Kangxi was walking when he was suddenly bumped into by someone. At the same time, he heard a sweet and soft cry in his ears:

"Go away, go away, I am not a flower, not a flower, don't follow me, don't follow me!"

Shi Nanxi buried herself in Kangxi's arms, pressing her little face against his chest while covering her head and face with a handkerchief, trying to hide something.

Kangxi couldn't help but stop, first looking down at the black head buried in his chest, then looking at the buzzing bee flying towards him.

He looked calm and composed, and calmly raised his sleeves to cover himself.

Then he looked at the stunned Liang Jiugong.

"Not yet."

Liang Jiugong finally reacted and quickly called the guards in the dark. Soon, a team of guards appeared in the place where there were originally only three people.

The guards used knives to drive away the bees, and a man who seemed to be the leader sprinkled some kind of powder on the bee swarm. Soon, some of the bees died, and some ran away.

After their mission accomplished, the guards disappeared again. At this time, Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi, who was shivering in his arms and muttering to herself.

"I'm really not a flower, not a flower, I don't smell good at all, don't follow me anymore..."

She actually told the bees that she was not a flower and had no fragrance at all, and asked them not to follow her. This was obviously a bit funny, but it was inexplicably cute.

He was surprised and couldn't help laughing. Could it be that this lady thought that bees could understand what she said?

So what did she become? Um, a flower fairy?

Kangxi smiled and coughed lightly to remind the other party that the bee had flown away, but Shi Nanxi's body suddenly stiffened when he heard the voice.

The next moment she raised her head suddenly, and a sweet scent like milk came to her nose.

Kangxi stopped talking abruptly. His nose moved slightly and his narrow and long phoenix eyes suddenly darkened. It seemed that the bee was right in chasing the wrong girl. She was really a "flower fairy"!

Here, Shi Nanxi finally realized that she was leaning in the arms of a strange man, and she stepped back in fright.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There was a bee chasing me. I just… I just…"

Shi Nanxi couldn't say the last words as she hid in your arms. She just bit her lips tightly and buried her red face in her chest, not daring to lift it up.

At this moment, the slender body of Pu Liu was trembling slightly in the cool breeze, like a swaying white lotus, which was really pitiful.

Kangxi put his hands behind his back calmly. The sweet milky fragrance slowly dissipated as the other person left. He clenched his hands in the air, as if trying to keep it.

But he said with a gentle expression: "It's okay, I forgive you." While speaking, he looked at the other person and asked: "Are you a new concubine in the palace?"

The woman's attire clearly showed that she was not a palace maid or a concubine in the harem. There was no news of any concubine's family members entering the palace today, so he thought of the new concubine who had recently entered the palace.

I?

Shi Nanxi suddenly raised her head at this moment, but was immediately met with a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Kangxi looked at the little girl's eyes, which were as pure and clear as a deer, but now filled with obvious panic and shock, and only then did he see her appearance clearly.

I saw that her hair was neat and thin, she looked pure and well-behaved, her face was paler than that of ordinary people, her chin was pointed, and at this moment she was biting her lower lip tightly, and she exuded an aura of timidity and uneasiness.

As soon as she met his gaze, she was stunned for a moment and then shrank back like a little squirrel. The next moment, she hurriedly knelt down to greet him:

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Shi Wenbing’s youngest daughter?

Isn’t that the younger sister of the future Crown Princess who was weak since childhood and grew up on a farm?

No wonder he looked unhappy. He didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Get up, don't be afraid."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shi Nanxi stood up tremblingly, but now she was belatedly struck by fear, and her legs became as soft as noodles, causing her half-standing body to fall to one side.

Kangxi subconsciously reached out his hand to help, but when he stretched out his hand, he saw that the other person's body suddenly changed direction in the middle of the way.

The next moment, with a "bang", Shi Nanxi fell heavily to the ground, and couldn't help but groan: "Um~"

Kangxi felt sorry for the other person after hearing this. He withdrew his hand and asked:

"Shi Ergege, are you okay?"

