Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 633 Spring and Autumn Peak

Emperor Kangxi bent down and personally helped the Empress up, holding her hand and saying:

"Empress, you are my Empress. The Emperor and Empress are one, and should be of one mind. But Empress Hesheli of the past was too selfish and could not do this. Now that it is you, Empress, can I trust you?"

Empress Niohuru looked directly into Kangxi's eyes and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I will earn your trust."

She didn't ask if the other party could trust her, because any intelligent person would know that would be empty talk. So the empress's guarantee was that she would earn the emperor's trust through her actions.

Emperor Kangxi neither confirmed nor denied this. He took the Empress's hand and sat down, then shared a secret with her.

"The Empress Dowager did not like Consort Rong."

Yes, anyone who isn't an idiot can see that.

"It's just that in the past, out of consideration for my feelings, Cheng Rui and the others never did anything out of line."

When Consort Rong gave birth to Yinzhi, she suffered a difficult labor and postpartum hemorrhage. The Empress was not unaware of who was responsible. So, if she had reservations before, are she no longer so cautious now?

"Actually, I understand that the Empress Dowager does this for my sake, because she is worried that I will be preoccupied with my personal feelings."

That's far too euphemistic. The Empress Dowager was clearly obsessed with the idea of ​​having true love for the emperor after experiencing the examples of Emperor Taizong and the late emperor.

Even though Consort Rong was favored, the Emperor did not do anything foolish just to avoid trouble, but the Empress Dowager still could not tolerate Consort Rong.

"Secondly, it is for the sake of Saiyinchahun."

The Empress was taken aback. Saiyinchahun had been sent to Shou Kang Palace to be raised since childhood, but he had maintained contact with Zhongcui Palace over the years, and the two sides got along quite well.

But judging from His Majesty's words, the situation of the Empress Dowager... is different from that of the Tongjia clan and the Wuya clan. It is more like a dispute between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law over the custody of their grandson.

She had indeed heard similar examples before, but she found them absurd. They were all family, so what difference did it make which one they were closer to? Rather than arguing about which child loved more, they seemed to be vying for influence over the child.

The Empress's eyelids fluttered slightly as she looked at His Majesty, who continued speaking, word by word:

"Perhaps the Empress Dowager is getting old and confused. She actually thinks that Sainchahun is too smart and not good, so she turns to want to get closer to Yinti."

However, Sumalagu noticed this foolish thought as soon as it arose.

She had served the Empress Dowager for so many years, and their bond was special; the Empress Dowager could listen to what Su Mala Gu said.

The Empress's face grew paler and paler, and Kangxi knew that she had understood his meaning.

"Perhaps she feels sorry for Sainchahun's close relationship over the years, so the Empress Dowager is ill; it's a heartache," Kangxi said with a smile as he finished the sentence.

The "Sainchahun" in this sentence not only represents Sainchahun, but also himself.

When he first received the news, Kangxi had mixed feelings, but so what?

He was indeed grateful for the Empress Dowager's support back then, but he was the one who sat on the throne, and no one could be forgiven for having rebellious thoughts, even if the other party took the sentiment into consideration and eventually gave up the idea.

Because from the moment the Empress Dowager harbored unwarranted ambitions, they were no longer simply grandfather and granddaughter, but political enemies.

"The Empress Dowager is too old to support her in supporting a young emperor to ascend the throne for the third time."

"Of course, His Majesty is in the prime of his life and will not allow the Empress Dowager to suffer in her old age."

The two exchanged a smile; talking to a smart person is so easy.

After achieving his goal, Kangxi left Kunning Palace directly. When he passed by Tongjia, he did not stop walking and did not even spare a glance for her.

The forgotten Consort Tongjia was not disappointed; in fact, the current outcome was the best she had ever imagined.

After Kangxi sat in the imperial carriage, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhongcui Palace. He seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Perhaps seeing that His Majesty remained silent for a long time, and that the Grand Eunuch was as quiet as a quail, one of the servants who had been eager to speak up jumped out impatiently, trying to guess His Majesty's thoughts, and asked, "Does His Majesty intend to proceed to Zhongcui Palace?"

Kangxi gave Liang Jiugong a warning look and said coldly, "Return to Qianqing Palace."

As for the clueless servant beside him, he didn't need to deal with him personally.

Liang Jiugong's face was very ugly. With him in charge, there were still servants who dared to overstep his bounds.

Everyone knows that Liang Jiugong is extremely stingy. Not only is he fiercely competing with Wei Zhu, the deputy chief eunuch of the imperial court, but he also suppresses his own apprentices and adopted sons, refusing to let them perform in front of His Majesty.

This bastard is courting death.

Liang Jiugong immediately recognized that this man was from Wei Zhu's faction. He signaled his men to gag him and seize him, waiting to throw him in front of Wei Zhu and tear off a piece of his flesh.

"What, are you now ready to completely break off relations?" Liang Jiugong said sarcastically.

No matter how fiercely he and Wei Zhu fought before, they tacitly agreed not to make a scene in front of the Emperor, because they both knew that this kind of situation was more reassuring to the master than having servants who were of one mind.

All disputes are harmless as long as they are not brought to the forefront, but Wei Zhu's faction's actions now clearly aim to break the tacit understanding between the two sides.

Wei Zhu's expression wasn't much better than Liang Jiugong's. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Seeing Wei Zhu's ashen face, as if she had eaten shit, Liang Jiugong realized what was going on and said with schadenfreude, "You didn't arrange this person?"

If that's the case, then this is really ridiculous. The dignified Deputy Chief Eunuch of the Qianqing Palace can't even control the servants under him.

Wei Zhu glanced at Liang the old scoundrel and said with a forced smile, "You're quite capable to have someone cause trouble right under your nose and even in front of His Majesty."

The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, but how good is Liang Jiuneng, who mocks his own incompetence?

Liang Jiugong could no longer laugh, because he remembered the Emperor's warning look. Perhaps the Emperor had misunderstood that this scoundrel had stood out and that he had done it on purpose to scheme against Wei Zhu.

Liang Jiugong kicked the culprit lying on the ground hard, and seeing him lying there like a dead dog, he said coldly:

"I never expected there was such a person in the Qianqing Palace. If we don't uproot them, neither you nor I will be able to stay by His Majesty's side for long."

When Liang Jiugong returned to the Emperor's side, he saw a plain-looking person walk out, someone who would be easily lost in a crowd. Liang Jiugong didn't exchange pleasantries with the person, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.

Since His Majesty said they were shadows, then I will just treat people as shadows.

“Go to Chengqian Palace and ask her what she wants to choose.”

As for why she didn't go to Kunning Palace, is that even a question? Regardless of the Empress's impression of Tongjia, she wouldn't take the opportunity to torment or make things difficult for her. The Empress is a smart woman; Tongjia must have already gone back by now.
