"It's finally over. What is this song about?"

At this time, Shi Rongyue's soft muttering came to my ears. Although she said this, she held her blushing face with her hands, and her eyes were full of water.

Shi Nanxi glanced at her and did not respond to her hypocritical words. Instead, he calmed his mind, lowered his eyes again, and his eyes quickly regained calm.

The time was almost up, so she first glanced at Hongying covertly, and Hongying nodded imperceptibly.

When she came, she specially observed the location of the pool in Changyin Pavilion according to the instructions of the Second Princess, and now she remembered it firmly in her mind. Seeing this, Shi Nanxi withdrew her gaze. Although she was not going to jump into the pool for real, she had to put on a good show and also just in case.

Now the only one left is Kangxi.

Thinking of this, she did not look at him. Instead, when the heat on her cheeks subsided, she pretended to be worried and looked in the direction of Concubine Yi.

Kangxi's seat was not far from the Empress Dowager, and his mind was still recalling Shi Nanxi's shy and flustered look just now. At this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed Shi Nanxi's expression.

My heart tightened. He was fine just now, why did he become so worried now?

I thought about following her gaze. Was that Concubine Yi? Could it be that Concubine Yi was making things difficult for the little girl because of the Ninth Prince?

Hmm? Who is the woman next to Concubine Yi? She looks a little unfamiliar. He narrowed his eyes and asked Liang Jiugong to whisper.

Liang Jiugong took a look and replied in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, that is Concubine Yi's sister-in-law, and Guard Jierhalang's mother. I heard that she came from Shengjing specially after the New Year to find a marriage for Guard Jierhalang. She must have entered the palace to ask Concubine Yi for help."

Kangxi was in deep thought. Jirgalang - he remembered that he was a young and ambitious man, who was not married yet. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the woman seemed to be looking at someone. He followed her line of sight and his eyes suddenly froze.

Little girl? She was looking at the little girl. What was she looking at the little girl for?

With his quick thinking, he immediately thought of the day when Concubine Yi wanted to give the little girl to the Fifth Prince as a concubine. Could it be that after he refused, the other party still wanted to take advantage of the little girl?

Yes, Liang Jiugong just said that the woman came to Beijing specifically to propose marriage to Jirgalang. He suddenly grabbed the armrest and Kangxi's expression changed slightly.

He immediately gave Liang Jiugong a few instructions, and Liang Jiugong hurriedly retreated with his whisk in his arms. After asking a few servants privately, he quickly came back and nodded slightly to the emperor.

Seeing this, Kangxi's expression did not change, but his heart sank. The play on the stage changed, but he no longer had the heart to listen.

He gave a wink to Liang Jiugong, who immediately understood and quickly went down to make arrangements. Shi Nanxi, who had been paying attention to Kangxi, was relieved when she saw this scene.

Everything was ready, just waiting for Shi Rongyue to take action. After a while, Shi Rongyue couldn't hold back any longer and came over with a low voice:

"Second sister, after listening to the play for such a long time, do you want to go out for some fresh air and eat something? You barely ate a bite this morning."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at Shi Nanxi. The two of them had agreed before that this time they would arrange a meeting with the prince. Shi Nanxi pursed her lips when she heard this, and seemed a little hesitant, but she still bit her lip and whispered in cooperation:

"My sister is feeling a little breathless and a little hungry."

Shi Rongyue was delighted to see the other party cooperate, and immediately said:

"Then I'll accompany you. It's best to find a quiet place to rest for a while. I'm not familiar with Changyin Pavilion, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been warm-hearted. He has led the way and introduced me to the Imperial Garden before. I'll ask him if he can help?"

After telling Zixia to pass on the message, Zixia quickly glanced at the Second Princess, and meeting the Second Princess's determined eyes, she bit her lip and walked towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After hearing what Zixia said, the prince said without thinking, "Of course." After saying that, he realized that he spoke too fast, so he paused and said slowly:

"Tell the eldest princess Shi that the second princess Shi is in urgent need of medical care. I also need to go out for some fresh air, so we can go together."

After getting the prince's affirmative answer, Shi Rongyue couldn't wait to pull Shi Nanxi out.

