On the other side, in the Qianqing Palace, it was so quiet that the only sound could be heard: the sound of flipping through memorials. At this time, Liang Jiugong came in from outside and served the emperor a cup of hot tea.

Hearing the noise, Kangxi asked without even raising his head, "What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it is exactly 11 o'clock in the morning."

After Kangxi wrote the last word, he put down his pen, picked up the tea and took a sip. Liang Jiugong tiptoed forward and collected the memorial approved by the emperor.

"Is there a concert going on at Changyin Pavilion at this time?" Kangxi asked after taking a sip of tea.

Liang Jiugong nodded:

"The singing starts at the end of Chenshi (9 a.m.)" He thought the emperor would ask to go over and take a look. After all, it was the Empress Dowager who personally invited the emperor when she paid her respects this morning.

However, Kangxi changed the subject and asked another question:

"How's the investigation you were asked to do?"

Something for him to investigate?

Liang Jiugong was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on. The emperor suspected that someone in Chuxiu Palace was making things difficult for Shi Ergege, so he asked him to investigate secretly.

Thinking of this, he remembered the news that Xiao Ruzi had handed over yesterday. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, but he did not dare to delay and quickly bowed and reported:

"I have had someone investigate and discovered that there was indeed a Socholuo Gege in the Chuxiu Palace who used to target and make things difficult for Shi Er Gege from time to time. However, she no longer dared to target Shi Er Gege after her cousin, Li Jia Gege, was stripped of her status as a concubine and expelled from the palace.

As for the fact that Second Princess Shi was in a bad mood yesterday, according to the news, it seems to be related to First Princess Shi and Madam Shi. I have sent someone to investigate at the Shi residence, and there should be results soon."

Is it related to Princess Shi and Madam Shi?

Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong's face and suddenly narrowed his eyes:

"explain."

The indifferent tone made Liang Jiugong shudder, and he quickly conveyed Xiao Ruzi's original words. As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy knocking sound was heard, and the next moment the emperor's voice followed:

"Sent away?"

His tone was calmer than before, but Liang Jiugong knew that the calmer the emperor was, the angrier he was.

He lowered his head. In fact, he couldn't believe it when he first heard the report.

Shi Ergege is the one favored by the emperor, but that Madam Shi actually dared to say that she wanted to send Shi Ergege away.

And not to mention this, even if Shi Ergege gave up her marriage name, a family that loves their daughter should find a husband's family nearby to take care of her. Otherwise, with Shi Ergege's soft and gentle personality, wouldn't she be bullied and tortured if she married far away?

Kangxi could naturally think of what Liang Jiugong could think of. At this moment, his eyes were deep and captivating.

Although she had long known that Mrs. Shi was partial and indifferent to Shi Nanxi, as a woman, how could she not know the importance of a husband to a woman's life? She actually said that she wanted to send her daughter away!

How could she bear it, how could she dare!

At this time, a young eunuch outside the door peeked in. Liang Jiugong secretly glanced at the emperor and quietly retreated, but soon his expression changed drastically and he quickly returned to the palace.

"explain."

Kangxi's tone was not intimidating but angry. Liang Jiugong swallowed and quickly told him what the young eunuch had found out. As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup broke into pieces with a bang.

"That's great, it's really great. A mother actually wants to marry her daughter to a man with a sexual fetish. She's courting death..."

Kangxi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Liang Jiugong knelt down. He really didn't expect that Mrs. Shi could be so ruthless.

Because of the matter of Princess Shi, he had planted a spy in Madam Shi's yard, so he quickly found out that the other party was actually choosing a partner for Princess Shi.

It was just a coincidence that the person the other party had his eyes on was the youngest son of Li Fang, the governor of Yangzhou. He was very familiar with him because he had just recently investigated the other party's father on the emperor's orders, and also investigated him at the same time.

On the surface, he looked like an ordinary official's son, but in fact, he had an affair secretly, but it was kept secret.

Perhaps Mrs. Shi thought that the man was young and had a good family background. Although he had no achievements and only held an idle position, he did not do anything wrong and was a good candidate.

