Chapter 268 Making fun of people
It can be said that Yuan Xu's trust is even more important than Kangxi's trust, so she doesn't want Yuan Xu to think that she is full of calculations, and that every word and every action has a deep meaning.
The best way to resolve the gap is to be honest with each other and lay your thoughts out to the other person before anything happens.
"Ah, no, I'm not. Oh, I don't think you're too calculating, nor do I mean to dislike you. No, I mean, I'm just worried about you. Yes, I'm worried.
I did say: You may be thinking too much, but I definitely don't mean to reject or have any bad intentions. I just think that you have finally managed to make up for your regrets, so you should enjoy your life in this life and enjoy the happiness of family.
Life is only a few short decades long. If you just plunge into the calculations of the harem, even if Chengrui and the others are still here in this life, what is the difference from the previous life? Isn't the mother-son relationship still shallow? "
"Don't you think I'm a little scary? What I say and what I do are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Just like what you said about the Empress Dowager."
"It's indeed a bit confusing, but you didn't plot against me, so it has nothing to do with me. What's more, I'm not trying to discourage you. Your skills are not good enough to stand up to the Grand Empress Dowager."
"so?"
"So, I won't be afraid, nor will I turn against you because of your calculations. I know this is a real palace fight. If it is really pure and innocent, it will be eaten to the bone without leaving any residue.
Even though I haven't experienced so many things, I'm not stupid. Asking a person to be true, kind, and beautiful in the deep palace, isn't this a brain stem defect? Besides, I told you a long time ago that I would help you, although what I can do now is limited.
But whether it's for the sake of saving my life or for the sake of our friendship, I will help you. Unless one day, you become unrecognizable, then I may really leave.
However, change doesn't happen overnight. I will definitely pull you back before you completely turn evil."
Ji Nai looked at Yuan Xu and smiled unconsciously.
"Then you should also think of a solution."
"Ok?"
"Originally, I planned to let Kangxi teach Chengrui first, but, in the previous life, only Crown Prince Yinreng, who lost his mother at birth, had this treatment. The rest of the princes were only taught for two days at most.
Also, although Chengrui has lost the qualifications to compete for the crown prince in everyone's eyes, such an honor would still make people jealous, especially since he has a younger brother who is also not qualified, but he can still be prepared for any eventuality.
Especially now that Kangxi only has three princes, Chengrui, Saiyinchahun, and Yinzhen, and Yinzhen has been sent out of the palace to be raised, there are only my two sons left in the palace, which is too eye-catching. "
"Wait, wait, why are you telling me this?"
"Didn't you say you would help me? You're still telling me to enjoy life and my family. To be honest, these things are really overwhelming. With you sharing the burden, I can feel a lot more relaxed."
"But……"
"I've never been very smart, and this has been proven by both you and Kangxi, but I can still come up with good ideas, so I trust you."
"But what if the plan I come up with is terrible? That would delay things."
"It doesn't matter. I'm here to check it first before implementing it."
Yuan Xu felt like he had fallen into a trap. Could it be that Ji Nai's original plan was for him to work as a slave if he didn't mind?
His suspicious eyes kept looking at Ji Nai.
Ji Nai saw Yuan Xu's thoughts at a glance and sighed quietly. Alas, this child is too easy to understand. "I really didn't, but you brought it up first, and I couldn't miss this opportunity, so it's a pleasant surprise."
Actually, Ji Nai didn't want to embarrass Yuan Xu, it was mainly because teasing children was so much fun. Through Yuan Xu, Ji Nai understood for the first time why people of that era said: children are given to play with.
After admiring him for a few days and scratching his head, Ji Nai decided to quit while he was ahead and not to really make him angry.
"You, haven't thought of it yet?"
"Do you have an idea?" Yuan Xu felt like his brain was rusty. When he heard Ji Nai's words, he looked expectant, hoping that Ji Nai could come to save him.
Seeing Ji Nai nod, Yuan Xu seemed to have been sucked out of all his energy by a demon, and collapsed on the couch. Then he suddenly jumped up and looked at Ji Nai suspiciously, "Are you teasing me? You had this idea from the beginning, right?"
Ji Nai blinked, and then seriously denied Yuan Xu's accusation, "I said that the trust between people is like glass, although beautiful and dreamy, but never solid.
I was worried about the relationship between you and me several times before. What did you say? Did you think I was making a fuss? But now..." Ji Nai didn't say the rest, just gave Yuan Xu a lonely look.
Yuan Xu felt a little guilty for a moment, then looked at Ji Nai expressionlessly, "Are you playing me?" It should have been a question, but Yuan Xu was very sure, and it turned into a question as soon as he said it.
Although Ji Nai didn't say anything, Yuan Xu still understood. He raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "I was wondering why you were so strange that day. Were you free and treated me as a joke?"
"Are you angry?" Ji Nai asked cautiously while observing Yuan Xu's expression. If Yuan Xu was really angry, she would apologize and then dare to do it again next time.
"No, I just feel that this is not like you." Although Yuan Xu was a little annoyed and angry at the beginning, he was not angry with Ji Nai. He just felt that Ji Nai like this was very strange and novel.
When they first met, Ji Nai looked lifeless, not because of her identity as an old ghost who had been dead for hundreds of years, nor because of her appearance.
It's because of her temperament. She is always surrounded by sadness and sorrow. One can tell at a glance that her past was not happy.
Even if she was reborn, she could not grow up again like a real child. Her goal was her last hope, but the responsibility of being a mother and the dangers of the harem made her carry the burden all the time, without a single moment of true happiness.
And now, Ji Nai in front of him was obviously much more relaxed, perhaps because his powerful enemy was defeated and other strong enemies had not yet entered the field, so Ji Nai could loosen the shackles a little and they would not have to keep tightening into his flesh.
Yuan Xu then realized that Ji Nai was actually a playful person and a dramatic actor.
However, Yuan Xu was very happy to see Ji Nai like this, and teased him: "In the past, the pleasures you had with Kangxi in the boudoir were simply unbearable to watch. I thought you had gained experience in that world and used these to seduce Kangxi. Now I know that you are an acting genius."
"Didn't you say you had stye? You're still looking at it."
"Is that what I want to see? You were just a concubine in the beginning. I would like to stay away from you, but the actual situation does not allow it."
The two of them were having a lot of fun bickering.
Fortunately, this scene was not seen by a third person, otherwise they would have thought it was a ghost. How else could we explain why Rongpin, who was always gentle and dignified, would quarrel with the air?
Although Yuan Xu did not come up with a suitable idea, Ji Nai's plan was carried out step by step.
In the past few days, Kangxi went to Zhongcui Palace almost every day. In response to the Empress Dowager's concerns, he gave a very justified reason, "Nara was at fault. No matter how much I liked her before, I couldn't like her anymore as long as I thought of Chenghu. I spared her life and promoted her to a concubine. I was forbearing for the sake of Chengqing and Yinzhen."
"I understand your majesty's feelings, but I'm not asking why you didn't go to the Yanxi Palace. Your Majesty, please don't play tricks on me. It's not like the Ma Jia family and the Nara family are the only ones left in the palace."
The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied. Although the Emperor had said before that he would compensate Ma Jia, she had thought that she would be favored by him in the future, but now this was too much.
The queen was under house arrest due to her insanity, and for the safety of the dragon's body, Kangxi did not have to observe the rules of the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. As long as he did not go to the concubines' palace, he could just slap the queen in the face.
