Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

However, when he saw Shi Nanxi's frightened and nervous look, he quickly calmed down and said in a soft voice:

"It has nothing to do with you. Don't be afraid. I am here."

After saying this, seeing that Shi Nanxi had relaxed a little, but still had fear in her eyes, he pursed his lips and changed the subject calmly the next moment:

"I guess you don't know where this is. This is the main hall of Kunning Palace. When I was chatting with the ministers, I mentioned the marriage between the crown prince and your eldest sister. I was moved and came to see the queen."

Upon hearing the name of his eldest sister, Shi Nanxi's attention was successfully diverted, and his fear gradually subsided. Seeing this, Kangxi said a few more words.

"Back then, the Queen left the Prince for Changshengtian. The Prince was just born, and his eyes were not even open. I looked at the soft little ball and didn't even dare to hold him..."

Shi Nanxi listened carefully without interrupting, but used her peripheral vision to pay attention to the other person's expression when he spoke.

In the past, when she was chatting privately with her colleagues, she mentioned the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. When she talked about Kangxi, the other party said that his original wife, Empress Hesheli, was his white moonlight, so he had such an obvious preference for the prince because of his love for her.

But now she noticed that the other party mentioned Empress Hesheli with more guilt and respect.

I breathed a sigh of relief. The most feared thing in palace fighting is that the man has a white moonlight or a cinnabar mole in his heart, and he is dead, so he can never surpass her.

Because she knew that even if she successfully entered Kangxi's harem, it would not mean the end, but rather it would be just the beginning.

There were seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards, and some relied on their family background, some relied on their offspring, some relied on their beauty, and some relied on their means, but she relied on Kangxi's love.

It is said that stupid women deal with women, and smart women deal with men.

All palace fighting is just a secondary strategy, the best strategy is to win over Kangxi's heart.

It was good news that the other party didn't have any white moonlight or cinnabar mole in his heart, but it did make her alert.

That is, when the other party mentioned the prince, his brows softened and smiled unconsciously, which means that no matter how the relationship between father and son will develop in the future and whether they will turn against each other, at least for now they have a true father-son relationship.

After a thousand thoughts in my mind, I made a decision immediately.

She must not have anything to do with the prince.

Especially in terms of emotions, even if one successfully enters the palace, it will cause a rift between the father and the son, and the glory will only last for a while.

Because men are rational creatures, especially Kangxi who is an emperor. No matter how much love he has, there will be problems. After a long time, coupled with the instigation and calculations of the harem, the feelings will fade, the love will disappear, and what awaits him is endless hell.

"I will be relieved when the prince marries your elder sister."

When Kangxi said this, besides relief, there was also an imperceptible sense of loss on his face.

Shi Nanxi collected her thoughts, she was very familiar with this emotion, the prince was raised by Kangxi himself, he was now just like those modern mothers who worked hard to raise their children, and when their children grew up and got married, they were happy but also sad that their children were leaving them.

Kangxi was an emperor, but he was also a human being and could not escape worldly emotions. Thinking of this, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly took out something from her sleeve and spread it in her palm.

"Your Majesty." Kangxi subconsciously looked up and saw the familiar paper stars. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at the other party:

"This is?"

Shi Nanxi bit her lip lightly.

The sound is thin and soft:

"This is a paper star. My elder sister said that a paper star represents a wish. I want to give this paper star to the emperor."

Kangxi looked at the paper star that was only the size of a thumb. It was no different from the star bracelet he had picked up before.

Just a paper star representing a wish?

His expression suddenly became somewhat inexplicable.

"So what does this represent?"

Shi Nanxi blinked her eyes, her expression innocent and simple, but also sincere, she said:

"On behalf of this subject, I hope that the Emperor will not be disappointed."

Kangxi was startled:

"Lost?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Nanxi tilted her head slightly, and her frailness became even more adorable and naive.

"When the emperor just mentioned the Crown Prince's marriage, his expression was very gratified, but I felt that the emperor was a little disappointed, so, Your Majesty, this is for you."

Looking at the paper stars being handed towards him, Kangxi's expression did not change, but his fingers on the armrest moved unconsciously.