At this time, the prince also stood up, and the three of them went out one after another, attracting the attention of several waves of people.

Suochao Luo Jiahui looked at this scene, and thought of the way Shi Rongyue seduced the Crown Prince when he first entered Changyin Pavilion. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and followed him out.

At this time, Kangxi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Liang Jiugong implicitly. Liang Jiugong nodded secretly, and then after a while Kangxi put down the teacup and went out.

When Tong Jiawan saw the emperor's cousin go out, she thought of Shi Rongyue who always took the initiative.

Even before the official decree was issued, the prince had already taken notice. She saw with great clarity when the prince came in, and he looked at Shi Rongyue the moment he came in.

Just before Shi Rongyue went out, he asked Zixia to go to the prince's place, and soon the prince followed her eagerly.

Thinking of this, a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes, and she also tiptoed out.

Defei turned her head and saw this scene. Her eyes deepened. At this time, the emperor disappeared. Concubine Yi looked away and saw Defei's expression. Her eyes moved and she suddenly whispered:

"What is Sister Defei looking at?"

"...Nothing, I just saw that the Fourth Prince looked a little unhappy." De Fei replied calmly, and naturally turned her gaze to the Fourth Prince:

"Old Four, if you feel unwell, go out and get some fresh air, or go back first, you don't look well."

Ever since the play "Longing for the Ordinary Life", the Fourth Prince had kept his eyes lowered. His eyelashes trembled when he heard the words, and he thought of his second brother, the Crown Prince, who had just left. The two of them were sitting together, so he naturally heard that it was Princess Shi who sent someone to pass on the message.

She didn't want to go out at this moment, for fear of running into Princess Shi again. Seeing the Fourth Prince's hesitation, Concubine De pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.

But in public, her tone was still gentle and caring:

"Old Four, don't force yourself and make mother worry."

After these words were spoken, the Fourth Prince had to leave. He secretly clenched his hands, then stood up and bowed, saying:

"Thank you for your concern, Mother De. I am indeed feeling a little unwell, so I will go out for some fresh air first."

"Well, go ahead." Then the Fourth Prince also took Xiao Shengzi out.

Ulanala Hesui had been keeping an eye on the Fourth Prince and had noticed that he looked a little unwell. She became a little worried when she saw this scene. After hesitating for a moment, she could not resist the worry in her heart and followed him out soon.

Here, Concubine Yi covered her lips with a handkerchief. Concubine De was definitely not looking at the Fourth Prince just now, so she turned her gaze away.

He discovered that in addition to the prince and the Shi sisters, there were several other people who went out. One of them was Tong Jia Wanru. Thinking of the palace maid who had been Empress Xiaoyi, he immediately understood.

He sneered inwardly, thinking that a bondservant was always a bondservant, and even if he rose to high status, his origin could not be changed.

On the other side, the Shi Nanxi sisters who came out first have already reunited with the prince. Shi Rongyue pulled Shi Nanxi and said to the prince:

"Your Highness, is there a quiet room here? Let your second sister have a good rest. She is feeling a little short of breath."

Upon hearing this, the prince looked at Shi Nanxi. He had been paying attention to Shi Rongyue before and had not noticed Shi Nanxi. At this moment, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he only glanced at her for a moment longer before quickly saying:

"Don't worry, Princess Shi, there is a quiet room. Come with me!"

Shi Rongyue, who noticed the prince's reaction, curled her lips secretly, knowing that this lecherous prince would be tempted by a beautiful woman.

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Then he pulled Shi Nanxi to follow the prince. Shi Nanxi kept her head down the whole time. She didn't look at the prince more than once, nor did she interrupt him. However, she secretly wrote down the route they had taken, just in case.

After many twists and turns, they finally reached the back hall on the first floor. Wenxi, who was beside the prince, pushed open the door of a side hall and saw that it was empty but very clean.

"Come in. This place is far from the stage and very quiet. It's perfect for resting."

Shi Rongyue took a quick glance and was delighted to find the place was indeed secretive and quiet.

Quickly pull Shi Nanxi in.
