Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 289 Milk Cake

This was the only guarantee Kangxi could make after much consideration.

This was not what Ji Nai wanted, but if you think about it carefully, this was already a rare opportunity for an emperor who was autocratic.

She could hear the sincerity and seriousness in Kangxi's words. Compared with the frivolous promises that might not be fulfilled at all, Kangxi's words were more reassuring.

It's enough to have a chance to explain.

"Then His Majesty must not forget that."

"No." Kangxi heard Ji Nai's crying tone and joked, "It's still not a possibility. Why are you taking it so seriously?" Although the promise he made was serious.

"Isn't this a precaution? You are so kind to me, there will definitely be many people who are jealous."

After the exercise, there was another fight. Both of them were exhausted and didn't know when they fell asleep. They only remembered that they seemed to be talking in the last second and lost consciousness in the next second.

The next day, Kangxi and Ji Nai got up one after another, looking haggard, with dark circles under their eyes.

When the palace servants saw their master's appearance, they pretended that they saw nothing, but their hearts were like a thousand horses galloping. When they thought about what happened last night, their imaginations ran wild.

The difference is that the servants around Ji Nai were all a little embarrassed, while Liang Jiugong and others once again witnessed the emperor's favor for master Ma Jia, especially after seeing the two symmetrical teeth marks on the shoulder.

Even Yuan Xu, who had disappeared since he tricked Cheng Rui last night, appeared out of nowhere and teased Ji Nai with his eyes still searching for any signs of ambiguity on Ji Nai.

[Can you please tone down your gaze a little? ]

"Tsk, we haven't seen each other for just one night, but you seem to have been drained of your energy. Could it be that Kangxi can replenish his yang by taking his yin?"

Who is she doing this to? The culprit is still making sarcastic remarks.

Ha ha.

[I had a fight with Kangxi last night, stop your dirty look, it was a real fight, not a "fight between goblins".]

"Ah? No, why? What happened that you dared to fight with the emperor?"

[He slandered me, thinking that the friend who died young before I entered the palace was my old lover.]

"A friend who died young, did you have any friends before you entered the palace? How come I didn't know about them? Was it a mess left behind by the original owner?"

[Isn't the original owner the original me in this life? Do you think I would do such a stupid thing that, if exposed, would most likely kill my family along with me? ]

"Oh, then, is it possible that someone is trying to frame you?" Yuan Xu's eyes widened, and he asked anxiously, "Did Kangxi believe you? He must have believed you, otherwise he wouldn't have left this morning, and he looked so calm."

[Who do you think meets the two conditions of friend and premature death? ]

"Yes, Qiqige? But Kangxi knows that she is a woman. He wouldn't suspect that you are lesbians, right?"

Although Ji Nai originally didn't understand the meaning of the word "lily", he could guess now that it probably referred to the beauty of polishing a mirror, and he was quite disgusted by it.

No, she can't be the only one feeling sick.

[Almost, but the friend who died young was you.]

Yuan Xu’s first reaction was, I didn’t die young, I was already in my twenties when I died. His second reaction was, how could Kangxi know of his existence.

Ji Nai seemed to know Yuan Xu's thoughts and uttered two words lightly: "Doll".

Doll? What doll?

Yuan Xu suddenly thought of the puppet that Ji Nai had given him through Kangxi, which was a trace of his existence in this world.

Their eyes met, and then they both turned their heads away in disgust.

"You've gone too far. You actually took revenge on me like this."

[You were the first to make a move. Stop making fun of me. I have to go pay my respects to the Empress Dowager in a little while. I think there will be another verbal battle. And there are also things that Kangxi has to tell me. It’s a headache.]

After hearing what Ji Nai said, although Yuan Xu was still mumbling, his voice instantly became much quieter. Without waiting for Ji Nai to speak, he added a few drops of spiritual liquid into Ji Nai's porridge.

After breakfast, Ji Nai's fatigue disappeared a lot, and his face became more rosy. Ji Nai looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. He thought that he would not be criticized in this state.

