Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 413: Conferred the title of Concubine

However, Nara Zhizhu has never been a good-tempered person. If Ma Jia dares to lie to her, then no one will have an easy time.

In fact, Yinzhen was not forgotten. First of all, although Kangxi did not give any order, the ministers who raised Yinzhen did not dare to bring him into the palace. However, even so, his duty as a minister made him remind the Emperor tactfully.

However, this year’s reply was the same as always – there was no need to bring Yinzhen into the palace!

What can the ministers do? Of course, they obey the orders of His Majesty. They are also helpless. How can the emperor's son be raised in their own home?

Especially as the children grew up and were not sensible, and because of their noble status, they did not even have the qualifications to discipline them, and made the home a mess.

Don't they want the prince to return to the palace? It's clear that no matter how much they hint, His Majesty won't respond.

At the banquet

Even though the court officials thought their scrutiny was subtle, Kangxi, who was sitting at the top, still saw it clearly.

It was one thing to know that it was impossible for all his subjects to be staunch royalists, but it was quite another to see with his own eyes that these subjects had begun to consider choosing the next master when his sons were still young.

Kangxi was feeling upset but also sneering. Don't worry, he would slowly settle accounts with them.

One day, there will be only one voice in the court: the emperor will sit firmly on the high platform, while the ministers will have to crawl on the ground.

As for those who scheme to gain power and seek benefits for themselves and their families, he will squeeze out every last bit of value from them, and then let them watch helplessly as their efforts go to waste.

Kangxi drank the last bit of wine in the glass, and then asked Liang Jiugong to bring Yinreng over.

Noticing Liang Jiugong in front of him, Ji Nai subconsciously looked towards Kangxi. When he saw him nod, he ordered the wet nurse to hand Yinreng over to Liang Jiugong.

This scene was seen by many people, and the hall instantly became quiet. Even those who did not understand what was going on were affected by the emotions of the people around them and dared not speak out.

Kangxi hugged Yinreng in public, completely ignoring everyone's surprise and the gloomy face of the Empress Dowager beside him.

Although Kangxi was not often close to Yinreng, other people didn't know that. Seeing Prince Yinreng being so obedient in the arms of His Majesty, they thought that this scene happened often, so His Majesty was so skilled in the posture, and Prince Yinreng did not reject His Majesty.

In fact, Kangxi's skill was honed by holding Chengrui and Rongxian. He even rarely held Saiyinchahun and Yinhua, not to mention Yinreng, with whom he had complicated feelings.

As for Yinreng, although he was shy, he saw the person in front of him every day. Even if he had never been close to him, he was familiar with him. So Yinreng gave him face and did not lose his temper.

Kangxi looked at the child in his arms and found that he looked more like Hesheli, and his emotions became more complicated.

They are brothers from the same mother, so why doesn't Yinreng have any trace of Chenghu? But it's fine this way, Chenghu is Chenghu, Yinreng is Yinreng, and no one should be a substitute for the other.

What's more, Kangxi originally intended to use this child. What if he fell in love with Yinreng because he looked like his brother and was reluctant to give him up?

"Your Majesty!" The dissatisfied voice of the Empress Dowager sounded at the side, reminding Kangxi not to go too far.

Noticing the restlessness of the child in his arms, Kangxi walked down the stairs and asked Liang Jiugong to send the noisy child back in time.

"Rongpin, you have taken good care of Yinreng."

After hearing this, Soetu's face turned green. Prince Yinreng was the prince of their Hesheli family, so how could he be kept in the hands of a bondservant woman forever?

Moreover, His Majesty praised Ma Jia so much, where did he put the princesses of his family? Prince Yinreng had nothing to do with Ma Jia. He was the child of Empress Hesheli and the legitimate son of His Majesty.

Ji Nai stood up and saluted, saying humbly: "Your Majesty has entrusted Prince Yinreng to me, so I naturally dare not betray Your Majesty's trust."

Seeing that Concubine Rong only mentioned the Emperor's order but did not mention how close she was to Prince Yinreng, Soetu's expression improved a lot, thinking she was sensible.

"Since you have raised Yinreng well, I will not be stingy with a little reward. Today happens to be New Year's Eve, so I will add some joy to you."

No one knew what Kangxi was up to. He was showing everyone his favor for Prince Yinreng and rewarding Concubine Rong. What was going on?

The next second, she was stunned by the news that Kangxi issued an edict to confer the title of concubine on Rongpin.

There was an uproar in the court and the harem.

Without waiting for the person whose interests were harmed to speak up to stop him, Kangxi continued:

"Your baby...Yinhua is so young. I'm afraid you won't have enough energy to take care of another child." Kangxi frowned, seeming very dissatisfied.

Those who had objections to Rongpin being made a concubine also quieted down. What happened tonight was really confusing, so it was better to wait and see what happened.

However, the Empress Dowager and the concubines in the harem, who knew about the contraceptive soup, had other ideas.

Look at the way His Majesty looks. No matter how you look at it, it seems like he is not satisfied with Concubine Rong, no, it's Concubine Rong. He is dissatisfied with the fact that Concubine Rong is pregnant at this time. But isn't it a happy thing for a concubine to be pregnant?

Could it be?

Everyone's eyes turned to Prince Yinreng. If it was for compensation, then the position of concubine was nothing.

Huipin looked at Ji Nai with even more pity. She knew that how could a ruthless emperor like Kangxi really care about a woman? He was either after her sex or scheming against her.

Alas, she was wrong to have been trying to trip up Ma Jia everywhere just because she felt she was an eyesore. It was obvious that they were all equally pitiful people.

No wonder Ma Jia, who had a son and was favored by her husband, would take the initiative to seek an alliance with me. It turned out that she had long seen clearly her situation and knew that the glory before her was just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.

She is more insightful than me!

Yuan Xu looked at Kangxi with strange eyes, then looked at Ji Nai, "Did Kangxi do this on purpose? And what weird things have these people imagined?"

[Maybe they think Kangxi asked me to use contraception so that he could take better care of Yinreng? My current position as a concubine is just compensation, so they all feel sorry for me. ]

"Pathetic? What's so pitiful about this? Even if it's really for compensation, but she has gained real benefits, promoted to the position of imperial concubine, which is unique in the palace now. There are a bunch of concubines and a concubine, how can you pity a concubine?"

[It is an imperial decree, but it is not as good as a canonization. 】

"Come on, aren't you happy? This is getting you the throne sooner than we expected."

【certainly. 】

Naturally, Ji Nai wanted to express his gratitude for such a valuable reward. He knelt down with the help of Nanny Li and bowed deeply to Kangxi.

Feeling the softness on his legs, Ji Nai thought to himself:

"No wonder Kangxi asked Yuqing to prepare the cushion to be tied to his legs in advance. It turns out that he had planned to give himself such a big surprise."
