Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 203: Committing a crime against the odds

Kangxi thought for a moment, and finally asked Liang Jiugong to summon Ji Nai and Cheng Rui to the Qianqing Palace.

When Liang Jiugong heard the order, he was stunned. His Majesty was not unaware of the recent disturbances in the palace, so why did he still "go against the wind"?

But he was just a servant and could only follow orders.

Liang Jiugong originally thought that he would have to spend some time to persuade Master Ma Jia, but he never expected that the other party was just stunned for a moment, and then happily took Prince Chengrui to the Qianqing Palace, without any refusal as he had expected.

When Liang Jiugong left the Qianqing Palace and left the family of four alone, he vaguely heard the voice of his master Ma Jia.

"Although I don't understand why Your Majesty did this, I believe in Your Majesty. Your Majesty will not harm me and Chengrui..."

Liang Jiugong finally understood why the Emperor kept Master Ma Jia in his heart and took so much trouble to consider her. Over the years, the relationship between the two has grown deeper.

Such complete trust would move anyone, let alone the lonely emperor.

After a few times, the concubines in the palace could no longer sit still and wondered why the Empress Dowager hadn't taken action yet. Should they go to the Cining Palace again?

However, after these people were ready to make a move, they still held back their desire to file a complaint. The last time they went to the Cining Palace to file a complaint against Ma Jia, not only did the Empress Dowager not respond, but the Emperor also found out and blamed them.

Who would understand! After waiting for so long for His Majesty to come to her palace, he just had a sullen face the whole time, didn't say a few words, warned them not to talk too much, and not to disturb the Empress Dowager for no reason, and then left, left!

Now, who doesn’t understand what His Majesty means? He is angry, but he is also protecting Ma Jia.

Therefore, even though a group of people were about to be pissed off, they did not dare to act rashly. It was okay to offend Ma Jia, but if they really angered the Emperor, then their lives would be over.

Kangxi thought that the Empress Dowager was on the verge of an outburst, so he went to the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager was unhappy to begin with. Ma Jia was ignorant and had been running to the Palace of Heavenly Purity recently. How could the Emperor be ignorant and let her do what she wanted? Seeing Kangxi coming over with a dark face, she was even more furious.

Therefore, he said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, are you here to call me to task? I didn't hurt your new favorite."

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Grandmother, why do you have to say that? I agree."

"Agree? Agree to what?" The Empress Dowager was puzzled. What did the Emperor mean by this?

"Of course I agreed to hand the baby in Ma Jia's belly over to the Empress Dowager to raise. So, is the Empress Dowager going to say that she didn't know about it?"

Although the Empress Dowager was delighted to have received Kangxi's approval, she was not overwhelmed by this great news. She thought to herself why the Emperor said such a thing and why he had such an expression, as if he was extremely angry.

The Empress Dowager suppressed her initial anger and asked patiently, "Of course I know about this, but it was originally requested by Ma Jia, hoping that she and her child could be protected. Seeing her loving mother's painstaking efforts, I had no choice but to agree.

At that time, Ma Jia said that she would discuss this matter with you herself, but I don’t know why the emperor was so angry. Could it be that he dislikes your mother and doesn’t want her to raise your child, so he made such a fuss? "

Although the Empress Dowager's voice was still gentle, the content of her words was blunt.

After hearing this, Kangxi immediately stood up and bowed, apologizing to the Grand Empress Dowager, "What are you talking about, Grandmother? How could I dislike the Empress Dowager? It's just..."

Seeing Kangxi's complicated expression, the Empress Dowager knew that something might be wrong, so she softened her attitude, helped Kangxi up, and said earnestly: "If you don't dislike him, why are you so hostile?"

Kangxi said hesitantly, "Grandmother, since I have already agreed, then don't let Ma Jia go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity again. If this continues, I will be called a tyrant."

"There have indeed been some unpleasant things said in the palace recently, but that's all because Ma Jia has been going to the Qianqing Palace so frequently." The Empress Dowager paused, and then said, "Could it be that she went to you because of this?"

Kangxi smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, my grandmother, when I stayed at the Zhongcui Palace that day, she told me about this matter, but I still had some concerns at the time, so I didn't agree."

The Empress Dowager understood that the Emperor was not just worried, but actually unwilling to agree to this matter. But she did not expect that Ma Jia could actually make the Emperor change his mind, and she did not know how she did it.

The Queen Mother became interested and asked, "What happened next?"

"After that, just as the rumors said, Ma Jia took Chengrui to the Qianqing Palace to look for me all day long. She cried as soon as they met, crying about Chengrui's health and her own inability to protect the child."

The Empress Dowager really didn't expect that Ma Jia would come up with such an idea. Could it be that she persuaded the Emperor to agree in this way?

"Grandmother also knows that Chengrui's body cannot withstand the wind, how can I bear to turn him away. Besides, as for Ma Jia, I am sorry for her. I know the truth but cannot give them mother and son justice.

It is understandable that she is so scared now, so I cannot blame her too much."

"Alas! The Chengrui incident really wronged them."

When the Empress Dowager listened to Kangxi recounting Ma Jia's actions, she was worried that this would annoy the Emperor. If so, even if the Emperor temporarily agreed to let Wu Yunna raise Ma Jia's child, he would find an opportunity to ruin the matter later.

Besides, what the Empress Dowager wants is not a prince who is disliked by the Emperor.

Fortunately, although Kangxi appeared very helpless, he did not show any impatience or disgust from beginning to end.

It seems that in the emperor's heart, Ma Jia and her son have a certain status. Whether it is out of guilt or other reasons, this is a good thing for the Empress Dowager.

"In fact, what Ma Jia is thinking is not unreasonable. The child is in Shoukang Palace, and with the protection of the Empress Dowager, I can feel more at ease. However, Ma Jia came to me to talk about serious matters. In just a few days, the palace was filled with messages.

Oh, Ma Jia is pregnant but still restless, she is trying to seduce the emperor and bring her child to win his favor. What am I, then? Am I a foolish and incompetent emperor who has no ability to judge people?"

Having said this, Kangxi could no longer suppress his anger.

These people in the palace really are living too comfortably. This evil tendency of spreading rumors for no reason and using them to attack others must not be encouraged.

This was also another purpose for Kangxi to perform this drama in front of the Empress Dowager.

Originally, Kangxi should have gone to look for the queen. She was the master of the harem, and managing the harem was her job.
