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

“…”Isn’t this a modern bra?

Shi Nanxi blinked and remained silent.

Shi Rongyue thought that the other party would not understand this, so she put her bra on her chest and lifted it up with both hands, while explaining:

"This is called a bra, which is equivalent to a bellyband, but it doesn't prevent it from falling down, so I specifically told the nanny to make it. As long as you put it on and let the prince see it, it will definitely arouse his interest. As a man, as long as he is interested, he is halfway to success."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes full of confidence:

"Leave the rest to me. I will make sure the prince takes the initiative to propose a marriage exchange."

At this time, Kangxi still doted on the prince very much. As long as the prince took the initiative to propose a marriage exchange, they were all legitimate daughters of the Shi family and there was no difference. Shi Nanxi would marry the prince on her behalf, and he could go find Sisi.

Shi Nanxi looked at the bras that were not much different from those worn in modern times. Apart from anything else, this cheap sister who was also a time traveler was naive and selfish, but she was very proactive.

Well, the original body had been weak and sickly since childhood. Now she was sixteen years old, pale and thin, looking like a bean sprout. She was worried that she could not arouse the interest of Kangxi, who had seen countless women.

With this, men like new and novel things. The first step is to arouse his curiosity and interest, and the rest of the journey will be easier.

Her mind was full of thoughts, but her face looked dazed. After a while, she realized the purpose of the bra, and her face suddenly turned completely red as if it was on fire.

"Sister, what are you talking about? How can you wear such shameless things on your body and show them to other men..."

Shi Rongyue was forced to come back to her senses from her excitement, as she said this with a look of embarrassment that made her feel like she was about to faint. Seeing her cheap sister acting so petty, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, stuffed the thing directly into her arms, and ordered without question:

"Just wear it if I tell you to." She thought of something and slowed down her tone:

"You believe in me, I can't harm you. The prince is handsome and talented, both civil and military. You will fall in love with him as soon as you take a look at him."

Shi Nanxi's face was still red and she kept shaking her head. Seeing this, Shi Rongyue used his trump card.

"Second sister, haven't you always wanted to get the attention of Ama E Niang? As long as you marry the prince, Ama E Niang will definitely look at you with new eyes."

"So just believe your elder sister, okay?" Shi Rongyue held Shi Nanxi's hand, her eyes full of sincerity.

Shi Nanxi thought to herself that this man had really put a lot of effort into getting her to marry in his place, so how could she let him down?

Just don't be too shocked when you see that the person she's hooking up with is Kangxi.

He hesitated and stammered:

"But, but..."

"Nothing to worry about. You just have to listen to me in the talent show tomorrow."

When Shi Rongyue saw that Shi Nanxi was shaken, he was overjoyed and immediately took charge of all the matters.

……

The next day, while it was still dark, Heather Creek was called up.

After washing and dressing up, I only ate a piece of dessert to fill my stomach and took a sip of water. This was done to avoid any indecent behavior during the primary election.

After packing everything up, she took her wet nurse Rong and her personal maid Qiao'er to the main room.

At this time, in the main room, Shi Rongyue was so excited that she couldn't sleep the whole night. Now she came to the main room early to pay her respects and bid farewell to her father and mother.

"My daughter pays respects to my father and mother."

Father Shi stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction:

"Big sister is very nice. She knew about the talent show today and came so early. It's just..."

He frowned, looking concerned:

"Why do you look a little pale? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Shi Rongyue's eyes flickered slightly, she clutched the handkerchief and said softly:

"Yes, Ama, my daughter is a little nervous when she thinks about the talent show today."

"Don't be nervous." At this time, the stone mother beside her held her eldest daughter's hand, her face full of pride:

"You are the designated Crown Princess, this is just a formality. Anyone who dares to embarrass you is embarrassing the Crown Prince, and the Emperor will not let him off easily!"

"What nonsense?" Father Shi interrupted Mother Shi unhappily.

"Walls have ears but people don't know. If someone hears me, they will say that my Shi family is so arrogant before we even gain power."

Mother Shi's expression froze. She knew that the master was right, but she felt a little embarrassed to be scolded in front of her daughter, so she couldn't help but say:

"The maid from the palace returned to the palace yesterday. There are only three of us in the room. Who would spread the news?"

In addition to inheriting the third-class earl title, Shi's father was also a first-rank general of Fuzhou. This time he happened to be back in Beijing to report on his work, so he was at home.

