After Liang Jiugong sent away the last military minister, an inconspicuous eunuch came over and whispered something to him.

After hearing this, he frowned, sent the person away, and walked into the hall quietly, holding the Buddhist whisk.

"What's the matter?" Kangxi asked without raising his head when he heard the noise.

Liang Jiugong whispered what happened in Changchun Palace. After listening, Kangxi's pen stopped and a pale little face suddenly appeared in his mind.

She tilted her head slightly, held up the paper stars and said, "I don't want the emperor to be disappointed." At that time, it seemed that the stars in the sky were really reflected in her eyes.

He lowered his eyes and put down the imperial pen. He did not give any instructions, but leaned back in his chair, stroking the jade ring slowly with his thumb, and asked about another matter.

"Has Changchun Palace sent people to Qianqing Palace in the past two days?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I came early this morning. I said you were busy with government affairs, so I pushed it off." Liang Jiugong replied.

At this time, Kangxi raised his head, revealing a pair of narrow and deep phoenix eyes. His expression was normal, but there was an unignorable majesty in his face.

He said calmly:

"Go to Changchun Palace."

"cover."

On the other side, after leaving Changchun Palace, Shi Rongyue thought that the Fourth Prince did not speak. The Prince waited for a while and saw that Shi Rongyue still had no intention of speaking, so he could not help but look at her.

All the women I met before would have racked their brains to talk to him, but this one was really special. Since the mountain doesn't go to me, I will go to the mountain, so I spoke first:

"Why is Princess Shi silent, but still worried about your second sister?"

Shi Rongyue wanted to see her Si Si as soon as possible, so she nodded perfunctorily: "I am a little worried." After that, she urged:

"Where is the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince meeting? Let's go there quickly, so as not to keep them waiting for too long, which is not good."

How could she let her Sisi wait? And what if Sisi suddenly had something to do and left early? Oh, the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.

When the prince heard this, he thought that the other party was worried about his brotherly relationship even before she married him, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

He said how could it be possible that there would be a woman who was indifferent to him and turned a blind eye.

"What Grand Princess Shi said is true. I neglected it. I have an appointment with my fourth brother in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. It is not far from here, just ahead."

After hearing this, Shi Rongyue couldn't help but get excited at the thought of finally being able to see Sisi again. Her heart was pounding so hard that she didn't even notice the arrogant smile on the prince's face.

At this time, they turned a small path and saw a four-cornered pavilion in front of them. The Fourth Prince had already arrived there in advance and was now facing away from them.

When Shi Rongyue saw the Fourth Prince whom she had been thinking about for several days, she couldn't help but touch her cuffs. There was a gift she had cut for the Fourth Prince, but she had never found a chance to give it to him. Fortunately, she carried it with her.

The Fourth Prince, who had his back to the two of them, was absent-minded for a rare moment. He had not expected that the woman who helped him that day was actually the eldest princess of the Shi family, who was designated as the Crown Princess.

He subconsciously touched his hand, and his mind recalled the day when Lao Jiu teased him and threw a centipede at him, and Shi Da Gege suddenly rushed out and protected him behind her.

At that time, he stood behind her and watched her scold Lao Jiu severely, and finally took his hand and left. He had never felt that way since Tong E'niang left. It was familiar and strange, but not unpleasant.

And she actually said that he was handsome. No one had ever said that before. When Tong E'niang was alive, she would only say that he looked energetic.

Because of Xiao Jin, the Pekingese dog he raised had its hair cut by the Ninth Prince. He couldn't help but get angry with the Ninth Prince. He was scolded by the Emperor for his impatient temper and unstable mood. From then on, he restrained his mind and studied Buddhism.

In the end, he calmed down, but was laughed at by his brothers. They thought that he was so old-fashioned and serious at such a young age, how could he be good-looking?

"Fourth."

At this time, the voice of the Crown Prince's Second Brother came from behind him. The Fourth Prince quickly came back to his senses, put down his hands and stood up. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a slim and beautiful figure standing next to the Crown Prince. It was her!

His eyelashes trembled, but his face remained expressionless as always. He lowered his eyes and bowed, saying:

"This humble servant has met the second brother, the Crown Prince."

He then withdrew his hand, nodded slightly at Shi Rongyue, but said nothing.

The prince was worried that Shi Rongyue might misunderstand him, so he turned his head and explained to her:

"The fourth brother is just a dull person. The emperor has said this to him many times."

Shi Rongyue rolled her eyes secretly. She knew that Yongzheng in history had such a personality, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Very good, she liked it this way, so she ignored the prince and bowed to the Fourth Prince with a smile:

"Your humble servant greets the Fourth Prince. May the Fourth Prince be blessed."

The Fourth Prince felt the gaze falling on him, his eyelashes drooped slightly, his face remained expressionless, and he said coldly:

"No need to be polite."

The prince didn't know that the two had met before. He lifted up his clothes and sat on the stone bench, asked the two to sit down, and then introduced them to each other.

At the end of his words, he looked at Shi Rongyue with his sparkling peach blossom eyes, and his voice was mixed with laughter.

"I went to Concubine Ping's place today. I didn't expect to meet Princess Shi. I think this trip was a great success."

