Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 426 Seduction

Before these people were sent to the Qianqing Palace, had he entered the harem more often? Kangxi also felt very aggrieved.

Of course, this does not include coming to Zhongcui Palace.

Ji Nai also knew that the rumors outside were indeed unpleasant, and was afraid that Kangxi would really get angry, so he comforted him:

"It's also because you've been staying in the Qianqing Palace more often, and the palace has been praising the beauty of those palace maids to the skies, so..."

"She is indeed prettier than them, but..." Kangxi stared at Ji Nai carefully, then said firmly, "She is nowhere near as good as you."

"Not really. I heard there's a man named Jue Chan who's very good-looking. Many people say he can rival me."

Kangxi shook his head, "That's an exaggeration."

While Ji Nai was surprised, he thought that Kangxi was indeed not such a superficial person. When it came to beauties, he looked not only at appearance but also at inner qualities, so he was not surprised.

Kangxi certainly didn't like Juechan's personality. Otherwise, in his previous life, Kangxi wouldn't have forbidden her from having children.

Ji Nai didn't know that what she guessed was only one aspect, but more importantly, Kangxi's "beauty is in the eyes of a lover", so he said "far inferior to her".

"In order to get rid of my reputation as a lecher, I have no choice but to bother you. I wonder if you would be willing to take me in."

Ji Nai held her belly, looked at Kangxi with a wary face, and sternly refused: "Your Majesty, I am still pregnant."

Kangxi's face, which had been smiling frivolously, suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really not that impatient."

In the end, in order to prove his "innocence", Kangxi insisted on staying in Zhongcui Palace and accompanying Ji Nai until she gave birth.

Kangxi was indeed very perseverant. Even though his beloved was lying next to him, he refused to go beyond the line and even stopped giving her the usual kisses and hugs.

This was a tough time for Ji Nai. Kangxi had not always been a vegetarian. He had probably been enjoying meat recently, but she had been holding it in.

Now that she was sleeping in the same bed with Kangxi, she really did have some feelings for this man. Especially in the dead of night, the strong masculine aura emitted by the man beside her seduced her all the time.

But Ji Nai was not an ignorant woman, so she would naturally not gamble with her child's safety.

She wanted Kangxi to help her, but she didn't have the face to ask. After all, she had just questioned him and he was proving his innocence. Moreover, it was Kangxi who provoked her first, so she only helped to put out the fire afterwards.

Ji Nai tossed and turned uncomfortably, waking up Kangxi beside him, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Although his voice was still sleepy, it was also filled with worry.

"No, I just can't sleep."

Kangxi chuckled, which made Ji Nai, who was already feeling guilty, even more angry and embarrassed. "What are you laughing at?"

The next second, his hot body pressed against Ji Nai, holding him tightly in his arms. The two bodies hugged each other tightly, fitting perfectly. "I knew you weren't used to it. Next time, just tell me if you want me to hold you."

Ji Nai said stubbornly: "I didn't!"

Having said that, this familiar closeness suppressed the desire that was churning in Ji Nai's heart. Soon, sleepiness came over him and he fell asleep.

Kangxi looked at the person who had just been saying that he was not sleepy, and was very pleased with Ji Nai's reaction. He gently kissed him on the forehead, and was not at all annoyed that he was not woken up by anyone, but the other person fell asleep before him.

He just thought that it was good that Ji Nai could not leave his habit like this, but it would be even better if it could be engraved in his bones.

Kangxi's stay at Zhongcui Palace gave the concubines in the harem hope. This meant that the Emperor was tired of those maids, so now was their chance, right?

Everyone knows that Concubine Rong is about to give birth and cannot serve the Emperor.

However, to everyone's disappointment, the Emperor seemed to have taken root in Zhongcui Palace, which made everyone wonder whether there were also beauties hidden in Zhongcui Palace. Who knows, this might be Rong Fei's way of consolidating her favor.

As soon as this thought came to mind, suspicion could not be stopped. The concubines all recalled that even when Ma Jia was pregnant, the Emperor often stayed overnight in Zhongcui Palace.

Well, it turns out that Ma Jia is the most cunning one.

But the rumor died down before it took shape, and imperial edicts of reprimand were passed down to the six palaces, especially to the most troublesome ones, who were punished the most severely.

There was also news from the Qianqing Palace that the Emperor was very angry:

He stayed in the Qianqing Palace and said that he was bewitched by the beauty of several palace maids. In order to curb the rumors, he specially chose the pregnant Rong Fei, intending to accompany her until she gave birth. As a result, he speculated that there was someone hiding in the Zhongcui Palace.

What? Is he such a licentious emperor? Or, as long as he doesn't favor his concubines, there must be something fishy going on, and he has to be labeled as a lecher.

After these words were spoken, the concubines in the palace dared not make any more noise. Who would have thought that His Majesty was not blaming them for being jealous, but thought that they were using His Majesty's reputation to force others to do something.

If you continue to make trouble, you will be convicted.

But no one dared to question the Emperor's train of thought, because, if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable. Although they themselves do not have such courage, there may be someone who is so bold, and they cannot become someone else's pawn.

Ji Nai had not expected that he could use his reputation as a sharp weapon to fight back, but on second thought it was normal. He probably thought that the Hesheli family had used folk rumors to plot against Kangxi several times before, and they were all remembered by the petty-minded man.

I guess he had already thought of several ways to fight back in his mind, but he didn't expect that he would use them in the harem first.

......

In June of the 14th year of the Kangxi reign, Concubine Rong gave birth to another prince.

The only difference between this little prince and his brothers was that he was weak from birth and the imperial physician was summoned several times within a few days of his birth. It is said that Kangxi was furious about this.

Everyone in the palace could see how healthy Concubine Rong was, and everyone also knew how strong and healthy the princes Chengrui and Saiyinchahun were when they were born.

This time, Rong Fei gave birth to a sickly little prince. Everyone suspected that there was a plot against Zhongcui Palace, but looking at the Emperor's reaction and the movements in Zhongcui Palace, it didn't seem like it.

Could it be that Rong Fei's frequent pregnancies had caused her to give birth to children one after another before her body had recovered, thus endangering the young prince? Some people also thought of the contraceptive soup, guessing that Rong Fei must have been harmed by the contraceptive soup before.

However, not long after, news came out that Concubine Rong was suffering from heart disease. In fact, it was because of this heart disease that the young prince was so weak.

Rong Fei is in such good health, how could she have such a heart disease?

Just when everyone was questioning the authenticity of the news, someone had already confirmed in the Imperial Hospital that Concubine Rong was indeed suffering from a heart disease.

As to when the disease first occurred, the imperial physician was very secretive and refused to reveal it no matter what.
