Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 695 Ama Will Cry

"Sainchahun!" Ji Nai glared angrily at Sainchahun, who was tiptoeing away, "What nonsense are you spouting with your sister all day long?"

Saiyinchahun protested, "Mother! How could I be talking nonsense? Didn't Father secretly hug you and cry?"

Ji Nai opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Saiyinchahun, who said, "Your son can tell when you lie."

"..."

Saiyinchahun asked in surprise, "Did Father really cry in front of you?"

Ji Nai realized what was happening and laughed angrily, "You actually tricked your own mother!"

"That's not the point. The point is that Father actually cried?" Saiyinchahun's eyes darted around, and an idea had already formed in his mind.

Ji Nai was utterly helpless with this son. She tapped him on the head and warned, "Don't get any funny ideas, or if your father beats you up, your mother won't stand in your way."

"I know, I know. I'll take Rongxian and the others out for a walk. They can't be like you, staying cooped up in the house all day."

Looking at the children's retreating figures, Ji Nai said incredulously to the person next to him, "Is he lecturing me?"

Granny Li smiled and said, "The prince means well. Didn't Physician Hu also suggest that you move around more?"

"Isn't this due to a deficiency of qi and blood, and a lack of energy?"

"But when you were in good health, I didn't see you..."

Holding Rongxian in one arm and Yinzhi in the other, Saiyinchahun sighed, "Mother has kept things well hidden." Who would have thought that Tongjia's suspicions were actually true? The relationship between the former and current favorite concubines, who should have been enemies, was truly extraordinary.

"Is Mother too concerned about Father?"

Saiyinchahun looked down at the tiny Yinfu and said, "Even you think so, then guess what Father thinks?"

Yin Fu's eyes trembled slightly as he met his second brother's gaze, everything unspoken.

Saiyinchahun withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and then, imitating his older brother, rubbed Yinfu's head, saying, "I know you're smart, but you're still young. It's not time for you to step up yet. Eat and play as usual."

Yinfu neither agreed nor disagreed with these remarks.

"Don't take this lightly. This is based on my experience. What you've done so far is just a minor incident in your father and mother's eyes, but if it gets any bigger... your father and mother are both capable of dealing with serious matters."

Rongxian patted his second brother's arm disapprovingly and said, "Second brother, don't teach the children bad habits."

Saiyinchahun couldn't help but sneer. Did he need to teach them bad things? Every single one of these people, except for Rongxian, was a troublemaker.

After listening for a while, Yin Hua couldn't hold back any longer and asked impatiently, "Where are we going?"

"Are you going to find your older brother?"

"No, your eldest brother is busy being a good older brother to someone else right now, he doesn't have time to care about us." Saiyinchahun's tone was sour. "Second brother will take you to eat something delicious."

"Go to Shou Kang Palace? Sure." Grandma Huang is fine there; they've always been able to do whatever they want.

Sainchahun glanced at Yinhua but didn't remind him that his every word and action in Shou Kang Palace would eventually be reported to his mother. If he thought he could act recklessly in Shou Kang Palace, he would definitely be punished later.

However, hehe, he had another purpose for going to Shou Kang Palace today.

The quiet Shou Kang Palace has become lively again, even more so than when Saiyinchahun lived there.

"Where is my third sister?" Rongxian preferred playing with her sisters to her brothers, but unfortunately, her mother did not give her a younger sister.

"She's in her room. I'll have someone call her out so you two sisters can keep her company." The Empress Dowager looked at her grandchildren surrounding her and couldn't stop smiling.

She loves this kind of lively atmosphere.

The Third Princess (Kangxi's adopted daughter) was as serene as a lady in a painting. She first bowed to the Empress Dowager according to etiquette, then greeted her brothers, before whispering in Rongxian's ear.

After all, she was the child she had raised herself, so how could the Empress Dowager not know her at all? She smiled and said to Granny An, "The Third Princess is only lively when she is with Rongxian."

Sainchahun sat beside the Empress Dowager, talking to her while keeping a close eye on the several bad habits that Yinhua had developed, preparing to complain to his mother when they got back.

With six siblings from the same mother, he can't be the only one getting beaten up all the time; how would that make him, the older brother, save face?

"Why did you suddenly decide to come see me today?"

"Couldn't it be that your grandson misses you?"

"Forget it, tell the truth, did your Emperor father scold you again?"

"...Your Majesty is wise."

"I knew it. Speak, what is it this time?"

"Father Emperor hit too hard. I couldn't help but shed tears, and then I got beaten up by Father Emperor again. He even said that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty shed blood but not tears. Hmph, I don't believe that Father Emperor has never cried."

The Empress Dowager paused, recalling, "It seems there really isn't one."

"No way?"

"Your father ascended the throne at the age of eight, and lost both his father and mother in succession. He was then suppressed by Ao Bai. His journey has been truly difficult. However, at least in public, I have never seen him shed a tear."

"That's right. Father Emperor is the emperor, and he ascended the throne at a young age, so he is easily looked down upon. Naturally, he cannot show any weakness to the outside world."

"Since you know that your father, the Emperor, has it tough, then stop going against him all the time."

"No way! Father Emperor isn't an outsider. Can't I even cry in front of him? He must have felt that beating me once wasn't enough, so he found an excuse to beat me again. It's all Father Emperor's fault. My bottom still hurts."

"You!" The Empress Dowager had never seen a father and son interact like this before, but since the Emperor himself didn't mind, she naturally wouldn't say anything.

Throughout her life, except on the grasslands, she had always been submissive and resigned, so naturally she hoped that the children she raised could live more freely. Moreover, it was because of her that the intelligent Sainchahun was denied that position…

Out of guilt, the Empress Dowager was almost always there for this child. Even if Saiyinchahun was just joking with his father, the Emperor, and actually offended the Emperor, the Empress Dowager would protect him with all her might.

That evening, when Kangxi and Chengrui returned to Zhongcui Palace, they saw Yinhua and the other two kneeling in a row, being punished.

"What's going on?" It's really strange that the troublemaker, Saiyinchahun, wasn't punished.

"Father! What kind of look is that?"

Kangxi completely ignored him, walked to Ji Nai's side, naturally took her hand, and asked, "What trouble have they gotten into?"

Ji Nai explained helplessly, "This afternoon, Saiyinchahun took them to Shou Kang Palace... You know the Empress Dowager's temperament. Look, relying on the Empress Dowager's kindness, the bad habits that were finally corrected have resurfaced."