The moment Ji Nai stepped into the main hall of the Cining Palace, as expected, the conversations in the hall disappeared instantly and became quiet. Ji Nai didn't care at all and was still complaining to Yuan Xu:

[I remember that the last person to receive this treatment was the Queen, right? The one before that was Nara? Aren’t these people tired of expressing their dissatisfaction in this way all the time?]

"Who cares? Even if they feel uncomfortable, they still have to pay their respects to you. I just like seeing them not being able to stand you but being unable to get rid of you."

[Stop talking. If you keep saying that, I might really fall in love with you and turn into another Nara clan.]

"Forget it. Concubine Hui was so arrogant back then. She attracted too much hatred."

Ji Nai ignored the dissatisfaction and malice in everyone's eyes. Instead, when he exchanged greetings with Huipin, he unexpectedly discovered that there was only friendliness in her eyes, but he didn't know whether it was true or false.

If it was fake, then the other party must have some plan, and she would just wait for the other party to make a move. If it was true, she might consider forming an alliance with the other party temporarily.

Although Ji Nai didn't think that she had any problems that could be safely handed over to Huipin, she couldn't rest in peace until the issue in Kunning Palace was resolved.

Ji Nai also smiled friendly at Huipin.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Dong was shocked. Didn't these two have no interactions and even conflicts? How could they look like they had a good relationship?

Thinking of what she was going to do today, Concubine Dong suddenly regretted it. Should she wait and see? If Ma Jia and Nara really joined forces, even if they were added together, they would not be able to match the weight of the two main seats of the first palace.

Soon, the Grand Empress Dowager came out. The old lady smiled and asked everyone to stand up. She seemed to be completely unaware of the recent unrest in the palace.

Then the Empress Dowager ordered the palace servants to bring plates of milk cakes, "This is made from the milk that was just delivered this morning. You can all have a taste."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time that the Empress Dowager was so enthusiastic. For a moment they did not dare to move. Could there be something added to the pastry?

But since it was given by the Grand Empress Dowager, how could they dare to refuse and offend her? Just when Yiergen Jueluo was about to bite the bullet and eat the milk cake to avoid a dull moment in the palace, Huipin spoke first.

"Milk cake? I remember that sister Ma Jia likes to eat milk cake."

Ji Nai was a little dazed, it was indeed true.

Many people are not used to the taste of cow's and goat's milk, so the milk produced by the cows and sheep raised in the palace is mostly sent to the Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace. Even if it is sent to other palaces, it would be a waste.

Of course, if you want to protect your skin, you can get it by spending some money privately.

On the contrary, Qiqige, who was originally from the Mongolian grassland, naturally liked these things. The first time Ji Nai ate milk cake was at Qiqige, and it was surprisingly delicious, not fishy at all.

"Huipin has a good memory. She even remembered that Rongpin liked this."

"It's not that I have a good memory. Concubine Hui sent this milk cake to Zhongcui Palace several times. I also tried it out of curiosity. Unfortunately, it really didn't suit my taste, so I remember it vividly."

"Haha, indeed. Qiqige once said that Rongpin's taste is very similar to that of the people on the Mongolian grasslands. She not only likes cow's milk and goat's milk, but also beef and mutton."

"It turns out that the Empress Dowager ordered the milk cake because Sister Ma Jia liked it. She is so partial."

It must be said that when Nara is not overbearing, she is still very good at talking. When she realized that the Empress Dowager wanted to flatter Rongpin, she immediately put up a ladder.

Ji Nai also smiled and echoed: "Thank you, Grand Empress Dowager, for remembering my preferences."

"That's nothing. If you like, I'll add a bucket of cow's and goat's milk to your share in the future."

Although Ji Nai didn't know what the Empress Dowager was going to do, she naturally accepted the benefits first. Even if she could get these things, what she got was different from what the Empress Dowager gave her.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will have a good time in the future."

Below, the faces of all the concubines were frozen. What happened? Why was the Empress Dowager suddenly so nice to Ma Jia? Should they continue with their plan?
