Shi Nanxi raised her eyebrows. This was a trick she had used many times before. She did not answer but instead threw the question back to Kangxi who was drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, do you think my third sister should come?"

After saying this, he waited for Kangxi's answer with a smile on his face. The other party was coming for Kangxi, so of course he had to let Kangxi solve it himself.

Shi Yiyao was stunned, she felt that Shi Nanxi was really completely different from before, her behavior was too unexpected, but she still couldn't help but look over with anticipation.

Kangxi didn't expect that he was called again while drinking tea. He felt helpless, but he acted very quickly. He put down the teacup immediately and said righteously:

"Of course I shouldn't come. The palace has its own rules. How can the teaching nanny break them just because of you? Wouldn't that cause chaos in the palace?"

His expression was no longer as gentle and elegant as before. Instead, he exuded the majesty of an emperor without even getting angry, which made people subconsciously terrified.

Shi Yiyao's expression suddenly became surprised and confused. She never expected that the emperor would suddenly get angry. Didn't he just show that he was extremely fond of Shi Nanxi?

Could it be that the favor was just superficial? A hint of joy subconsciously emerged in my heart, and I quickly looked at Shi Nanxi.

Shi Nanxi didn't say anything and didn't show any panic, because she knew that Kangxi hadn't finished speaking yet. Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Kangxi say:

"Although you are kind to others, you have always abided by the palace rules. It is outrageous that the people below are making such wild guesses. The teaching nanny should be punished, otherwise everyone will follow the same example in the future..."

"emperor!"

Shi Yiyao was secretly delighted by her guess, but when she heard the rest, she was terrified and quickly stood up and knelt down.

"This matter has nothing to do with Madam Tutor. I am new here and do not know the rules of the palace. I beg Madam Tutor to forgive me!"

After saying that, he quickly looked at Shi Nanxi with pleading eyes.

"Empress Xian, I didn't mean it. Please help me to plead with the emperor and forgive the teaching nanny this time."

She was not really pleading for the teaching nanny, but if the emperor really punished the teaching nanny because of her, everyone would know about it. She would also have to study under the teaching nanny for a month. If she was secretly making things difficult for her, she would be afraid that she would not be able to say anything.

Thinking of this, Shi Yiyao didn't care about anything else and kowtowed quickly.

Kangxi didn't look at Shi Yiyao, but turned his gaze to the little girl opposite him, his eyes said: Are you satisfied with your performance?

A smile flashed across Shi Nanxi's eyes, but she pleaded softly:

"Your Majesty, this concubine's sister didn't mean it. She is still young and new to the palace. She doesn't know the rules of the palace. I think the nanny is kind-hearted. Please forgive her this time!"

Kangxi curled his lips slightly, looked at Shi Yiyao, and then straightened his lips again, saying with dignity:

"Forget it. Since you are Nanxi's sister and you have sincerely admitted your mistakes, I will not pursue the matter against the teaching nanny. And you, in the next month's re-election, you must abide by your duties and behave honestly. There will be no next time. Withdraw now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. Thank you, Noble Concubine Xian, for your intercession. I will take my leave."

Shi Yiyao thanked him quickly and retreated carefully.

After everyone left, Kangxi put away his oppressive feeling and looked at Shi Nanxi with a smile, as if asking for credit.

Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi,

With a gloomy look, he said:

"This one has left, and there are countless others behind. Didn't I hear that many concubines want to get close to me? Why should I get close to them? They are here for the emperor."

Kangxi's smug expression turned into helplessness after hearing this. It seemed that Nanxi didn't know what his current status and favor meant. However, since it was his favor, he would bear it. He immediately promised:

"My words are as good as gold. I said that only Nanxi is enough, and I will keep my word."

If a man's promise is believed, even a sow can climb a tree, Shi Nanxi thought so in her heart, but she whispered:

"I believe in Your Majesty, but there are so many beautiful girls, each as beautiful as a flower, each with their own merits. I look away when I see them, but I can't help but feel afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to look away when he sees them. I know this is wrong, but I can't control myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, tears began to fall from his eyes.

Kangxi was so distressed that he quickly leaned over to hold the little girl's face, carefully wiped her tears, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, Nanxi. No matter how beautiful they are, it has nothing to do with me. I have said that in my heart, Nanxi is the most beautiful. No one else can compare to her."

"But doesn't Your Majesty feel tired of looking at my face every day for the past three years?"

Shi Nanxi's eyes were filled with tears and she bit her lower lip lightly, which made people subconsciously feel pity for her.

"If you continue to watch this, will you become impatient?"

"How can I possibly get tired of seeing her, let alone feel impatient?" Kangxi said with a firm look: "I wish I could stay with Nanxi all the time, but I have to put Nanxi aside due to my busy government affairs. In this way..."

What did he think of?

He opened his mouth and said:

"Recently, the spring ploughing in the court has come to an end. I am not very busy. Didn't you say before the New Year that you liked the hot springs in Tangquan Palace? We will set off for Tangquan Palace later. If you like, you can stay a few more days and relax. How about that?"

Shi Nanxi's heart moved, and her eyes, wet with tears, looked particularly beautiful.

"Just the concubine and the emperor?"

"Just the two of us." Kangxi affirmed.

Shi Nanxi's brain was working fast. She was just being jealous on purpose and wanted to show how much she cared about Kangxi. After a long time, the feelings between a man and a woman, no matter how deep they were, would gradually become dull. If they wanted to maintain it, they needed some freshness from time to time.

I didn't expect Kangxi to be so sensible. This is a good idea.

She didn't want to be in charge of the selection of concubines, otherwise she would not have handed over the power to Concubine Hui and others. Now she can enjoy the hot spring bath and completely get rid of the matter of the selection of concubines.

She also wanted to know how Shi Yiyao's plan would work if she was not in the palace.

"Okay, then I will let Hongying and the others pack their luggage and prepare to leave." Shi Nanxi's eyes sparkled, and then she thought of something and asked:

"By the way, Your Majesty, should we tell Concubine Hui and the others before we go to Tangquan Palace?"

Kangxi pinched the little girl's nose with a doting look.

“All up to you.”

Shi Nanxi's eyes are rolling,

Decided:

"Then let's not talk about it for now. Sister Huifei and the others have to take care of palace affairs on weekdays. Now I have handed over the selection of concubines to them. They must be very busy. I will not disturb them for now. Anyway, they will know in a few days."

"Then don't tell me." Kangxi said casually.

Soon Shi Nanxi called Hongying and the others who had just left in and asked them to pack their luggage and stay out of the palace for a while. Kangxi also instructed Liang Jiugong to make preparations for the trip.

Hongying and Nanny Yang were stunned at first. Why did the Empress want to stay out of the palace for a short stay out of the blue? But they didn't ask any questions and just obediently went to pack their luggage.

Liang Jiugong asked one more question. The main thing was to know where to stay and how long to stay so that arrangements could be made.

"I will take Concubine Xian to stay at Tangquan Palace for a few days."

After hearing this, Liang Jiugong was filled with admiration for Concubine Xian.

As expected of Concubine Xian, he could see what her half-sister was thinking just now, but Concubine Xian did not take any action herself and let the Emperor handle it.

He even directly abducted the emperor out of the palace. It was amazing, too amazing. Although his mind was in turmoil, he ran out to make arrangements very quickly.

Soon, without anyone in the harem knowing, Shi Nanxi and Kangxi quietly left the Forbidden City and headed towards the Tangquan Palace.
