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

Inside the main hall, Shi Yiyao clutched her handkerchief tightly, her heart pounding wildly. She didn't expect to see the emperor on the first day she entered the palace.

She used to think that the emperor was only six years younger than her father, and no matter how well he took care of himself, he would not be much younger than her father. But now she completely denied this idea. The emperor looked only thirty-four or thirty-five years old.

His facial features are not very handsome, but when put together they are very pleasing to the eye. He sits there with his back straight, holding a book in his hands with distinct joints. He looks focused, gentle and elegant, and exudes the dignity and majesty of an emperor. It is impossible to take your eyes off him.

She sat at the bottom, her fox eyes glancing over from time to time, and she felt that her future husband should be someone like the emperor.

Kangxi was in a bad mood because of what happened to Uya yesterday, so he went to Chuxiu Palace after the morning court session. Unexpectedly, he met the girl's half-sister.

Of course a man as perceptive as him noticed Shi Yiyao's peek. For an emperor who was already over forty years old, he had already seen through all the difficulties and could see the ambition hidden in the man's eyes at a glance.

But he was the emperor, he would not and could not take the initiative to avoid a concubine. He sat down naturally, picked up a book he had read halfway and started reading.

This was the scene that Shi Nanxi saw when she came in. It seemed that what Shi's mother said yesterday was right, her half-sister was not a peaceful person.

But whether or not to be content is the other party's business, and whether or not to make the other party content is her ability. Shi Nanxi walked towards Kangxi without stopping.

"Why is Your Majesty here? I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me."

After saying this, he bowed solemnly and greeted the guests.

Kangxi heard the noise and saw that it was the little girl who came back and gave him such a formal apology. He raised his eyebrows, put down the book naturally, walked forward in person, and stretched out his hand to help her up while saying:

"I came here early after the morning court session. I remembered that I promised to accompany you after the court session today, so I forgot that you had to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager and came early. I don't blame you."

Shi Nanxi was smaller than Kangxi and was completely covered by Kangxi at this moment, meeting his half-smile.

She said that she must not be rude, but she blinked mischievously, as if to say - Your Majesty, you are having a great encounter.

Kangxi almost laughed out loud, raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, then coughed softly against his lips:

"It's still a little cold outside, come sit down and have a cup of hot tea."

As he was speaking, Kangxi took Shi Nanxi's hand and sat on the other side of the seat. Shi Nanxi then looked at Shi Yiyao, who quickly stood up and saluted.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Xian. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

"You are... Third Sister? Why are you here?" Shi Nanxi was confused at first, then suddenly realized and quickly said: "Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Xian."

Shi Yiyao stood up and sat down carefully, but when she lowered her eyes she almost tore her handkerchief. This radiant and unattainable lady turned out to be her second sister who had been timid and cowardly since childhood?

She almost didn't recognize him just now. This was the person that her mother mentioned who was raised in the palace with extraordinary wealth. She was excited and ambitious. If she was also the queen, would she also be so noble and extraordinary?

Shi Nanxi looked at Shi Yiyao without saying anything, his eyes swept across the handkerchief in her hand, his eyes moved, and suddenly asked:

"What is the third sister thinking about?

Shi Yiyao suddenly came back to her senses.

Quickly said:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was just thinking that you have changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you."

Hearing this, Shi Nanxi covered her mouth.

He smiled and said:

"Oh, then Third Sister, do you think I have become better or worse?"

Shi Yiyao wanted to say against her will that he had become bad, but she could only say:

"The queen has become extraordinarily beautiful, noble and dignified."

Shi Nanxi smiled so much that her eyes curved up. Kangxi smiled at her. At this time, Shi Nanxi looked at Shi Yiyao for a while and sighed:

"Let's not talk about this palace. I haven't seen you for three years. My third sister has grown up. She looks so charming and lovely. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Kangxi felt helpless after hearing this, it seemed that the little girl wanted to drag him into the water, so he had to cooperate. He looked at Shi Yiyao with scrutiny.

Shi Yiyao didn't expect that Shi Nanxi would actually praise her beauty in front of the emperor. Feeling the gaze falling on her, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She lowered her head, and her cheeks gradually turned red.

She's not bragging, but in terms of appearance alone, she's no worse than Shi Nanxi.

Shi Yiyao had a naturally good-looking appearance, with fox eyes that were charming and seductive, and slightly upturned eyes that gave her a charming and alluring temperament. She had a straight nose and rosy lips. Because she was young, her skin was fair and delicate, which was pleasing to the eye.

However, Kangxi looked away after a glance, slowly stroking the jade handle, and said to Shi Nanxi with a smile:

"As expected of Nanxi's sister, she is indeed extraordinary..."

Is the emperor praising her beauty? Is he attracted to her?

Shi Yiyao's heart almost jumped out, but the next moment she fell from heaven to hell.

"But..." Kangxi suddenly changed the subject: "You still can't compare to Nanxi. In my heart, Nanxi is the most beautiful. No one can compare to you."

Meeting Kangxi's smiling eyes, Shi Nanxi's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up, and their eyes intertwined in the air, creating an atmosphere that no one could interrupt.

Shi Yiyao looked at this scene, clutching her handkerchief tightly, with undisguised jealousy in her eyes. Why was Shi Nanxi the one that the emperor liked so much?

Feeling the strong gaze, Shi Nanxi retracted her gaze and glanced at Shi Yiyao casually, suddenly remembering something.

"Oh, right? Today is not the first day of the talent show. How did Third Sister come to Chuxiu Palace? I remember that after the preliminary selection, the girls went straight to the Tiyuan Palace for a month of study and were not allowed to come and go at will. Didn't the teaching nanny tell Third Sister?"

Shi Yiyao froze, no longer caring about the jealousy in her heart. She looked flustered for a moment, but soon relaxed again.

Of course the teaching nanny told her, but Guo Luoluo Baozhu, who was assigned to the same room, heard that she was Concubine Xian's half-sister. Not only did she reveal her identity in public, she also asked her if she could help say a few good words to Concubine Xian.

Everyone knows that the harem now belongs to Concubine Xian. If you can gain Concubine Xian's favor, you will definitely have a bright future.

Then she was surrounded and held up by the crowd. It was not easy for her to agree or not, so she remembered her mother's instructions and found more excuses to go to Chuxiu Palace. She pretended to be embarrassed, but actually went with the flow and asked the teaching nanny for instructions.

The teaching nanny originally disagreed, but when she heard that she was going to Chuxiu Palace to visit Concubine Xian, she immediately changed her expression and agreed to let her go.

She didn't expect to meet the emperor the first time she came, but the emperor... She felt a little frustrated, and then Shi Nanxi's current appearance and the wealth and splendor that had been displayed everywhere since she entered the palace emerged in her mind.

Shi Yiyao clenched her handkerchief tightly and became firm again. She would not give up.

With a myriad of thoughts in his mind, he pretended to be embarrassed and spoke in a low voice:

"Empress Xian is like this..."

Shi Yiyao told the story of what happened in the Tiyuan Hall one by one, exaggerating to describe herself as extremely embarrassed but kind. Finally, she clutched her handkerchief nervously and looked at Shi Nanxi cautiously.

"My Lady, I only came to visit Chuxiu Palace because I saw how sincere those ladies were. Should I not have come?"