At this time, Shi Nanxi saw that the other party was silent, and her relaxed expression gradually turned into uneasy one, as if she finally realized that she had just been bold enough to give paper stars to the emperor.

And you still say that the emperor is lost?

Recalling this, she suddenly stood up from her chair, her little face instantly flushed.

"Your Majesty, I am a rude and rude servant. I am bold and I deserve to die. I..."

Shi Nanxi apologized again and again, but was too timid to even say a word to ask for forgiveness.

Kangxi sat on the chair and looked at Shi Nanxi for a while. Suddenly he stood up and walked towards her step by step.

Seeing this, Shi Nanxi thought that the other party was here to punish her. Her face turned pale again and her delicate body became even more shaky, as if she would fall down at any time.

When Kangxi stopped in front of her, the light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed, and the other person's tall figure instantly enveloped her entire body.

She was so scared that she closed her eyes.

Kangxi looked down at Shi Nanxi and saw that her eyes were tightly closed, but her feather-like eyelashes were trembling constantly, and she was obviously very scared.

At this moment, he noticed that her lower lip, which she bit subconsciously out of fear, turned from pale to deep red, as if it was stained with the best lip balm, making the shallow mole more prominent.

He subconsciously took one more look, then realized something and quickly retracted his gaze, turning to look at the paper star in the other person's hand.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly reached out and took it, saying in a low voice:

"I like it very much, I accept it."

A while passed after these words were spoken, and Shi Nanxi was slow to react before opening her eyes. She saw the paper star in the emperor's hand, then looked at her empty hand, and finally she reacted completely.

The emperor did not punish her, but accepted her paper stars. She thought she had heard or seen it wrong, and could not help but say:

"Your Majesty is pleased and would not punish your subject for her misdeeds?"

Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi's reaction, and suddenly his chest shook slightly, and a low laugh came out of his throat:

"You heard me right. I said I won't punish you."

After saying that, I remembered something:

"But I picked up a paper star exactly like this one before, but it had a string on it, and the string was broken, and there was a wish written on it."

He added leisurely:

"Still three wishes."

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi said with surprise:

"Your Majesty, I left a paper star exactly like the one you mentioned in the Imperial Garden. There were also three wishes written on it..."

When he talked about his three wishes, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Kangxi held the paper star in his hand, his eyes fell on her face, and after a pause, he said:

"That should be the one you lost. The words on it are well written, but I didn't bring it with me this time. Let's put it this way. The prince's birthday is in a few days. I will have you sisters join the banquet in the palace and I will take the opportunity to return it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After getting the lost bracelet back, Shi Nanxi forgot about the situation for a moment and smiled with eyes curved in the corners of her eyes.

Kangxi's mood also inexplicably became happy as he watched this, but the two of them couldn't stay in Kunning Palace forever. Kangxi then lit three incense sticks for Empress Hesheli and let Liang Jiugong, who was waiting at the outer door, in.

When Liang Jiugong came in, he glanced at Shi Nanxi out of the corner of his eye, but walked straight towards Kangxi.

"emperor."

Kangxi looked at Shi Nanxi:

"It's getting late. There are no charcoal basins here. You are weak and cannot stay here for a long time. Shall I ask Liang Jiugong to take you back to Chuxiu Palace?"

Shi Nanxi heard this but quickly shook her head:

"Eunuch Liang has to serve the emperor, so he can't send me off. I can go back by myself."

If Liang Jiugong sent her back to Chuxiu Palace, it would reveal her involvement with Kangxi. Now she couldn't let anyone discover her true intentions.

Seeing her determined look, Kangxi thought about the two times they met and realized that although she was weak and timid, she was particularly persistent about some things.

He didn't say anything else, but gave Liang Jiugong a wink. Liang Jiugong immediately understood that this meant to have someone protect him secretly.

He immediately turned around and said to Shi Nanxi with a smile:

"Then I will escort Princess Shi Er to the door."

Shi Nanxi then breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Kangxi, and followed Liang Jiugong out. After the others left, Kangxi looked at the paper stars in his hand.

A smile couldn't help but emerge in her eyes, but when she thought about how Shi Nanxi, who sent paper stars, was lured and imprisoned in Kunning Palace by people sent by the Ninth Prince, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
