Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 225 Power Dazzles the Eyes

“I know how much you love your sons, but the country is too important and your energy is limited. You don’t pay much attention to your children, but Chengrui and Saiyinchahun have never been neglected.

Compared with other princes and princesses in the palace, Chengrui and Saiyinchahun have received so much love and attention. Seeing your feelings for Saiyinchahun deepening day by day, I feel bad, and I am afraid that if it drags on, you will feel even worse.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to the Grand Empress Dowager's request. Even if I have a harder time, at least we are all together as a family. But the words have been spoken, and if I regret it now, the Grand Empress Dowager will definitely turn against me and point the finger at you."

After he finished speaking, Ji Nai had already burst into tears.

Kangxi held Ji Nai in his arms and sighed, "How could I not know your difficulties and heartache? I also understand that you care about me. But Ji Nai, I am angry because you don't believe in me. You should wait for me, and we will bear it together."

"I was wrong. I will never do that again next time."

"It's not a bad thing for Saiyin Chahun to stay in Shoukang Palace, but it's a little troublesome for you to see the child."

"It's not a problem. Besides, I'm already very lucky. The Queen Mother is Saiyin Chahun's mama, not an adoptive mother. The child is still my child."

"Are you hungry?" They were exhausted from all the fooling around, and it was time for dinner.

"Yeah." Ji Nai was really hungry.

The two of them had dinner by the bed. It was not because they were unruly, but because Ji Nai could not get up. Not only did his back ache, but his legs were so weak that he could not stand up. Even with Kangxi's support, his calves were still trembling.

Seeing Ji Nai's miserable condition, Kangxi's eyes clearly said: Why are you so useless!

Ji Nai blushed and argued, "It must be that I didn't take good care of myself these past few days, so I am weak."

Seeing Ji Nai starting to bring up the past, Kangxi felt a little guilty and had to touch his nose and change the subject, "I don't know if Chengrui is used to living in Shoukang Palace, and whether he will miss his father and mother."

When Ji Nai heard Kangxi mention Chengrui, he felt a little disappointed. Yes, he didn't know how the child was doing now. Chengrui had never left him for such a long time.

Then she reacted and glared at Kangxi, "Fortunately Chengrui didn't come back with us today, otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to see anyone."

Kangxi was somewhat dissatisfied. Was he such a tactless person? If Chengrui had not stayed in Shoukang Palace, he would not have acted so recklessly.

After filling his stomach, Ji Nai couldn't stand the stickiness on his body anymore and wanted to take a bath, and couldn't wait any longer. Fortunately, Li Ma and others were smart and not only prepared dinner, but also hot water, so that Ji Nai could wash himself clean.

Of course, Kangxi's help was still needed. Ji Nai didn't have the nerve to let Li Ma and the others carry him into the bathtub. Comparatively speaking, Ji Nai would rather trouble Kangxi.

After sternly rejecting Kangxi's proposal for a double bath, Ji Nai dismissed the servants who were serving him and resolutely maintained his last bit of dignity, even though he was left with only a piece of fig leaf full of holes.

After everyone left, Ji Nai's expression changed, and he said helplessly: [Tell me, what do you want to ask? ]

"I thought you had forgotten me long ago!" Yuan Xu said gritting his teeth.

Ji Nai felt a little guilty. Well, she really had forgotten about Yuan Xu.

The main reason is that now, Yuan Xu mostly follows Cheng Rui or Sai Yincha, not hanging around him. Moreover, Yuan Xu is much more stable than at the beginning, not so chattering, isn't it...

This time, because Chengrui and Saiyinchahun both stayed in Shoukang Palace, and the distance between Yuanxu and himself was not that far, he had to come back with himself.

Then, Ji Nai noticed Yuan Xu's low mood and her face looked extremely ugly. But at that time, she had to deal with Kangxi and had no time to care about Yuan Xu.

Faced with Yuan Xu's accusations, Ji Nai decided to turn the tables.

[Can you please be reasonable? Even if I have noticed that you are in a bad mood, do I have the time to talk to you in detail? Even though I am exhausted, I still have to take time to care about you.]

Ji Nai looked at Yuan Xu as if he were a heartless man, with an expression that said, "How can you doubt me like this?"

