Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 576 Not asking for a doctor

"Madame Li, go to the kitchen and ask them to boil some hawthorn water."

Ji Nai stayed by Kangxi's side, rubbing his belly with one hand, and said unhappily, "These children are ignorant. Your Majesty, as their father, how can you join in their mischief?"

Kangxi wanted to cover his face, but he didn't want to. He just thought it was funny, and then...

Although it was childish, it was really funny to see the kids, especially Saiyin Chahun, getting angry because he couldn't win the fight.

Kangxi buried his face in Ji Nai's belly and said in a muffled voice, "Liang Jiugong, go guard outside and don't let anyone come near."

Saiyin Chahun looked at his father's current appearance and couldn't help but curl his lips. He whispered to his eldest brother Cricket: "Father is so weak."

Even he and his elder brother were rubbing their own bellies. Four-year-old Rongxian could still take care of his younger brother, but his father asked his mother for help. It was really disgusting.

It was not until many years later that Saiyin Chahun realized what this scene represented. At that moment, his dissatisfaction with his father became even greater, and the image of Kangxi in his mind changed from domineering and strong to shameless.

Although Ji Nai's hands did not leave Kangxi's belly, his attention was always on the children. Seeing that the children were still whimpering after rubbing for a long time, he said worriedly: "Why don't we call the imperial physician?"

"do not want!"

"No, no."

"No need, mother."

Ji Nai's suggestion was unanimously opposed by Kangxi and his children. If they really wanted to invite an imperial physician, they would be humiliated.

It has to be said that both father and sons are equally concerned about their reputation, including the youngest Yinfu. Although he did not say anything, the rejection in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Otherwise, just say I'm not feeling well and ask the doctor to come over first."

"No," Kangxi refused. "Today is Yinfu's birthday. If we invite the imperial physician, who knows how much trouble it will cause. It will be bad for Yinfu."

Yinfu looked at his father, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he lowered his head and quietly nestled beside his sister, asking her to rub his belly.

It was as if what his father and mother said had nothing to do with him.

"Then what should we do if you feel uncomfortable? Especially Chengrui...them."

The humming sound disappeared instantly, and the children blushed quietly. In fact, they were not that uncomfortable. The reason why they kept making noises with their mouths was not only to attract their mother's attention, but also because the atmosphere was so comfortable that people couldn't help but relax.

"Not really." They were just busy fighting for the food and accidentally overeaten, but the situation was not serious and they could not bear it.

"Oh, even if it comes to that, I'm afraid you'll still be stubborn and refuse to call the imperial physician."

"Well, just take a break. If that doesn't work, go out for a walk."

Ji Nai looked at the children. It was surprising that even Saiyin Chahun hadn't stood up to Kangxi this time. "Alright, I'll leave you alone."

"What happened?" Wei Zhu couldn't help but ask when he saw Liang Jiugong coming out.

"If you don't want to die, don't ask."

Such a serious attitude frightened Wei Zhu, and also alarmed the eyes that were let in from the Cining Palace. He remembered the direction that Li Ma had gone just now, and after a moment's deliberation, he decided to follow her.

"Mammy, is this... could it be that today's meal doesn't suit the tastes of the masters?"

Nanny Li recalled the "miserable plight" of her masters and twitched her lips. "No, the master asked for a few bowls of hawthorn water to be boiled, so I came to make a trip."

"Oh, there's no need to bother you. You can just ask one of your servants to come over and tell them. There's no need for you to come here in person."

They were all servants of the Zhongcui Palace. Even though Nanny Li disliked her fawning enthusiasm, she didn't intend to embarrass him and explained, "Young Master, please accept my honor. I have to come and watch."

I think the master means the same thing, otherwise why would she come here in person.

The eunuch in charge of the small kitchen immediately understood that this person was overeating, but he didn't know which one it was. However, this was not something he could find out on his own. Didn't he see that Li Ma Ma had already stepped in?