He was able to reach the rank of first-rank official because of his extreme caution in official circles. He knew that his family was the mother's family of the designated Crown Princess, and there must be spies arranged by the palace in his mansion.

He immediately frowned and glared at her. Shi Mu felt uneasy when she was looked at. She dared to talk back to the master, but she didn't dare to really disobey him.

Just at this moment, a maid came from outside the door to report that the second young lady was coming. She immediately turned her head and directed her anger at Shi Nanxi who had just entered the room.

"Second sister, you forgot that today is the day of the preliminary selection. Your elder sister is the designated Crown Princess, and she came here early for the sake of solemnity, but you are late. I didn't expect you to do so, but at least you have to pass the preliminary selection and not bring shame to the Shi family and your elder sister."

As soon as Shi Nanxi came in, she heard this series of accusations. She paused. She had clearly calculated the time and arrived fifteen minutes early, so how come she was late?

Her face was the same as before, biting her lips lightly, looking timid and cowardly, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible:

"Mother is right. It's all my daughter's fault. Next time I will come to pay my respects two quarters of an hour earlier."

As for the primary election, she lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief for a long time before she managed to say:

"In the primary election, my daughter will also...try her best!"

Looking at Shi Nanxi's petty look, standing next to the dignified and elegant Shi Rongyue, they are like heaven and earth, incomparable.

Father Shi's brows were furrowed. Just as Mother Shi said, he didn't expect his second daughter to have any future. He just hoped that she could pass the preliminary selection and find a suitable family to marry. So he just watched and said nothing.

Shi Mu was stunned at first. She knew that it was not the time yet and she was just making up an excuse. She didn't expect her second daughter to say it out loud in public.

He was a little angry for a moment, and when he heard the second half of the sentence "try your best", he became even more angry, and slammed the table:

"What do you mean by try your best? It means you must. If you can't pass the preliminary selection, you will never be allowed to enter the gate of the Stone Mansion again!"

The gate of this stone mansion is open to anyone who wants to enter. Shi Nanxi complained in her heart, but her face looked frightened. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and her body was shaky, as if she was going to faint in the next second.

Shi Rongyue saw this and didn't want to say anything, but she still needed Shi Nanxi to marry in her place, so she had to speak up to smooth things over:

"Okay, mother, since my second sister knows she's wrong, don't blame her. We still have to participate in the talent show later, and we can't make any mistakes."

When Shimu heard her eldest daughter's words, her angry expression instantly turned into one of kindness and pride, faster than she could change her face:

"Well, well, well, you are worthy of being the Crown Princess that even the Emperor values. You are generous, kind, and friendly to your sisters."

Father Shi's frown relaxed and he nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, Shi's father and mother took Shi Rongyue aside and gave her various instructions. Shi Nanxi, who was standing aside, was like a transparent person and was completely forgotten.

But she didn't care at all. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, so as not to accidentally violate the palace rules and taboos after entering the palace.

Soon the remaining three brothers and two sisters came to see them off and joined the discussion. Only Shi Nanxi remained unattended until the time came when the whole family saw the two sisters off to the gate.

Outside the door, on the mule cart that came to pick up Shi Nanxi and Shi Rongyue, in addition to the original eunuch and driver, there was also a maid.

After hearing them claiming to be sent by the Queen Mother, they got on the mule cart after some greetings.

Along the way, the two of them had their own thoughts, and with the palace maid outside the carriage, no one spoke until they arrived outside the Shenwu Gate, when the mule carriage stopped. Shi Rongyue leaned over and took Shi Nanxi's hand, whispering:

"Remember what I told you at home. You must listen to me, okay?"

Shi Nanxi touched her chest, looking a little hesitant and anxious.

Finally, under Shi Rongyue's scorching gaze, he nodded hesitantly.

Shi Rongyue immediately laughed:

"My elder sister is doing this for your own good. That's why she is giving up all her wealth to you. You will understand it later."

It would be another seventeen years before the crown prince would be deposed by Kangxi for the first time. Now no one knew that if Shi Nanxi married him instead of her, she would be able to enjoy a long and glorious life. She would be extremely wealthy, which was something she could not even get by flattering him.

Shi Nanxi saw through Shi Rongyue's thoughts and nodded submissively:

"I will listen to my eldest sister."

I do listen to you, just with a different person. You will understand it later.
