Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 717 Strict Father and Strict Mother

Kangxi's voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared completely. He could have continued to argue, but under Ji Nai's knowing gaze, he could no longer utter a single word.

Ji Nai gave Kangxi a "you just wait" look, then turned to Saiyinchahun and said, "Your father knows his limits, and it's unlikely he'll indulge you."

Then, looking at the still unconvinced Saiyinchahun, Ji Nai handed the stick in his hand to Kangxi, and under Saiyinchahun's incredulous gaze, slowly said, "Your Majesty must be quite angry."

He then stepped aside, signaling to Kangxi to quickly give the child a beating to vent his anger.

Kangxi: "..."

Emperor Kangxi truly couldn't bring himself to do it.

When he first saw Saiyinchahun acting foolishly in the Imperial Study, he did want to pin him to the ground and beat him up, but after understanding Saiyinchahun's intentions, his anger gradually dissipated.

Especially when he saw that while the ministers who opposed him were being bullied, they still took care of him and moved the charcoal brazier away from him as soon as possible. Kangxi was only concerned with watching the others make fools of themselves.

Not to mention the tactic of "slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat," which made Kangxi unwilling to even pretend to punish Saiyinchahun.

Under Ji Nai's intimidation, Kangxi dared not side with Saiyinchahun, which already made him feel guilty, although that guilt had completely disappeared when Saiyinchahun chose to smear him at the first opportunity.

But now, if Emperor Kangxi were to punish the meritorious officials of today, he really wouldn't be able to do it.

Even if Saiyinchahun had remained unrepentant and hadn't confessed because he sensed Kangxi's hesitation, Kangxi wouldn't have felt any guilt.

"This...it can't be that bad, can it?"

"what happened?"

"Ahem, you've already given me a beating. If I were to lay another hand on you, what if... what if my mother found out? She would be heartbroken."

"Is that so?" Ji Nai looked at Kangxi with a half-smile.

Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that Sainchahun had finished teaching him a lesson, and now it was his turn.

Ji Nai gritted his teeth, deciding to save face for the children, and said only, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that we had a fight not long ago about the strict father and mother?"

Kangxi understood Ji Nai's meaning and immediately assured him, "If a similar incident happens again, I will definitely handle it properly and will not let you be the bad guy disciplining the child."

Ji Nai snorted coldly, indicating that today's matter was over, but she didn't want to see that scoundrel's face now, so she sent him to Cining Palace.

"Now?" Kangxi was somewhat reluctant. He hadn't been intimate with Ji Nai for a long time and missed her terribly.

"Putting everything else aside, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have remained silent to show their support for you. Even if you had people around them before, under the influence of natural disasters, even the best skills cannot withstand an accident."

And... it's also my fault for being impatient. I was worried that Rongxian and the other three were too young to escape, so... now it's all over. Zhongcui Palace has become the only one in the palace where everyone is watching.

Today, Xiao Anzi also said that the livestock in Nanyuan are becoming increasingly restless, and he fears an earthquake might occur within the next few days. Even if the previous dynasty's regulations haven't been finalized, the inner palace cannot continue to delay.”

Looking at the bed, table, and other items that had been moved out, as well as the clutter that had been cleared away, Kangxi suddenly remembered what Ji Nai had done and slapped his forehead, saying, "I almost forgot about this."

When he heard that Ji Nai had moved out with several children, he had already made up his mind that even if the affairs of the previous dynasty were not settled, he would still make a trip to the inner palace to cover up Zhong Cui Palace's outrageous behavior.

"I will go to Cining Palace immediately." With that, Kangxi hesitated, glancing at Saiyinchahun, and asked, "Can you still move?"

Saiyinchahun glanced at his father, rubbed his bottom, and remained silent.

Kangxi touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Your mother is right. Who knows when a natural disaster will strike? We need to hurry. I'm going to Cining Palace; you go to Shou Kang Palace, just in case..."

In order to avoid the unfortunate coincidence that the earth dragon turned over during this period.

Saiyinchahun was still worried about his grandmother, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's alright, it won't affect my movement." Although he said that, Saiyinchahun was in so much pain that he was grimacing, and it was difficult for him to even stand up.

Even Kangxi couldn't bear to look at you like that, and said, "Forget it, I don't need you anymore. If something really happens to you, you won't even be able to protect yourself. Just stay here and behave yourself."

He originally wanted Saiyinchahun to stay away and not linger in front of Ji Nai so that he wouldn't anger him again, but Saiyinchahun had already been taught a lesson, and it was too late for him to hide now.

Sigh, I should have sent Saiyinchahun to Shou Kang Palace first.

Sainchahun clearly realized this as well, his face contorted with rage. He, who was always so confident in his intelligence, had completely forgotten this! No, to be precise, his mother was too terrifying, so subconsciously he knew that he could dodge the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth.

Kangxi glanced at his son with sympathy, then withdrew his guilt. He instructed Liang Jiugong to go to the Qianqing Palace to inform Yinreng, while also sending Wei Zhu to relay messages to the various palaces. Then, he took Chengrui and went out.

"Go to Shou Kang Palace," Kangxi instructed.

Before they reached the fork in the road, Cheng Rui promptly offered his opinion: "Grandmother might be afraid to be alone. Why don't I invite her to the Cining Palace? It would be more reassuring for Grandmother and Grandfather to be together."

Emperor Kangxi thought it made sense. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had a deep bond, and they would miss each other if they were not together. Rather than that, it would be better to keep them under each other's noses so that they could look after each other.

"can."

Upon receiving the news, the six palaces sprang into action. Many breathed a sigh of relief, but others felt uneasy.

So, Consort Rong's actions weren't truly arbitrary; she was the first to receive the news? But why? Even if they acted almost simultaneously, half a day had already passed. What if something had happened during that time…?

"His Majesty is so biased!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Why can't I speak out? With His Majesty treating us differently, I don't believe I'm the only one who's dissatisfied."

"Shut up. Didn't you see that even the Cining Palace and Shou Kang Palace are the same as us? There must be something going on here."

Something happened? What could possibly happen? Someone suddenly remembered Consort Hui, who had run to Zhongcui Palace. She had returned in a sorry state today. Originally, it was thought that she had been scolded by Consort Rong, but now, her reaction at the time made people wonder.

Consort Hui, who was the subject of everyone's suspicions, kept sneezing and then lamented her bad luck with a numb expression. She had clearly kept the news a secret, so why wasn't there another unlucky person like her?
