Rong Fei is not honored

Because of the influence of the palace's parenting concepts, Concubine Zhang and the wet nurses were very dissatisfied with the Emperor's actions, but since Kangxi was so persistent, they did not dare to go against the Emperor.

But after feeding the little princess complementary food, Concubine Zhang and the wet nurses nervously observed the little princess's reaction.

This attitude even affected the imperial doctors, and they all treated the situation as if they were facing a great enemy. As a result, the little princess was not only fine, but her condition was getting better and better.

The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly laughed at himself for forgetting that this was the proper way to raise a child.

But the children in the palace are precious, and the imperial doctors dare not say that the children cannot be raised so carefully.

Besides, the only examples they could cite were children outside the palace, but how could the sons of the royal family be compared with ordinary people? So the imperial doctors naturally kept their mouths shut.

Concubine Zhang was very happy that the little princesses were getting better, but the wet nurses were extremely dissatisfied.

You have to know that the Imperial Household Department has its own way of raising children, and the masters therefore value these experienced maids very much. If their experience is overturned, they will naturally become useless.

But they didn't dare to say anything wrong about His Majesty, so they could only pick on the weak. They used their connections in the palace to investigate and found out that the supplementary food was actually made by Ma Jia from Zhongcui Palace. So they had found a target for retaliation.

As a result, rumors began to spread in the palace, saying that the Empress of Zhongcui Palace, in order to please the Emperor, even though the little princess was still young, made some complementary food for her.

Complementary food sounds strange, but everyone knows that human milk is the best for nourishing people. This is totally not taking the little princess's health into consideration. Fortunately, Concubine Zhang and the wet nurses were careful, so no big disaster happened.

If you ask why they didn't stop it even though they knew it was wrong, it was because Ma Jia had misled His Majesty. How could they dare to say anything wrong about His Majesty?

She was just afraid that Ma Jia would do something to harm the little princess's health, and she was even more worried about Prince Chengrui who was being raised in Zhongcui Palace.

However, because he did not dare to face the anger of Madam Ma Jia whose intentions were exposed, he could only say it in this way, hoping that it would reach the ears of his masters and attract their attention.

This matter caused a lot of uproar at once, and the empress and all the concubines were laughing at Ma Jia's joke.

Even the Empress Dowager heard about it, and because the rumor sounded plausible, she believed it to be true. She immediately brought Chengrui to the Cining Palace and issued an imperial decree to reprimand Ma Jia.

But he was stopped by the Empress Dowager, who said that for the sake of Prince Chengrui, the matter should be made clear first, otherwise the prince's biological mother would lose face and the royal heir would inevitably be implicated.

Besides, the emperor is not someone who can be easily fooled. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here.

Kangxi really didn't know about the rumor, but Liang Jiugong knew about it. However, he knew how happy the Emperor was when the little princess's health improved.

But now there are rumors that slander Empress Ma Jia. If the Emperor gets to know about this, who knows how angry he will be. Then there will be another bloody storm in the palace.

Liang Jiugong cursed those careless servants secretly. How should he talk to His Majesty to save his own ass? As a result, before Liang Jiugong could come up with a solution, Kangxi was called to the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager.

When Kangxi heard the Empress Dowager's question with dissatisfaction, he exploded, "Which dog slave made up this!"

The Empress Dowager was stunned when she saw Kangxi's reaction, and asked suspiciously, "Now that the news has spread all over the palace, the Emperor doesn't even know about it?"

Kangxi subconsciously looked at Liang Jiugong, but saw that he looked guilty and avoided looking at him. Kangxi sneered, frightening Liang Jiugong, and then turned to explain to the Empress Dowager:

"The Empress Dowager also knew that Chengrui was a strong child. I felt sorry for the little princess, so I asked Ma Jia for advice. I learned that since Chengrui was five or six months old, Ma Jia had deliberately given him some food that was easy for children to digest. I wanted to see if this would work for the little princess, so I asked Ma Jia to make some."

"Did the Emperor order Ma Jia to do it?" The Grand Empress Dowager was still a little skeptical. She wondered if the Emperor had deliberately said that in order to exonerate Ma Jia.

"Of course, otherwise how would Ma Jia dare to intervene in the little princess's affairs? Before I fed the little princess, I also asked the royal doctor and the pediatric expert of the Imperial Hospital to check it. They said there was no problem, so I dared to give it to the little princess."

The Empress Dowager thought so too. The women in the palace have always kept their distance from other people's children, fearing that if something happened, they would be blamed. Unless they were calculating, they would not go near them. But it was unrealistic to say that Ma Jia would take such a risk just to please the emperor.

Afterwards, the Grand Empress Dowager figured out the cause of the rumor. She probably thought that it was because the interests of the servants were damaged that the matter was spread so widely that even the Grand Empress Dowager almost believed it.

After explaining everything clearly, Kangxi left the Cining Palace. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Cining Palace, Kangxi kicked Liang Jiugong and knocked him down.

"Next time, you don't have to stay by my side." Liang Jiugong knew that His Majesty was talking about Master Ma Jia, and he hurriedly responded, "I will remember this. Next time, if there is anything about Master Ma Jia, I will report it to you immediately."

Kangxi then rushed to Zhongcui Palace and said, "That dog slave Liang Jiugong did not report it. I just learned about the recent rumors in the palace. Don't worry, I will definitely make a decision for you."

Ji Nai just thought it was funny. She had heard the most unpleasant rumors before, so those rumors really didn't matter. As long as Kangxi believed her, it would be fine.

Ji Nai himself didn't care, but Kangxi and Yuan Xu were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and wished to punish all the servants who spread the rumors.

However, Ji Nai would not pretend to be magnanimous and stop Kangxi from standing up for himself. He just advised: "Your Majesty, there are many people involved, just punish the main culprit."

On the one hand, it is really unnecessary. On the other hand, if everyone is really dealt with, all the servants in the palace will probably become his enemies.

The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with. If this is true, Ji Nai and her children will have a very painful life in the harem even with the protection of Kangxi.

In addition, Ji Nai also considered that even if Kangxi stopped the rumors by killing, it would only make everyone think that he was guilty, so he instigated the Emperor to kill those servants who told the truth. Only then would Ji Nai's reputation be truly ruined.

Kangxi understood Ji Nai's concerns, and in the end, he only dealt with the servant who spread the rumor in the first place. While others were getting anxious, he stopped taking any action, but together with the Grand Empress Dowager, he rewarded Ji Nai heavily, and later the Empress Dowager and the Queen also gave him generous rewards.

In this way, people in the palace would naturally understand whether the rumor was true or false.

Even though there are still people who insist that these are just means for Ji Nai to reverse his reputation, those slaves who were executed are telling the truth.

But seeing the health of Prince Chengrui and the improving health of the little princess, they all shut up.
