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

Shi Nanxi, who was held in Kangxi's arms, felt the increasing force on his waist and knew that it was almost enough. Too much is as bad as too little. He should avoid having his intentions discovered. The rest was left for him to guess.

Then, as if finally realizing that she was actually leaning in the emperor's arms, she was so frightened that her pupils suddenly shrank and her body subconsciously stepped back.

She did not forget the numbness in her legs and deliberately retreated towards the rockery. Finally, she staggered and stuck to the rockery before stopping.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, your humble servant, have offended your Majesty and I deserve death..."

Shi Nanxi didn't dare to look at Kangxi at this moment. She lowered her head, held the rockery behind her tightly with her hands, and kept apologizing with the heavy rain on her head.

Kangxi paused for a moment as he stretched his hand in the air, then calmly retracted it.

Looking at Shi Nanxi who kept apologizing, he held up an umbrella, his eyes darkened inexplicably, and suddenly he moved and walked towards her.

It was not until the rain above her head disappeared again that Shi Nanxi noticed Kangxi coming towards her.

"Your Majesty..." She looked up subconsciously.

Kangxi looked down at her and saw that her fair face was wet by the rain again. At this time, water droplets were dripping down her eyelashes. He paused and took out another handkerchief.

But this time he didn't let Shi Nanxi wipe it herself. Instead, he lowered his eyes, condescended to take the handkerchief and wiped Shi Nanxi bit by bit himself.

Shi Nanxi tilted her little face slightly, and when she felt the gentle movement on her face, she was completely stunned. She subconsciously bit her lower lip and dared not move.

Kangxi held the handkerchief and moved it slowly from Shi Nanxi's forehead to her cheek, nose, and chin. He should have withdrawn his hand at this point, but his eyes could not help but stop on Shi Nanxi's bitten lips.

He found that the little girl seemed to like biting her lips when she was nervous. Her originally pale and bloodless lips gradually turned red.

The very shallow mole was revealed again. Looking at the mole, Kangxi's eyes were gloomy. Suddenly he picked up a handkerchief and wiped it.

"All right."

Seeing the mole becoming more noticeable after being wiped, he calmly put away the handkerchief.

Hearing the voice, Shi Nanxi came back to her senses from her daze, her whole body turned red as a shrimp, and she stammered:

"Your Majesty, you, you, you..." He kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't find the words to wipe her face.

Kangxi held up his umbrella and said calmly:

"Don't be nervous. Your elder sister will marry the crown prince after the selection. I am your elder, so you don't need to worry about such trivial matters..."

After saying this, Shi Nanxi wanted to say something, but her nose suddenly felt itchy, so she quickly turned her head and sneezed.

Kangxi tightened his grip on the umbrella and said immediately:

"Where is the maidservant beside you? Why are you alone? I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while. You're soaked. I'll ask Liang Jiugong to send someone to take you back to Chuxiu Palace and summon the imperial physician to see you."

As he was about to take off his cloak and give it to Shi Nanxi, he thought of how polite this little girl was and was afraid of causing trouble for her elder sister, so he stopped and shouted:

"Liang Jiugong."

When Liang Jiugong heard the order, he hurried over holding an umbrella. The umbrella was given to him by the guards who followed him in the dark. But when he got to the front and hadn't stood firm yet, he heard the emperor's order:

"Take off your cloak."

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shi Nanxi and immediately understood. He quickly untied his cloak and was about to hand it to Shi Nanxi.

Halfway through, a hand suddenly stretched out to take it. Kangxi held the cloak and asked Liang Jiugong to hold the umbrella. He then stepped forward and wrapped Shi Nanxi tightly with the cloak, then lowered his head and slowly tied the belt.

Shi Nanxi subconsciously wanted to struggle and refuse, but was interrupted by Kangxi: "Don't move, be obedient."

Upon hearing this, she immediately stopped moving and just buried her head and whispered:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. But there's no need for Chief Steward Liang to send someone to pick her up. Hongying should be back soon after she went back to get her umbrella."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from not far away:

"Second Princess, Second Princess, where are you?"

"It's Hongying. Hongying is here." Shi Nanxi looked up with surprise, and then said to Kangxi:

"Your Majesty, thank you today, and..."

