Chapter 215: The Birth of Saiyinchahun
The reason why the Empress Dowager was willing to condescend and wait outside Ji Nai's delivery room again was because of the child.
Kangxi's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tighter and tighter, but he welcomed the two elders in with a respectful look and asked them to sit down.
"Why did the Imperial Grandmother come here in person? Once Ma Jia gives birth safely, I will go to the Cining Palace to announce the good news to the Imperial Grandmother."
"I want to see my grandson as soon as possible."
Looking at the words and actions of the Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen, who was blinded by jealousy, still had a strange feeling in her heart. Why did she feel that the Grand Empress Dowager had come with bad intentions today?
Suddenly, an idea came to the Queen's mind: She had heard before that the Grand Empress Dowager wanted to raise a prince, but Kangxi only had a few precious little princes, so how could she be willing to give them to the Grand Empress Dowager?
You have to know that behind the Empress Dowager stood Khorchin, who, although on good terms with the Qing, was also on guard against by His Majesty. The prince raised by the Empress Dowager was destined to be unable to inherit the throne.
Kangxi didn't have too many sons, so he wouldn't feel bad about giving up one of his children to make the Empress Dowager happy.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager really came for the child in Ma Jia's belly?
That's really, really great.
Although this would indeed allow the Zhongcui Palace and the Cining Palace to form an alliance, the prince who was not qualified to compete for the crown prince position would still have to rely on others even if Ma Jia was associated with the Empress Dowager.
Although the Queen did not know about the deal between Ji Nai and the Empress Dowager, it did not stop her from making it happen.
"The Empress Dowager really likes Rongpin's child."
"As long as he is my grandson, I like him." The Empress Dowager replied indifferently.
"I think someone as filial as Rongpin would definitely not prevent the Empress Dowager from getting close to her grandchildren."
This sentence touched the heart of the Grand Empress Dowager, and she finally smiled at the Queen. Seeing this, the Queen spoke even more vigorously, not noticing that Kangxi's eyes were getting colder and colder as he looked at her.
However, even if she noticed it, the Queen might not care. After all, this was a good opportunity to eliminate a competitor for Chenghu, and it could also kill two birds with one stone and please the Grand Empress Dowager. Didn't the Grand Empress Dowager give her a good face for the first time in her life?
Concubine Hui, who was standing low-key among the concubines, looked at the queen sarcastically.
The queen really did not hesitate to harm others just to support her son, but what would the situation be like if the person she supported was no longer around?
The curve of Concubine Hui's mouth appeared quickly and disappeared even faster.
Finally, she took a deep look at Kangxi, lowered her head to suppress the emotions in her heart, and said, "Your Highness, Grand Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, I am not feeling well and would like to go back first."
The Grand Empress Dowager, who was talking animatedly with the Queen, was very unhappy about being interrupted, but considering that Nara was pregnant and had just lost her son, she didn't say anything and just ignored her.
On the contrary, Kangxi paid some attention to Ji Nai and said a few words to Concubine Hui, asking her to go back and have a good rest. He completely ignored the fact that Concubine Hui deliberately skipped the Queen and was disrespectful to her, and he didn't want to see the Queen's gloomy face.
The queen was unhappy that she was not respected, so he was also unhappy.
His beloved woman was giving birth to his child inside, and he didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Outside, his legally married wife wanted to give away her unborn child in order to suppress him.
Even though this matter had already been decided, it did not prevent the queen from having hateful thoughts.
There is no moment more clearly than now that makes Kangxi realize that the queen is not only not a qualified queen, but also not a qualified wife.
The empress, concubines, even the grand empress dowager and the empress dowager, they all had their own little thoughts and did not care about the feelings of the emperor.
She was the only one who cared about whether the people inside were safe. Even though her own child was the blood relative of the Empress Dowager, she was not worried at all.
If the Grand Empress Dowager really cared about her grandson, she would not have behaved like this even for her own sake. Therefore, the more Kangxi worried about Ji Nai, the more he hated the performances of the Queen and the Grand Empress Dowager.
The Grand Empress Dowager looked down on the Empress, and the Empress did not truly respect the Grand Empress Dowager. The reason why the two of them were so close now was simply driven by interests.
Kangxi was filled with all kinds of emotions, including worry, dissatisfaction, tension, and disgust, until the sound of a baby crying woke him up.
His heart skipped a beat. The child had been born, and judging by the cry, it was a healthy child. But what about Ji Nai? How was she now?
Kangxi was afraid of hearing bad news, but fortunately he still had his sense and remembered that there were outsiders present and he could not lose his composure.
The midwife came out happily holding a bright yellow package. Concubine Rong was indeed a blessed person, as she had safely given birth to her second healthy prince.
She was also the one who delivered Prince Chengrui. With the blessing of the prince, her status in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also rose. It was no wonder that she specially arranged to take on this job. Zhongcui Palace was really her blessed place.
When Kangxi saw the midwife's expression, he knew that Ji Nai was most likely okay. But he didn't feel relieved until he heard the words "Congratulations to His Majesty, Concubine Rong and her child are safe!"
Due to the rule of holding grandchildren instead of sons, the midwife handed the child to the Grand Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, the child opened his eyes as soon as he was in the Grand Empress Dowager's arms.
Although Yuan Xu, who was following nearby, was surprised that a newborn baby could open its eyes, he also knew that the baby at that time could not see at all and it was all a coincidence.
But the Empress Dowager and others did not think so. They all believed that this was a sign that the child and the Empress Dowager were destined to be together.
"Look, this child opened his eyes as soon as he got into the arms of the ancestor. It can be seen that he is a filial and good child. He wants to remember what the ancestor looks like."
The Grand Empress Dowager thought the same thing. When she heard what the Queen said, she was even happier and said that this child was destined to be with her. When the Queen saw this, she fanned the flames even more, as if she wanted the Grand Empress Dowager to take the child away immediately.
As Kangxi watched this scene, his heart grew colder and colder.
The Empress Dowager also knew that although the deal between her and Ji Nai had been finalized, she still needed Kangxi's approval if she wanted to take the child away, so she deliberately asked, "What does the emperor think?"
Kangxi suppressed his emotions and said with a smile: "This child is indeed destined to be with the Imperial Grandmother."
"In that case..." The Empress Dowager interrupted her before she could finish her words.
"Empress Mother! Why don't you give this child a name?"
Kangxi also said: "It would be a blessing for the child to be given a name by the Imperial Grandmother."
The Grand Empress Dowager was about to speak up and suggest taking the child to Shoukang Palace right away, but was interrupted by the Empress Dowager. And this person happened to be Wu Yunna, the person she felt the most sorry for.