After Shi Rongyue arrived at the pavilion, he only had Si Si in his eyes and mind. He did not think carefully about what was said and subconsciously said:

"I also think this trip is very good." Although Shi Nanxi failed to arouse the prince's interest, it was worth the trip to meet Sisi.

However, these words were misunderstood by the Crown Prince who was unaware of the truth. The smile in his peach blossom eyes deepened, while the Fourth Prince remained silent.

No one spoke for a while. The prince held the teacup and thought about a topic:

"I just saw the eldest princess and your sister in Changchun Palace, and they seemed to be on good terms?"

Shi Rongyue, who was originally thinking about the Fourth Prince, thought that the other party had developed feelings for Shi Nanxi when she heard this, and immediately looked at the Prince excitedly.

"Of course, my second sister and I are twins. Even though my second sister was sent to the farm to recuperate because she was weak since she was young, I always cared about her and had a good relationship with her."

After saying that, he quickly took the opportunity to promote Shi Nanxi.

"Don't underestimate her because she is timid and cowardly. She is quiet and well-behaved, writes beautifully, and is very skillful. Your Highness, remember the paper stars that we just took out of Changchun Palace? They were folded by her..."

Shi Rongyue was racking her brains to think of Shi Nanxi's strengths at the moment, and did not notice that the prince looked at her with more and more interest, as she was previously cold but now became very energetic when talking about her second sister.

The Fourth Prince seemed to have the same expressionless face as before, but his hand holding the teacup did not move for a long time, and it was obvious that he was also listening to what the other person was saying.

When Shi Rongyue's mouth was dry from talking, she stopped and immediately looked at the prince expectantly:

"Does Your Highness the Crown Prince also think that my second sister is very good? If so..."

Just as she was about to say the word "like", a little eunuch suddenly appeared and interrupted her:

"Your Highness, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to see you. He said he wants to discuss your birthday banquet in three days."

The prince was a little displeased at being disturbed, but his father the emperor said that it was his birthday and he would entertain important civil and military officials and royal relatives, so there must be no mistakes. Since the steward asked to see him, he must be undecided about something.

At this moment, his mind suddenly moved, and he saw Shi Rongyue opposite him, who suddenly smiled and invited:

"My birthday is in three days, and the Emperor wants to hold a banquet to celebrate it for me. I wonder if Princess Shi would be willing to attend?"

Shi Rongyue's brows were furrowed as her most important words were interrupted, until she heard the prince's words, "Attend the birthday party?"

Doesn't that mean giving a birthday gift?

If she helps Shi Nanxi prepare a special gift and sends it to him, and the prince already has feelings for Shi Nanxi, it will definitely be successful.

Thinking of this, her mood immediately turned from gloomy to bright, and she replied:

"Your Highness, please honor me. It is my honor to attend your birthday banquet. But could I bring my second sister with me? She must also want to celebrate Your Highness' birthday together." She gave a hint first.

The prince only wanted Shi Rongyue to come, and it didn't matter whether Shi Nanxi came or not. Upon hearing this, he agreed immediately, and Shi Rongyue was immediately overjoyed.

After the Crown Prince said hello to the Fourth Prince and everyone left, she still had a smile on her face. That was great. Soon she would be able to get rid of her status as the designated Crown Princess and live happily ever after with the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince had no idea of Shi Rongyue's thoughts, but seeing her so happy, it was obvious that she and the Second Prince were in love.

He was already impolite last time because he didn't know the other party's identity. Now that he knew, and the second prince had left, it would be better for them, a man and a woman alone, to avoid each other. So he stood up and said:

"Shi Da Gege, thank you for your help last time, but I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Shi Rongyue was stunned. What are you leaving now? They hadn't talked properly yet. When she saw the Fourth Prince nodded slightly and turned away after he finished speaking, she didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said:

"Fourth Prince, please wait a moment."

The Fourth Prince stopped and turned back and said:

"Is there something wrong with Princess Shi?"

Shi Rongyue quickly took something out of her sleeve, then grabbed the Fourth Prince's hand and stuffed it into his hand.

The Fourth Prince's hand was suddenly grabbed and he subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but at this moment he found that there was something extra in his hand that looked familiar.

"What is this?" he couldn't help asking.

Shi Rongyue put down her hand.

Somewhat proud:

"This is a Q version of a Pekingese. Isn't it cute and adorable? I'm giving it to you."

Q version of Pekingese?

Q-version didn't understand, but Pekingese did. No wonder it looked familiar. It looked exactly like his Pekingese with shorn hair, but with the cuteness that the other person said. He liked it very much, but...

"Girl Shi, men and women should not touch each other, please take it back."

Shi Rongyue didn't expect the other party to refuse, so she tried her best to praise the Q version of Pekingese and persuade the other party to accept it.

But the Fourth Prince was determined. If he said he couldn't take it back, then he couldn't take it back. Finally, Shi Rongyue bit her lip and said:

"I never take back anything I give away." Then she ran away without waiting for the Fourth Prince to react.

Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, and then looking at the cute version of the Pekingese in his hand, the Fourth Prince pursed his lips and had to put it away temporarily, preparing to return it to the other party when he had the chance next time.

On the other side, Kangxi arrived at Changchun Palace.
