Chapter 701 I Also Want to Enter the Court

However, Cheng Rui's temperament is ultimately too mild. Once Saiyinchahun enters the court, well, that's when things will get interesting.

If Ji Nai knew Kangxi's thoughts, he would surely think that Kangxi was greedy and wanted more after getting what he wanted once. However, human nature is often like this...

"His Majesty is not a murderer. The Hesheli family knows that although their actions are disgusting, they have not crossed the line. They are confident that you will not pursue the matter. Having tasted the sweetness for the first time, they naturally cannot stop now."

Now that Chengrui is standing up for you, they should calm down a bit, or at least not be so obvious and treat everyone like fools.

"Hmph!" Kangxi naturally knew that the reason why the Hesheli family was so confident in taking advantage of him was not because he was too good-tempered, but because they had Yinreng as their support.

Both sides were well aware that unless Kangxi was determined to change the crown prince and disregarded the turmoil in the court, there would be no trouble as long as the Hesheli family did not cross Kangxi's bottom line.

Ji Nai scolded, "You clearly know what's going on, yet you still insist on getting angry with those bastards. Aren't you afraid of hurting your health?"

"You dog?"

Kangxi was clearly smiling, but Ji Nai deliberately twisted his meaning, saying, "What, Your Majesty, do you want to accuse me of insulting the maternal relatives? That's right, no matter what, Suo'etu is still the Crown Prince's maternal uncle, how could I possibly say such a thing?"

Knowing full well that Ji Nai was causing trouble, Kangxi still swore to the heavens, "Heaven and earth bear witness, in my heart, even if the entire Hesheli family were tied together, they wouldn't be worth a single hair of yours."

"Song'etu is one of your most important ministers, how can I compare?"

"Even if Songgotu is truly so important that no one can replace him, he is still ultimately an outsider. How can he withstand the power of pillow talk?"

Ji Nai smiled and leaned closer to Kangxi, asking curiously, "Does Your Majesty really want to be a tyrant?"

"A beautiful woman can bring disaster, but a ruler's incompetence is his own fault. If I were to become a foolish ruler, it would be because I have lost my mind, and what does it have to do with you?"

"What does His Majesty mean by 'pillow talk'?"

"I loved your smile that day, it was beautiful."

Ji Nai was momentarily stunned, then pushed away the increasingly close Kangxi and said, "If Your Majesty likes bright and flamboyant women, you can go to Yikun Palace. Why come to my Zhongcui Palace?"

Kangxi was not annoyed and said sincerely, "I only like that kind of smile on your face the most."

"I like it" and "I like it the most" are not the same. It is a sentence that should make people happy, but you have to add the word "most"!

Ultimately, Ji Nai's many concerns and reasons all stemmed from her own anxieties, yet she had no right to be. Kangxi was a charming man, but not a good match; how could she dare to give him her whole heart?

Ji Nai's feelings were complicated, and she drifted off into thought. When she came to her senses, she found that a finger was hooking her collar. Had Kangxi not noticed her earlier dejection? Ji Nai didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed.

She didn't refuse just because it was still daytime, letting Kangxi do as he pleased. Her clothes were peeled away layer by layer, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, your heart ailment hasn't flared up in a while, has it? Just in case, let me massage it for you."

Can chest pain be cured by rubbing it? What, do you really think your hands are dragon claws that can cure all diseases and prevent old ailments from flaring up just by touching them?

"Father, I'm coming in!"

Both Ji Nai, whose clothes were half off, and Kangxi, who was on top of her, were startled and shuddered. Ji Nai pushed Kangxi away and quickly straightened her clothes, not forgetting to tell Kangxi to get up and tidy himself up as well.

Turning his head and seeing that Kangxi was not moving, Ji Nai said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Why don't you hurry up! That child Saiyinchahun might really break in."

Kangxi remained silent with a dark expression, refusing to move.

Ji Nai followed his gaze downwards, his face instantly turning red. Suppressing his embarrassment, he helped Kangxi up, straightened his clothes, and gently coaxed him, "We were too impulsive, don't be angry with the child. Anyway, it won't be long before dark..."

Kangxi gave Ji Nai a look that said, "You just wait," trying to calm his impulse.

"Where are you? Get back in here!"

"Hehe!" Saiyinchahun peeked out from the doorway, his smile instantly freezing as he met his father's dark gaze. He cautiously asked, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

"Get in here!"

"Oh." Saiyinchahun stopped ten steps away from his father.

Ji Nai nudged Kangxi, signaling him to tone it down. If the clever Saiyinchahun realized the reason for Kangxi's anger, Ji Nai would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Kangxi, holding his breath, asked, "What is it?"

"...I also want to join the court." Saiyinchahun's voice was weak, completely lacking his previous excitement.

Upon hearing this, Kangxi frowned and scrutinized the Heavenly Demon Star before him.

Ji Nai glanced at Kangxi and asked on his behalf, "What do you want to do?"

“Of course I want to share my father’s burdens, what else could it be for?” Saiyinchahun looked at his mother with innocent eyes, seemingly genuinely not understanding why she asked such a question.

"Oh? So you have absolutely no intention of taking revenge on Suo'etu?"

"Mother, you actually doubt me?" Saiyinchahun clutched her heart, looking as if she had suffered a great blow. "My intentions are as clear as heaven and earth, as clear as the sun and moon..."

"to be honest."

"..." Saiyinchahun was silent for a moment, then squeezed between his father and mother and said in a coquettish tone, "Oh dear, I'll only be gone for a few days. I'll come back after the matter of the natural disaster is settled."

Emperor Kangxi was amused and refused outright, saying, "If you were truly sincere in your desire to enter the court, I might consider it, but now..."

"What's going on now?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid! Is the imperial court a place you can come and go as you please?"

"I'm doing this for you and my elder brother. First, to help you vent your anger. Second, my elder brother is going to court to do real work, but that Suo'exiang is pestering him like a mad dog. How can he get anything done? But with me drawing the fire, things will be different."

"No means no."

"Father~"

"Calling for ancestors won't help."

"Mother~"

"No, stop! You can decide what happens in the previous dynasty; your mother won't interfere."

Sainchahun was somewhat displeased; he had never failed to get what he wanted before. His eyes darted around… and then he received a blow to the head.

"Don't get any funny ideas."

"Listen to your father, this is no child's play, and the previous dynasty is not a place where you can act recklessly."

Saincha left in a huff.

Ji Nai shook his head helplessly. This child was intelligent and spoiled by so many people, never having suffered any loss. "Does His Majesty still dare to indulge him? Look how bold he has become now."

"When have I ever indulged him?" Kangxi vehemently denied.
