Chapter 216: Named by Xiaozhuang
What could the Empress Dowager do? She had to give her face.
The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, and then said, "Why not call Saiyin Chahun?"
The Empress Dowager gave the child this name, firstly to urge Kangxi to keep in mind the important events of the Khalkha grassland, and secondly to hope that this great-grandson could be as strong as Tushetusaiyin Khan Chahundorji.
"Sainchahun? This is a good name." The Queen Mother thought that the name chosen by the Grand Queen Mother was very good. She was always soft-hearted and only hoped that the children would be healthy and safe. She didn't have such big ambitions for other things.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, the Empress Dowager reminded: "Then take Saiyin Chahun to Shoukang Palace today."
Seeing the emperor's suddenly cold face, the empress dowager was helpless. How could the empress mother, who was so smart, not see through it? Didn't she realize that when the queen instigated the empress mother, the emperor was already very unhappy?
She interrupted several times just to stop the Empress Dowager from saying this, but she changed the subject herself. But the Empress Dowager also understood that the Empress Dowager was planning for her, so how could she complain?
However, no matter how reluctant Kangxi was, he couldn't refuse the words of the Empress Dowager, even if it was just for filial piety. Moreover, this was something that had been discussed long ago, and if he regretted it now, it might anger the Empress Dowager, and then he would vent his anger on Ji Nai.
However, if I let the Empress Dowager take the child away now, how should I face Ji Nai when she wakes up!
Just when Kangxi was in a dilemma, the Empress Dowager spoke up to help: "How can a newborn baby withstand the bumps and bruises? It's still winter now. It would be bad if Sayin Chahun got frozen. Then, the Empress Dowager would be the one who felt sorry for him."
The Empress Dowager was naturally aware of all this, but she was afraid that Kangxi would go back on his word, so she just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, otherwise, what would happen if something unexpected happened.
The Empress Dowager was not really stupid. After the interruption and reminder from the Empress Dowager, she immediately realized that she was too eager for quick success.
Looking at Kangxi's obviously gloomy face, the Empress Dowager did not want to completely break up with her grandson who had his own ideas, so she took a step back and said, "I am so happy that I have lost my mind."
That's right, why should I be so anxious? The emperor and Ma Jia have already agreed. If I keep pressing them, it will only make them feel disgusted. If they really regret it, it won't be too late for me to take action later.
The Queen, who was watching from the side, always felt that the reactions of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not right, as if there was something she didn't know.
Only after watching to the end did the queen vaguely understand that these people had already decided on Saiyinchahun's destination, but she, as the queen, the mistress of the harem, and the child's biological mother, was completely unaware of it.
Thinking back to how I had instigated and instigated the situation just now, I felt like a joke. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to speak up. Not only did it not have any effect, but it also brought me into trouble.
After the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager left, the Empress noticed the undisguised, cold gaze cast from Kangxi. The Empress trembled and was somewhat afraid to face Kangxi like this.
Unconsciously, Kangxi's aura became more and more intimidating, and he was no longer the young emperor that the empress had first met.
The queen suddenly felt a little regretful. She wondered if she had acted too recklessly. After all, Kangxi was the emperor. If she really touched his bottom line, she was afraid that those so-called supports would be vulnerable.
"I seem to remember that the Queen's house arrest was not lifted."
The queen, who was about to say something nice to surrender, looked at Kangxi in disbelief.
Originally, because Chenghu was ill, Kangxi often went to Kunning Palace to visit him. Although he did not say it explicitly, the house arrest was already in name only. After all, the house arrest prohibited more than just the empress from going out.
As a result, Kangxi's words were a slap in the face of the Queen, and he did so in public, in front of all the concubines and servants.
The Queen's face was burning with anger and resentment in her heart. She knew that Kangxi was taking advantage of the situation because she had just said too much and wanted the Grand Empress Dowager to raise Ma Jia's child.
Even if there was no queen, this matter would have been implemented. This was a vent of anger, and it was also Kangxi's secret dissatisfaction with the queen.
