Chapter 183 Adopting the Eldest Daughter

According to the trajectory of his previous life, Sony died of illness in the sixth year of Kangxi, but now he passed away quickly due to the stimulation of the flower-viewing banquet incident. Otherwise, he could have held on for a longer time with so many tonics.

This is a good thing for Ji Nai, because it shows that this parallel universe does not have to follow the historical trajectory, so Ji Nai does not need to worry that his actions will attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao and be "corrected".

However, Ji Nai hoped that the fact that Kangxi adopted the eldest daughter of Prince Gong could be "corrected". In history, this princess became Kangxi's adopted daughter and the eldest princess in the palace. She was finally named Princess Gulun Chunxi.

But no one envied her, because everyone knew that Kangxi adopted her for the purpose of letting her take care of Mongolians. In the Qing Dynasty, taking care of Mongolians was a very important national policy. Admittedly, Kangxi might not be happy about it, but he had to do it.

However, at that time, Kangxi had no daughter. The eldest princess born to Zhang and the second princess born to Dong had both died young. Kangxi, who had difficulty in having children, adopted his brother's daughter.

But now, because of Ji Nai's intervention, both princesses survived. In this case, would Kangxi still adopt Chunxi? Ji Nai didn't even know how to start, because it was impossible for her to know the situation in a prince's mansion so well.

Needless to say, he suddenly asked Kangxi to adopt his brother's daughter. The situation of Kangxi's offspring had changed in this life, and he had no shortage of children.

Could it be that Ji Nai was going to say to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, we will have a daughter in the future. In order to make her a special case and not marry to Mongolia, you should adopt a daughter. Only when you have many daughters, our Rongxian will be safe."

Are you crazy? Ji Nai would only say that if he is stupid.

Fortunately, Ji Nai didn't have to worry for a few days, as Kangxi took the initiative to ask Ji Nai for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, are you going to take Prince Gong's eldest daughter into the palace to raise her?"

"Well, it's just that the Empress Dowager doesn't support me doing this, so I'm a little hesitant."

Ji Nai knew that although Kangxi said this, he had actually made up his mind, otherwise he would not have said it in front of him before the matter was decided. Even if Kangxi was really entangled, he would not ask for his opinion. Ji Nai knew his own status.

Therefore, what he was worried about should be who should raise the princess. No matter how loyal a servant was, he was still just a servant. If such a young child left her biological mother and entered the palace, what if something happened? How would Kangxi face his brothers?

"I don't understand why Your Majesty wants to do this, but you must have your reasons. It's just that since the princess is so young and has to leave her mother, it's best for her to be taken care of by the elders."

"Elder?" Kangxi was somewhat interested.

There are not many people in the palace who can be called the child's elders. The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are the child's great-grandmother and grandmother. Kangxi and the Empress are also the child's uncle and aunt.

As for Ji Nai and other concubines, they are not qualified to be the elders of a prince's eldest daughter.

But it was obvious that it was impossible for Kangxi to raise the child himself. In addition to Chenghu, the empress also had Zhang's child. He could not let her raise three children at the same time, as the empress also had to manage the harem.

Before the Queen's death, Kangxi did not intend to take any action. The ministers of the previous dynasty were all shrewd people. If they weakened the Queen's power or suppressed her in any way, some smart people would inevitably think that there was something fishy about the Queen's death.

Of course, even if they knew, they would not say much. But Kangxi was afraid that they would think of Ji Nai. He did not want Ji Nai, who was hurt by the queen, to be stigmatized because of the queen's death.

So... the only ones left are the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. This was also Kangxi's initial thought. He did not expect that Ji Nai would agree with him. They really were in sync.

"Your Majesty?" Ji Nai reminded in confusion. Did she see it wrong just now? For a moment just now, Kangxi looked at her with a very gentle look, and Ji Nai even had goose bumps.

"Well, it's okay. My idea is to let the Grand Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager raise the child. I can't bear to let the child leave his mother at such a young age, but if the great-grandmother or grandmother is around, it might be better. It's just..."

It seemed that the Grand Empress Dowager disagreed. As for the Empress Dowager, although she was a kind and amiable old lady, she never had her own opinions and only listened to the Grand Empress Dowager.

"But what concerns does the Grand Empress Dowager have? In my opinion, the Grand Empress Dowager has always supported His Majesty. If you have any ideas, you can tell her directly. I think she will definitely understand you."

Here, Ji Nai set a trap for the Grand Empress Dowager. If the Grand Empress Dowager insisted on opposing it, it would mean that she did not sympathize with Kangxi and did not support him. However, it was a pity that the Grand Empress Dowager would not make such a mistake.

After listening to Ji Nai's words, Kangxi thought about it and agreed. Although he must accomplish this matter even if the Empress Dowager opposed it, he would feel much more relaxed if he got the Empress Dowager's support.

So on the next day, Kangxi came to the Cining Palace and had a heart-to-heart talk with the Empress Dowager, as if a child was telling his elders about his difficulties and hardships.

Seeing Kangxi like this, the Empress Dowager softened her heart a little, but she was still a little unhappy. "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how your brothers will think of you if you push their daughters out to replace your own children?"

Kangxi was shocked. "What are you talking about, Grandmother? Do you think that I adopted Changning's eldest daughter in order to prevent my own children from raising her?"

The Empress Dowager really thought so, otherwise she would not have opposed it even though she knew it was not a wise move to go against Kangxi.

He let his brother's daughter take care of Mongolia instead of his own daughter. Does that mean that in Kangxi's eyes, Mongolia was a scourge?

Although the Empress Dowager knew that few Qing princesses lived long after marrying into Mongolia, that was Mongolia, her homeland that she longed for, so the Empress Dowager naturally did not want her grandson to be too hostile to Mongolia.

Kangxi saw the reaction of the Empress Dowager and realized the crux of the problem. He smiled bitterly and said, "I am the emperor. Even though I cannot bear to separate my flesh and blood, I will not let my daughter escape and let other people's children take on this responsibility.

However, my grandmother also knows that the Mongolian grassland is vast and the tribes there are countless. However, I only have two daughters at present, so I have to think ahead. It is impossible for this generation to have only two marriages with Mongolia. "

In fact, Kangxi had his own selfish motives. The marriage between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia could not be broken, but from this dynasty onwards, only princesses would marry into Mongolia to allow the bloodline of the Aisin-Gioro family to be integrated into Mongolia, rather than having Mongolian concubines in the emperor's harem.
