Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 433 A Difficult Errand

In fact, Liang Jiugong didn't really want to scold Xiao Anzi. After all, he was a servant of Zhongcui Palace. He had to consider Rong Fei's face no matter what. The reason why he said such words was more of a reminder.

Xiao Anzi smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what Brother Liang meant, but I really don't dare to say that. I will lose my head."

Liang Jiugong's expression turned serious. Was something really wrong? But he hadn't received any news. Could it be that old man Wei Zhu was causing trouble again?

Liang Jiugong looked suspiciously at Wei Zhu, who had been silent beside him.

Wei Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Someone from Cining Palace came to Zhongcui Palace today. I don't know what they did specifically. At that time, I just thought it was an ordinary visit." So he didn't report it.

After all, Prince Yinfu was in poor health, and the Empress Dowager was very concerned about him and often sent people to visit him.

(Mainly out of guilt, the old lady believed the child's poor health was her grandson's fault.)

But now it seems that it is not that simple.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu both looked at Xiao Anzi. Xiao Anzi sighed deeply and nodded solemnly.

Well, the case has been solved. It is indeed related to the Cining Palace, and judging from Xiao Anzi's expression, it is probably not a good thing.

The curiosity that Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu had just felt was instantly extinguished.

There are some things that it is better for them not to know.

Seeing Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu starting to act like cowards, Xiao Anzi couldn't help but snort in his heart. What Nanny Li said was indeed right. These two were old sly guys who could not be relied upon. When something happened, they retreated faster than anyone else.

However, with the two of them having such an attitude, Xiao Anzi couldn't continue to rush to tell the truth, as that would be too obvious. He had to think of another way.

Hall

As soon as Kangxi came in, he saw Ji Nai with a sad face, which was not what he expected: holding Yinfu and forcing him to interact with him.

"What's going on here?"

Ji Nai seemed to have seen a savior, and happily threw himself into Kangxi's arms, looking at him with sparkling eyes. But then, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes began to dodge.

Kangxi lifted Ji Nai up with one hand, and after he sat him down, he placed him on his lap. "Tell me, what happened?"

"It's the Empress Dowager who has given me a very difficult task.

I don't want to accept it, and I also think you are sure you know what you are thinking. I don't want to bother you by saying too much, but she is the Grand Empress Dowager after all, so I dare not refuse."

"Well, for the Empress?" Kangxi asked casually while playing with Ji Nai's hair.

"How did you know?" Ji Nai looked at Kangxi in shock, his voice filled with disbelief. "Your Majesty, how did you know?"

Kangxi snorted lightly, then explained:

"The only ones who could make the Grand Empress Dowager care so much about them are the Central Palace and the Eastern Palace.

But didn't the Empress Dowager already make a fuss about Yinreng moving to the Qianqing Palace last time? I haven't officially issued an edict to make Yinreng the Crown Prince, so naturally it can only be for the Empress's position."

"Yes, the Grand Empress Dowager wants me to persuade you to establish a queen as soon as possible. I don't know what she is thinking. That's the position of queen, and His Majesty has his own ideas. Why should I interfere?"

Kangxi looked at Ji Nai with amusement, "Why don't you call me 'Your Majesty' all the time?"

Ji Nai smiled ingratiatingly, "Then I feel guilty and I'm afraid you'll be angry."

"If you don't tell me and really help the Grand Empress Dowager to persuade her, I will be angry."

"That's impossible. I can't keep my words secret in front of His Majesty.

Besides, compared to the Grand Empress Dowager, I am definitely on your side, Your Highness, and I will tell you everything."

Kangxi rubbed Ji Nai's head, feeling very happy.

What he didn't tell Ji Nai was that he really didn't want Ji Nai to mention the matter of enthroning the queen, either because he was suspicious or because he was a little unhappy.

It’s like a child who doesn’t get the toy he longs for. He is very unwilling at first, but as time goes by, he gradually forgets about it and realizes that it is not what he should have. However, when the toy is mentioned again, he will still be unhappy.

As for the Empress Dowager, she obviously had no good intentions. If it were someone else, even if Kangxi understood that this was the Empress Dowager's intention, he would think that the other party was usurping the position of Empress.

"What did the Grand Empress Dowager say? Did she only ask you to persuade me to establish a queen as soon as possible?"

"No, I've said a lot. Perhaps the Grand Empress Dowager is worried that I might be passive and passive? Or perhaps she thinks I'm not smart enough to persuade you with reason and evidence?"

Kangxi put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Ji Nai cleared his throat before speaking: "The Empress Dowager means:

After Empress Hesheli passed away, although no more royal heirs were lost in the palace, there were still endless fights and disturbances.

The two children born this year, Yinfu and the little prince, are both weak. This is the case without human intervention. If someone had malicious intentions, I am afraid these two children would not be able to withstand it.

If something like that really happened, what would the emperor do?

Do we have to kill all the masters and servants in the palace?

Not to mention that the royal family has been in trouble one after another, which is bound to make foreign officials and the people laugh at it. If this happens too many times, where is the royal dignity?

What's more, most of the servants in the palace are bannermen, and their power is complicated and intertwined. One servant can implicate a large number of people who are involved with him.

After all, it is not legitimate for concubines to manage the harem, and they will not accept it even if the rank difference is huge.

But the Queen has the responsibility to manage the concubines, so no one dares to say anything."

Kangxi nodded and said, "Well, what the Empress Dowager said does make sense."

Ji Nai was speechless. Kangxi's eyes were wandering just now. She bet that Kangxi didn't hear a single word of his long speech.

"Did the Grand Empress Dowager say who she preferred as the Queen?"

"That's not the case. After all, I'm just a concubine. Even if the Empress Dowager asked me to persuade you, I'm afraid you wouldn't really take me seriously. How could I possibly know about such a major matter as the selection of the Central Palace?"

"Okay, I understand."

"Then the mission entrusted to me by the Grand Empress Dowager is now complete, right?"

"Ah."

Ji Nai let out a long sigh, his expression became relaxed, and he nestled in Kangxi's arms and talked about his children.

That look is very comfortable.

Kangxi found it amusing to see Ji Nai, who looked like a completely different person. He patted her and said, "I will not accompany you today."

"Why?" Ji Nai almost jumped up. She knew how much Kangxi valued government affairs, because he would stay in Zhongcui Palace for a long time every time, so he usually finished his affairs for the day before coming here.

At this moment, there is obviously nothing urgent to deal with.

Kangxi sighed, but in his heart he was delighted. "If I weren't angry, this kind of thing would happen to you in the future."