Shi Nanxi's thin and frail body trembled slightly. Although she was clearly in great pain, she bit her lip lightly and said firmly:

"I am fine, your servant!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but let out a slight hiss. Obviously, he didn't look like nothing was wrong. But the next moment, he saw the other party biting his lips tightly and didn't make any sound.

Kangxi was such a smart man that he immediately understood the other party's concerns. He was afraid of being seen and causing gossip, which would implicate his elder sister.

After all, the other party's eldest sister was the designated Crown Princess, and she was his younger sister, which meant she was of a lower generation than him.

If someone saw that she was involved with him and spread rumors, it would inevitably make the other party's elder sister embarrassed and difficult, and might even affect her future status as the Crown Princess.

After Kangxi understood, he nodded secretly. He was not jealous of his elder sister's fortune, nor did he use it to curry favor with him, the emperor. He was a good girl with a kind heart.

But the fall just now was probably not a light one, so it was more important to go back and apply the medicine, so he took a step back:

"Since everything is fine and the bees have retreated, you don't have to be afraid anymore. Go back to Chuxiu Palace!"

Shi Nanxi lowered her head and seemed to be relieved, but when she stood up, she secretly broke the paper star bracelet on her wrist, and then left as if she didn't notice.

Watching Shi Nanxi's back disappear, Kangxi looked away, but at this moment he caught a glimpse of a colorful object on the ground.

After having Liang Jiugong pick it up and check to make sure there was no problem, he took it himself and looked at it carefully.

It turned out to be a star bracelet made of colored paper, but it was broken now, and a corner of the text was exposed on the paper star.

He opened it and saw the following words:

I wish the world to be at peace.

Second, I wish my parents good health.

My third wish is to find someone I love. I don’t ask for great wealth or honor, I just want your heart to be like mine.

These three wishes are grand yet simple. This was Kangxi's first reaction after reading them. His second reaction was how beautiful and graceful the hairpin-flowered small calligraphy was.

The strokes were round, soft and beautiful, and it was the most spiritual handwriting he had ever seen on a woman's hand.

When Liang Jiugong heard the emperor's praise, he secretly glanced at it from the side and immediately sighed in his heart, "Great."

This is not to say that the other party's handwriting is really wonderful, but the women of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Manchu women, all believed that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Most of the noble ladies only learned common characters, and it was considered good enough if they could understand the account books.

Just like the Empress Defei in the palace, although she was favored, she was born as a palace maid and was not allowed to read. She couldn’t even recognize words, let alone write well.

In this palace, only the late Empress Xiaoyi Ren was a famous talented woman. However, her handwriting was somewhat inferior to that above.

"This should have been lost by that Shi Ergege."

At this time, Kangxi thought that this thing was not here just now, and he was afraid that Shi Ergege accidentally dropped it. But after being amazed, he subconsciously had doubts:

"Liang Jiugong, I remember you mentioned that Princess Shi Er was weak since childhood and grew up on a farm. Her handwriting is pretty good!"

Liang Jiugong understood what was going on when he heard this. The emperor had always been suspicious. Then he was glad that he had investigated the second princess recently because of the relationship with the future crown princess. He bowed calmly and replied:

"I heard that he was in poor health and could not go out easily, so he often stayed in the house to practice calligraphy. I'm afraid that's why he has such good calligraphy."

"I see. This is fate."

Kangxi put aside his doubts and admired Shi Nanxi's calligraphy again before restoring it to its original state. He looked at the star bracelet with the broken string on his palm, and then looked at the direction Shi Nanxi left. He pondered for a moment and put it into his sleeve.

Then he looked at the sky. He didn't want to go to Changchun Palace in the first place. Seeing that it was getting late and he had to summon ministers later, he said:

"Forget it, it's getting late. Send someone to inform Concubine Ping. I have something else to do. I will go to see the little prince next time." After saying this, he turned around and went back.

Liang Jiugong quickly made a gesture, gave a few instructions to the young eunuch who was jogging over, and then hurried to catch up with the emperor.