Yuan Xu was speechless. "Are you sure you want to continue to dwell on this issue? If you keep doing it for too long, Nanny Li and the others will at most come over to ask questions, but Kangxi will probably come right in."

Given Ji Nai's current situation, if Kangxi saw him, he would probably be in danger, but that was not certain, as Kangxi might not be such a beast. The key was, did Ji Nai dare to gamble?

Ji Nai was silent for a while, then his expression became serious again. [Excuse me.]

Yuan Xu hesitated. In fact, she was not sure, but Ji Nai was really strange this time. And the answer was related to how she would view Kangxi and whether she should always be on guard against him.

"Did you do this on purpose? What happened today."

This question was out of context. Ji Nai looked at Yuan Xu, but there was no confusion in her eyes. She knew what the other party was asking, and was not surprised that Yuan Xu could notice this.

Ji Nai did not answer, but Yuan Xu already knew the answer.

"why?"

Ji Nai's image in front of Kangxi was always gentle and harmless. He would never hide anything from Kangxi and would entrust all his trust to him, even if he had any ill will towards the empress.

But this time, Ji Nai acted on his own and sent Saiyinchahun to Shoukang Palace without any warning, without Kangxi's knowledge.

This is inconsistent with the image presented by Ji Nai and is also very dangerous, as it may cause his character to collapse.

What if, what if Kangxi had a grudge against him because of this incident, or even began to suspect that Ji Nai had other ulterior motives and did not really trust him completely, what should he do then?

In Yuan Xu's opinion, Ji Nai didn't need to take risks for this matter. Was it because he was worried about the Empress Dowager? But it wasn't that serious. At least even if Saiyin Chahun was not sent today, the Empress Dowager would not tear up the contract.

After all, Saiyin Chahun had just turned one month old, and at the full-month banquet, the Empress Dowager did not bring up the issue of Saiyin Chahun going to Shoukang Palace again.

Therefore, Ji Nai's behavior was a little abrupt. The Empress Dowager was not in a hurry, so why should Ji Nai be in a hurry?

Ji Nai was unusually silent. Although she and Yuan Xu talked about everything and she had revealed all the dark sides of her heart to the other person, she still had to be skillful in speaking. She couldn't just show the naked darkness directly, which was too scary.

When Ji Nai was thinking about his speech, Yuan Xu misunderstood him. She hurriedly asked, "But is there something you can't tell me? Could it be that the Empress Dowager is putting pressure on you?" Yuan Xu thought that this guess was very likely.

After all, I had been following Chengrui and Saiyin for some time. If something happened to Ji Nai, I didn't see it, or maybe the other party's methods were too obscure and I was not as sharp as Ji Nai.

Ji Nai noticed Yuan Xu's increasingly loving and compassionate gaze, and couldn't help but feel a chill, [Stop thinking! Stop imagining unrealistic things. ]

"Why is it so unrealistic?" Yuan Xu muttered softly. On the day when Ji Nai gave birth, she saw the expression of the Empress Dowager. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's obstruction and Kangxi's sullen face, Ji Nai might not have seen Saiyinchahun when she woke up.

[The Empress Dowager is not a confused person. Even if she loses her composure for a while, it won't last long. She will soon regain her composure and rationality.]

"Why are you still speaking for her!" Yuan Xu was a little dissatisfied.

Ever since the Empress Dowager began to ask for help from the children, Yuan Xu no longer admired her. No matter how wise she was, she was too cold-blooded and heartless to treat her blood relatives as pawns for her own selfish reasons.

[Calm down, based on the fact that in the previous life, Saiyin Chahun died due to the connivance of the Grand Empress Dowager, and many of the royal heirs died indirectly due to the Grand Empress Dowager's indifference, do you think there is still a possibility for us to reconcile? ]

Yuan Xu thought speechlessly that among the many royal heirs, most of them were Ji Nai's children. Chengrui, Saiyinchahun, Changhua, Changsheng, behind each name was a life that died before growing up, and the blood and tears of their biological mothers.

It is undeniable that Yuan Xu did doubt whether Ji Nai was blinded by Kangxi's favor, his superior status, and the power within his reach, and his original intention had changed.

In order to climb higher, he was even willing to let go of past grudges and form an alliance with the Empress Dowager. After all, that was a thing of the previous life. In this life, Saiyin Chahun was still alive and well, wasn't he?
