Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 415 Shield

……

Ji Nai returned to Zhongcui Palace. After washing up with the help of Yu Qing, he could not even open his eyes. Fortunately, today was New Year's Eve and Kangxi could not come.

Otherwise, even if Ji Nai was pregnant and could not serve the emperor in the bedchamber, she would still have to endure some trouble.

Kangxi didn't know what was wrong with him. When he went to bed at night, he had to put his hands on Ji Nai's belly, even without clothes.

Sometimes, Ji Nai felt hot and sticky with sweat, so he would take the hand away from the sleeping Kangxi, but Kangxi would wake up the next second.

There was indeed something wrong with Kangxi's condition. Ji Nai felt distressed and could only let him be.

But this also resulted in Ji Nai preferring to sleep alone rather than with Kangxi's company. Of course, she did not dare to show it in front of Kangxi.

Although Yuan Xu had a lot of questions in his mind, he couldn't bear to leave when he saw the fatigue on Ji Nai's face.

Ji Nai slept for a long time, and when he woke up comfortably, it was almost noon.

Ji Nai was startled and sat up quickly, almost hurting his stomach.

"Master!" exclaimed Nanny Li.

Nanny Li knew what her master was worried about, so she took the initiative to explain without waiting for her to ask, "Master, don't worry. There is no need to pay respects today."

"Forget it?" Ji Nai felt his frightened stomach and realized that nothing was wrong. Only then did he feel like responding to Li Ma.

"Yes... There was news from the Cining Palace that the Empress Dowager was ill, and then His Majesty issued an edict, ordering the concubines in the harem to stay in their own palaces and not go out.

Because today's greetings have been cancelled, and His Majesty does not want the masters to visit or tend to the sick, I did not ask you to get up."

The Empress Dowager is ill? Ji Nai raised his eyebrows.

Yes, Kangxi's performance at the dinner party last night really made the Empress Dowager very dissatisfied, so it was expected that he suddenly fell ill.

It just doesn't do anything except express dissatisfaction.

Kangxi would never allow the Empress Dowager to interfere in state affairs, and his special treatment of Yinreng was just a preparation for the establishment of a crown prince.

Seeing her master's expression, Nanny Li knew that the other party knew what was going on, so she didn't say anything more. After all, the affairs of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were not something she could interfere in.

"Oh, my Lord, originally Concubine Hui was planning to come visit you, but after what happened, it was not convenient for her to come out, so she only sent a servant to come and congratulate you."

Huipin didn't come here to congratulate, she clearly came here to ask for a reward.

It looks like it's been done.

Since Irgen Jueluo had the guts to plot against him, he would have to bear her wrath. However, Ji Nai would not do it himself as that would only dirty his hands.

However, the Sochorolo clan, who had a grudge against the Irgen Jueluo clan, was enough to give her a hard time, not to mention those concubines who were dissatisfied because they knew the other party's plan and helped Ji Nai get rid of the contraceptive soup.

"master?"

"Huh?" Ji Nai came back to his senses and saw Nanny Li looking at him with a worried look on her face, while Yu Sheng Yu Qing and Xiao Anzi beside her also looked cautious.

"what happened?"

But facing the master's questions, Nanny Li and the others looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Yuan Xu interrupted and said, "It is widely rumored that you are not worthy of the title of favorite concubine. Even if you gave birth to so many children for Kangxi, they are not as important as a legitimate son.

Even your current glory and honor are just a shield put up by Kangxi to protect Yinreng.

The reason why you were made a concubine was just to compensate for the contraceptive soup. Even though the plan failed due to the interference of Irgen Jueluo and his men, the fact that you were given the medicine for Yinreng was a real thing.

They heard about it, too, so…”

Ji Nai raised his eyebrows. It seemed that his plan was successful. Even the people in his own palace believed such words, let alone others.

"But to be honest, the people in the palace saw Kangxi's attitude towards Hesheli before, and they actually believed such a ridiculous thing."

What was Kangxi's attitude towards Hesheli? We do know that Hesheli touched Kangxi's bottom line and made him want to kill her.

However, because Chenghu hesitated and because Kangxi wanted to squeeze out the last value of Hesheli, he not only did not deal with Hesheli directly, but also allowed her to plot against him and acquiesced in the birth of Yinreng.

Even when Hesheli died later, ostensibly because she died during childbirth while giving birth to an heir to Kangxi, Kangxi stopped attending court for five days and even brought Yinreng to my palace to raise him.

You have to know that I have a mortal feud with Hesheli, which is why Kangxi is willing to trust me and rest assured in me.

You say, in the eyes of others, is it because Kangxi repeatedly tolerated and gave in to Hesheli, and in the end, I don’t know what he did or said that made me “have to” raise this child wholeheartedly? 】

"Oh my god, looking at it this way, you are so aggrieved and pitiful."

[Even if there are other possibilities, do you think those people will believe it? Or are they willing to believe it?]

Yuan Xu thought about it and fell silent. Rather than admitting that other women did occupy a special position in Kangxi's heart, they would rather believe that the honor and favor Ji Nai received was fake.

"Master, are you okay?" Seeing the master suddenly become dazed, Nanny Li and others were extremely worried.

Ji Nai came back to his senses and smiled to reassure everyone, "I just got up and am still a little dazed, it's nothing serious."

Although Ji Nai explained, none of the servants in Zhongcui Palace believed it, and they were all very worried.

The rumors outside seemed too true. Even though they were used to seeing how good the Emperor was to their master, they still couldn't help but believe them.

If all of this is true, what will their master do in the future? Fortunately, the master has a son and a daughter, and is close to Shoukang Palace, so even in the future... he will not be bullied by the servants of the power.

Ji Nai naturally knew what everyone was thinking. This was not a good thing. If people were restless, things would easily go wrong.

She explained: "What are the rumors outside now?"

"How does the master know that outside..." Before Yu Sheng could finish her words, she was glared at by Nanny Li and dared not speak again.

Ji Nai smiled in an unfathomable way, "It seems that Huipin really tried her best this time and didn't have any bad intentions."

Nanny Li asked tentatively, "Did the master do this on purpose regarding the concubine Irgenjueluo and the contraceptive soup?"

"What else? Mammy, if the baby in my belly is still a prince, then there will be four princes in Zhongcui Palace. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have sent me the contraceptive incense."

Everyone was silent. The issue of the contraceptive incense was a hurdle that everyone in Zhongcui Palace could not get over.