She raised the handkerchief she had been holding in her hand and said carefully:

"This handkerchief got wet and fell to the ground. After I go back and wash it, I will return it to you at the Crown Prince's birthday banquet. Is that okay?"

So don't forget our meeting that day.

Do you care so much about this handkerchief?

Kangxi will take the umbrella again.

He raised his eyebrows slightly:

"can."

Shi Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, then lowered her eyes and carefully put away the handkerchief. However, a deep thought flashed through her mind, and when she looked up again, she took a step back slightly.

Soon one of his shoulders was wet again. Seeing this, Kangxi frowned and handed the umbrella forward, while scolding:

"Why retreat? The rain is still falling."

Shi Nanxi bit her lips lightly and whispered:

"Men and women should not touch each other. I was in a hurry just now. Now everything is fine. How can I, how can I be under the same umbrella with the emperor again..."

After saying that, he stepped back stubbornly again.

Kangxi's thin lips suddenly formed a straight line, but after a second's pause, he suddenly said: "Liang Jiugong, hand the umbrella to Shi Ergege."

Liang Jiugong behind him: “…” Then won’t he be caught in the rain again?

As this thought flashed through his mind, he did not dare to hesitate and immediately handed the umbrella to Shi Nanxi.

Shi Nanxi immediately refused:

"No, if I take the umbrella, then Eunuch Liang will have no umbrella to use, right?"

Liang Jiugong didn't expect Shi Nanxi to say this. He subconsciously glanced at the emperor. Kangxi held the umbrella and said in an unchanged tone:

"He and I share an umbrella."

As he spoke, he tilted the umbrella slightly. Liang Jiugong was immediately flattered. He had always held an umbrella for the emperor, but this was the first time the emperor held an umbrella for him.

But at the same time, he also knew that all this was because of Shi Nanxi, so he immediately handed the umbrella to her decisively:

"Princess Shi, please continue!"

At this time, Hongying's voice was getting closer and closer. Shi Nanxi pretended to hesitate and took the umbrella. Seeing this, Liang Jiugong walked under the emperor's umbrella. Kangxi also heard Hongying's voice and knew that the little girl was afraid of being misunderstood, so he said:

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. When you go back, don't forget to ask the imperial physician to check your pulse."

After saying that, he handed the umbrella to Liang Jiugong and walked forward. Liang Jiugong hurriedly followed with the umbrella held high.

As soon as Kangxi and his servant disappeared around the corner, Hongying appeared on the road. Seeing Shi Nanxi, she ran over excitedly:

"Second Princess, I finally found you."

She held an umbrella in one hand and a cloak in the other and walked towards them quickly. When she got closer, she found that Shi Nanxi already had an umbrella and was also wearing a cloak.

"Second Princess, what is this?"

Shi Nanxi gently pulled the cloak and whispered, "This was given to me by an elder after seeing it."

"elder?"

Hongying's voice unconsciously became louder. She remembered that the Second Princess had no elders in the palace.

But the next moment, seeing Shi Nanxi's body swaying, she quickly put aside her doubts and supported the other party:

"Second Princess, are you okay?"

Shi Nanxi's lips were pale and she said weakly, "I'm fine, go back quickly!"

After saying this, he remembered something and said, "It's too cold. Put this cloak on me too."

What she was wearing was obviously men's and could not be seen by others.

Hongying quickly agreed when she heard it, and after putting on her cloak, she helped Shi Nanxi leave. Before Shi Nanxi left, she glanced back out of the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

At this time, Kangxi walked out from the corner, silently muttering the word "elder", and then he thought of the other party's weak figure.

He pursed his lips for a long time, and suddenly said:

"Go back and immediately send out the memorial submitted by the governor of Shuntian Prefecture yesterday." After saying that, he turned and left.

Liang Jiugong was stunned. The memorial submitted by the governor of Shuntian Prefecture yesterday?

Isn't it the memorial that according to the law wanted to exile Concubine Ping's third brother three thousand miles away? The emperor clearly approved it yesterday but he kept it secret and didn't send it out. Now...

He looked back at the rockery which was now empty, with some hesitation in his eyes.