The queen suppressed her urge to cry, bowed her head, and said, "It is my fault. I misunderstood your Majesty's intention. I will return to Kunning Palace now."
After saying that, he turned around and left, not wanting to stay and be laughed at.
After leaving Zhongcui Palace, the Queen could no longer hold back her tears. She covered her face with a handkerchief and hurried back to Kunning Palace. Only when she was alone in the palace did she cry bitterly.
Sometimes, the queen herself feels very divided.
He suddenly became crazy, with only resentment and indifference in his heart. He thought that everyone, including His Majesty and Chenghu, were just pawns for him to satisfy his ambitions. He acted without scruples and recklessly.
He suddenly became weak and regretted everything he had done. He wished he could go back to the past, back to the time when he had not yet broken with Kangxi, back to the time when everything could still be saved.
Desires and emotions alternated, sometimes the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, and sometimes the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, making the queen who was trapped in the center of the vortex suffer.
At this time, the queen finally panicked.
It's not like she didn't realize that something was wrong with her before, but at that time the Queen was only concerned with venting her emotions, and was afraid that her illness would be noticed by others and the matter of deposing her would be brought up again.
Yes, the queen felt that she was ill, as if she had hysteria. But is there a queen with hysteria?
The queen was extremely frightened, and she realized that if this continued, something terrible would definitely happen.
But now I have nothing except the honorable title of queen and a prince. How can I have the ability to win over an imperial physician with outstanding medical skills?
A disease like hysteria is no small matter and must not be disclosed to others.
Thinking that New Year's Eve would be here soon, even if the Emperor was dissatisfied with her, as long as the Empress had not been deposed, he would not keep her under house arrest. She could then find a chance to meet with her family and ask for their help.
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but have a headache. She had acted absurdly before and implicated Marfa. Although Marfa's body was already exhausted at that time, she was the last straw after all.
Moreover, after Mafa's death, she ignored the advice of her family and insisted on taking action against Chengqing. As a result, even though the queen could no longer communicate with the outside world, she knew that the Hesheli family had been in dire straits recently.
Fortunately, he still has Chenghu. As long as this child is there, the Hesheli family and he will be a natural community of interests.
No matter what the Queen was thinking in Kunning Palace, there was a warm atmosphere in Zhongcui Palace.
After giving birth, Ji Nai fell asleep exhausted. Even though the imperial physician said that Ji Nai was fine but just too tired, Kangxi was still worried.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, an hour passed and he still hadn't finished reading several memorials. In the end, he simply moved all the memorials over and took care of Ji Nai while busying himself with official business.
Perhaps because Ji Nai was by his side, Kangxi was very efficient this time.
Chengrui was also worried about his mother. He refused to listen to other people's advice and refused to rest. He insisted on staying by his mother and brother's side.
Even Kangxi's personal persuasion was useless. Chengrui said nothing, but just silently looked at the table that his father brought in and the piles of memorials on the table. It seemed that he said nothing, but in fact he said everything.
Kangxi had no choice but to slap Chengrui's head hard and have someone bring a chaise longue for Chengrui to lie on. He ignored Chengrui's dissatisfied look, and this was already his biggest concession.
Are you kidding? Chengrui's body is very fragile and he can't stand being tired. Now we don't know when Ji Nai will wake up. If Chengrui keeps standing or sitting, if he gets tired, he will be in trouble when Ji Nai wakes up.
When Ji Nai woke up slowly, he saw that the small confinement room had become very crowded. The screen had been removed, and a desk and a chaise longue filled the space in front of the bed.
Ji Nai found it funny, "What is this for?"
Chengrui was very surprised when he heard the voice. He got down from the couch and ran to the bed. However, no matter how fast his short legs moved, they were not faster than Kangxi.
When Chengrui reached the bedside, he saw that his father had already held his mother's hand, asking about her well-being. His small body was completely blocked by his father's body, and he could not see his mother at all.
