to make it for the little princess. Kangxi didn't expect that Ji Nai had spent so much effort to convince him before, but it was actually paving the way for today.

Just as he was about to refuse, Ji Nai reminded him, "Your Majesty promised me that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you can do it." Kangxi had no choice but to agree.