But she didn't think about the fact that if the other party didn't have any unspeakable secrets, why wouldn't he marry at the age of 20?

After all, it was just that he didn't care about Shi Ergege, so he was so careless without investigating it carefully.

Kangxi recalled the little girl's glance and smile in his mind. He couldn't imagine that after the selection was over, the other party would be pushed to hell by her own relatives.

And how desperate would she be when she found out the truth? Veins popped out on his forehead.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, and the next moment he opened them suddenly, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes:

"I wanted to give Li Fang another chance. In this case, I will immediately order that Li Fang be stripped of his post as governor and be sent to the Dali Temple. The Li family will have their property confiscated and all males over ten years old will be imprisoned. We will wait for the investigation to be completed before we can punish them all."

"Whoo."

"Also, you said that Madam Shi was in a hurry to find someone for the Second Princess after she received the letter from the First Princess?"

Liang Jiugong wiped the sweat off his forehead and whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he took out a letter written by Shi Rongyue to Madam Shi from his sleeve.

Kangxi took it, glanced at it, his eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything, but waved his hand. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong quickly stood up to convey the oral order.

After Liang Jiugong left, Kangxi sat on the dragon throne for a while, suddenly took out a blank imperial edict, wrote it quickly with a swift pen, and stamped it with the imperial seal. But after putting down the imperial seal, he was stunned when he saw the edict on it to confer the title of empress.

She leaned back in her chair somewhat dejectedly, her gaze turned towards the direction of Chuxiu Palace, her phoenix eyes showing forbearance and restraint.

"Meow." Suddenly a meow broke the silence of the hall.

Kangxi came to his senses and looked over.

"Xixi" originally wanted to jump into the owner's arms, but it was sensitive enough to sense that its owner was in a bad mood, so it immediately raised its head and looked around cautiously.

When Kangxi looked at "Xixi" like this, another "Xixi" emerged in his mind. She was always like this, looking up at him cautiously.

Strong emotions surged in his eyes. I don't know how long it took. When Liang Jiugong came back after delivering the oral order, he waited for the emperor to order:

"Go to Changyin Pavilion."

……

Changyin Pavilion

At this time, the crown prince arrived with a group of princes. Shi Rongyue's eyes lit up, and when she saw the Fourth Prince among them, her eyes became even brighter.

After not seeing him for a while, Sisi seemed to have lost weight, and he looked even colder, more and more like the future Cold-Faced Fourth Master, which made her heart pound.

But after these days, she discovered that the other party was the prince. It was easy for him to hide from her, but it was difficult for her to find him.

In this case, she had finally caught the other person this time. After she had dealt with the affairs of the prince and Shi Nanxi, she would go directly to the other person to confess her feelings, so as to avoid being unable to find him again.

As for whether the other party would refuse, she would not even think about this possibility because it was simply impossible.

Her mood immediately improved, and when she noticed the prince looking at her, she felt even better.

From today onwards, she can finally get rid of this perverted prince who is destined to be deposed and pursue her own happiness. Thinking of this, she smiled brightly.

As soon as the prince came in, he looked towards the seat of the Empress Dowager, and sure enough, he saw Shi Rongyue. When he saw her smile, he was even more flattered.

During these few times of contact with Shi Rongyue, I always felt that the other party seemed to be hot and cold, sometimes far and sometimes close, and a little unpredictable.

Although this made him more interested, he was also somewhat depressed and self-doubting. But after seeing that smile, all the depression and doubt disappeared instantly, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he immediately responded with a radiant smile.

This scene was seen by many people, and most of them just glanced and looked away. However, one person, Suochao Luo Jiahui, followed the prince's gaze and looked at Shi Rongyue. She gritted her teeth and thought, "Sluts just seduce men. How shameless!"

Tong Jia Wanru, who was not far away, was thinking, could it be that men prefer to take the initiative? Then, was the emperor's cousin...

Shi Nanxi took in the whole scene. The play was becoming more and more exciting. At this time, there was a noise outside the door again.

"The Emperor has arrived."