It can be seen that the masters do not want others to know about this matter. In this case, as a servant, you naturally cannot ask too much.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. The desserts and sweet soup after the meal will be ready soon."

When Nanny Li heard that the other party did not mention hawthorn water again, she knew that he understood. She smiled and exchanged a few words with the steward before leaving.

Looking at Li Ma's back as she left, the eunuch in charge felt somewhat proud of his own cleverness and thoroughness, otherwise why would he be the one in charge?

"Go, cook a pot of hawthorn, make it stronger."

"Godfather, since the master doesn't want others to know, then we can just send a bowl over and mix it with the other syrups. Wouldn't that make it invisible?"

The eunuch in charge glanced at the foolish son and asked, "Did you come up with this idea yourself?"

The man thought his godfather was pleased that he had finally made progress, so he leaned over and said shamelessly, "It was my son's own idea."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the head.

"You smart-aleck fool! Since the master doesn't want others to know, you still dare to act on your own!" You are afraid that the master won't notice your little thoughts, right?

The eunuch in charge gave his son a lecture and finally said something harsh, "You can be stupid to make a living in the palace, but you can't be dumb. If you do it again, you'll have to find another way out. I can't tolerate a big Buddha like you here."

Although the eunuch in charge liked to suppress the people in the small kitchen and refused to let them take the lead, he was not difficult to get along with. At least he did not like to beat, scold or humiliate them, and he would not deduct the monthly salary and bonus.

Therefore, everyone below wanted to squeeze out the godson of the steward and replace him with themselves so as to improve their relationship with the eunuch in charge.

After all, although the eunuch in charge oppressed others, he was extremely good to his godson. If the other party was not really a waste, he would have shown up in front of the master long ago.

Well, this time they found an opportunity. Someone heard the conversation between Nanny Li and the eunuch in charge, and instigated this idiot to go and share the worries of his godfather, so as to prove that his son had grown up and could be sent by the steward to show his face in front of the master. The result was almost what they expected.

Next time, the scene in the small kitchen of Zhongcui Palace will be different.

"What's going on? He's kowtowing and begging for mercy." Yuqin walked in and frowned in dissatisfaction.

The eunuch in charge was startled, then reacted and said evasively:

"This kid made a mistake. I thought my master was kind and didn't like to use torture, so I fined him a few months' salary. But this bastard turned out to be a miser. He treated deducting a little from his salary like he was killing him."

Although the housekeeper's godson was stupid, he still had some brains. He understood that his godfather was trying to excuse him, so he said with a deliberately bitter face, "This servant relies on this little money every month. You can beat me with a stick, but please don't deduct my money."

"Miss Yuqin, look at this... I'm sorry to make you laugh. What brings you here?"

Yuqin actually knew that there were struggles everywhere in the palace, not only among the masters, but also among the servants. Although Zhongcui Palace was run like an iron barrel by the master and Nanny Li, the servants under them also had their own little thoughts.

It's just because the master is a concubine and has a prince, so no matter how fiercely these people fight, they dare not betray their master.

Therefore, Nanny Li would turn a blind eye and just make sure no one was killed.

"I don't care how you make trouble, but one thing: don't delay the master's business." Yuqin misunderstood that the steward was extorting money from the young eunuchs under him, but seeing that the young eunuch didn't look like he couldn't survive, she didn't intend to interfere.

After all, she was just a second-class palace maid. If she could not serve her master personally, the small kitchen manager in front of her would not take her seriously at all.

"Hey, hey, young lady, don't worry. Your servants are well aware of the situation and will not forget your master's instructions. Don't worry, the hawthorn water is almost ready and will be delivered to you soon."

"Don't forget Madam Li's instructions. If this gets out..."

"Don't worry, what happens in the small kitchen will never be heard outside."

"That's good. We have five princes in Zhongcui Palace. Even if we keep a low profile, we will still attract jealousy. They won't miss any opportunity to attack the master and the young masters."

The eunuch in charge suddenly realized what was going on, and his smile to Yuqin became sincere.

"Oh, thanks for the reminder, girl."
